Why Palestine Fails

November 16, 2023 By Michael Widlanski

Before creating another “Palestinian state,” let’s consider its chance of success. We’ve had several different Arab states in and around Palestine. All failed, some disastrously.  Will yet another Palestinian state envisioned by Anthony Blinken or some think tank become just one more “failed state,” indeed a state destined to fail? Yasser Arafat’s PLO operates a corrupt and failing state-in-waiting on Israel’s eastern flank, in an area commonly called “the West Bank.”  It has failed in everything but terror for 30 years.

Well-meaning Israeli leftists, backed by well-meaning U.S. think-tanks and State Department officials, believed Arafat and the PLO had become “moderates.” They gave them Gaza and the West Bank, offering them a ready-made Palestinian state. The PLO-Israel agreements of 1993-95 -- were meant to bring an era of peace.  Instead, they brought an era of terror: 2,000 Israelis were murdered in less than a decade. From Day One, the PLO violated all pacts with Israel, smuggled weapons, staged terror attacks........To Read More....

The Agreement Not Kept!

By Rich Kozlovich

It still comes down to demographics, economics, and geographics. They wanted their two state solution, and those who agreed to this current Gaza Strip and what can be called West Bank semi-autonomy,  also agreed to stop terrorism. They lied.....wow.... what a shocker.

But Israel gave them land, and a degree of semi autonomy, and what did they do with it? Nothing. There's no manufacturing, they can't feed themselves, they can't provide their own electricity or even their own drinkable water.

There's over two million people living there in that small geographic area, and if they have no commerce, and no appreciable agriculture, how do they support themselves? Charity! The world is dumping millions into Gaza, and so too is Israel. And is there any doubt big portion of all that funding is going to arms?

These were the dominant people in Palestine, and the reason why Palestine was a wasteland before Israelis took over, and would become a wasteland again if they took control. There's a reason no one wants them in their nation. As a culture, they're a lot of trouble and worthless leeches on society.
