Such is the sad state of “education” at The Ohio State University. “Young skulls full of mush” accepting whatever lie is spoon fed to them. Humans have gained control of land by many methods since the dawn of humanity. Once gained, land is controlled until someone else wanting said land takes and controls it, almost universally by force of arms and will. Israel, the Kingdom/nation and its people, have ancient origins and history contained within their religious faith and sacred texts. Belief in Judaism is not required in understanding its role in Jewish history and life.

The geographic area today called “Palestine,” is the region of Palestine, generally defined as a geographic region in Western Asia between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River, and various adjoining lands. Situated at a strategic location between Egypt, Syria and Arabia, and the birthplace of major Abrahamic religions[1] the region has a long and tumultuous history as a crossroads for religion, culture, commerce, and politics. Palestine has been controlled by numerous different peoples, including the Ancient Egyptians, Canaanites, Philistines, Tjekker, Ancient Israelites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Ancient Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, early Muslims (Umayads, Abbasids, Seljuqs, Fatimids), Crusaders, later Muslims (Ayyubids, Mameluks, Ottomans), the British, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (1948–1967, on the “West Bank”) and Egyptian Republic (in Gaza), and modern Israelis and Palestinians. Other terms for the same area include Canaan, Zion, the Land of Israel, Southern Syria, Jund Filastin, Outremer, the Holy Land and the Southern Levant.

Regardless of any and all “ancient claims,” Great Britain and the United Nations ended the “British Mandate” control of the region and proposed two nation States, Israel and Palestine, in 1948. “Israel” accepted the proposal and declared Jewish independence within the proposed boundaries of the “two States.” The “Palestinians” rejected the proposal and several existing Arab States declared war upon Israel. Israel has defended its territory despite repeated wars of aggression by her Arab neighbor States. In every war brought to Israel by her Arab neighbors, Israel has triumphed. As in all wars boundaries often change, victors gaining territory and the defeated losing territory. Territory lost in war is not “occupied land,” it is the prize of the victors. Israel will never again be driven from its land. The so-called “Palestinians” most of whom entered the area from “Trans-Jordan,” have been both willing and unwilling “pawns” of those who will never accept the existence of Israel.

The “plight of the Palestinians,” is caused by the refusal of Arabs and Persians to accept peace. Were I the government of Israel I would make one last Declaration; Our borders are as they are today. However, any land caused to be controlled by Israel due to all future aggression shall become the new borders of Israel. No such land shall ever again be relinquished.

Ohio State students calling themselves the Committee for Justice in Palestine are clearly ignorant of history and facts. Or worse, like the so-called “Palestinians,” they also have made themselves pawns of radicals and extremists whose sole goal is the genocide of the Nation of Israel and its people. There is no “moral equivalency” between the Jewish State and its peaceful people who hold life as sacred, and the murderous thugs and terrorists calling themselves Palestinians and Muslims, who specifically target innocent Jewish civilian men, women, and children.

These are the facts these students at OSU are either ignorant of, or choose to ignore.
