L.A. Launches Nation's First Israel Divestment Campaign

[Marc39]

My solution: Cut ALL the funding to EVERYONE, get our home situation in order, THEN go back to the drawing board.

Our home situation is far safer with anti-terrorism intelligence and military assistance provided by Israel.

The Arab Muslim shitholes are the source of that terrorism that threatens America.

Georgie, open a law book, dopey.

There is no Pallie state to be occupied. D'oh!

The binding Palestine Mandate unanimously ratified by the League of Nations established all of the land as the Jewish homeland.

Palestine Mandate, Preambular...
Whereas recognition has thereby been given to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country.

Palestine Mandate, Article 2...
The Mandatory shall be responsible for placing the country under such political, administrative and economic conditions as will secure the establishment of the Jewish national home, as laid down in the preamble, and the development of self-governing institutions...

Palestine Mandate, Article 6...
The Administration of Palestine, while ensuring that the rights and position of other sections of the population are not prejudiced, shall facilitate Jewish immigration under suitable conditions and shall encourage, in co-operation with the Jewish agency referred to in Article 4, close settlement by Jews on the land, including State lands and waste lands not required for public purposes

Georgie gets smacked down, again.

"How long has Palestine been a specifically Arab country?

“Palestine became a predominately Arab and Islamic country by the end of the seventh century.

"Almost immediately thereafter its boundaries and its characteristics — including its name in Arabic, Filastin — became known to the entire Islamic world, as much for its fertility and beauty as for its religious significance...In 1516, Palestine became a province of the Ottoman Empire, but this made it no less fertile, no less Arab or Islamic...Sixty percent of the population was in agriculture; the balance was divided between townspeople and a relatively small nomadic group.

"All these people believed themselves to belong in a land called Palestine, despite their feelings that they were also members of a large Arab nation...Despite the steady arrival in Palestine of Jewish colonists after 1882, it is important to realize that not until the few weeks immediately preceding the establishment of Israel in the spring of 1948 was there ever anything other than a huge Arab majority.

"For example, the Jewish population in 1931 was 174,606 against a total of 1,033,314.” Edward Said, 'The Question of Palestine.”'

Bogus website, Georgie.

Arabs have never even recognized Palestine for most of history. It was merely southern Syria.

Palestine isn't even an Arab word. The Romans renamed the land Palaestina after the destruction of the Second Temple, named after the Philistines who were Aegean, not Arab.

Eminent Middle East historian Bernard Lewis...
For Arabs, the term Palestine was unacceptable...For Muslims it was alien and irrelevant... The main objection for them was that it seemed to assert a separate entity which politically conscious Arabs in Palestine and elsewhere denied. For them there was no such thing as a country called Palestine. The region which the British called Palestine was merely a separated part of a larger whole [Syria]. Palestine was not a country and had no frontiers, only administrative boundaries; it was a group of provincial subdivisions, by no means always the same, within a larger entity. For a long time organized and articulate Arab political opinion was virtually unanimous on this point.

Uneducated Georgie gets smacked down, again.

 

[Marc39]

In 1516, Palestine became a province of the Ottoman Empire,

Georgie, during 400 years of Ottoman control of "Palestine," your so-called Palestinians were never offered statehood nor did Pallies request statehood.

Because, Palestine had no ancestral connection with Arabs, who viewed the land as part of Syria.

In fact, during Ottoman rule, Palestine was governed by Damascus and Arabs in the area were Syrians, not Palestiniains.

Before Israeli statehood in 1948, Jews, not Arabs, called themselves Palestinians.

Arabs began calling themselves Palestinians in the late 1960s. In fact, they stole the Jordanian flag, dropped the star and made it their own flag. LOL.

Pallies are a total hoax.

The Balfour Declaration was non-binding.

It was the entire international community that through the League of Nations unanimously recognized the ancestral connecton between Palestine and the Jewish people and that ratified the *binding* Palestine Mandate establishing Palestine as the Jewish homeland.

What connections does "eminent Middle East historian Bernard Lewis" draw between the US occupation of Iraq and Israel's occupation of Palestine?

"CHOMSKY: The Clash of Civilisations is a concept that was invented actually by Bernard Lewis, a scholar of Islam, who has a bitter hatred for Islam.

"It was picked up by Samuel Huntington, a well known political scientist and he made it famous.

"The conception is supposed to be that the United States and its Western allies are civilised, enlightened and liberal, all sorts of wonderful qualities. And, the Islamic world is developing in the opposite direction, what is sometimes called Islamofacism - backward, regressive, violent, which doesn't understand their elevated ideals and so on and so forth.

"Looking at the facts such as Iraq which is the center of concern, the US Military carried out regular intensive studies of public opinion in Iraq because it is a core part of military occupation to try to understand the opinions of people you are trying to control and dominate. They released the study a few week ago, which was reported in the Washington Post, the main national newspaper, on December 19th 2007.

"The military experts say that they are very encouraged by what they call 'good news from Iraq.' The "good news' is that the Iraqi's have 'shared beliefs.'

"That is supposed to refute the idea that they can't come together and that they are involved in tribal warfare and so on, so it is very encouraging, until you look at what the 'shared beliefs' are.

"To which they say that the United States is responsible for all of the atrocities and disasters that have taken place, since the invasion and, therefore, the United States should get out.

"The aggressors should leave.

"That is the Iraqi position."

Picking a bitter racist for your source sounds a little bogus, Poseur.

There is a Pallie occupation of Palestine, Georgie. Hopefully, the riffraff will be deported, soon.

Never, actually. Arab major immigrants from the hood and their descendants had to be a nation in the first place, like having a national purpose and memory. Very simple.

Never, Georgie. Arabs have never recognized Palestine throughout history, other than it being part of Syria.

Palestine is based on the Roman term Palaestina, which the Romans renamed the territory after the destruction of the Second Temple, named after the Philistines, who were Aegean, not Arab.

Except, Muslim Brotherhood, the progenitor of Arab Muslim terrorism, was formed in 1928, 20 years before Israel even existed, Georgie.

Palestine is sovereign Israeli territory, Georgie. Pallies are merely rag heads who migrated from Arabia.
