Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas agree at least on one point: The “conflict” between Arabs and the Jewish state was not settled in the 1948 War for Independence.

In his Knesset speech Monday night, the Prime Minister said, “This is not a conflict about 1967. This is a conflict about 1948, about the State of Israel’s very existence. You must have noticed that yesterday’s events [“Nakba Day”] did not take place on June 5, the day the Six Day War erupted; they took place on May 15, the day the State of Israel was established.”

In his Monday op-ed in The New York Times, Abbas wrote, “It is important to note that the last time the question of Palestinian statehood took center stage at the General Assembly, the question posed to the international community was whether our homeland should be partitioned into two states. In November 1947, the General Assembly made its recommendation and answered in the affirmative. Shortly thereafter, Zionist forces expelled Palestinian Arabs to ensure a decisive Jewish majority in the future state of Israel, and Arab armies intervened. War and further expulsions ensued.”

Abbas’ skillfully written op-ed implicitly rejected the existence of Israel by stating that the General Assembly partitioned “our homeland,” a phrase that previously has referred to a Jewish state in declarations by the League of Nations and in the Balfour Declaration, among others.

His description of the chain of events in 1947 and 1948 parallels several Muslim and Arab alterations of history and the Bible. His op-ed stated that Zionist forces expelled “Palestinian Arabs” after the United Nations recognition of Israel.

However, Britain still was in control of the country at the time under the Mandate, and Israel, where the Jewish people already were under siege by Arabs, did not establish itself as an independent nation until the following May. Also, the term “Palestinian Arabs” was not invented until years later. The entire country was referred to as Palestine under the British Mandate.

Abbas also tried to establish as a fact that Arab armies “intervened” to stop the alleged efforts to expel Arabs and create a Jewish majority. Virtually every history book outside the Arab world notes that Arab terrorists attacked Jews for decades, most notably the 1929 pogrom in Hevron, where Arabs slaughtered 67 Jews.

The “intervention” was a declaration of war against the existence of a Jewish state, which Arab forces vowed to annihilate.

Abbas wrote that “war and further expulsions” ensued but omitted reminding readers that every war against Israel was launched by Arabs. He did not mention the war drums that seven Arab nations beat until the beginning of the Six Day War in 1967.

Six years later, Egypt, followed by Syria, launched an unprovoked war with a large-scale invasion on Yom Kippur, the holiest Jewish holiday.

Muslim clerics and the Palestinian Authority also have tried to change the Bible, referring to binding of Isaac (Yitzchak) as the “binding of Ishmael.” They also have rejected any Jewish ties to the Temple Mount, which has been subject to an Arab campaign claiming that it was not built by Jews and that the Western Wall is a Muslim holy site.

Similar claims have been made that Rachel’s Tomb, south of Jerusalem and on the road to Efrat, actually was a Muslim holy place, even though Islam was not founded until nearly 2,500 years after the death of Rachel, wife of Jacob (Yaakov).

Brannon and Jimmy discuss Glenn Beck’s announcement that he made this morning which is to hold a rally in Jerusalem. Today Beck declared, “It is time to return inside the walls that surround Jerusalem and stand with people of all faiths, all around the world.” Beck continues to promote ecumenicalism, to talk about miracles and now he is calling all faiths of the world to Israel.

Is Beck laying the foundation for the coming antichrist who is described in the Bible as being one that will call for a one-world religion, perform counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders , and confirm a peace treaty with Israel before breaking it? Listen as Jimmy and Brannon explain why Glenn Beck is a threat to Israel as well as the Church.

Beck also stands to make a lot of money off this protect as he announces he will have tour packages available online by this Friday. Is Beck really a great manipulator? Becks said on his Monday program that the gates of hell were going to come against this project yet in his book, Seven Wonders That Will Change Your Life, Beck said there was no lake of fire. Does Beck say things he does not even believe in order to manipulate his audience and promote his businesses?

It turns out that the Fatah movement realizes that the international treaty signed at San Remo in 1920 grants internationally-accepted Jewish national rights in the Holy Land.

The WAFA news agency of the Palestinian Authority recently reported that Fatah issued a 25th anniversary statement proclaiming that the San Remo Conference is the root of all “Palestinian catastrophes and sufferings.”

The widely-disseminated article did not make clear what the 25th anniversary commemorated, however. Fatah is 47 years old, and the San Remo Conference was held 91 years ago. The statement was issued for the Fatah Revolutionary Council’s Mobilization and Organization Committee, whose mandate appears in the original Fatah charter of 1964.

The San Remo Conference was an international meeting of four of the leading Allied powers of World War I, known as the post-World War I Allied Supreme Council. It was held in San Remo, Italy, and was attended by the prime ministers of Britain, France, and Italy, and Japanese Ambassador K. Matsui. Its resolution that a Jewish state must be established in Palestine, based on the Balfour Declaration of 1917, was confirmed by the League of Nations in 1922.

“It’s not strange that Zionist gangs considered San Remo Conference as the ‘Magna Carta’ of the Jews,” the Fatah statement asserted.

Background
Following World War I and the fall of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, it became necessary to determine how the formerly Ottoman-ruled lands would be ruled. The ruling powers decided the Holy Land was to be entrusted to a Mandatory, as the San Remo resolution stated: “The High Contracting Parties agree to entrust… the administration of Palestine, within such boundaries as may be determined by the Principal Allied Powers, to a Mandatory, to be selected by the said Powers.”

The resolution continued: “The Mandatory will be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 8,1917 by the British Government, and adopted by the other Allied Powers, in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.”

Political Rights for Jews, not Arabs
The international community – the Alllies in 1920, and the League of Nations in 1922 – thus officially recognized the national legal rights of the Jewish People in the Land of Israel. Significantly, similar rights for the Arabs in the area were specifically not recognized.

The resolution mentioned that the “civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine” must be upheld – but specifically left out any mention of “political” or “national” Arab rights.

A parallel League of Nations resolution did grant the Arabs “political” rights in four other mandates – Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and later Trans-Jordan.

Last year at this time, the European Coalition for Israel marked the 90th anniversary of San Remo, noting that it essentially gave birth to the League of Nations’ “British Mandate for Palestine,” which laid down the Jewish legal right to settle anywhere in western Palestine between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. Later, the 51 member countries of the League of Nations unanimously approved the Jews’ historical connection with the Holy Land.

Clearly, then, San Remo truly was a catastrophe for Fatah and the Palestinian Authority.

Walid Shoebat, a former Muslim terrorist who now supports Israel, has accused former Shin Bet agent Mosab Hasan Yousef, author of “Son of Hamas,” of duping his Western audience. Yousef denies the accusations.

Shoebat and Yousef are both former Muslims who converted to Christianity. Yousef became a celebrity when he wrote his book, which detailed how he assisted Israeli agents against Hamas. As the son of a high-ranking Hamas official, he had access to real-time information that helped the Shin Bet nab numerous wanted terrorists and saved many Israeli lives.

However, Shoebat – a noted author and commentator on the Middle East – claims in an article on hos website that Yousef “has since revealed himself to be more double agent than turncoat.”

“Mosab did not convert to what the West would recognize as Christianity, but to a fiery, Palestinian brand of the faith that is vehemently anti-Israel,” he writes.

Shoebat uses as evidence two videotapes of interviews Mosab granted to Arabic television channels. The videos, with English translation, can be seen here. 

Speaking on Al-Arabiya, Mosab said: “During my tours in universities and even churches, [I found] the real support for Israel stems from the church in the West. … We need to understand the difference between “revenge” and “resistance” and once the Palestinians do, we will have our victory against Israel. Israel is the problem and as an occupation it needs to end. … There are many ways to do this besides the cowardly explosive operations.”

He adds that he “suffered under all the problems of murder and the criminal operations that were carried out by the Israeli occupation against my people, my family, myself, and against humanity.”

When Mosab was being interviewed on Christian-Arabic television station Al Hayat, the presenter asked a caller what he would do if he were in Mosab’s position and could prevent dozens of school children from being killed by turning in a Hamas man to Israel. When the caller vacillated, Mosab spoke:

If I was in your shoes, you should not report it to Israel. I do not encourage anyone to give information to Israel or collaborate with Israel. If anyone hears me right now and they are in relation to Israeli security I advise them to work for the interest of their own people — number one — and do not work with the [Israeli] enemy against the interest of our people. They should collaborate with the Palestinian Authority only.

Mosab’s book is also “littered with factual errors and exaggerations,” Shoebat accused. For example: “Mosab portrays the Jerusalem prison as a center for torture and persecution of Palestinians. The reality is much kinder; each inmate has his own bed and an in-the-cell shower as well. I know this — I was a prisoner there myself. We ate three full meals a day, and drank tea or sweet punch.”

Shoebat warns: “Mosab is now touring churches to end Israel’s lifeline. Many Jews and Christians in the West are unable to determine friend from foe in the Mideast; they are not able to read what is said in Arabic. They must seek translations, and must be aware of double agents like Mosab.”
