Good article, and I'd add something usually overlooked: Art. 24 of the 1964 PLO Charter specifically DISCLAIMED Judea/Samaria as part of "Palestine." 3 years later, Israel captured the land from Jordan in a defensive war, and the territory magically became "occupied Palestine." So it was never an Arab country of Palestine, and Pal leaders didn't even claim otherwise until Jews returned (Jordan having ethnically cleansed all Jews in '48). Thus, on top of everything else, the entire Pal claim to Judea/Samaria is a house of cards.
I've been asking that for ages.It's one thing for Palestinians to say they don't want Jews to live in any state of theirs (not that they want one, they just want all of Israel), another for the whole world to nod in sympathy. Two million Arab Israeli citizens but "Palestine" ,must be judenfrei.
We need to change our entire defensive terminology and inundate AI and media with a new one.
Discard " double standard". It's an intellectual concept, and the Beast that revealed itself as Freud predicted in the regressive West- and had survived in the Islamic Middle East- isn't affected by it. One cannot combat predator animals with reason. Or any creature reduced to instinctual violence.
The higher standard that Israel and the Jews represent is precisely what is hated, as much by fraudulent " Palestinians" ( genocidal Arabs like so many others) as by British and other European Jew-haters, and by "as a Jew" type of incoherent Muslim fearers like Milliband.
There should be one " standard", in this case: the Arab Muslim standard. Jews hated and slaughtered by Arabs should be equivalent to Arabs slaughtered in Israel. Not that Israel and the Jews would insist on that . It's to us a taboo notion .But truly, only to us.
That's the message to those fake " Palestinians", who as Arab Muslims since the beginning of the 20th century, and right after WWI, wanted the Jews dead .There was no State of Israel . There were..... Jews. There's a great episode by Coleman on the book "Palestine 1936". No double standard existed then. Only one: genocide the Jews. Unless they can be forced to be dhimmis.
We should disseminate the notion of the " equal standard". Not because their standard is humanly acceptable. Precisely, because it isn't. Unless we go on the offensive, our story and our spirit will be told and interpreted by others, becoming the opposite of what it is. It should be no longer about holding Israel by any standard held by third parties. Leave the self- introspection to us. We invented it.
By complaining about this unfairness we legitimise it. It continues to exist like Jew-hatred will continue to exist in barbaric Western and Muslim lands.
Instead, let's only talk about Muslim history and Arab standards. With examples of horror, slaughter, history, colonialism, ethnic cleansing, apartheid and the erasure of other civilisations and faiths .
I read that Saudi Arabia announced massive revenge actions for the latest attacks and devastations of Houthis on Saudi-Arabia; I expect the Miliband-Burnham-Jumble to put massive sanctions on Saudi-Arabia.
You are correct in laying out logic and facts. Including Arafat's quote, which is the execution of the the true definition of "genocide" and not its current left-wing redefinition.
John, an excellent analysis of the ‘real position’ of Israel and the West Bank. Clearly showing that not only is Milliband mis-informed, deluded and a liar .. he is dam right dangerous to the Jewish people.
Not clear to me if you are arguing that Jews should be welcome in a Palestinian State or just that there is hypocrisy. Hypocrisy isn’t news, of course. If we hope to ever achieve a lasting peace and prosperity for all people in the land we’ll need to stop pointing out hypocrisy and instead focus on working towards solutions. Maybe more Jews could wrap their heads around a Palestinian State if it were actually one where Jews were free to fully participate in a liberal democratic society just as anyone including Palestinians are free to do in Israel.
Good article, but who cares what he brits say. They have surrendered their country to the Muslims. England has ceased to be a world power. They’re weak and they are losing their culture. But they want to tell Israel how to run their country...
Israel began its administration of disputed Jordanian and Egyptian occupied territories in 1967....since Oslo the Arabs have thwarted any plan to set up a Pal state in those lands....and some of which would be absorbed by Israel. Since their refusal....the Jewish population in the disputed territories has grown. I don't expect Israel will do what it did to the Jews in Gaza. the Muslim brother via CAIR now operates openly in the USA.
If you deal with the left, you will be inundated in 'double standards'. For years or perhaps decades, the left touted themselves as 'defenders of the rights of women and gays'. Now the left, who delight in feeding lies to the 'useful idiots', is fully allied with followers of Islam (FOI) who murder gays and degrade, debase, and sometimes outright rape and murder women. So please don't bother expecting even the slightest truth or honesty from the left. And do expect double talk, double standards, and outright lies. In that context, "the clarion call of many European governments, including the UK, has been that Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria (also known as the West Bank) are illegal" makes perfect sense since the leftists running those governments are now, in their alliance with FOI, fully supportive of the goal of of FOI, world domination by Islam and the left and in particular, the destruction of Israel.
I guess that all this badmouthing double standards against the State of Israel is just another tactic to distract the public from the incompetence of the UK 🇬🇧 governments.
The quote from Arafat, like the Hamas Charter, like the declared, formal objectives of Iran's leaders is completely ignored by those Western politicians determined to pander to Muslim votes.
(Whilst importing tens, hundreds of thousands of new Muslim voters into our countries)
You ask:
'What possible sane nation would entertain a state the other side which has an open policy of rewarding terrorists to kill its neighbouring citizens?'
Others will write as I do....why must Samaria and Judea....JUDEA.....be Judenrein? I don't believe any "palestinian state" can be trusted.....so Jews living as citizens in such a state? Yes from about 150K people who remained within Israel, there is now over two million....the Jews are about 7 million....it's still the goal of Islam to eradicate the Jews....the horrific atrocities of Oct. 7 were planned ....they were trained to torture and murder Jews....so as to inflict such fear the Jews will run to the Ben Gurion to leave....this didn't happen. The Europeans are clearly still Jew Haters. They collaborated during the German led Holocaust and they collaborate with Hamas today.

This is a splendid takedown of the whole settler violence narrative.

Great article but you forgot to include our mother Sarah in the list of ancestors buried in the machpala cave.

f them.
Hamas began with the first intifada against the Israeli occupation in 1987 it has its origins in Egypt’s Muslim brotherhood.
Israel began its administration of disputed Jordanian and Egyptian occupied territories in 1967....since Oslo the Arabs have thwarted any plan to set up a Pal state in those lands....and some of which would be absorbed by Israel. Since their refusal....the Jewish population in the disputed territories has grown. I don't expect Israel will do what it did to the Jews in Gaza. the Muslim brother via CAIR now operates openly in the USA.
Screw the West. Annexation is the only response.

Maybe Ed Miliband should be more concerned about the rape gangs in the UK 🇬🇧 instead of preaching against a few hit heads in Israel:

Thank you John.
Again we are privileged to read some facts.
Some genuine history.
Some socio-economic reality.
The quote from Arafat, like the Hamas Charter, like the declared, formal objectives of Iran's leaders is completely ignored by those Western politicians determined to pander to Muslim votes.

We must be mad, literally mad . . .
