The Middle East Crisis: Land For Peace? (Part 2) Series

III. The True Arab Goal

So, if a Palestinian State already exists, then why do the Arabs demand the creation of a Palestinian state within the boundaries of current day Israel? The answer is simple. The real Arab goal is not the establishment of another Palestinian State. The true goal is the destruction of Israel.

The Middle East Conflict was never a war between the Israelis and the Palestinians. It has always been a war by Arabs against the Jews. The war was repackaged as a conflict between the Jews and Palestinians as a public relations gimmick by the Arab fascist regimes. These regimes had never had any interest in “Palestinians,” in creating a “Palestinian” state, or in “Palestinian nationalism” before 1967. That is because Palestinian nationalism did not and DOES NOT exist. The Palestinians were a regional group of Arabs having virtually no cultural nor national distinctive traits separating them from Syrians, Lebanese, and Jordanians. They are all basically Arabs. Palestinian nationalism is nothing more than genocidal hatred of Jews.

God did not forget the Arab descendants of Abraham. He made promises and provisions for them, and fulfilled every one of them to the letter. The land that the Arabs are demanding from Israel does not belong to them, nor did it ever. And the creation of a Palestinian state is not the answer to the age-old conflict between brothers. Nothing but the return of Christ will ultimately bring an end to this family feud.

We’ll continue this series next week.
