		<description>Perhaps what the world ought to consider is formally not recognizing Israel as an independent country, afterall, they only exist because they were illegally created by Britain, the US and deceptive Zionists who basically tricked and bankrupted the world and have failed to render good faith towards the true inhabitants of Palestine--the Palestinians. Why recognize a country with so much dirty laundry in its 60 years of occupying and oppressing Palestinian civilians? What has the Britain and the US gained from such an alliance?</description>

		<description>#35,

I went to an Islamic nation to visit and they took my computer at the airport and said that they need to check to make sure that there is no sexy pictures on it.  It took them forever to check, and they never gave it back to me even when I was returning to America.  My computer was worth $2500, and they stole it.  This is the TRUTH.    None of the things that I said in my previous emails were lies.  Their fingers should be cut off because they stole my computer.  I&#039;m judging these Islamic hypocrites based on their own standards.  If I steal a penny from them, then they would cut my finger, but what happens when they steal my computer?  Nothing.  Do you know what the word hypocrite means?  I&#039;m neutral towards the wars that are going on, but Muslims have already violated my rights many many times.  It is time for payback, and I&#039;m enjoying how they are getting the Karma of their actions.  Your comments about marriage and relationships are wrong too.  What is marriage?  The difference between marriage and a casual relationship is a matter of juristiction and it is up to the individual to decide.  Do you know what the word juristiction means?  My relationship and what I do with my personal life is my business.  If I want to get married, then that is OK too.  I&#039;m not anybody&#039;s slave.  If a Muslim believes that a man and a woman who are in a relationship need his permission to be in that relationship by getting a license from him called marriage or else they should be flogged, then don&#039;t they deserve what they are getting?  I have always respected the rights of Muslims my whole life, but I have learned by sad experience that the treatment is not neutral, so how do I defend myself against them.  Explain to me how to defend myself against a bunch of Islamic hypocrites who are not letting me just be and go about living my life.  Should the fingers of those Islamists who stole my computer be cut off?  I want my computer back.  Do you understand?  I don&#039;t have any kids and don&#039;t plan to have any.  Muslims like you are the winners because you have baby making factories in your houses, so evolution favors you.  This entire planet will be filled with your kids.</description>

when did I every mention the word &quot;disagree&quot;. You specifically said that we need to rehabilate the region because they are uncivilized. I&#039;m sorry but that is the pot calling the kettle black. You may be arab, but you obviously have not looked at the world for what it is.
if you did you&#039;d realize that every culture is fucked up and no one is better than anyone else. I&#039;m just going off your comment and it seems to me you believe that christians have better values than muslims. But in reality thats bullshit and niether of the two should be bragging. If you think that our christian based society doesn&#039;t mame and kill innocent people that don&#039;t agree or have information we want, I would be willing to fill you in anytime. On the flip side I have seen what other side of the field has done.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s Time We Were Frank About &quot;Palestine&quot;

Both the Jews and the Arabs were set up for war by the Rothschild-controlled British Mandate. In that sense, the &quot;Palestinian&quot; people are innocent.

But their claims to antiquity in Israel are utterly false and the truth must be known.

We must build peace on truth and it is simply not true that there was a &quot;Palestinian&quot; culture in Israel from antiquity.

Did you know that the word &quot;Palestine&quot; comes from the Semitic radical p-l-s or f-l-s or p-l-sh, or f-l-sh which means invader, squatter, intruder? That&#039;s what the &quot;Palestinians&quot; call themselves: invaders, squatters, intruders.

Here are some quotes about &quot;Palestine&quot;. I invite you all to vet the quotes for yourselves:

In 1738 Thomas Shaw observed a land of &quot;barrenness…. from want of inhabitants.&quot; 

In 1785 Constantine Francois de Volney recorded the population of the three main cities: Jerusalem had a population of 12,000 to 14,000; Bethlehem had about 600 able-bodied men; and Hebron had 800 to 900 men (Note: The majority of both the Jerusalem and Hebron populations were Jews).

In 1835 Alphonse de Lamartine wrote, &quot;Outside the city of Jerusalem, we saw no living object, heard no living sound. . .a complete eternal silence reigns in the town, in the highways, in the country . . . The tomb of a whole people.&quot; 

In 1857, the British consul in Palestine, James Finn, reported, &quot;The country is in a considerable degree empty of inhabitants and therefore its greatest need is that of a body of population.&quot; 

Mark Twain, who visited Israel in 1867, described it in “Innocents Abroad” as: “...a desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over wholly to weeds – a silent mournful expanse... A desolation is here that not even imagination can grace with the pomp of life and action... We never saw a human being on the whole route...There was hardly a tree or a shrub anywhere. Even the olive and the cactus, those fast friends of the worthless soil, had almost deserted the country.” 

In 1874, Reverend Samuel Manning wrote: &quot;But where were the inhabitants? This fertile plain, which might support an immense population, is almost a solitude.... Day by day we were to learn afresh the lesson now forced upon us, that the denunciations of ancient prophecy have been fulfilled to the very letter -- `the land is left void and desolate and without inhabitants.&#039;&quot; 

As late as 1880, the American consul in Jerusalem reported the area was continuing its historic decline. “The population and wealth of Palestine has not increased during the last forty years,” he said. 

The report of the Palestine Royal Commission quotes an account of the Maritime Plan in 1913: 

“The road leading from Gaza to the north was only a summer track suitable for transport by camels and carts...no orange groves, orchards, or vineyards were to be seen until one reached (the Jewish village of) Yabna (Yavne)... Houses were all of mud. No windows were anywhere to be seen... The ploughs used were of wood... The yields were very poor... The sanitary conditions in the village were horrible. Schools did not exist... The western part, towards the sea, was almost a desert... The villages in this area were few and thinly populated. Many ruins of villages were scattered over the area, as owing to the prevalence of malaria and many villages were deserted by their inhabitants.” 

Lewis French, the British Director of Development in the 1930s, wrote of Israel: 

“We found it inhabited by fellahin who lived in mud hovels and suffered severely from the prevalent malaria... Large areas...were uncultivated... The fellahin, if not themselves cattle thieves, were always ready to harbor these and other criminals. The individual plots...changed hands annually. There was little public security, and the fellahin&#039;s lot was an alternation of pillage and blackmail by their neighbors, the Bedouin.” 

These quotes give an unbroken picture of a land unused, unloved and virtually uninhabited for a span of 200 years. It only became &quot;home&quot; to the so-called Palestinians after Jordan lost the West Bank &amp; Jerusalem and Egypt lost the Gaza Strip to Israel in 1967, in a war that those states prepared for and advertised their intent of &quot;driving the Jews into the sea&quot;. Strangely enough, while Egypt and Jordan occupied them, they were never called &quot;occupied territories&quot;. 

Let&#039;s see what Joseph Farrah, the Arab-American journalist, editor and CEO of WorldNetDaily has to say: 

&quot;In the Six-Day War, Israel captured Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem. But they didn&#039;t capture these territories from Yasser Arafat. They captured them from Jordan&#039;s King Hussein. I can&#039;t help but wonder why all these Palestinians suddenly discovered their national identity after Israel won the war. 
&quot;The truth is that Palestine is no more real than Never-Never Land. ...Palestine has never existed...as an autonomous entity. It was ruled alternately by Rome, by Islamic and Christian crusaders, by the Ottoman Empire and, briefly, by the British after World War I. The British agreed to restore at least part of the land to the Jewish people as their homeland.&quot; 

Other Arab persona, including high-ranking PLO members, have been quoted: 

When the first congress of Muslim-Christian associations met in Jerusalem in February 1919 to choose “Palestinian” representatives for the Paris Peace Conference, the following resolution was adopted: “We consider ‘Palestine’ as part of Arab Syria, as it has never been separated from it at any time. We are connected with it by national, religious, linguistic, natural, economic, and geographical bonds.” 

In 1937, a local Arab leader, Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, told the Peel Commission, which ultimately suggested the partition of Israel: “There is no such country! ‘Palestine’ is a term the Zionists invented! There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria.” 

In 1946, Princeton&#039;s Arab professor of Middle East history, Philip Hitti, told the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry: &quot;It&#039;s common knowledge, there is no such thing as Palestine in history.&quot; 

The representative of the Arab Higher Committee to the United Nations submitted a statement to the general assembly in May 1947 that said “‘Palestine’ was part of the province of Syria” and that, “politically, the Arabs of Israel were not independent in the sense of forming a separate political entity.” 

On May 31, 1956, Ahmed Shukairy had no hesitation, as current head of the Palestine Liberation Organization, in announcing to the Security Council the observation, &quot;It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but Southern Syria.&quot; 

Syrian President Hafez Assad told Yasser Arafat on March 8, 1974, “You do not represent Palestine as much as we do. Never forget this one point: There is no such thing as a Palestinian People, there is no Palestinian entity; there is only Syria. You are an integral part of the Syrian people. Palestine is an integral part of Syria. Therefore it is we, the Syrian authorities, who are the true representatives of the Palestinian people.” 

In March 1977, Zahir Muhsein, an executive member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), said in an interview to the Dutch newspaper Trouw: &quot;The &#039;Palestinian people&#039; does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel.&quot;

So, you see, by your own admission, there never was a &quot;Palestinian people&quot;, just the descendants of the invaders, squatters and intruders that were brought into Israel by the British Mandate.

There is no archaeological evidence for Palestinians cities. It cannot be said that Israel destroyed any such evidence because the archaeological teams are always international.

There is no specifically Palestinian Arabic.

There is no specifically Palestinian culture.

By the admission of the people who call themselves invaders, squatters, intruders there never was a &quot;Palestinian&quot; people prior to the British Mandate. It was during that time that the Rothschild family put pressure on the French government, which controlled the Arab areas around Israel to flood Israel with Arabs, thus upsetting the delicate demographic balance and setting the Jews and Arabs up for war.

It only became &#8220;home&#8221; to the so-called Palestinians after Jordan lost the West Bank &amp; Jerusalem and Egypt lost the Gaza Strip to Israel in 1967, in a war that those states prepared for and advertised their intent of &#8220;driving the Jews into the sea&#8221;. Strangely enough, while Egypt and Jordan occupied them, they were never called &#8220;occupied territories&#8221;. </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s see what Joseph Farrah, the Arab-American journalist, editor and CEO of WorldNetDaily has to say: </p>
<p>&#8220;In the Six-Day War, Israel captured Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem. But they didn&#8217;t capture these territories from Yasser Arafat. They captured them from Jordan&#8217;s King Hussein. I can&#8217;t help but wonder why all these Palestinians suddenly discovered their national identity after Israel won the war.<br />
&#8220;The truth is that Palestine is no more real than Never-Never Land. &#8230;Palestine has never existed&#8230;as an autonomous entity. It was ruled alternately by Rome, by Islamic and Christian crusaders, by the Ottoman Empire and, briefly, by the British after World War I. The British agreed to restore at least part of the land to the Jewish people as their homeland.&#8221; </p>
<p>Other Arab persona, including high-ranking PLO members, have been quoted: </p>
<p>When the first congress of Muslim-Christian associations met in Jerusalem in February 1919 to choose “Palestinian” representatives for the Paris Peace Conference, the following resolution was adopted: “We consider ‘Palestine’ as part of Arab Syria, as it has never been separated from it at any time. We are connected with it by national, religious, linguistic, natural, economic, and geographical bonds.” </p>
<p>In 1937, a local Arab leader, Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, told the Peel Commission, which ultimately suggested the partition of Israel: “There is no such country! ‘Palestine’ is a term the Zionists invented! There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria.” </p>
<p>In 1946, Princeton&#8217;s Arab professor of Middle East history, Philip Hitti, told the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry: &#8220;It&#8217;s common knowledge, there is no such thing as Palestine in history.&#8221; </p>
<p>The representative of the Arab Higher Committee to the United Nations submitted a statement to the general assembly in May 1947 that said “‘Palestine’ was part of the province of Syria” and that, “politically, the Arabs of Israel were not independent in the sense of forming a separate political entity.” </p>
<p>On May 31, 1956, Ahmed Shukairy had no hesitation, as current head of the Palestine Liberation Organization, in announcing to the Security Council the observation, &#8220;It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but Southern Syria.&#8221; </p>
<p>Syrian President Hafez Assad told Yasser Arafat on March 8, 1974, “You do not represent Palestine as much as we do. Never forget this one point: There is no such thing as a Palestinian People, there is no Palestinian entity; there is only Syria. You are an integral part of the Syrian people. Palestine is an integral part of Syria. Therefore it is we, the Syrian authorities, who are the true representatives of the Palestinian people.” </p>
<p>In March 1977, Zahir Muhsein, an executive member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), said in an interview to the Dutch newspaper Trouw: &#8220;The &#8216;Palestinian people&#8217; does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel.&#8221;</p>
<p>So, you see, by your own admission, there never was a &#8220;Palestinian people&#8221;, just the descendants of the invaders, squatters and intruders that were brought into Israel by the British Mandate.</p>
<p>There is no archaeological evidence for Palestinians cities. It cannot be said that Israel destroyed any such evidence because the archaeological teams are always international.</p>
<p>There is no specifically Palestinian Arabic.</p>
<p>There is no specifically Palestinian culture.</p>
<p>By the admission of the people who call themselves invaders, squatters, intruders there never was a &#8220;Palestinian&#8221; people prior to the British Mandate. It was during that time that the Rothschild family put pressure on the French government, which controlled the Arab areas around Israel to flood Israel with Arabs, thus upsetting the delicate demographic balance and setting the Jews and Arabs up for war.</p>
