Arab-Israeli Conflict May Ignite WWIII

Dear Editor:

The Arab-Israeli conflict may be the precursor to WWIII.

Based on international law, Israelis have the right to live anywhere in the British Mandate for Palestine, their ancestral homeland.

Muslims see the conflict as a religious war. Non-Muslims are Dhimmi. They are to be dominated and humiliated. The Arab term for blacks is Abeed, meaning slave.

The first Arab-Jewish conflict occurred in Medina. In 622, the Prophet Mohammed found shelter among the Quraysh Jews after being rejected in Mecca. The Jews operated camel caravans and were prosperous. They signed the Constitution of Medina, ensuring co-operation and laying the foundation for a Muslim community.

However, in 629, the Prophet abrogated his agreement, beheaded the Jewish men and boys and took the women captive.

The principal of lying to the Infidel to gain an advantage is called Taqiyya and is enshrined in the Koran.

The Arabs spread out of Arabia, conquering and colonizing much of the known world, from Asia through southern Euro and North Africa. They believe any land, once Muslim, is Muslim forever.

In World War One the allies defeated Germany and the Ottoman Empire. The San Remo Accords established mandates for Palestine, Transjordan, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq.

The 1920s saw the founding of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and the rise of Nazism in Europe. The Brotherhood’s aim is to spread the Caliphate world-wide.

The leader of the mandates’ Arabs was Nazi war criminal Haj Amin al-Husseini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. He instigated pogroms against Middle East Jews from the 1920s. In Germany during WWII, he formed the Bosnian Muslim 13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar.

Following the defeat of Germany and its Arab partners in World War Two, the United Nations suggested splitting the British mandate, promised the Jews by the League of Nations and Article 80 of the UN Charter, into Arab and Jewish states. The Jews agreed. The Arabs did not and launched the Nakba to ‘drive the Jews into the sea’.

Before 1964, only Jews were called Palestinians. In 1964, the Soviet KGB created the Palestine Liberation Army to thwart America influence. They called Israel, ‘Palestine’ and non-Jews, ‘Palestinians’. Terrorism was their tool to focus attention on the ‘Palestine’ narrative.

Seventy-five years after the establishment of the state, Islamo-fascists still have not accepted Israel as a permanent part of the Middle East.

Israel is the 10th most powerful country in the world and the 5th happiest. It is a liberal democracy with robust political parties. Its per-capita GDP exceeds that of Canada, New Zealand, Australia or the UK. Its hospitals have Jewish and Arab staffs and patients.

It’s time for Islamists and the useful idiots who support them, to face reality and to solve the horrible refugee problem created by corrupt Arabs and the United Nations.

Ideas on Presidential Debates

Dear Editor:

Why host a series of debates on Sunday night alternating between both Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates after Labor Day up to the last Sunday prior to Election Day? Each debate should deal with a specific topic, questions and answers from the candidates. They should be allowed to comment on each other’s responses. Issues to be covered under each debate could be general domestic, general foreign affairs, economy and inflation, border security, urban crime and dealing with solving our long term national debt. Any candidate who refuses to show up, should have an empty chair representing them on the dais.

Unfair Sanctions on Israeli Army Unit

Dear Editor:

I was outraged to read, in your April 20 issue, that the Biden administration has imposed sanctions on an Israeli army unit consisting of Orthodox Jews. Meanwhile, numerous members of the Palestinian police and security forces are actually involved in acts of terrorism, yet Biden has never sanctioned them. In fact, he won’t even criticize them. And he calls himself a friend of Israel?

John Fetterman Speaks Up for the Hostages

Dear Editor:

Thank you, Senator John Fetterman, for promising to keep speaking out publicly about the hostages in Gaza (article in your April 20 edition). I notice Sen. Chuck “Shomer” never speaks about them. And, of course, neither do groups like J Street or even our own State Department. Could you imagine if Israelis were holding a bunch of Gazans hostage? All these so-called humanitarians would be screaming day and night. But when Jews are held hostage, well, I guess that gets in the way of their particular political agenda. What a tragedy!

Netanyahu Rising in Popularity

Dear Editor:

Senator Charles Schumer must be horrified by the news (as reported in your April 20 edition) that the latest polls show Prime Minister Netanyahu continuing to rise in popularity among the Israeli public. Schumer’s recent demand that Netanyahu resign was a gross violation of Israel’s internal affairs and disregard for the views of Israeli voters. The new polls are another reminder of how un-democratic this so-called Democratic senator really is.

The Silence of Jewish Faculty Members

Dear Editor:

So the dean of students at Northwestern University, Mona Dugo attended an anti-Israel protest outside the campus Hillel building last week. She claimed she was doing it “to protect the right to free speech” (according to your April 20 article). Well, I for one don’t believe her. Why? Because if white supremacists were demonstrating outside a campus building where African-American students were meeting, do you think Dugo would be out there, marching with them? Not a chance.

So why are the Jewish faculty members at Northwestern silent? Why aren’t they raising their voices to protest what their dean is doing? Dugo ought to be fired, and the Jewish professors at Northwestern should have the courage to say so.

Sincerely,
Nancy Candenstein
