Looting Aqir by newly arrived persecuted European Jews, 1948Many Westerners and Zionists often ask me:
- Why do Palestinians fight peace-loving Israelis?
- Why all this terrorism against the innocent Jews who suffered centuries of persecution?
We have replied to these questions in detail and more at our famous Zionists Frequently Asked Questions. In that respect, it is worth noting what David Ben-Gurion told Nahum Goldman before he died:
"I don't understand your optimism.," Ben-Gurion declared. "Why should the Arabs make peace? If I was an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. Sure, God promised it to us, but what does that matter to them? Our God is not theirs. We come from Israel, it's true, but two thousand years ago, and what is that to them? There has been anti-Semitism the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that? They may perhaps forget in one or two generations' time, but for the moment there is no chance. So it's simple: we have to stay strong and maintain a powerful army. Our whole policy is there. Otherwise the Arabs will wipes us out".
"But how can you sleep with that prospect in mind," I broke in, "and be Prime Minister of Israel too?"
Who says I sleep? he answered simply. (The Jewish Paradox by Nahum Goldman, p. 99)
I agree with many things Ben-Gurion said in this quote, especially about his sleepless nights; thieves do not sleep well. As usual, thieves are always afraid of retribution, worried, and captivated with fear, which is exactly how the average Israeli feels. On the other hand, Palestinians and Arabs may disappoint him with a couple of things:
- It has been three generations since Nakba, and Palestinians still hold on to their looted homes' keys (inside Israel) more than ever. It has become an honor to inherit that key from one generation to another.
- Ben-Gurion will be amazed at how many Zionist Arab leaders (several of them Palestinian leaders) are ready to sell Palestinian rights so they can retain their positions of power and financial gains.
Any person around the world has the right to defend his home and family when attacked, however, in the West a Palestinian does not have that right despite that his home and farms were stolen by Holocaust survivals. Westerners (especially Europeans) for centuries took turns gang-rapping their Jewish citizens, and because of that, their guilty conscience burned them from the inside out. This guilty conscience (besides the powerful Zionists lobby) is the reason why the West covers up Israeli war crimes and continues to paint Israeli apartheid as "the only democracy in the Middle East." Somebody else has to pay for their crimes against their Jews so long it is not a Westerner who pays the price; this way, they can sleep well at night.
General view of al-Maliha taken after Nakba, and in the foreground, Israelis are looting Palestinian properties
History will tell that not only the West has wronged Palestinians by making them pay for their crimes, but also they have wronged their Jewish citizens twice: Once for the many Holocausts they have committed against their Jews, and the second for locking them into an endless struggle with stubborn Arabs who will not sell their rights for any price.

its just so sad, all these years they are fighting, please help me understand.
HOW CAN THIS END? What do we need to do as Christian?
I would like the Palestinians to know that not all Americans support Israel. In fact, most Americans are never taught anything about this conflict in school. Most of us have no idea why our government supports Israel.
I only hope that one day there can be peace. I wish that the American government would be just to the Palestinians and that the Palestinians would not want to kill all Americans because the average American citizen does not support Israel once we know the truth.
I am American and I support Palestine. I hope those who are on here wishing death to us realize that we are not all bad just as I realize that not all of you are the hateful terrorists the American government would like us to think.
During the US presidential race, Hillary Clinton fell short of calling Barak Obama “Nigger”, a word commonly used by Americans to degrade and offend descendants of Africans
But then, under pressure from American Zionists and whites, Obama was forced to accept Hillary as secretary of state.
Wednesday 22 July the BBC reported that at the regional summit of ministers in Thailand, Hillary boasted arrogantly: “Iran will face severe consequences if it did not abandon its nuclear ambitions
Why Iran is not entitled to build an atomic arsenal like Israel? Is there any reason other than the fact that Iran is an Islamic republic opposed to US/Zionist colonial ambitions In the Middle East? Hopefully the Arab Republics of Syria and Libya will also build nuclear arsenals to protect our world from US/Zionist colonial dreams.
Long live our liberators, Hamas, Hezbollah and all Islamic freedom fighting groups.

world we live in?maybe I should be more synical and see the truth as it is.As for the Israeli`s themselves!!well,P`rhaps
Instant Karma will get them theirs?If not,here`s hoping the Palestinians do.
The Balfour agreements came even earlier and i was told a story that some rabbis, JEWISH rabbis then living in Palestine sent a letter to the british saying something like "Please do not put the Jewish homeland here...put it in America or Austria or anywhere else in the world but here for if you put it here it will bring the prophesied end of the world"....Does anyone know if this is true? This atical recalls me to that stort told me by a friend.
Then its a war still and will always be until we get back what BELONG to us, we belong to that land, and the land belongs to us, and not the ugly killers.
Palestine will always be Palestine, and I see our freedom very soon, wait to see us waiving while entering our homes.
long live Palestine, and long die killers.
The Apartheid gov. of Israel must be banned from the United Nations for failure to comply with U.N. resoloution 241 the right of return for the people of Palestine to be able to return to their property homes and villages. It was a prerequisite of Israels admittance into the U.N. that they comply with the right of return for the palestinians which they, Israel has refused to do so for 60 years!!!!!
This is rather like speakers apparently for Palestinians,on national media complain about the "apartheid wall", and the poverty imposed on Palestinians, while zionists get away with repeated use of key words/phrases, like "suicide bombers". This seems to leave the people that I talk with, (whle dishing out anti zionist leaflets on the streets), with the idea that Palestinians have to put up with terrible, unjust hardships; but it's mostly Israelis being killed. Or untill some new Israeli rampage like bombing the * * * * out of Lebanon. But even then, as the impression is left that its mostly Israelis suffering actual death, the zionist excuse that they "have to do something to defend themselves" remains rooted. And this makes my job on the streets even harder.
God bless your minds & Hands for this subject and article.
I will pas it to the norwigian solidarity organization.
My best regards to all of you . Yours fuad timraz
*It has become an honor to inherit our looted homes'keys .
*Arab leaders are ready to sell Palestinian rights so they can retain their positions of power and financial gains.
*Israelis think that Arabs will not fight if they know they will lose. Arabs are willing to commit to a long term struggle, especially if humiliated and cornered.
*do you believe that:Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon was a mistake?Israel should reinvade Lebanon to prove a point to all Arabs?Israel should cancel the peace treaties signed with Egypt and Jordan?
YOUR STATEMENT: "BEN GURION WILL BE AMAZED HOW MANY ZIONIST ARAB LEADERS ARE READY TO SELL PALESTINIAN RIGHTS..."
THERE ARE NO ZIONIST ARAB LEADERS. THERE ARE CERTAIN INFERIORITY COMPLEXED ARAB LEADERS THAT ARE SELLING PALESTINIAN RIGHTS TO THEIR WESTERN MASTERS FOR PROTECTION AGAINST THEIR OWN PEOPLE. I CAN NOT FIND WORDS TO EXPRESS MY SORROW AND DISGUST AT THE KNOWLEDGE THAT WHILE ISRAELIS BOMBARD AND MASSACRE INNOCENT PALESTINIANS, THEIR FLAG FLIES HIGH IN CERTAIN ARABIC CAPITALS. BUT THE DAYS OF SUCH ARAB LEADERS ARE NUMBERED. THE DAY WILL CERTAINLY COME, WHEN OUR ARMIES LIKE HAMAS, HEZBOLLAH AND OTHERS SHALL LIBERATE PALESTINE AND THE MIDDLE EAST FROM WESTERN/ZIONIST DOMINANCE AND INFLUENCE.

And if you base your argument on the Balfour Declaration and UN resolution to give land to the Jews, only one document followed the European, and North African, Holocaust. How do you explain the land purchased by the settlers of the nineteenth century, or the British Declaration for a Jewish homeland? For it was not because of 'gang rapping' Jews in Europe.
The west established a Jewish Homeland, as it established the Kingdom of Jordan (and why no condemnation of the Hashemite Kingdom, which takes up the entire eastern half of Palsetine?), Syria (which was made a kingdom by the British and French), Lebanon (many thanks to Messrs. Sykes and Picot), and Iraq (why are there no cries for the Kurds, the Assyrians? Why is there such resistance to the independence of the regions of Mesopotamia, which was united by the British under a foreign monarch?).
Palestine deserves nationhood, as does Israel. One exists, the other denies its existence by crying over land no longer theirs. When will Palestinians accept the nationhood bestowed on them, and concentrate on growing that nation into a valid member of the world community?

I always thought that the european (governments) are not good people they were and still are colonizers and now allows the continuous genocide to occur against the brave Palestinian people.It is also clear to see.The american supply with the destructive machinery and arms of mass destruction and are scare to death to talk about.
But I have hope that sometime the wrong will end and Palestinian will live thier life in Palestina,with the few jews that are figthing the zionism of Israel.
As Palestinians forgetting is the least for us to worry One day Zionist Israelis have to feel guilty and sorry
They can Kill and Torture but cant Assassinate our Memory
Another day they will realize that, and have frankly to admit
That Palestinian Young Generation will never forgive nor forget
How can a person without his Heart and Soul stay on earth living?
Palestine is our Heart, and Love; it is our God blessed giving
How can a child forget Scenes of Blood and Screams of Crying?
Scenes of his family members killed in front of his eyes coldly dying
Such Criminal Behavior helped our children painfully remember
Awakened in them memory of your unlimited Massacres in number
Needless to say how we breastfed our children Palestines Love
And this comes first to them and stands before all and high above
The Sacred Love of Our Homeland is naturally with them born
Seeing their families, houses and country by force taken and torn
That Love which you will never be able to understand
Because you don؟t have such feelings but those of a gang and band
Our grand children are well equipped with such memories
And again assure you that Forgetting has no place in our Diaries
Aggressors we ARE NOT and never been, but Victims sure we Are
By Force Took our Land and blindly killing led by a Mass Killer star
The Truth is Crystal Clear to the Whole World here and there
We Wonder Why does the World Back them and of them take care?
We called for PEACE &FAIR JUSTICE but they were always Deaf
Also they were Senseless like a Hard Rock in a Mountain Cliff
Again the Whole World Neglected our Continuous PEACE Call
And Helped The Aggressor Zionists to remain Criminals after all

God bless the woman who gave birth to you.
I 100% agree with you, there are better way, but are we following? NOOOOO, why? because they managed to show some minorities of us as US.
Once again, why done we start organization aimed at showing the world who is the real us? Peacefully we can change the point of views of every decent mind and human heart.
I think none of them is sleeping, and none will be able to sleep ever, and they should never forget who are Palestinians.
My heart hurt when I look at who we are now, and how became *marked* as terrorists because of what the damned Arab leaders done.
Today, I have been complaining to my wife (who is not Palestinian nor Arabic) how I am ashamed of who am I, and honestly I am ashamed of what we are doing, ashamed of the fact that Arabs are 400 millions and the god damned Europeans in my home land are 4-6 millions and they have managed to become a power over us, ashamed of what I see on the news, ashamed of the pig Saudi Arabia king dancing with the American monkey, ashamed of American war ships horsing on Lebanon shores, ashame of nations who are ruled by cheap men.
Ashamed of the fact that UN wants to classify killing 8 people who are OCCUPIERS BY NATIVES as terrorist attack, and classifying killing 120 NATIVES by OCCUPIERS as self defense.
Proud for being Palestinian, because this belonging deserve being proud to be one of.
Long live Palestine and long live every Palestinian hero, and long die Israel and every god damned who think that Israel deserve anything buy being wiped.
Sorry if I used bad language, but I am so so tired.

I have X-Posted your wisdom on my blog and I am USA civilian journalist who has been to OPT five times since June 2005 and I am flaming mad about the way my USA Tax Dollars are spent to support the Apartheid regime of Israel; I do not not want to bring Israel to its knees ONLY to its senses!
And i humbly repent for my government and all the mis-informed and uninformed, apathetic, self-righteous USA 'Christians' who do not have eyes to see, ears to hear or hearts that bleed for what the USA government has allowed.
Please forgive US + keep speaking out!

Why, in the name of History, people have been killed??? For me, arabs and jews have the same branch in generation, they are all equals in faith! Can you destroy our fathers'land? Remembered all the teachings you had receive and you get the answer.Remember: don't destroy our legacy and make peace with each other with the great love. You can do it.
Now we have a 6th century ideology in this new phenomenae Hamas, how do you expect any civilized country to support us when they see those bearded men and veiled women around allying themselves with Hizballah and Iran?. Are those backwards going to give us Palestine?
Let us look for supporters within the civilized world, the 21st century world, not the 6th century one. Those are the countries who can influence politics, not Hamas.
Israel, Zionism and the United States are very powerful allies. Who cares for the Palestinians cause? Saudi Arabia?, Egypt?,with 10 million bribery every year or that pet of Jordan? We must understand that there are very many parallels between Nazism and Zionism. When Hitler classified the nations he put the Arabs one degree before monkeys, this is how Zionism look at us. Unfortunately we did not prove or shown them anything otherwise. Let us wait for Allah to do something for us.
