In the following clip and specially in minutes 10:08, Dr. Gabor Mate, a Holocaust survivor and former Zionist, addresses the Hamas charter by saying:

"Did you know that the Likud charter (the Ruling Party in Israel) excludes a Palestinian entity West of the Jordan River?!
Let's get ride of both charters and let's start with the bases of recognition and peace and the ending of this unspeakable brutal occupation. Piers, you have to go there (Gaza) to see it for yourself, as I have, and you would cry everyday for two weeks as well"

Guess what! Dr. Gabor Mate is right!

The founding charter of Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party trolls:

“Between the sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty.”

It's mentioned on Likud's website:

The Right of the Jewish People to the Land of Israel (Eretz Israel)

a. The right of the Jewish people to the land of Israel is eternal and indisputable and is linked with the right to security and peace; therefore, Judea and Samaria will not be handed to any foreign administration; between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty.

In the following clip and specially in minutes 7:05, you can hear Mr. Husam Zomlot, Ambassador and Head of Palestinian mission to UK, say:

"We keep the moral high ground by sticking to international law, by reverting to international judicial system, by seeking the ruling of the International Criminal Court. Let international judges come to occupied Palestinian territory and rule, and we will accept the ruling".

Now ask yourself:

Why Israel, supported by Western Christendom, has been Systematically refusing to refer the case to the International Criminal Court?!

Hence, I agree with Dr. Gabor Mate: "Let’s get ride of both charters (Hamas and Likud) and let’s start with the bases of recognition and peace and the ending of this unspeakable brutal occupation."

Note: While reading, remember that Bernard Lewis defined Christendom as:

“…the entire civilization shaped by the Christianity religion but includes many elements that are not part of that religion or maybe hostile to that religion, but nevertheless, arises within this civilization. One has to say that Hitler and the Nazis arose within Christendom, but no one could say that they arose within Christianity. This is a distinction that is important to bear in mind.”

Accordingly, in this article, “Western Christendom” refers to the entire Christian civilization, but not Christianity as a religion nor its peaceful followers.

I don't charge for being fair! I honor the past instead of trashing it, criticize friends when they are wrong and defend strangers when they are right.
