The real question is not asked though Ant. And it certainly is never answered.
Why Palestine and who said they had the right to make Israel there?
WE know the biblical stuff is all a bloody sick joke and a myth so why doesn’t anyone ever ask why Palestine?
It was not theirs to take, Israel has no borders except in the imaginations of the hard core zionists and I don’t believe it has the right to be in Palestine.
It should have been set up in Germany as a protectorate of the US and British once they stopped their own slaughter of millions of civilians.
I do not rate myself as a great historian, I do not have the time to be one.
I remember in the past, that places like the Kimberley’s, in Australia and Madagascar were considered/mentioned for a jewish homeland.
The choice of Palestine, as I hear in some significant circles was made so that England had a toe hole into the Arab worlds to ensure the oil control. Seems in those days battle ships were controllers of the sea and trade routes, they ate a lot of oil. Nothing much has changed.
Pretty simple really Marilyn.
It is a pity that the ‘ordinary’ Jew does not realise that they are being manipulated by an ancient old Mongol tribe’s banker descendants and that fundamental Christians, have some ridiculous concept that God requires some sought of mass murder in the Middle East to be brought in his/her name. All friggin nonsense; to contemplate world disaster and misery on writings over 2,000 years old.
So they are ready to have world war three, ‘Armaggedon’ and all that fun stuff, could be a hairy ride for the area.
Rudd: Get out of the Middle East NOW. Someone please tell him.
911 was an inside job to facilitate the PNAC plan to get people to go to war, as General Wesley Clark reported from 2001, “7 countries in 5 years ending with Iran”.
Howard and co: Yous was all suckered!!!???? Now go away, tour the world and collect your salad bowls and outrageous speaking fees.
Israel there?
WE know the biblical stuff is all a bloody sick joke and a myth so why doesn’t anyone ever ask why Palestine? … It should have been set up in Germany as a protectorate of the US and British once they stopped their own slaughter of millions of civilians.
Drums make the loudes noise! The arabs made alliance with Hitler and Germany lost the war. As far as faith goes, the Romans called Jews atheists! The Torah revelation does not call for people to “believe” like this idiot seems to think. No merits accrues in believing in god(s). History testifies of human societies and civilizations possessing orthodox believers… these same societies especially christian and muslim canaanites slaughtered countless populations. The revelation of the Torah centers on how to cause the Creator of the Universe to “believe” in man, that man can be righteous. That’s the entire Torah, everything else only serves as commentaries.
This idiot knows nothing, but like Anthony, birds of a feather, he speaks in broad authorative strokes lacking any particular details to nail down his idiotic declarations. Israel recieved the Torah at Sinai, because the descendants of Avraham planned to conquor and totally uproot the Canaanite civilization. Unlike the Hunns who conquored vast swaths of realistate, the Hunns had not culture to replace the societies that they conquored. The result, that copied the cultures of the conquored states, and over time disappeared from history. To replace an existing culture a conquoring army has to have a replacement culture ie the Torah. The Torah serves unto this day as the Constitution of the Jewish State. A generation does not make a nation. The Oral Torah, meaning the logical rules, all generations can employ to interpret the intent of the Framer to legislate law.
The Zionists based the current state upon socialist principals, and currently the Jewish State has no constitution. But Torah Observant Jewry, out leaders lead Israel through the 2000 year exile of christian domination. We the leaders of Torah seek to re-estblish the Torah as the Constitution of the Jewish State.
This goy knows nothing, speaks empty words and merits total contempt - him and Antony, they’re two peas in a pod.
