Israel’s international “birth certificate” is validated by the promise of the Old Testament, New Testament, and in the Quran; uninterrupted and interrupted Jewish settlements from the time of Joshua onward;; the League of Nations Mandate, which incorporated the Balfour Declaration; the United Nations Partition Resolution of 1947; declaration of Israeli Statehood in 1948; Israel’s admission to the UN in 1949; the recognition of Israel by over 180 other states; and, most of all, the society created by Israel’s people in decades of thriving, dynamic national existence. In the mean time, Hamas cannot even get a seat at the UN, and the Palestinian Authority is only an observer state.
Palestinian Arabs deserved an independent state of their own, but Palestinian leadership has blown it with every opportunity.
