Jerusalem: a flashpoint for conflict or microcosm of peace : Comments

By Alon Ben-Meir, published 14/5/2021

There will be no Israeli-Palestinian peace unless East Jerusalem becomes the capital of a Palestinian state while the city remains united.

The idea of any sort of shared national arrangement or two state
solution is impossible as the Palestinians want all the Jews dead.
They will accept that all Jews be expelled from the middle east.
It really is as simple as that. After all the Koran says so.

Historically it is the Arabs who are the occupiers.
Around 760 AD Mohammads' successors set out from Arabia to conquer
Mesopotamia to spread Islam which includes Jerusalem, Judea etc.
Anyone who thinks there is a solution while Islam exists is wrong.
It would be blasphemy to share the land. Once land is occupied by
moslems, it always remains Islamic land. That is the crux of the problem.

The cause of the current unpleasantness is the recently delayed elections in the West Bank. Abbas was concerned he'd lose to Hamas and so called the elections off. But he needed a reason.

In the M-E anything bad done by an Arab is blamed on Israel. So Abbas claimed the election had to be postponed because Israel might not let Arabs in Jerusalem vote. There wasn't the slightest evidence for that claim, but that doesn't matter these days. The eviction story was then used to get the locals fired up.

Hamas, who doesn't need any encouragement to kill a few Jews, then got involved so as to bolster their credentials whenever the election is held.

Meanwhile, Biden is fawning all over Iran to try to get them to agree to a new treaty and Iran has realised that the US is back to being a paper tiger. So they offer courage and material support to Hamas who then do the bidding of their pay masters.

Its all about geopolitics with the Palestinians mere willing cannon fodder.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that the original fuss was about those Arabs
that are to be expelled from the houses they are living in, the reason
has not been mentioned here, but the BBC did let it out;
They have refused to pay their rent !
The reason is because their landlord is a Jew and Islam requires that
he support the Moslems. It was either that or they were claiming
ownership which was why it was in court.
It seems that the houses were orininally owned by an Arab who sold them to a Jew.
Sharia Law prohibits moslems from selling land to infidels.
That maybe what it is all about and that caused the original riots.

An insolvable problem. Or perhaps unsolvable.

Dear Bazz,

If you want to support the toxic zionism which is at the root of all this then it would be good if you at least stopped short of telling their lies.

"In March, the Israeli authorities demolished, forced people to demolish, or seized 58 Palestinian-owned structures across the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. This resulted in the displacement of 81 people, including 42 children, and otherwise affected the livelihoods, or access to services, of nearly 200 others. All the structures were located in Area C or East Jerusalem and were targeted due to a lack of building permits, which are nearly impossible for Palestinians to obtain."

Dear mhaze,

Slight correction. It was the Israelis who are concerned about Abbas losing. He has tried to step down several times and the Israelis won't let him.
