Black Lives Matter is aligned with the BDS ( Boycott the Jews ) Movement , and that should terrify every Jewish American .
As its charter makes clear , Black Lives Matter itself is structurally anti-Semitic .

The silence of the Jews of America in the face of rising anti-Semitism is stunning .

The charter accuses Israel of being an “ apartheid state , ” and supports the anti-Semitic boycott , sanctions and divestment campaign against Israel .
It calls for local , state and federal action against Israel .
Among other things , BLM demands that the US military budget be cut by 50 % , “ which will lead to the closure of over 800 US military bases in the US and around the world , and the elimination of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ human rights , reduces the use and stockpiling of nuclear weapons and return all troops back from the current theaters of war.

The silent American Jews over BLM’s anti-Semitism
As its charter makes clear, Black Lives Matter itself is structurally anti-Semitic. It accuses Israel of being an “apartheid state” and believes US military aid to Israel is the foundation of America’s problems.
By Israel Hayom, June 26, 2020
The silence of the Jews of America in the face of rising anti-Semitism is stunning.
Over the Shavuot festival on May 30, members of Black Lives Matter, (BLM) carried out a pogrom in Fairfax, the oldest Jewish community in Los Angeles, largely populated today by ultra-Orthodox Jews. They vandalized five synagogues and three Jewish schools. Most of the Jewish businesses on Fairfax Avenue were looted.
As Daniel Greenfield reported at Frontpage, Allyson Rowen Taylor, a co-founder of StandWithUs shared an account of the riots in which they chanted, “F**k the police and kill the Jews.”
Aryeh Rosenfeld, whose store was looted, told the Jerusalem Post that when he came to defend his store there were people driving through the streets screaming, “effing Jews,” at the Jewish store owners.
Greenfield revealed that the Jews were not incidental victims in a larger night of “anti-racist” rioting by BLM. BLM in Los Angeles is led by outspoken anti-Semites with intimate ties to the virulently anti-Semitic Nation of Islam.
Over the past several years both the BLM-Los Angeles head Melina Abdullah and her daughter Thandiwe Abdullah, who is the co-founder of the BLM Youth Vanguard, have racked up long records of anti-Semitic rants and fawning praise for Nation of Islam leader Farrakhan. Farrakhan who has praised Hitler, recently called Jews “termites,” and obsessively rails against Judaism and Jews.
As its charter makes clear, BLM itself is structurally anti-Semitic.
While accusing Israel of committing “genocide,” BLM blames Israel for the US war against militant Islam. Its charter states, “The US justifies and advances the global war on terror via its alliance with Israel and is complicit in the genocide taking place against the Palestinian people.”
According to the BLM charter, US military aid to Israel is the foundation of America’s problems. Because of US military aid to Israel, BLM alleges, “Every year billions of dollars are funneled from US taxpayers to hundreds of arms corporations, who then wage lobbying campaigns pushing for even more foreign military aid. The results of this policy are twofold: it not only diverts much needed funding from domestic education and social programs, but it makes US citizens complicit in the abuses committed by the Israeli government.”
In other words, Israel is the root of America’s troubles at home and abroad.
The charter accuses Israel of being an “apartheid state,” and supports the anti-Semitic boycott, sanctions and divestment campaign against Israel. It calls for local, state and federal action against Israel. Among other things, BLM demands that the US military budget be cut by 50%, “which will lead to the closure of over 800 US military bases in the US and around the world, and the elimination of the sale of weaponry to violators of human rights, reduces the use and stockpiling of nuclear weapons and return all troops back from the current theaters of war.”
So for BLM, anti-Semitism isn’t a bug. It is a feature. Hatred of Israel and the Jews is part of its DNA.
This brings us back the pogrom over Shavuot in LA.
Two aspects of the Shavuot pogrom expose the increasingly problematic nature of the relationship between the American Jewish community and the American left.
The first is the media’s indifference to anti-Jewish violence. Aside from a few Jewish reporters and Orthodox websites, the Shavuot pogrom was largely ignored. And when it was reported, the deliberately anti-Semitic character of the attacks was either downplayed or ignored altogether.
The media’s refusal to cover the pogrom makes clear that most US media outlets have accepted the limits on freedom of speech dictated by the left. Identity politics now dominate the left in America. BLM controls identity politics.
BLM considers Jews oppressors, not victims. So attacking them is not an act of bigotry. Jews – particularly Israeli Jews, Zionist Jews and Jews who dress in ways that identify them as Jews – are fair game. After all, if Zionism is Nazism and apartheid, then Israelis, Zionist Jews and “Jewy” Jews are racists. The graffiti on Beth El synagogue in Fairfax told the tale. “F**k Israel, Free Palestine,” they wrote.
The media’s subservience to the identity politics mob was exposed earlier this month by the forced resignation of The New York Times’ op-ed editor James Bennet and his deputy for the thought crime of publishing an op-ed by Senator Tom Cotton calling for the riots to be quelled – by military force if necessary.
This week, NYT announced their replacements. Charlotte Greensit from the Intercept will be associate op-ed editor and managing editor of the Times.
Greensit is a member of the mob. As such, last month she participated in the left’s newest blood libel that Israel is responsible for the alleged systemic racism of American law enforcement agencies when she tweeted, “Israeli security forces are training American cops despite history of rights abuses.”

President Trump Executive Order Strips Federal Funding From Cities Who Fail To Protect Federal Monuments

We need law and order .
Trump Executive Order Strips Federal Funding From Cities Who Fail To Protect Federal Monuments President Donald Trump announced late Friday that his administration would be enforcing federal provisions demanding that cities and states protect monuments paid for by the federal government and threatening those who pull down monuments with “ long prison time.
” Trump tweeted about the executive order on Saturday , calling it a “ strong ” response to efforts , across the country , to pull down monuments deemed “ racist ” or “ controversial.
” “ I just had the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Order protecting American Monuments , Memorials , and Statues – and combatting recent Criminal Violence .

” Trump tweeted .
As the Daily Wire reported on Sunday , Trump also tweeted out a list of fifteen individuals wanted for attempting to pull down the monument of President Andrew Jackson that stands in Lafayette Square Park near the White House .
Desecrating federal monuments is already illegal , but the executive order adds some wrinkles to existing law , including providing cities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to protect targeted monuments , and threatening those municipalities that fail to keep protesters from felling statues with a loss of federal funding .
“ The new order enforces laws prohibiting the desecration of public monuments , the vandalism of government property , and recent acts of violence , withholds federal support tied to public spaces from state and local governments that have failed to protect public monuments , and withdraws federal grants for jurisdictions and law enforcement agencies that fail to stop their desecration , ” Fox News reported Saturday .

Trump Executive Order Strips Federal Funding From Cities Who Fail To Protect Federal Monuments
By: The Daily Wire, June 28, 2020:
President Donald Trump announced late Friday that his administration would be enforcing federal provisions demanding that cities and states protect monuments paid for by the federal government and threatening those who pull down monuments with “long prison time.”
Trump tweeted about the executive order on Saturday, calling it a “strong” response to efforts, across the country, to pull down monuments deemed “racist” or “controversial.”
“I just had the privilege of signing a very strong Executive Order protecting American Monuments, Memorials, and Statues – and combatting recent Criminal Violence. Long prison terms for these lawless acts against our Great Country!” Trump tweeted.
As the Daily Wire reported on Sunday, Trump also tweeted out a list of fifteen individuals wanted for attempting to pull down the monument of President Andrew Jackson that stands in Lafayette Square Park near the White House.
Desecrating federal monuments is already illegal, but the executive order adds some wrinkles to existing law, including providing cities and states with additional funding and support to protect targeted monuments, and threatening those municipalities that fail to keep protesters from felling statues with a loss of federal funding.
“The new order enforces laws prohibiting the desecration of public monuments, the vandalism of government property, and recent acts of violence, withholds federal support tied to public spaces from state and local governments that have failed to protect public monuments, and withdraws federal grants for jurisdictions and law enforcement agencies that fail to stop their desecration,” Fox News reported Saturday.
Attorney General Bill Barr has also authorized a special Department of Justice task force to “share information with local and state law enforcement and [] provide training on identifying anti-government extremists, according to an internal Justice Department memo,” per Fox News.
Several major cities have had problems with protesters targeting, tagging, defacing, and even toppling monuments. Although the craze began with demonstrations targeting monuments to the Confederacy, many of them erected well after the Civil War ended, the movement has since experienced a significant mission creep and is now targeting monuments to past presidents, Catholic missionaries, and even abolitionist figures.
In a particularly heated confrontation Saturday, protesters tried to topple a statue of Abraham Lincoln, paid for by former slaves, and celebrating the Emancipation Proclamation. The demonstrators were eventually dispersed.
Several individuals have been arrested in connection with efforts to topple monuments, including six people who desecrated a statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee, according to CNN. On Sunday, Trump also noted that “many” people are now in custody for defacing federal monuments, though he did not specify where.
“MANY people in custody, with many others being sought for Vandalization of Federal Property in Lafayette Park. 10 year prison sentences!” he said, ahead of a list of 15 “wanted” individuals.

Democrats Pass Resolution To Rename John Wayne Airport, Say He Was ‘Racist, Bigoted’

California Democrats in Orange County have passed a resolution demanding that the county’s John Wayne Airport be renamed. But there’s more: They want likenesses of Wayne — photos, statues, everything — removed from the airport, which was named in his honor in 1979, shortly after the western actor died.
“The Democratic Party of Orange County condemns John Wayne’s racist and bigoted statements, and calls for John Waynes’ [sic] name and likeness to be removed from the Orange County airport, and calls on the OC Board of Supervisors to restore its original name: Orange County Airport,” says the resolution, passed Friday.
The board cited remarks Wayne made in a 1971 interview with Playboy.
“I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people,” he said in the interview 49 years ago. “I don’t feel guilty about the fact that five or 10 generations ago these people were slaves,” he said at another point.
The demand comes as liberals across the country are pushing to tear down monuments and rename buildings and institutions that they deem to be racist.
The Democrats’ resolution applauds a “national movement to remove white supremacist symbols and names [that is] reshaping American institutions, monuments, businesses, nonprofits, sports leagues, and teams, as it is widely recognized that racist symbols produce lasting physical and psychological stress and trauma particularly to Black communities, people of color and other oppressed groups, and the removal of racist symbols provides a necessary process for communities to remember historic acts of violence and recognize victims of oppression.”
Ada Briceño, chairman of the Democratic Party of Orange County, told The Los Angeles Times that the resolution is not the first attempt to rename the airport, but, she added, said the time has come.
“There have been past efforts to get this done and now we’re putting our name and our backing into this to make sure there is a name change,” Briceño told The Times.
Said The Times: “Democrats point to a Chapman University survey released earlier this year that said 79% of county residents polled believe ‘that O.C.’s increasing ethnic diversity is a source of great strength for the region.’”
Wayne, who starred in dozens of movies, including “Stagecoach” in 1939 and “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” in 1962, also addressed Native Americans in his Playboy interview.
“I don’t feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them. … [O]ur so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival,” he said. “There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.”
“He also considered movies such as ‘Easy Rider’ and ‘Midnight Cowboy’ perverted, and used a gay slur to refer to the two main characters of the latter film,” The Times said.

BY Fox News, June 27, 2020:
Several Minneapolis City Council members who have received death threats following their calls to defund the police after the death of George Floyd have been assigned private security details — reportedly costing the city $4,500 a day in taxpayer dollars.
According to information obtained by Fox News, the city has spent $63,000 on private security over the last three weeks.
“The names of the people getting security details are not public,” a city spokesperson told Fox News Saturday.
The names of three council members who are receiving private security detail have already been made public, two of whom interviewed with local affiliate Fox 9 on Friday. The spokesperson did not respond to Fox News’ questions about whether or not there were additional council members receiving security detail.
The threats reportedly came after the council members were vocal in their calls to defund the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD).
The Minneapolis City Council unanimously approved a proposal to eliminate the city’s police department Friday, initiating steps toward establishing a new “holistic” approach to public safety.
The largely white police force has struggled to regain the city’s trust after the death of George Floyd. The new proposal would eliminate the existing police department and instead create “a department of community safety and violence prevention, which will have responsibility for public safety services prioritizing a holistic, public health-oriented approach.”
One council member told Fox 9: “I don’t feel comfortable publicly discussing the death threats against me or the level of security I currently have protecting me from those threats.”
They noted that the security detail was temporary.
But another council member told the outlet they had been worried about security since they were sworn in.
“My concern is the large number of white nationalist[s] in our city and other threatening communications I’ve been receiving,” they said.
None of the council members responded to Fox News’ request for comment.
The Minneapolis Police Department, which would traditionally provide security in this scenario, could not be reached by Fox News but told Fox 9 that the MPD does not have any records of recent threats against the three council members — adding that it was possible the record could have been filed confidentially.
“Council members have reported to staff numerous threats to themselves personally,” the city told Fox News Saturday.
One of the council members who spoke with Fox 9 said they did not alert the threats to the MPD because they were consumed with dealing with the “global pandemic and global uprising” after Floyd’s death. But they noted that the threats had been wide-ranging, attacking their ethnicity, gender identity and sexuality.
The Minneapolis mayor’s office could not be reached by Fox News to address the security threats against the council members. But a city spokesperson told Fox 9 that the MPD resources were needed elsewhere in the community. They also said that the cost of the private security detail was roughly the same as the cost for the taxpayer as would be MPD security services.
Private security has been provided by two firms, Aegis and BelCom, as an interim fix until other security solutions can be established.
“This security service was intended to be temporary and [a] bridge to other security measures implemented by council members themselves,” a city spokesperson told Fox News.
The security expenses do not need city council approval unless the amount surpasses $175,000. A spokesperson for the city told Fox 9 that the temporary security costs are not anticipated to come near that threshold.

“You don’t want 600 people to come here and destroy your business and burn it down”
By: Daniel Greenfield, FPM, June 27, 2020:
The riot in Madison was inspired by the arrest of organizer Devonere Johnson for ‘organizing’ in a restaurant. The resulting violence saw statues toppled and a Democrat state senator beaten.
Now the Feds have busted Johnson for blackmailing businesses.
Federal prosecutors brought extortion charges Friday against the man whose arrest this week sparked violence and destruction in the capital city. U.S. Attorney Scott Blader filed the charges against Devonere Johnson, alleging he threatened to bash windows of downtown businesses unless employees gave him money. Blader also alleges Johnson, 28, threatened to “shut down and destroy” another business unless Johnson and his friends were provided free food and drinks. In one restaurant, Johnson allegedly brought a boombox indoors and refused to turn it down. When the owner told Johnson he donated money to a group supporting the Black Lives Matter campaign, Johnson asked what he had done “locally.” Ultimately, Johnson allegedly told the owner “give me money or we’ll break windows,” according to the criminal complaint. Johnson entered another bar and allegedly asked for free food and drinks or else the bar would be “marked,” according to the complaint. “You don’t want 600 people to come here and destroy your business and burn it down. The cops are on our side,” according to the complaint, which included interviews with the bar owner about what Johnson allegedly said. “You notice that when you call them, nothing happens to us.”
Even Sharpton was slicker than that. But in the BLM kneeling age, Johnson thought he could get away with it.
Johnson, also known as Yeshua Musa, is a Madison activist who has been present at every protest following Floyd’s death. He was arrested outside a Capitol square restaurant on Tuesday after he brought a baseball bat and a bullhorn into the tavern and shouted at customers. The arrest sparked hundreds to march in Madison’s downtown streets seeking Johnson’s release from jail. The demonstrations turned violent and threatening as protesters entered a private condo building and forced a driver from a car, and assaulted at least two people — including a state senator.
“turned violent”.
Johnson appears to have been BLM identified.
Johnson has attended several of Madison’s Black Lives Matter protests and has spoken with New 3 Now in the past about wanting to arrange a meeting to speak with Interim Madison Police Chief Vic Wahl.
And yes, they all pull the “I can’t breathe” routine.
In a video posted to social media of his arrest, Johnson can be heard saying he “can’t breathe” and asking why he’s being arrested. While Johnson has no open cases against him, he has been convicted or pleaded guilty at least three times, including for felony theft, according to the court records and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Johnson’s felony theft charge from 2016 involved him and three others holding two men they had planned to buy cellphones from at gunpoint, stealing their phones and shooting at them, according to the Journal Sentinel. A judge dismissed the armed robbery charge and he was sentenced to five years of probation. Johnson was also acquitted of felony first-degree assault charges in 2015 in a shooting that allegedly left a Minnesota bus passenger paralyzed, according to the Star Tribune. The violence was sparked by a run-in between Johnson and a man identified only as “L.G.,” who had a previous relationship with Johnson’s girlfriend, the Tribune reported in 2015. The pair began to fight and a witness told police L.G. at one point placed Johnson in a headlock, the report states. Johnson allegedly told L.G. to stop, and said, “Let me go or I’m going to shoot you,” according to a witness cited by the Tribune. The dispute, and Johnson’s alleged threats, were caught on video. L.G. was reportedly shot in the neck and was paralyzed from his neck down. A jury later acquitted Johnson.
I’m guessing the man he shot has some trouble breathing. Local courts absolutely failed to hold him accountable. Let’s see if the feds can bring some law and order into his life.

Pamela Geller Files Injunction Request to Protect First Amendment Rights of ALL New Yorkers From Cuomo and De Blasio

Earlier this week , we filed a motion for preliminary injunction on behalf of political activist Pamela Geller asking a federal court in Manhattan to issue a preliminary injunction forbidding Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio from enforcing their executive orders forbidding all protests of more than 10 people in New York City .
The motion for preliminary injunction follows the filing of Geller ’ s federal civil rights lawsuit last week in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York .
The lawsuit challenges the executive orders of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York @ @ @ @ @ @ @ protests in the City except the government-approved protests of Black Lives Matter ( BLM ) .
Here is an excerpt from the brief filed in support of the motion : This case seeks to protect and vindicate fundamental liberties that citizens of the United States enjoy free from government interference .

“Liberty once lost is lost forever.” – John Adams
This case seeks to protect and vindicate fundamental liberties that citizens of the United States enjoy free from government interference. These liberties are not conferred or granted by government to then be rescinded at the will and whim of government officials. These liberties, endowed by our Creator, are possessed by the people, and they are guaranteed against government interference by the United States Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land. First among these liberties is the right to peacefully protest government officials through the freedom of speech and the right to peaceably assemble with others of like mind, both of which are guaranteed by the First Amendment.
The right to freedom of speech is not a right to catharsis. It is a right to meaningfully protest and assemble in public in order to change public policy. The most effective way to exercise this right is to organize and participate in a public protest as a group—there is no adequate alternative to this method of expressing opposition to the government, its officials, and their policies. Our nation’s history and experience with the civil rights movement bear this out, as do the recent protests surrounding the death of George Floyd—protests that are embraced, supported, and encouraged by Defendants.
Defendants, through the adoption and enforcement of executive edicts, have suspended the fundamental right to freedom of speech and to peaceably assemble in the City of New York for some protestors, including Plaintiff Geller, but not others in direct violation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments.
Through this lawsuit, Plaintiff Geller challenges Defendants’ selective suspension of the First Amendment. There is no justification—neither the fear of a pandemic nor public outcry over police brutality—for a government official to revoke this fundamental right for some of the people, but not for others. Indeed, there is neither a pandemic nor “primal therapy” [fn. a form of psychotherapy that suggests a need to find the source of early repressed trauma and, once discovered, to give it voice, oftentimes through screaming] exception to the fundamental liberties guaranteed by the Constitution.

Indeed, Jacobson affirms the crucially important role of the judiciary (this Court) to ensure that such an exception never exits. Per the Supreme Court: “[I]f a statute purporting to have been enacted to protect the public health, the public morals, or the public safety, has no real or substantial relation to those objects, or is, beyond all question, a plain, palpable invasion of rights secured by the fundamental law, it is the duty of the courts to so adjudge, and thereby give effect to the Constitution.” Jacobson, 197 U.S. at 31 (emphasis added).
If this Court were to accept Defendants’ position, then it is the fiat of the Governor and Mayor, and not the Constitution, that is the supreme law of the land. Cf. Sterling v.

Here, Defendants seek a “plenary override of individual liberty claims” through the enforcement of executive orders. What raises the alarm of governmental overreach to the level of an immediate constitutional crisis is the application of this executive override in favor of one particular message demanded by one group, large though it may be, but not for others whose messages per the Governor and Mayor are less pressing.

pamelagellerreport--2020-06-28--Chutzpah: Russians Warn Israel Against “Annexation” In Judea and Samaria (Part 1)

Here is the story at the Jerusalem Post : “ May lead to an escalation of violence ” ?
Yes , that is a possibility .
But it could also lead to a de-escalation of violence by the Palestinians .
For once it becomes clear to them that Israel will not budge , will assert its legal , moral , and historic claim , as recognized and enshrined in the Mandate for Palestine , to the West Bank , the Palestinians are more likely to relinquish their irredentism and be willing to discuss what they have been offered in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expansionist moves by Israel may provoke a dangerous wave of violence across the Palestinian territories and de-stabilize the Middle East as a whole , ” the ministry ’ s press office said in a statement .
“ The Russian side has warned its Israeli partners about carrying out unilateral plans that do not adhere to the international framework of Middle-Eastern de-escalation.
” Israel ’ s plans are “ unilateral ” because the Palestinians have refused every offer made to them , including those by Ehud Barak , offering Arafat 97 % of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jerusalem , and by Ehud Olmert , offering Mahmoud Abbas 95 % of the West Bank and an “ internationalization ” of the Old City .
And now , with Abbas having declared the Oslo Accords and all other agreements with Israel a dead letter , how can Israel be faulted for acting “ unilaterally ” if the Palestinians refuse even to discuss even the possibility of a future agreement and have ripped up all past ones made with Israel ?
The annexation or , more exactly , the extension of sovereignty to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and towns ( “ settlements ” ) by Israel will help the Jewish state defend itself .
It has had to fight three major wars ( 1948-1949 , 1967 , 1973 ) for its survival .
It is not only the Israelis who believe that control of the Jordan Valley is essential to their defense .
After the Six-Day War , President Johnson had the Joint Chiefs send a military mission to Israel to report on what , in the view of its members , were the territories that Israel would have to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ military men put first the need for Israel to keep the Jordan Valley .
The Russian reference to a “ future Palestinian state based on the [ pre- ] 1967 borders ” misleads .
First , it ignores the fact that according to the Mandate for Palestine , all of what is now called the “ West Bank ” was included in the territory assigned to the fuure Jewish Natironal Home .
Second , it ignores U.N .
Resolution 242 , by which Israel was allowed to keep some of the territories it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Resolution 242 spoke of “ the withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict ” : The chief drafter of Resolution 242 was Lord Caradon ( Hugh M. Foot ) , the permanent representative of the United Kingdom to the United Nations from 1964-1970 .
At the time of the Resolution ’ s discussion and subsequent unanimous passage , and on many occasions since , Lord Caradon always insisted that the phrase “ from the territories ” quite deliberately did not mean “ all the territories , ” but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is what he later said about Resolution 242 : On another occasion , to an interviewer from the Journal of Palestine Studies ( Spring-Summer 1976 ) , Lord Caradon again insisted on the deliberateness of the wording .
He was asked : Here is his reply : “ I defend the resolution as it stands .
What it states , as you know , is first the general principle of inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war .
That means that you can ’ t justify holding onto territory merely because you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : well , you go back to the 1967 line .
But I know the 1967 line , and it ’ s a rotten line .
You couldn ’ t have a worse line for a permanent international boundary .
It ’ s where the troops happened to be on a certain night in 1948 .
[ 1949 ] It ’ s got no relation to the needs of the situation .
The Russians know all this perfectly well ; the Soviet Union voted for Resolution 242 .
How then can they pretend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ author , Lord Caradon , says it most emphatically did not mean ?
Notice , too , that Lord Caradon says that “ you can ’ t justify holding onto territory merely because you conquered it , ” with that “ merely ” applying to Jordan , but not to Israel , because of the Palestine Mandate ’ s explicit provisions allocating the territory known now as the “ West Bank ” to the Jewish state .
Note , too , the firmness of his dismissal of the 1967 lines as nothing more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be on a certain night in 1948 , ” that is , nothing more than armistice lines and not internationally recognized borders .
Bad as those armistice lines were , with Jordan occupying large parts of Judea and Samaria , and in 1950 renaming those occupied parts as the “ West Bank ” in order to efface the Jewish connection to the land , Israel nonetheless still hoped to make peace with its Arab neighbors , and in 1949 it offered to make those armistice lines into permanent borders .
The Arab states @ @ @ @ @ @ @ everything to remain in a state of impermanence , a sign that the Arabs were not accepting Israel ’ s existence , no matter how small the Jewish state would be .
Besides , following the catastrophe of defeat at the hands of the despised Jews , they were sure that the next assault on the Jewish state , whenever it came , would be successful .
They just needed to wait , build up their militaries , and when ready , go in for the kill .
That ’ s what they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ results — for Israel — that we all know .

Here is the story at the Jerusalem Post:
The Russian Foreign Ministry [Sergei Lavrov] said on May 21 that Israeli annexation of parts of the West Bank may lead to an escalation of violence in the region.
“May lead to an escalation of violence”? Yes, that is a possibility. But it could also lead to a de-escalation of violence by the Palestinians. For once it becomes clear to them that Israel will not budge, will assert its legal, moral, and historic claim, as recognized and enshrined in the Mandate for Palestine, to the West Bank, the Palestinians are more likely to relinquish their irredentism and be willing to discuss what they have been offered in the Deal of the Century.
“Such expansionist moves by Israel may provoke a dangerous wave of violence across the Palestinian territories and de-stabilize the Middle East as a whole,” the ministry’s press office said in a statement. “The Russian side has warned its Israeli partners about carrying out unilateral plans that do not adhere to the international framework of Middle-Eastern de-escalation.”
Israel’s plans are “unilateral” because the Palestinians have refused every offer made to them, including those by Ehud Barak, offering Arafat 97% of the West Bank and the Old City of Jerusalem, and by Ehud Olmert, offering Mahmoud Abbas 95% of the West Bank and an “internationalization” of the Old City. And now, with Abbas having declared the Oslo Accords and all other agreements with Israel a dead letter, how can Israel be faulted for acting “unilaterally” if the Palestinians refuse even to discuss even the possibility of a future agreement and have ripped up all past ones made with Israel?
According to the ministry, an Israeli annexation of the Jordan Valley and other areas in the West Bank will “undermine the territorial integrity of the West Bank, which is crucial for the sustainability of a future Palestinian states based on the [pre-]1967 borders.”
The annexation or, more exactly, the extension of sovereignty to the Jordan Valley and the Jewish villages and towns (“settlements”) by Israel will help the Jewish state defend itself. It has had to fight three major wars (1948-1949, 1967, 1973) for its survival. It is not only the Israelis who believe that control of the Jordan Valley is essential to their defense. After the Six-Day War, President Johnson had the Joint Chiefs send a military mission to Israel to report on what, in the view of its members, were the territories that Israel would have to retain for its defense. The American military men put first the need for Israel to keep the Jordan Valley.
The Russian reference to a “future Palestinian state based on the [pre-] 1967 borders” misleads. First, it ignores the fact that according to the Mandate for Palestine, all of what is now called the “West Bank” was included in the territory assigned to the fuure Jewish Natironal Home. Second, it ignores U.N. Resolution 242, by which Israel was allowed to keep some of the territories it had won in the Six-Day War. Resolution 242 spoke of “the withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict”:
The chief drafter of Resolution 242 was Lord Caradon (Hugh M. Foot), the permanent representative of the United Kingdom to the United Nations from 1964-1970. At the time of the Resolution’s discussion and subsequent unanimous passage, and on many occasions since, Lord Caradon always insisted that the phrase “from the territories” quite deliberately did not mean “all the territories,” but merely some of the territories. Here is what he later said about Resolution 242:
Much play has been made of the fact that we didn’t say “the” territories or “all the” territories. But that was deliberate. I myself knew very well the 1967 boundaries and if we had put in the “the” or “all the” that could only have meant that we wished to see the 1967 boundaries perpetuated in the form of a permanent frontier. This I was certainly not prepared to recommend.
On another occasion, to an interviewer from the Journal of Palestine Studies (Spring-Summer 1976), Lord Caradon again insisted on the deliberateness of the wording. He was asked:
The basis for any settlement will be United Nations Security Council Resolution 242, of which you were the architect. Would you say there is a contradiction between the part of the resolution that stresses the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war and that which calls for Israeli withdrawal from “occupied territories,” but not from “the occupied territories”?
Here is his reply:
“I defend the resolution as it stands. What it states, as you know, is first the general principle of inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war. That means that you can’t justify holding onto territory merely because you conquered it. We could have said: well, you go back to the 1967 line. But I know the 1967 line, and it’s a rotten line. You couldn’t have a worse line for a permanent international boundary. It’s where the troops happened to be on a certain night in 1948.[1949] It’s got no relation to the needs of the situation.
“Had we said that you must go back to the 1967 line, which would have resulted if we had specified a retreat from all the occupied territories, we would have been wrong.”
The Russians know all this perfectly well; the Soviet Union voted for Resolution 242. How then can they pretend that it means exacrtly what its chief author, Lord Caradon, says it most emphatically did not mean?
Notice, too, that Lord Caradon says that “you can’t justify holding onto territory merely because you conquered it,” with that “merely” applying to Jordan, but not to Israel, because of the Palestine Mandate’s explicit provisions allocating the territory known now as the “West Bank” to the Jewish state. Note, too, the firmness of his dismissal of the 1967 lines as nothing more than “where the troops happened to be on a certain night in 1948,” that is, nothing more than armistice lines and not internationally recognized borders.
Bad as those armistice lines were, with Jordan occupying large parts of Judea and Samaria, and in 1950 renaming those occupied parts as the “West Bank” in order to efface the Jewish connection to the land, Israel nonetheless still hoped to make peace with its Arab neighbors, and in 1949 it offered to make those armistice lines into permanent borders. The Arab states turned Israel down flat. They wanted everything to remain in a state of impermanence, a sign that the Arabs were not accepting Israel’s existence, no matter how small the Jewish state would be. Besides, following the catastrophe of defeat at the hands of the despised Jews, they were sure that the next assault on the Jewish state, whenever it came, would be successful. They just needed to wait, build up their militaries, and when ready, go in for the kill. That’s what they attempted in-June 1967, with the spectacular results — for Israel — that we all know.
