Truth be told, racism and apartheid are widely practiced in Arab countries that deliberately refrain from granting citizenship to the descendants of the Palestinian refugees who have long settled in those places. This malicious discrimination is backed by the European Union, knowing that according to international law, the descendants of refugees are not eligible for any "right of return."
The defamation the
Palestinians are spreading against Israel seeks to label it an
"apartheid" state. Those whose language labels every black person a
"slave," see the security fence, meant to separate Israelis from the
terrorists who wish to murder them, as an "apartheid fence."
Recently it seems these
critics seek to import to Israel the mass murder perpetrated by Arabs
and Muslims against each other via the "right of return," even if it
means the end of Israeli Arabs as well. Some of the Arab MKs are
perfectly willing to gouge their own eyes out so as not to see an
independent, democratic Israel prosper in the face of the destruction,
rape and murder raging through Arab countries.
Truth be told, racism
and apartheid are widely practiced in Arab countries that deliberately
refrain from granting citizenship to the descendants of the Palestinian
refugees who have long settled in those places. This malicious
discrimination is backed by the European Union, knowing that according
to international law, the descendants of refugees are not eligible for
any "right of return."
Israel adamantly
opposes any "return," and therefore the Palestinians accuse it of
racism. Their deceit includes the notion of "negotiable return," saying
that many of the refugees' descendants would decline the opportunity
anyway.
If that is the case,
why do the Palestinians insist on this absurd principle, which has
become one of the main hurdles of peace? Why are they insisting on
bringing Palestinians to the "Israeli apartheid state"? It is strange
how the Palestinians, in their eagerness to form the State of Palestine,
are determined to see their people reside in a "racist apartheid
state."
Palestinian Authority
President Mahmoud Abbas and his ilk have no desire to see Palestine
formed alongside Israel -- only in its place. They know the refugees'
descendants cannot "settle" the future Palestinian state, as those
returning are bound to include violent elements, such as Hamas, Islamic
State and other terrorist organizations, which would train their sights
not only on Israel, but on the Palestinian leaders' heads as well.
Those supporting the
"right of return" effectively seek to annihilate the Jewish state.
Should the murderous horde overrunning Arab nations find its way to
Israel via the "right of return," it will become a bloodbath. The
Palestinian and Islamic incitement, compounded by the manner in which
Arab MKs lash out against Israel, saying they support "resistance" based
on terrorism and the killing of Israeli civilians and soldiers, reminds
us of that every day.
We are fortunate to
have Israel Defense Forces soldiers who keep the Israeli public safe and
allow Arab MKs to use democracy to lash out at their state this way.
Having sworn their allegiance to the Knesset, Arab MKs seem hell-bent on
debunking any image they may have as collaborators with Israel, and
they choose to make do with this ridiculous achievement while their
constituents strive for full equality.
Despite the
"apartheid," Israeli Arab leaders consistently refuse to liberate
themselves from the Zionist "occupation" and join -- land, property and
all -- the future free and independent Palestine. This is why they so
adamantly reject the Israeli offers for land swaps that would see the
subversive, separatist town of Umm al-Fahm, for example, become part of
the Palestinian Authority. Even the Arabs in east Jerusalem prefer
"apartheid" and refuse to forfeit their Israeli IDs.
Members of the Islamic
Movement and the Joint Arab List should be so kind as to remember that
the Quran makes no mention of the Palestinians' right to the land of
Israel or Jerusalem. Ignoring the Islamic scripture, which states that
the blessed land is the eternal heritage of the chosen people, the
children of the Israelites, as well as the fact that according to Islam,
God never violates his promises, is simply wrong.
Those who claim that the children
of the Israelites have "disappeared" essentially deny the vision of
Islam, which speaks of the return of the Israelites to the blessed land.
Meanwhile, the heirs of Balaam (a non-Israelite prophet who appears in
the book of Numbers) continue to challenge the will of Allah.
