ISRAEL - Arabs Lost the War

Question: Why should Palestinians who have lived in Jerusalem for hundreds of years be evicted from their homes so that Jews from Brooklyn can live in them?

Answer: After World War II, millions of German Citizens were removed from German lands that were lost to expand Russia and Poland. The land of Prussia ceased to exist, their old Prussian capital Königsberg renamed by Russia to Kaliningrad.

The German city of Strasbourg was retaken by France. It did not matter that Strasbourg was for centuries a German city.

Furthermore, millions of ethnic German speaking people who were citizens of various Eastern European countries and who had ancestors living in those lands for nearly two thousand years were expelled. It did not matter that they were NEVER citizens of Germany and had nothing to do with Germany’s wars of aggression, they were ethnically cleansed from across Eastern Europe. Guilt by ethnic association.

Millions of Hindus and Muslims lost their homes with the creation of Pakistan and India.

Hundreds of thousands of Jews who were citizens of Arab countries and who were NEVER associated with Israel were expelled from those Arab countries after the creation of Israel. Guilt by religious associations.

Poland and Russia will never return land to Germany. That’s just the reality. I know ethnic Prussian who point out how they are forgotten by history.

Throughout the world and history the same stories are told and the same realities set in.

The US will never allow the creation of an independent Native American [state] from their American lands. That’s just the reality.

The US will never return the Southwest to Mexico either. That’s just the reality.

Commentary: The above excerpt from an extended article found on Quora.com by Elia Smith, exposes cold, hard facts. Losing a war means losing your home. It cannot be said more simply.

This writer’s family has an over 500-year history in East Prussia. If he were to create a PLO (Prussia Liberation Organization) to reclaim German territory in Poland and Lithuania, he would be deservedly laughed to scorn. Not so where Arab Palestinians are concerned.

Here we must also highlight that the definition “Palestinian” was accepted by Jewish people as their nationality during the British Mandate—not so by Arabs. In most cases, their passport simply read “Arab” under nationality.

But the issue with the Jewish State is much more. The spiritual aspect must be highlighted; namely, antisemitism. There are multiple different levels, but everything in the end and in the beginning centers around God’s chosen people: the Jews. Subsequently, the powers of darkness, under the leadership of the god of this world, vehemently oppose any and all fulfillment of Bible prophecy. It’s an issue of God’s chosen Holy Land.

Ezekiel proclaims: “Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel” (Ezekiel 44:9). Here the distinction is clearly made between the children of Israel and the stranger.

When it comes to the future, the prophet Joel states: “So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more” (Joel 3:17).

We can bluntly declare: The conflict is about territory. We repeat that Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt are still occupying Israeli territory. That will have to change.
