A Palestinian State Won’t Work

There are many reasons why a Palestinian state of any sort cannot work, chief among them being that Palestinians lack the prerequisites for a nation: common purpose, the desire to live in peace so its citizens can carry on normal lives and build for a better future, concern about the well-being of their children and posterity, a commitment to law and order, and building an economic infrastructure capable of supporting a thriving economy.  These are the basics that any nation must have, and all of them are missing.

  • Common Purpose: Only one thing unites the people we call “Palestinians” today—the desire to annihilate Israel.  If you read the Palestinian and Hamas charters, you can’t help but notice that the central tenet in both of them is the animus the Palestinian people have for Israel.  The elimination of Israel is the overarching theme in both charters, and the creation of a Pan-Arab nation comes in second.  Neither of these guiding principles bodes well for peace with Israel or for building a prosperous Palestinian state.
  • The desire to live in peace so its citizens can carry on normal lives and build for a better future:  Judging by what the Palestinians say they want to achieve, peace with Israel is totally out of the question.  In fact, based on what they say, war is inevitable.  Both charters call upon Palestinians to dedicate their lives and their wealth to destroying Israel.  The Western concept of a “normal life” isn’t even hinted at, and a better future by their definition is nothing more than a Middle East with no Israel.  If you take them at their word, and there is no reason not to, they have no other vision for a brighter future.
  • Concern about the well-being of their children and posterity: Palestinians raise their children to become martyrs—walking bombs that they can explode among crowds of innocent Israelis.  That’s not what I say.  It’s what they say, and it’s spelled out clearly in their charters as though it’s the only reason Palestinians have children.  That’s a version of love for children and posterity that Western minds can’t fathom, and it’s certainly not conducive to building a prosperous and peaceful nation.
  • A commitment to law and order: The Palestinian government, be it Hamas or Fatah, is notorious for corruption and the whims of despotic rulers.  The rule of law isn’t even part of their vocabulary.  Peaceful and prosperous nations that survive over the long-term must have law and order, and there is no evidence that Palestinians want either.
  • Building an economic infrastructure capable of supporting a thriving economy: The economic model in place today in the Palestinian community is one of providing labor for a bustling Israeli economy and seeking donations from useful idiots around the world who support their cause, which is to destroy Israel.  These two economic characteristics are antithetical to building a flourishing national economy.  By definition, Palestinians can’t seek to eliminate Israel and at the same time expect to thrive as Israel grows and prospers.  Similarly, Palestinians can’t hope to achieve economic independence if they position themselves as global beggars.  Delusory thinking and hatred are not substitutes for sound economic principles, and they don’t lead toward prosperity or peace.

Absent sweeping changes in their thinking, there is no way a Palestinian state will work, and no amount of wishing and hoping for peace and prosperity will compensate for the abiding hatred the Palestinian people have for Israel.

Lamentations 4: 1-4

How dark the gold has become, how the pure gold has changed!  The sacred stones are poured out at the corner of every street.  The precious sons of Zion, weighed against fine gold, how they are regarded as earthen jars, the work of a potter’s hands!  Even jackals offer the breast, they nurse their young; but the daughter of my people has become cruel like ostriches in the wilderness.  The tongue of the infant cleaves to the roof of its mouth because of thirst; the little ones ask for bread, but no one breaks it for them.

His Name is Yahweh explains why the Name of God, Yahweh, is so important.  It’s available in eBook format and in paperback.

  • God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ This [Yahweh] is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation.” (Exodus 3: 15)
  • “Therefore behold, I am going to make them know—this time I will make them know My power and My might; and they shall know that My name is Yahweh.” (Jeremiah 16: 21)
  • “Behold, the days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch; and He will reign as king and act wisely and do justice and righteousness in the land.  In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely; and this is His name by which He will be called, ‘Yahweh our righteousness.’” (Jeremiah 23: 5-6)

Stand! is a suspense novel that exposes the lies, corruption, and greed underlying the theory that man-made CO2 emissions are responsible for global warming.  Professor Wes Carlyle and Karen Sterling, his research collaborator, carefully scan the audience for their would-be attacker—a member of the enviro-gestapo who has been following them for days.  Wes spots his man in the back of the room leaning against the wall.  Suddenly, another man in the audience steps forward and moves toward Karen at a menacing pace.  With a vicious stroke, he swings a billy club at her head.  Click here to order the eBook.  Click here to order the paperback.

Blessings in the Book of Revelation is a book that you need to read, especially now.  There are blessings throughout the Scriptures but Revelation is the only book in the Bible actually containing a specific blessing for reading it. It’s repeated twice, once at the beginning and again at the end. This is the reason that I believe Revelation should be the first step toward studying biblical prophecy. Though not easy to do, Revelation can be broken down and understood by anyone, not just the academic elite. So, Revelation’s blessings are for everyone.  Click here to order the eBook.  Click here to order the paperback.

Falsely Accused is a true story about a young woman who was accused of committing a double homicide.  It’s about a travesty of justice, and it reveals Yahweh intervening in the life of a believer to rescue her from danger in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.  Everyone will enjoy the book, but young people in particular need to read it because the mistakes made that led to the problem could have been avoided.  They were the kinds of mistakes that young people are prone to make.  As they say, forewarned is forearmed.  Click here to order the eBook.  Click here to order the paperback.
