The Gaza war showed us how much some European countries have revealed their true colors. These countries, which suddenly all fall on Israel, seem to forget the massacres in Europe during World War II and how much the Jews suffered there. In Arab countries they were driven out, or they left because of the unbearable atmosphere. Yet the Jews had lived for centuries in these countries and never rebelled, always appreciating and thanking the country that had welcomed them.
    
England and France had traced the borders of the Middle East. After changing the boundaries of the Jewish homeland that the Romans had destroyed, they now have the audacity to criticize Israel. In1922 they had amputated Israel of the part that became Jordan, to compensate the Sharif of Mecca. There have never been Arabs who called themselves Palestinians – on the other hand, the Jews who fought with the British against the Germans were called Palestinians. Namely Judea (note the name) and Samaria have been Jewish nests forever.
    
I have not seen anyone take a stand to save these unfortunate Jews of Europe and afterwards, those from the Arab countries. At the time of World War II, the United States, had refused entry to Jewish refugees from Europe, whereas today they let anyone, even terrorists, without verification through the open southern border.
    
The Europeans have seized the opportunity when Israel had to defend itself against the rockets and the infiltration tunnels of Hamas to pressure Israel. They should be ashamed of their past. The writer of these lines was born in an Arab country, is French by birth and is familiar with the history of his people.
    
Today, every European country that is a member of the European Union feels clean to put pressure on Israel. For the fact that you managed to create a united Europe, I congratulate you, but that does not give you the right to rally against Israel, as you do. Where did you learn your history of the Arabs who call themselves Palestinians? Have you checked if there really was a country under the name "Palestine" which belonged to the so-called "Palestinian" Arabs? In fact, Israel conquered the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and Sinai, when it was attacked by its neighbors. It is its right to decide what to do with these territories. Egypt had negotiated and made ​​peace with Israel, which returned the Sinai. The West Bank did not belong to Jordan. During the Six Day War, Jordan was allied with Egypt against Israel. During the war, Israel had conquered the rest of East Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Golan Heights.
     
The so-called "Palestinians" in Gaza are actually terrorists. And you know this well. You also know that the story of Gaza began when three young Israelis have been kidnapped and killed by Hamas while in the West Bank. Then Hamas had the audacity to start firing rockets at all the cities in Israel. You try to ignore that? Israel has only reacted defensively to save its people. Alas, even our President Obama has turned a blind eye on this, because it seems to me that he had become biased since the President of Egypt, Sisi, had removed the Muslim Brotherhood from the Egyptian government. Hamas is part of the Muslim Brotherhood, funded by Qatar and the Iranians and an ally of the Turks.
   
Even today the UN Secretary General, Mr. Ban Ki-moon when visiting Israel seemed to have preconceived notions about Israel, and he did not seem to be aware of what happened before and during the Gaza war.
 
Mr. Ban Ki-moon, with all my respect and my consideration for you, I think you and your organization are very far from seeing the realities. I understand that your job is great, but as a man who represents the UN, you should be aware and conscious of the events on the ground. You went to Gaza, and to Israel, which was your duty, but I think a man of your caliber should have already known what had happened in Gaza and Israel, and should not have waited for Mr. Netanyahu to make a point about some UN buildings that had been used to store Hamas rockets. Among other things, your employees handed those rockets to Hamas rather than destroy or preserve them as evidence, even though they knew that Hamas was a terrorist organization that derives from the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt. So the UN representatives are collaborators of terrorists. I think this is too serious to be silent, because this fact makes the UN an accomplice of the terrorists.
 
It's nice of you to tell Hamas to stop firing rockets into Israel. But Mr. Ban Ki-moon, you knew that Israel had to deal with terrorists who do not listen to anyone. Mr. Sharon, the Israeli prime minister had abandoned Gaza in his time, just to see what the "Palestinians" would achieve in this country. Unfortunately they chose terrorism instead of collaborating with Israel.
 
This was an example of the willingness of the Israelis. What guarantee will you give these Israeli residents that Hamas will not start this war game again? You said that the occupation is the cause of this conflict. But you seem to ignore the fact that Gaza is no longer occupied by the Israelis. I would say that Hamas is a terrorist organization that seeks war instead of peace that the Israelis had given it many times.
 
I learned that the Arabs had succeeded in raising 5.4 billion dollars for the reconstruction of the damage in Gaza, 4.4 billion will be given to Abbas and one billion will be given to Hamas by Qatar. In my opinion, the act of giving a billion dollars to Hamas directly by Qatar, which is an ally of the United States, makes the United States and Qatar complicit in terrorism, if that amount is not accompanied by conditions acceptable to Israel.
 
You say, "Stop the cycle of violence." When you ask Hamas and Israel to stop the cycle of violence that has led to military conflicts in the last six years, you offend the Jews around the world, because Israel has never started the hostilities, it has only responded in order to defend itself. Palestinians, whether in Gaza or elsewhere, should first agree to negotiate without the threat of war. The people of Israel are brave and creative people, and had suffered enough for centuries. They seek justice and peace, not war.
 
The author of this page hopes you will recognize who are the real culprits in this war and you're not going to accuse Israel without knowing. Hamas terrorist group holding the people of Gaza hostage. As for Israel you have definitely noticed the progress and creativity achieved in a short period of time.
