Israel's Decision To Build 4,000 Homes in Judea-Samaria in Area C

Nadene Goldfoot                                              

 

The Oslo Agreement, also knows as the Oslo Accords, is an agreement signed between the State of Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) on September 13, 1993, meant to effectively bring the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to its end by means of territorial concessions with a division of Judea and Samaria between Palestinians and Israelis.  

Back in the days of the Oslo Accords, Judea and Samaria, Israel's original land where the Bible was centered, has been divided in areas A,B, and C.  This was an administrative decision and not a geographic division.  It was to be a temporary division and could have made an incremental transfer of authority to the Palestinians easy.  It did not address needs of anyone over a long term of population growth.  It's been in play for over 20 years, now.

Area A is for the Palestinian Arabs.
Area B is for both the Palestinian Arabs and the Israelis.
Area C is for the Israelis.

Area C includes about 60% of Judea-Samaria.  Judea is the southern portion and Samaria is the northern, the site of the original Israel after King Solomon had died and Israel divided into Israel and Judea with the line of King David and Solomon continuing to reign in Judea.

We have it on excellent authority by international lawyer Professor Kontorovich and others that Israel did legally have rights to the land because they were attacked by Egypt, Iraq, Syria,Jordan  and Lebanon's full armies in June 1967 and Israel won against their onslaught in a miraculous 6 blistering days!

Throughout area C are 166 little pockets of Areas A and B.
                                                                   

Accesses and Restrictions in Judea-Samaria

As I see it, the land is Israel's.  If the Palestinians were true to the UN's ideals, they would have made peace with the Jews in 1948 and have had many opportunities since then with the Khartoum 3 NOs refusal each time.  The good will of Israel has been very patient in waiting for the dreamer's idea of a next door neighbor, Palestine, living in peace with them.

Israel had been stabbed in the back by Obama as he was leaving his 8th year of office as USAs president with the Resolution 2334 in the UN and their abstention  to this terrible statement.  Possibly because of this, the Israeli government has finally voted, after 50 years this June 5th, to build 4,000 homes in their rightful holdings of Area C.  It was that, and possibly the warning from Trump not to build because then he wouldn't be able to bring about a peaceful settlement with the Palestinians that threw the Knesset the pass to build.

Supposedly, his father was Palestinian though he was raised in Egypt.  

 Israel has been through this argument over and over again.  Their building has nothing to do with Palestinians wishing to live in peace with the Jews.  They have had this land promised to them by others for so long-and they haven't stopped their warring yet.  In fact, they've  only divided up as cells on their way to a body part-now becoming from the PLO and Fatah to another cell of Hamas.  The responsibility of thwarting the creation of a Palestine must be carried on their own shoulders, and not blaming Israel.   All the delays have just given Jews the understanding that peace will never come. 

At least 50,000 Jews lived in Area C for starters with latest population at 325,500.  .

180,000 Arabs live in Area C, meant for only Jews.  Many have been building illegally.  They are living on "state" lands, and "firing zones."  

I might add that Israel has no other choice of land to live on other than Israel or Judea and Samaria's area C and part of Area B.  The Palestinian Arabs are free to move and live in the 22 Arab states surrounding Israel that Israel is not allowed to live in.  Judea-Samaria's history is with that of the Jewish people.  It has already come into their hands through the June 1967 War of an attack by 5 full armies.  The Arab armies had a choice; they could back off.  Israel had no choice but to win or die.  

 As  either Golda  or Netanyahu explained,

“If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more ‎violence. If the Jews put ‎down their weapons ‎today, there would be no ‎more Israel'‎”

Israel is divided between those on the left and those on the right, same as the USA is.  Remarkably, those on the right in both countries are the more religious of the two.  Netanyahu is of the right, just as Trump is in the USA.                                    

Earlier at Camp David;  Begin, Carter and Sadat
in 12 secret days hammering a peace deal about Palestinian territories out
September 17, 1978 without Palestinian participation.
"The Camp David Accords were the result of 14 months of diplomatic efforts by Egypt, Israel, and the United States that began after Jimmy Carter became President"

All these American Presidents who think they can solve such a problem and all the time it is the Palestinian Arabs in the first place who must decide to change their people's hatred that they have created and now make peace.  Others keep on failing.  

I might add that Obama's administration disregarded Netanyahu's biggest fear of the Iran deal and flew to the USA begging them all to be sure to make a deal that would defend Israel's rights of existence, for Iran has let the world know of their intentions towards the Jewish nation.  Even Trump has declared it's the worst deal possible, this coming from a top notch deal maker who wrote the book on it.  Now we have Israel's left moaning and groaning over building in their own space.
                                                       
I don't think anyone really understood what A, B and C looked like and the waste of space going on for all these years.  Israel has had the right to build when even the Oslo Accords recognized their rights.  It's today's generation of the UN who is not recognizing that right, led by begruntled Arabs wielding Arab oil power over thirsty nations who all live by "Might over Right."

Biden's Special Interest in Iran

Nadene Goldfoot                                                               

Joe Biden, born November 20, 1942-47th Vice President of USA, selected by Obama, served with him since 2009, now thinking of running for President.  He'll be 73 in a month.  

                                                                           

September 11, 2001 and New York's tallest building was hit by a jet plane that flew right into it. "8:46:30:^[10] American Airlines Flight 11 crashes at roughly 466 mph (790 km/h or 219m/s or 425 knots) into the north face of the North Tower (1 WTC) of the World Trade Center, between floors 93 and 99.  2,996 people altogether were killed that day.  We came to believe it was Saddam Hussein who caused it to happen even though the plane was flown by Saudi Arabians.

After this happened, Joe Biden wanted to give Iran a grant of $200,000,000.  He's been a great supporter of Iran.
    " An October 2001 article in the New Republic  "At the Tuesday-morning meeting with committee staffers, Biden launches into a stream-of-consciousness monologue about what his committee should be doing, before he finally admits the obvious: 'I'm groping here.' 
Then he hits on an idea: America needs to show the Arab world that we're not bent on its destruction. 'Seems to me this would be a good time to send, no strings attached, a check for $200 million to Iran,' Biden declares.

An Iranian delegation was in Moscow that very day to discuss a $300-million arms deal with Vladimir Putin that the United States has strongly condemned." The article ends with a killer line: "But Joe Biden is barely listening anymore. He's already moved on to something else.

Joe is thinking about running for president being Hillary Clinton is faltering in the polls.  He's beloved, but has already run unsuccessfully 2 times before and must give this special thought.  He would have to understand a lot more about the Middle East than what he displayed after 9/11.  First of all, Iranians are not Arabs.   The country cannot afford a president who gropes with main concerns.  He has admitted that he's pretty down due to his son's death and knows that this position will take a lot of energy." 

"He supported the appropriations to pay for the occupation in Iraq, but argued repeatedly that the war should be internationalized, that more soldiers were needed, and that the Bush administration should "level with the American people" about the cost and length of the conflict.  Yet he was ready to give Iran a lot of money for what reason?"    
Right after 9/11, Salam Al-Marayati, founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), met with Biden at" the White House  and had his picture taken with him which he used to his advantage.
  He indicated that it was Israel who caused the 9/11 attacks.  This same man  participated in a CVE Summit, a three-day forum focused on countering radical extremism which started on Tuesday.  It  came in the wake of multiple anti-Semitic attacks across the globe and pressure for an increased military campaign against the Islamic State (IS) terror group.  "Al-Marayati also caused controversy in 2012, when he was selected by the Obama administration to represent the United States government at a human rights conference sponsored by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).

The fact is that Biden has had ties to Pro Iran groups.  "Kaveh Mohseni, a spokesman for the Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy in Iran, calls Biden "a great friend of the mullahs." He notes that Bidens election campaigns "have been financed by Islamic charities of the Iranian regime based in California and by the Silicon Iran network," a loosely-knit group of wealthy Iranian-American businessmen and women seeking to end the U.S. trade embargo on Iran. "In exchange, the senator does his best to aid the mullahs," Mohseni argues. Biden's ties to pro-Tehran lobbying groups are no secret. 
                                                                              

There are 2 types of people residing in Iran today.  Some are Shi'a followers of the Ayatollah and Ahmadinejad who are deathly against the survival of Israel and there are just people who would like to embrace Democracy and cut out the need to attack other countries, and especially not Israel.  After all, there are still Jews living in Iran and have been since the Babylonian attack on Judah in 597 and 586 BCE when they kidnapped many Jews and they wound up in Persia.  

Today's government, who has kept Kerry at the table for the past 2 years giving away the baby with the bathtub and calling it a good deal, the best to expect, wants to destroy Israel.   That would make them the king of the mountain  in the Sunni's eyes and they would have to bow to them from then on as they would have atomic power.   Ending sanctions was not the thing to do right away.  Our government doesn't vote on the Iran deal until September 17th.  They may do the right thing and turn it down.  

Of course, being a Democrat, he's all for the Iran deal.  ""I was extremely skeptical about whether or not we could ever get them [Iran] to the table and ever move them in a direction where there would be an agreement that made sense for us, for Israel and for the world. ... I've been the guy who's most skeptical in the outfit," Biden said. "I am strongly supportive of this agreement. Standing on its own legs, it's a good agreement."  I'm afraid this is the thinking of many Democrats who obviously don't know how to barter for a better deal.  It has also been way to long a time to get such a deal, as bad as it is.  Iran has had 2 years of doing what they wanted to accomplish and have a deal that allows them to keep their military sites  of Parchin off limits to inspectors.  Besides that immense mistake, the USA is allowing the Iranians to do their own inspecting on certain sites.  That's letting the fox inspect the chicken coop.  

Evidently a lot of Iranian-American money has gone into Biden's position to get him where he is today, and a lot more could go to his coffers to run for president to help beat the Republican nominee.  In April Joe talked to a Jewish group and told them that the Iran deal wasn't a great bargain.  He was shoring up the US-Israel ties.  In July of this year  it was published that Biden spent nearly an hour trying to convince top Jewish leaders to support the nuclear accord and promised them that if Iran ever violates the deal, the United States is still prepared to carry out a military strike against the Islamic Republic’s nuclear sites.  Biden was called Tehran Joe Biden.   Now He's talking to them again in Florida and will give them the great Biden pitch that it's a great deal, just like a politician.  

Update: 8/16/2020
Now that Biden has selected Kamala Harris for his running mate, she has come out and said she would not support Trump's stand on Iran but would go back to Obama's views on it.
