   How international can international Qods day be if not even CAIR mentions it, or any large US-based Sunni organizations make note of it.

   How international can international Qods day be if not even CAIR mentions it, or any large US-based Sunni organizations make note of it.
   And why US-based Sunni organizations should, according to you, be important? They are less important than organisations in the ME or, say, in Indonesia. If we are talking about “internationality” of “Qods day” you should mention both Shia and Sunni organisations, or at least some organisations in the ME and in Europe or in India.
   That’s what internationality means.
   What CAIR does or does not is not very important, overall.

   What the above picture makes me wonder, is what happened a minute before, and a minute after. It’s a good propaganda pic, but it’s a split second. A split second can be meaningless.

   The above picture is the result of a suicide bombing. It targeted and sought civilians, and used a human being as an expendable weapon, as well as twisted religion out of shape to justify it. The man standing in front of the bus is, if I am not mistaken, of a religious volunteer group whose specialty is the collection of bodies and body-pieces for burial, to the last piece of skin and stain of blood, with forensic-team proffessionalism, in addition to the first-aid training.

   I personally pray that we won’t ever need their skills again.

   Khameini, Rafsan, Ahmadinejzad et al. should be blown up to allah in an airstrike. I doubt they can project any real power outside of tricking dumb arabs to blow themselves up for jihad using al-manar propaganda.

   Jerusalem is not mentioned in the Koran. The only reason it has become ‘holy’ to the Muslims is because we Jews have returned to Eretz Yisrael and to our holy city Yerushalayim. For centuries the city was neglected; and under Jordanian rule the area in the front of the Kotel (Western Wall) was a dirty mess.

   MiM, it is fact. During Ottoman rule, Muslim pilgrimates to Jerusalem were basically non-existent. Hajj Amin il-Husayni redecorated the Golden Dome during British rule, after centuries of neglect.

   The importance of Jerusalem to Islam was built on political reasons during the Crusader wars, and was recovered today by pan-Arabic nationalist manipulation of Islam for political purposes, in their quest for an “Arab Middle-East”.

Churchill and the Jews: A Lifelong Friendship Amazon Price: $19.80 Beyond Chutzpah: On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History Amazon Price: $15.30 this is an attempt at honest analysis of this issue. however,the various author are so angry at each other that often are more attent at respond to each other and the objectivity suffers. this does not mean to imply that this particular book is misleading. it tries very hard to be impartial and it almost often succeeds Welcome to Palestine - Land, People, News, Business, History and … A general site about Palestine, covering its history, culture, geography, business, tourism and news. Palestine Independent Media Center Founded to record and explore the current practices of the Israeli occupation. A History of Israel: From the Rise of Zionism to Our Time Amazon Price: $26.37 It is very difficult to accurately and comprehensively analyse this work. The fact is that Sachar go’s out of his way to be even-handed, which leads to a dilemma in itself. The truth is that one cannot be objective in a conflict where it is clear to any fair-minded and honest observer who the agressors are and always have been: The Jews peacefully returned to their ancient land, and for nearly a century the Arabs have been trying to drive them into the sea. There are times when I am uncomfortable with the author’s particularly unfair treatment of the Jewish freedom fighters- the Irgun and Lechi- whom he labels as ‘terrorists’. At the same time, he honestly appraises the history of the situation as he see’s it, and does not like the malevolent ‘new historians’ and revisionists, like Chomsky, Finkelstein, Said, Lenni Brenner and Israel Shahak, go back and rewrite history to suit their own destructive and malicious agenda against Israel. This is an honest appraisal, in which the author strives to be fair. Though his commentary is not always to my liking, he sticks to the facts, except in cases like the so-called massacre of Deir Yassin, where he has accepted the ‘official’ version’ of events, despite clear evidence that there had been no deliberate killing of Arab civillians by the Jews. The author begins by outlining the beginnings of the Zionist movement, the work of pioneers such as Moshe Hess, Leo Pinsker, Moses Montefiore, Achad Ha’am, Theodore Herzl, Chaim Weizmann and Vladimir Jabotinsky. He describes their strugles to adapt to harsh terrain, in the land which had flourished two thousand years before, when their ancestors lived there. He describes how sucessive waves of Jews returning to the Land of Israel, struggled to adapt, often, to the homeland that was being restored. He writes of the purchase by the Jews from Arab absentee landlords. The book describes the revival of the Hebrew language, thanks to the efforts of Eliezer Ben Yehuda, and of the the long tradition of discrimination and dhimmni status of the Jews, in the Holy Land, and Arab countries under Islamic domination. We learn of the origins of Communist hostility to Zionism and the Israeli people, of the originally warm attitude to Zionism by forward thinking Arab leaders such as King Feisal of Syria, and the bloody pogroms by Arabs on Jewish communities in the Land of Israel in 1920, 1921, 1929 and 1936-1939. The truth is that a very large part of the Arab hostility to Zionism, and the returning Jews originated in the fear among the Arab aristocracy in the Holy Land, and elsewhere in neighbouring lands, that the egalitarian spirit of the Jews, the democracy and emphasis, on social justice and democracy would influence the Arab masses, and therefore threaten the powerbases of the Arab elites. We read of Hitler’s ally and Jew-hater Mufti Haj Amin el Husseini, one of the original founders of Islamic jihad against the Jewish people, and his impassioned preaching of venom and genocide against the Jews. Much of the Arab hostility and agression towards the Jews of the then named ‘Palestine’ was encouraged by intense propaganda directed at the Arabs by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, this at a time when hundreds of thousands of Jewish refugees where fleeing from Nazi Germany to the Holy Land. The book also highlights the Balfour Declaration and how the British later reneged, under Arab pressure, on the promises to the Jewish people of restoration to their ancient land. Many of the British actively assited the Arabs against the Jews, and the British blocked the netry of hundreds of thousands of Jews, attempting to enter ‘Palestine’ as an escape from Hitler’s infernos. The book discusses the persecution of Jews in Iraq, Syria, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Yemen and Egypt, and their mass expulsion from these countries after they fled from the Arab states, with nothing more than the clothes on their backs from the countries they had lived in for centuries. The book describes the miraculous survival of the Jews of Israel, during the Second World War, and their victories against overwhelming odds in the War of Independence, the Six Day War and the Yom Kippur War. The book describes how before the Six Day War, the Arabs had surrounded Israel ,and openly issued hideous threats of genocide against all the Jews of Israel, forcing Israel to fire the first shots in order to survive(after Nasser had closed the Straights of Tiran) , and of the decades of infiltrations into Israel of marauding Arab terror bands killing Israeli men, women and children, including the massacres of Jewish children at Kiryat Shmona and Ma’alot, by the terrorists of the ‘Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine’. And we also read of the cowardly attack by Arab states on Israel, that started the Yom Kippur War, and the unpreparedness of Israel’s leadership that was scared to strike first for fear of upsetting world opinion. This was a tragic mistake that imperilled the Israeli nation, and led to many unnecesary deaths of Israelis. The book also describes the other triumphs of Israel: the absorbtion of millions of Jews, the struggles of the Oriental Jews (Jews from North Africa and the Middle East)for equality, the admirable building up of Israel’s welfare state, and the capture and trial of Adolf Eichmann in the early 1960’s. He also reflect on the conflicts within Israeli society and, contrary to the allegations by an earlier reviewer, focuses much on the issues of Israeli Arabs. The trial of Eichmann brought home the horrors of the holocaust, and the lessons derived by the holocaust, by emphasizing the dangers inherent towards a Jewish minority living among a non-Jewish majority, and the need for an ingathering of Jews from all parts of the world in a homeland of their own. During a break in the court sessions of Israel’s thirteenth Independence day, David Ben-Gurion referred to the Eichmnn trial in a speech: “Here for the first time in Jewish history, historical justice is being done by the sovereign Jewish people. For many generations it was we who suffered, who were tortured, who were killed-and were judged…for the first time, Israel is judging the killers of the Jewish people…and let us bear in mind that only the independence of Israel could create the necesary conditions for the historic act of justice”. Never again can catastrophy allowed to overtake the Jewish people, and the Jewish people subjected to genocide, especially not in their own homeland. In a hostile world, much of which wants Israel destroyed, Israel must and will survive…with the help of the Allmighty. Long live the State of Israel!

Get a huge box of tissues for this gut-wrenching story of the daily brutal, humiliating and savage treatment against the women and children of Palestine. I started reading about the fate of the Palestinians with Carters book “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid. Carter’s book is a great and objective overview of the Palestinians Holocaust. Bush, Rice and Cheney will be rightfully humiliated in History books and in posterity for turning their backs and ‘allowing’ these atrocities to go on and on and on…. Right now as you read this review, The Palestinian Holocaust is in full terror. I’m ‘not’ giving up on the idea, that America will soon be “Good ‘ole America again.” Read this book. Palestine Peace Not Apartheid Amazon Price: $10.20 You can tell President Carter has a true passion for world peace and a desire to truly understand what drives people, both individually, and as a people to become who they are and do the things they do. What drives the human psyche and soul is affected by things, events, people, time, and place in history, and things beyond what we can imagine. No one can truly judge someone else without prejudice without at least attempting to walk a mile in his subjects shoes; and yet he is humble enough to know that even in doing so he has still only walked a mile in someone else’s shoes. He has still not lived someone else’s life or struggled that person’s plight whatever it may be consist of. He takes responsibility for his opinions and explains his points of view and what got him to those conclusions. We are all entitled to form our own. I like that his reflect deep thinking and prayer. Hittite Warrior (Living History Library) Amazon Price: $11.16 “Hittite Warrior” tells the tale of a young noble Hittite, Uriah, who is orphaned when his land is overrun by the mysterious and savage Sea People. Escaping to the south, Uriah comes to live with a family in Tyre, then under the domination of Egypt–the perennial enemies of the Hittites. Though he scorns writing and ciphering of the Tyrian traders at first, Uriah quickly learns to appreciate their skills. However, the gruesome, child-devouring cult of Moloch is alive and well in Tyre and eventually, Uriah and his Hebrew companion Jotham run afoul of the priests and are forced to flee to the wilderness, having saved young Jabin who was meant for the sacrifice. There they become entangled in the battle between Sisera of Harosheth and the Hebrews under Barak and the prophetess Deborah. How Uriah comes through this battle and which side finally claims his loyalty is the key conflict of “Hittite Warrior.” This is exactly the kind of book I would have enjoyed reading as a kid. Heck, even as an adult, I had a great time with it. I found the characters to be complex and well fleshed-out. The plot was interesting and kept you guessing. I especially liked the first person narrative style–something that’s not often seen these days. I thought it brought an intimacy to the character of Uriah and helped display his cultural quirks. The author clearly did a tremendous amount of research and I appreciated how she tied all the ancient stories, myths, and archaeological detail together with the record from the Scriptures. Some other reviewers have complained about the writing style. While the prose is occasionally awkward, it is certainly no more so than that of the Harry Potter series and it did not dampen my enthusiasm for this book, nor stunt my reading speed in any way. Simply put, this is a great book for kids 10 and up–my own will be reading it when they’re old enough. Untitled Page The City of Palestine, Texas has a new website. Click here for the new website.
