Indeed, most of the Arabs living within the borders of Israel today have come from some other Arab country at some time in their life. They have come from Jordan, Egypt and, indirectly, from every other Arab country you can name. The Arabs have built 2. West Bank since 1. We don’t hear much about those settlements. We hear instead about the number of Jewish settlements that have been created. We hear how destabilizing they are — how provocative they are. Yet, by comparison, only 1. Jewish settlements have been built since 1. Jerusalem, in the West Bank and in Gaza. The car is a 1967 Chevrolet Impala. Chuck says the Impala rolled off the assembly line in Janesville, Wisconsin, on April 24, 1967. April 24 is Eric Kripke. James Bond (Agent 007) – posta.It is based on the number of Arab day workers entering but not leaving Israel. The numbers were published by the Israel Central Bureau for Statistics during the administration of Binyamin Netanyahu and subsequently denied as “recording errors” by the Ehud Barak administration. Of course, the Barak administration had incentives for denying the high illegal immigration numbers, given its heavy political reliance on Arab voters. Is this a new phenomenon? This has always been the case. Arabs have been flocking to Israel ever since it was created and even before, coinciding with the wave of Jewish immigration into Palestine prior to 1. Winston Churchill said in 1. So far from being persecuted, the Arabs have crowded into the country and multiplied till their population has increased more than even all world Jewry could lift up the Jewish population.” And that raises a question I never hear anyone ask: If Israel’s policies make life so intolerable for Arabs, why do they continue to flock to the Jewish state? This is an important question as we see the Palestinian debate now shift to the issue of “the right of return.” According to the most liberal claims by Arab sources, some 6. Arabs left Israel in and around 1. Jewish state was created. Most were not forced out by Jews, but rather left at the urging of Arab leaders who had declared war on Israel. Yet, there are far more Arabs living in these territories now than ever before. And many of those who left in 1. Arab nations. This is why it is so difficult to define the term “Palestinian.” It always has been. Who is a “Palestinian”? Is it someone who came to work in Palestine because of a bustling economy and job opportunities? Is it someone who lived in the region for two years? Is it someone who once visited the area? Is it any Arab who wants to live in the area? Arabs outnumber Jews in the Middle East by a factor of about 1. But how many of those hundreds of millions of Arabs are actually Palestinians? Not very many. The Arab population of Palestine was historically extremely low — prior to the Jews’ renewed interest in the area beginning in the early 1. After all, we’re told that Jerusalem is the third holiest city in Islam. Surely, if this were a widely held belief in 1. The Arabs came because of economic activity. And, believe it or not, they came because there was more freedom and more opportunity in Israel than in their own homelands. What is a Palestinian? If any Arabs have legitimate claims on property in Israel, it must be those who were illegally deprived of their land and homes after 1. Arafat has no such claim. And few if any of those shooting, bombing and terrorizing Israelis today do either.
