A Change Of Tactics, Not A Change Of Attitude.

There are many things indeed in the political realm that make me weary. One of the worst is the notion that the conditions in Gaza are the responsibility of the Israelis. Why are the Palestinians not responsible for themselves or if not them directly what not their fellow Arab and Muslim neighbors? History would tell us that this latest allegedly peaceful protest entitled the "March for Return" is not a change in attitude but rather just a temporary change in tactics.

The Gulf States both Sunni and Shia make billions and billions of dollars every year from the sale of oil. But what funds they do funnel into Gaza and the West Bank goes largely into political operations, arms purchases and the straight up corruption of those in power with very little if any actually getting down to ground level for needed infrastructure and social services. For that they are sent with their hands out to the rest of the world saying "Oh look at how poor and deprived we are. You must feed and cloth and house us."

  1. Palestine was already a free and independent Palestinian
    state. Arabs, including cultural Arabs such as Chaldeans, Akkadians, Assyrians, Aramaics, Phoenicians, and Syriacs, are the only living bloodline descendants of Abraham and the only true Semites, not converted Ashkenazic, Sephardic, Samaritan, African, European, and Indian Jews.

    Why non-Semitic Zionist Jews would use the term Semite to describe themselves is intriguing, to say the least. However, upon close scrutiny the truth reveals itself. Benjamin Friedman freely admitted it.

    They must pretend to be the Chosen Semitic Hebrews of the bible – the real Hebrews are all dead – in order to steal the land of Palestine and treat the Palestinians as Untermensch.

    I've noticed recently on TV, a commercial of Israelis begging
    for money. Really surprising.

    2. There is big hole in this argument. At the conclusion of the 1947 war of independence virtually all of the Jewish populations of the cities of North Africa were expelled to Israel. Those Jewish societies had been there in large part since they were forced out of Israel by the Romans in the first century AD.

      Even before the dispora thousands of Jews had dispersed throughout the Roman Empire seeking trade and commercial opportunities. Judaism is both a religion and a culture. Both have a strong identity with the land and history Israel.

      Beyond the fact that there ideed was inter-martiage between Jews and Romans, there were also large numbers of Romans who were deeply dissatisfied and felt spiritually unfulfilled by Roman polytheism. Judaism's monotheism was where they turned. By some estimates between a quarter and a third of the population we're practicing if not ethnic Jews.

      These conversion we're not just the adaptation of the monotheistic rituals and practices of Judaism but also the cultural and historical identity with the Holy Land.

      This adaptation of a monotheistic religious mindset was one of the primary reasons that Christianity spread through the Roman Empire. As the Apostles of Christ criss-crossed the empire they had a ready made audience of monotheists among whom to shread the word.

      Who is to say however that the decendents of those who did not again convert and remained Jews had no right to maintain their cultural, spiritual and historical identification with the lands of Israel?

      Millions of people came to America and within a generation or two became and remained fully identified as Americans, Even as many of them spread throughout the world in pursuit of trade and commercial opportunities and spreading the message of American exceptionalism and freedom.

  2. I didn't mention it but before the Exodus historically there had never been any sort of a unified state that came close to encompassing a majority of the lands between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. It had long been little more than battle ground where the surrounding empires waged war. Their primary desire was to maintain its city states as satrapies and buffers. Even after the fall of Rome it was never much more than an area of itinerant tribes of goat hearders. It was the Ottomans who eventually both defined the borders and provided the name Palestine which is derived from Philistine which in turn come from the Hebrew term Pelishtim or wandering people. Those Ottoman Empire borders were then carried forward in to the various League of Nations mandates.

    2. Horse feathers. The Israelis fully accepted the the UN partition agreement which implicitly included mutual recognition of both Israel and Palistine. Most of the Israeli territory was barren land in the Negev desert.

      None of the Arab states accepted it and immediatly invaded. The Egyptians even had British "volunteers" i.e. mercenaries, flying their surplus British and American fighter aircraft against the Israelis. They lost, so there was no longer any obligation for Israel to recognize an independent Palestine which Egypt and Jordan made sure never came into existence.

      Additionally, since when are plays, songs or stamps and coins from the British Mandate evidence of the existence of a politically independent Palestine?
