from Saint Petersburg Times (approximately 1946)
Echoing the words
of Senator Claude Pepper, Democrat, Florida U.S. Britain United States
* * *
"WHY THIS HASTE and Stealth?" he asked in a
floor speech. "The British government which has fought all attempts
at freedom, all movements for independence in the Middle East , is now discovered in the gracious role of
liberator.
"Are there
perhaps some hidden resources, mineral wealth or oil which are involved?"
He demanded that the state department
explain its failure to protest the treaty violation, and urged that the senate
demand all the facts.
Pepper charged
that the United States United States Britain Russia
"WHAT I DECRY is the international hypocrisy, sham and
pretense. If the British people want the Russians to get their troops out
of Iraq Lebanon Syria Palestine
Myers picked up
that tune, changing only the words. In angry mood, the dark-haired
Pennsylvanian told his colleagues that:
1. The territory of Trans-Jordan is
contained in the original mandate for Palestine, and under its terms, the
mandate could not be unilaterally altered.
2. Under the Anglo-American Convention
of 1924, Britain United
States
3. This violation of the treaty with
the United States also "strikes at the charter of the United Nations
adopted at San Francisco" which "specifically states that no change
can be made in the status of mandated territories without the approval of the
UNO's general assembly."
Myers asserted
that there was no more justification for separating Trans-Jordan from Palestine United States
"Aaron Burr
tried to do that to our nation" he said. "He was tried for
treason".

”Anyone in Israel
No Jew has the right to yield the rights of the Jewish People in Israel -
ReplyDeleteDavid Ben Gurion
(David Ben-Gurion was the first Prime Minister of Israel and widely hailed as the State's main founder).
“No Jew is entitled to give up the right of establishing [i.e. settling] the Jewish Nation in all of the Land of Israel. No Jewish body has such power. Not even all the Jews alive today [i.e. the entire Jewish People] have the power to cede any part of the country or homeland whatsoever. This is a right vouchsafed or reserved for the Jewish Nation throughout all generations. This right cannot be lost or expropriated under any condition or circumstance. Even if at some particular time, there are those who declare that they are relinquishing this right, they have no power nor competence to deprive coming generations of this right. The Jewish nation is neither bound nor governed by such a waiver or renunciation. Our right to the whole of this country is valid, in force and endures forever. And until the Final Redemption has come, we will not budge from this historic right.”
BEN-GURION’S DECLARATION ON THE EXCLUSIVE AND
INALIENABLE JEWISH RIGHT TO THE WHOLE OF
THE LAND OF ISRAEL:
at the Basle Session of the 20th Zionist Congress at Zurich (1937)
"No country in the world exists today by virtue of its 'right'.
All countries exist today by virtue of their ability to defend themselves against those who seek their destruction."
“Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope”
“The Jews are a peculiar people: Things permitted to other nations are forbidden to the Jews.
Other nations drive out thousands, even millions of people, and there is no refugee problem. Russia did it. Poland and Czechoslovakia did it. Turkey threw out a million Greeks and Algeria a million Frenchmen. Indonesia threw out heaven knows how many Chinese--and no one says a word about refugees.
But in the case of Israel, the displaced Arabs have become eternal refugees. Everyone insists that Israel must take back every single Arab. How about the million Jewish refugees terrorized and expelled, from Arab countries (who lived there for over 2500 years) who lost over 120,000 sq. km. – 75,000 sq. mi. of land, homes, businesses and personalassets valued in the trillions of dollars. Other nations when victorious on the battlefield dictate peace terms. But when Israel is victorious it must sue for peace and sacrifice its security by conceding land for peace which makes the situation worse.
Everyone expects the Jews to be the only real most honorable in this world.”
