The Consequences of Appeasement & Concessions by Israel to the Arabs

The decisions made by the government of Israel since The six day war of 1967 leading up to Gaza war with Hamas July 2014, as well as those of the first ten months or so after the turnover of Gaza in 2004 began, have dumbfounded historians ever since.
The PA leader Abbas makes a speech in front of the UN and announces that the Oslo Accord is no longer applicable and that he is not going to abide by its terms. Thereafter, Arab terror and violence, car ramming, knifing, stone throwing and every conceivable method of disturbance and destabilization is being applied.

The current Arab terror and violence facing the people of Israel, and the Arab claim to forbid Jews from Temple Mount, is a product of restraint to Arab violence and the concern what world reaction would be, while sacrificing Jewish lives, and diminishing the safety and security of Israel and its people.
The appeasement of Israel to the Arabs-Palestinians, in particular, has been so often held up as an example of how not to deal with a rising terrorism and violence that it has become a stereotype.
Had Israel stood its ground and responded to terrorism or any violence with utmost force and zero tolerance. Israel would not be facing today’s crisis.
As many have said – appeasement, concessions and lack of proper response to terrorism is detrimental to Israel its people and the Jewish people worldwide.
Israel under International Law has the right to build and live in Judea and Samaria and any other territory formerly within the boundary of the Mandate for Palestine in 1920. As decried by the San Remo agreement, confirmed by the treaty of Sevres and Lausanne; and the 1919 Faisal Weizmann Agreement, of which terms are survived in perpetuity. Any deviation or prohibition is outright discrimination against Israel and the Jewish people. As past history has proven, concessions by Israel have only increased violence and terrorism.
Israel is an independent democratic sovereign country and it must operate and run the country without being dictated how to run the country and without outside interference, just like the U.S. and other countries.
It is time for Israel to respond with extreme force to quell terrorism, violence and rioting – no holds barred, zero tolerance.
Israel should inform all Arab leaders in greater Israel that if terror and violence continues they will hold them responsible and they will bear the consequences.
What the Arabs could not win in loosing four major wars against Israel, they won in playing the deceptive peace game. The Arabs all the while are building up arsenals that commit terror and educating their children to hate, commit terror and violence and to destroy Israel. While enriching; their own personal pockets with the billions contributed by the world to help the impoverished Arab-Palestinian.
The G7 and other nations want Arab Oil and for that, they will do anything! The end result ignoring reality will destroy them also. The Muslims are taking over Europe and more.
What a scheme – and the gullible delusional world is buying it hook line and sinker.
When will the World at large learn that the Arab-Muslims cannot be trusted; they consider all non-believers as their enemies. I hope the world takes of the blinders, before the Arab-Muslims take over Europe completely and than the United States and Canada, etc.
I wonder, how come in the nations of the world; No one is questioning the 21 Arab States established after WWI with over 12 million sq. km. - 5 million square miles of territory, including Jordan's sovereignty, a country that never existed in history before WWI and which was established in violation of international law and treaties, on land originally allocated to the Jewish people in 1920, which included all of Palestine’s 120,000 sq. km. - 75,000 square miles of which 80% was illegally reallocated to the new state of Arab Jordan.
If you question Israel's rights and territory you might as well question the sovereignty and territory of the other 21 Arab States set up at the same time by the same Supreme Allied Powers that set up the Jewish State. It is also an injustice ignoring that the Arab countries have terrorized and expelled over a million Jewish families and confiscated all their assets including businesses, homes and over 120,000 sq. km. of Jewish owned land for over 2,200 years. Most of the expelled Jewish families now are resettled in Israel and comprise over half the population.

The definition of ethnic cleansing is "a well-defined policy of a particular group of persons to systematically eliminate another group from a given territory."

The definition of ethnic cleansing is

The definition of ethnic cleansing is "a well-defined policy of a particular group of persons to systematically eliminate another group from a given territory." 

By this definition, only one type of ethnic cleansing has occurred in the Arab-Israeli conflict - that of the Jews of The Middle East, Asia and North Africa. Whereas before 1948 there were over one million Jewish families living in Arab lands, by 2001 only 6,100 remained. The property of the expelled Jewish families from Arab countries was confiscated; which included; personal assets, businesses, homes and over 120,000 sq. km of Jewish owned land and is valued in the trillions of dollars.
THOSE WHO falsely claim Israel carried out ethnic cleansing of Arabs can point to no official command to that effect. Jewish ethnic cleansing from Arab lands, on the other hand, was official state policy enforced by terror and violence.
Jews were formally expelled from all the areas in the Arab world. The Arab League released a statement urging Arab governments to facilitate the exit of Jews from Arab countries, a resolution which was carried out through a series of punitive measures and discriminatory decrees that made it untenable for Jews to remain in their native lands of over 2,600 years.
On May 16, 1948, The New York Times recorded a series of measures taken by the Arab League to marginalize and persecute the Jewish residents of Arab League member states. It reported on the "text of a law drafted by the Political Committee of the Arab League, which was intended to govern the legal status of Jewish residents of Arab League countries. It provides that, beginning on an unspecified date, all Jews except citizens of non-Arab states would be considered 'members of the Jewish minority state of Palestine.' Their bank accounts would be frozen and used to finance resistance to 'Zionist ambitions in Palestine.' Jews believed to be active Zionists would be interned and their assets confiscated."
IN 1951, the Iraqi government passed legislation that made affiliation with Zionism a felony and ordered "the expulsion of Jews who refused to sign a statement of anti-Zionism." This pushed tens of thousands of Jews to leave Iraq, while all of their property was confiscated by the state and many Jews were killed and women raped.
Algeria has no Jews whatsoever. In 1870, the French government granted the Jews French citizenship, under the décrets Crémieux of 1870. (For this reason, they are sometimes lumped together with the pieds-noirs.) This decision was due largely to pressures from prominent members of the French Jewish community. Within a generation, most Algerian Jews had come to speak French rather than Arabic or Ladino, and embraced many aspects of French culture.
When Algeria attained independence in 1962, legislation granted Algerian citizenship only to those residents whose father or paternal grandfather were Muslims. Moreover, the Supreme Court of Justice of Algeria declared that the Jews were no longer under the protection of the law. The great majority of Algeria's 170,000 Jews were forced to leave the country for France together with the pied-noirs.

In 1967, many Egyptian Jews were detained, tortured, imprisoned, killed and Jewish homes confiscated. In Libya that year, the government "urged the Jews to leave the country," while permitting each to take one suitcase and the equivalent of $50.
In 1970, the Libyan government issued new laws confiscating all the assets of Libya's Jews. No compensation was paid. Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi justified this on the grounds that "the alignment of the Jews with Israel, the Arab nations' enemy, has forfeited their right to compensation."
According to tradition, Syria's Jewish community had its origin during the reign of King David. At that time, David's general, Yoav, controlled the region of Aram-Zobah when he defeated both the Arameans and the Ammonites (2 Sam. 10).
While rabbinic tradition identifies this area as Aleppo, the largest city in modern Syria, the settlement likely existed in the southern part of the country. By the time the Romans established their kingdom in the region, both Aleppo and Damascus had sizeable Jewish communities.
Although Syria still had over 35,000 Jewish residents in 1948, when Israel declared its independence, today only about twenty elderly Jewish people remain in Damascus. The severe persecution and terror forced the entire Jewish population out of the country and many were relocated to Israel.
Despite being forced from their homeland, the worldwide Syrian Jewish population has reached 200,000.
These are just a few examples of what would became common measures throughout the Arab world - not to mention the pogroms and attacks on Jews and their institutions that drove a major part of the forced Jewish exodus.
THE ECONOMIC suffering on the part of the two refugee populations was equally lopsided.
According to the newly released study "The Palestinian Refugee Issue: Rhetoric vs. Reality" by former CIA and State Department Treasury official Sidney Zabludoff in the Jewish Political Studies Review, the value of assets lost by both refugee populations is strikingly uneven.
Zabludoff uses data from John Measham Berncastle, who in the early 1950s, under the aegis of the newly formed United Nations Conciliation Commission for Palestine (UNCCP), undertook the task of calculating the assets of the Palestinian refugees. Zabludoff calculates that their assets were worth $3.9 billion in today's currency.
The over a million Jewish refugees, being greater in number and more urban, had assets worth in the trillions of dollars in today’s currency.
On top of this equation, it must be taken into account that Israel returned over 90 percent of blocked bank accounts, safe deposit boxes and other items belonging to Arab/Palestinian refugees during the 1950s. This considerably diminishes the UNCCP calculations.
THESE FACTS are intentionally conveniently forgotten and not publicized, leaving the way open for Israel-bashers like Exeter University history Prof. Ilan Pappe to omit any mention of the Middle East's greatest ethnic cleansing of the Jews. The Arab/Muslim ethnic cleansing continues until today with millions of Christians and other religions forced to leave the Arab/Muslim countries.
However, a few recent events are clearing the world community's perception of this history. On April 1, the US Congress adopted Resolution 185, which for the first time recognizes Jewish refugees from Arab countries. It urges that the president and US officials participating in Middle East discussions ensure that any reference to Arab/Palestinian refugees "also include a similarly explicit reference to the resolution of the issue of Jewish refugees from Arab countries."
Just as importantly, the first-ever hearing in the British parliament on the subject of Jewish refugees from Arab countries took place in the House of Lords. It was convened by Labor MP John Mann and Lord Anderson of Swansea, a joint briefing organized by Justice for Jews from Arab Countries (JJAC) in association with the Board of Deputies of British Jews.
Greater recognition of the refugee issue and the ethnic cleansing of over a million Jewish families who’s majority now lives in Israel, formerly expelled from the wider Arab world will bring clearer definition of the area's history to a greater number of people.
A people like the Arabs in Greater Israel cannot be said to have been "ethnically cleansed" from an area in which it has grown at double the rate of its geographic neighbors. On the other hand, a people, like the Jews that lost more than 190 times its number from an area over the course of a few decades makes a very strong case for Jews having undergone ethnic cleansing by the Arab countries.

There are no Jews permitted to live in Jordan and there are no Jews permitted to live in Arab/Palestinian controlled territory in the West Bank or Gaza.
