Making a Country of Terrorists: A Palestine

 Nadene Goldfoot                                      

     European Parliament  calls for recognition of State of Palestine

Hamas is a terrorist organization.  Hamas is officially designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) by the United States government under U.S. law. 

They are terrorists wanting their own state to work terrorism from.  I know that European countries think that statehood would be the answer to causing them to stop being terrorists, but they haven't stopped since the 1920's when instigated by Husseini, Sherif of Jerusalem.  

It's their custom now, going on for about the 4th generation.  They don't know why they hate Jews and want to kill them, they just do. Whatever bad happens, even weather, is blamed on Israel just like the Syrians have said about Jews.  

 They need all the help that comes with becoming a state;  all the rights and freedoms so they can do their terrorism.  

USA have officially said that Hamas is a terrorist organization. 

The U.S. Department of State first designated Hamas as an FTO on October 8, 1997, pursuant to section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. This designation carries several legal consequences: 

• It is unlawful for any person in the U.S. or subject to U.S. jurisdiction to knowingly provide "material support or resources" to Hamas.
• Members and representatives of Hamas are inadmissible to, and in certain circumstances removable from, the United States.
• U.S. financial institutions are generally required to block all transactions involving assets of the organization. 

Additionally, the U.S. has targeted Hamas with other measures, including designating it as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) organization since October 2001, which further empowers the government to freeze assets and impose sanctions on individuals and entities associated with the group. 

10 Other countries join us in recognizing Hamas as terrorists:

A number of countries and international bodies officially recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization, either in its entirety or its military wing. 

However, the UK, Canada, Australia now recognize aPalestine, that is Hamas territory. (I met many Jews living in Israel fromthese countries.  We banded together naturally since we all spoke English.

 That's because the land was 

given to the PA and a following vote went to Hamas as their

government.  What is this Palestine that the countries are

recognizing?  It'll be run by Hamas!  

Countries and entities that designate Hamas as a terrorist organization-since September 2025 include:

• United States (since 1997)
• European Union (since 2003 for the entire organization) Out of the EU, On September 22, 2025, France, along with other EU members like Luxembourg and Malta, officially recognized Palestine. These individual recognitions happened around the same time as a European Parliament resolution in early September called for member states to work towards a two-state solution, which includes recognition. Would any of them want terrorists next door to them?  
• United Kingdom (entire organization proscribed since 2021)
• Canada (since 2001)
• Japan
• Australia (entire organization proscribed since 2022)
• Israel
• New Zealand
• Paraguay
• North Macedonia
• Albania

The whole world will soon be for a Palestinian State for Terrorists,

Yes, that is who Hamas is and who will be taking over Palestine

being they are the ones calling for it.  Note:  There never has 

been a Palestine state.  It's the Romans who named it-getting

even with the Jewish General Bar Kokhba who re-took it in 132 

and held it till 135 CE, embarrassing the strongest army in the 

world, Rome!  

Hamas's charter since 1988 has been to destroy Israel.  

The founding charter of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in 1988 was an Islamist document that defined all of historic Palestine as an Islamic waqf (religious endowment) that could not be given up. Key tenets included: 

• The goal to annihilate Israel and replace it with an Islamic Palestinian state across all of historic Palestine.
• Explicitly antisemitic language, including a quote attributed to the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al-Banna: "Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it".
• A belief that there is "no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad" (holy struggle).
• Assertions that Jews were behind many world revolutions and controlled global media and finance. 

Marjorie Taylor Greene was just on THE VIEW and voiced her opinion that they all could like Jews in the US, but still not agree with Israel since she's against all wars and expects Israelis not to fight, as I have translated her meaning. There was a  lot of clapping  from the audience; which seems to be most American's feelings, expect there is a tremendous amount of anti-Semitism attached to countries of this opinion.  It's a carry-over none want to admit to.  Marjorie went on saying how terrible Israel was starving the poor people, etc, not accepting the fact that Hamas has caused all this.  They are clever and determined to throw mud on Israel since they were once admired (by a short time-but it was happening, especially after the 1967 Six Day War).  So they have managed to do that.  People should know that what they are accused of could not be true, as it just doesn't happen in our culture, mores, religion to be like that, do do these things, but to them, it is nothing to use their own people to be victorious.  

Well, world, Israel is not about to allow another Holocaust to happen.

Lesson #1:  Don't believe all the hatred thrown about Israel.  We haven't needed blood in our matzos!  You've all believed, or rather your ancestors believed all the ugly things Jews were accused of.  

Jews created Israel since Judaism was about wiped out!  At the time, Jews had to sneak into Palestine when the Ottoman Empire had it and had voted with the Axis in the war, so lost it to  Britain, as it turned out who had a 30 year mandate over it.  

Jews are creative and have shared valuable things and ideas with the world.  They even sent help to earthquake hit counties.  Some are appreciative.  Marjorie likes Peace.  Doesn't she realize that that is what Israel wants the most out of life?  Peace?  All our 613 laws lend themselves to PEACE between people. Take the Golden Rule;  Don't do to others that which you don't want done to you !    

Do you realize that THE RETURN has occurred?  JEWS from around the world have returned to the land of Israel, and this time are determined to keep it.  Look how the world treats JEWS IN THEIR COUNTRIES!  ANTI-SEMITISM !!!

Update:1:55pm- Trump is the first president I can remember coming to the aid of Israel. Israel has been constantly attacked by terrorists, and has to fight many times.  This is the first time she feels her right to exist is on the line since her birth May 14, 1948.  77 years of existence has to be defended, Marjorie. Thank you, USA.     

  

Why Arabs of Ottoman Empire Turned To Palestine To Make A Living

 Nadene Goldfoot                                           

                                East Jerusalem:  No “Palestinian Arab people” existed at the start of 1920, but, by December, it took shape in a form recognizably similar to today’s.

Until the late nineteenth century, residents living in the region between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean identified themselves primarily in terms of religion: Muslims felt far stronger bonds with remote co-religionists than with nearby Christians and Jews. Living in that area did not imply any sense of common political purpose.

• Economic opportunity: 

  The establishment of new settlements and development by Jewish immigrants created new jobs in agriculture, construction, and other sectors. Arabs were drawn to these opportunities, which offered a higher standard of living compared to their previous circumstances. Especially from Syria, many Arabs entered Palestine seeking jobs in building in the 1880's.   
• Improved living conditions: 

  The improvements made to health care, sanitation, and public health by Jewish developers led to a significant decrease in infant mortality rates and increased life expectancy for all residents in the region. 

   

During the first Aliyah of Jews leaving Eastern Europe and Russia for Palestine in 1881, there was trouble in the Ottoman Empire causing some of the Arabs to also look at Palestine for jobs. They may have seen the Jews' interest in this area.  Arabs from surrounding countries followed Jews to Palestine and got jobs building.  These were not the only Jews living in Palestine, for there were others who had been living there who had remained since 70 CE when the Romans had occupied and destroyed Jerusalem.  Romans kept them unable to have any power, having overtaken the country for themselves.  

Economic distress and unemployment in Ottoman Syria around 1880 were caused by a combination of a global financial crisis, imperial debt, shifts in the local economy due to European imports, and devastating agricultural issues. These factors disrupted traditional industries, drove up the cost of living, and put many artisans and farmers out of work. 

• Ottoman default: In 1875, the Ottoman state defaulted on its massive international debt, which ballooned from loans taken out during the mid-19th century. This economic crisis forced the empire to increase taxation on its provinces, including Syria, at a time when many residents could not afford it.
• European debt control: As a result of the default, the European-controlled Ottoman Public Debt Administration was established to ensure European creditors received a return on their investments. This further diminished Ottoman fiscal control and economic sovereignty.
• "Great Depression" of the 19th century: The Ottoman economy faced an unfavorable global economic climate during the "Great Depression" of 1873–1896. This period saw a slowdown in foreign trade and a decline in the terms of trade for the Ottoman Empire, compounding its financial problems. 
• There were some Arabs in Palestine but they were only too happy to selltheir land to Jews who were willing to pay their high prices.  Then they left for the big cities.  The Jews paid because to them it was holy land.
• The land was left in terrible condition, all swamps and mosquitoes or sand.  The Jews, who had never before been allowed to own land in Europe or anywhere, for that matter, came well prepared with knowledge from books.  They learned quickly.  
• Palestine was under Ottoman control from 1516 to 1917. This period of control ended when British forces occupied the region in 1917 during World War I, leading to the end of Ottoman rule in 1918 and the establishment of a British Mandate for Palestine in 1923.                                         
• Jewish aliyah (immigration) to Palestine primarily came from Europe, with significant numbers also arriving from Yemen and other countries, especially during the periods of the First and Fifth Aliyahs. Immigration waves originated from regions like Eastern Europe, driven by antisemitism and persecution, and later from Arab nations and Ethiopia after the establishment of the State of Israel. 

  

                           Beginning of the first Aliyah                                               
  • First Aliyah (1881–1903): Primarily from Eastern Europe (especially Russia) and Yemen. 
  • Second Aliyah (1904–1914): Almost exclusively from Russia, fleeing pogroms. 
  • Third Aliyah (1919–1923): Mostly from Russia and other Eastern European countries after World War I. 
  • Fourth Aliyah (1924–1929): Primarily from Poland and Hungary, representing a shift towards middle-class shopkeepers and artisans.                                
    
  • Fifth Aliyah (1929–1939): Fueled by the rise of Nazism, this saw a large influx of European Jews, especially from Germany and other Nazi-controlled areas. 
  • Aliyah Bet (1939–1948): An illegal immigration effort mainly of European Jews escaping Nazi persecution and Holocaust survivors. 
  • Post-1948: Major waves came from Arab nations and Ethiopia. 
  • Post-Soviet Union collapse (1991 onward): A massive wave of immigration from the former Soviet Union.

  Read:  THE SETTLERS, By Meyer Levin.  Historic Fiction/truth.  from 
• review:  Now seemed a good time, better late than never, to learn about Israel and Palestine and to try to understand why they can never seem to find peace.  I chose The Settlers.   It is very well written, informative and moving. It begins at the turn of the century and follows a Russian-Jewish family escaping the increasingly dangerous situation developing there. Levin paints a very clear picture of their dreams, goals, strengths and weaknesses. Life was not easy there either but to them it was home. During WWI they fought to help Jews from all over.  I feel that  you will   better understand some of the problems we see on TV every day. 

  I haven't read the Haj but it will be my next to read, as I enjoyed Uris' EXODUS.

Judea-Samaria's History Held in Jeopardy Today

Nadene Goldfoot     
                                                        1205-1050 BCE
                                               from the Book of Joshua                     

Judah had a population of 76,500
     Dan had 64,400
                             Issachar had 64,309 (Mt Tabor to Jordan)
                         Zebulun had 60,500 (Valley of Jezreel)
   Asher had 53,400
Manasseh had 52,700
Benjamin had 45,600
Naphtali had 45,400
Reuben had 43,730
    Gad had 40,500
                 Ephraim had 32,500 (hill country)
Simeon had 22,200

At the end of the Exodus with Moses in 1271 BCE, Joshua helped the 600,000+ population of 12 tribes to settle in the land they had walked and rode  for 40 years to settle in;  Canaan.  This was land they had left during a terrible famine for Egypt.   They were given explicit directions and instructions from G-d about this according to our Torah of who would settle where.  
                                                         

The tribe of Judah, the largest and the one we Jews are from, was given the southern portion of land.  Each tribe had their name for their section.  All 12 tribes together created Israel.  Hebron is in Judah, 18 miles south of Jerusalem.
Abraham had bought the land holding the Cave of Machpelah so he could have a place to bury his wife/niece, Sarah.  Today a mosque stands on the site and the Arabs have taken over the city. 
It looks like Jerusalem was actually in Benjamin which was the northern tip of Judah.   
                                                           

When King Solomon died in 920 BCE, a Civil War ensued between the North and the South, and the Temple, which was in Judah, was the most important to the people of Judah.  We were soon to see that the tribe of Judah was the final tribe left after Assyrians  had their way with Israel.  Israel lasted for 351 years before leaving Judah.  

Then the Babylonians took Judeans away forcefully to Babylonia where they lived in 597 BCE and again in 586 BCE, large numbers were deported.  This was 323 years later from the death of Solomon.  Judeans had lived in their own land of Judah for 685 years.  This is as if Americans from 1776 could continue on their land until the year 2461.  

 Luckily, most returned when King Darius allowed them with the admonishment of telling them to rebuild their temple, and they did!  Not all returned, however after this interlude of time.  There's always those who couldn't or wouldn't return and settled into the ways of Babylonians gladly.  
They had only been gone either 48 to 59 years, about 2 generations from the kidnapping.  

Romans came along and occupied Judah in 63 BCE  , then they burned Jerusalem and the Temple down in 70 CE, killing and taking people as slaves for markets to be slaughtered in their circuses with lions, or fodder for the army, etc.  The Romans took the land and gold from the Temple and changed the name to Judea.  Jews had lived in Judah up till this for the past 1,341 years. Jews almost got it back permanently but it lasted only for 4 years when General Bar Kokhba fought for Jerusalem's return in 132-135, with Romans winning.  They then renamed it as Palaestina after the worst enemy Israel and Judah had had, the Philistines.  Romans had been rebuilding Jerusalem as a Roman Colony and they had prohibited the act of circumcision on Jews.  This was 62 years after the burning of Jerusalem.  

Judea.  The Roman Stamp.  Again, not all Jews were dragged away or even escaped.  Some remained in hiding in their land that was full of hiding places.  They stayed until this very day.  True children of Judah.  Oh, but the geneticists would love to test them!  

We must remember that Abram-Abraham, born in the 2nd millennium BCE or about 1948 BCE,  had entered Canaan from the East around the Euphrates River area.  He had come with his father, Terah,  in a group of people.  His birthplace had been the city of Ur of the Chaldees and when they came they put up their tents in a land already populated by Canaanites and Philistines.  Ur is actually an ancient Babylonian city.  The city was highly civilized in Abram's time and showed archaeologists evidence of an extensive flood at an earlier date.  So these people were really roughing it in their trek to come across the land of Canaan and put up tents.  One wonders what forced them out of Ur?  Abram visited Egypt and then returned to live in Hebron.  Abraham's Y haplogroup (male line) is J1) since Moses and his brother Aaron through Aaron carry this Cohen haplogroup.  It's also shared with many Arabs, proving our history of being cousins.    

Jews who came again in a needed time of return to Eretz came from Eastern Europe and Russia via the Sea and they built Tel Aviv in 1909. Tel Aviv, the Hill of Spring, was the title of the Hebrew translation of Herzl's novel, Altneuland.  They were able to live in places according to the rules of the Ottoman Empire in the 1880s and onward.  That's why they didn't get to settle back into Judea and Samaria easily.  

Judea and Samaria.  What is Samaria?  Where is Samaria?  

Samaria was the capital of the northern kingdom of Israel after Solomon's death when they had lost the use of Jerusalem as their capital.  It was founded in about 880 BCE by the then king Omri on a hill bought from Shemer as told in detail in Kings 16:24.  The site was 7 miles NW of Shechem (today's Nablus) and was on an isolated elevation dominating a wide countryside.  The city was on 25 acres.   It fell in  721 BCE to Sargon II of Assyria who resettled it with Cutheans who intermingled with the remnants of the former Israelite population.  "The Cuthites were a people living in Samaria around 500 BCE, and were to blame for the postponing of the 2nd temple, in the reign of Cyrus the Great. They did this after the Jewish people returned from Babylonian exile, and first agreed to help them, but after the Jews refused, they lied to king Cyrus who postponed the building process."

The name, Samaria, also includes  the entire northern region of the central highlands of Palestine.  
                                                           

We come to the end of World War I when the Allies promise Jews a Jewish Homeland out of the area known as Palestine/first known as Palestinian Syria.  Palestine was only a piece of land, not a country belonging to anyone except at that moment, the Ottoman Empire who also just owned it for collecting taxes.  It was part of their empire, named by the Romans in their anger. Their intention was to minimize the Jewish association with the area.   The Allies won over the Axis which included the Ottoman Empire and gave a 30 year mandate to Britain to keep order.  Within a short time, this was sliced apart with a huge chunk given away by Britain to a prince of Saudi Arabia who created Trans-Jordan, that became Jordan.  Britain happens to be the Muslim country's greatest trader.  Whether it's that or oil, Britain was not about to be their enemy.  They had fought against the German invaders of gaining the Middle East even though the Ottoman Empire was on Germany's side.

Jordan's land given them by Britain was annexed by them in 1950. This annexation was considered illegal and was recognized only by Britain, Iraq and Pakistan.

Israel was in  a war started by its Muslim neighbors in 1967 which Israel won, so they occupied Judea and Samaria, called the West Bank as it was on the West side of the Jordan River, a border-line.  Jordan called it the "West Bank" in order to minimize the Jewish memories of ownership.  
                                                          

Israel's piece is the pale yellow color which includes parts
of Jerusalem.  How terrible to cut a city in parts east and west.
Today it is a whole city as it should be.  Arabs were not  moved.
Notice that Israel got the Negev Desert.  Boy!  

"The Oslo Accords, signed between the Palestine Liberation Organization and Israel, created administrative districts with varying levels of Palestinian autonomy within each area. Area C, in which Israel maintained complete civil and security control, accounts for over 60% of the territory of the West Bank.

Abbas of the PA has said that their Palestine will have absolutely no Jews in it.  Judea and Samaria has Jews now living there.  They will be kicked out.  There are 3 areas making up the land according to the Oslo agreements;  A, B, and C.  This would all be discounted.  As a state, they would be receiving weapons.  Gaza does, but illegally so.  So the world is expecting Israel to be attacked not only from Gaza but right next door-even from Jerusalem's east, to be attacked.  

                                                         

Jerusalem, center of 3 religions; Judaism, Christianity and Islam
with Jordan given rights on Temple Mount
Who suffers?  Jewish worshippers who aren't allowed near Muslim sites-
not even allowed to be seen moving lips.
Perhaps they can during Coronavirus days wearing masks? 

The West Bank, including East Jerusalem, has a land area of 5,640 km² plus a water area of 220 km², consisting of the northwest quarter of the Dead Sea.  As of July 2017 it has an estimated population of 2,747,943 Palestinians, and approximately 391,000 Israeli settlers, and approximately another 201,200 Israeli settlers in East Jerusalem. The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this."  Professor Kontorovich defends Israel's interpretation as he is an inter-
national law expert.  

" The International Court of Justice advisory ruling (2004) concluded that events that came after the 1967 occupation of the West Bank by Israel, including the Jerusalem Law, Israel's peace treaty with Jordan and the Oslo Accords, did not change the status of the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) as occupied territory with Israel as the occupying power."  Logic makes this impossible, but one finds such courts always siding 

against the Jewish State.  

UPdate-5/21/20 From Kontorovich: " Today, the prevalent approach is that even though the land did not belong to Jordan, it was “Jordanian enough,” and therefore the laws of occupation and the Geneva Convention apply to it. "

"This is nonsense, because even if we assumed this was correct, the Geneva Convention no longer applies when there is a peace treaty, and there has been a peace treaty with Jordan since 1994. It has to be either one or the other: Either it belonged to Israel all the time and Israel liberated its own territory in 1967, and you can’t occupy your own territory. Alternatively, it was “Jordanian enough” in 1967 for the laws of occupation to apply. In that case, the peace treaty with Jordan nullified the Geneva Convention. The Oslo Accords even took it a step further and granted local self-government." 

Right now Israel has on their table, laying there since the end of the 1967 War 

which they won, the annexation of Judea-Samaria.  Jordan is in an uproar.  Iran

is threatening destruction of Israel.  The decision may come soon.  

What is happening?

"On 16 September 2019, in an interview with Israeli Army Radio, Netanyahu said "I intend to extend sovereignty on all the settlements and the (settlement) blocs," including "sites that have security importance or are important to Israel’s heritage," including the settlements in Hebron.

The application of Israeli law in the West Bank settlements has been described by commentators as "creeping annexation."

Update 5/20/20: To annex or not, that is the $64 question with so many American Jews against it.  Wouldn't it be fair to say that only Netanyahu's government has the obligation to decide such a decision?  We can put forth our opinion, but in the end, it is their right to decide.  I remember that Truman wanted to recognize Israel and all his men advised against it, but he did it anyway.  It was the best decision for the Jews of Palestine, even the ones living in the United States, and not bad at all for the USA.  Israel's big brother has benefited.  This annexation of Judea and Samaria is looked upon by the Israeli government as them being 53 years in arrears for the act.  It should have been done at the end of 1967's War.  They've given the Arabs every chance to be peaceful people, but it hasn't happened.  It hasn't yet.  

Update: 5/20/20:  "During the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel captured East Jerusalem, a part of the West Bank, from Jordan. It has remained occupied until the present day. On June 27, 1967, Israel unilaterally extended its law and jurisdiction to East Jerusalem and some of the surrounding area, incorporating about 70 square kilometers of territory into the Jerusalem Municipality. Although at the time Israel informed the United Nations that its measures constituted administrative and municipal integration rather than annexation, later rulings by the Israeli Supreme Court indicated that East Jerusalem had become part of Israel. In 1980, Israel passed the Jerusalem Law as part of its Basic Law, which declared Jerusalem the "complete and united" capital of Israel. In other words, Israel purported to annex East Jerusalem. The annexation was declared null and void by UNSC Resolutions 252, 267, 271, 298, 465, 476 and 478.

Israel and the territories Israel occupied in the Six-Day War.

Jewish neighborhoods have since been built in East Jerusalem, and Israeli Jews have since also settled in Arab neighborhoods there, though some Jews may have returned from their 1948 expulsion after the Battle for Jerusalem. Only Costa Rica recognized Israel's annexation of East Jerusalem, and those countries who maintained embassies in Israel did not move them to Jerusalem. The United States Congress has passed the Jerusalem Embassy Act, which recognizes Jerusalem as the united capital of Israel and requires the relocation of the U.S. embassy there, but the bill has been waived by presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama on national security grounds. President Trump has begun the controversial process of moving the United States embassy to Jerusalem, but has not recognized the annexation of East Jerusalem."

"Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas ends security agreement with Israel and US"                           

Rockets shot from Gaza

    I haven't seen any security from Gaza at all which is in cahoots with Abbas.  Gaza is the PA's strongarm.  They have constantly been shooting mortars, missiles and rockets at Israel.  

"Declaration follows the creation of a new Israeli government which is officially contemplating annexation of some areas of the West Bank."  

Israel is made up of over 20% of Arabs who have equal rights with Jewish Israeli citizens.  

Gaza is ruled over by Arabs for their Arabs.  They swore to not have peace at the Khartoum Conference after 1967's loss in the war.  Israel had first cleared all their own Jewish citizens out of Gaza in order to give them more room, which was very hard on their citizens for sure!  They had to leave businesses that the Gazans destroyed.  
                                             

Being nice only got Israel snipers and bombers, people fighting with fire in kites, Tunneling to kidnap Jews better, every sort of hateful act.  And the world continues to harp on having a Palestinian State on Judah's remains, a sliver of land that the Jews finally held in their hands of the pie they were promised.  80% of their land had first gone to Jordan!  They were left with 20% now being harped up as sliced to make Palestine-leaving what?  10% of the original piece?
