409 word summary
Benjamin Netanyahu explains the rationale for the moral and political justification of Israel's existence. He starts by discussing the historical connection of the Jewish people to the land of Israel, dating back 3500 years. He highlights that for the first 2000 years, they lived in the land described in the Bible. However, in the seventh century, the Arab conquest took place, and the Jews gradually became a minority in their own land. Netanyahu emphasizes that throughout history, the Jews never gave up their dream of returning to their ancestral homeland.
He refutes the claim that Palestinians were there first, stating that the land was barren when the Jews returned in the nineteenth century. He mentions that Christian Zion support played a role in the Jews' return and the establishment of farms, factories, and places of employment. Arabs from nearby countries immigrated and later started calling themselves Palestinians. Netanyahu asserts that while Palestinians can live in Israel, it is ultimately the Jewish people's land.
Netanyahu addresses the idea that Palestinians were displaced by Jews and explains it as a complete perversion of history and justice. He argues that the Jews have a right to a state, as they never gave up their dream of returning to their ancestral home. He criticizes the Palestinians for trying to destroy Israel and denying the Jewish people's historical connection to the land.
The conversation then shifts to why the idea that Palestinians were there first gained traction in the West. Netanyahu attributes it to ignorance and provides evidence to debunk this claim. He mentions that Jerusalem was the Jewish capital 3000 years ago and brings up accounts from famous visitors like Mark Twain and Arthur Pen Stanley who described Palestine as a barren wasteland in the late nineteenth century.
Netanyahu concludes that there has been a fabrication of history, stating that Palestinians were not there before Jews and that the biggest lie is to claim otherwise. He highlights that the Jewish people brought life back to the land, attracting Arab immigration, which later became known as Palestinians. He criticizes the Palestinians for denying Jewish history and pushing a false narrative.
In summary, Netanyahu asserts the moral and political justification for Israel's existence, emphasizing the historical connection of the Jewish people to the land of Israel. He refutes the claim that Palestinians were there first, providing evidence to debunk this notion. Netanyahu argues that the Palestinians are denying Jewish history and perpetuating a false narrative.
