		<description><![CDATA[As Ms. Glick explained, it doesn&#039;t matter what the UN says. It cannot change international law, as laid down by the League of Nations in the Mandate for Palestine (See UN Charter, Chapter 80). Israel has better legal title to all of Judea and Samaria and all of Jerusalem than any other entity. I have no idea why you continue to think that Israel&#039;s success in defensive wars - when her neighbours did their utmost to wipe her out of existence - should be punished. As for the &quot;Palestinians&quot;, Israel took care of the Jewish refugees (there were at least 200,000 more Jewish refugees than Arab), absorbing them and giving them homes. Why on earth should she also be responsible for the Arab refugees of a war she did not start.

		<description><![CDATA[Only PART of the land currently under Israeli occupation belongs to Israel according to the United Nations. The original partition lines are basically still acknowledged though the negotiating basis of the United Nations is the 1967 &#039;borders&#039; enacted after the last Arab-Israeli war, that&#039;s why the U.N. has said the basis for a Palestinian state was the 1967 &#039;borders.&#039;


Let&#039;s not KID OURSELVES, Jordan&#039;s games over citizenship arose from all sorts of Arab protectionist political rationales. From maintaining land against fears of Israeli incursions during war to wishing to have a buffer zone, the Palestinians have been a political football between all parties. Ultimately and cynically, in the event of a declaration of war, claiming that its citizens were under attack would have enabled it to go to war on a more humanity-reasoned cause than simply to obliterate Israel.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You really, really, really need to do some reading up on the situation. 

Let&#039;s see: under international law, as Caroline points out, the land belongs to Israel. The UN, by its own Charter (see Chapter 80) cannot change that, no matter how much wishful thinking they engage in.

Where the whole Jordanian thing comes in to muddy the waters goes back to Israel&#039;s victory in the War of Independence in 1948. At the end of that war, armistice lines were drawn (not borders - it specifically spells that out in the agreement) that saw Jordan controlling Judea and Samaria and the Old City of Jerusalem. Jordan changed the biblical names of these areas to &quot;The West Bank&quot; in order to somehow solidify its claim, illegal though it was. And then Jordan GAVE JORDANIAN CITIZENSHIP TO THE PEOPLE THERE (by the way, these were all Arabs as the Jews had been ethnically cleansed - there was not a single Jew there).

In 1988, Jordan arbitrarily withdrew citizenship from every Arab in the so-called West Bank. So after initially granting them citizenship (In 1949, the Jordanian Council of Ministers added an article to their Citizenship Law of 1928 that read :All those who at the time when this Law goes into effect habitually reside in Transjordan or in the Western part [of the Jordan] which is being administered by [the Kingdom], and who were holders of Palestinian citizenship, shall be deemed as Jordanians enjoying all rights of Jordanians and bearing all the attendant obligations), Jordan then unilaterally denied them that same citizenship.



But you can go ahead and blame Israel. After all, that&#039;s just what people do.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I support Gaza and W-bank to Israel but the arabs must be facilitated to remigrate to Jordan and Egypt because they will not convert to secularism and remain hostage to the jihad agenda. 
Instead Israel must develop the gas and oil sector and buy part of the Simai. 
The European Union and its Euro will fall and their respective national economies have a short term growth with their respective revived currency and interest policy. 
The US - even under rigid republican government - will not recover from the 2008 financial crisis due to its defense industrial commitment unless the US will introduce parallel to the US Dollar a second currency like the continental. 
In 20 years from now the world will see the quantu chip controlling the humanoid robot creating 40 % structural unemployment and pension fund entitlements etc problems 
At the same time the nano medicines and nano internal body sensors all three will cause huge social problems... also in the islamic world. 
The entire Islamic world must be put behind an iron curtain untill (the politcal agenda of the) islam is uprooted.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What the Palestinians will eventually decide upon viz their statehood will have nothing to do w/the wishes of Ayman al-Zawahiri. Claiming that it does and treating the entire Muslim world as the power brokers of the Israeli=Palestinian situation is a diplomatic evasion of the facts. If the majority of the Palestinians say they are content w/X-Y-Z agreement in their seeking a Palestinian state, then that is what Ayman al-Zawahiri will have to settle for. The fact al-Zawahiri is speaking up on their behalf only signifies his interest in their situation, it doesn&#039;t grant him the status of ultimate power broker over israeli-Palestinian relations and decisions.


Of course the Palestinians have some legal claim to the land, otherwise the U.N. wouldn&#039;t have approved the ORIGINAL PARTITIONING of the region! You think that making absurd claims about that will make your case any stronger? Muddying the waters about the citizenship that is or isn&#039;t applicable to the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza is disingenuous in the extreme. If the Jordanians wanted the Palestinians to be Jordanians, they would have granted them citizenship and have taken them in. The Jordanian government would also be in charge of quelling the Palestinian uprisings if the Palestinians were legally considered to be Jordanian citizens. What, you think a sovereign country allows a few million of its citizens to be locked away in large-scale detention centers like Gaza and the West Bank? That a sovereign country allows its citizens to wage war without being called to account? If the U.N. thought Jordan was in charge of the Palestinians, there would be acknowledgement of that fact from the United Nations. There ISN&#039;T, ergo the Palestinians are a nation unto themselves.]]></description>
