The patriarchs of the original Sephardi Jews that lived in Israel were not given any input into the Balfour Agreement that created the country of Israel. It was crafted by Ashkenazi Jews who came from Europe. These original Separdis wanted a two state solution since the had lived peaceably but separately with their Arab neighbors for centuries. They stated as such but were purposefully ignored.

Netanyahu, like his right- and left-wing predecessors, has been guided by his ideological guru, Ze’ev Jabotinsky, who published almost a century ago his revisionist treatise, “The Iron Wall”, advising the Zionist leaders to do all to snuff out any glimmer of Palestinian hope that they might be able to prevent the transformation of “Palestine” into the “Land of Israel”.

Jabotinsky argued that the Palestinians are no fools to be deceived or bribed into giving up their homelands to the Jewish newcomers, and no reward would ever be enough to compensate them for the loss of their homeland, and therefore, they must be driven into total despair by coercion or force.

A century ago, in November 1923, Jabotinsky used these words .“There can be no voluntary agreement between ourselves and the Palestine Arabs […] it is utterly impossible to obtain the voluntary consent of the Palestine Arabs for converting ‘Palestine’ from an Arab country into a country with a Jewish majority,” Jabotinsky wrote.“Every native population in the world resists colonists as long as it has the slightest hope of being able to rid itself of the danger of being colonised”.

I am with you I stand with humanity. I hope for a proper, truthful and realistic understanding of Israel's history, and a move by the world, including America, towards a two state solution as soon as possible.
