There are no Palestinians, any more than there are any American British Colonists. Under the British Mandate (1920–1948), the region that is now The State of Israel was known as Palestine. Upon its establishment in 1948 by the United Nations as an independent nation, that nation adopted the name “The State of Israel”. Accordingly, in 1948 Palestine ceased to exist. Those who call themselves “Palestinians” are actually Israeli Arabs who refuse to recognize that the State of Israel exists. However, there is no Palestinian state or country in which they reside. They are Israelis residing in Israel. Imagine if after the U. S. won its independence from Britain in 1783, that a small group living in America did not choose to recognize this. Further, imagine that they did not leave the U.S., but established a settlement in, say, western Pennsylvania, and declared that a portion of the land there was still a colony of Britain. Would the U.S. government have permitted this? Imagine now that these people who call themselves British Colonists fired cannon into the U.S., and attacked and killed Americans. How long would it be before they were arrested or killed? No other nation would permit what the hostile Gazan Israeli Arabs have done to continue for a day, less many decades. Until the current war, Israel had been for too patient and humanitarian in this matter, the result being that in addition to the almost 20,000 missiles that Hamas has fired from Gaza since 2001, 1,139 people -695 Israeli civilians (including 38 children), 71 foreign nationals, including 46 Americans, and 373 members of the Israeli security forces were brutally slaughtered, many women and girls raped before they were killed or captured, children killed in front of their parents, parents killed in front of their children, and 251 Israelis and foreign nationals including 12 Americans were taken hostage by Hamas on October 7, 2023. Concerning the war that Hamas began and has been fighting against Israel, except for the children, there are few if any innocent Gazans. The Gazans celebrated and continue to celebrate the October 7 atrocity, hailing Hamas as their heroes. After all, who is Hamas but the husbands, brothers, and sons of the Gazans? What has happened to Gaza and its people, every drop of blood, and every destroyed structure was brought down upon them by Hamas, which is to say, themselves. Those who sow the storm will inherit the wind.
