The lights on his top floor never were very bright. I'll never know what makes anyone think his opinions are valued today.

Thanks Frdmuggs,

As for you Susan - congrats for joining a lot of Nazis or Hamas supporters of killing women and children like Karlimhof. At least you're honest about mentioning that Native Americans too, committed atrocities - your friends here claim that it is all the Jooz.

Arafat had opportunity after opportunity to make things better for his people. But no sireeee, he incited them while lying to his pals Carter and Cliton about wishing for peace, he goaded them to murder even as Israelis were ceded land - THEIR LAND, BY THE WAY, Susan - to the Palestinians. He never bettered their lives - and neither have his successors. Even now Israelis want to help starving Paly children, but it is the policies of hate that have prevented this from happening - hate from the Islamonazis of Fatah and Hamas.

For a Klan acolyte and coward like Jimmee Carter to speak of Apartheid is like Phil Sheridan crying for a Nez Perce homeland. It's pathetic, and full of lies - which is what Carter is. The moron who urged Carter to kick a - well, he's as pathetic and cowardly as Carter is. And also as anti-American. Bottom line.

B'TSELEM - The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories



Since East Jerusalem was annexed in 1967, the government of Israel%u2019s primary goal in Jerusalem has been to create a demographic and geographic situation that will thwart any future attempt to challenge Israeli sovereignty over the city. To achieve this goal, the government has been taking actions to increase the number of Jews, and reduce the number of Palestinians, living in the city.

The restrictions on movement that Israel has imposed on the Palestinian population in the Occupied Territories over the past five years are unprecedented in the history of the Israeli occupation in their scope, time, and severity of damage they cause to the three and a half million Palestinians. In the past, Israel imposed a comprehensive closure on the Occupied Territories or a curfew on a specific town or village to restrict Palestinian freedom of movement; however, it never imposed sweeping and prolonged restrictions comparable to those currently in practice.

Israel has dissected the West Bank into a number of sections and makes it hard for Palestinians to move from one to the other. Israel has set up dozens of checkpoints, prohibits Palestinians from traveling on dozens of roads, and forbids Palestinians without special permits to enter the Jordan Valley and East Jerusalem, which are integral parts of the West Bank . Also, Israel forbids almost completely movement of Palestinians between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and impedes Palestinians from entering Israel and from going abroad.

Over the past three decades of occupation, Israel
has employed in the West Bank a policy of planning, development, and building that severely restricts construction by Palestinians, while allocating broad expanses of land to establish and expand Jewish settlements. In this way, Israel has created a situation in which thousands of Palestinians are unable to obtain permits to build on their land, and are compelled to build without a permit because they have no other way to provide shelter for their families.

Since the beginning of the al-Aqsa intifada, Israel has employed a policy of house demolition, uprooting of orchards, and destruction of farmland in the Gaza Strip.
This policy is part of Israel's defense strategy in the Gaza Strip. The Chief of Staff had good reason to say that, %u201CThe D-9 [a bulldozer] is a strategic weapon here.%u201D As a safeguard against Palestinian attacks, Israel is creating %u201Csecurity strips%u201D around places where Israeli civilians or armed forces are located.

The houses are usually demolished at night, without giving the residents any warning. In certain cases, where there were exchanges of gunfire between Palestinians and Israeli forces, some residents left their homes and moved to safer dwellings. However, in most instances, some members of the family remained in their house to protect their property. Their personal possessions were buried under the ruins.

Israel calls this policy "clearing," a name that conceals the destructive and long-term consequences for the Palestinian residents in the Gaza Strip. Thousands of people have been made homeless and thousands have lost their sole source of income for many years to come. Israel caused this damage to people although it did not contend that they themselves were involved in attacks, or attempted attacks, against Israeli civilians or security forces.

The construction of the barrier has brought new restrictions on movement for Palestinians living near the Barrier's route, in addition to the widespread restrictions that have been in place since the outbreak of the current intifada. Thousands of Palestinians have difficulty going to their fields and marketing their produce in other areas of the West Bank . Farming is a primary source of income in the Palestinian communities situated along the Barrier's route, an area that constitutes one of the most fertile areas in the West Bank . The harm to the farming sector is liable to have drastic economic effects on the residents - whose economic situation is already very difficult - and drive many families into poverty.

Injured man on his way to hospital dies after being delayed at the Barrier
The village of 'Azzum 'Atmah is cut off from the rest of the West Bank by the Separation Barrier. At night, the only gate in the Barrier is closed and Israeli soldiers retreat to a guard tower. Following B'Tselem's exposure of the incident, the army announced that this gate will now be staffed during the night.

Israeli soldiers use two Palestinian minors as human shields
During the army's operation in late February, soldiers ordered two children, a fifteen-year-old boy and a eleven-year-old girl, to walk in front of them as they searched houses in the old city of Nablus.

Benny Morris defends Zionist principle of steling Palestinian land:

The desire to establish a Jewish state here is legitimate, there was no other choice. It was impossible to leave a large fifth column in the country. [...] Even the great American democracy could not have been created without the annihilation of the Indians. There are cases in which the overall, final good justifies harsh and cruel acts that are committed in the course of history.


WHEN BOMBS START GOING OFF IN AMERICAN AGAIN, REMEMBER, IT'S BECAUSE WE CONDONED THIS "FINAL GOOD" - AND ALLOWED ISRAEL TO DESTROY THE PALESTINIANS

[karlimhof]

Benny Morris cont. :

At the same time, Morris says he documented atrocities on the part of Israelis, including suspected cases of rape, torture, and ethnic cleansing.

The book shows a map of empty Palestinian villages, and explains why the villagers left; 228 villages were evacuated due to attack from Jewish forces. In 41 villages, he writes that the inhabitants were expelled by military forces; in another 90 villages, that the inhabitants panicked because of attacks on other villages, and fled. In six villages, he writes, the inhabitants left under instructions from local Palestinian authorities. He was unable to find out why another 46 villages were abandoned.

STOLEN LAND - ISRAEL GIVE IT BACK NOW !

[karlimhof]

Benny Morris, Israeli historian: on his book "the Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem"

[karlimhof]

Benny Morris, Israeli historian:

He denounced alleged atrocities committed against Palestinians but supported the policy of expelling them:

There is no justification for acts of rape [...] or acts of massacre. Those are war crimes. But in certain conditions, expulsion is not a war crime. I don't think that the expulsions of 1948 were war crimes. You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs.

There are circumstances in history that justify ethnic cleansing. I know that this term is completely negative in the discourse of the 21st century, but when the choice is between ethnic cleansing and genocide%u2014the annihilation of your people%u2014I prefer ethnic cleansing.

That was the situation. That is what Zionism faced. A Jewish state would not have come into being without the uprooting of 700,000 Palestinians. Therefore it was necessary to uproot them. There was no choice but to expel that population. It was necessary to cleanse the hinterland and cleanse the border areas and cleanse the main roads.

Need we say more .....

[karlimhof]

The oppression and persecution that Palestinians have endured in these lands comes at the hand of only a "minority of Israelis who desire to confiscate and colonize Arab land," Carter said


Former Preident Jimmy Carter speaks the Truth. He's the only one to have really brokered an Arab-Israeli peace agreement.

If a man with such stature says Israel is illegally occupying Palestinian land - I, and millions of other Americans believe him.

It is time to order - order - Israel to respect the UN resolutions instructing her to return to her 1967 borders.

America can begin to heal the principle reason for Middle East instability by making sure Palestine receives justice after generations have suffered.

Prove it was the Palestinian's land, Hitlerite. You cannot, and you know it.

One thing is *** sure, it (the land of Palestine) doesn't belong to Israel.

In 1948 the Israeli launched their first atttempt to kill and drive out the indigenous Palestinians - without success - although they created the biggest exodus ever seen in the region and created refugee camps and exiles throughout the Middle East.

Not being satisfied with that, the Israelis then decided to take illegally more land in 1967 and are still occupying it today.

The Israeli must accept international law and return to her borders of 1967, abandon the numerous settlements built on stolen land, pay reparations (not the US), and allow for the return of all displaced refugees.

AMEN! For some people of either or any side only a wall will do. And sometimes they need the lesson of how wrong a wall is. Here is the US we're attempting to make the same mistake on our southern border. That is of course despite the fact that the only way we could afford to actually build it would be to use an illegal alien workforce. ;-)

Still just like the Iron Curtain was for the communists, we'll find out the this (what I call) Cactus Curtain we're planning on building will be no more effective and no more effective then the wall Israel is building.

Walls don't keep people out or apart. They just present a bit of a challenge for people who by nature want to get together, if they could just get past their governments and a few bigots on all sides. Most people like each other and want to get along, even if thier governments and a few as*sholes don't want them to.

[grazinggoat]

Let the wall be erected. It%u2019ll be the separator between the Good and the Bad. Once a federation of the Arabs takes shape and the West Bank integrated into the newborn federation, the instigators of this shameful wall shall be isolated setting it up as the worst open air prison in the world. Let the wall be erected. The Zionists will then be complaining and wailing to the world. Let the wall be erected.
