A reminder to people dealing with the Near-East calamities, especially to our One people, One Nation

I received this post from someone interested in knowing more on the political conditions in Lebanon and our policies toward the refugees (Palestinians and Syrians).

“I’d like to thank you for your blog article ‘How US State Department created 5 million Palestinian refugees?’ (May 31, 2012; https://adonis49.wordpress.com/2012/05/31/how-us-state-department-created-5-million-palestinian-refugees/).

I found your article while surfing for background perspective on recent news about the Trump Administration’s alleged efforts to reform the definition of ‘Palestinian refugees’ from the UNRWA (hereditary) standard to the UNCHR (non-herdeditary) norm, and to undermine UNRWA and their operations (https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/08/03/trump-palestinians-israel-refugees-unrwaand-allies-seek-end-to-refugee-status-for-millions-of-palestinians-united-nations-relief-and-works-agency-unrwa-israel-palestine-peace-plan-jared-kushner-greenb/).

Your article provided some of the most useful and relevant information on this subject, far better (I’m sorry to say) than most of the articles by professional journalists in the States who are supposed to inform my fellow citizens about the proceedings of our government.

I’d be interested in reading your thoughts, incidentally, on these current events, since this particular aspect of US policy could have a fundamental effect on Lebanon’s ‘confessional’ government, since it would theoretically challenge the legality of denying citizenship to the large Palestinian (and now Syrian) population that immigrated as asylum-seekers.”

My reply was:

“Your queries requires another expanded article to reply to your concerns. I would start by reminding my readers of a few fundamentals;

1) A reminder for our people in the Near-East that Israel was implanted in our region to prevent any daily trade and communication among the same people (in the Near East and an expansion to the Middle-East as a strategic geopolitical region).

2) Israel was created to fail us any sustained development among the same people who were divided into “independent” States to foment civil wars among themselves as any kinds of development emerged.

3) Israel and the colonial powers of USA/France/Britain are existential threat to our future well-being. Their goal is to hinder and prevent any facilitation of daily interconnection.

4) This region was linked by train system and boats before the establishment of Israel, and when any part experienced economic difficulties, they simply transferred to another part.

5) We are One people and One Nation with same language (different slang obviously), same tradition, same customs same culinary system…The colonial powers didn’t want this One people to resume their progress since the discovery of Oil and Gas in abundance could be used as a  strategic weapon.

6) Israel was used as a colonial implant to effectively separate this One people. Consequently, each State is behaving in isolation of the common interest and denying the refugees (consequence of the Machiavelli plans of the colonial powers) permanent residency that would satisfy Israel requirement of transforming itself into a purely Jewish Homeland, which it blatantly confirmed it in its recent constitution. 

7) The US “christian” Evangelical Zionist movement provided the religious background as excuse to fulfilling the colonial powers interest in a divided region.

8) Trump is simply ratifying what Congress has already proclaimed 2 decades ago that Jerusalem is the Capital of Israel. and the process is being quickened.

9) Thus, No other alternative to the people in this region but to resist this advanced and hurried process of re-transferring everybody for the nth time since 1948.
