Israel, Jordan and "Making the Desert Bloom."

The San Remo Convention claim is usually made by Arabists (and Jordanian Nationalists) Jordan got the short end of the stick, and has less arable land than Israel. Not only is this not true, but it shows the truth of Israel's miracle.  So, lets compare, shall we? Jordan is about 3 times the size of Israel, and 22% of it is Arable land. That is 7,588.9 Square Mile s. Jordan is widely in disrepair and the amount of Arable land has not changed much. Israel is 1/3rd the size of Israel, but 40% of its land is Arable. This was not the original situation; Judea and Samaria and Gaza have arable areas, and in the original "two-state solution" where Israel gets roughly all the land controlled today by it, the PLO and Hamas, Israel had a lot of agricultural land. Still, the British government state in the 1937 White Paper , used to refuse Jewish immigration to Mandate Palestine, the British government claimed only 2 million people could stay alive in the region without mass starvati

The Jerusalem Post Misses the Memo

  Recently, the Jerusalem Post recognized the “Nabka” in an editorial on the "Two-State Solution."  In a ode to the most sane form of craziness entitle "Israel Cannot Abandon the Two-State Solution", t he daven of delusion essentially skirted the context of the so-called Nabka in 1948: Arabs voluntarily leaving their homes, and an attempted mass genocide of Jews. It skirted many things, amongst them that Arabs who made the dangerous trek away from Arab states to Israel could  gain Israeli citizenship, individual homes can still be regained, and other individual facts which together destroy the Nabka narrative. Here's one, as an example: If Israel wanted to kick all the Arabs in its territory, it would have. Israel could have easily done so in 1948, as opposed to keeping any Arab who stayed and christening them Arab-Israeli . And after its victory in the 6-day war? A resounding victory against every neighbor? Of course Israel could have kicked them out. Instead

In Case You Missed it 17: Violence

Welcome! If you're a veteran to my summation of the news, and opinion articles galore (which I don't necessarily agree with), glad to have you back! If you're new, congratulations! You're all caught up. Lets get started: The Big Story:  Arab Israelis (and a minority of suicidal idiots) marked the "Nabka" day  at Tel Aviv University. Students who I say with 100% certainty got some form of financial aid by Israel attacked the country for not killing itself in 1948, claiming Jews not staying in Europe and dying in the gas chambers was a catastrophe, and that no Jew should have been allowed to move to Israel. This comes off the heels of riots at the funeral of the Al-Jazeera Reporter killed last week . One of the soldiers who fought the terrorists she was embedded with at the time of the firefight has died from wounds. Israel is seriously investigating the possibility soldiers killed her, despite how unlikely it is. The PA, Terrorists, Al Jazeera, and Google sear

ICYMI 16: Terror and Death

Big News: A journalist for Al-Jazeera, Shireen Abu Akleh, was killed in a firefight between terrorist militants and the IDF. Though Rashida Tlaib, CNN, Al Jazeera and others have claimed Israeli soldiers killed her. But the direction of the shot , claims by Palestinian militants they killed a soldier before recanting when it became clear they did not shoot a soldier (someone did fall), and the refusal of the Palestinian Authority to let Israel autopsy the body proves conclusively it was in fact the Palestinian Arab militants who killed the journalist. And Israel gets attacked for it.  ----- CNN's article on the incident described above claimed Arab Palestinians face extreme suffering and oppression under occupation. The Arab Palestinians in the PA and Gaza have a similar quality of life to other Arab countries, and its higher than many in Africa and Asia. Pakistanis, for example, have a lower average income. Yet which people is supposedly suffering more than any other? In addition,

ICYMI 15: Independence and Refounding!

The Big Story: Despite everything, the Jewish people shine brighter than ever. Happy Yom HaAtzmaaut! The spate of terror attacks by Arabs continues in Israel. Israel's coalition is also veering into crisis as Ra'am-the supposedly loyal Arab-Israeli party-is threatening to leave the government unless Jordan gains more control over the Temple Mount.  An Israeli Muslim party is threatening to blow up a coalition to grow the power of a foreign Islamic nation, and they explicitly state they do this because they'd rather have Holy Sites be in the hands of a Muslim-majority nation, rather than a Jewish one. The fact Israel leaves this in its Knesset is a Shanda of Shandas. The article You need to show to Israel-haters you know . Proud to be Zionist. MK Aymen Odeh explicitly engaged in dual-loyalty, desiring the annihilation of Israel and lauding violence against Jews.    This is why Israel is good. Dictators have to fear Jewish power . Even a state the size of El Salvador can chan
