Israel Self-Determination
Israel insists self-determination will happen.

A senior State Department official Frank Lowenstein paged through a government briefing book in 2015 and noticed a plan that he had not seen before.
Typically, those maps made Jewish hamlets and boundaries look tiny compared to the areas where the Palestinians occupied and lived. The new plans showed large swaths of territory that were off-limits to Palestinian settlements and filled the space between the Israeli hamlets and the boundaries.
There was no way to squeeze a viable Palestinian state into the areas that remained.
The re-settlement zones, the illegal outposts, and the other areas off-limits to Palestinian expansion covered sixty per cent of the West Bank.
Lowenstein discussed the map with Secretary of State John Kerry and said, “Look what’s going on.”
The information was verified by U.S. intelligence agencies. Obama’s presidency was winding down but figured that he could use the time left to raise awareness about what the Israelis were doing to regain their heartland that he did not favour.
The treason against Israel has started, and the enemies and friends of Israel unmasked. The world can no longer pretend or execute indifference to the Israeli situation in the Middle East.
The State Department presentation showed examples of what the State Department identified as “Palestinian instigation” and Israel’s settlement growth in the West Bank. One of the plans was titled “What a One State Reality Looks Like,” and included a bullet point that reads:
In the areas of Israel, Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, Israeli officials stated that the total number of Jews and Arabs is about similar.
Kerry met with Obama in the Oval Office. During some of those meetings, Kerry, Obama and his advisers studied the maps.
Obama was shocked to see how “precise” the Israelis had been at cutting off Palestinian population centres from one another.
The maps were not shown to the Israelis, but Kerry walked through the key findings, incorporated into Kerry's speeches and other documents. Israelis never challenged those findings.
Kerry presented the map to the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas.
Kerry told Abbas that the Obama Administration was aware of how the two-state solution was threatened.
Abbas told a confidant that the maps convinced him that, according to the Americans:-
“The chances of a Palestinian state are not viable.”
Alarmed by Israeli actions depicted in the charts, Obama abstained from a Security Council resolution condemning Israel for reclaiming its heartland, clearing the way for its passage.
This would be Obama’s final act of defiance against Benjamin Netanyahu before Donald Trump took office and introduced policies that were far more acceptable to the Israelis.
As the date of Israel’s demand for its supremacy over its traditional Biblical Heartland draws near, a growing chorus of voices disseminates alarm over the action.
Some of these voices are internationalists as well as policy-makers from previous U.S. administrations. However, others are left-wing politicians in Israel who have watched their pet project dubbed a “Palestinian State” become outdated.
Most interestingly, more antagonism towards an extension of sovereignty over Israel’s historic homeland has come from the E.U. rather than Arab countries like Saudi Arabia or Bahrain.
The “Palestinian” project has been a well-oiled machine created and funded by the E.U. to check Israel. In a sense, the E.U. has wanted Israel to remain and appear as a European slave in the more magnificent sea of the Middle East.
The Trump plan breaks this calculation down, returning the narrative of Israel’s historic rights in the region back to where it should be.
For the Arab countries, issue condemnations, but most of them want to move on from the “Palestinian” issue. It has done nothing for them and has prevented them from moving forward in building a resilient set of systems, both militarily and economically, that can counteract Iran.
For Arab leaders, Abbas and the Palestinians have become a nuisance. Only Jordan, who has an 80% “Palestinian” population, is indeed in opposition to the plan.
Sovereignty is moving forward. The only question is how much of it will be applied.
The heartland of the Palestinians lies on the western border of Israel. It is an old trick of people to steal a heartland of others by breeding more children in a different area to outnumber the local population and create immense poverty, discontent and create the impression that they own the land
