Between 1948-1967, Jordan occupied and annexed Judea & Samaria (West Bank) in 1950, integrating it into the Hashemite Kingdom and granting citizenship to many Palestinians. It did not create a separate Palestinian state.
Egypt administered Gaza without establishing one.
The PLO, founded 1964 by the Arab League, adopted a charter rejecting the 1947 partition and calling for liberation of all Mandatory Palestine via armed struggle against Israel—not state-building in Arab-controlled territories. Pan-Arab priorities and Jordanian suppression of separatism prevailed.
On This Day — June 5, 1948
In April 1948, 22-year-old Robert F. Kennedy traveled through British Mandate Palestine & saw: Jerusalem had a clear Jewish majority & Arab forces were openly preparing to annihilate every Jew the moment the British left.
This day, one of his dispatches from the Land of Israel was published in the Boston Post, capturing the grim reality:
“The City of Jerusalem has more Jews than Arabs but the immediate surrounding territory is predominately Arab … It is by this road [from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem] that the Jewish population within Jerusalem must be supplied, but it is fantastically easy for the Arabs to ambush a convoy …”
He added with chilling detail:
“The Arabs … would poison [the water]. The Jews … had a central water system installed … Unfortunately for them, the reservoir is situated in the mountains and it and the whole pipeline are controlled by the Arabs.”
RFK saw British troops disarming Jewish convoys while thousands of Iraqi, Syrian, Lebanese, and Transjordanian Arab soldiers poured in unmolested.
He watched the Haganah fighting desperately to keep the Tel Aviv–Jerusalem road open — calling it “our battle of the Atlantic” — because without it, Jerusalem’s Jews would have been starved or slaughtered.
With brutal clarity, the young Bobby Kennedy documented what so many still deny today: the Jews were not the aggressors. They were fighting for their ancient homeland “as of right and not on sufferance,” rebuilding a desolate land while Arab forces and British obstruction tried to crush them.
A 22-year-old future U.S. Attorney General and Senator saw the truth with his own eyes: the Jews were simply the ones refusing to die.
Thomas Massie: “There is zero evidence that Iran was trying to build a nuclear weapon, Netanyahu is warmongering.”
The Deputy Speaker of the Iranian Parliament: “We tried to develop nuclear weapons, but couldn't keep it secret.”
So the flotilla activists were rightly and justly held by Israel, though for just half a day, then released and deported. And the world went into complete meltdown. Outrage went to delirious levels.
Now the same flotilla activists have been detained and imprisoned in Libya for the past 10 days, and that prison term has been extended significantly.
And the reaction from the world?
Total silence. Not a peep.
Weird huh? 🤔
BREAKING: Just an hour after Trump said he spoke to Hezbollah and they agreed to stop firing, they launched a massive barrage of rockets at Israel civilians.
Unbelievable. And somehow Israel will still be blamed.
Kung tatlong beses ka nang nakulong dahil sa plunder sa magkakaibang administrasyon, hindi pamumulitika ang tawag diyan.
KAWATAN KA TALAGA, JINGGOY ESTRADA.
Dalawang beses ka na nakalaya, sana gumawa ka na ng tama kaso nagnakaw ka pa ring kupal ka. Dasurb.
May problema talaga tayo as a nation kasi who votes for a 3-time plunderer into office at halos kalahati ng mga senador eh sangkot sa corruption at krimen. 🥲
(Kakalimutan pa ba natin na 'yung presidente eh anak ng diktador at 'yung bise eh anak ng mamamatay-tao).
Remember the European Hospital in Khan Younis last May?
Israel struck a targeted site there, and the world lost its mind.
Palestinians denied any tunnel existed underneath. The UN and European governments rushed to condemn Israel for attacking a “hospital.” Outrage, headlines, accusations of war crimes… the usual script.
Then June came.
The IDF took international media into the very same location and showed them the tunnel… a full Hamas command center, right under the emergency room.
Weapons, rooms, infrastructure. And yes, that’s where they found and confirmed the body of Mohammed Sinwar, Hamas’s top military commander and brother of Yahya Sinwar.
The strike that killed one of the architects of October 7 was surgically precise, and entirely justified.
Under the Geneva Conventions of 1949, hospitals and other medical facilities lose their protected status when they are used for military purposes, such as command centers, weapon storage, or troop movements. By deliberately turning the European Hospital into a Hamas base, the terrorists themselves stripped it of any legal protection.
Not a single apology from the UN or the European governments that rushed to condemn Israel. Not one admission they were wrong. They simply moved on to the next round of accusations.
This is the pattern. Hamas hides its terror infrastructure under civilian sites, uses hospitals as shields, and the international community reliably attacks the defender for responding, only to be proven wrong again and again and again when the evidence emerges.
How many times does this have to happen before the world stops falling for it?
People believe that because 700,000 Palestinians were displaced in an Arab war 80 years ago that today they're entitled to wage massacres, bomb busses, hijack planes, and recruit activists for a global intifada.
People also believe that because 9 million Jews were displaced in WW2 and 6 million of them were exterminated and nearly another million were ethnically cleansed by Arabs, that they're entitled to no self defense or sovereignty and that “their victim card expired."
This is the confluence of the racism of low expectations and raw antisemitism.
mga pinoy, grabe naman iyong three plunder cases and still we’re electing him????
kailan tayo matututo????????????
ayaw niyo ng mahabang pila sa MRT, ayaw niyo ng mataas na tax pero ganitong tao binoboto natin?????
Muslims didn’t originally call Jerusalem “Al-Quds.”
For centuries they called it Bayt al-Maqdis (بيت المقدس) — a direct Arabic translation of the Hebrew Beit HaMikdash (“House of the Sanctuary / Jewish Temple”).
The 10th-century Muslim geographer al-Maqdisi (literally “the one from Bayt al-Maqdis”) used it as the city’s name. Early Islamic sources even called the Dome of the Rock itself Bayt al-Maqdis.
This 1,000-year-old Arabic inscription from Nuba (near Hebron) proves it beyond doubt:
“This territory ... is an endowment to the Rock of Bayt al-Maqdis and the al-Aqsa Mosque, as it was dedicated by the Commander of the Faithful, Umar ibn al-Khattab”
They built their shrine on the ruins of the Jewish Temple — and openly named it after the Jewish Temple.
Modern Temple Mount denial isn’t history.
It’s blatant political erasure.
Sorry not sorry that Jewish indigeneity became so inconvenient for your narrative.
Hamas terrorists are firing mortars from tents in civilian clothing.
When Israel kills them, Hamas claims they were just innocent civilians.
It was all propaganda from the beginning.
Something is deeply shocking me, some people who call themselves “human rights activists” speak endlessly about Palestinian rights, yet won’t utter a single word about Hamas’s brutality against Palestinians. Not just silence, they actively cover for it.
Spare us the hypocrisy.
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.
“I always said I was anti-Zionist but not antisemitic”
Taryn Thomas used to join campus protests at Stanford where students called Israel’s war with Hamas a genocide.
Then, she attended the Nova exhibit, and learned for the first time about what actually happened on October 7th.
Now, she realizes, those protests “had already decided how the story was going to end,” before Israel even responded to the massacre.
This is exactly why Free Palestine protests the Nova exhibit wherever it opens.
They are afraid that if more people learn the truth, their movement will run out of support.

Jewish hostage Evyatar David was forced to dig his own grave in Gaza.
Skin and bones. Starved. Broken. Humiliated for propaganda.
Meanwhile, some unemployed Western “activist” is doing media interviews about how “traumatizing” it was to be briefly detained in Israel.
The moral collapse of the West is watching privileged narcissists compare themselves to actual hostages tortured by terrorists.
My name is Dor Shahar. I was born under the name Ayman Abu Suboh in the Gaza Strip, in Khan Yunis, to a Palestinian Muslim family. I was a neighbor of Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif, and Yahya Ayyash. At home, at school, and in the mosque, we were taught to murder Jews and Christians, the https://t.co/uhP0e6zR7K, I am a Jew living in Israel, and I want the citizens of Israel to know the truth: 99% of Palestinians are terrorists who want to murder Jews. Their target is not a leftist, a rightist, secular, or religious, Ashkenazi or Sephardic—their only goal is to kill infidels. They look at all of you as infidels. It doesn't matter who you are—whether you are a Bibist or a Kaplanist, whether you are secular, Ashkenazi, Sephardic, right-wing, or left-wing.I warned about what the Palestinians were going to do to the Jews, from top to bottom. Nobody listened to me. Some blocked me on social media, and they even considered arresting me at night if I didn't shut up. I even went to the Knesset to warn them about October 7th, but unfortunately, nobody listened. As they say, everyone thought they knew better. And then October 7th happened.Bibists, Kaplanists, right-wing, left-wing, religious, secular, Ashkenazi, Sephardic—when a terrorist comes to murder a Jew, he doesn't care about your opinions or who you are. The terrorists murdered leftists, right-wingers, religious, secular, Ashkenazi, and Sephardic people just because they are Jewish 'infidels.'I want you to understand one thing: we are one nation, one country, and one religion. Let’s be united and love one another. We can disagree, but love must be between us. And believe me, when there is real love between us—that is absolute victory. I love the entire Jewish people, and I don't care what their opinions are.Happy Holiday and lots of love to everyone! 🇮🇱❤️.
