Israeli settlers burned the oldest olive trees on earth in their continued attempts to wipe out people who lived there before they did. Seems to me there was a verse in the Bible that said doing that was a bad thing.
The ends justify the means, particularly when the ends and the means are both “killing people.”
“Aside from a question of faith in some immediate restoration of there Jews to their former land, this wholesale system of pensioning paupers upon the country to hold a footing in it, is of most doubtful propriety. Nor is it even true charity. For the knowledge of the, in the aggregate, considerable sums of money that are each year forwarded to Jerusalem by benevolent Jews in Europe, leads to the idle, the improvident, and perhaps dishonest, to rush to the Holy Land, with the view of leading there and easy life at the expense of others. The poor population remain in excess of there funds for their support, and much hardship and misery are the natural result. It is quite certain that the Jews of Jerusalem, as a class, are much the most wretched of any there.”
The above from “Going to Jericho- Sketches of Travel” byJohn Franklin Swift, published in 1874 recounting events encountered in his travels of 1868!!!
He goes on to detail some of the abuses of Arab Palestinians by Europeans, that is “accepted practice”, like beating them if they don’t move out of your way in a narrow street, in front of THEIR business!
He goes on to present a more practical effort from Moses Montefiore, the British “pro to-Zionist” who sought more practical means to inject a Jewish population BACK into Palestine, and create a new nation of Jews. BTW: two Jewish factions existed in Jerusalem, one that spoke only Spanish, and the other that spoke only Russian, Polish or other Eastern European tongues, none spoke Hebrew at the time.
Yes there is a long, deceptively interpreted history of Zionism in Palestine, and Bibi represents the most brutal aspect of that occupation, including such terrorists as ETSEL, who murdered British school children as well as troops. Gaza is his contribution to well earned declaration of “chicken***t”, as policy if not personal participation as he did serve in combat, but as “leader”, none of his actions have been “honorable” in the scope of considered humanity.
“The Arabs anti semites started this about 100 years ago.”1) Dude, the Arabs are Semites.2) The rest of your argument is a big steaming load of cow plop. The Volkswagen company didn’t just support the Nazis, it was founded by the Nazis. That has absolutely nothing to do with what they are as a car company today. Nazi imagery is irrelevant to Palestinian Jews being given a large chunk of Palestinian Arab lands, or the fact that Palestinian Jews set about taking more and more of Palestinian Arab land the moment the Jews declared themselves an independent country.BTW, my people were forced into those Nazi death camps right along side the Jews.
