Why not? There wasn't active shooting. They didn't have any reason to keep the canal closed. Thus so long as you did it as a civilian operation (no big pile of troops involved) I see no reason they would have interfered.

There were 80,000 Egyptian troops on the east bank of the canal to guarantee security including armored divisions!!!!!

and

Why? You were the one unwilling to negotiate, you have no idea what they would have agreed to.

Read Rogers intitiative in 1970 (William Rogers was secretary of state in Nixon admin) and Israel refused it.


and
Did Israel ever attack most of the Arab countries? No. The only aggressive actions I can think of are against Iraq (the reactor) and Lebanon (when they got tired of the terrorist bases there.) Why are the Arabs funding the terrorism?


Did you read Lavon Affair? The aggressive actions aginst Iraq was first bombing of Jesish tembles in Iraq to force Iraqi Jews to migrate to Israel ( one of them is Benjamin Bin Aliazar, former defense minister!!!!) what about the Suez crisis?
No body fund them except through international organizations and individually, I personally pay what ever I can for them, it is RESISTANCE, TERRORISM IS Israel.

and

If they didn't care what the world thought they wouldn't keep making up stories about what happened. How about the so-called Jenin massacre?

It is exactly as the Jews making up stories about Auschwitz and the Holocaust!!!!.


and


History will remember them for what they are: Murdering terrorists.

You mean the Jews, they are homless wondering gangs and check the OT if you don�t believe me.


and

They have no idea of the true situation--their schools teach fiction for history.

I think you mean the fiction of the Torah that they brainwash their kids with it.

and

The point is that by denying it you are showing that your knowledge of the world is seriously flawed. Why should we think you are any more accurate about anything else?

Don�t use �we� use �I� and the holocaust became a new religion which no body can doubt or what? You check accuracy according to a Holocaust parameter that I don�t know of? There is something called logic and critical thinking to check accuracy.

and
The point is that what they claim happened is almost certainly a work of fiction. You'll find plenty more of it at the library, why don't you go get upset about some of that. Just because it's a story that blames Israel doesn't make it magically true.

you have the right to deny our fiction and we have the right to deny your fiction.

and

Does any society note enemy deaths with anything like the attention they pay to their own?

If you are the aggressor and according to the humanity parameters you have to pay attention to them.

and

It has nothing to do with Jew vs Palesntinian. It has to do with criminals vs law enforcement.
you mean thieves vs land owners?

and
It's saying they support terrorism
I say they brainwash people

Good night,
Omar

Well, Israel wouldn't have liked that many troops on the border but I don't think it would have interfered with opening the canal.

No body fund them except through international organizations and individually, I personally pay what ever I can for them, it is RESISTANCE, TERRORISM IS Israel.

In other words, you are a terrorist.

If they didn't care what the world thought they wouldn't keep making up stories about what happened. How about the so-called Jenin massacre?

1) You are not replying to the point at all.

2) There is plenty of evidence of the holocaust. Note how the evidence of the "Jenin massacre" faded away, anybody who pays attention to the news doesn't believe it anymore.

History will remember them for what they are: Murdering terrorists.

You mean the Jews, they are homless wondering gangs and check the OT if you don�t believe me.


Pay attention! I was describing the terrorists. Of course you have a hard time picturing yourself as a murderer (This is *NOT* name-calling--your actions amount to conspiracy to commit murder and terrorism under US law) so you don't see it this way.

They have no idea of the true situation--their schools teach fiction for history.

I think you mean the fiction of the Torah that they brainwash their kids with it.


Please pay attention to what you are replying to.

The point is that by denying it you are showing that your knowledge of the world is seriously flawed. Why should we think you are any more accurate about anything else?

If you were denying any other major event of world history I would feel the same way.

you have the right to deny our fiction and we have the right to deny your fiction.

Read that report with a critical eye. It is not internally consistent, therefore it is fiction.

An unfair blow, but not morally unjustifiable.

Default legal rights

What legal right does Israel have for being a nation ?

Doesn't it appear that Israel wants total domination of the once Palestine area? Yes thanks to the British the place is now a hell hole.

And doesn't it appear that Israel wants all Palestinians purged/removed from the soil that they now occupy?

The Civil Rights "movement" in America, the struggles for equality and the rights of first class citizenship for all Americans must be applied to the Palestinians. ...agains the overwhelming odds ...against the violent ravages of the Right Wing Israel govt, IDF,
against the supporters of that insipid, insidious Isreali Govt (the Xian Reich).
And i say the Xian Reich simply because the USA has nothing to gain from supporting Israel. They don't have oil or anything US foreign or Domestic policy needs ... they don't promote stability ...They do a good job of oppressing a people who have a right to be free on this land called Palestine.

There is no way that the Palestinian can carry on the civil disobedience that served the Negro in America... Yet they have the same desire and need for freedom on their own land. Land continually raided by jewish squatters and usurped for their own.

Why are these settlements allowed at all ? What right do they have to make these settelments.

Last When will Israel comply with UN resolution 671?

Spelling is a *LOT* harder for someone learning a language later in life. I'm married to one such--I don't ever expect her to spell anywhere near as well as Shinx does.

After replying earlier I started a poll about the holocaust. It's running 95% that believe it happened. Therefore I think my use of "we" is justified.

Default Now we're talkin

....copied the broken UN Resolutions and E-mailing to my Senators and Congressman ...who happen to be Jewish btw.
thank you PalestinePollita

i believe that Resolution 671 calls for the total nuclear disarmament of all nations in the middle east... which is ...you guessed it Israel... non-complient as usual.

And i say again the terrorist bombing would stop if you gave the Palestinians Equal Armaments and Ordinance.

Keep in mind the French Freedom fighters during WWII in France would have had been considered Terrorists as they fought to unyoke the Nazi's from their neck.

The United Nations partition of 1947; there's lots and lots of good reasons to criticise the practical and legal implications of the partition, but does the United States of America have a stronger legal right of nationhood?

That's the equivalent of asserting that "those New Yorkers in the WTC were murdered by Muslims" or "those Rwandans were butchered by Negroes"; all three smack of racism.

It is not criminal to be Muslim, Black, or Jewish.

The responsibility for the actions of Israel rests with Israel and its patrons; it is wrong to condemn all Jews by mere association. Many Jews and many Americans cheer the actions of the Israeli nation, but many others condemn them. Painting them all with the same broad brush is neither accurate nor decent.

The homelessness of the Palestinians did not begin in 1947 with the partition; its origins are much more complex than that suggested by labeling the whole affair has one of "stolen'" lands:

Quote:
"But did the Palestinian refugee problem begin around Israel's Independence War? No, it started much earlier. Over the last decade, some Israeli historians of the Arab-Israeli conflict have claimed in scholarly writings that there was collusion between the Zionists and the Jordanians to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state in 1948 and the intention to drive out Palestinians.

Whether their assertion has merit or not, collusion did take place between Jewish land buyers and resident Palestinian (not absentee) Arab sellers, all during the Zionist's drive to create a territorial base in Eretz Yisrael. That collusion initiated the displacement of Palestinian peasants from lands they habitually cultivated; Palestinian refugees were created by Israel's struggle for independence, but their landlessness started decades before the 1947 United Nations partition vote to divide Palestine into an Arab and Jewish state.

If anyone has any doubts, go look in the Zionist Archives, read the Palestine Arab press in the 1930s, or check the Palestine Land Department files.

Himi Husayni, a British district officer in the Arab district of Jenin in Palestine, wrote the following to a fellow official in the British administration on August 16, 1930:

"It is believed that everyone of the (name of an Arab notable family member) is going to sell to the Jewish National Fund or any other person whom they will find, but owing to the fact that they [the Arab sellers] are afraid to lose their moral prestige amongst the inhabitants because of such sales, they are borrowing money from the JNF and making secret arrangements in which they agree to sell their mortgaged share by public auction, simply to show the public that they were unable to refund the money borrowed and that they were obliged to accept the sale which was affected through the court. And in the meantime, this process relieves them from the rights of the cultivators which will be claimed should the lands be sold in the ordinary way."

Palestinian Arab newspapers in the 1930s acknowledged the horror of Arab lands sales to Jews and displacement of Arab peasants Al-Jami'a al-'Arabiyyah said in September 1934, "By selling, they [the Arabs] sell the blood and remains of their fathers." The staunchly Palestinian Arab nationalist paper, al-Difa' in November 1934, asked, "Is it human that the covetous should store store capital or evict the peasant from his land and make him homeless or even sometimes a criminal? The frightened Arab who fears for his future today melts from fear when he imagines his offspring as homeless and as criminals who cannot look at the lands of their fathers."

Palestinian Arab peasants were initially made landless and homeless by Arab land sales to Zionists. One of the motivations for the 1939 British White Paper was to halt Jewish land sales, and as British Colonial Office official John Shuckburgh said in 1940, "The Arab [needed] to be protected against himself." The displacement of Palestinian peasants from their lands can be traced back to the 19th century when all over the Levantine area large-landed estates were created and one-time peasant owners fell upon hard economic times and gave up ownership rights to urban notables and landlords.

Palestinians were displaced by the struggle to control Palestine, first among themselves, then between Palestinians and the Zionists, and then between the Israelis and surrounding Arab countries. Forget the debate about why they left: some left of their own accord, some were driven out as noted in the Hebrew edition of Yitzhak Rabin;s memoirs... who is morally responsible for the creation of the Palestinian refugee problem? Was it the British for allowing and controlling the Jewish national home's development? Was it the Zionists for using covert methods in buying land and in immigrating Jews to Palestine, and then asserting their new found power to defeat the Arab armies in 1948-49? Was it the Palestinian landowner who helped the Zionists establish a foothold in Palestine, and the void in Palestinian Arab political leadership and inter-Arab rivalries that helped Israel establish itself? Was the Palestinian Arab himself responsible because he decided it was more important to save his family in time of war than retain property or remain as a tenant on land he or his family once owned outright? The answer is all of the above.

The second part of the contemporary bottom line is: Palestinian refugees must be resettled. Palestinian refugee camps must go; they foster economic squalor and remain breeding grounds for anti-Israeli feeling; economic development must accompany Palestinian refugee resettlement.

Compensation should also be considered for Jews who were forced to leave Arab lands in the same time period. History did not begin in 1948."
quoted from: Kenneth W. Stein, Professor of Middle Eastern History and Political Science at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia; author of Heroic Diplomacy: Sadat. Kissinger, Carter, Begin and the Quest for Arab-Israeli Peace, Routledge, 1999, and The Land Question in Palestine: 1917-1939, North Carolina Press, 1984.
