How to kill Palestinians

[Carey]

Carey, Your ingnorace of the history, the occupation and Islam in Israel/Palestine is so very evident in your above comment. How might you explain Christians, Muslims and yes Jews (indigenous Jews not Ashkenazi Jews) living side by side in neighborly love (for centuries) prior to 1948? How might you explain why a Muslim family keeps the keys to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher?

Hahahahaha neighboorly love???


A BRIEF HISTORY OF PALESTINE

As a geographic territory, what is generally thought of today as "Palestine," has had many names from the earliest times to the present. The ancient Egyptian name for the region was Kharu in the south and Retenu in the north. Prior to its conquest by the Israelite Hebrews under Joshua, it was known as the "Land of Canaan," and afterwards it received the name Eretz Yisrael -

, or "land of Israel" (I Samuel 13:19). As recorded in Ezechiel (26:20), Palestine was also referred to as Eretz Chayim in Hebrew,

- land of the living. However, the land east of the Jordan river was named separately as Ever ha'Yardan,

- "the other side of Jordan." During the divided kingdom period after the death of King Solomon (10th to 6th century B.C.E.) the Northern and Southern Kingdoms were known as "Israel" (also Samaria) and "Judah" respectively. In the Northern Kingdom, the tribe of Ephraim was the largest, and for this reason, the Northern Kingdom was often called "Ephraim.". The Asserian king Adadnirari IV spoke of the "land of Omri" in referring to the Kingdom of Israel.

For the 400 years prior to 1918, Palestine was a small part of the Ottoman (Osmanli) Empire after their conquest of the Mamelukes in 1517 by Salim I. Since then, the Jews of the Diaspora sought refuge in Palestine from Christian persecution and expulsion despite spasmodic ill-treatment by their Muslim rulers.

During World War I, British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour wrote to Lord Lionel Walter Rothschild of the Zionist Federation in England the following letter of November 2, 1917:
"I have much pleasure in conveying to you on behalf of His Majesty's Government the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations, which has been submitted to and approved by the Cabinet:
His Majesty's Government view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and the religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.
I should be grateful if you would bring this Declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation."
The above Balfour Declaration was issued with the support of the French government and President Woodrow Wilson of the United States. Official approval came from France on February 14, 1918, from Italy on May 9, 1918, and from President Wilson in a letter to Rabbi Stephan S. Wise on August 31, 1918. This then became the basis of the Mandate for Palestine given later to Great Britain by the League of Nations on July 24, 1922.

Largely as a result of Britain's victories over the Ottoman Turks, more than ten million Arabs were liberated from Turkish rule. The total area of Arab lands in (now Saudi) Arabia was 1,184,000 square miles. Palestine, the only portion of former Ottoman territory that was set aside for a Jewish national home, covered less than 11,000 square miles! Besides his infamous 1917 declaration, Arthur Balfour on July 12, 1920 reminded the Arabs:


"So far as the Arabs are concerned, I hope that they will remember that it is we who have established an independent Arab sovereignty of the Hedjaz. I hope that they will remember it is we who desire in Mesopotamia to prepare the way for the future of a self-governing, autonomous Arab State, and I hope that, remembering all that, they will not grudge that a small notch - for it is no more than that geographically, whatever it may be historically - that small notch in what are now Arab territories being given to the people who for all these hundreds of years have been separated from it."

Legally, the Palestine Mandate was of the "Class A" Mandates in which the mandatory was regarded as the guardian of a people not yet able to stand by itself and which was to be trained for self-government. A Mandate was a system of trusteeship established by Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations for the administration of former Turkish territories and German colonies. It marked an important innovation of international law with respect to dependent territories, differing from a protectorate in that obligations were assumed by the Mandate power to the inhabitants and to the League. It also differed from a sphere of influence in that the guardians had an acknowledged right to raise and expand revenues, to appoint officials, and to make and enforce laws. The Mandate system was administered by the League of Nations through a Permanent Mandates Commission of eleven members. With the creation of the United Nations in 1945, the Mandate system was superseded by the trustee system.
However, the special purpose of establishing the "Jewish National Home" made the terms of that Mandate different from all others.

The official British military occupation of Palestine ended with the appointment of Sir Herbert Samuel, himself an orthodox Jew, as the first High Commissioner on July 1, 1920. Britain then had started to set up a civil government although the final ratification was to occur three years later. The post of the High Commissioner was not an easy one for the Colonial Office to fill. proncipally because of the onerous political responsibility attaching to it. Of Palestine's seven High Commissioners, only two were career apointments (Sir John Chancelor and Sir Harold MacMichael). Of the other five, four were professional soldiers and one was a former Cabinet minister (Sir Herbert Samuel). It was rare for Cabinet ministers to accept colonial appointments in peacetime, for their future centered around so much in British politics at home and not overseas

The rivalry between Britain and France for control of the Middle East (e.g., in Lebanon and Syria), rising Arab nationalism as well as the rising ambitions of Arab leaders, all served to arouse Arab unrest and incite violence.
Following Arab riots in 1920 and 1921 on Jewish agricultural colonies in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Jaffa, which were sparked by the urgings of the Mufti Haj Amim al-Husseini, the (Winston) Churchill White Paper was issued by the British in July, 1922, setting forth official policy in a manner designed to limit the interpretations which had been previously cited in the Balfour Declaration

As Hitler and the Nazis rose to power in Germany, persecutions sent a stream of German Jews to Palestine. The Arabs reacted with new riots, foreseeing the day when the Jewish population would exceed their own.

Because of lack of cooperation of the Arabs, the Peel Commission concluded that the Mandate was unworkable and recommended a partition plan that divided Palestine into separate Arab and Jewish states, as well as a neutral corridor and all Holy Places under British rule.

MEMORANDUM TO PRESIDENT WILSON: 300 AMERICAN JEWISH LEADERS PRESENT ANTI-ZIONIST MEMORANDUM TO THE U.S. PRESIDENT
Morris Jastrow, a Professor in the University of Pennsylvania, stated in his book Zionism and the Future of Palestine that "three hundred prominent American Jews, representing all parts of the United States and men in all professions and in the various walks of life signed a memorandum opposing Zionist aims which they forwarded to President Wilson."

THE MODERN HISTORY OF PALESTINE PALESTINE AS A PART OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE
In 1516 the Ottoman Turks conquered Palestine, and the country was incorporated in the dominions of the Ottoman Empire. Local governors were appointed from Constantinople, to which annual revenues were sent. Various public works were undertaken in Palestine, such as the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem by Suleiman the Magnificent in 1537. Palestine remained under Turkish rule until World War I.
In the early sixteenth century, northern Palestine, as far south as Acre, was temporarily included in the Druse state established by Fakhr ud-Din and set up in defiance of Ottoman authority, but the new state did not last long.
Toward the close of the 18th century Napoleon undertook a campaign in Palestine, capturing Jaffa, Ramle, Lydda, Nazareth and Tiberias in 1798, but his siege of Acre was unsuccessful.
In 1831 Mehemet Ali of Egypt intervened in Palestine. Under his son Ibrahim Pasha, Egyptian troops captured Acre, but in 1834 the Palestinians revolted against the Egyptians. By 1840 the Ottoman authority was fully reestablished in Palestine, and the Palestinians played an active role in encouraging the political reforms in the Ottoman Empire of 1876 and 1908.
The territory of Palestine under Ottoman rule was composed of two areas. The independent Sanjak (district) of Jerusalem was subject to the High Porte in Constantinople. This Sanjak extended from Jaffa to the River Jordan in the East and from the Jordan south to the borders of Egypt. The other area was part of the Willayat (province) of Beirut. This part was composed of the Sanjak of Balka (Nablus) from Jaffa to Jenin, and the Sanjak of Acre, which extended from Jenin to Naqura.
His Eminence the late Haj Amin Effendi El Husseini, on behalf of the Arab Higher Committee for Palestine, testified on the 12th of January, 1937, before the Palestine Royal Commission sent by the British Mandatory Power. He explained the position of the Arabs under the Ottoman rule as follows:
Under the Ottoman Regime the Arabs formed an important part of the structure of the Ottoman Empire. It is wrong to say that the Arabs were under the yoke of the Turks and that their uprising and the assistance which was rendered to them during the Great War were merely intended to relieve them from such yoke. The fact is that under the Ottoman Constitution they enjoyed all rights and privileges, political or otherwise, on an equal basis with the Turks, as the Ottoman Constitution provided for one form of government of all Ottoman territories and elements. The Arabs had a complete share with the Turks in all organs of the State, civil as well as military. There were Arabs who held the high office of Prime Minister and Ministers, Commanders of Divisions and Ambassadors....There were Arab ambassadors, provincial and district governors. There was also a large number of Arab Deputies in both Houses of the Ottoman Parliament, in proportion to their numbers as prescribed under the Ottoman Constitution....There were two Parliaments, two Constitutions. One was made in the early days of the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid, in 1876, and the other was made after the grant of the Constitution in 1908. ..but even in the Parliament under the first Constitution there were Arab representatives. In the first Parliament, you find the President of the Council of the House of Representatives was a Deputy from Jerusalem, Yusif Dia Pasha Al Khalidi. Moreover, the administration of Arab territories was entrusted to elected Administrative Councils. Those Councils were elected and existed in the provinces, districts, and sub-districts. Those Councils were vested with extensive powers in all matters relating to administration, finance, education, and development, but, irrespective of all this, the Arabs were aspiring to the attainment of complete national independence and the regaining of the distinguished position which the Arab peoples had held in the past centuries, when the Arab peoples made the greatest contribution to civilization and to every phase of human activity.(1)

During 1915, the first plans were drawn up by Britain for the partition of the Turkish Empire. In an attempt to win Arab support in the war against Turkey, Britain began negotiations with the Grand Sherif of Mecca, Hussein, afterwards the King of Hedjaz. On October 25 of that year, the British High Commissioner in Egypt, Sir Henry MacMahon, informed Hussein that Britain was "prepared to recognize and support the independence of the Arabs." But MacMahon also added that the areas of Palestine west of the Jordan River and parts of Lebanon would have to be entirely excluded from any future Arab State.

Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People
http://www.un.org/Depts/dpa/qpalnew/committee.htm
In 1975, by its resolution 3376 the General Assembly established the Committee, and requested it to recommend a programme of implementation to enable the Palestinian people to exercise their inalienable rights to self-determination without external interference, national independence and sovereignty; and to return to their homes and property. The Committee's recommendations were endorsed by the Assembly, to which the Committee reports annually. The Assembly has gradually expanded the Committee’s mandate and established the Division for Palestinian Rights as its secretariat.
The Committee welcomed the 1991 Madrid peace process as well as the 1993 Declaration of Principles and subsequent agreements reached by Israel and the PLO. The Committee has strongly supported the objective, affirmed in Security Council resolution 1397 (2002), of two States, Israel and Palestine, living side by side within secure and recognized borders. The Committee welcomed the Quartet’s Road Map and called on the parties to implement it.
The Committee promotes international support for and assistance to the Palestinian people and heightened international awareness of the question of Palestine. In addition to international meetings, publications and informational activities, each year the Committee holds a special meeting in observance of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People (29 November). The Committee, chaired by Senegal, has 22 members and 26 observers.

Don't you find it interesting that Hamas was created and funded by Israel to counter the PLO?

I also find it interesting that many "Palestinian resistance fighters" used Communism as a way to get funding and weapons from the Soviet Union to confront Israel and then when the Soviet Union fell they all of a sudden were no longer Communists....hmmm interesting. The "Palestinians" will use any means necessary to destroy Israel and they will use anyone to help them further their goal not that they actually give a damn about those who support them as long as the support gives them the mandate in the first place. Such is the way of the Muslim and Christian who is willing to go all the way to kill as many Jews as possible with the resources available to them yet their goal has always been the same from day one......destroy Israel and the Jews.

Yes I am very familiar with one sided agendas that is why I filled in the balnks on your post.

The truth will set you free. The land of Cannan is in the hands of the people the Bible said it would be. They rae not perfectand they have a thorn in their side. The Palestinians are that thorn.

Many Israelis will die and bury their bodies for maonths as the Bible says too.

But Israel will recieve all of what was promised them in time in Isaiah 60 and they have already recieved much of it.

Yes their are evil powers influencing all the Governments of this world as prophecied in Revelations 16 even Isreals Government is not immune to this.

But as you say anyone candeny the facts but the truth always will come out in the end.
