Worthy Christian News Blog » Obama: We’ll create a Palestinian State

“What I’ve said is that we’re going to make sure that the Palestinians have a state that allows them to prosper as long as we also have certainty that Israel’s security is not being compromised. I think it’s in the interest of both parties, but we are the critical ingredient in terms of making sure that a deal actually gets done”, Barack Obama told Tom Brokaw on NBC’s Meet the Press. - Source:Ynet News

A largest segment of Israelis are secular and their viewpoint along with most of the world’s is simply this — If we can give the Palestinians an economic hope, then they will stop the terrorism and embrace peace. We can create a peaceful Palestinian state alongside the State of Israel.

The problem with this line of reasoning is simply this: You’re not dealing with “secular” Palestinians, you’re dealing with an Islamic indoctrinated society. Although the indoctrination process has been going on for generations, it really took hold when the Oslo Accords were signed in 1993.

When Oslo was signed, the agreement granted Yassir Arafat total control of all news media within the Palestinian territories — he took control of Palestinian TV and radio stations. With such control Arafat and the PA started indoctrinating his own people with such hatred for Israel, it will take generations to be undo the damage that was done.

The suicide bombers aged between 18-25 when the 2nd intifada broke out in 2000 were the same 9-12 years old who were brainwashed this hatred of the Jews espoused on Palestinian airwaves beginning in 1993.

So why aren’t older Palestinians becoming suicide bombers? Why are they all aged under 35? They weren’t indoctrinated in the same manner, and they remember what it was like before Arafat came to power. But now, this generation of suicide bombers that Arafat created is entering adulthood raising yet another generation with this same deep rooted hatred!

So what happens when the Palestinians are given economic hope? Let’s look at Gaza. What did the Palestinians do with the Gaza strip when Israel withdrew three years ago? Did they utilize the economy established by the Israelis? Did they embark on the path to peace?

Gaza is just a precursor of what would take place if a Palestinian state were created. They had an opportunity to really prosper with the economic infrastructure in place by the Israeli settlers who were forced for evacuate their homes — but they didn’t! Now they’ve embraced Hamas — they’ve embraced terrorism, because they believe that terrorism does pay! They’ve embraced the idea of a Palestinian state from sea to sea — which leaves no room for the Jews!

Until next time…
