    And of course Muslim conquest of Jewish land would never involve any theft of Jewish land, right?

    Come on, be realistic about it. Yes, it was back in the middle ages and has bugger all to do with what is going on now, but it would be quite naive to insist that everything must have been just peachy back then. Although we don't have much in the way of records, it is more than likely that some theft of land would have occurred.


    If that region was under Jewish control and the muslims conquered it then yes it would be theft of Jewish land but afaik it was under the control of Byzantine Empire. I've never thought or implied things were peachy I've always known how violent the Islamic conquests were.

    If you mean Jewish tribes who lived in Arabia before Islam and are no longer present, then yes its most likely their lands were stolen and they were forced out or killed. And then there's the Jewish exodus that started during the 30s.

    No, I mean Jews living in the area of Palestine and owning land there, regardless of the fact that the area was then under the control of the Byzantine empire. Conquest of that area would quite likely mean some theft of land occurring.

    What about the 1930's?

    Oh right, hmm I know that when muslims conquered the Caliph came to an agreement with the Patriarch of Jerusalem ensuring that Christians would be able to practise their religion and keep their land/property as long as they accepted dhimmi status (jizya etc.)  its known as the "Covenant of Umar" I think it mentions Jews cannot live in certain areas or something so it probably did happen.

    In the 30s Jews started to leave their homeland and began migrating to what would become Israel, either because they were zionists or felt increasingly persecuted, after the creation of Israel they had to leave.

    Whether or not the UN recognizes a Palestinian state does not negate the fact that it doesn't exist.

    Quote
    Fidaa Abu Assi, a 22-year-old blogger and English literature graduate in Gaza, believes there is nothing symbolic in going to the UN and securing recognition of a Palestinian state on the 1967 lines. She is “fed up” with the unimplemented UN resolutions and symbolic moves taken by the PA on her behalf.

    “Some Palestinians would rejoice at the thought of finally having a recognized Palestinian state,” she argues in a blog post. “In essence, however, the whole initiative seems pointless, or rather, insidiously dangerous.” Bewildered, she asks, “How could they [the UN] recognize a state that doesn’t even exist? And, wait, hadn’t the PLO already proclaimed a Palestinian state in 1988 on the basis of UN General Assembly Resolution 181?” (“‘No’ to UN Recognition, ‘Yes’ to US Veto,” 22 July 2011).

    Abu Assi’s view reflects the sentiments of a generation that does not seek more UN resolutions and international declarations. Not even a declaration of a state. A state itself is rather what we desire. A state that we can touch, see and live in. We long for the reunification of the more than 11 million Palestinians living in the world. We want to see facts on the ground and tangible results. We crave for the land which has been relentlessly ripped apart in flagrant violation of dozens of resolutions already passed — and then promptly ignored — by the very same UN to which the PA now turns.

    On the contrary, I think it is the only viable solution. My point was that they already had that back in the late 40's, but then decided to go to war over it. Now they think it's a great idea and want the old borders back. Hey ho.

    Huh  " Richard Dawkins "Islam Is One Of The Great Evils In The World" .. And the reason for that is neither Muhammad Nor Quran.  But it  squarely falls on the stupidity of intellectual educated Muslims who shut themselves off due to Brutalities of Muslims leaders in collusion with Islamic preachers. That is slowly changing due to the age of internet and strong support to Freedom of expression.

    Now if the internet were around in the late sixties, all the seventies and the early eighties you would not have been able to associate islam with the palestinian struggle as you are doing now.

    Sure you could have called PLO/Fatah terrorist but not islamic terrorists or that they fighting as an Islamic force. To my knowlege PLO/Fatah were secular. I don't think there were many islamic terrorists around at that time. Terrorists groups that spring to mind, in those days,  would include the IRA, Eta, baader-meinhoff as well as the PLO, the PLO did not use Islam and the world saw the palestinian struggle as freedom fighting.



    Why not? (call it Islamic linked) -because Hamas were yet to form and their infamous charter yet to be concieved, my assertion is that the Isrealis themselves, the clever buggers gave succour and encouraged the formation of hamas (I have provided evidence previously), imo for two reasons

    1. Counterweight to the nationalist PLO/Fatah - (Divide and Conquer)and they succeeded by the ensuing fatah-hamas wars

    2. To Islamicize the struggle - thereby world opinion would see the battle not as a reaction to the common or garden land grab that it was but through the prism of Islam. Because when you have scriptures involved everyone thinks that the problem is intractable, that they have always hated each other (by bringing up verses from a book that is 14oo years old and extrapolating it to the present day)

    I Know YZV that you said you post for everyone but i assume post 398 which has youtube links to Yasser Arafat quoting scripture/islamic events was meant as a response to my post detailing the Israeli islamification of the palestinian struggle, in response i wrote in my post 403


    >>>>>The fact that Yasser Arafat evokes religion in speeches should also take into account the dates. One YouTube link by YZD is dated 1994, the other would be about the same, now I am guessing that this was a reaction to the growing success of Hamas, who had been founded five years previous. Again I state that the creation ( with tacit support of Israel) of Hamas caused the islamification of the Palestinian struggle. Another play by the Israelis.

    I would be surprised if his earlier speeches 60 - 70's contained such references. And I now lol forgotten what exactly was said in the YouTube Links, but I'm guessing it wasn't the fire and brimstone, Jews are apes etc

    He had to counter the weight that had been given to Hamas by the Israelis.<<<<<

    Have you found any evidence of islam being used by the PLO/Fatah prior to the mid-eighties?

    Imo they built these 'bad guys' (hamas) for their own ends and purposes.


    My whole point is that the israeli's always put up obstacles to lengthen the time of any (if ever)just and fair settlement regarding the palestinians. This gives them time to change facts on the ground. Which will make any settlement in the future even more sweet for themselves.

    In your opinion is my argument a good one?

    I am pretty pessimistic about it all, I think the Israeli's will try to increase the time before they have to sit around the table, they are good at doing that, introducinfg new obstacles, some willing dumb Palestinians get played well by them.

    I think in a century or so the Israeli's will be in a secure enough position to say sorry to the Palestinians and pay them reparations. Grant them casino rights, perhaps.

    1. Counterweight to the nationalist PLO/Fatah - (Divide and Conquer)and they succeeded by the ensuing fatah-hamas wars

    2. To Islamicize the struggle - thereby world opinion would see the battle not as a reaction to the common or garden land grab that it was but through the prism of Islam . Because when you have scriptures involved everyone thinks that the problem is intractable, that they have always hated each other (by bringing up verses from a book that is 1400 years old and extrapolating it to the present day)

     well  that is fact ., I gave you guys those 7 points., you didn't comment on that.

    I Know YZV that you said you post for everyone but i assume post 398 which has youtube links to Yasser Arafat quoting scripture/islamic events was meant as a response to my post detailing the Israeli islamification of the palestinian struggle, in response i wrote in my post 403

    well I have to go back and read that 398 & 403., Yes that   islamification or MUMMMIFICATION of brains that are washed with Islam is indeed a problem and the credit goes to Islam and its preachers for creating such problem.

    >>>>>The fact that Yasser Arafat evokes religion in speeches should also take into account the dates. One YouTube link by YZD is dated 1994, the other would be about the same, now I am guessing that this was a reaction to the growing success of Hamas, who had been founded five years previous. Again I state that the creation ( with tacit support of Israel) of Hamas caused the islamification of the Palestinian struggle. Another play by the Israelis.

    Well before 2000 we didn't know anything about these guy and what they were preaching.

    I would be surprised if his earlier speeches 60 - 70's contained such references. And I now lol forgotten what exactly was said in the YouTube Links, but I'm guessing it wasn't the fire and brimstone, Jews are apes etc

    This Jews are apes is going on for long time as long as 1400 years., but people around the world didn't know.  we better burn that shit out of those books..

    He had to counter the weight that had been given to Hamas by the Israelis.<<<<<

    Have you found any evidence of islam being used by the PLO/Fatah prior to the mid-eighties?

    Imo they built these 'bad guys' (hamas) for their own ends and purposes.


    My whole point is that the israeli's always put up obstacles to lengthen the time of any (if ever)just and fair settlement regarding the palestinians. This gives them time to change facts on the ground. Which will make any settlement in the future even more sweet for themselves.

    You see free spirit what you are not realizing is .. this splitting of Islamic groups fighting a cause or fighting each other is not new. It is age old phenomenon. These Islamic political forces always use/used  this splitting/infighting/fighting/killing as the basis of winning  political power through out Islam. It is not specific to PLO, Fatah Hamas etc..etc..

    This Islamic political game has come out in to open because of the internet. other wise  very few people realized this Islamic game.  One of them was Anwar Sheik  Read  his book on line dear Free Spirit

    Free Spirit, yes I said that but you conveniently neglected it without any comment.  that is O.K.


    Oh I didn't think it was for my benefit. And I agree in an ideal world that's how it should be. But I think it is bit far-fetched to say that only Islam is the problem in this seemingly intractable israeli/palestinian problem. You got to take into account the religion/scriptures of the christian fundamentalist from the third party involved in this conflict, America, over there they cheer and quote biblical phrophecies that are being fulfilled by Israel and their scriptures, if I am correct see Armageddon. All scriptures could do with toning down.

    I also put it to you that even if as if I have written elsewhere, Jews, Christians and Muslims were adherents of any other religion the results would have been the same, for all three Abrahamic peoples "of the Book" have been detoured from their faith by the worst excesses of political power-grabbing and war-mongering. Thus, the tragic political results and the mass killings would have been much the same.

    Also in my opinion those with greater power deffo Israel/USA should exhibit greater responsibility.

    You mean to say that you would like to read all those  terror  activities  that emanated from Palestinian Muslims against annihilation of Israel??   Let me give some of the famous ones.. There were plenty of them before internet age., what was missing at that time was ., many people did not know what these Baboons.. the heroes of Islam.. The preachers of Islam enraging the crowd in mosques using Quran/hadith/sunnah.. and houries in heavensLet us not put the dirt under the magic carpet dear Free Spirit.,  Your secular knowledge of PLO/Fatah are what you may have read/seen on TV but you didn't know anyting about the military wings of these organizations. They were all brain washed by Mullahs with Islamic after life  Did that IRA Eta, baader-meinh off shout Jesus we die for you and we kill for you??  would you like to see PLO shouting Allah hooo akbaaar....??



    YZD, yes I'd like to hear PLO of the sixties and seventies shouting Allah hoooo akbaaar lol .I did not suggest that there wasn't any terrorist/freedom fighting action before the advent of the internet. I said it wasn't from an Islamic perspective. All the groups you have quoted are nationalist/secular outfits. (Btw why is an attack in Saudi Arabia, involving the Grand Mosque in mecca got to do with the Palestinian struggle).

    I doubt they were the type of fighters akin to be roused by Mullahs on a Friday, or the type to chase houris in heaven. Evidence ? circumstantial at least, none of the events you list, at face value, consist of suicide bombing or suicide missions. These guys wanted to come back alive, not the modus operandi of your typical houri-chaser.

    The answer to why the Israeli are clever is found in the Jewish supremacy thread, obviously in this case the secualr zionist, cultural jew, rather than the religious ones. The Arabs are dumb perhaps they never had exposure to Europe in their history like the jews, their religion is younger, religion makes you dumber. relatively to the Jews most people are dumb. Generally speaking. And I do admit that the palestinians worse enemies are themselves with the israeli's there or thereabouts.

    You do that and yes, I think the credit should go the clever Israeli's. It was with their help, succour and goodwill that Hamas was able to rise from nothing to governorship. A tacticle move. A neat way of transferring something that was a nationalist/secular/socialist struggle into a islamist one.

    Lol, come off it, history/documantation/radio broadcasts/video footage did not start in 2000, and like I said before it was preaching about houri-chasing then the evidence suggests that those fighters rather come back alive than  meet their maker and bounty. We know that Hamas and its charter had been around since 1987.

    Indeed the well-known Arab illness of infighting, but what made this different was before Hamas, all splinter groups were basically fighting the same enemy and even if there were infighting it was as one secular/nationalist group to another. With the Israeli support of Hamas it pitted a nationalist gropu against a religious one, there was a difference.

    The Independent

    Robert Fisk: Why the Middle East will never be the same again

    The Palestinians won't achieve statehood, but they will consign the 'peace process' to history.


    The Palestinians won't get a state this week. But they will prove – if they get enough votes in the General Assembly and if Mahmoud Abbas does not succumb to his characteristic grovelling in the face of US-Israeli power – that they are worthy of statehood. And they will establish for the Arabs what Israel likes to call – when it is enlarging its colonies on stolen land – "facts on the ground": never again can the United States and Israel snap their fingers and expect the Arabs to click their heels. The US has lost its purchase on the Middle East. It's over: the "peace process", the "road map", the "Oslo agreement"; the whole fandango is history.

    Personally, I think "Palestine" is a fantasy state, impossible to create now that the Israelis have stolen so much of the Arabs' land for their colonial projects. Go take a look at the West Bank, if you don't believe me. Israel's massive Jewish colonies, its pernicious building restrictions on Palestinian homes of more than one storey and its closure even of sewage systems as punishment, the "cordons sanitaires" beside the Jordanian frontier, the Israeli-only settlers' roads have turned the map of the West Bank into the smashed windscreen of a crashed car. Sometimes, I suspect that the only thing that prevents the existence of "Greater Israel" is the obstinacy of those pesky Palestinians.

    But we are now talking of much greater matters. This vote at the UN – General Assembly or Security Council, in one sense it hardly matters – is going to divide the West – Americans from Europeans and scores of other nations – and it is going to divide the Arabs from the Americans. It is going to crack open the divisions in the European Union; between eastern and western Europeans, between Germany and France (the former supporting Israel for all the usual historical reasons, the latter sickened by the suffering of the Palestinians) and, of course, between Israel and the EU.

    A great anger has been created in the world by decades of Israeli power and military brutality and colonisation; millions of Europeans, while conscious of their own historical responsibility for the Jewish Holocaust and well aware of the violence of Muslim nations, are no longer cowed in their criticism for fear of being abused as anti-Semites. There is racism in the West – and always will be, I fear – against Muslims and Africans, as well as Jews. But what are the Israeli settlements on the West Bank, in which no Arab Muslim Palestinian can live, but an expression of racism?

    Israel shares in this tragedy, of course. Its insane government has led its people on this road to perdition, adequately summed up by its sullen fear of democracy in Tunisia and Egypt – how typical that its principle ally in this nonsense should be the awful Saudi Arabia – and its cruel refusal to apologise for the killing of nine Turks in the Gaza flotilla last year and its equal refusal to apologise to Egypt for the killing of five of its policemen during a Palestinian incursion into Israel.

    So goodbye to its only regional allies, Turkey and Egypt, in the space of scarcely 12 months. Israel's cabinet is composed both of intelligent, potentially balanced people such as Ehud Barak, and fools such as Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, the Ahmadinejad of Israeli politics. Sarcasm aside, Israelis deserve better than this.

    The State of Israel may have been created unjustly – the Palestinian Diaspora is proof of this – but it was created legally. And its founders were perfectly capable of doing a deal with King Abdullah of Jordan after the 1948-49 war to divide Palestine between Jews and Arabs. But it had been the UN, which met to decide the fate of Palestine on 29 November 1947, which gave Israel its legitimacy, the Americans being the first to vote for its creation. Now – by a supreme irony of history – it is Israel which wishes to prevent the UN from giving Palestinian Arabs their legitimacy – and it is America which will be the first to veto such a legitimacy.

    Does Israel have a right to exist? The question is a tired trap, regularly and stupidly trotted out by Israel's so-called supporters; to me, too, on regular though increasingly fewer occasions. States – not humans – give other states the right to exist. For individuals to do so, they have to see a map. For where exactly, geographically, is Israel? It is the only nation on earth which does not know and will not declare where its eastern frontier is. Is it the old UN armistice line, the 1967 border so beloved of Abbas and so hated by Netanyahu, or the Palestinian West Bank minus settlements, or the whole of the West Bank?

    Show me a map of the United Kingdom which includes England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and it has the right to exist. But show me a map of the UK which claims to include the 26 counties of independent Ireland in the UK and shows Dublin to be a British rather than an Irish city, and I will say no, this nation does not have the right to exist within these expanded frontiers. Which is why, in the case of Israel, almost every Western embassy, including the US and British embassies, are in Tel Aviv, not in Jerusalem.

    In the new Middle East, amid the Arab Awakening and the revolt of free peoples for dignity and freedom, this UN vote – passed in the General Assembly, vetoed by America if it goes to the Security Council – constitutes a kind of hinge; not just a page turning, but the failure of empire. So locked into Israel has US foreign policy become, so fearful of Israel have almost all its Congressmen and Congresswomen become – to the extent of loving Israel more than America – that America will this week stand out not as the nation that produced Woodrow Wilson and his 14 principles of self-determination, not as the country which fought Nazism and Fascism and Japanese militarism, not as the beacon of freedom which, we are told, its Founding Fathers represented – but as a curmudgeonly, selfish, frightened state whose President, after promising a new affection for the Muslim world, is forced to support an occupying power against a people who only ask for statehood.

    Should we say "poor old Obama", as I have done in the past? I don't think so. Big on rhetoric, vain, handing out false love in Istanbul and Cairo within months of his election, he will this week prove that his re-election is more important than the future of the Middle East, that his personal ambition to stay in power must take first place over the sufferings of an occupied people. In this context alone, it is bizarre that a man of such supposed high principle should show himself so cowardly. In the new Middle East, in which Arabs are claiming the very same rights and freedoms that Israel and America say they champion, this is a profound tragedy.

    US failures to stand up to Israel and to insist on a fair peace in "Palestine", abetted by the hero of the Iraq war, Blair, are responsible. Arabs too, for allowing their dictators to last so long and thus to clog the sand with false frontiers and old dogmas and oil (and let's not believe that a "new" "Palestine" would be a paradise for its own people). Israel, too, when it should be welcoming the Palestinian demand for statehood at the UN with all its obligations of security and peace and recognition of other UN members. But no. The game is lost. America's political power in the Middle East will this week be neutered on behalf of Israel. Quite a sacrifice in the name of liberty...
