One of the largest claims that the Jewish people have to the land of Israel is the ancestral line of most Jews that leads back to the very same place, Israel. On a personal note, I would argue that the creation of a Jewish state, military and thriving economy despite the adversity and enemies Jews have faced, should be the only factor Zionists need for claiming Israel.
Why is it that American media outlets are looking to Israel as the bad guy in a dispute with Lebanon? Why is it that President Biden has seemingly taken an interest in what happens in the Eastern Mediterranean? Both of these recent developments have the same answer in common, and it would be wise for all involved to focus on their own issues, and leave the challenges Israel and its neighbors are facing to Israel and its neighbors.
The Palestinian cause is riddled with inconsistencies, this is most evident when it comes to their denials of what most would consider historical facts or established definitions of numerous terms.
The most obvious of them all would be the definition of a refugee camp, and the United Nations has been complicit in amplifying this point. According to the UN High Commission on Refugees (UNHCR), the primary body dealing with displaced people, refugee camps are âtemporary facilities built to provide immediate protection and assistance to people who have been forced to flee their homes due to war, persecution or violence.â The painting that is drawn from this very broad term is that refugee camps must be full of temporary housing such as tents or even tin homes and medical posts must be all over due to the ârefugeesâ being in dire need of all kinds of assistance.
In recent years the Israeli government has been investing heavily in the newly found natural gas in the Eastern Mediterranean. Gas fields throughout Israelâs maritime borders were developed and the precious resource is already being pumped into many of the refinery plants that the Jewish State has created. Israeli authorities have shown the will to help some of their friendlier neighbors, Egypt for example, is producing natural gas with Israel's help and is a part of a major trading deal with the European Union in which Israel extracts the gas and Egypt converts it into liquid form (LNG).
After Egypt helped broker a ceasefire between the Iranian-funded and controlled âIslamic Jihadâ in Gaza and the Israeli Defense Forces, Egyptâs Ambassador to the United Nations proceeded to lay a scathing rebuke of the Jewish State. It is not surprising in the Arab world, specifically in Egypt and Jordan, where the âdemocraticâ leaders are brutal autocrats who fear a daily rebellion from their largely misguided, uneducated populace.
