this is why Palestinians came to a mixed Christian/Muslim country and not to another purely Muslim country like Jordan

A minor nit to pick here.

The Jordanians kicked the 'palis' out in 1972 after an uprising during which they tried to assassinate the King of Jordan. He was understandably pissed and turned the Jordanian Army loose on them. Hundreds and quite possibly thousands of 'palis' were killed.

To this day they refer to the event as Black September. The name was taken by the group which murdered the Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics.

The Jordanian government wouldn't let the 'palis' inside their borders if old mad mo' himself appeared and demanded it.

Other than that; not bad. Not bad at all.

You aren't alone. I used to be an automatic Israel basher but after so many years it just gets too hard to ignore the facts.

I do feel pity for the Palestinians. If it weren't for the meddling of other arab nations I think there would have been relative peace a long time ago.

The she wondered WHO I would rather ask for permission to visit The Lord's Birthplace-- the Israeli government? Or some Muslim sharia government?

Worth repeating.

Julia Gorin, who also understands the parallels between the Serbs right to self-defense and Israel's right to self-defense against militant Islam, published another one of my letter's on her blog today. I was commenting on why the Greek government had criticized Israel's actions: http://republicanriot.com

You are right, Lurker.

But the Arab Muslim world has left the Palestinians nowhere to go -- other than to Israel, or to the only mixed Chrsitian/Muslim country in the neighborhood -- Lebanon. And they take over and destroy where ever they call home. I don't think that this is a coincidence.

The is no such thing as "a Palestinian", but that artificial creation worked so well that it also spawned the idea of "Bosniak" (Bosnian Muslim) and "Kosovar" (Kosovo Albanian), neither of which are real either. Neither of those false identities ever existed before there was a war "by Muslims for territory".

You are 100 per cent correct that everyone of all groups must realize it is the Muslims against all of us. I don't know why it is difficult for people to grasp this, by both word and deed the Jihadists make it plain over and over again.

Lebanon used to be 85% Christian, with a Christian government.

What happened?

When only one "previous" supporter of the fictional "palestine" sees the light at a time, the process will take forever.

The arguments are clear, uncomplicated and plain for all to either see or reject in this article. Those who reject them, in my view, are as much an enemy as the 'militant' muslims and their silent supporters... all billion of them.

I was lucky and studied islam long before it removed the mask. I have considered them my enemy for 40 years now, and welcome others to read, to study, to listen to history. The strongest persuasions are all there. They have been there all along...

Bears repeating. It has been obvious to me for decades. In their own words:

"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism."
PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein, March 31, 1977

Actiually, all three bogus "identities" were invented by the Nazi muslim Hajj Amin al-Husseini during the WWII era!!!

All the Dhimmwit "mainline" protestant mis-leaders and other liberal "Palestinian", "Bosniak", and "Kosovar" fanciers are actually supporting Nazis!!!!

I don't. They strike me as the closest thing the human race has to offer to the fricking monsters in the doom game.

Everybody has a wish list for President Bush. " Now, if he'd only say the same thing to the Serbs re Kosovo, and to Greeks re Cyprus, the US and the world be back on the right track!"

He's done so much, why can't he do everything?
