A Japanese View of the Palestinians
by Yashiko Sagamori (pen name)
If you are so sure that "Palestine, the country,
goes back through most of recorded history", I expect you to be able to
answer a few basic questions about that country of Palestine:
When was it founded and by whom?
What were its borders?
What was its capital?
What were its major cities?
What constituted the basis of its economy?
What was its form of government?
Can you name at least one Palestinian leader before
Arafat?
Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose
existence, at that time or now, leaves no room for interpretation?
What was the language of the country of Palestine?
What was the prevalent religion of the country
of Palestine?
What was the name of its currency? Choose any
date in history and tell what was the approximate exchange rate of the
Palestinian monetary unit against the US dollar, German mark, GB pound,
Japanese yen, or Chinese yuan on that date.
And, finally, since there is no such country today,
what caused its demise and when did it occur?
You are lamenting the "low sinking" of a "once
proud" nation. Please tell me, when exactly was that "nation" proud and
what was it so proud of?
And here is the least sarcastic question of all:
If the people you mistakenly call "Palestinians" are anything but generic
Arabs collected from all over -- or thrown out of -- the Arab world, if
they really have a genuine ethnic identity that gives them right for self-determination,
why did they never try to become independent until Arabs suffered their
devastating defeat in the Six Day War?
I hope you avoid the temptation to trace the modern
day "Palestinians" to the Biblical Philistines: substituting etymology
for history won't work here.
The truth should be obvious to everyone who wants
to know it. Arab countries have never abandoned the dream of destroying
Israel; they still cherish it today. Having time and again failed to achieve
their evil goal with military means, they decided to fight Israel by proxy.
For that purpose, they created a terrorist organization, cynically called
it "the Palestinian people" and installed it in Gaza, Judea, and Samaria.
How else can you explain the refusal by Jordan and Egypt to unconditionally
accept back the "West Bank" and Gaza, respectively?
The fact is, Arabs populating Gaza, Judea, and
Samaria have much less claim to nationhood than that Indian tribe that
successfully emerged in Connecticut with the purpose of starting a tax-exempt
casino: at least that tribe had a constructive goal that motivated them.
The so called "Palestinians" have only one motivation: the destruction
of Israel, and in my book that is not sufficient to consider them
a nation" -- or anything else except what they really are: a terrorist
organization that will one day be dismantled.
In fact, there is only one way to achieve peace
in the Middle East. Arab countries must acknowledge and accept their defeat
in their war against Israel and, as the losing side should, pay Israel
reparations for the more than 50 years of devastation they have visited
on it. The most appropriate form of such reparations would be the removal
of their terrorist organization from the land of Israel and accepting Israel's
ancient sovereignty over Gaza, Judea, and Samaria.
That will mark the end of the Palestinian people.
What are you saying again was its beginning?
