Hope nobody posted this one before. A friend just forwarded it to me. I thought it was an interesting perspective.

The same argument can be made for the American Southwest. The Atzlan movement that wants to take it back for Mexico overlooks the fact that, at the time of the Mexican American War, there were fewer than 75,000 (Mexican) people living in California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, and parts of Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and Utah. Only after the Americans had made it a prosperous, productive area, despite a lack of water, did the Mexicans renew their interest in actually living there, as opposed to claiming it as territory.

I've never seen this particular article, but I have read similar ones before. It is well worth reading again. The bottom line is this: There never was any such thing as a palestinian in the sense that this term is used today. "Palestine" was a term used to mean "the land of the bible", and anyone living in this region was a "palestinian", regardless of race, religion, or culture. THe Arabs hijacked this term to add credibility to their bogus claims.

Its a great article...nothing like facts and the truth. Too bad the New York Times have given up on the concept. The Pravda of Liberalism has decided that such facts get in the way of creating another violent Anti-American State. And if a few million Jews have to bite the dust in the process who cares.
Its why facts as these are never reported and the Jewish American community has chosen to be liberals first and Jews second. Thats why one does not hear it from them.
Its pretty sad, that Israel has to relly on an Arab-American (Farah) and Conservative Christians for support.
I'm glad you posted it.

Yeah, and the Stern Gang was the local version of "welcome wagon."
On April 9, 1948 the combined forces of the Stern Gang and the Irgun (military arm of the Revisionist party, commanded by Menachem Begin, later Prime Minister) carried out reprisals in the Arab village of Deir Yassin.
Twenty-three men were led off to a quarry and executed in cold blood, and between 90 and 230 others were shot down in the village.
Menachim Begin's statement afterwards:
"Accept my congratulations on this splendid act of conquest...."
"A SPLENDID ACT OF CONQUEST".

Yep. Even though I'm not in favor of the atzlan movement, I still gotta admit I see some irony in the situation.
In the frontier days, there were many many english speaking white people multiplying like rabbits and spreading accross the continent. The indians were dissapearing almost as fast as the buffalo, and mexicans were scarce too. The mexican government saw that there was no way to avoid the tidal wave of white settlers, so they cooked up a plan to "mexicanize" the white people that moved into texas. They failed, and the "alamo" was the result of their scheming.
Now the reverse is happening. White people are scarce(relatively speaking) and a tidal wave of mexican immigrants is flooding in and multiplying like rabbits. The US government is basically giving up and talking about things like "amnesty" and such. I have a bad feeling that there will be a new "alamo" and this time the mexicans will win.

Good article. Needs reading in order to refute the liars who blast Israel around here.
To: lucy1
When Mark Twain visited the Holy Land in the 19th century, he was greatly disappointed. He didn't see any people. He referred to it as a vast wasteland. The land we now know as Israel was practically deserted. Farah is lying, and stupidly, because it's easy enough to see what Twain wrote:
The population of Jerusalem is composed of Moslems, Jews, Greeks, Latins, Armenians, Syrians, Copts, Abyssinians, Greek Catholics, and a handful of Protestants. One hundred of the latter sect are all that dwell now in this birthplace of Christianity. The nice shades of nationality comprised in the above list, and the languages spoken by them, are altogether too numerous to mention. It seems to me that all the races and colors and tongues of the earth must be represented among the fourteen thousand souls that dwell in Jerusalem.
From The Innocents Abroad, Chapter 53
And oh yes - Twain repeatedly refers to the country as "Palestine".

the fourteen thousand souls that dwell in Jerusalem Oops -- maybe you should have left out this part, as it destroys your argument (a land where the Big City[tm] has a population of 14,000 is rather empty, even by mid-19th century standards).

And oh yes - Twain repeatedly refers to the country as "Palestine". That's because the Jews referred to themselves as Palestinians. Note that Twain referred to what you call "Palestinians" as Moslems. They called themselves either Moslems or Arabs until after 1948, when they decided that they were really Palestinians. Their new "Palestinian" name didn't really catch on until the 1960s.
Did you know that the Jerusalem Post (founded and operated by Jews) used to be named the Palestine Post? Note this historic page from the Palestine Post. Also, what is now the Israeli Philharmonic was originally the Palestine Philharmonic, and today's Israel Electric Company was originally the Palestine Electric Company. You could learn something by reading Joe Farah.

haha
Boy did i screw that up!
I meant in the long run. THey won the alamo, but because of the alamo, they got thrashed really really good.
Maybe this'll teach me to stop doing 3 things at once on the computer, but I doubt it.

Why didn't you post the complete paragraph?
The population of Jerusalem is composed of Moslems, Jews, Greeks, Latins, Armenians, Syrians, Copts, Abyssinians, Greek Catholics, and a handful of Protestants. One hundred of the latter sect are all that dwell now in this birthplace of Christianity. The nice shades of nationality comprised in the above list, and the languages spoken by them, are altogether too numerous to mention. It seems to me that all the races and colors and tongues of the earth must be represented among the fourteen thousand souls that dwell in Jerusalem. Rags, wretchedness, poverty and dirt, those signs and symbols that indicate the presence of Moslem rule more surely than the crescent-flag itself, abound. Lepers, cripples, the blind, and the idiotic, assail you on every hand, and they know but one word of but one language apparently -- the eternal "bucksheesh." To see the numbers of maimed, malformed and diseased humanity that throng the holy places and obstruct the gates, one might suppose that the ancient days had come again, and that the angel of the Lord was expected to descend at any moment to stir the waters of Bethesda. Jerusalem is mournful, and dreary, and lifeless. I would not desire to live here.

Mark Twain said what Farah claimed he said. Twain talked about Palestine sitting in "sackcloth and ashes" and as being undeveloped.
