Israel Palestine History

Palestinians want their own state and vote with their feet

Not long ago Libya was a prospering country. Medicine, education and electricity were free for all citizens. There was a supermarket chain with symbolic prices of basic products for large families. There was no rent. A liter of gasoline was cheaper than a liter of water, and the state paid $ 7, 000 for every newborn. Today, thanks to the efforts of the European powers, Libya is a ruined, miserable country taken to pieces by local clans, gangs and agents of influence, including “Al-Qaeda” and Iran.

Kosovo is another example. Recognized by the West, it remains “a black hole” of the world community and the main transit point for drugs and sex slavers trafficking.

Supporting the Palestinian state is a modern tendency. The problem is that nobody has asked Palestinians themselves what they wanted. It is clear that any inhabitant of Jenin or Nablus would without a hitch tell the BBC or CNN correspondents that he longs for a Free Palestine. Any other reaction is impossible in a patriarchal or totalitarian society. When foreigners asked a “Homo Soveticus” about his vital values, he immediately recollected his “Love for Motherland”. It didn’t stop him from savoring jokes about communist leaders, and having a yen for American tape recorders and jeans.

The recent (May 2011) poll of the Palestinian Center for Public Opinion (PCPO) has revealed that 35% of East Jerusalem Arabs would prefer Israeli citizenship, and the same number refrained from answering the question. In case of dividing Jerusalem 40% said they would try to get over to Israel.

According to a similar poll by Pechter Middle East Polls Institute conducted in January 2011 in 19 Arab quarters of East Jerusalem, 54% of Palestinians prefer to remain under Israeli jurisdiction. 39% were sure that their neighbors were eager to get Israeli passports.

Another PCPO poll was conducted in June 2011 after the reconciliation between FATH and HAMAS. It showed that Palestinians wanted independence but their major concerns were corruption, unemployment and poverty. Only 30% thought that their most serious problems were Israeli occupation and settlement activity.

This is hardly a sensation. When in 2000 in Camp-David Ehud Barak, the former Israeli Prime Minister expressed readiness to transfer significant parts of East Jerusalem to Arafat, Arab inhabitants of Shuafat and Beit Hanina villages in the North of Jerusalem started buying dwellings in the village of Beit Safafa in South Jerusalem which would anyway remain in the borders of Israel.

Israeli Police Will Not Face Trial Over Death of Palestinian Girl ...

The decision will come as a blow for the girl’s parents, who have campaigned for justice for their daughter, Abir Aramin, who died after being struck in the head during a school break. In a highly critical ruling, Israel’s High Court described the police investigation into the girl’s death as a “sordid affair” that had been both “sloppy” and “negligent” and ordered the state to pay the family’s legal costs. Residents said there were no clashes in that particular street, and a parallel investigation and autopsy carried out by Israeli NGOs concluded that she had been killed by a rubber bullet fired by police in the jeep. An Israeli civil court last year agreed with the girl’s family, saying there was “no debate” that Abir was shot by border guards. Zionist ’666′ Israel is a Satanic counterfeit. Ashkenazi Khazars (80%-90% of modern Jewry) are not the Jews of the Bible! They were never the chosen race and their ancestors were never in Palestine! What these Zionists do to the Palestinians is called: genocide and ethnic cleansing! See also: The Zionist Story! Genocide And Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine! Through The Eyes of An Ex-Israeli Soldier! “Khazars, a non-Semitic, Asiatic, Mongolian tribal nation who emigrated into Eastern Europe about the first century, who were converted as an entire nation to Judaism in the seventh century by the expanding Russian nation which absorbed the entire Khazar population, and who account for the presence in Eastern Europe of the great numbers of Yiddish-speaking Jews in Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Galatia, Besserabia and Rumania.
