Jews have lived in Israel in an unbroken line of descent since Biblical times. The modern state of Israel may have been “granted” by the UN after the Holocaust, but the state was never the UN’s to give. You call yourself a Christian and deny the Jewish right to the land? Fine. Then look at the archeological evidence. Hebron had a strong Jewish community until 1929, when Arabs, spreading a lie that Jews were attacking al-Aqsa, rioted and murdered dozens. The British, ever the assholes, removed not the Arabs who rioted, but the Jews, who did nothing—from Hebron. Today’s narrative: Hebron is “Palestinian,” because there were no Jews there when Israel took it back in 1967.

Funny how you manage to overlook all evidence that proves Jewish ownership of the land (Jews exist today who lived in Hebron; I don’t see you insisting that they be given back their homes and property), yet manage to find anything evidence enough of Palestinian claims. Sort of like the Goldstone Report manages to condemn Israel while insisting that it can’t find any credible evidence that Hamas hid within the civilian population, even though there’s photographic proof of it.

You don’t want an answer to your question. You want to continue in your blind insistence that Jews don’t belong in Israel. But here’s a simple answer: The UN partitioned the British Mandate of Palestine into two states, one for Arabs, one for Jews. The Jews accepted the partition and celebrated. The Arabs refused, and tried to murder all of the Jews. They lost. Israel won. The world is full of the victors of wars keeping the land that they won (or in this case, won back). Why is it that the world allows Russia to keep part of Georgia—which happened only in the last year or so, and yet, Israel is still vilified for the result of the 1948 war? What’s the difference between the two examples?

Gee. Let’s think.

Looks like it has been an interesting day.

Daniel-People have told me on numerous occasions that I am too direct and down right blunt. There are times when sweet coatings on words diminish the impact of what needs to be said. It’s a grab the throat moment and listen carefully. Bitter truths hit hard and stick.

Big Guy Upstairs made a Covenant with the Jews. They are Guardians of that Covenant.
Nothing will change that, no amount of hate, blood spilled or lives lost.
Through time, down the line, Jews kept the word and guarded the faith.

Though some would eradicate any and all history of the original Covenant thinking if they manage to do so, they can slip on in and take the place as the Chosen People. “See See, Big Guy loves us best. We can do anything in his name now.”

I just wonder when Big Guy is going to deliver the first in a series of much needed lessons.

Now, I need to take the catnip away from one of the cats. She’s got the bug-eye happening and a nap is in order.

Have a good evening.

Gathering up wheelbarrows full of rocks is a religious act worthy of respect and tolerance?

No. Really. What kind of perverted death-cult is this?

And who are the deranged, bloodthirsty morons who defend this barbaric bullshit with twisted quotes from modern law and a veneer of reason covering their underlying hatred of Jews?

Ugh.

When I was in kindergarten a girl tried to bite me, so my fear of all girls is legitimate.

In addition, LOVE the comment about “remember this one guy in 1968″…how about remember that one suicide bombing or twenty on a bus that goes throughout all the neighborhoods in Jerusalem.

I agree with your post, it was spot on. I’m tired of pro-Palestinian statements and attitudes that have nothing to do with reality. If you have a problem with how Palestinians live, GO THERE! Volunteer in their communities and help them. Help liberate them from the strangleholds of Hamas! Why doesn’t anyone wonder why Arafat died a billionaire while his people starved???!!!
