  Iran ,Ahmadinejad like zealos ignorant people.Let us examine the 
  truths here: 1) There never was a Palestinian state or a Palestinian 
  nation. There are no Palestinian people, per se. Rather, these are Arabs 
  living in a region that historically has been called many things, 
  including "Palestine." 2) Israel did not go to war against a 
  Palestinian state and occupy its land. Rather, Israel was attacked by six 
  Arab countries at once. She defended herself, defeated her attackers, and 
  won the so-called territories, not from the Palestinians, but from Jordan 
  and Egypt. 3) Jerusalem was never the capital of any state but Israel. 
  It was certainly never the capital of a country that never existed. Why 
  should the Palestinians get any part of it? Because they want it? 
  Because they have terrorists? 4) Jerusalem, under the current 
  Israeli control, is a free and open city. Israel, as a democracy, 
  guarantees freedom of religion within its borders. Contrast this fact with 
  areas that have come under Palestinian occupation. What percentage of 
  Christians have left in recent years because they cannot stand the 
  harassment and persecution? 5) Most Arabs living in Palestine 
  today are not indigenous to the region. It was not until after the Jews 
  had changed deserts and swamps into a productive and thriving land that 
  the Arabs started migrating there. Arafat himself was born and raised in 
  Cairo, Egypt. Did you know that? The belief that giving the 
  Palestinians a state will bring peace is a delusion. Unless the 
  Arabs recognize and accept these truths, even if they are given a state of 
  their own, and no matter how many agreements and treaties they sign, they 
  will always feel wronged, cheated, and forced into giving up what they now 
  claim is theirs. They will continue to plot and look for an opportunity to 
  destroy Israel in order to take back what they claim is theirs, especially 
  the younger generation that has been brainwashed to hate the "occupying 
  enemy." Whether there is a Palestinian state or not, there will be no 
  peace. Only a massive and ongoing re-education of the Arab people to 
  these truths will enable meaningful negotiations to begin, followed by a 
  lasting peace between Arabs and Jews. It is therefore critical that 
  everyone who has an audience, whether in print or other media, use the 
  forum they have available to repeat these truths again and again until 
  they reach the consciousness of those waging war in the Middle 
  East

 There are people who deny that Nazi Germany killed millions of 
Jews -
 - the claim that there never was a Palestine is on a moral and 
 intellectual par, by people who think that this big lie makes the 
 Zionist land grab an OK thing. 
 
 The victors of WWII forced Israel on the Arab world at a time when 
 those countries were weak, poor, and disorganized -- sooner or 
later
 the Arab peoples will be organized enough to reassert control over 
 Palestine, no matter how much blood and money the U.S. and Israel 
 are willing to spend. 
 
 Zionism is really just trying to put the toothpaste back in the 
 tube, and it ain't gonna work. Europeans took over North America 
 primarily because disease killed 90% of the indigenous population, 
 but Israel's 5 million Jews are vastly outnumbered  and that math 
is 
 never going to change in Israel's favor. It's entirely 
 understandable that the Jews of Europe would seek a place where 
Jews 
 could live without pogroms, but Israel is not that place and never 
 will be. If humans were capable of reason (and of course they are 
 not, the situation is hopeless until human consciousness is more 
 expanded), then another homeland for the Jews would be found, 
 instead of a place that will be a super-pogrom for them and their  
 neighbors.

Bob that's only in your twisted mind.

The land of Israel was always the Jew's land. It's true that Jews 
were driven away from the land to
whatever extent, and yes it's also true that others occupied it but 
there always were Jews their. 
Zionism is a return of rest of the Jews to their birth right land.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Palestine

2006-07-24 Thread larry.potter
 The modern media is filled with stories about the Palestinians, 
their plight, their dilemmas and their struggles. All aspects of 
their lives seem to have been put under the microscope. Only one 
question never seems to be addressed: Who are the Palestinians? Who 
are these people who claim the Holy Land as their own? What is their 
history? Where did they come from? And how did they arrive at the 
country they call Palestine? Now that both U.S. President George 
Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (in direct opposition 
to the platform he was elected on) have come out in favor of a 
Palestinian state, it would be prudent to seek answers to these 
questions. After all, for all we know, Palestine could be as real as 
Disneyland. 
The general impression given in the media is that Palestinians have 
lived in the Holy Land for hundreds, if not thousands of years. But 
curiously, when it comes to giving the history of this ancient 
people most news outlets find it harder to go back more than the 
early nineteen hundreds.

CNN, a news outlet which has devoted countless hours of airtime to 
the plight of the Palestinians, has a website which features a 
special section on the Middle East conflict called Struggle For 
Peace. In it, is included a promising sounding section 
entitled Lands Through The Ages which assures us it will detail 
the history of the region using maps. But strangely, it turns out, 
the maps displayed start no earlier than the ancient date of 1917. 
The CBS News website has a background section called 'A Struggle For 
Middle East Peace.'' Its history timeline starts no earlier than 
1897. The NBC News background section called ''Searching for Peace'' 
has a timeline which starts in 1916. BBC's timeline starts in 1948.

But the clincher must certainly be the Palestinian National 
Authority's own website. While it is top heavy on such phrases 
as Israeli occupation and Israeli human rights violations the 
site offers practically nothing on the history of the so-called 
Palestinian people. The only article on the site with any historical 
content is called Palestinian History - 20th Century Milestones 
which seems only to confirm that prior to 1900 there was no such 
concept as a Palestinian people.

While the modern media maybe short on information about the history 
of the Palestinian people the historical record is not. Books, 
such as Battleground by Samuel Katz and From Time Immemorial by 
Joan Peters long ago detailed the history of the region.

Far from being settled by Palestinians for hundreds, if not 
thousands of years, the Land of Israel, according to dozens of 
visitors to the land, was, until the beginning of the last century, 
practically empty. Alphonse de Lamartine visited the land in 1835. 
In his book, Recollections of the East, he writes Outside the 
gates of Jerusalem we saw no living object, heard no living sound…. 
None other than the famous American author Mark Twain, who visited 
the Land of Israel in 1867, confirms this. In his book The 
Innocents Abroad he writes, A desolation is here that not even 
imagination can grace with the pomp of life and action. We reached 
Tabor safely…. We never saw a human being on the whole journey. 
Even the British Consul in Palestine reported in 1857, The country 
is in a considerable degree empty of inhabitants and therefore its 
greatest need is that of a body of population…

In fact, according to official Ottoman Turk census figures, in 1882, 
in the entire Land of Israel, there were only 141 000 Muslims, both 
Arab and non-Arab. This number was to skyrocket to 650 000 Arabs by 
1922, a 450% increase in only 40 years. By 1938 that number would 
become over 1 million or an 800% increase in only 56 years. 
Population growth was especially high in areas where Jews lived. 
Where did all these Arabs come from?

According to the Arabs the huge increase in their numbers was due to 
natural childbirth. In 1944, for example, they alleged that the 
natural increase (births minus deaths) of Arabs in the Land of 
Israel was the astounding figure of 334 per 1000. That would make it 
roughly three times the corresponding rate for the same year of 
Lebanon and Syria and almost four times that of Egypt, considered 
amongst the highest in the world. Unlikely, to say the least. But if 
the massive increase was not due to natural births, then were did 
all these Arabs come from?

All the evidence points to the neighboring Arab states of Egypt, 
Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. In 1922 the British Governor of the Sinai 
noted that illegal immigration was not only going on from the 
Sinai, but also from Transjordan and Syria.

In 1930 the British Mandate sponsored Hope-Simpson Report noted 
that unemployment lists are being swollen by immigrants from Trans-
Jordania and illicit immigration through Syria and across the 
northern frontier of Palestine is material. Indeed the Arabs 
themselves bare witness to this trend. For example, the governor of

Again off_world you are confused.

Prior to the influx of thousands of eastern European hardworking 
Jews in the second half of XIX c and on, the Land of Israel was 
scarcely populated: majority were religious Jews who lived in the 
holy cities (Tver, Hevron, Tsfat etc.), Druze in the north, 
Bedouins, who wondered all over Negev, Sinai and Tran Jordan 
deserts, and, yes, there were two, I repeat TWO Arab clans. One 
Muslim clan Husseini, and one Christian Nusseibah. That is it. All 
those Arabs, who now call themselves Palestinians Refugees etc. 
are in fact scavengers who invaded Israel from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon 
etc. looking for the handouts from the Jews. They are grandchildren 
of scavengers and have no historical, moral or any other right in 
the Land of the Jews.
Palestine?  Why won't these Arabs call themselves Martians, no wait, 
Lunatics! 

Let us examine the truths here: 

1) There never was a Palestinian state or a Palestinian nation. 
There are no Palestinian people, per se. Rather, these are Arabs 
living in a region that historically has been called many things, 
including Palestine. 

2) Israel did not go to war against a Palestinian state and occupy 
its land. Rather, Israel was attacked by six Arab countries at once. 
She defended herself, defeated her attackers, and won the so-called 
territories, not from the Palestinians, but from Jordan and Egypt. 

3) Jerusalem was never the capital of any state but Israel. It was 
certainly never the capital of a country that never existed. Why 
should the Palestinians get any part of it? Because they want it? 
Because they have terrorists? 

4) Jerusalem, under the current Israeli control, is a free and open 
city. Israel, as a democracy, guarantees freedom of religion within 
its borders. Contrast this fact with areas that have come under 
Palestinian occupation. What percentage of Christians have left in 
recent years because they cannot stand the harassment and 
persecution? 

5) Most Arabs living in Palestine today are not indigenous to the 
region. It was not until after the Jews had changed deserts and 
swamps into a productive and thriving land that the Arabs started 
migrating there. Arafat himself was born and raised in Cairo, Egypt. 
Did you know that? 

The belief that giving the Palestinians a state will bring peace is 
a delusion. 

Unless the Arabs recognize and accept these truths, even if they are

Utter uneducated BS, Larry.

The name that was given to the region was Philistia and the people 
were known as the Phillistines, hence the name Palestine

After being repulsed by the Egyptians, they occupied the coastal 
plain of Palestine from Joppa (modern Tel Aviv–Yafo) southward to 
the Gaza Strip. The area contained the five cities (the Pentapolis) 
of the Philistine confederacy (Gaza, Ashkelon [Ascalon], Ashdod,

. 
 Again off_world you are confused.
 
 Prior to the influx of thousands of eastern European hardworking 
 Jews in the second half of XIX c and on, the Land of Israel was 
 scarcely populated: majority were religious Jews who lived in the 
 holy cities (Tver, Hevron, Tsfat etc.), Druze in the north, 
 Bedouins, who wondered all over Negev, Sinai and Tran Jordan 
 deserts, and, yes, there were two, I repeat TWO Arab clans. One 
 Muslim clan Husseini, and one Christian Nusseibah. That is it. All 
 those Arabs, who now call themselves Palestinians Refugees 
etc. 
 are in fact scavengers who invaded Israel from Egypt, Syria, 
Lebanon 
 etc. looking for the handouts from the Jews. They are 
grandchildren 
 of scavengers and have no historical, moral or any other right in 
 the Land of the Jews.
 Palestine?  Why won't these Arabs call themselves Martians, no 
wait, 
 Lunatics! 
 
 Let us examine the truths here: 
 
 1) There never was a Palestinian state or a Palestinian nation. 
 There are no Palestinian people, per se. Rather, these are Arabs 
 living in a region that historically has been called many things, 
 including Palestine. 
 
 2) Israel did not go to war against a Palestinian state and occupy 
 its land. Rather, Israel was attacked by six Arab countries at 
once. 
 She defended herself, defeated her attackers, and won the so-
called 
 territories, not from the Palestinians, but from Jordan and Egypt. 
 
 3) Jerusalem was never the capital of any state but Israel. It was 
 certainly never the capital of a country that never existed. Why 
 should the Palestinians get any part of it? Because they want it? 
 Because they have terrorists? 
 
 4) Jerusalem, under the current Israeli control, is a free and 
open 
 city. Israel, as a democracy, guarantees freedom of religion 
within 
 its borders. Contrast this fact with areas that have come under 
 Palestinian occupation. What percentage of Christians have left in 
 recent years because they cannot stand the harassment and 
 persecution? 
 
 5) Most Arabs living in Palestine today are not indigenous to the 
 region. It was not until after the Jews had changed deserts and 
 swamps into a productive and thriving land that the Arabs started 
 migrating there. Arafat himself was born and raised in Cairo, 
Egypt. 
 Did you know that? 
 
 The belief that giving the Palestinians a state will bring peace 
is 
 a delusion. 
 
 Unless the Arabs recognize and accept these truths, even if they 
are 
 given a state of their own, and no matter how many agreements and 
 treaties they sign, they will always feel wronged, cheated, and 
 forced into giving up what they now claim is theirs. They will 
 continue to plot and look for an opportunity to destroy Israel in 
 order to take back what they claim is theirs, especially the 
younger 
 generation that has been brainwashed to hate the occupying 
enemy. 
 Whether there is a Palestinian state or not, there will be no 
peace. 
 
 Only a massive and ongoing re-education of the Arab people to 
these 
 truths will enable meaningful negotiations to begin, followed by a 
 lasting peace between Arabs and Jews. It is therefore critical 
that 
 everyone who has an audience, whether in print or other media, use 
 the forum they have available to repeat these truths again and 
again 
 until they reach the consciousness of those waging war in the 
Middle 
 East

[FairfieldLife] 'The End of the Road'

2006-07-24 Thread Robert Gimbel



On the bus I was going;  And sitting behind me,   Was two Fellows;  Ya, know, I was saying to them:  I'm from Madison, Wixconsin, and we there are kind of 'old hippie anti-war radicals;  And we think that King George II is evil, and that he just wants to take over the world;  Him and his offspring are just parasites, for their lavish lifestyles, and they just want money, power and control? Did you know all that? And now the Israeli's are going a little nuts, and so, we might be at the 'End of Time(s)';  Because the Mayan Calendar says so:  Because it ends on December 24Th 20012.Well he says, one of the guys, sitting behind me on the bus...  He just joined the Army; so he's out to change this crazy world, for real!  Ah, I said, he joined the Army;  I asked, "YOu actually joined the Army?"  Yeah, and my
 brother just died, last month in Afghanistan;  He wasin the Special Forces.  "I'm sorry to hear that,,,  "I think you are really a brave soul, for joining...I felt embarrassed that my government conspiracy theories,  Were falling on deaf ears...  But the other guy I was talking to;  His family was also heavily involved inmilitary affairs..  His uncle he said, was a Federal Marshall;  And he was down in New Orleans, after the flood;  And there was murder and rape, in the stadium there...  And there is a lot going on in the government, it's true...  That we don't know about;  But that he felt it was 'justified'.  And told me that a plot was just uncovered recently;  Some evil doer, was coming in from Mexico;  And that the plot which was uncovered, really
 scaredhim;  "Well, can you tell me what it was about?"  "No, I really can't, he said;  "But in a way, I wish the government would come out with the details,  Of this plot, because we do really need to take this enemy seriously"...Now, sitting in front of me, on the bus;  We're two younger guys;  One black and one white;  They were talking about music, and rap;  And religion, and Jesus, and miracles;  And they were makinga friendship, right then and there;  I could hear them really bearing their soul's to one another.On the way out of the station;  When we arrived in Seattle;  I came up to the black guy,  And asked him for his number.  I told him, I was a writer,  and that I needed to ask him some things,  Which I had
 over-heard him speaking of...R.Gimbel Seattle,WA.

It was always an Arab/ Israeli conflict until the sixties then it was 
repackaged into an Israeli/ Palestinian conflict to gain sympathy for the Arab 
cause to drive Israel into the sea.
