Fundamental Principles

Summary

Part I: The Historical and Factual Background of the Conflict

Topics in Part I

I-A The Land of Israel has been the national home of the Jewish People for three thousand years

I-B The Qur’an, the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Bible all confirm Jewish claims to the Land of Israel.

I-C How the Arabs/Muslims acquired ten million square miles of territory.

I-D There never was a State of Palestine. Until recently, there was no concept of a Palestinian people.

I-E The Peace that almost happened. The Feisal-Weizmann agreement and the subsequent League of Nations mandates.

I-F Britain betrays its Mandate

I-G Origins of the Palestinian Arab refugee problem

I-H The Expulsion of Jews from Arab Countries

I-I Sixty long years of unrelenting Arab war against Israel

I-J The Palestinian terrorist organizations

   I-J.1 Fatah

   I-J.2 Hamas

   I-J.3 Other Palestinian terrorist organizations

   I-J.4 Political and Diplomatic Demands of the Palestinian Terrorist Organizations

I-K Origins of the Israeli “occupation” of the “West Bank” and Gaza

I-L Israel has withdrawn from over 90% of the territory it occupied in 1967, and has offered to withdraw from nearly all the remaining territory in return for peace. The Palestinian terrorist organizations have responded with more and more aggression.

I-M The Oslo accords

I-N The Roadmap

Part II: Why the Roadmap and its ‘Land for Peace’ Approach Cannot Work

Topics in Part II

II-A There is no development plan to avoid a demographic time bomb.

II-B Arab hostility toward, and rejection of, Israel and Jews is not being addressed.

   II- B.1  The Roadmap approach leaves terrorist organizations,
                which are unalterably opposed to peace, in power

   II- B.2 The Roadmap and similar approaches make no provision
               for reeducation for peace.

   II-C By compelling Israel to withdraw from territory without requiring the Palestinian Arabs to recognize its borders, the Roadmap contains a formula for an indefinite continuation of the war.

II-D The Roadmap and similar proposals deprive Israel of sufficient territory for self-defense, which would create dire risks to everyone.

II-E The Roadmap approach would probably require the expulsion of 400,000-500,000 Israelis from their homes

II-F By declaring the Saudi plan to be one of the bases for a final settlement between Israel and the Palestinians, the Roadmap may force Israel to resettle up to 3 million hostile Palestinian Arabs.

II-G The Roadmap fails to recognize the historic rights of the Jewish people and their contributions to world civilization.
