This time, I was reading the systematic destruction of the Jews and their land by the Ishmaelites.
Let the evidence speak for itself.
Thanx, Sabertooth.

To attempt to resolve the problem we examined Arab photographs taken about 1875 by the Bonfils out of Lebanon. The photographs are from a Lebanese WEB site whose address is: http://almashriq.hiof.no/general/700/770/779/historical/pcd0109.html, and http://www.lib.uchicago.edu:80/LibInfo/SourcesBySubject/MiddleEast/Photo/Jerusalem.html, and http://almashriq.hiof.no/general/700/770/779/historical/pcd0109/17.jpg
The photos were computer enhanced to build up contrast as they are old and faded.
We also added a photograph of the Western Wall, part of the same collection, to demonstrate Jewish use of the Wall.
Following are some of the description of the photographs:
17 Mosque of Omar [Dome of the Rock] and David's Judgment Seat, Jerusalem, Mosquee d'Omar et tribunal de David.
15 The Jews Wailing Place, a Friday, Mur des Juifs, un vebdredi.
19 Mosque of El-Aksa, Jerusalem, Jerusalem. Mosquee, El-Aksa.
20 Mosque of Omar [Dome of the Rock] from the South, Jerusalem.

Got a link or an excerpt you can post?
This would be a great thread on which to do it. Check out dennisw's post at #6. Thanks, dennis.

"I see the Pales not as a people"
The end result of the 1948-49 Israeli War of Independence was the creation of a Jewish State slightly larger than that which was proposed by the United Nations two years before. What remained of that almost-created second Arab Palestinian State was gobbled up by Egypt (occupying the Gaza Strip) and by Trans-Jordan (occupying Judea-Samaria (the "West Bank" of the Jordan River) and Jerusalem. In the next year (1950) Trans-Jordan formally merged this West Bank territory into itself and granted all those Arabs living there Jordanian citizenship. Since Trans-Jordan was no longer confined to one side of the Jordan River, it renamed itself simply "JORDAN. In the final analysis, the Arabs of Palestine ended up with nearly 85% of the original territory of Palestine. But that was still not 100% and thus the conflict between Arab and Jew for "Palestine" would continue through four more wars and continuous Arab terrorist attacks upon the Israeli citizenry! It continues to this very day. From 1948-67 when all of Judea-Samaria [West Bank] ... including Jerusalem!) ended up under Arab [Jordanian] control, no effort was EVER made to create a second Palestinian State for the Arabs living there. Surely you do not expect Israel to now provide these same Arabs with their own country when their fellow Arabs failed to do so! And isn't it curious how Arafat and his PLO (formed in 1964) discovered their "ancient" identity and a need for "self-determination" and "human dignity" on this very same West Bank ONLY AFTER Israel regained this territory (three years later in 1967) following Jordan's attempt attempt to destroy Israel! Why was no request ever made upon King Hussein of Jordan when he "occupied" the West Bank? Is it logical that the PLO was formed in 1964 to regain the lands they would lose three years later in 1967? This sort of logic makes sense only to those who who have not learned that the PLO was formed to DESTROY Israel. And that is STILL their goal! A cosmetic name change from PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) to PA (Palestinian Authority) does not change the spots on THIS tiger! |
Could it be that the Arabs knew the only way to get good land was to steal it after the Jews had returned it to fertility?
You have a touching leftist style sympathy for a bunch of 3rd world misfits consumed by hatred. This is your heroic Palestinian people.

....but as a gang like the Cripes or the Bloods.
Israel is world class expert in drip irrigation. Can even find drip irrigation items from Israel over here. They did with that depopulated wasteland what was beyond the Arabs.
Just look at what was Tel Aviv in 1909! Where a million live today. Talk about prime beach front property being neglected!
Tel Aviv, 1909
Care to stick up for the Arab Muslim side of this history!

I'd be interested to see some support for your statements. Not saying you can't, but this is the place to post it.
