The following is a list of formal commitments and agreements made by the PLO and the Palestinian Authority with Israel and which were broken by the Arabs in their ongoing pursuit to destroy the legitimate and sovereign nation of Israel.
Map of 1947 UN Partition Plan Rejected by Arabs
Map of 1947 UN Partition Plan Rejected by Arabs Here is the official map of what land the Arabs who were living alongside the Jews in the Mandatory region could have had (in beige), but rejected, because their hatred for Jews even as early as 1947, exceeded their culture’s ability to co-exist with Jews.

The British Occupation of Palestine
I thought that this would be a good time to repeat a previous post of mine about the history of England’s principled role in creating nations, carving up nations and occupying the Middle East: During WWI, the entire Middle East, which had been part of the Ottoman Empire, was split into two parts. Half was controlled by France (the French Mandate), the other half by England (the British Mandate)...

Al-Qaeda Is Shifting Its Tactics and Finding New Followers
Via Al-Qaeda Is Shifting Its Tactics and Finding New Followers: Nearly seven years after Sept. 11, 2001, al-Qaeda is bloodied, but not bowed – leaving it still capable of dealing a devastating blow.

Abbas asked that Israel release 150 prisoners, including Marwan Barghouti and Ahmad Saadat, the man who planned Minister Rehavam Ze’evi’s assassination. We too want gestures. We...
Why Do Arab Nationalists Demand the Liberation of Palestine If They Gave Up on Other Occupied Regions?
We know why. Arabs are resentful that Jews are not going to apologize for surviving a 60+ year war that Arabs started, the same war that the detestable Arafat the Egyptian perpetrated when he created the PLO in 1964 – three years before there was an “occupation” in 1967. The 1967 war was a direct result of Arab aggression towards Israel, and a war which the Arabs lost. Arabs...
