Just wait until the Jews take over the place.

I was once in “Gush Katif,” the collection of Jewish towns in Gaza. It was Ariel Sharon, the “bulldozer” who pushed for putting settlements there, and it was he and his accomplice, Ehud Olmert, who ripped them out. I visited my wife’s family in Neve Dekalim. It was beautiful—green, pastoral, and on the beach. Just as Michael Jordan can do things with a basketball that mere mortals cannot do, the Jews make the desert bloom, while the Arabs—well, you can see for yourself in Syria, Jordan, and elsewhere.

As England, France, Australia, and Canada run to recognize a fake country of “Palestine,” U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, was practicing blowing the shofar while blessing the Israeli and Jewish people with a wonderful new year. I have great memories of family visits to England, Australia, and Canada (never been to France beyond the airport), and I will always keep those memories with me. Those countries are all heading towards self-destruction. Donald Trump said as much from the U.N., but they will laugh at him, as they did when he warned them that Europe was too dependent on Russian energy. A betting man would put his money on future Sharia states: the Europeans have no functioning mechanism to stop the endless stream of illegal immigrants who refuse to assimilate. England’s pathetic “one-in-one out” joke was scotched by a local judge. The alternative is violent civil war from the remaining patriots to reclaim their glorious countries of yore. I still remember sitting in a quiet corner of the Red Lion House, where we camped out as we were taken apart at the Henley Royal Regatta. The house was 500 years old, our hosts were wonderful, and the quiet of the English countryside was beyond compare. Soon, there will be a mosque and the constant sound of call to prayer. The invasion was self-inflicted. So while Israel goes off to build PALESTEIN in Gaza and the West Bank, both under full Israeli rule, Macron and his friends better learn how to pray five times a day. He will also have to learn how to beat his wife, and not the other way around.

My buddy in Gaza estimates that it would take 10 years to remove the debris from the strip. If there is a strong financial and/or ideological driver to do things faster, I am sure that the time can be reduced. Israel can take all of Gaza and set aside a small space for the remaining Palestinians. It will be like any neighborhood that you avoid, and they can sit there and replay videos from the  Oct. 7 massacre to keep themselves busy. They started a war and lost, and as throughout history, to the victors the spoils. The same is true for the West Bank. The Israeli leadership in June 1967 told King Hussein that if he stays out of the developing war, Israel would not attack. The Old City of Jerusalem and all of Judea and Samaria would still be Jordanian. But Egypt’s Nasser pushed him and he lost the same. It’s time for Israel to stop apologizing for its existence and start calling all areas under Israeli control ISRAEL. Arabs, like Israeli Arabs, can either learn to get by and make do or get up and leave. I once interviewed the son of the reigning Palestinian prime minister for his application to Harvard. He did not get in, but he went to college in Washington and never came back. Many can and will do the same.

PALESTEIN will be beautiful and modern. It will have all of the high-tech features present in newer Israeli cities and towns. The Westerners (sans Trump and the United States) can recognize a country that has no borders and a “leader” who has overstayed his term by about 16 years. His second-in-command is a former terrorist, so the profile fits perfectly for Macron and Starmer. The “Palestine” that they want might be the only country in the world where Canada’s Carney did not serve in some governmental capacity. Let them make their declarations to soothe their conscience and placate their ever-growing Jew-hating minorities. It’s an empty gesture that tells Hamas that their murder and rape spree was A-OK. Kill Jews and get a free country! As people on this website often say about members of the media or Democrats: you can’t hate them enough.

I would love to get a property in Gaza near the beach. So would thousands of other Israelis. The time has come to stop apologizing for winning and show the world that there's a steep price for attacking and killing Jews. The New Gaza or PALESTEIN, will be the final word on the pogrom in southern Israel. Just as the U.S. went from the destruction of Pearl Harbor to the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay, Israel will go from the wanton rape and murder of its people to a completely new area of Israeli control. It is not lebensraum—Hitler's "living space" that he wanted in the east.  No, it is a sign of victory, just as the U.S. set up Subic Naval Base and Clark AFB in the Philippines after taking them back from Japan.

It is an amazing thing what denial of visas can do. As the Trump administration made clear that terrorism would not be rewarded by rolling out the welcome mat for some 80 members of the PLO and PA, Abu Mazen was sent back to the days of Covid and had to reopen his Zoom account for the U.N. Good that the IT guys were available to get him connected. He gave his standard Israel (“the Occupation”) is the problem speech. He made two points that he has never made before. I take them as meaningless or maybe he was off of his medications:

*Recognize Israel’s right to exist. What a guy.

*The new/old Palestine will be demilitarized. Yeah, like those rockets they found in Tulkarm.

If Rubio had not clipped the PA leader’s wings, he would not have felt any need to add these points, as Macron and friends want to give him a state with no strings attached. There was a recent meeting at the White House—I noticed Tony Blair was present. He was Clinton/Bush W. vintage. Why would he be there? Well, he is crafting a very clever program on the future of Gaza that when all is said and done is delivered to Abu Mazen and his incorrigible and corrupt PA. Sorry, it’s time for PALESTEIN, where the Jews again run Gaza and the Palestinians can either become Israeli Arabs or live in some reservation. Killing over a thousand Jews in one day has consequences. The end of Palestine is one of them. 

The Palestinian people have never wanted peaceful coexistence. They have wanted to destroy Israel. Period. Time to put their fantasies to bed and declare all of the land promised to the Jews in the Balfour Declaration as Israel, pure and simple. Goodbye Palestine and long live PALESTEIN!
