Most of the Jews came to Israel from Europe... and we all know the Europeans history with Jews.
BLAH BLAH BLAH...same ole rhetoric...
But, of course...that's what you get when you have feminized males trying to be males. I know...you're trying to be SENSITIVE.
Good day!
(BTW maybe we should all move back to England as well seeing that US is rightfully theirs! I'll wait till you buy your ticket before I decide to leave)
First of all, how do you figure they stole the land? It was either 1) given to Israel as part of the British mandate and subsequent UN resolution, 2) legitimately sold to Jews by local Arabs in the first part of the century, or 3) gained as a result of defense following attacks by neighboring countries.
With regard to the accusation of theft of "resources," what resources would they be exactly?
"TWENTY SUPPRESSED FACTS ABOUT THE MIDDLE EAST
1. Nationhood and Jerusalem. Israel became a nation in 1312 B.C, two thousand years before the rise of Islam.
2. Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern State of Israel.
3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 B.C. the Jews have had dominion over the land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years.
4. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 A.D. lasted no more than 22 years.
5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.
6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy Scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Qur'an.
7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem.
8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem.
9. Arab and Jewish Refugees: In 1948 the Arab refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of Jews. Sixty-eight percent left without ever seeing an Israeli soldier.
10. The Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab brutality, persecution and pogroms.
11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be around 630,000. The number of Jewish refugees from Arab lands is estimated to be the same.
12. Arab refugees were INTENTIONALLY not absorbed or integrated into the Arab lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own peoples' lands. Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel, a country no larger than the state of New Jersey.
13. The Arab - Israeli Conflict: The Arabs are represented by eight separate nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation. The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended itself each time and won.
14. The PLO's Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel. Israel has given the Palestinians most of the West Bank land, autonomy under the Palestinian Authority, and has supplied them with weapons. [See Fatah Charter/Constitution]
15. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the Jews were denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all faiths.
16. The UN Record on Israel and the Arabs: Of the 175 Security Council resolutions passed before 1990; there were 97 directed against Israel.
17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel.
18. The UN was silent while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed by the Jordanians.
19. The UN was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives.
20. The UN was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like policy of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and the Western Wall."
Not that it matters. Armey is part Maronite isn't he?....that's Lebabnese Arab Christian in case you missed that chapter in your programming. I'm about 1/16th Lebanese Christian myself and I agree fully with Armey.
We conservatives in the "Amen Corner" as you Jew haters always put it, ...we simply see right and wrong and don't wallow in moral equivocation. You should try it. Think "clarity".
1. Many jews lived in Arab lands and had to move to Israel because the Arabs kicked them out after Israel became a nation.
2. This never was Palestinian land. Both Arabs and Jews lived in the Land when it was under Turkish control, and later under British control.
3. When Israel was created, the Arabs were offered half the land. The Arabs turned it down because they wanted it all.
4. Arabs living in Israel have more rights and freedoms than Arabs living is Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and any other part of the Arab World.
Israel is far from perfect but if you want to complain about mistreatment of Arabs, then you have to start with the Arab nations.
The Middle East doesn't "belong" to the Arabs any more than Brooklyn belongs to the Jews or the Iriquois, or San Fransisco to the Indians (ok maybe the the Indian from the Village People), or Frankfurt to the French or Swedish, or London to the Romans.
San Francisco already has Night-Of-The-Living-Dead homeless degenerates here (in SF). They would make the Palestinians look like royalty.
Hey you Horses Arse, fell free to go back to your buddies at DU. I am sure you won't clue anyone in on the fact that what the British referred to as Palistinian Territory is a large part of present-day Jordan, and does not include any part of Israel. The Pali cause is a convienant way for the Arabs to chip away at Israel in hopes that some day she will cease to exist.
Actually ignoramus, 43% of Jewish Israelis are from the MidEast. Were driven from the various Arab nations!
Where is the stolen land, houses and property of these 800,000 Jews who were expelled?
Prior to 1948, the Jews *bought* the land from willing Arab sellers. During the initial war, when the refugees *willingly left*, Israel captured the land in the rest of Israel proper. Very few of the inhabitants in Gaza/West Bank/Golan were "forced" off of their land.
But then, that's just historical fact, and if it doesn't serve "the cause," then why bother with it? Just make stuff up because it sounds good. (/sarcasm)
If you can see a synagogues on fire in England, France, Germany, and Spain. The cowboy mentality may say to hell with all these countries, and to hell with the UN, however, the intellectual thinks about the ramification/the long-range effects on Israel's public image. You nut cases need to tone down the rhetoric a couple of notches. There are one billion angry Moslems on this planet. They are scattered in every damn corner of the world! The Moslem embassies in Washington can bring in explosives in their diplomatic pouches, and cause havoc to our subways/malls/buildings….You cannot corner a dog and keep pestering him with a stick and expect him not to bite back.
Suicide bombers are murderers and stupid, and Israel rightfully kicked their ass; now, can we go back to rational negotiations to calm that mess down a bit?
Dunno'. Why don't you ask the Jews who were driven out of their homes in Europe and South America. The Jews have outnumbered the "Palestinians" since the first modern census was taken in 1820. It was only since around 1880 when regional instabilities forced "Palestinians" to move to present-day Israel in significant numbers. The greatest growth of what you call "Palestinians" occurred in this century between the two world wars, when Muslims from neighboring countries (and places like India, Bosnia, and Sudan).
Have you ever considered investigating the facts before you open your mouth?
