A Saudi op-ed gives 12 reasons why Arabs shouldn't have ties to Israel

Lots of stuff in this article by Sadah Yahya Fadel in Okaz, the most popular newspaper in Saudi Arabia.

The reality of the Zionist entity, and the nature of its policies, goals and aspirations, are known not only to political observers, but also to ordinary Arabs. Seventy years after this cancerous entity was found in the heart of the Arab nation, the majority of Arab peoples have become aware of the reality of this state, which has created only resentment, anger and absolute hatred of its aggressive expansionist policies. Only a small number of the cynics see Israel as a "respectable" state. It seems that the accusers did not become so only by the availability of one or more of the four qualities famous in them, namely: either benefiting from Israel, in one way or another, or corrupt feelings and feelings of humanity, or ignorant of the nature and truth and history of the Zionist entity, or hypocrites who flatter the supporters of Israel, and supporters of its aggression, especially America, as «the way to the heart of America passes through Israel».

A normal person, especially the Arab, can not accept Israel, as it is now. This acceptance means nothing more than blindness and self-betrayal. The acceptance of Israel, as it stands now, and the lack of pressure to force it to fulfill the requirements of peace, which achieves the minimum legitimate rights of the Palestinians, means normalization which is stupid and disgusting. And this humiliating normalization has repercussions and terrible negative consequences, and is terrifying for the Arabs. Here is a summary of the most important:

(1) The failure of the Palestinian people, and the depth of the injustice inflicted on them. And thus contribute to the aggravation of this great Arab and human tragedy.

(2) The connection of Sephardic Jews, Jews of the East, to Palestine, does not justify their raping of Palestine. The connection of the Ashkenazi Jews, the Jews of the West, to the region is almost nonexistent, not to mention that they have little to do with the land of Palestine. And what came in some of the heavenly books about this connection was singled out by the Jews of that time only. Let us go back to some of the works of the objective historians, to take these facts very well, and do not rest on the Zionist stories in this regard. The most prominent of these facts is the late Dr. Abdulwahab Mohammed Al-Messiri (October 1938 - 2008). He is a prominent political thinker and sociologist and is one of the world's leading historians specializing in the study of the world Zionist movement. He is the author of the Encyclopedia of the Jews, Judaism and Zionism, one of the greatest Arab encyclopedic works of the twentieth century. He has also published dozens of articles and researches on Israel and the Zionist movement, characterized by objectivity and the fact that he is a solid scientific scholar. The Government of Israel prohibits the circulation of his writings and research. [Fairly sure that is not true....-EoZ]

(3) The establishment of an independent Palestinian state to stop the Zionist dreams is a stumbling block in the way of Israeli expansionist policies. The only way to satisfy this evil of Israel is its possible disappearance or containment within the 1967 borders.

(4) The Zionist movement not only targets Palestine, but all Arabs and Muslims. It seeks to establish «Greater Israel» (from the Nile to the Euphrates) on the remains of the Arab nation ...! Does Israel possess such a huge arsenal of conventional and strategic weapons to confront the Palestinians?

(5) This cancerous entity is considered (or should be considered) the greatest enemy of the Arab and Islamic nation. There is no one in the world who is more hostile to Arabism than Israel. How do the Arabs believe in their side and open the Arab doors to it?

(6) Most of what is happening in the Arab region is unrest and even crimes, which Israel - and its institutions - contribute to obtaining. This entity enjoys the tragedies of the Arabs and seeks, around the clock, to increase their wounds.

(7) Despite what is rumored about Israel's vast technological and industrial progress, most of what is said is pure bullshit. This racist state is still living on America's huge gifts and subsidies. True, there is something of outstanding scientific progress. But most of what we can hope for from Israel can be obtained from other countries, perhaps at a lower cost and better conditions.

(8) Israel rejects peace, as it is universally agreed, and does not accept peaceful "coexistence" . It wants to be the ultimate peremptory force in the region, after the division and dismemberment of the surrounding Arab entities.

(9) The city of Jerusalem is a sacred symbol especially for Arabs and Muslims, being the first of the two Qibla and the third of the two Holy Mosques. Israel is striking this symbolism, and insists that Jerusalem be considered the "eternal capital" of Israel. How can Arabs and Muslims overlook Jerusalem?

(10) Arab states should not be asked what the Palestinians, Egyptians, and Jordanians have done by establishing relations with Israel. These people were forced by the fact that they were in direct confrontation with the Zionist enemy, to establish (very cold) relations with this entity. And everyone knows what they suffer from these limited and frequent relations with the Zionists who deal with them, and at the threat of arms. There is no need for Arab countries outside the front to confront such relations, which harm them more than they benefit, in addition to harming the cause of the mother. There are dozens of Arab agreements and commitments that prohibit the establishment of any Arab state with Israel.

(11) There is growing international and international sympathy within the UN, Asia, Africa and Latin America, with the Palestinian cause, and a strong call to support this issue Until the final solution. It is not appropriate for Arabs to push relations with Israel and contribute to the liquidation of this issue, while non-Arabs sympathize with the Palestinian people.

(12) The Palestinian class is torn apart by a temporary situation. And is expected to achieve the minimum legitimate rights of the Palestinian people will automatically unite - the Palestinian front.


On the basis of the above, it appears that the person who puts his hand in the hands of Israel in the situation that it is now, betrays himself, and his country and community and nation, loses his world, and is shamed in the Hereafter.
