All these policemen were Hamas members - a universally recognized terrorist organization. To become a Hamas member they had to swear to fight Israel to the death as its the key part of Hamas charter. They got exactly what they bargained for. The missiles fired from Gaza were ineffective then tell your "innocent" Hamas buddies to stop firing them, if they are so ineffective. and Israel responds with overexcessive force. and who said they should not. You don't win wars by using proportionate response, do you? And it's kind of stupid to deny Israel's right to exist and whine about the way it [successfully] defends itself in the very same post, don't you think?
There is no Palestine. They are not citizens at all. It's a made up race and nation. They're outcasts. Read on for the truth. The True History of Palestine: The Nation-State Fallacy By William John Hagan The Houston Home Journal (Warner Robins, GA) Print Edition 08/24/2005 The current debate on the inevitable future of the ?Palestinian Nation? seems to lack one simple fact: Palestine has no past and was never a sovereign nation. The closest thing the Palestinian people have to a history is that there was once a British Colony from which they had stolen their modern name. After the Allied victory in World War Two, it became clear to even the most anti-Semitic Westerners that the Jewish People deserved to have their nation restored. The Nation of Israel?s first record of historically existence is a mention in the Book of Exodus (3:16),however, even earlier references are made in Genesis to the tribes of Israel. It is both biblical and historical fact that Israel was founded by Moses after the Jewish expulsion from Egypt by Ramases II. This would place this event sometime between 1290 and 1224 BC. The reality that the Palestinians want to keep from you is that there has been a Jewish presence in Israel for almost 3300 years. The history of the Palestinian People in far more recent than that of their Jewish neighbors. In fact, ?Palestine? was created by the British Empire in the days after World War II. According to RockwellLazareth author of the essay ?Who are the Palestinians??, ?There has never been a civilization or a nation referred to as Palestine and the very notion of a Palestinian Arab nation having ancient attachments to the Holy Land going back to time immemorial is one of the biggest hoaxes ever perpetrated upon the world! There is not, nor has there ever been, a distinct Palestinian culture or language. Further, there has never been a Palestinian state governed by Arab Palestinians in history, nor was there ever a serious Arab-Palestinian national movement until 1964.? The most disturbing reality is that the ?Palestinians? are not even Arabs at all but Canaanites who have over the years adopted Arab culture and language. For all their history, the Canaanites have been a nomdic sea-faring people who traveled between such nations as Lebannon, Syria,and Turkey but making a premenant home in no land. The British allowed these modren Palastinian Canaanites to set up their tents in colonial Palestine so they could be used as a cheap source of labor for the citrus industry. This historical fact leaves the so-called Palestinians with a far more blundering claim to Israel than illegal Mexican immigrants would have to the United States.
This is the number one failure of the Palestinian leaders. The Jews took this deal and since then the Israel state has more then doubled in size. You can not develop a society without the power within a recognized State. A State can borrow money, enter alliances, join treaties, declare war, protect its borders properly under international law. Right now the only protection Palestine has is from the sympathy of the World, They have very little protection from International law.
Okay, so the bible states that there was a nation of Israel. And JRR Tolkien said there was a Middle Earth. Give me a break. This is such vile anti-semitic propaganda.
You are a fool. I see you did not ask this question to my previous post. The history of a state has little bearing on it becoming a state. In modern times it only takes a positive vote from the UN. Having a history helps the vote. The Palestinians could become a state anytime they wish. Yes they would not get the land they want, but few countries have the orginal borders they started with. Untill they become a State they will only be a victim. They would rather have the world feel sorry for them then to develop a strong self-sufficent society
There's just one thing: The UN Partition Plan was written in 1947, but the entire concept of a 'Palestinian People' as a distinct nationality wasn't invented until two decades later. The only unenforceable farce here is your anachronistic sense of history.
The whole thing is about as substantive as Bloods and Crips. Someday mankind will evolve towards what so many cite as the boogeyman ...one world, no borders, no leaders.
================== A] Great points.Guess my question to my hebrew friends, why havent they destroyed the terrorists , all of them??????. OK, place for some mercy, perhaps Israel thinks....................................... B]I dont rubber stamp everything Jewish; Abe Foxman rebelled against the Rabbi . Abe Foxman tried to remove the 10 commandments from the courthouse.Rabbi Daniel Lapin called those Jews[Abe Foxman types] secular fundamentalists. c] But even the meanest Jews[a rather small %, frankly] are so much wiser than your average Arab;its a shame there are so many Anti-Semites in Chicago. Anti Semites in Chicago may have 12 Jewish friends[truely], but may or may not cut a deal with Iran to hurt all Israel, even with 12 Jewish friends. Word to wise. Also,no one , twist my words, as anti-arab always. I am on record complimenting [heart felt]the King of Arabia ''saying USA, cut down your gas taxes'' So reguardless of gas tax cuts; that Arab king got the gas-oil trend right-down/downtrend.LOL
A large majority of people in current israel are descents of thief and criminals who stole land from and killed original peoples of palestine. They have no right to be there.
Only a minority in current israel have a right to be there. majority came from elsewhere and stole the lands from the original people, and killed and thrown out the rest. They have been committing crimes in palestine soon after the creation of the zionist movement. They have not stoped to this day. Imagine the number of palestinian children, women and eldery who have been killed by them over a century.
