Evolution Surrenders!

I think it would be a good idea for a little truth in the face of the bullshit blizzard that has hit us from the Mid-east over the past several decades. To those who hate Israel so much:

The Arabs have successfully blurred the true history of what happened when Israel was formed in 1948. Six hundred thousand Jewish refugees from Arab nations fled to Israel -- many in fear for their lives, most after having their property expropriated. They were assimilated by Israel.

About the same number of Arab refugees fled what is now Israel, the West Bank and Gaza. They were not assimilated by the Arab nations, with whom they shared a common religion, ethnicity, history and language, but were instead herded into refugee camps the better to "return" to their homes after Israel was obliterated by Arab armies.(Since the World War II, more than 100,000,000 people have been forced to become refugees. Nearly all were forced to assimilate into nations with different cultures and traditions.) Further, these Arab refugees had no ancient tie to the land of "Palestine." Most were recent immigrants, a fact implicitly acknowledged by the United Nations when it altered the definition of refugee to apply to those who have lived "at least two years" in a location.

When Mark Twain visited the Holy Land in 1867, he found to his dismay that the land was barren. "Stirring scenes ... occur in the valley (Jezreel) no more. There is not a solitary village throughout its whole extent -- not for 30 miles in either direction. There are two or three small clusters of Bedouin tents, but not a single permanent habitation. One may ride 10 miles hereabouts and not see 10 human beings." But when large numbers of Jews began to resettle the land in the 1880s and made it more prosperous, large numbers of Arab migrants began to arrive.

The whole idea of a Palestinian nation and a Palestinian people is an invention of Arab propaganda. Arafat is himself an Egyptian. The only people to have lived continuously on the land "from time immemorial" are Jews. So many others have conquered, ruled, thrived and ultimately perished there that the list would take hundreds of pages. A mere sample would include: Byzantines, Persians, Arabs, Turks, Circassians, Kurds, Abbassids (Iraqis), Egyptians, Kharezmians (Genghis Khan), Mamluks, Mongols, Latins (Crusaders), Ottomans, French and English.

It is not and never was "Palestinian land."

Tell a lie for long enough and fools will slit your throat if you tell them otherwise. To all you Jew haters out there, why don't you read some actual mid-east history before flapping your lid. You might also want to read up on what good old Wahhab and the Ikhwan did to their Mulsim brothers and sisters in Iraq.

A funny thing it is to support genocidal bigots in the hopes of spreading peace.
