Kalpal, instead of posting another one of your
irritable mental gestures seeking to resemble ideas,
you might want to wait until you actually have
something to say.

Jacob, stop wasting your time communicating with Ed Harges. His brain was closed long ago and his lack of an intellect is so obvious it screams out to the world.

He is a hate engine and will always be one. Let him fester in his poiling hatred and leave him alone to that task. You will not ever tell him anything. He knew it all but managed to forget 99.999999% of it recently and is no longer capable of taking in anything into his damaged hard-drive storage or RAM.

There is an old gypsy saying. “Never try to teach a pig to speak. You are wasting your time and you’re annoying the pig.” “Nuff said.

Go to the UN archive and read the debate before and after the UN partition vote on November 29, 1947. You will see who supported the partition and who rejected it. And Benny Morris wrote:
“The Palestinian Arabs were responsible for what befell them in 1948. Their responsibility was very direct and simple. In defiance of the will of the international community, as embodied in the UN General Assembly Resolution of November 29th, 1947 (No. 181), they launched hostilities against the Jewish community in Palestine in the hope of aborting the emergence of the Jewish state and perhaps destroying that community. But they lost; and one of the results was the displacement of 700,000 of them from their homes.” (Letter to The Irish Times,February 21, 2008).
  Shlomo Sand’s assumption that there is no Jewish people is contradicted by recent genetic research.  The researchers found that despite their long-term residence in different countries and isolation from one another, most Jewish populations were not significantly different from one another at the genetic level. The researchers studied seven Jewish populations: Yemenite, Ashkenazic, Near Eastern, North African, Asia Minor and the Balkans, and Ethiopian. The first six showed a strong affinity, with the Ashkenazic and Yemenite populations coming out the closest. Palestinian, Syrian and other non-Jewish Middle Eastern populations were also very close to the Jewish populations. Another research showed that the Jews in different countries are much closer to Jews in other countries that to their non-Jewish neighbors.
  Not only history supports the existence of the Jewish people, so does science. Even though there is no “Jewish DNA”, there is a definite biological-genetic evidence that the Jews are one people and its origin is in the Middle East.
  Go and learn.

Jacob is so typical of the Israeli thought police (including
the nominally “American” members of the force).

Not only must the Palestinians agree meekly to cease to exist
for the convenience of dear little Israel, but they mustn’t even
have the wrong feelings about it, impotently crying out in
a poem or a song. They—and the docile American public that foots the bill—
must all march to the Israeli drum and sing from the Israeli songbook— with
feeling—or else they are intrinsically evil anti-Semites who inexplicably hate
all the Jews and wish them dead.

Nice to know that I “occupy” America and of course the TV News… 
  That is a very good example of what it means to belong to the LUNATIC left…

  It is also nice to know that the reactionary isolationist Ron Paul could be an inspiration to Darwish.

Just watch the following YouTube video and listen to the words and match them to the pictures!

I believe that if Mahmoud Darwish was alive and had a chance to watch this video, he would have been inspired to write what would his master piece!

Oh dear me, did I express myself with an acidity unpleasant
to your pampered ears—so accustomed in Israeli-occupied
America to hearing nothing but expressions of praise and love
for the Holy State ?

Well, my failure to be nice to a militaristic racist ideologue is
in no way incompatible with liberalism. If you find that incomprehensible,
perhaps you’ve been watching too much of our Israeli-occupied TV “news”
programming, and have started to believe your own insultingly stupid
propaganda.

Of course a “true” liberal who uses personal insults is indeed very “principled”...
  As for the “cretin” remark - it takes one to know one…

re:By Jacob, June 19 at 10:45 am:

Amazing, Jacob. You mean to insult me by advising me to go vote for either David
Duke or Cynthia McKinney. The fact that you consider David Duke and Cynthia
McKinney equivalently evil shows the typical, unbelievably selfish tunnel vision of
the pro-Israel fanatic: no one and nothing has any existence, any moral meaning,
any significance or substance whatsoever, except insofar as he or she or it is
“good for Israel.” I’m a true, principled liberal; and as a consequence, I’m definitely
bad for Israel. And I’m perfectly proud of that, you moral cretin.

Ed,

  You can continue to hate Israel all you want. No, you are not “ethnically inferior” to anybody, except in your mind.
  No American soldiers have ever fought in any of Israel’s wars. 
  Next time, vote for the likes of David Duke or Cynthia McKinney…

I hope that Naffis-Sahely has read Darwish’s poem asking the Jews to leave Palestine:

  “Dig up your dead, take their bones, and leave our
  land
  Live where you wish but do not live among us
  It is time for you to get out
  and die where you wish but do not die among us.
  Get out of our land, our continent, our sea
our wheat, our salt, our sore, our everything, and get out of the memory of memories.”

  It would be interesting to hear his opinion on that poem.
=====================
An Addendum to Darwish’s Poem Quoted Above, from another exiled Son of Palestine:

Bid farewell to your dead in their graves;
Let them rest in peace as the victims of Zionism;
But get ready to leave in peace if you can,
Before the storm gathers momentum;
And the souls of your dead and ours cry out for justice.

Take with you your “Golden Calfs,”
Your evil spirits, your psychopaths,
Your weapons of mass destruction,
Your machines of Zionist terror and death;
And leave us the true Abrahamic cousins,
the good Jews, to live and let live among us! 

Take with you your evil schemes,
Along with your racism, bigotry and arrogance;
Take with you your Masada Complex,
Along with that of the Holocaust,
and the industry of blackmailing you built around it!

Leave with all your evil baggage you brought to the Holy Land;

Leave before Nemesis, the goddess of retribution comes around!

And in your “exodus” of evil and shame,
make intent on repentance if you wish to come back,
as peaceful individual pilgrims,
not the marauders, savages and occupiers that you are!

Pro-Israel zealots are so fond of telling us non-Jewish Americans,
their ethnically inferior servants, that it’s all so complex,
we shallow goyim can never hope to understand it.

But for some reason, our utter inability to comprehend the situation is not a
reason for us to stay out of the whole business.

No; our intellectual inferiority and ignorance is why we should keep funding, and
defending, and praising, and fighting wars to guarantee the security of the people
on one side of the dispute—and keep unquestioningly hating their enemies.

Dear Michael,

  You apparently forgot that Israel was established following the decision of the UN to end the British Mandate and have two independent states, one Arab and one Jewish. The Jews accepted, the Arabs did not. One day after the UN vote, they started a war, against the Palestinian Jewish community, hoping to prevent by force the implementation of the UN plan. They lost that war and brought nothing but disaster on the Palestinians, including the dispossession and the refugee problem.
  And,you forget that not a single colonial movement,
European or otherwise, had any historical connection to the land it colonized. The English did not became a people in India or the French in Algeria or the Duthch in South Africa. But, it is an undeniable historical fact that the Jews became a people in what later became known as Palestine, some 3500 y ago. And, every colonial movement had a “mother country” behind it. There was no such entity behind the Jewish settlement in Palestine.
  During the centuries there was always a Jewish presence in Palestine. Neither the Jews who came to Jerusalem in 1200, or the Jews who came to Safed in 1500, or the Jews who came in the 19th and 20th centuries are colonialists.
  If the Arabs had accepted the partition, today the Palestinian Arab state would have been 62 y old, side by side with the Palestinian Jewish state, and there would have been no refugees and the lives of thousands, on both sides, would have been spared.
  Yes, Darwish was an excellent poet. I like many of his poems, but the particular one I quoted, “Those Who Pass Between the Fleeting Words”, explains very well why it is so difficult to end the
hundred year old conflict.

Oh goodness me, what did the Zionists ever do to provoke such anger?

I hope that Naffis-Sahely has read Darwish’s poem asking the Jews to leave Palestine:

  “Dig up your dead, take their bones, and leave our land
  Live where you wish but do not live among us
  It is time for you to get out
  and die where you wish but do not die among us.
  Get out of our land, our continent, our sea
our wheat, our salt, our sore, our everything, and get out of the memory of memories.”
