Survey: Israeli Public Opposed Further Disengagement Even Before the War with Hizballah.

By Yechiel Leiter
For the past fifteen years, Middle East peace-making has been dominated by two consecutive, illusory, political paradigms. The first paradigm, encapsulated by the Oslo Accords of 1993, belonged to a vision in which it is believed that a solution exists to every problem.
The second paradigm – unilateral withdrawal – proposed that reality could be changed by withdrawing from it, by unilaterally disengaging from it. There was a hope that a fence would define a border and Israel would be left alone. But after the fact, the public no longer sees the Gaza disengagement as having brought Israel greater security.
In a poll conducted for the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs on 9-10 July 2006, just prior to the outbreak of the war with Hizballah on July 12, only 19% of respondents said that they felt a greater sense of security since the disengagement from Gaza, while 45% said they felt less secure. Only 33% said Israel was more secure as a result of the disengagement, while 65% felt that the disengagement did not improve Israel's security.

A Tour of Palestine, C.E. 1696 By Avi Goldreich

Posted by Aryeh ben Avraham | Labels: , , , , , , , | Posted On Thursday, 21 February 2008 at 21:48

Due the fact, that there are a few of us Jews who think that Eretz Yisrael, is not our Home Land, despite what is very clearly stated in the Torah and that we are the intruders and that the so called Palestinians are entitled to posses our Holy Land, claiming that it was theirs time immemorial.

I have felt the urge to post this article, so that once and for all, we can all come to the complete knowledge that the Holy Land was ours, is ours and will always be ours, it was given by G_d, to our forefathers, Avraham, Yitzhak and Ya’akov.

So it’s quite clear that we do not have to hand over one single inch of Holy Land to anyone far less to our enemies and this also implies that Eretz Yisrael is exclusively for the Jewish People, nobody else; which also means Arabs out and whoever does not profess their belief in Hashem.

IHC Abstract

A recent visit to Huber’s antiquarian bookstore in Budapest yielded a veritable time-machine: A large volume (in Latin), published by Brodelet in 1714, entitled Palestina ex monumentis veteribus illustrate, which documents a survey of the Holy Land made in 1695 by its author, Hadriani Relandi. Relandi was eminently qualified to conduct this exhaustive survey: He was a geographer, cartographer and a polylinguist, possessing - in addition to the European languages - full command of Hebrew, Arabic and classical Greek. His journey encompassed 2500 sites mentioned in the Bible, Mishna and Talmud.

He began by mapping Eretz Israel, employing plane-table topography, triangulation and a sextant for an extremely accurate map (relandi map.jpg). He then identified each and every site mentioned in the Bible, Mishna and Talmud with the source of its name.� If it was a Jewish source, he quoted the appropriate text from Scripture. If the place name was Roman or Greek in origin, he supplied the source for those. He also conducted a census of each such habitation, with the following data:

1. Not one place in Eretz Israel has a name that originates in Arabic.
Place names are Hebrew, Greek or Roman (Latin), that were given meaningless Arabic derivations. Akko, Haifa, Yafo, Nablus, Gaza or Jenin have no meaning in Arabic, and city names like Ramallah, Al-Khalil and Al-Quds lack historic or philological Arab roots. In 1696, the year of the survey, Ramallah was called Bt’ala (=Beit-El), Hebron was Chevron, and the Cave of the Machpela was Al-Khalil, Arabic for patriarch Avraham.

2. The country was a wasteland. Its few inhabitants were concentrated in cities like Jerusalem, Acre, Safed, Jaffa, Tiberias and Gaza. Most of the city folk were Jewish or Christian, and only a few Muslims, usually Bedouins. Nablus (Shechem)was an exception, home to some 120 Muslims and 70 Shomronim (Samaritans). Natzeret (Nazareth), capital of the Galilee, was inhabited by 700 Christians. Some 5000 people lived in Jerusalem, most of them Jews. Interestingly, Muslims are mentioned only as nomadic Bedouins, who served as seasonal agriculture and construction workers. The population of Gaza was equally divided between Jews and Christians. The Jews raised grapes, olives and wheat crops (Gush Katif), while the Christians were occupied in commerce and transportation of goods. Safed and Tiberias also had Jewish communities, but the only occupation mentioned is fishing in the Sea of Galilee. A city like Um-al-Fahm, for example, is mentioned as a small village consisting of 10 Christian families, with a small Maronite church.

3. Relandi’s book completely refutes postmodern theories about a Palestinian nation or a “Palestinian tradition”, and reinforces Jewish ownership of the land, to the total exclusion of the Arabs, who even stole and adopted the Latin name of Palestine. 700 years of Arab rule in Spain, for example, have left a real cultural Moorish legacy of literature, architecture, engineering, medicine and the like. Andalusia and Guadalajara are undeniable facts, whereas in Israel, there is nothing that is Arab: no city names, no culture or art, no history, and no evidence of Arab rule. There is only a legacy of violence and robbery of the Jews’ promised, most sacred land.

There is no Palestinian nation, there never was one, and there may never be one. This is an Arab fiction, encouraged by an Israeli Left that suffers from a severe case of self-hatred and colludes with the worst of our enemies.

I strongly recommend that you read this article in full at faz.co.il, it’s in Hebrew.
