The "pro-Palestinians" have no good arguments

It is politically correct to say that the Israel-Palestinian dispute is complex and that both sides make valid points. It is not true. The "pro-Palestinian" points are lies.

The “pro-Palestinian” crowd make plenty of noise but do not have any valid points.

Whenever there is a dispute, acknowledging both sides’ grievances, looking for common ground and searching for solutions is a natural and reasonable approach. However, it presupposes that both sides have some valid points.

This is often true, but not in the case of the Israel-Palestinian conflict, where greater knowledge invariably leads to a more pro-Israel position.

The inverse is also true. The most “pro-Palestinian” people are unfailingly the most ignorant of those pesky little things called facts. The Dunning-Kruger effect seems to be in full-swing as most “pro-Palestinian” supporters do not grasp the immensity of their ignorance.

Once you parse the facts from the lies, it is stunning how few good points the anti-Israel blockheads can muster.

It is not that the Israel-Palestinian conflict is not complex; it is fiendishly so. It is that the conflict, by Palestinian design, is not what the anti-Israel brigade believes it to be, or wants it to be.

The Palestinian narrative rests upon a foundational myth that Palestinians are from Palestine; then Jews came in from all over the world, occupied the land, forced them out, established the Jewish state, and have been dispossessing and persecuting the Palestinians ever since.

Yet, it is all untrue, meaning that most “pro-Palestinian” arguments are meritless.


Bad Argument #1: The Palestinians are indigenous to the land.

This is rubbish. The Arabs who today call themselves Palestinians are not from Palestine.

There is a clue in the name. Arabs are from Arabia, just as the Israelites were from Israel. Jews are from…wait for it…you will never guess…Judea.
