Arabs should Stop Fueling Israeli Jets?

FOR CENTURIES there was no such conflict.

In the 19th century the land of

Palestine was inhabited by a multicultural

population – approximately 86 percent

Muslim, 10 percent Christian, and 4 percent

Jewish – living in peace.

Zionism

IN THE LATE 1800s a group in Europe decided

to colonize this land. Known as Zionists,

this group consisted of an extremist minority

of the Jewish population. They wanted to create

a Jewish homeland, and considered locations

in Africa and the Americas, before settling

on Palestine.

At first, this immigration created no problems.

However, as more and more Zionists

immigrated to Palestine – many with the

express wish of taking over the land for a

Jewish state – the indigenous population

became increasingly alarmed. Eventually,

fighting broke out, with escalating waves of

violence. Hitler’s rise to power and Nazi atrocities,

combined with Zionist activities to sabotage

efforts to place Jewish refugees in western

countries, led to increased Jewish immigration

to Palestine, and conflict grew.

UN Partition Plan

FINALLY, in 1947 the United Nations decided

to intervene. However, rather than adhering to

the democratic principle espoused decades

earlier by Woodrow Wilson of “self-determination

of peoples,” in which the people themselves

create their own state and system of

government, the UN chose to revert to the

medieval strategy whereby an outside power

divides up other people’s land.

Under considerable Zionist pressure, the

UN recommended giving away 55 percent of

Palestine to a Jewish state – despite the fact that

this group represented only about 30 percent of

the total population, and owned under 7 percent

of the land.

1947-1949 War

WHILE IT IS WIDELY and correctly reported

that the resulting war eventually included five

Arab armies, less well known is the fact that

throughout this war Zionist forces outnumb

e red all Arab and Palestinian combatants

combined – often by a factor of two to three.

Also contrary to popular belief, Arab armies

did not invade Israel – virtually all battles were

fought on land that was to have been the

Palestinian state.

Finally, it is significant to note that Arab

armies entered the conflict only after Zionist

forces had committed 16 massacres, including

the grisly massacre of over 100 men, women,

and children at Deir Yassin. Future Israeli

Prime Minister Menachem Begin, head of one

of the Jewish terrorist groups, called this a

“splendid act of conquest,” and stated: “As in

Deir Yassin, so everywhere, we will attack and

smite the enemy. God, God, Thou has chosen

us for conquest.” Zionist/Israeli forces committed

33 massacres altogether.

By the end of the war, Israel had conquered

78 percent of Palestine; three-quarters of a million

Palestinians had been made refugees; over

500 towns and villages had been destroyed; and

a new map was drawn up, in which every city,

river and hillock received a new, Hebrew name,

as all vestiges of the Palestinian culture were to

be erased. For many decades Israel denied the

existence of this population, former Israeli Prime

Minister Golda Meir once saying: “There is no

such thing as a Palestinian.”

1967 War & USS Liberty

IN 1967, Israel conquered still more land.

Following the Six Day War, in which Israeli

forces launched a highly successful surprise

attack on Egypt, Israel occupied the additional

22 percent of Palestine that had eluded it in

1948 – the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Since,

according to international law it is inadmissible

to acquire territory by war, these are occupied

territories and do not belong to Israel. It

also occupied parts of Egypt (since returned)

and Syria (which remain under occupation).

Also during the Six-Day War, Israel

attacked a US Navy ship, the USS Liberty,

killing and injuring over 200 American servicemen.

President Lyndon Johnson recalled rescue

flights, saying that he did not want to "embarrass

an ally." (In 2004 a high-level commission

chaired by Admiral Thomas Moorer, former

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, found this

attack to be “an act of war against the United

States,” a fact few news media have re p o r t e d . )

Current Conflict

THERE ARE TWO primary issues at the core of

this continuing conflict. First, there is the

inevitably destabilizing effect of trying to maintain

an ethnically preferential state, particularly

when it is largely of foreign origin – the original

population of what is now Israel was 96 percent

Muslim and Christian. Yet, Muslim and

Christian refugees are prohibited from returning

to their homes in the self-described Jewish

state. (And those within Israel are subjected to

systematic discrimination.)

Second, Israel’s continued military occupation

and confiscation of privately owned land in

the West Bank, and control over Gaza, are being

resisted by Palestinian inhabitants. Shall I countinue?

If Israel did any of what you state, then why do over one million Israeli Arab citizens choose to stay there?

Why do they speak up for Israel? http://www.arabsforisrael.com/ ?

Arabs sit in the Israeli parliament. They make and break policy. Does that SOUND like a state that you are describing?

Israel has to respond to Hamas terrorism. I'm sure you'd prefer that instead, she just let innocent Israelis keep on being killed. But hey, who cares what YOU prefer?

If people were attacking you and YOUR loved ones for eight years, what would you do? Israel has waited eight years. Now she's fighting back. You don't like it? TOUGH.

if you think israel is "a state that pursues terrorism, war crimes and crimes against humanity with premeditation." then I don't think I want to know what you think of the US after the Debacle in Iraq!

Israel does not attack civillian targets.

Palestine teaches this: (link)

Why should Israel not have a country? The French have one, the British and so on. I support the nation of Israel.

And so just who should stop fueling the hamas` rockets ? Take some time and read below and miraculously "understanding" will show you the way !

Israeli jets don't use crude oil as fuel.

Most Arab nations don't process oil into distillates.

Israel has many times reported they're going to do regardless of it takes to keep away from Iran from paying for nuclear weapons. think of roughly it? in the adventure that your u . s . a . grow to be smaller than Cuba and a rustic the dimensions of Mexico says they prefer to wipe you off the face of the Earth, you will take counter-measures. So as quickly as Iran has come close sufficient, i'm confident the Israelis may be the 1st to make certain given each and all the surveillance they do. while that day comes in the direction of the middle or end of the decade, I do wish that u.s. is oil self sufficient. the 2nd Israel strikes Iran, the entire area will grow to be a hell hollow and it incredibly is going to be a large number u.s. shouldn't get entangled in until eventually each and all the worldwide places beg us to take action (like in worldwide conflict 2). earlier that ingredient comes, we would desire to constantly be capability self sufficient and not count on the oil refineries in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain and so on. each and all the US has gained from paying for their oil and protecting those refineries is terrorist assaults on our soil, for what? with the aid of fact they think of we are doing away with their aspects while in certainty, a number of the wealth interior the middle East is by technique of our distant places oil dependancy.

Get your facts straight - Israel doesn't buy oil/fuel from arab countries.

Lets forget Hamas proven terrorist record while we are at it.

I am happy to provide you with sources proving that they are a terrorist group.

your question is typical of all of the brain dead fools that support the scum known as hammas,get a brain LUV,
