Thus, deep into the 20th century, Arab leaders themselves failed to recognize the right to self-determination of a distinct Palestinian Arab people. For example, as principal Arab leader at the 1919-1920 Paris Peace Conference, Prince Feisal specifically accepted the plan to create Palestine as "a national home for the Jewish people" and his father, the Hashemite king of the Hejaz (later part of Saudi Arabia) was party to the 1920 Sevres Treaty that explicitly stipulated that the newly-created Palestine would be "a national home for the Jewish people."
And, decades later, the governments of Jordan and Egypt showed how little regard they had for the self-determination of a distinct Palestinian Arab people; first, by rejecting the 1947 UN plan to partition Palestine into two new independent states, the one Jewish and the other Arab; and second, by themselves failing to create a new Palestinian Arab state, between 1949 and 1967, when Egypt held the Gaza Strip and Jordan administered east Jerusalem and the West Bank.
Such analysis does not deny the current existence of a distinct Palestinian Arab people; nor does it claim that such a Palestinian Arab people is without rights. Rather, the conclusion is that there are rights on all sides, and that there should be a peaceful process that respectfully reconciles the rights of the Palestinian Arab people with the prior rights of the Jewish people.

More Inconvenient Truth
So resident liar and misleader Joe Cannon quoted me out of context this past week (I expect nothing less from someone who runs fast and loose from facts to push his liberalized fascist agenda). Like all thoughtless dinkles he didn't think twice about linking to my blog where his readers were able to read my post in context and see that their hero is completely full of crap (that is if they are still in possession of the capacity to think critically after constant exposure to his bullshit...no doubt his little sycophantic spy pals from other blogs are running to tell him I wrote this right now so he can quote me out of context again and drive up my traffic...these are the same people who annoyed the crap out of their peers and teachers when they were kids with their incessant and annoying tattle tailing).
People like Joe Cannon push the bullshit line that Jews invaded Palestinian lands, has said that Jews could have a state in Canada, and other head up the ass comments that deny the aboriginal history of the Jewish people in the land west of the Jordan River. This is of course a means to delegitimize Israeli rights to self defense and self determination in a national homeland to which there has been a constant tie for thousands of years.
For those of you who came here from his blog of screed I am going to give you a jumping off point to begin your own research into the legitimate existence of a modern national home in Israel. It is an article written by Allen Hertz regarding the aboriginal history and rights of the Jewish people in the land west of the Jordan.
Here are the final three paragraphs of the Hertz article.
For those of you that came from Cannonfire, my suggestion is to start researching these facts, rather than accept Cannon's bullshit because it may be in line with your liberal prejudices and bias.
There has been a lot of talk lately about bloggers, their readers, and what obligations writers have to those readers. As a writer I have done my best to draw a clear line between what is my opinion and what is fact (and what is completely made up) in the hopes that my readers do not mistake the two (or three). Writers like Cannon, and others, make little or no attempt to do so because, like Tushy Obama, they know that the best way to get people to subscribe to their opinion is to call it "truth."
So, if you are interested in deciphering fact from dogma and prejudice, find the transcripts from the Paris Peace Conference. Look at the historical record regarding the Egyptian and Jordanian occupations of Gaza and the West Bank and their inaction in creating a national home for Palestinians. Start finding the facts for yourselves and stop taking the word of bloggers, including myself, as truth.
Political bloggers should be giving the keys to readers for finding facts (when they aren't bagging on the asshats running our planet off a fucking cliff). Readers should be responsible for doing their own digging and seeing beyond the surface. Reading a blog does not expand your knowledge if you don't look below the surface. It's not my job to make everyone happy, or get everyone to agree with me. I'm just a writer with a set of keys. Those keys open doors. It's up to the reader to take them, open the doors, and walk through them.
I have given you keys to examen the issue of the legal and historical legitimacy of the existence of a Jewish national home west of the Jordan River. Go to the primary documents and see the inconvenient truth for yourselves.

Another source of information for the validity of the State of Israel is the archaelogical data proving continuous inhabitation of Israel by the Jews for thousands of years.
Who's Joe Cannon?
Agreed, there is overwhelming archeological evidence.
Cannon writes a blog called Cannonfire. If you go there do a search with the word Israel and see textbook ignorance.
Thanks for staying on this. I used to like Cannon until I learned he was ignorant about Israel, which in my eyes demonstrated a lack of the ability to be both truthful and a critical thinker. I haven't been back there since, but if he is driving traffic to you I am glad of that. The law of unintended consequence may render him less in the eyes of the readers who are still at his site.
Shtuey darlin,
I love ya and I love your writing style and use of metaphhors and slammin fuck yas but I dont actually "support you " I support the truth when it is told ..
so there neener neener
