The Middle East Forum (MEF), a conservative thinktank run by Daniel Pipes with annual budget of US$4.13 million has started advocating establishment of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Although, on its website, MEF claims to be promoting “American interests and works to protest Western civilization from the threat of Islamism”, and advocating strong ties with Israel and other democracies as they emerge, work for human rights throughout the region; seek a stable supply and a low price of oil; and promote the peaceful settlement of regional and international disputes, a Senior Fellow of the organization has recently written a huge article condemning Israeli attack on Palestinians and advocated establishment of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Meaning, the Middle East Forum, through its Senior Fellow Tarek Fatah has started a new campaign advocating creation of recognition of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital, and in return it needs Arab nations recognize the State of Israel. Or they want Jerusalem become an “international city” while Israel and Palestine will have equal rights and access to this sacred city.
Commenting on MEF Senior Fellow Tarek Fatah’s proposition, eminent research scholar and write Peter Baum said: “I have read the article and I fundamentally disagree on its premise. Arabs numerous countries – there is no need for another Arab Islamic country especially one whose charters demand Jew extermination. The Palestinians have no religious, historical, national or legal claims to any of the geography. In fact, any religious claims are mocking Islam, Allah and Mohammed as I have written about previously. In order for there to be any hope of peace in the region, the Palestinians must get rid of their charters demanding Jew extermination”.
