What's left for the Jews?
By Wallace Edward Brand
It was recently announced that that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton 
told Prime Minister Netanyahu that Obama wanted settlement construction in 
the West Bank to stop.  But that is clearly not what he wants.  Since 1950 
some 261 Arab settlements have been built in the West Bank.  These are 
filled with Arabs from the adjacent states of Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt 
and dei gratia they become "Palestinians".  Allahu Akbar!  This Arab 
settlement is proceeding apace.  No mention of it in the mass media, ever. 
Twice as many Arab settlements as Jewish settlements since 1950.

Obama wants only Jewish construction to stop, even construction within 
existing settlements to provide for natural growth.  If heeded, that would 
be the third foreclosure of areas of Palestine to the Jews, with a fourth, 
the Golan Heights, coming.  The US currently agrees with Israel that such 
settlements are not illegal.  It presses Israel to stop settlements solely 
because it thinks this will advance peace negotiations.

If Obama's fiat were to be heeded, it would mean that in addition to the 
British foreclosing Jews from settling in 77% of Palestine that is now 
Jordan by a law enacted in 1922 and still current, and Sharon, at Dubya 
Bush's urging, ejecting Jews from the very desirable Gaza strip area on 
the Mediterranean coast in 2005 that is .3% of Palestine, Obama would 
foreclose settlement in another 4.8% in the West Bank (Judea and Samaria). 
That would leave the Jews 6.7% of Palestine, Israel proper, that they must 
share with the Arabs and the not very habitable 9.9% of Palestine which is 
the Negev desert.  If Israel can manage to hang on to the Golan Heights, 
which doesn't appear likely, it would have just short of another 1% to 
share with the Arabs.

There is not much left of the Balfour Declaration. It was adopted by the 
Allies in WWI as their policy in the Conference of San Remo. The policy 
was set forth in Article 95 of the Treaty of Sevres transferring 
undisputed sovereignty over Palestine that the Ottomans exercised for 400 
years in trust for the Jews.  The League of Nations was to have enforced 
the policy through the British as trustees over the British Mandate of 
Palestine.  That policy was to give Palestine, comprising 1% of the 
captured Ottoman Empire in the Middle East and the Mahgreb (North Africa) 
to the Jews as a National Homeland for settlement.  The same policy was 
also adopted by the United States in a Joint Resolution enacted on June 
30, 1922.  See House Resolution No 360 (House Report No. 1172)

The other 99% of the captured Ottoman Empire was divided into 21 nation 
states for Arabs and Muslims.   In 1950 most of the indigenous Jews in 
this area were expelled by those 21 states, forced to leave their money 
and their real and personal property behind.

If Obama has his way, the Jews would now be left to settle on 0.067% of 
the lands disposed of, a sliver that they must share with the Arabs.  The 
Arabs and Muslims have all the rest.
