East Jerusalem Arab Mukhtar: We Want Live To Under Israel, Not PA

According to Torah wisdom, in the end of days the nations will come to see that the land of Israel belongs to the Jews and they will give it willingly. You can already see this starting to happen. There is a "different wind" blowing in the Middle East. Alliances between the Arabs and Jews keep developing. Within Israel itself, there are Arabs who openly say they prefer to be governed by Israel and not any other Arab faction. Recently, an organization, United With Israel, published an interview from Israeli Channel 20 with an Arab chief in East Jerusalem. He openly acknowledged that the majority of his fellows prefer to live in peace under Israel.

"The truth is...we don't believe in the PA."
"We identify with the Israeli side."
"The truth is we want to live in peace and most people, 90%, want to live under the state of Israel."
                    - Ramadan Dabbash, East Jerusalem

Transcript of Israel Channel 20 Interview, Oct 6, 2017

Interviewer: So what do you want?
Dabbash:  We want to stay with the blue (Israeli) identification.
Interviewer: Yes...
Dabbash: In East Jerusalem.
Interviewer: Yes...
Dabbash: To live in East Jerusalem under the state of Israel...Until the state of Israel takes responsibility for East Jerusalem, not like they left us in the past. Now the PA did not succeed in the territories, and also they won't succeed in East Jerusalem.
Interviewer: You don't believe in the PA?
Dabbash: We..the truth is, you're asking me as a private individual because we don't believe in the PA.
Interviewer: Okay. That's interesting. I want to ask you personally, with whom do you identify with more, the Israeli side or "Palestinian" side?
Dabbash: We identify with the Israeli side, and you can see this in our everyday life. Even if you ask anybody in East Jerusalem if they are willing to give up their blue ID and change to the orange "Palestinian" ID, nobody wants to give up their blue ID.
Interviewer: When you see riots in the streets of East Jerusalem, people throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails, how do you react to things like that? They aim toward our security forces.
Dabbash: I'll tell you, there are many who don't want that but most people are scared to speak out, to go on television and condemn.
Interviewer: Yes..
Dabbash: They're scared of impossible threats from the other rulers. The truth is we want to live in peace and most`people, 90%, want to live under the state of Israel.




United With Israel, 10/9/17
The Global Movement for Israel

The head of a Palestinian village in Jerusalem says almost all of the city’s Arabs would prefer to live peacefully under Israeli administration.

Palestinian leaders often claim that they would like to take a less confrontational stance against Israel but are afraid of “losing” the “Palestinian street.”

A new interview with a local Palestinian politician in an eastern Jerusalem Arab neighborhood indicates the opposite to be true: The average Palestinian wants to come home from work and eat dinner with his or her family rather than hearing that their child has become a “martyr” in a violent attack against Israelis.

It is the Palestinian leaders who destroy the chances for peace with non-stop incitement of Palestinian youth, diversion of funds to terror and a resultant lack of economic growth in Palestinian-controlled areas.

Jerusalem village head Ramadan Dabbash goes as far as to say that living under Israeli rule is preferable to living under the Palestinian Authority.
