Hello Al Jazeera Editors…
I came across your recent report below regarding back and forth violence and intimidation which has been occurring between Jews and Arabs in Judaea and Samaria—aka, “occupied West Bank,” only since the 20th century C. E., after having been known as the former designation for over three millennia.
Question: Was the Judaean teacher, Yehoshua/Jesus in the Christian New Testament, born in Bethlehem of the “occupied West Bank,” or in Bethlehem of Judaea, the same town King David of Judah and Israel was born in a thousand years earlier?
See here for what the Gospels say…

It’s that same Judaea where the Prophet Samuel anointed David king near Hebron, where the Hebrew Patriarch, Abraham, purchased a burial site in Hebron a thousand years before, near Jerusalem where David’s son, King Solomon built the 1st Temple, not that far from Mod’in where the Judaen army of the Maccabees (“hammers”) rose in revolt against pagan Greeks and Syrians, etc., etc., etc..
Jewish history was/is rooted in these lands.
Arabs are the newcomers. See here, and be sure to include the two internal links in your review…
Please note, àn ancestral people does not illegally occupy their own well corroborated ancestral homeland. But more on this later…
Such violence is tragic, regardless of who actually instigated the problem in the first place. And if a relatively very few Jews have stooped to what Arabs frequently have done to Jews, they need to be held accountable…
This all needs, however, to be placed into greater perspective.
The volumes of terror attacks which have deliberately butchered thousands of Jews is incomparable to what is happening in the contested areas today.
Since 1990, about 200 Arabs reportedly have been killed by Jewish terrorists.
Contrast this with thousands upon thousands of Jews who’ve been slaughtered during the same time period.
Don’t include Arabs killed inadvertently due to the cowards they elect committing atrocities and then running back to hide behind their own women and children, a double war crime, by the Geneva Conventions on War, by the way.
If the Israeli government is reluctant to fully condemn the perpetrators, perhaps it’s because there truly is another side to the story deliberately being withheld by àn increasingly anti-Israel press and “woke” world at large.
Not to mention the not so insignificant fact that Israel will absolutely not yield its historical claims to at least part of its very real historical inheritance.
If ARABISM can have almost two dozen states today, most conquered from other non-Arab peoples, including one on almost 80% of the original 1920 Mandate of Palestine, separated in 1922, and known as Jordan, then why the problem over an Israel which requires a magnifying glass to locate on a world globe?
At the end of the June 1967 War, the normally hostile UN recognized this itself when it passed the final draft of UNSC Resolution 242, which calls for a meaningful territorial compromise in these territories so that Israel would never have to return to its suicidal, 9-15 mile wide, 1949 Auschwitz/Armistice line status.
Here’s important information regarding 242 and other essential supporting factors relevant to this analysis…
But where is the Arab restaurant, pizzeria, ice cream parlor, or teen clubhouse deliberately blown apart, with Jews then building a museum to showcase models of Arab body parts for visitors to ogle at?
Arabs do such things, not Jews…

The origins of this retaliatory violence, however, are undoubtedly in the Arab belief that once a land has been forcibly conquered in the of the Dar ul-Islam, it can never revert back to kafir infidel status…especially if those kafirs happen to be the Qur’an’s hated “kilab yahud,” Jew dog sons of apes and pigs…
It should also be noted that Arabs don’t need to worry about their buses being blown up, kids being beheaded, women gang raped, etc., as has been the case with Jewish victims…thousands of over the years.
Jews don’t have a “pay to slay” policy rewarding murderers as Arabs have—and these are the alleged “good guys” of Mahmoud Abbas’s latter day Arafatians in suits.
Please note that in international law, àn ancestral people does not lose its ancient historic rights because, unfortunately, their country had been invaded over the millennia by many different imperial conquerors, which sometimes led to their forced exile.
By the way, Arabs came into the 4,000 year ancestral homeland of the Jews via their own imperial conquest—the same way they acquired Egypt from the Copts, North Africa from native Amazigh and Kabyle “Berbers,” Persia from its Zoroastrian inhabitants, Mesopotamia from the Kurds, Assyrians, Chaldeans, and others, Phoenician descended Christian Lebanese, and so forth.

Here’s the one-sided account of the violence in the contested areas…

As a footnote “FYI,” I’ve done extensive doctoral work in this area, and my research is based on volumes of solid corroborating evidence.
Please open the following link:
Note the coin atop the front cover of this forever timely book is an Iudaea (Judaea) Capta one—not an Arabia capta, or non-existent Palaestina capta one.
It was issued after the first of four major revolts of Judaea (4,000 year ancestral homeland of the Jewish People) against its imperial Roman and Byzantine oppressors.
The last of these revolts had Sasanid Persia aiding the Judaean/Jewish People, in the same way that earlier Persian help also assisted in earlier revolts…

In fact, since the days of the wonderful Persian king, Cyrus the Great, who freed the Judaeans from Babylonian captivity and recorded this action himself, before Persia suffered the same fate as Judaea in the 7th century C.E., when massive, alien colonizing, settling, genocidal Arab hordes poured out of a fast desiccating Arabian Peninsula to literally STEAL other non-Arab peoples’s native ancestral homelands, and next claimed those lands only belonged to Arabs and their ever expanding Dar ul-Islam…
Your and other people’s claims about “occupation” on the part of Israel because it stakes its legitimate claim to at least part of its historical Israelite/Hebrew/Judaean homeland is beyond hypocritical.
ARABISM conquered and forcibly Arabized and Islamized over six million square miles of territory, going on to this very day, “purely Arab patrimony”, and to hell with anyone else’s original ancestral rights or aspirations.
Countless millions were slaughtered in this process, and the numbers on the Indian subcontinent and black Africa (continuing as I pen this note to you) alone are staggering.
And you dare point fingers at Israel ?
Your own Qatar and Saudi brothers are infamous for the large population of black African and other SLAVES you possess.
