yeah!!! why dont u open your eyes and really look! i did not know what Israel was until i was made aware of it at my all christain school. I mean there was alot of propaganda to support Israel, but inspite of all of it! for some reason, when ppl talked wow…I did not even know Israel, and did not really have an opinion on Jews, but I tell you, there is aloooottt of hate! pure hate for Israel…u have no idea what is brimming under all those smiles!
Thre is alot of Americans that feel that the reason we invaded Iraq and got bombed in the first place was b/c of the Israel. now the Jewish lobby in this country may be able to lynch Mel gibson for what he said, but all they did was scare ppl into keeping quite - the disdain is still there! and its not coming from us muslims!
OO! and here are some articles i found on AIPAC! note none of these are by muslims/ arabs (the ppl you hate/ and think are sub-human):
I also want to edit!! that while i send msgs to you all! Captain1 happens to be editing me heavily!!!!! i mean heavily! and he/ she has not been particularly polite about it! so there maybe stuff amiss in what i write!!
I mean if there are gonna gag me, i am def. gonna tell!
SA resistance took the form of proxy wars in neighbouring states...even Cuba was involved.
and i want to add here also that suicide bombing isnt specific to Muslims, and neither was it invented by the Muslims either. gorilla warfare has been around for some time. Its been used by europeans mostly i think!!! although i need to confirm this...picoico - would you perhaps know? :)
I mean if there are gonna gag me, i am def. gonna tell!
The reason he is editing you are just babbling incoherently instead of presenting a solid case agaisnt Israel and citing known Racists to back up your claims
Gureilla War was started by the Spanish during the Napolean occupation of Spain.
It was started by the residents of Guernica, Spain and hence the name Guerilla Warfare
2nd, Suicide bombing was started by the Japanese during World War II and prefected by Tamil Tigers and Hezbollah in the 1980's and adapted as the premier way to attack by Arab Terrorists not realziing committing suicide is among the biggest sins in Islam
But hey, you can twist the words of the noble Quran to suit your agenda
I am pretty sure there are more articles written by Neo Nazis in Germany
Post those as well
yea totally LOL!!!! did u read what david duke!!!! KKK guy said!!!!
read it...and u will get what i was saying!!!! DAVID duke - yea KKK..KRAZY!!!! said that 911 the fault of the Jews!!!! that the US should put Israel not Osama on top of the list!!!
it merely proves my earlier points!!! the "friends" you think u have - you really dont have them! Muslims do not hate u as much as u think! but...clearly even the KKK hates AIPAC and Israel more then even Osama bin Laden!!! so u really wonder about the money that AIPAC is throwing around the Israeli lobbying efforts..... are they working?!!! i think not!!!
if it were not for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict - Muslims do not harbor ill will towards the Jews!!!
you are not making any sense. Also, quoting despicable characters like David Duke doesn't strengthen your argument.
well that depends on what you think my argument is Luxary item!
Granted David Duke is a a dispicable character, no argument there! however, I am not here praising David duke, I am just making note of the fact that even racist bigots hate in the Us hate Israel more then lets say all Muslims. It is an argument to counter any misconceived notions that Mercery2 may have about how much Israel and AIPAC are loved int he US b/c of ...what did Mercenary say...what they bring to the table! or something to that effect.
AIPAC is neo-con. it often pushes its neo-con agenda ..and promotes politicians who are anti-labor, anti-immigration, etc. Its not loved! it is though feared!
I maybe incoherent after all that back and forth! so pardon what I said. It was in no way intended to bolster David Duke, far from it I hate the guy!!!! he is an Arse and scum!
obviously your bigted self thinks all Muslims just hate Jews…for no reason but b/c they are suddenly ill in the head and want to just hate Jews!!
Well before the British brought ships filled with Jewsih people to Palestine, there were Jews and Muslims living there quite harmoniously!
As well as in Iran! and other Muslim dominant areas!
So do u think that the tensions b/t the Muslims and Jews woudl exist if the Israeli -Palestinians conflict had never happened. Say instead of moving Jews out of Europe if England had given them refuge in England! or outside of Germany until things settled down enough for htem to move back to their homes?
I think perhaps Iran and Pakistan should do the same, they shoudl take boatloads od the Afghani refugees in their borders and move them to Australia. Or the Palestinians, maybe Eygypt and Jordan should fill up ships of Palestinian refugees and move them to Germany and UK!?!
ultimately i think there needs to be a recognition of the aparthied and the violence inflicted on the palestinian people. In addition to a recognition of the right of the Jewsih people to a homeland. Granted the stealing of Palestinian land was wrong, but i think at some point we will have to look at future solutions, and that involves forgiveness.
I think the Palestinian people are capable of forgiveness. Their strength in all of this indicates them to be humble and patient people. I hope that hte Palestinian people forgive and move on.
Additionally I hope that the people of Israel realize that their political leaders are no longer serving thier interests in propogating fear and violence. for while AIPAC's lobbying efforts is making them many allies, it is not making them any friends!
I think the Israeli Palestinian conflit is a truly sad one. We need to not be afraid to stand up for what is right and call what is wrong wrong! the deaths, the occupation, the harrasment of the Palestinian people is wrong. the numbers indicate them to bear the brunt of the violence more so then anyone else in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
I dont believe that Jews and Muslims hate each, i still believe (inspite of Mercenary2K) that were it not for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Jews and Muslims would get along fine, however so long as Israel-Palestine issue remians, i fear the hatred will just grow, and it will hurt broht groups.
A vaible solution has to btoh cater to the needs of the Jewsih ppl as well the palestinians people. the wiping off of 40% of a population can leave any minority group fearing for its existence. the reason why AIPAC and such rightest and often bigoted organizations/ agendas are able to survive is because they is a valid fear. The Jewsih people are afraid of extermination, and I think we as Muslims given our current state of affairs can empathize. therefore their fears must be taken into account, and efforts must be made to protect this vulnerable minority.
However, it must also be taken into account that in efforts to save themselves the Jewsih people inflicted immense violence on the Palestinian people, this must be recognized, to ignore it to hide it, to pretend it didnt happen, to deny it, is fool-hardy.
Neither the Jewish people nor muslims can afford to rely on European christians to solve our problems, or afford to hide behind thier skirts and continue to cater to thier interests in hopes that they will remain our allies. I think there is great potential for anyone, be they muslim, jewish , or christain to malign this probelm and take advantage of it. as is evident by how the Saudi regime (which is as dark and evil as the oil industry they sustain) often uses this conflit to thier advantage when things get heated up on thier streets, it is evident by how AIPAC uses to get funding to sustain the Millitary industrail complex (which is huge - and absolutely horrible for this little planet of ours), and is evident by our current regime (war mongering Bush administration) efforts to find any excuse to attack Iran.
We need to see past the ploys, put aside our patriatism, and think in terms of the global community. I for one do not want to spend our days fighting and killing, this planet and its people have so much good to offer, it is sad that we are not able to communicate with each other simply b/c of our bigotry and hatred, i htink if we could we would realize we are all the same, and that we have much to share and learn from the other.
Jewish and Muslim cultures and traditions are so similar...... I so wish....soooo wish that we could one day look beyong color and creed and celebrate the many many similarities we have!
I try and do that in my daily life, but i can not can not sit by and watch as the palestinian ppl are butchered! I will continue to demand peaceable solutions to this problem, violence no matter who is killed, ultimately hurts both sides. I will demand that the people of Israel recognize the humanity of the people in Palestine that are killed, to see them as innocent human beings...and not sentence them to confined quaters and even to death simpy b/c they are palestinians! not declare them ALL (even children who may never know what it is like to be free) to be guilty of terrorism! Not all palestinians are guilty of ill-will! so why must they all be punished as it they are? not all Muslims/ Arabs hate Jews! not all Jews hate Muslims/ palestinians. but i do hope that all muslims and all Jews recognize the Aparthied in Palestine. I think thats ultimately what this book is about, and i hope ppl are able to read it!
But these policies did not appear out of thin air. Israel was (and is) in a position of strength and it was and is up to the Palestinians to step up the plate instead of electing a terrorist government. You play, you pay and the Palestinians have played an ugly, disasterous game from the beginning.

Revisionist history at it's best. Terrorism is the reaction, not the cause...Israeli policies have been expansionist, racist, and down right brutal from the get-go.
There is no nice way to colonize a place...the average American has come to terms with their brutal occupation of America...and the Brits are all to keen about the evils done in the name of the Queen..why the hell are you so uptight about Israel?
I question anyone's moral compass who thinks that firing bullets at stonet-throwing children on a daily basis is somehow a-okay, while terrorist attacks are the height of evil.
You treat a people like animals (and for God's sake just talk to any right-wing Israeli...they're quite openly racist), excpect them to act the role.
If Israel took Oslo seriously, Hamas would never have been elected. I'm sick and tired about all this talk of 'concessions'....Israel offered a bunch of Banthustans as a Palestinian 'state'...it's clear they never took the talks seriously.
David Duke has some interesting ideas… He espouses the belief that Whites have a right to protect their culture… Much in the same way that other ethnic groups try to protect their cultureal identity by not mixing with outsiders, although, ironically, these people arent considered racist. Jews for example can have their own schools and never mix with anyone outside their community, but they arent considered racist.
Also, he says he left the KKK because his chapter had some elemants which had violent tendancies, which he says he is against.
I agree with his beliefs on Israel… He is against the state of Israel, but not necesarilly against Jews as a people, but then, in Europe and America, critisizing Israel the state is equal to anti-semitism.
So while his motives might be questionable, his ideas, atleast on the surface reflect what a lot of people, particualrly in the Muslim world feel. That the world bends over backwards for Israel at the expense of everyone else.
One of the biggest propaganda campaigns I believe was Israel efforts to try and convince the world that Jews everywhere were suffering… The Jews seem to forget that they lived in peace and security for many many years Under Muslim rule, all while getting their butts kicked out of Europe. Ingrates…
Well before the British brought ships filled with Jewsih people to Palestine, there were Jews and Muslims living there quite harmoniously!

Again you dont know the facts and all you are repeating here are disproved conspiracy theories.
First of all, Israel was created on areas which had a jewish majority, some jews came from outside but it was mostly due to the fact that after the british took over in 1917 hate crimes started against Jews.
Jews moved out of mostly the west bank and areas near Jerusalem to settle in coastal areas and jewish communities in tel aviv and haifa
when israel was created, it was created on areas which had a jewish majority.
arabs attack israel, and israel fights back, expands and the palestinians flee and become refugees, in 1967 arabs attack again and israel takes over all of palestine.
ultimately i think there needs to be a recognition of the aparthied and the violence inflicted on the palestinian people. In addition to a recognition of the right of the Jewsih people to a homeland. Granted the stealing of Palestinian land was wrong, but i think at some point we will have to look at future solutions, and that involves forgiveness.

Exactly. There are some palestinians who are ready to accept Israel's right to exist but when their leaders continue to inist that they are going to destroy Israel they only do a dis-service to the palestinians
Israelis know this and 70% of them are willing to give up West Bank which will cause a strategic threat to Israel if the Palestinians are ready to make peace.
Can you also say for the palestinian attacks on israeli civilians?
Jews and Muslims never hated each other. Jews helped the Prophet Muhammed in Makkah and fought along side the muslim armies against the Crusaders. Its the current Whabbist Muslims these extremists who have distorted Islam to suit their political agenda against Israel that his has happened.
Then statements like what Iran's president is not helpful are they?
Arent Muslims shooting themselves in the foot when Ahmedinijad's statements are not condemned in the Islamic world?
How does that look to the rest of the world when Ahmedinjad pledges to wipe Israel off the map and no arab or islamic country condemns that statement. It looks like we are complacent. And you wonder why AIPAC is so strong.
And the palestinians also inflcited an immense deal of violence. But remember when Israel declared independence in May 1948, there was no refugee problem no palestinans were displaced. This happened after arabs invaded to destroy Israel and Israel fought back and took over more lands and then the palestinians fled.
First thing you have said which I agree with
Now 2nd thing which I agree with
But that is a long way off. Just go to Pakistani madrassas or Arab schools and see the kind of hate they are teaching towards Jews. You have an entire generation of muslims growing up in these countries who know nothing but hate towards Jews.
I have already read the book. I downloaded the pdf from the Internet. The book pretty much proposes what I have said repeatedly.
