I know, I hitch hiked through palestine. You must be reading Iran's current president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's "book", he is known to re write history as of late. lolmaybe you should hitch hiked to 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 Messages in this topic (11) Reply (via Larry , you can't tell OffWorld anything, after all, he hitch hiked thru "Palestine" and knows it all. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

[FairfieldLife] Re: Palestine
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

[FairfieldLife] Re: Palestine/ Philistia
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 AvivYafo) southward to the Gaza Strip. The area contained the five cities (the Pentapolis) of the Philistine confederacy (Gaza, Ashkelon [Ascalon], Ashdod, Gath, and Ekron) and was known as Philistia, or the Land of the Philistines. It was from this designation that the whole of the country was later called Palestine by the Greeks. ---Encyclopedia Brittanica You lose Adios OffWorld . Again off_world you are confused.

[FairfieldLife] 'The End of the Road'
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. Do you Yahoo!? Get on board. You're invited to try the new Yahoo!

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.

In Latin, Pliny wrote of a region of Syria that was formerly called Palaestina when describing the eastern coast of the Mediterranean. Roman times As a result of the First Jewish-Roman War (6673), Titus sacked Jerusalem and destroyed the Second Temple, leaving only the Western Wall. In 135, following the fall of a Jewish revolt led by Bar Kokhba in 132135, the Roman emperor Hadrian expelled most Jews from Judea, leaving large Jewish populations in Samaria and the Galilee. He also changed the name of the Roman province of Judea (Israel) to Syria Palaestina named after the Philistines as an insult to the now conquered Jews. In what was considered a form of psychological warfare, the Romans also tried to change the name of Jerusalem to Aelia Capitolina, but that had less staying power. Over time the name Syria Palaestina was shortened to Palaestina, which by then had become an administrative political unit within the Roman Empire. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine#History OffWorld 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. Now... Who says it is their birth right land? Yahoo!

The boundaries of the area he referred to were not explicitly stated, but Josephus used the name only for Philistia. Ptolemy also used the term. In Latin, Pliny wrote of a region of Syria that was formerly called Palaestina when describing the eastern coast of the Mediterranean. Roman times As a result of the First Jewish-Roman War (6673), Titus sacked Jerusalem and destroyed the Second Temple, leaving only the Western Wall. In 135, following the fall of a Jewish revolt led by Bar Kokhba in 132135, the Roman emperor Hadrian expelled most Jews from Judea, leaving large Jewish populations in Samaria and the Galilee. He also changed the name of the Roman province of Judea (Israel) to Syria Palaestina named after the Philistines as an insult to the now conquered Jews. In what was considered a form of psychological warfare, the Romans also tried to change the name of Jerusalem to Aelia Capitolina, but that had less staying power. Over time the name Syria Palaestina was shortened to Palaestina, which by then had become an administrative political unit within the Roman Empire. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine#History OffWorld 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. Now... Who says it is their birth right land? it wasn't part of a quote, if that's what you asking. Then why call it that? Yahoo!
