			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>about one picture being worth a THOUSAND words. s the world just plain stupid? An interesting questionnaire for Palestinian Advocates By Yashiko Sagamori If you are so sure that &#8221; Palestine , the country, goes back through most of recorded history,&#8221; I expect you to be able to answer a few basic questions about that country of Palestine : </p>
<p>1. When was it founded and by whom? <br />2. What were its borders?<br />3. What was its capital? <br />4. What were its major cities?<br />5. What constituted the basis of its economy?<br />6. What was its form of government? <br />7. Can you name at least one Palestinian leader before Arafat? <br />8. Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or now, leaves no room for interpretation? <br />9. What was the language of the country of Palestine ?<br />10. What was the prevalent religion of the country of Palestine ? <br />11. What was the name of its currency? Choose any date in history and tell what was the approximate exchange rate of the Palestinian monetary unit against the US dollar, German mark, GB pound, Japanese yen, or Chinese Yuan on that date. <br />12. And, finally, since there is no such country today, what caused its demise and when did it occur? </p>
<p>You are lamenting the &#8220;low sinking&#8221; of a &#8220;once proud&#8221; nation. Please tell me, when exactly was that &#8220;nation&#8221; proud and what was it so proud of?And here is the least sarcastic question of all: If the people you mistakenly call &#8220;Palestinians&#8221; are anything but generic Arabs collected from all over &#8212; or thrown out of &#8212; the Arab world, if they really have a genuine ethnic identity that gives them right for self-determination, why did they never try to become independent until Arabs suffered their devastating defeat in the Six Day War?I hope you avoid the temptation to trace the modern day &#8220;Palestinians&#8221; to the Biblical Philistines: substituting etymology for history won&#8217;t work here. The truth should be obvious to everyone who wants to know it. </p>
<p>Arab countries have never abandoned the dream of destroying Israel ; they still cherish it today. Having time and again failed to achieve their evil goal with military means, they decided to fight Israel by proxy. For that purpose, they created a terrorist organization, cynically called it &#8220;the Palestinian people&#8221; and installed it in Gaza , Judea, and Samaria . </p>
<p>How else can you explain the refusal by Jordan and Egypt to unconditionally accept back the &#8220;West Bank&#8221; and Gaza , respectively? The fact is, Arabs populating Gaza, Judea, and Samaria have much less claim to nationhood than that Indian tribe that successfully emerged in Connecticut with the purpose of starting a tax-exempt casino: at least that tribe had a constructive goal that motivated them. </p>
<p>The so-called &#8220;Palestinians&#8221; have only one motivation: the destruction of Israel , and in my book that is not sufficient to consider them a nation&#8221; &#8212; or anything else except what they really are: a terrorist organization that will one day be dismantled. In fact, there is only one way to achieve peace in the Middle East. </p>
<p>Arab countries must acknowledge and accept their defeat in their war against Israel and, as the losing side should, pay Israel reparations for the more than 50 years of devastation they have visited on it. The most appropriate form of such reparations would be the removal of their terrorist organization from the land of Israel and accepting Israel &#8216;s ancient sovereignty over Gaza , Judea, and Samaria</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The confrontation in the Gaza Strip is not between Hamas and Israel, but rather between Al Qaeda, Iran and radical Islam, and the free world</strong><br />
<em>Ben Dror Yemini </em></p>
<p>Some of Israel’s most blatant critics have written that for every Israeli killed, about a hundred Palestinians were killed. A half-truth is worse than a lie, but this is not even a half- truth. This is deception. Because months and years of rockets fired at a civilian population are not a matter for bloody arithmetic. It is a nuisance that no country, neither Syria nor Sweden, would tolerate. It is a provocation that requires a tough response. And if we are already going for bloody arithmetic, we should do the overall math. We can suffice with just the accounting in the Arab-Muslim world.</p>
<p>So, since the establishment of the State of Israel, close to 12 million Arabs and Muslims have been butchered, most of them by Arabs and Muslims. Israel’s “contribution,” since its establishment, is 60,000, and that includes all the wars and the two Intifadas. In other words, one half of a percent.</p>
<p>And more importantly, the confrontation is not between Hamas with its rockets and Israel. The confrontation is between Hamas, as one of the entities that compose radical Islam, and the free world. Its declared goal is to establish a world Islamic caliphate as part of an anti Semitic ideology that also calls for the annihilation of the Jews. Explanations will follow. And since political Islam has already annihilated millions without any announcement, we should take it seriously when there is an announcement about annihilation.</p>
<p>Is Hamas part of the global Jihad? Section 7 of the Hamas Covenant explains that it is not a local movement, nor even a national movement. The heading is “The global nature of the Islamic resistance movement.” And later, “Because the Muslims are spread throughout the entire world, the movement is global.” To remove any doubt, Dr. Yunis Al Astal, a member of the Palestinian parliament, one of the senior Hamas officials, who served as dean of the faculty are of Shariyah and chairman of the Islamic Law Department at Islamic University, stated that  &#8220;We Will Conquer Rome, and from There Continue to Conquer the Two Americas and Eastern Europe.&#8221; </p>
<p>Is this a movement that calls for the annihilation of the Jews? That is what is written in a continuation of the same section. “The messenger (Mohammed) said, “The Muslims will fight the Jews and the Muslims will kill them, until the Jew hides behind the stones and the trees, and then the stones and the trees will say, ‘Oh, Muslim, Abd Allah, there is a Jew who is hiding, come and kill him.” And this is in addition to blaming the Jews for all the wars in the world, for world domination, etc.</p>
<p>The problem is not with quotes from the sources. After all, even Judaism has Rabbi Shimon, who said, “The best gentile is a dead one.” But that did not become the foundation of any movements. Let alone that of a govern political. To the contrary. There are innumerable interpretations explaining the circumstances of that statement and its lack of relevance. Not so with Hamas. The old imperative has become a practical instruction. And the Hamas leaders leave no room for doubt.</p>
<p>Sheikh Muhsin Abu Ita stated on the Al Aqsa channel that “The annihilation of the Jews is a wonderful blessing.”  Dr. Ahmed Bahar, acting speaker of the Palestinian parliament stated that “the Jews are cancer, and they and the Americans should be destroyed to the last person.” According to the Palestinian constitution, this man, Bahar, will become the head of the Palestinian Authority if Abu Mazen ceases to function. Dr.  Al Astal made clear that the annihilation order is a matter for our time and not for the future, and that &#8220;we are sure that the Holocaust is still to come upon the Jews&#8221;.<br />
The book by Dr. Matthias Kuntzel, “Jihad and Jew-Hatred,” elaborates on the annihilation ideology of radical Islam, including among Hamas. We have not yet succeeded in imparting this awareness to the world. It is still not too late. </p>
<p><strong>There is no logic in madness</strong></p>
<p>The most symbolic event occurred in Iraq. A Shi’ite suicide bomber carried out his attack during a Sunni demonstration of identification with Hamas. A bit confusing, no? After all, this Shi’ite terrorist was supposed to be serving Iranian interests. Iran, as we know, is the country that aids Hamas. And even the battle cries of the demonstrators contained the common denominator of the Shi’ites and the Sunnis: burning Israeli flags and calling for its extermination. So why commit suicide there, of all places? Who was he working for? What exactly was he trying to achieve? Against whom was he protesting? Don’t look for answers, because we are dealing with madness. And any attempt to find some logic is doomed to failure. </p>
<p><strong>Slaughter for the sake of slaughter</strong></p>
<p>Samuel Huntington &#8211; the prophet of the Clash of Civilizations &#8211; died. He was wrong. There is primarily another war, of political Islam against Muslims. And, in effect, it is not a war. It is one-sided slaughter in which the radicals slaughter others, and the others have no idea of how they might have sinned. Women and children who were butchered in villages in Afghanistan and Algeria by the Taliban or the Islamic Front were not collaborating with the West.</p>
<p>It was slaughter for the sake of slaughter. Just like the hundreds of Indians in Mumbai, among whom were 44 Muslims (far more than the Westerners or Jews) who were massacred by other Muslims. Exactly like hundreds of Muslims who are slaughtered by other Muslims in innumerable suicide attacks in Pakistan,.</p>
<p>But there is a small addition. In the case of Muslims, 95% of the protest from Pakistan through Um el Fahem to Londonistan, is in favor of the radical Muslims. Muslims in favor of those who are massacring them. Like the demonstrators in Iraq. The fact that they came to demonstrate for Hamas and against Israel did not help them. They, too, were worthy of slaughter. We have already said that there is no logic. We would like to reiterate this. </p>
<p><strong>Israel is defeating itself</strong></p>
<p>Lately, when the prevarication mills (the “industry of lies”) began working at full steam on the bitter fate of the refugees in the Gaza Strip, who once again were forced to experience violence, the Cinematheque in Tel Aviv screened the film, The Forgotten Refugees, by director Michael Grynszpan. The film has already been shown in many places around the world, including in the U.S. Congress, but not on any channel in Israel.</p>
<p>The film deals with the Jewish communities in Muslim countries &#8211; a million people at the end of the second world war &#8211; who were forced to leave or expelled with an enormous amount of property expropriated. They became refugees, primarily in Israel.</p>
<p>The Nakba occurred because the Arabs rejected the UN proposal, and because they declared a war of annihilation on Israel. The Nakba of the Jews in Islamic countries, in contrast, occurred without a reason. The Jews of Morocco or Yemen or Iraq or Egypt did not declare any war. But despite that, in some cases, in Iraq and in Libya, dozens of Jews were slaughtered.</p>
<p>There is no &#8220;progressive&#8221; academic who does not inflate the Dir Yassin episode. But the slaughter of Jews by Arabs is never mentioned. Most of them arrived with absolutely nothing. They lived in immigrant camps. But they were not left to fester as an open wound, as refugees, like the Palestinians.</p>
<p>Israel, for reasons that are hard to understand, has never played the card of the Jewish refugees. The story of the forgotten refugees could have been the unequivocal Israeli response to the issue of the Palestinian refugees. After all, the right of the Jewish refugees to reparations is far greater than the right of the Palestinians.</p>
<p>The former suffered and were forced out, despite the fact that they started no war and declared no annihilation. The latter did. So the Jews, and only the Jews, have the right to reparations. Those who didn&#8217;t succeed in executing their plots of annihilation have no right to reparations. There is no historical precedence for an aggressor who turns himself into a victim. Such an absurdity has never existed, nor will it. Even in this matter, Israel has defeated itself in the propaganda battle. And here, too, it is not too late to rectify the error. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few words to all out anti-semitic friends&#8230;<br />
In all the territories of Israel there is not even one Arab that hasn&#8217;t got an Arab homeland therefore they are Arabs. They have invaded/infiltrated/trickled into Israel under encouragement of the Ottoman and British occupiers but they, under these circumstances, have not become the owners. Look at the world map my deluded friends. You will see that that the territory of the Arab states (22) is bigger then the entire continent of Europe, and that the territory of all the Muslem states (56) covers about a third of the Earth. A colossal amount of land, unlimited resources of oil and wealth. So it seems only right that the Jewish people have a tiny country of their own without having to share it with another Muslim nation, don&#8217;t you agree?</p>
<p>Let me tell you a few words about the Palestinian people, <strong>there is no such thing!</strong><br />
The Palestinians are a fiction with only one purpose-to destroy the state of Israel.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s start with the name shall we?<br />
The Romans that conquered Judea called it as part of the conquest &#8220;Provincia Palestina&#8221; &#8211; named for the Philistines who lived in the coastal cities of Israel. The Philistines were redheaded seafarers that came to Israel from EUROPE and disappeared from our territory 1600 years before the birth of Muhammad. </p>
<p>The Arabs from the Persian Gulf have no connection to the Philistines, neither genetic, nor cultural, historical or geographical. They are Arabs and not Philistines. So tell me, if the Romans would have called Judea &#8220;Provincia Germany&#8221; would the Arabs be Germans? </p>
<p>And now for Israel itself,<br />
Choose any Historical record, any Historical map or any Historian accepted by the international academy to show us where Palestine is exactly, when there was a time in Human history when there was a country called Palestine, when there was a time when there was such a nation, the Palestinian nation?</p>
<p>Who are they? Where did they come from? And what is their connection to the land of Israel? </p>
<p>I cannot find a single detail in any place in the world including the Qur’an (in which Israel is called &#8220;The land of Israel, The land of the Israelite people.&#8221;) There is a Roman historical record, a Byzantine, an Ottoman historical record and a British historical record; there is no trace of the Palestinian people or a Palestinian nation. </p>
<p>Let us conclude then, that if any of you find any record of the Palestinian existence (that is not Palestinian propaganda that seems to create its own history to fit its needs), than we have something to begin with.</p>
<p>The Palestinians are a gathering of people from the Muslim world that hate each other almost&#8230;almost as they hate us. </p>
<p>That is practically the only thing that unites the Palestinians &#8211; the hate towards Zionists, that is a very poor basis upon which to erect a nation!</p>
<p>In 1948 the number of Arabs within the borders of Israel was identical to the number of Jews in the Arabic countries. The 20th century was a century of immigration upon the entire planet. All the Jews from the Arab countries immigrated to their homeland &#8211; Israel. </p>
<p>All the Arabs from Israel were supposed to immigrate back to their Arab homelands&#8230;<br />
however they continued to infiltrate Israel in any possible manner you can imagine.</p>
<p>In fact there is already a <strong>Palestinian nation, it is Jordan!</strong>, however the nation that does not exist want 3 Palestines &#8211; Jordan, the Gaza strip and the West Bank and of course the Israeli Arabs who consider themselves Palestinians shall bring to Israel more and more Palestinian &#8220;Brothers&#8221; from all around the world until the Jews shall become a minority in their own country, sorry guys, doesn&#8217;t work for us! </p>
<p>So eventually all the Palestinians will have to turn back and leave to their Arab homelands, that will happen either by goodwill or by the sword of King David! During the years of the Jewish settlements you have adopted the Jewish legacy, that is &#8211; the holiness of Jerusalem and the right to return to Zion. </p>
<p>You have even build a Mosque on the centre of Mount Moria &#8211; The Holiest of Holy places of the Jews (a well known custom of the Muslims) however your Holy city is Mecca, not Jerusalem, and the only right the Palestinians have is to return to their Arab homelands.</p>
<p>In conclusion, I would ask you to refer to a cute little book full of humor called &#8220;<strong>A delightful journey in the Holy-Land</strong>&#8221; written by Samuel Longhorn (more commonly known as Mark Twain). Longhorn traveled in Israel in 1867, he did not see neither Palestinians, nor green pastures, nor Arab villages, nor bustling cities, nothing! He saw and described swamps, sickness, Malaria, unending desert and no civilization what so ever. &#8220;The land of tears&#8221;, that is how he called Israel. Everything that is here, this paradise called Israel is what the Zionists made it, no wonder the Arabs want it, it is the only fully modern country in the Middle-East&#8230;and if any Palestinians will sit now in their house which is connected to electricity and running water and type an enraged counter-post to mine it is because the Zionists made it possible for you to live on a different level than 99% of your brothers in the Arab world and you have expressed your gratitude by shelling us with rockets!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this essay I would like to present the true origin and identity of the Arab people commonly known as “Palestinians”, and the widespread myths surrounding them. This research is intended to be completely neutral and objective, based on historic and archaeological evidences as well as other documents, including Arab sources, and quoting statements by authoritative Islamic personalities.<br />
There are some modern myths -or more exactly, lies- that we can hear everyday through the mass-media as if they were true, of course, hiding the actual truth. For example, whenever the Temple Mount or Jerusalem are mentioned, it is usually remarked that is “the third holy place for Muslims”, but why it is never said that is the FIRST Holy Place for Jews? It sounds like an utterly biased information!<br />
In order to make this essay better comprehensible, it will be presented in two units:<br />
·1) Myths and facts concerning the origin and identity of the so-called Palestinians;<br />
·2) Myths and facts regarding Jerusalem and the Land of Israel.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Palestinians are the newest of all the peoples on the face of the Earth, and began to exist in a single day by a kind of supernatural phenomenon that is unique in the whole history of mankind, as it is witnessed by Walid Shoebat, a former PLO terrorist that acknowledged the lie he was fighting for and the truth he was fighting against:</p>
<p>“Why is it that on June 4th 1967 I was a Jordanian and overnight I became a Palestinian?”<br />
“We did not particularly mind Jordanian rule. The teaching of the destruction of Israel was a definite part of the curriculum, but we considered ourselves Jordanian until the Jews returned to Jerusalem. Then all of the sudden we were Palestinians – they removed the star from the Jordanian flag and all at once we had a Palestinian flag”.<br />
“When I finally realized the lies and myths I was taught, it is my duty as a righteous person to speak out”.</p>
<p>This declaration by a true “Palestinian” should have some significance for a sincerely neutral observer. Indeed, there is no such a thing like a Palestinian people, or a Palestinian culture, or a Palestinian language, or a Palestinian history. There has never been any Palestinian state, neither any Palestinian archaeological find nor coinage. The present-day “Palestinians” are an Arab people, with Arab culture, Arabic language and Arab history. They have their own Arab states from where they came into the Land of Israel about one century ago to contrast the Jewish immigration. That is the historical truth. They were Jordanians (another recent British invention, as there has never been any people known as “Jordanians”), and after the Six-Day War in which Israel utterly defeated the coalition of nine Arab states and took legitimate possession of Judea and Samaria, the Arab dwellers in those regions underwent a kind of anthropological miracle and discovered that they were Palestinians – something they did not know the day before. Of course, these people having a new identity had to build themselves a history, namely, had to steal some others’ history, and the only way that the victims of the theft would not complain is if those victims do no longer exist. Therefore, the Palestinian leaders claimed two contradictory lineages from ancient peoples that inhabited in the Land of Israel: the Canaanites and the Philistines. Let us consider both of them before going on with the Palestinian issue.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Canaanites are historically acknowledged as the first inhabitants of the Land of Israel, before the Hebrews settled there. Indeed, the correct geographic name of the Land of Israel is Canaan, not “Palestine” (a Roman invention, as we will see later). They were composed by different tribes, that may be distinguished in two main groups: the Northern or Coastland Canaanites and the Southern or Mountain Canaanites.<br />
·The Northern Canaanites settled along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea from the southeastern side of the Gulf of Iskenderun to the proximities of the Gulf of Hayfa. Their main cities were Tzur, Tzidon, Gebal (Byblos), Arvad, Ugarit, and are better known in history by their Greek name Phoenicians, but they called themselves “Kana’ana” or “Kinachnu”. They did not found any unified kingdom but were organized in self-ruled cities, and were not a warlike people but rather skilful traders, seafarers and builders. Their language was adopted from their Semitic neighbors, the Arameans, and was closely related to Hebrew (not to Arabic!). Phoenicians and Israelites did not need interpreters to understand each other. They followed the same destiny of ancient Israel and fell under Assyrian rule, then Babylonian, Persian, Macedonian, Seleucian and Roman. Throughout their history the Phoenicians intermarried with different peoples that dwelled in their land, mainly Greeks and Armenians. During the Islamic expansion they were Arabized, yet, never completely assimilated, and their present-day state is Lebanon, erroneously regarded as an “Arab” country, a label that the Lebanese people reject. Unlike the Arab states, Lebanon has a western democratic-style official name, “Lebanese Republic”, without the essential adjective “Arab” that is required in the denominations of every Arab state. The only mention of the term Arabic in the Lebanese constitution refers to the official language of the state, which does not mean that the Lebanese people are Arabs in the same way as the official language of the United States is English but this does not qualify the Americans as British.<br />
The so-called Palestinians are not Lebanese (although some of them came from Syrian-occupied Lebanon), therefore they are not Phoenicians (Northern Canaanites). Actually, in Lebanon they are “refugees” and are not identified with the local people.<br />
·The Southern Canaanites dwelled in the mountain region from the Golan southwards, on both sides of the Yarden and along the Mediterranean coast from the Gulf of Hayfa to Yafo, that is the Biblical Canaan. They were composed by various tribes of different stocks: besides the proper Canaanites (Phoenicians), there were Amorites, Hittites and Hurrian peoples like the Yevusites, Hivvites and Horites, all of them assimilated into the Aramean-Canaanite context. They never constituted an unified, organized state but kept within the tribal alliance system.<br />
When the first Hebrews arrived in Canaan they shared the land but did not intermarry, as it was an interdiction for Avraham’s family to marry the Canaanites. Nevertheless, eleven of the twelve sons of Yakov married Canaanite women (the other son married an Egyptian), and since then, the Tribes of Israel began to mix with the local inhabitants. After the Exodus, when the Israelites conquered the Land, there were some wars between them and the Canaanites throughout the period of the Sofetim (Judges), and were definitively subdued by King David. By that time, most Canaanites were married to Israelites, others voluntarily accepted Torah becoming Israelites, others joined up in the Israelite or Judahite army. Actually, the Canaanites are seldom mentioned during the Kings’ period, usually in reference to their heathen customs introduced among the Israelites, but no longer as a distinguishable people, because they were indeed assimilated into the Israelite nation. When the Assyrians overran the Kingdom of Israel, they did not leave any Canaanite aside, as they had all become Israelites by that time. The same happened when the Babylonians overthrew the Kingdom of Judah.<br />
Therefore, the only people that can trace back a lineage to the ancient Canaanites are the Jews, not the Palestinians, as Canaanites did not exist any longer after the 8th century b.c.e. and they were not annihilated but assimilated into the Jewish people.<br />
Conclusion: the Palestinians cannot claim any descent from the ancient Canaanites – if so, why not to pretend also the Syrian “occupied territories”, namely, Lebanon? Why do they not speak the language of the ancient Canaanites, that was Hebrew? Because they are NOT Canaanites at all!</p>
