Even Arab leaders admit it.

Everyone is sharing the Bill Clinton clip where he describes how Yasser Arafat rejected a generous peace offer at Camp David that would have given the Palestinians a state on 96 percent of the West Bank, land swaps, and a capital in East Jerusalem. Clinton says Arafat lied to him and that the Palestinian leadership never actually wanted a two-state solution. They wanted to destroy Israel. It’s a video often shared by people like @VividProwess, and it’s an important one for people to see.

Of course, critics immediately dismiss it. They claim Clinton is biased or he’s pro-Israel. They’ll tell you that you cannot trust the American perspective.

Ok, so let us set that aside.

Now watch this.

In this powerful interview, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a major Arab leader who was directly involved in negotiations, says exactly the same thing from the Arab side. He talks about the Mena House Conference in Cairo as well as the Camp David negotiations of 1978. All failed because of the Palestinians repeatedly rejecting any offer. The Oslo accords were signed but because Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not involved, they derailed the accords and any chance for peace by initiating 4 years of terrorist suicide attacks in Israel. Then came the second Camp David negotiations in 2000 which Arafat agreed to, then rejected and instead initiated the Second Intifada.

Mubarak explains how the Palestinians refused to even participate in the Mena House conference of 1977. He describes repeated opportunities they were given, including a detailed document that called for Israeli withdrawal from the Samaria, Judea and Gaza, security arrangements during a transitional period, and other major concessions. The Israelis were willing to negotiate on difficult issues like who would control security. The Palestinians, according to Mubarak, kept saying no and wasting chance after chance.

He speaks with clear frustration about how for decades the Palestinian side has rejected peace initiatives and realistic compromises.

The video further shows footage from the PLO representative in 1977, as well as old footage of Egyptian president Sadat who was involved in the Mena House and first Camp David negotiations of 1978.

This perhaps is far more impactful than Clinton’s account because it is not a Western or Israeli voice. It is prominent Arab leaders who lived the negotiations, who represented the broader Arab world, and who had zero incentive to defend Israel.

When leaders from both sides of the table describe the same pattern of Palestinian rejectionism and violence, it becomes much harder to dismiss as bias.

The pattern is clear across decades and across different voices… generous offers, repeated refusals, and continued demands for everything while giving nothing in return.

This is not ancient history. It is the core reason the conflict continues today.

If you value the truth, please share.

Israel produced forensic evidence, videos, and 1000s of photos documenting the sexual violence of Oct 7.

The world stayed silent.

A handful of activists get off a boat making up sexual abuse claims against Israel.

And it becomes headline news.

Make it make sense.

Miracles do indeed happen 🤭

A young German female activist from the latest Gaza flotilla was filmed by media in a neck-brace with her face looking “bruised and battered”, her expression tearful and “traumatized” after being held for a few hours in Israel.

But then…. The Miracle 🤣

Just a couple of hours later, the same young German female activist was filmed perfectly fine, bouncing around, smiling and cheering… no bruises, no marks, no neck-brace, no injuries, no anything in fact.

It is simply incredible the superhuman powers of recovery she showed. Even Wolverine and the X-Men would be jealous 😂

Terwijl de "Palestijnen" blijven beweren dat de Joden hen in 1948 uit Palestina hebben verdreven, bewijst dit document precies het tegenovergestelde.

De Joden vroegen de Arabieren NIET te vertrekken, maar de Arabische leiders stonden erop de Arabische bevolking uit Palestina te evacueren.

Waarom?

Omdat de omliggende Arabische staten van plan waren de nieuwe staat Israël aan te vallen, te vernietigen en vervolgens de vertrokken Arabieren terug te sturen.

Lees dit document, geschreven door de Britse districtscommissaris Haifa Dant van Beline Linifa, in april 1948 aandachtig door:

"De Joden hebben de Arabieren opgeroepen hun winkels en bedrijven te heropenen om de problemen met het voeden van de Arabische bevolking te verlichten.

De evacuatie was gisteren nog steeds aan de gang en er werden verschillende tochten per 'Z'-vaartuig naar Akko gemaakt.

Ook de wegen stonden vol met mensen die Haifa met al hun bezittingen verlieten.

Tijdens een bijeenkomst gisterenmiddag herhaalden Arabische leiders hun vastberadenheid om de gehele Arabische bevolking te evacueren. Om de evacuatie te ondersteunen, hebben ze vanochtend tien militaire vrachtwagens van 3 ton geleend.

De enige "Nakba" (ramp) van de "Palestijnen" is dat de Arabieren er niet in geslaagd zijn Israël te vernietigen.

[Yossi BenYakar @YossiBenYakar]

Top British attorney Natasha Hausdorff stunned the audience by completely destroying the Palestinian narrative about the conflict. The truth the world refuses to accept:

Palestine never existed as a sovereign Arab state.
The British Mandate of Palestine was a British territory taken from the defeated Ottoman Empire after 1917. Jews lived continuously in the Holy Land for centuries — long before modern Zionism. They were the majority in Jerusalem under Ottoman rule. Jews legally bought desert land (including the area that became Tel Aviv) and turned it into thriving cities and kibbutzim. Not a single Arab was displaced by these purchases.

The Arabs rejected the 1947 UN partition plan and launched war to destroy the newborn Jewish state. They lost. During that war, Arab armies ordered local Arabs to flee so they could “push the Jews into the sea.” Many did exactly that.

Israel has never committed genocide. It has fought for survival against repeated attempts to commit genocide against the Jewish people. Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran’s regime are the real obstacles to peace in the Middle East.

The historical facts are clear. The propaganda is not.

Share this. The truth needs to be heard.

Just look at what ISRAEL has built to keep Palestinians out! 7 layers of border wall, and they’ll shoot anyone who tries to cross.

… Oh wait.

This isn’t Israel. This is EGYPT. This is the Egypt-Gaza border.

But if we say “Israel,” maybe you’ll care.

@KEEilertsen Vi må ta en diskusjon om overføringer til FN. Utfordringen er vel at FN systemet representerer muligheter for norske eks politikere til å heve skattefrie multi million inntekter.

Dagens situasjon kort oppsummert:

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

Spain in 1492: Expelled, killed, or forcibly converted all Jews.

Spain during the Holocaust: Closely aligned with the Nazis.

Spain after the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust: Accuses Israel of genocide.

Spain last year: Refused to grant asylum to Palestinians fleeing Gaza.

Spain after recognizing a Palestinian state: Refused to move its embassy to the Palestinian territories because its diplomats didn’t want to give up the “standard of living and security” they enjoyed in Israel.

Spain last summer: Called the police to remove 50 French Jewish teenagers from a Vueling flight after hearing one word in Hebrew.

Spain today: Officially withdrew its ambassador from Israel, but left its embassy in Tehran.

Now that is what being on the wrong side of history looks like. 🤦‍♂️

Bill Clinton: “Palestinians were offered a state on the entire West Bank and east Jerusalem as its capital. Israel accepted, but Palestinians refused. They did not care about a homeland for the Palestinians. All they wanted was to kill Israelis"

This must be shared every day.

@Anduril100 Men får dette noen konsekvenser? Hadde dette vært i det private næringslivet hadde han blitt kastet ut. Å være økonomisk med sannheten lønner seg i politikken.
