The US State Department funds, to the tune of half a billion dollars a year, a Palestinian Authority/ UNRWA educational curriculum based upon the ideology of the RIGHT OF RETURN which indoctrinates half a million Arab school children learn in UNRWA schools to conquer Palestine, all of Palestine, by force of arms.

Yet the US secretary of state had the audacity, on December 28, 2016, to pontificate one hour and eleven minutes in which he simply lied about PLO and Arab League implicit recognition of Israel, as if he does not know that the PLO remains in a full state of war with Israel, albeit in stages, as if he does not know that the Arab League’s conditions for a peace with Israel involve conditions that no Israeli government can ever accept- relinquishment of control of the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem and the recognition of the principle of Arab right of return to Arab villages that existed before 1948

The US secretary of State knows full well that neither the Saudis nor the Arab League are ready to cancel their state of war with Israel, as declared in 1948.

Any journalist or any diplomat can call the embassies of the Arab league and the Saudi Kingdom and ask if they maintain their war with Israel. Keep it simple. Remember: Saudi Arabia is the only Arab state that attacked Israel in 1948 which never agreed to a cease fire. I have called both numbers and get a clear answer. Their war with Israel continues. The US Secretary of State does not know that?

And what about the PA/UNRWA war education system? I am not referring to instances of incitement. The question concerns the entire school curriculum which was imposed on Palestinian Arab school children by the PA and UNRWA, with the generous funding of the US and other Western nations. Does the US Secretary of State not know about the US funded PA/UNRWA curriculum which rejects the notion of a Jewish and Arab State living side by side?

In July 2015, I met with the highest policy official who advises the US Secretary of State, the man who oversees all matters dealing with the PA and UNRWA.

He looked me straight in the face and said that the PA school books used by UNRWA advance peace and reconciliation.

Following that meeting, I asked Israeli and Arab experts to purchase, translate and evaluate all of the school books used in the PA and UNRWA schools.

Their work confirmed that there had been no change whatsoever in the PA/UNRWA school books of war. We shared our findings with the US embassy in Tel Aviv in January , 2016.

Yet when our experts arrived to brief staff of the Middle East subcommittee in the US House of Representatives in March 2016, the US state department issued a statement which repeated the notion that the US evaluated the textbooks used to educate the next generation of Arab school children in US funded schools had been vetted by the US government that PA/UNRWA school books advance peace.

Yet representatives of US AID, which administers funds for PA and UNRWA schools, met with us in August 2016 and made it clear that they never examine the school books used in these schools.

Indeed, we have letters from US AID on file from 2004 and 2009 which clearly state that the US builds their schools and that it is not in their mandate to examine their curriculum.

So there you have it.

The US secretary of state functions in a self imposed bubble, which ensures that the czar of US foreign policy will have no idea as to what he is talking about when he assures the world that the PLO, working through the PA, will coexist with the state of Israel.

  1. Look up The Lodge-Fish Resolution of September 21, 1922, was a Joint Resolution passed by both houses of the U.S. Congress and signed by President Warren Harding, endorsing the Balfour Declaration with slight variations. This made the text of the Joint Resolution part of the law of the United States until this very day.

    “Resolved by the Senate and House of representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that the United states of America favors the establishment in Palestine of a national Home for the Jewish people…”

    confirming the irrevocable right of Jews to settle in the area of Palestine — anywhere between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea:

    Under American Law when a joint resolution is passed by both the Senate and the House of Representatives in an identical form and then signed by the President, it becomes the Law of the U.S.

    7. Both the Lodge-Fish Resolution and the Anglo American Convention underwent the above noted process (see point 6). Therefore reconstituting Palestine as a National Homeland for the Jewish People worldwide and recognizing their historical connection to the land became part of US LAW.

    Any attempt to negate the Jewish people’s right to Palestine — Eretz-Israel — and to deny them access and control in the area designated for the Jewish people by the League of Nations is an actionable infringement of both international law and the Supremacy Clause (Article VI, paragraph 2 of the United States Constitution), which dictates that Treaties “shall be the supreme Law of the Land”.

  2. Kerry is a stupid ass. He believes what he said in his speech! He ignore the fact that the Fatah charter still calls for the dissolution of Israel. Despite Arafat’s promis to Bill Clinton that Fatah would change the charter.
