Palestine

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Tuesday July 16, 2002 08:37author by Mary Report this post to the editors

Why?

Palestine has always been called the land of Israel why do you people have such a hard time understanding that maybe the arab world has never liked Jews and therefore is and has been plotting anyway to get support to get rid of them. The Arabs have repeatedly kicked Jews out of their countries and murdered them. They are not alowed to practice there religion in Arab countries. Why dont you understand this? Why is hard to understand that Arab Countries sent arabs To Israel in order to keep Jews from becoming a majority. Jordans population is half "Palestinian" who have never lived in Israel or Palestine the land of Israel. Why dont you understand this? Ok Israel should figure out away to deal with them non-violently but they are killing innocent children. Most Arabs moved to Israel to get jobs which the Israelis created this does not make them citizens this does not make Palestine the land of Israel a Palestinian state. It's unfortunate the name had to be changed in order to ge rid of these people who are making false accusations and are terrorist. Why doesnt Jordan who has the largest population of Palestinians become Palestine. The Jordan area has always had the largest populalation of "palestinians" even before Israel became an official state..

Most palestinians have always lived in Jordan. They moved to Israel in orfer to get jobs which the Israelis brought in. Learn your facts. There are many policies made in order to placate those oil companies and a still leagering anti-Jewish feelings. Its pretty complicated . Since when does the left believe in the UN give me a break.

Mary has just expressed admiration for some of the most brutal, exploitative, warlike, corrupt countries on the face of this planet.

If being part of the "First World" is something to be admired, we will deduce what lengths she is willing to go to to join the brutes.

Absolute nonsense, the compromise solution which would understandbly be painful for the Palestinian people to accept, is a complete withdrawal of the zionists from all occupied land beyond their internationally recognised borders and a complete dismantling of all illegal "settlements". However Sharon is not interested in such a compromise, he prefers more illegal "settlements" and ethnic cleansing.

I completely agree that the Palestinians should have their own country but not in Israel or the so callled occupied Palestine I also agree that the Kurds should have their own counrty as well.

I am afraid that the "author" of this posting is either a very stupid person and/or an appalling zionist propagandist. The Palestinian people were ethnically cleansed from their own country to make way for the surviviors of the nazi genocide. After the nazi "final solution" I believe that the Jewish people have a right to a state of their own but so do the Palestinian people who cannot in any way be held responsible for what happened in Europe during world war two.

Having met members of an Israeli-Palestinian anti-apartheid group, I would have to disagree with your gross generalisation that Arabs hate Jews.

By the way, do you know what country in the world has the second highest proportion of Jews in the world after Israel?

Iraq.

And why do all these people who think that Israel was always Jewish ignore the fact that Jews numbered a tiny minority in what is now Israel before the twentieth century. Many of the indigenous Jews felt the same way as other native people about the influx of European and American Zionists.

It is obvious by this that you dont really understand what is going on.The funny thing is that we keep explaining it to you over and over, but you still-like alittle stubborn child-refuse to face reality. You are too brainwashed by the propaganda.

Now,i can understand why that is.I know about the horrible history of jews that has led to this.That has led you to think the way you do about things.I can understand where you are coming from.But that is not an excuse.It still doesnt make it right.It is still wrong.

I feel sorry for you.And i mean that in the best and nicest way possible.

Is Mary a genuine contributor or an Israeli propagandist? She certainly has no idea what she's talking about...

1. Palestine has not always been called the land of Israel.

2. Jews are allowed to practice their religion in Arab countries.

3. The Israelis imported Jews to Palestine in order to secure a majority, not the other way around.

4. Jordan's Palestinian population may never have lived in Palestine (I'm not sure), but more than 90% of Israelis are immigrants from Europe, the US, Britain, Russia and several other countries.

5. The reason Jordan doesn't "become Palestine" is because it is Jordan. Palestine is the land that the Zionists stole from its native Arab population and the Palestinians are fighting for their land, not to create a colony in Jordan.
