My thoughts, assertions and observations on issues important to me as a Jew, a Zionist, a Revenant in Yesha and as an inquisitive human being.

The Bottom Line - IF the Jewish migrants to the land of Palestine (doesn't matter who "owned" it) came with the hope of living in peace with the people who had lived there for 1200 years, then there would be no problem today. Unfortunately, the Jews came with the hope of driving out the Arabs so they could have the land to themselves because “God gave it” to them (who are the religious extremists?)
But don't take my word for it, read Theodore Herzl's (aka "The Father of Israel") Diary where he said:
"We must expropriate gently the private property on the state assigned to us. We shall try to spirit the penniless population across the border by procuring employment for it in the transit countries, while denying it employment in our country. The property owners will come over to our side. Both the process of expropriation and the removal of the poor must be carried out discretely and circumspectly. Let the owners of the immoveable property believe that they are cheating us, selling us things for more than they are worth. But we are not going to sell them anything back."
When it is the plan of the Jews to steal and cheat and drive out the "penniless" Arabs, how can their be peace?
I do credit the Zionist Jews for masterminding the largest fraud in history, where they have managed to create one of the largest concentration camps in the world, control every aspect of the Palestinian's lives, then when they try to defend their people, Israel says "look...see, we have to defend ourselves, we are the victims, we must destroy...etc", Amazing that anyone with even a grain of intelligence supports such obvious evil.
Well, I disagree.
And for the record, pretty silly if you ask me for us Jews to buy back our land instead of just waiting to take it.
But even sillier for the Arabs not to accept the various compromise proposlas over the past 80 years, go for broke, and end up with next to nothing.
Israel Has A Right To Survive
hey did any of you guys check out that discussion between Daniel Levy and Amjad Atallah? i found some videos on this webzine if you guys want to check it out, pretty fascinating concerning both sides.

The question of whether there is Israeli Apartheid is like asking if there is any such thing as global warming. There are people who say there is no global warming, but people in the scientific community who study such things say there is no doubt about the facts. The same is true for Israeli apartheid, you can deny the “inconvenient truth,” you can call people names who say it, but it does not make it any less true.
Just look at what Israeli human rights group B’Tselem concluded; “Israel has created in the Occupied Territories a regime of separation based on discrimination, applying two separate systems of law in the same area and basing the rights of individuals on their nationality. This regime . . . is reminiscent of . . . the apartheid regime in South Africa.”
What about Israel’s leading newspaper Haaretz, which observed in that “The apartheid regime in the territories remains intact; millions of Palestinians are living without rights, freedom of movement or a livelihood, under the yoke of ongoing Israeli occupation.”
Or Nobel Peace Prize winner Desmond Tutu, who said, “If you change the names, the description of what is happening in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank would be a description of what is happening in South Africa.”
Even the former Prime Minister of Israel, Ehud Olmert, said failure of the peace process will sink Israel into a South Africa apartheid struggle. "If the day comes when the two-state solution collapses, and we face a South African-style struggle for equal voting rights (also for the Palestinians in the territories), then, as soon as that happens, the State of Israel is finished."
If you are still not convinced go to the web site www.itisapartheid.org and find the truth.
Absentee Arab landowners are really the ones to blame. That combined with Europe being way ahead of the Middle East in terms of creating institutions, organizing a political movement etc. The Arab inhabiting the land in the early 1900's considered themselves Southern Syria. Southern Syria was even the title of a popular Arabic Jerusalem newspaper. When the Arabs wouldn't except the fact that their own people were selling the land they were squatting on, they rose up. Peel Commission 1937 called for two states, (a much smaller Jewish one than present day Israel) with an enclave around Jerusalem of an international force. The Arabs had their chance, and decided to play the violence card...too bad the IDF has been better trained and better equipped from a weapons AND morality standpoint. While their should be two states, it is the Arabs who have denied themselves this right by resorting to terrorism. An occupation with checkpoints and blockades is the only way to protect yourself when rockets are being fired at you. Right now rockets rain down on the south, despite the January Operation Cast Lead. What if the IDF withdrew from the West Bank WITHOUT a peace agreement (such as what happened in Gaza in 2005) then what? Rockets raining down on Jerusalem?? On the Kotel? It's time for the Arabs to swallow their ego and talk with Israel to seriously solve the problem and help the Palestinian population.
for an interesting look into the Israel that the world does not see check out The Original Promise. The web site is www.theoriginalpromise.com You will never see Israel the same way again.
