A mixed trio of Norwegian players vindicate a “right of return” for Palestinian refugees. If realised, it will mean that Palestinians will outnumber and oust the Israelis.

The Socialist Left Party (SLP), the state church organ Inter-Church Council of the Church of Norway, and the humanitarian organisation Norwegian People’s Aid are all singing from the same hymn sheet. They join the choir from the Arab League in decrying Israel as the aggressor repressing all Palestinians who seek the ultimate refuge in Israel. Norway’s loosely formed anti-Zionist alliance is illustrative of an all-pervading phenomenon to neutralise Israel. But the myth concerning the Palestinian people’s plight has taken on gargantuan proportions worldwide.

A myth always morphs out of a lie. Lies are birthed out of man’s affair with the father of lies, Satan. The origin of the Palestinian people myth is, however, based on the true story of a seafaring people.

Norway had the Vikings. Crete had the Philistines. Just like their North Sea counterparts the Philistine sea rovers invaded and pillaged foreign lands. Around 1185 B.C. they assumed control of a stretch of land in ancient Israel establishing Philistia comprising the coastal cities of Gaza, Ashkelon, Ashdod, and the inland cities of Ekron and Gath. They were a constant menace to God’s people, the Israelites.

After the Roman destruction of Judea and dispersion of the Jews, the entire region was designated “Syria Palaestina”, later shortened to “Palestine”. On May 14, 1948, the Jewish Agency proclaimed independence, renaming the country “Israel” – God strives, God persists.

The modern day Philistine usurpers call themselves Palestinians and have inherited the role of nemesis to all Israelis. The two P words have the same root meaning – illegal aliens, intruders. It is telling that “Palestinian” in Arabic is “Filastin”. In the 1960s Yasser Arafat and the Palestinian Liberation Organisation began generating the narrative of the “Palestinian people” for the sole purpose of scoring global and political propaganda points. They were playing out a grisly Arabic version of Peter Pan with his Lost Boys in Never Never Land.

The Israelis are quite wary of geopolitical fairy tales. On June 15, 1969, Israel’s Prime Minister Golda Meïr made a definitive statement in the Sunday Times: “There is no such thing as a Palestinian people … It is not as if we came and threw them out and took their country. They didn’t exist”.

That brings us to the sticky issue of “Palestinian refugees” and their “right of return”. Between 1947 and 1949 the number of Arabs who fled Eretz Israel due to neighbouring Arab warmongering and warfare is estimated to be some 650,000. According to the United Nations, any Arab guest worker who happened to have resided in Palestine between June 1, 1946, and May 15, 1948, acquired the unique status of “refugee”. The creation of a dedicated UN refugee agency for the Palestinians, hiding behind the acronym UNWRA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency), ensured that all Arabs who remained in Israel were also identified as “refugees”.

This unprecedented move was a mockery of what it means to be a refugee, that is to say, someone not in his/her home country but in a totally different country. To top it all off, UNWRA now presides over a refugee population incorporating all the descendants of the original refugees; their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and so on. We are currently in the fourth generation of refugee descendants, each one exponentially increasing the refugee count. The figure is somewhere between four and six million. No one really knows – or cares.

An influx of millions of Arabs to the Promised Land will amount to a demographic disaster for the Israeli population. Tensions are high with the 1.5 million resident Arabs already in Israel. These are like the cuckoo bird occupying the warbler’s nest. The in-nest cuckoo is about to be joined by three or four other cuckoos. These brood parasites will try to squeeze out their host. But the Israeli warbler knows how to sing for its life.

There are three simple reasons to sing out. Firstly, the “right of return” is already forfeited because of the time factor. By way of example, do the Finnish refugees from 1944 defend a right of return to Karelia? No, and why on earth should they? Can any other obsolete group of refugees claim their “right”? Secondly, a prolonged ethnic and religious conflict is a perfectly sensible reason as to why it is ill-advised to aggravate the situation by opening up for a free-for-all immigration policy. Thirdly, Palestinian Arabs have long since settled down in their present day country of choice.

No amount of propaganda from the refugee “camps” is going to sway public opinion in Israel. Even prominent “doves” like Yossi Sarid, former leader of Meretz-Yachad, the Israeli equivalent of Norway’s SLP, connoted “right of return” with “suicide”. Leftist writers like Amos Oz, Abraham Yehoshua and Meir Shalev admit that if Israel yields to the “right of return” it would spell out the end of the State of Israel. The “right to return” is merely a euphemism for the obliteration of Israel and the absolute demise of Jewish sovereignty. It would lead to the Prima Mater of ethnic cleansing.

The Palestinian refugee problem is a main feature of the false peace and justice movement that is at present emerging and framing our world. It paves a yellow-brick road for the Anti-Christ and the False Prophet to trample upon. When Messiah comes, Israel’s Arab guest population, who happen to survive the Second Coming, will be banished.

For the people using the world stage name “Palestinians”, the God-ordained “boundaries of their dwellings”, according to the Torah, is to the east of Israel. Eretz Israel is God’s own grandstand seat in the stadium of nations, exclusively reserved for regrafted Jews and grafted Gentiles.

Jew-despising Norwegian politicians and theologians will, in due time, suffer the same fate as their Palestinian-friendly roadmaps, “Oslo 1” and “Oslo 2”. Divine shredding by Jesus Himself.
