Abbas Returns to West Bank in Triumph After U.N. Vote — Tells Crowds Jerusalem Is the ‘Eternal Capital of Palestine’

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas Returns to West Bank After U.N. Vote, Declares Jerusalem Eternal Capital of Palestine

RAMALLAH, West Bank (TheBlaze/AP) — The Palestinian president returned triumphantly to the West Bank on Sunday, receiving a boisterous welcome from thousands of cheering supporters at a rally celebrating his people’s new acceptance to the United Nations.

An Israeli decision to cut off a cash transfer to the financially troubled Palestinian Authority, following an earlier decision to build thousands of new homes in Jewish settlements, failed to put a damper on the celebrations.

But Palestinian officials acknowledged they were undecided on what to do with their newfound status, and are waiting for upcoming Israeli elections and new ideas from President Barack Obama before deciding how to proceed.

Outside the headquarters of President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank city of Ramallah, some 5,000 people thronged a square, hoisted Palestinian flags and cheered their leader’s return from New York. Large posters of the Palestinian leader, whose popularity had plummeted in recent months, adorned nearby buildings.

“We now have a state,” Abbas said to wild applause. “The world has said loudly, `Yes to the state of Palestine.’”

But he didn’t stop at that. According to Israel National News, Abbas boldly declared in his speech: “One day, a young Palestinian will raise the Palestinian flag over Jerusalem…the eternal capital of the state of Palestine!”

The United Nations General Assembly last week overwhelmingly endorsed an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, territories Israel captured in the 1967 war. The move to upgrade the Palestinians to a nonmember observer state does not change much on the ground, but it carries deep potential significance.

The vote amounted to an international endorsement of the Palestinian position on future border arrangements with Israel and, according to the Associated Press, an overwhelming condemnation of Israeli settlements in the areas claimed by the Palestinians.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejects a return to Israel’s 1967 lines, largely because they are completely indefensible. Israel remains in control in parts of the West Bank and considers east Jerusalem, the Palestinians’ hoped-for capital, an integral part of its own capital.

Israel also continues to restrict access to Gaza, though they withdrew seven years ago from the coastal strip and granted it relative autonomy. In the intervening time, Hamas has taken control and Islamic militants have increased their rocket attacks on Israel.

Backed by the U.S., Israel campaigned strongly against the statehood measure, accusing the Palestinians of trying to bypass direct peace negotiations, which it said were the only viable path to a Palestinian state.

The Israeli lobbying efforts failed miserably. Only eight other countries voted with Israel, and even its closest allies in Europe, including Germany, Italy, France and Britain, either abstained or voted with the Palestinians.

Israel responded strongly and swiftly. The following day, it said it would start drawing up plans to build thousands of settlement homes, including the first-ever development on a crucial corridor east of Jerusalem.

Although the project is likely years away, if it happens at all, the announcement struck a defiant tone.

Building in the area, known as E1, would sever the link between the West Bank and east Jerusalem, the sector of the holy city the Palestinians claim for a future capital, and cut off the northern part of the West Bank form its southern flank. The Palestinians claim such a scenario would essentially kill any hope for the creation of a viable state.

The U.S., Britain, France and other European states all denounced the plan.

On Sunday, the Israeli government delivered another blow, saying it would withhold more than $100 million in funds it transfers to the Palestinians each month.

Instead, it said the money – taxes and customs duties that Israel collects on behalf of the Palestinians – would be used to pay off its debts to Israeli companies, including $200 million owed to the state-run Israel Electric Corp., government officials said.

The monthly transfers are crucial for the cash-strapped Palestinian Authority to pay salaries to its tens of thousands of civil servants and security forces. Israel has taken similar measures in the past before eventually releasing the money.

At the weekly meeting of his Cabinet, Netanyahu said the Palestinian statehood campaign was a “gross violation” of past agreements calling for disputes to be resolved through negotiations.

“Accordingly, the government of Israel rejects the U.N General Assembly decision,” he told his Cabinet on Sunday. He also pledged to continue building settlements.

“Today we are building, and we will continue to build in Jerusalem and in all areas that appear on Israel’s map of strategic interests.”

Half a million settlers live in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. The ongoing growth of the settlements is at the heart of the current impasse in peace efforts.

The Palestinians view continued settlement expansion as a show of bad faith and refuse to return to negotiations unless construction is frozen.

Netanyahu has claimed a brief settlement slowdown in 2010 failed to jump-start negotiations, and he has refused calls for a new construction freeze.

The Palestinians have signaled that they may use their upgraded status to join the International Criminal Court and pursue war crimes charges against Israel. But officials say any decision to seek membership in the ICC is likely months away.

Palestinian officials said little was expected to change until Israel holds parliamentary elections on Jan. 22. Public opinion polls suggest Netanyahu is likely to win re-election at the head of a hardline coalition.

Palestinian officials said they were hopeful that Obama would present a comprehensive peace plan after the Israeli vote.

“If there is a meaningful peace process, we will join. If not, then we are taking the Palestinian cause to the international community,” said Husam Zomlot, a spokesman for Abbas.

The new Israeli settlement construction plans remain far from certain and may have been announced by Netanyahu to impress voters ahead of the election.

New figures from Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics show that Netanyahu has actually slowed settlement construction over the past year. The latest figures found that Israel began construction on 653 new settlement homes in the first nine months of 2012, down 26 percent from 886 housing starts during the same period a year earlier.

Israel insists that the Palestinians are responsible for the deadlock, accusing them of refusing to recognize Israel as the Jewish homeland and the Palestinian media of glorifying violence and promoting anti-Semitic caricatures.

Netanyahu said Abbas’ speech at the U.N., in which he accused Israel of “ethnic cleansing” and omitted any reference of the Jewish connection to the holy land, was filled with incitement and hate.

“This is additional proof that this is not a dispute over land but a denial of the existence of the State of Israel,” he said. “As long as the Palestinian Authority educates the younger generation to hate, how is it at all possible to talk about peace?”

  No, no, no! Call them what they are — squatters. They are not subhumans. Calling another human being, no matter how angry you are with them, leads to gas chambers and ovens. Subhumans (untermensch) was what the Nazis called the Jews!
  
  The Palestinians are not ethnically different fm the other Arabs in the surrounding Arab states fm whence they came. They are not Bedouin, which is the nomadic subgroup of Arabs. The Palestinians are Syrians, Iraqis, Egyptians, and Jordanians who did two unwise things. First, they emigrated fm home to work for the Brits during the days of the mandate. Secondly, they sold their holdings to Jews after WW2 but before the creation of the state of Israel. They “headed for higher ground” expecting the Arab armies to push the Jews into the sea, thus making it possible for them to have their former holdings back. They bought into “having your cake and eating it, too.”
  Then Arafat argued to the Arab states that they should not repatriate their own — the children of their laborers who went to work for the Brits. That left Lebanese, Syrians, Egyptians, and Jordanians ex-pats in legal limbo. The Israelis had already extended the offer of citizenship to Arabs who did not leave.
  Want to blame someone for the plight of the “Palestinian” Arabs? Blame Arafat and his successors. He engorged his bank accounts on the blood of his fellow Arabs. He himself was Egyptian w/familial ties to Jerusalem. His uncle was a Nazi sympathizer and gran

  You and I will disagree on this. Those boys who murdered the Fogel family were under the obvious influence of demonic powers. Islam’s god is none other than Lucifer. Their actions does not make them subhuman; it makes them sinners. In the Bible, one sin is as deadly as any other since any sin separates us fm our loving Creator, putting us in hell.
  
  Besides, what is a subhuman anyhow? A great ape? A monkey? Not even these animals behave as badly as a human bent on destruction.
  
  Remember also two things – 1) the father of the Fogels has forgiven the murderers and forgiveness does not mean a lessening of temporal punishment but a release of an eternal one; 2) if Israel can forgive and have relations w/Germany, real peace is quite possible!
  
  Furthermore, there is little that separates you and me fm the kind of conduct the Arabs engage in. This is why God gave the first born in Egypt, Ten Commandments, and Jesus Himself. Only when we decide to put God first can we escape the kind of conduct that infests the islamic world. When they are not preying upon non-muslims, they kill their own. Muslims are the first victims of islam.
  
  Pray for the muslims. They, the sons of Ishmael son of Abraham, MUST be reconciled to God before the Lord returns in Glory to mop up the last effects of sin and disobedience. So long as Ishmael is outside the tent, war will rule the world.
  
  Pray for your enemies. Pray for those who treat you badly.Unleash the power of God’s love on th

  Al — it’s what separates us and our conduct fm them and theirs.
  
  If you are in Christ, behave like it. That is not to say you lose your right of self-defense. It is to say that you love your enemies and separate the sin fm the sinner. Otherwise, your faith is empty and worthless. To paraphrase Paul in his letter to the Corinthians — I can display all the flashiest gifts of the Holy Spirit, but if I fail to display love (agape – self-giving/sacrificing love) it is for nothing!
  
  Israel does what is right — warns them to get civilians out of the way before it strikes military targets. A wholesale slaughter is not okay.
  
  God desires that a sinner turn fm his/her wickedness and live; not that he/she die in sin.

  I had to edit your post so that I could reply to it.
  I could not agree with you more in that we are to love our enemies however you should remember that a nation is different then an individual. I am not allowed to invade my neighbor’s house because he put his fence on my land or even if he fired a shot at my wall but a nation is allowed… King David is a great example of this.
  People often argue these issues from an INDIVIDUALS point of view and I don’t think it is any were near applicable. Israel should not kill all of the squatters but it should certainly evict them. That being said I would support it if Israel thought it was necessary to protect Israelis because God treats individuals differently from nations. A nation MUST protect it’s people! War is necessary at times and killing is part of that but I am not allowed to kill as an individual.
  I hope this is not clear as mud. I enjoyed your post and do not disagree with your premise.

  In 1948, 646,000 (80.1%) of the population in Israel were Jewish. During that same time, 160,000 (19.9%) of the population were Muslim. Clearly the Jews have roots there (going back to the covenant between God and Abraham) and have been responsible for the remarkable development in that country–both culturally and economically–since 1948. Before the Jews began repopulating Israel, the land was barren and primitive. The Lord blessed the Jews and made them prosperous which benefits both Jew and Muslim.

  Tzion — you are quite correct. The only times the Arabs have paid any attention to Jerusalem was when someone else wanted to be there. Jerusalem was nothing until Christian pilgrims wanted to be where Jesus had lived, died, and rose fm the dead. This caused the Crusades.
  
  No Arab has ever governed fm Jerusalem.
  
  Jerusalem is NOT in the koran either. Al Aqsa mosque is a reference to the furthest mosque fm Mecca, not a specific reference to Jerusalem.

  Look…Even if you are right and Mr. Netanyahu is just a globalist shill what difference would that make? We KNOW that the “Palestinians” are squatters and murders and that Israel has the right to defend her people. We KNOW that God is the author of history past and future. We KNOW that whoever blesses her will be blessed and whoever curses her will be cursed. We KNOW the end of this story and Israel, Jerusalem and the temple mount are at the heart of it and will remain in Israeli hands!
  I don’t care if Bibi is a globalist because I know that God is in control. I support Israel because I support God and what is in His agenda!

A prophecy, August 5, 1977: “Now is the time, and shortly the reign, of the Anti-Christ. We are here for the preparation and the coming of the Messiah, that the mark shall not be cast upon God’s children.” [See The Revelation, chapters 7, 10, 13, 14:14-18, 15:2-4, chapter 19, 20:1-6, 20:11-14, and chapters 21-22.]…
“We should say unto you, there are those who call themselves Palestenes, Palestines. They should seek a country of their own. This is not all they seek, for within them and among them they harbor the Anti-Christ. Should the Eagle [U.S.A.] not spread its wings and protect Israel, woe be your land, for his reign shall be four and one-half years.
We have told you that both the Anti-Christ and the Christ, the true Christ, is upon your land….”
“At the same time you shall feel the presence begin to grow among you of the Messiah.
It is not yet time that the Eagle shall spread his wings, for we are not through with our work. But your country, the Eagle [USA], should coveth Israel — not in such a manner that would harm her, but that would giver her strength. For remember, in their greatest time of need, they shall kneel before the Messiah.”

  How about we stave off the war rhetoric and let people make their own choices and be responsible for the results?
  
  Abraham dealt equitably with Lot and did not go to war. This argument is silly and is none of the US concern. Furthermore, there’s nothing in the Constitution permitting us to intervene. Nor do the founders pretend there is any such pretext for war in their writings. This is a modern day globalist war, not some ancient oath we are bound to adhere to. Our ancestors avoided war, they didn’t stir it up such as the neo-cons of today are doing.

A prophecy, September 20, 1975: “New wars loom closely at hand. We say unto you, as the Eagle [U.S.A.] should replenish its growth and become young again, so it must protect this land of Jerusalem.
Once before, in the land of Rome, the eagle was carried as a banner, and misinterpreted. You are the modern Romans, founded on the same principle of freedom and justice unto all, one nation under God. There are many who would destroy it and take away this freedom. Let not that happen. But it cannot be preserved by becoming radical, distrusting thy neighbors. For soon, if this would happen, you could not even trust yourselves.”

Jerusalem is the Capital of Israel and “Palestine” is not Country-State. Israel won the war (Six Day War) 45 years ago, in which the PLO attacked them first. Israel doesn’t have to give anything back, and yet they did. The Palestinians “thanks them” by attacking Israel from what was given back.

Ahh I know why, because they want to sic the UN(which might as well rename itself the United Arab Nations) on Israel the next time they defend themselves from countless rocket attacks…

Sorta like how hitler invaded poland because he had a bunch of german prisoners dressed up in polish army uniforms pretend to invade germany, then shortly afterwards he shot the prisoners and had a mock polish propaganda guy blare fake calls for war on a radio station that was also nearby…

Arafat died of aids and it was proved by toxicology at the time that he was not poisoned…now the arab nations dig him up and try to create their own tests. Then the u.n. (which has no authority) is trying to give a country (owned by Israel) to the nomads known as palestinians.
We need to be behind Israel in their war against these terrorists and we need to be against the u.n. – they need to be out of america and we need to quit giving these terrorists supporters any money!

Yes. One day a young palestinian will raise the palestinian flag over Jerusalem………and get his azz kicked like a soccer ball by the Israeli Police because Jerusalem nor even part of it will ever be owned by Palestine.

Get ready people because Isaiah 17:1, Isaiah 19, Zech 12, Psalm 83 are all about to take place and somewhere in all this the resurrection/rapture will happen http://youtu.be/ahEVxIzlxwo and all that will be left is the left behind world

It is time to become a believer before you are left behind to live through the 7 year tribulation where God will kill 1/3 to 2/3 of the worlds population through His wrath

Romans 10;9-10, John 3:18, Rev 3:10

  @rapturcomes. No man knows how many days he has. Why worry about “the rapture” when one does not even know if they will see the new year. Anyway when do you think the Trib. will start and why do you think believers will be removed before?

  The 7 year tribulation starts when the anti christ signs or enforces a 7 year peace treaty on behalf on the many with Israel Daniels 9:27
  
  Rev 3:10 Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
  
  This verse is crystal clear as is 1 Thes 1:10
  and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead–Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.
  
  These AFTER RAPTURE PACKETS will reach out and touch many during the 7 year tribulation

  @Rapture. Neither verse says the “Church” will be removed before the trib. The Revelation verse comes from one of the letters to the 7 churches. My faith comesfrom God’s Love not from fear.
