And as for the thread name here, "PLO censoring pro-Iraqi sentiments, it's reprehensible that the U.S. is pushing a "peace process" which condones this kind of censorship. Better to just let the Arabs fight the Jews, without any funding from U.S. slave-taxpayer-units. If the Arabs kill all the Jews I'll say it was a really, really stupid ideas for a bunch of Jews from Poland and Germany and Russia to go kick out a bunch of "sand niggers" and "ragheads" and not expect retribution to someday arrive.
Oh, and spare me the typical Zionist rhetoric about how "YHWH" or Whatever It's Damned Name Is "promised" this land to the Jews, despite their Polish or Russian or Ukrainian residency and genetics for thousands of years.
Well the polotics of the middle east and the history of the Jews both in and out of Israel are much more convoluted that Tim and other would make it out to be. I find it quite intresting how members will bemone the plight of the Plaistinians in Israel yet no one ever mentions the fact that 80% of the population of Jordan is Palistinian. Nor do they mention the reasons *why* the PLO was operating out of Lebanon in the 70's and early 80's (for those of you who don't know it's because they tried to overthrow the government in Jordan and the King sent the troops out to slaughter them.) Nor is there any mention that historically there was never any county of Palistine until the British created it out of what was known as Trans-Jordan which again was a creation of the British after the defete of the Ottoman Empire (the Turks for the less informed) durring WWI. Lets not forget that the British promised both the Jews and the Palistinians their own country (unfortunatly they promised them both the same peice of land). And god forbid no one ever mentions the fact that the UN created both a State of Israel and a State of Palistine in 1945 and the Palistinians rather than declare thier independence and form a governemnt joined with the rest of the Arab states in going to war against the Jews currently living in Palistine. They then were promptly handed their asses by the Israelies *without* help from the British or the US (as an intresting side note it was the Russians who were the first to reconise the State of Israel not any of the western governments). Now some may wish to extend the lame argument that the British didn't have the right to carve up the middle east nor did the Jews have the right to immegrate to Israel. Well the simple fact of the matter is that *every* country in exsistance today has been created by one group of people conquering another. All the countries of North *and* South America were formed that way. The empires of the Incas and Aztecs were formed the same way. The various tribes of North America gaind control of their "huntting grounds" by taking them away from those that were there before. So wine and cry all you want about Israel and the Evil Zionist but they have the strongest military in the area (and one of the best skilled in the world) and they have a shitload of Nukes. They ain't going anywhere with or without any help from the US. (for those of you silly enough to think the US should force them out or let the Russian backed Arabs do the job I sugest a reading of the Masada Plan). - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
