12/3 How come Palestinians always want more land?
\_ This is obviously a troll, but for the benifit of the history
illiterate, I suggest you ask instead:
How come the Iseralis always want more land? After all, they were
originally from Mesopotamia (Iraq). Then they decided to grab
the land from the Cannites and Philistines, whom they completely
eradicated during war and conquest. But they were in turn expelled by
the Romans. 1000 years later, they grabbed the land again from
pardons. What do you think of that? (Think Amy Biehl)
Palestanians who had been living there all those time, first through
mass immigration and then with also outright military occupation and
confiscation. The Palestinians are of course losers. If they failed
to fend off the land robbers, they should just resign to their fate
and become gypsies. Victor be the strong and ruthless. Terror
prevails unless countered by greater terror.
| \_ because they want to live free without foreigh rule
| the real question, is why are they so intent (along with
| Iraq, Lybia, Syria) on killing Jews?
| \_ no a. but another q.:
| Say that Israel/Palestinian-state commissions something similar
| to S. Africa's Truth & Reconciliation Committee. Now, say that
| the TRC issues pardons in the same context that the SATRC issued
| pardons. What do you think of that? (Think Amy Biehl, and of her
| parents)
Amy Biehl was a Stanford graduate who left for S. Africa on a Fulbright
scholarship to help with voter registration in the nation's first all-race
1994 election marking the end of apartheid. In the wrong place at the wrong
time, she was in the black township of Guguletu when an angry mob returning
from a political rally stoned her car, dragged her out, beat her, and killed
her. At least one of her black compatriots attempted to defend her, telling
them that she was a friend. Four people were convicted and sentenced to
18 years. In July of this year, these four men were released from prison,
granted amnesty by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (as required by the
amnesty provision, they had fully confessed to the attack, including
the individual who committed the fatal stab wound). Peter and Linda Biehl
of Newport Beach, CA, released a public statement supporting the commission's
decision, and have since regularly travelled to S. Africa to confirm to
passersby that they have truly forgiven their daughter's killers, and towards
fostering understanding between those who would be blood enemies. Whether
each part of this story is right or wrong I don't say -- that you know that
each part happened and think about it is what's important. When this
disappears, ~jctwu/pub/biehl. |
