What a bunch of moronic propaganda. Why should Israel give any of the territory they conquered back? They were attacked without provocation
remember? I love the way the world just insanely hates Israel and will blame them for anything, that is until the rise of George Bush. Perhaps only
this one man gets more blame than the Jews.
At any rate I hope Israel greatly expands their settlements on the West bank and deports the palestinian immigrants. Many of them came after Israel
created an economic miracle in the once desolate desert. Israels reward for providing jobs or for giving up land to the pal.s was to receive a
missile barrage or suicide bombing of their children. I think deportation of the pal.s is the humane way to end the conflict.
Other than that I have no opinion.
You say that video is propaganda, well all this junk you are saying is also a buttload of propaganda. Take for instance your "attacked Israel"
spiel...if it was a pre-emptive attack then how can you say THEY attacked Israel? Pre-emptive means they attacked thinking they were going to be
attacked. I guess it was just coincidental that areas were taken that supplied much needed water supplies too? Pffft.
As far as your imagination that Palestinian people immigrated to Palestine well that too is a bunch of bunk as well, and the Desert is STILL A DESERT
and it will not change much. If you are attempting to use Mark Twains quote for Palestines desolation you should read his entire quote and see that he
said the same things about Greece, Syria and Lebanon as well, and he was comparing them all to American farmlands which is pretty much not a very good
comparison. Aside from the fact that Mr. Twain was an author not a specialist on farmland.
Ahad Ha'Am a jewish essayist in 1891
"We abroad are used to believe the Eretz Yisrael is now almost totally desolate, a desert that is not sowed ..... But in truth that is not the case.
Throughout the country it is difficult to find fields that are not sowed. Only sand dunes and stony mountains .... are not cultivated."
Mark Twain also made the following quotes in regards to Syria and Greece
"From Athens all through the islands of the Grecian Archipelago, we saw little but forbidden sea-walls and barren hills, sometimes surmounted by
three or four graceful columns of some ancient temples, lonely and deserted---a fitting symbol of desolation that has come upon all Greece in these
latter ages. We saw no plowed fields, very few villages, no trees or grass or vegetation of any kind, scarcely, and hardly ever an isolated house.
Greece is a bleak, unsmiling desert, without agriculture, manufactures, or commerce, apparently." (The Innocents Abroad, p. 203)
"Damascus is beautiful from the mountain. It is beautiful even to foreigners accustomed to luxuriant vegetation, and I can easily understand how
unspeakably beautiful it must be to eyes that are only used to the God-forsaken barrenness and desolation of Syria. I should think a Syrian would go
wild with ecstasy when such a picture bursts upon him for the first time."
You suggesting the deportation of the Palestinian people is known as ethnic cleansing. I hope for as long as there are people like you around that the
Palestinians continue their fight for independence.
