there ever were Jewish holy places
in Jerusalem.
The Balfour Declaration not
only promised the Jewish people
a homeland in Palestine, it based
it on that historic connection. So,
Abbas is now doubling down on
disconnecting Jews from the Holy
Land, the surest formula for continu-
ing conflict.
Second, Abbas is continuing
another unfortunate Palestinian pat-
tern, living in the world of illusion.
From the beginning, Palestinians
opposed a Jewish State so much so
that they rejected the 1947 U.N. par-
tition plan that would have provided
for a Palestinian state.
Ever since, they have convinced
themselves of all kinds of ways they
could achieve their goal of hav-
ing Israel disappear. Boycotts, U.N.
resolutions, international condemna-
tions and terrorism are all harmful
to Israel but have no possibility of
undoing the reality of a strong and
vibrant Israel. In other words, pursu-
ing an illusion rather than seeking
practical ways to improve their situa-
tion on the ground.
Talk about illusions, they don’t get
any bigger than this talk of suing the
British for the Balfour Declaration.
One hundred years of history can-
not be erased by a magic wand or a
lawsuit.
Of course, so many in the interna-
tional community have played into
these illusions that have harmed the
Palestinians. We’ll see what will hap-
pen this time.
This latest shenanigan by the
Palestinians will only play into the
notion in Israel that the Palestinians
will never reconcile themselves to
Israel’s existence and that there’s
no difference between Abbas and
Hamas.
There surely is a basis for such
thinking, but it is not the whole
story. Abbas and the P.A. have a
complicated history that involves, at
times, working with Israeli officials
and talking about living in peace
with two states.
Positive steps, however, are totally
undermined by an action such as
this lawsuit. It tells even the most
optimistic Israeli that nothing much
has changed, that Palestinians still
don’t accept the meaning of Israel
to the Jewish people and that wish-
ful thinking rather than positive
practical concepts still govern the
Palestinian narrative.
If only this story was, in fact, an
Onion satire.
