Here is my extensive com...Thanks for the comments.<br /><br />Here is my extensive comment on a thread on Facebook; it provides useful background, although for now I leave it to you to verify its veracity:<br /><br /><i>People who disparage Zionism tend to have an anti-Semitic agenda, whether they realize it or intend it or not. Zionism was merely a push on behalf of Jewish people, who share a common culture, especially religion, to have a homeland. The Russians have Russia, the Italians have Italy... the Arabs now have over 20 different countries, and the Arabs in Palestine had their own country (the Kingdom of Jordan) before a homeland for the Jews was ever established.<br /><br />The Zionist movement did not even uniformly call for self-determination. When the Balfour Declaration of 1917 was issued, the call was for a Jewish homeland in what was then known as Palestine, a British protectorate that ran from the coast of the Mediterranean across the Jordan River and out into the desert; the rights of the few people who lived there at the time (the area had been surveyed and was well-known to be sparsely populated) were protected under the terms of the declaration.<br /><br />Eventually, the Palestinian Arabs got their country first across the Jordan, then Israel was established. The Arab nations called on the few Arabs there to leave the vicinity of Israel so the Arab armies could destroy the nascent Jewish state. Israel won its War of Independence, and the Arab countries cynically refused to take in the Arab refugees who had done what they had been told by Arab governments. This is how the "Palestinian" question came into existence. The one country that has been accepting of these people is Israel; those Arabs who have chosen to side with Israel find their rights fully protected, and they have risen to positions of power in Israel.<br /><br />Furthermore, no one ever talks about all the Jews driven out of Arab countries in that time, but the Palestinian Arab refugee problem, created by the Arabs, gets all the press. The Arabs continue to fund terrorism - while denying the Palestinian Arabs any chance of becoming permanent citizens of the various Arab nations - in order to foment this problem; it is one issue that unites the Arab world. Otherwise, the Arabs fight among themselves (Egypt/Yemen, Iraq/Kuwait) and with their neighbors (Iraq/Iran, Libya/Chad, the Sudanese civil war). If the Arabs either accepted the Palestinians for settlement in Arab countries, or invested in Palestine, the situation could be peaceful for less money than what the Arabs spend to perpetuate war against Israel.<br /><br />This is evident in the ongoing indoctrination process of Palestinian children, who are raised from a young age to prefer death as a martyr over peace; the Palestinian leadership is closely associated with organized crime, and brutally suppresses all domestic Arab opposition to its path of war with Israel. Politically, Yasser Arafat set his goal as the destruction of the Jewish state; he considered every bit of Israel to be "occupied land". Strategically, his method, adhered to today by the Palestinian Authority, is to establish the PA as an Arab state along the pre-1967 "borders" in order to be in an advantageous position from which to launch another war. Meanwhile, the terrorist attacks are intended to goad Israel into a reaction that will provoke a general war against the combined Arab armies.<br /><br />They are very open about this. What helps their cause is that Westerners naively believe that what they say to us is the truth, and that they are feeding lies to their own people; the reverse is true. Westerners have no idea how to handle extremists that wear coats and ties.</i>Early Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02809034506804521618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349436927283734572.post-17072409728409886432011-07-31T08:44:05.770-07:002011-07-31T08:44:05.770-07:00Thanks for your blog !Thanks for your blog !Drak Drukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00924638786383743043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349436927283734572.post-69683591263094253772011-07-31T08:05:59.569-07:002011-07-31T08:05:59.569-07:00Either way, the terrorists calling the shots are h...Either way, the terrorists calling the shots are hidden in a safe place; either way, the terrorists either kill Israelis or they get something they can use as propaganda, knowing that their useful dupes in the West will spread the statistics without looking further into the matter..yes and now the MB gaining force in Egypt!..God help us my friend!!!WomanHonorThyselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211851365273181636noreply@blogger.com
