Sir Horace Rumbold, who took up the questioning, asked Churchill whether there was not ‘harsh injustice’ to the Arabs if Palestine attracted too many Jews from outside? Churchill replied that even when the Jewish National Home became ‘all Palestine’ there was no injustice. ‘Why is there harsh injustice done,’ Churchill asked his questioner, ‘if people come in and make a livelihood for more and make the desert into palm groves and orange groves? Why is it injustice because there is more work and wealth for everybody? There is no injustice. The injustice is when those who live in the country leave it to be desert for thousands of years.’
With those who shall henceforth be known as Fakestinians clamoring to get "their land back", we would do well to recall the above quote. We should also recall that before lots and lots of Jews began moving in to what was then Palestine, much to the chagrin of the Arabs and the British, Palestine was very sparsely populated. There were Jews, Christians, and Muslims even though this was a backwater of the Ottoman Empire.
In order to be classified as a refugee after the founding of Israel, an Arab only had to prove that they'd lived in Palestine for two years. But, beginning in the late 19th century, after Jews began immigrating en masse, started improving the land and beginning to make the desert bloom so that it would support a greater population, lots of Arabs began moving in to take advantage of the Jews' work and to begin claiming a 3000 year lineage. No archeological, historical, or scholarly evidence? Well, then, it's obvious that the evidence is racist and islamophobic.
Now, of course, the Fakestinians want all of Israel so they can return it to its natural state of barren desert punctuated by malarial swamps. Some of them no longer even bother to pretend that they belong to a religion of peace. Of course, if Islam is truly a religion of peace, how does Islamic terrorism come about? I mean, how do the isolated individuals who make up the "tiny minority" of terrorists pervert "peace" into murder, terrorism, and "kill the Jews?"
But anyway, for anyone who still asks, no, they don't deserve a state. Past and current actions exclude them from having one. They've been sucking at the U.N. teat for the past four generations while they create hatred, worship death, and demand more, and more, and more. Watch the following video and then tell me that this rot doesn't permeate their entire vile, wretched, pathological society.
I've been following the news reports coming out of Israel as the-pawns-who-call-themselves-Palestinians try to force their way into Israel from Lebanon and Syria. Are they kidding? When will this idiocy end?
Yeah, I know the answer to that last question. As long as there is a Jewish Israel, the surrounding Islamic nations will be bent on its destruction by any means necessary. I also know that their job is made easier by the increasing number of useful idiots, heirs of Western Civilization, who have no idea how good they have it because they were lucky enough to be born into the greatest civilization (even with its many flaws) the world has ever known.
Tomorrow Israel will be condemned, and the few Syrian rioters who demanded death from the IDF will be be all over the news while the hundreds of Syrian protestors who were murdered by Syrian forces will be forgotten or marginalized. Coptic Christians who are being murdered by Egyptian Muslims - uh - I mean pro-democracy will be promptly forgotten. Or the world press will play the moral equivalency game, because you know, some of the Copts were protesting against being murdered. And that's probably Islamophobic.
I have to ask: have we become so weak, has our belief in ourselves become so exhausted that we're willing to put up with a primitive culture of death that in thirteen centuries of existence has given nothing of value to humanity, and bow to its will? Have we allowed ourselves to become so soft and debased that we not only refuse to name the enemy but invite the enemy into our midst and then let them force their rules on us?
Tacitus, in his Histories, (but I forget where) states that men must always be at war to avoid becoming weak. The only thing Islam has given the rest of the world is war, terrorism, and slavery. But they are in constant warfare. Islam's bloody borders, like it or not, is a fact of life. They murder us. They murder each other. But they believe that they have that right. They execute Muslims who open their eyes, see Islam for what it is, and try to leave, or even suggest that it's time for reform in Islam. We, on the other hand, not only tolerate quislings, traitors, and vandals, some of the truly stupid among us afford them respect. I want to know how these twisted Western apologists for evil think they would do if they actually had to live in an Islamic society.
Israel has its share of useful idiots, but today they defended their borders. They will be condemned by the rest of the world, but as always, the world is wrong. Israel is right.
On Wikipedia, I discovered that "Palestinians" celebrate today as Nakba Day. Here they are, giving of themselves again. Besides offering gifts to the world like terrorism, homicide bombing, new permutations of Jew-hatred, and contributing to the general moral rot of civilization, these people who call themselves Palestinian now embrace a new holiday - so happy Nakba Day.
Let us join with the most thoroughly debased society on the planet as they once again demand recognition of their unique condition. That unique condition is multiple generations of dependency on the misguided charity of the West. The charity, of course, has given the Gazan and West Bank Arabs an entitlement mentality that causes them to demand huge infusions of cash and materials in order to avoid that humanitarian crisis that is continuously looming directly overhead and will come crashing down if we in the West don't keep the coffers of the P.A. and Hamas full. By now we know that their definition of a humanitarian crisis is a shortage of weapons with which to attack innocent Israelis.
That is certainly a Nakba . . . for the West.
After all, we are stupidly subsidizing the Middle East terror machine. And we know we are. There's no such thing as a free jihad.
It is a Nakba that our leaders are so blind and delusional that they keep throwing money at murderers thinking that will get them to stop murdering. It's a Nakba that we allow our good intentions to be held hostage. It's a Nakba that our compassion keeps us in denial of reality so that we too contribute to the moral rot.
Besides the Nakba of maintaining generations of Muslims in festering genocidal rage, there are the Nakbas that don't get the attention they deserve. This is due to the insanely detailed and cruelly biased reporting on Israel.
China has occupied Tibet since the 1950s. Why, besides bumper stickers, has there been so little concern? How many thousands or millions of Tibetens have been ethnically cleansed? Why are the brave reporters who speak truth to power not concerned with Tibet?
We've got a better idea of the body count in the current Darfur genocide. The U.N. and various NGOs are keeping better track of this Nakba than they did during the Sudanese anti-Christian genocide of the 1990s. Don't worry if you've forgotten that. The whole sick chapter of Sudanese history only got about as much coverage as the Muslim-inspired propaganda that caused an anti-Israel uproar when Israel tried to do some repair work to the Temple Mount.
And then there's Zimbabwe. How many are starving to death there due to Robert Mugabe's despotic rule? Nobody cares about that Nakba.
And where is the U.N. Human Rights Commission in all of this? Well, with China, Zimbabwe, and Sudan as members, they're right where you'd expect them to be - in session, condemning Israel.
So how are the pampered, overly photographed Arab refugees different from the rest of the current and past Nakba sufferers? Well - they have props. Those keys offer a visual. I used to think they were really a key to a jihadist's heart. But we know that the only key to a jihadists heart is a dead infidel.
The self-titled Palestinians have been spending their free time (which they have lots of since they live in a welfare state and don't have to work) persecuting Israel, the Jewish State. If Robert Mugabe were Jewish, he would have been driven from power years ago, and he would be discredited by every news medium in the civilized world. Claim the Chinese are descendants of the 10 lost tribes and there would be divestment rallies on college campuses throughout North America and Europe. Newspapers would rewrite Chines history to deligitimize 4000 years of Chinese history. Not even Chairman Mao would escape the wrath of the enlightened who hate the fact that Jews have power for the first time in 2000 years.
Let's face it. The real Nakba is the moral inversion that has willingly taken place in Western civilization at the behest of a barbaric enemy.
But that doesn't mean we can't party.
So happy Nakba Day everyone. Strap on that bomb vest and celebrate the most morally twisted holiday ever created.
