RE: Doug Belot’s map in TMB 03/07/18.
In my previous letter, I mentioned that it was the US’s foreign policy to help keep Israel out of its mess no matter what the consequences were.
As a result, Doug Belot posted a map showing how poor innocent Israel is surrounded by the big bad Muslim nations who want even more of its territory. Let us discuss this.
Firstly, Israel was created out of the former Ottoman Turk empire after WWI, where it became a protectorate of Britain. During this time, the vast population was Muslim, it was a Muslim country and had been for well over a thousand years. Any control or contrivance that the Jews of Israel had over the territory was long ago destroyed by the Roman Empire when the emperors Vespasian and later Hadrian destroyed Jerusalem and kicked the Jews out. The end.
For nearly two thousand years, the Jews wandered about the land, whilst bemoaning their lot in life. Guess what? Other countries have been created and destroyed and their surviving remnants do not demand from leading countries the right to have their land back, do they? It is a natural evolution of empire forging and folding.
The Greeks are not asking for control of Turkey back, after its conquest by Alexander the Great. France isn’t asking for Quebec to be brought back into its empire. No, these parcels of land are part of another modern country and life has moved on. But not so for the Jews of Israel.
These people demanded, bribed and coerced their way into letting the British hand over the protectorate to them and the the US’s whole foreign policy in the Middle East has been centred on Israel from there on in, maintaining their hegemony over the land. They flooded the country with immigrants to make sure that there was enough feet on the ground to “justify” their control of the land originally owned by the Palestinians.
