I didn’t want to express an opinion about something of which I knew very little. Having considered the issue, I now feel I know a bit more about Palestine and a lot more than I wanted to know about Islam. I’ve read several books, listened to hundreds of interviews with Palestinians, with Muslims, ex-Muslims, Israelis and Naomi Wolf. I admire Naomi Wolf a great deal and value her thinking as she strikes me as an honest and reflective person. I admit I was surprised and disappointed at hearing her say that she’d never live in Israel again as she couldn’t live in a country that treated some residents as unequal. I wasn’t aware that an American could attain such an advanced level of education and still be that oblivious to American history. Or is she leaving the U.S. too?
“There is no such country as Palestine. ‘Palestine’ is a term the Zionists invented. ‘Palestine’ is alien to us.” Awni Abdul-Hadi in 1937 to the British Peel Commission
When I began my quest to understand, I had no way of knowing who was right, who wrong through personal experience. I’ve never been to Israel and I’ve never been to Palestine, although I would hardly be welcomed in Palestine despite the fact that 20% of the Israeli population is Muslim. Talk about your apartheid states!
I’ve listened to the cries of “genocide” as well as apartheid from the Arab population now living in what was once Judea, now the Palestine territory. But an apartheid state, such as South Africa was doesn’t exclude Africans from the land that was stolen from them. They were considered South African as well, but second or third class citizens. I would say far more like the way Jewish residents were treated in Arab countries pre-1948. And could hardly apply to Palestinians since they have no state and are not a part of Israel for a very valid reason. When people are clearly trying to destroy you, in what world would you trust them?
“Peace for you means the destruction of Israel. We are preparing for an all-out war, a war which will last for generations.” Yasser Arafat (Egyptian born and bred)
With the depth of Jew hatred witnessed from the so-called civilized West, it is clear that the Jewish people, in order to survive, need a land of their own, which is the meaning of zionism. Decent people everywhere are outraged that what was left of the Jewish people following WW2, should have the gall, the audacity, the chutzpah, to think they were entitled to a land of their own just as those judging them have. And not just any land, but the land from which they were originally exiled, since quite clearly no country was coming forth to invite them into their country - either then or now.
“O God, strengthen Islam and Muslims, humiliate infidelity and infidels. O God, destroy your enemies, the Jewish and crusader enemies of Islam.” Shaykh Jamal Shakir, Jordan TV
It truly astounds me that the people who, percentage wise, have contributed more to the intellectual growth, health and physical longevity of the human race than any other ethnicity are so vilified. Clearly a case where too many of us are anxiously pursuing a world controlled by Idiocracy. The Palestinians could have created a state in Palestine just as the Jews have, it has been proposed several times but the Arabs have far less of an interest in having a state of their own than they do in eliminating all Jews from what they believe is their land. They have opportunistically been referring to themselves as Palestinians for perhaps the last fifty years.
“The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct Palestinian people to oppose Zionism. For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem*. Zuheir Mohsen, Head of PLO Military Operations, 1977
*Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem are all Hebrew names
The West has been quite successful in their indoctrination of their populations that so many trusting people have been willingly injected with an untested toxin into their own precious bodies and that of their loved ones, multiple times. They’ve been even more successful in promoting the lie that the Ukrainian fascist government which gained power through a coup orchestrated by the U.S. in 2014 under the Obama administration was not clearly yet one more attempt at weakening Russia’s perceived ability to prevent U.S. hegemony. Those who question the lies they tell us are vilified, censored, silenced. Just so the Muslim religion, both the Black Muslims here in the U.S. and the Muslims throughout the world are taught through their religion to hate the Jewish people, that Jewish people are their enemy and, at least in the Arab world, that murder is not wrong if you are killing for your religion. It is a religion that puts itself above human life. I looked at their recent history as opposed to Israel’s. I have seen no instances in which Israelis have murdered people for criticizing their religious beliefs, but many in which Muslims have. No one fears criticize Judaism or Christianity, or any other religion or ideology, but it is not the same for Islam.
“The Prophet said: the Jews will hide behind the rock and tree, and the rock and tree will say: oh servant of Allah, oh Muslim this is a Jew behind me, come and kill him! Why is there this malice? Because there are none who love the Jews on the face of the earth: not man, not rock, and not tree; everything hates them. They destroy everything, they destroy the trees and destroy the houses. Everything wants vengeance on the Jews, on these pigs on the face of the earth, and the day of our victory, Allah willing, will come.” Shaykh Ibrahim Mudayris, Palestine Authority TV
I suspect the hatred of Jews emanates from Jewish refusal to acknowledge Islam as the “last word” in prophecy. They have taken our history and repurposed it to suit their own agenda. Islam demands obedience to authority whereas Judaism questions it. So when I hear people chanting “Free Palestine” I can’t help but wonder, from whom and from what? And if they got the freedom they claim to be seeking, would that include freedom from hatred, from a totalitarian government, from the enslavement of women which is the way of life in most of these countries. A young Iranian girl was recently murdered by the State for refusing to cover her hair, which apparently means she was tempting men and like a lot of male-dominated countries, it’s easier to imprison women one way or another than to teach men to respect them.
“Jews subscribe to a belief in racial superiority. Their religion even teaches them to call down curses upon the worship places on non-Jews whenever they pass by them! They arrogantly refer to anyone who is not Jewish as ‘gentiles’ equating them with sin.”
Islam is now only second to Christianity in size; 2 billion Christians, about 1,791 billion Muslims in the world today. Compared to 15 million Jews - the arch nemesis causing all the problems! Poor Goliath is being set upon by the mean bully David! Good thing there’s so many people with a sense of what they interpret as “social justice” to help set things right for poor Goliath. They could not care less about Palestine, but rather are mad with rage that a splinter of “their” land (conquered by Muslims in the 700’s when those living there were given a choice: convert or die). It is not dissimilar to the abusive husband who threatens his wife with death if she dares to leave him - “if I can’t have you no one will” he says. This is an ideology that says that a lot, not just about a splinter of land when they contain an entire ocean of it, but also about members who are under threat of death if they choose to leave. I understand that Ayaan Hirsi Ali has been under 24 hour armed guard since a fatwa against her was left pinned to the chest of the murdered Theo Van Gogh. Not really a fan of hers, but that does not mean I wish her anything but good health and happiness.
“Let me ask you a question: Is it okay for us to talk about the coronavirus because it is 'hot news' and forget about the Jews, who are more dangerous than AIDS, coronavirus, cholera, and all the diseases of this world?...If you want to be saved from these deadly diseases, we should all remember Jihad.” Jordanian Islamic Scholar Ahmad Al-Shahrouri Yarmouk TV (Jordan) March 8, 2020
I am quite aware of the role the U.S. and its allies have played in the Middle East (and elsewhere) in order to manifest their own greed determined psychopathy. I don’t justify it. However, for some reason it has not caused anything close to the rage that Israel fighting back to protect itself has. The compassion shown for a population, now calling themselves Palestinians, a name created by the Roman Empire to punish a population that fought back against colonization of their homeland and were rewarded with exile, enslavement, persecution and murder for over 2000 years by both Christians and Muslims does not exist for the Israeli population.
“For behold, in those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat and I will enter into judgment with them there, on hehalf of my people and my heritage Israel, because they have scattered them among the nations and have divided up my land.” Joel 3:12
Nor apparently for the sub-Saharan Africans who are now being enslaved and sold in open air slave markets that should be named after Clinton and Obama. I wonder if the Arabs still castrate their male slave victims. Oh well, not important. Not when the cherished Palestinians are forced to share land with Jews! After all, if it wasn’t for the brilliance of the Palestinian Karl Landsteiner who discovered blood types, millions more people would have died, could still be dying. Oops, my mistake. Dr. Landsteiner was a Jew. (Of course).
“On their holy feasts, especially the Eid al-Kabir, crunchy bread is eaten, and the crime is that this bread is not kneaded unless it is kneaded with the blood of a non-Jew from the goys.” —Dr. Nasser Al-Yafawi , Director at the Ministry of Education in Gaza Facebook, October 9, 2020
Dr. Al-Yafawi is obviously an authority on Jewish culture. He knows all about our holiday - Eid al-Kabir and how we love to eat “crunchy bread” but he missed something important. I think it’s the Bible. Had he read it, he would know that blood is forbidden to Jews, even on Eid al-Kabir when Muslim holidays are happily celebrated by the Jewish people. He should know that since it was copied to his own religion. And a short return to the subject of apartheid, Jews living in Muslim countries were required to pay a “tax” to enable them to survive where they were treated as inferiors, equal as the Muslims called them, to pigs and dogs. Life in Muslim countries for the Jews were probably very much like the life of Black Americans in the Jim Crow South. The Arabs who now call themselves Palestinians can accept Jews as inferiors, never as equals even if it takes them using every last woman and child in Gaza as human shields.
“When the Palestinians love their children more than they hate the Jews we will have peace in the Middle East.” Golda Meir
There are 22 Arab-Muslim countries in the Middle East, all ruled to one degree or another, by sharia law. Few provide any rights for women including those more closely approaching the 21st century rather than the 7th where many of them remain. The total Arab territory comprises five million square miles and Israel 8,019 square miles, about the size of New Jersey. It is quite clear that the Palestinians are more engaged in destroying Israel than in building anything. They have received billions of dollars in aid and used it to buy arms and build tunnels and most importantly, enrich whatever psychopath or group of psychopaths is currently gorging themselves on this self-created tragedy.
“If half the money donated to Palestine were donated to Haiti instead, Haiti would be a paradise today, not a wasteland like Palestine.” Selene Johnson
The general meaning of a religion, for me, is a philosophy providing a spiritual and moral guidepost with which to grow as a human being. Even if you don’t achieve those goals, they are there to guide you. Apparently the only goal of Islam is worship of Islam, loyalty to Islam; the greatest you can achieve is to die for Islam. It looks to me that It would be better defined as a hate-filled death cult than a religious practice that provides a conscience for people, as something to aspire to. I must assume that there is more to it that I don’t see that would draw people to this belief system. And to be fair, the same could have once been said of the Catholic Church, although in my opinion, they still have a long way to go. But they did stop killing people (as far as I know), banning books and movies and I do believe they no longer demand Fish Fridays. So religions, just like people, can improve with age and wisdom. Personally, I prefer that we each have a religion that we create for ourselves. Causes a lot less trouble.
Fathi Hammad, Hamas Politburo member: “There are Jews everywhere. We must attack every Jew on planet Earth! We must slaughter and kill them, with Allah's help. We will lacerate and tear them to pieces.”- Gatestone Institute, July 14, 2019
The best I could find out about Islamic terrorist attacks claims that between the years 1979 - 2021 there have been 48,035 terrorist attacks carried out by followers of this religion which resulted in 210,138 deaths and far more injuries. February 1st will be the 23rd anniversary of the beheading of the journalist Daniel Pearl for the unforgiveable crime of being Jewish. The murderers released a videotape of their crime, proving no shame and no conscience and that is what this religion has taught them. To win at all costs and they have clearly stated their goal is to kill the last Jew on the planet. So by what reasoning does any Jewish person, or any person of good conscience, justify supporting such people?
The Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslims, O Abdullah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (the Boxthorn tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews. (related by al-Bukhari and Muslim) - from the Muslim Hadith (Book of Rules)
All of this for a parcel of land the size of New Jersey from a people with ownership of land almost twice the size of the United States, almost as large as the U.S. and Canada combined. Until they decided it was opportune for them to adopt “Palestinian” as their description, they referred to themselves as Arabs as the majority of those living in this area settled there as they accuse the Jews as having done. They came predominantly from Jordan, Syria and Egypt. I have no idea why they would choose to be represented by groups espousing violence such as the PLO or Hamas. They were advised by the other Arab countries not to accept land for a state of their own, to keep alive their own victimhood in order to help remove Israel, hated only for being Jewish. They have mastered the art of playing the victim. You’d think the Jews would be better at it since they’re the ones with over 2000 years of experience. 80% of the territory of Palestine was given by Britain to Jordan to create yet another Arab state, leaving just 20% to be divided between the Jews and the Arab Palestinians.
"Resistance to Israel remains on our agenda, I mean resistance in all of its forms. At this stage, we believe that popular resistance - with all that it entails - is effective and costly to the other side [Israel] ... If you ask me as a Palestinian, I say - our battle is with the Israeli occupation. Our main enemy, not as Palestinians but as Arabs and Muslims, is Israel and the Israeli occupation ... If [Arab] mobilization would begin for the liberation of Jerusalem; if money [spent] and swords drawn in the face of the Zionist enemy, that would be great ... Until now we don’t have nuclear weapons. Believe me, if we had nuclear weapons we would use them tomorrow morning."
They have done their best to hijack the Jewish identity up to their latest in which they have converted Jesus from his Jewish birth in a Jewish land to being a Muslim 700 years before it was created and in a territory that did not exist as such at the time. They announce to all who’ll listen about being “genocided”, what Israel is doing to them is a “holocaust”. Their hijacking of Jewish history would be far more amusing had the Arab/Muslim populations not been fully in support - and participation with a genuine holocaust and the determination to murder every last Jew on the planet. Pretty harsh for the “crime” of not accepting their ideology as the next step in Judaism. Problem is in a genocide, populations usually dissipate, they don’t grow as Palestine’s has 2% a year for years In 1949 the Arabs living in the Palestine territory amounted to 944,809 and with the horror of this genocide being afflicted upon them by the Israelis who simply want to be left in peace, is a current population of 5,620.605. A very unusual result for a genocide.
The “nakba” they keep crying about occurred because they were told to leave by the five Arab nations who attacked Israel upon its founding and promised resettlement when they won. But they lost. The Muslims who remained in their homes became Israeli citizens and are approximately 20% of the population. The Palestinians who lost their homes in the resettlement should long since have been accommodated by their leaders, the people they should be angry at, not the Jews. Something else they’ve hijacked from the Jews:
On that same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying “to your descendants I give this land, from the River Euphrates to the River of Egypt, to the Euphrates River, the River Tigris, and the Jerahmee River, all the way to the Great Sea on the western horizon, the land of the Canaanites” Genesis 15:18
The Jews also have had a nakba - in fact, a number of nakbas. Somehow though they missed the part where they needed to become terrorists and start slitting the throats of unarmed civilians including children. For all the land the U.S. has stolen from Mexico, should we expect terrorist attacks from them at any moment? And the actual genocide of the Native populations in both North and South America! The U.S. government has long had a policy of either assassination of their leaders, or now that we’re more “civilized”, lock them up for life for fake crimes. And unlike Palestine, their populations haven’t been growing 2% a year while they were being genocided. Something else they have hijacked from the Jews - persecution. Only 75 years so far, 3000 more to go till they catch up with Jewish history.
“The concept of Palestinian identity and nationalism is a recent invention. Both historically and in contemporary times, the Arabs living in the area now known as Palestine were regarded both by outsiders and by their own spokespeople as members of the greater Arab population, without a separate or distinct identity. Today, however, it is clear that Palestinian nationalism has emerged and become a political factor.” Prof. Michael Curtis, Bar-Ilan University
I learned, sadly that the Palestinian people are indoctrinated at least from the time they start school, more likely by parents from birth, into perceiving the Jewish people as their enemy, that the noblest most heroic act a Muslim could do is to kill a Jew. From my reading, I would assume that is simply an immediate goal and if they succeed (they far outnumber the Jews) they will then proceed to the more difficult task of ridding the world of Christians. I have also read that Adolf Hitler was a big fan, not of the Arabs, but of this hate-filled totalitarian religion. What more could a dictator ask than to silence women altogether and then turn the men into brain-dead sociopaths.
“The Palestinian woman bids her son farewell, and says to him: "Son, go and don't be a coward. Go, and fight the Jews." He bids her farewell and carries out a martyrdom operation. What did this Palestinian woman say when she was asked for her opinion, after the martyrdom of her son? She said: "My son is my own flesh and blood. I love my son, but my love for Allah and His Messenger is greater than my love for my son." Yes, this is the message of the Palestinian woman, who was over seventy years old – Fatima Al-Najjar. She was over seventy years old, but she blew herself up for the sake of Allah, bringing down many criminal Zionists.” Dr. Ahmad Bahar Palestinian Legislative Council, Sudan TV, April 13, 2007
Frequently mentioned by Gazans as a much admired leader was Al Husseini. This was a man appointed as the Mufti of Jerusalem in the 1920’s who was responsible for several murderous riots, including in Hebron in 1929 which kept the Jewish population in Hebron at zero until 1967 - while the helpless, hapless Palestinian victims of Jewish meanies cry about ethnic cleansing. Al Husseini spent WW2 in Berlin, advising on an actual holocaust. The majority, if not all Arab nations supported Germany and the Third Reich “final solution”. While those actors are gone now, their descendants live on and have not demonstrated that they feel any differently at all. And I think it is important for those people who consider themselves as seekers of justice by supporting a death cult religion that considers a conscience to be something to take advantage of since they have none themselves, to perhaps do a little more investigating before committing to a cause. A response to the Christian saying about turning the other cheek: “That’s good, they won’t see as we behead them.”
”Arabs arise as one man and fight for your sacred rights. Kill the Jews where you find them. This pleases God, history and religion. This saves your honor. God is with you.” al Husseini, Palestinian religious leader, friend of Hitler, Eichmann, Goebbels, Uncle to Yasser Arafat
I don’t believe all Palestinians are vindictive, hate-filled manipulative sociopaths. For the most part, they are victims of an evil cult passing itself off as a religion. The penalty for leaving the religion, or even questioning can be death. It has been amply demonstrated even among the equally indoctrinated western populations that this is an ideology that encourages hate and division. It has occurred to me that the western indoctrination, much like that of a few years past, vaxx vs. unvaxx, is all part of the same agenda to push the herd in the direction favored by the Billionaire Boys Club.
“The Palestinian people have no national identity. I, Yasser Arafat, will give them that identity through conflict with Israel.” Yasser Arafat, late terrorist leader
They say “free Palestine”. Again I must ask what does that mean? What is freedom? Freedom from the Jews? So they can join the other 22 Middle East countries in a state controlled by religious bigotry, misogyny, and totalitarianism? Except there seems to be a major violence problem with Palestine. They have been ejected from other Arab countries for their violent behavior toward citizens. Egypt has built an even bigger wall than Israel to keep out the Palestinians. Notice how they don’t complain about Egypt being an apartheid state?
“I expect our Christian neighbors to understand the new Hamas rule means real changes. They must be ready for Islamic rule if they want to live in peace in Gaza..”
I did want to say that, in watching all those You Tube videos I’ve acquired a newfound love and admiration for Muslim women (and men). At least those who’ve found the incredible courage it must take to leave. Their indomitable spirit, support of each other and fearlessness are awe inspiring. They have grown up in an environment in which every part of themselves is considered shameful. And they also don’t understand the support of so many westerners for Palestine, commenting how harmful it is for those attempting to free themselves.
