(English Translation)
July 4th is Independence Day in the United States. A day when the country’s Fathers set fourth
a Declaration of Independence… from British rule.
India also declared its independence from British rule in 1947.
Finland declared its independence from Russian rule in 1917.
In the early part of the last century Mexico declared its independence from Spain.
The list is endless…. country after country declaring themselves free from the grips of another….
On May 14th, 1948, the ‘People’s Council of the Land of Israel’ declared the following…
ACCORDINGLY, WE, MEMBERS OF THE PEOPLE’S COUNCIL, REPRESENTATIVES OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY OF
ERETZ-ISRAEL AND OF THE ZIONIST MOVEMENT, ARE HERE ASSEMBLED ON THE DAY OF THE TERMINATION OF
THE BRITISH MANDATE OVER ERETZ-ISRAEL AND, BY VIRTUE OF OUR NATURAL AND HISTORIC RIGHT AND ON
THE STRENGTH OF THE RESOLUTION OF THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY, HEREBY DECLARE THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF A JEWISH STATE IN ERETZ-ISRAEL, TO BE KNOWN AS THE STATE OF ISRAEL.
Termination of the British Mandate over Eretz- Israel (Land of Israel)??? What ‘Land of
Israel’??? Whatever happened to ‘The Land of Palestine’???
In 1938, Mahatma Gandhi wrote the following… “Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense
that England belongs to the English or France to the French…What is going on in Palestine today
cannot be justified by any moral code of conduct…If they [the Jews] must look to the Palestine
of geography as their national home, it is wrong to enter it under the shadow of the British
gun. A religious act cannot be performed with the aid of the bayonet or the bomb. They can
settle in Palestine only by the goodwill of the Arabs…As it is, they are co-sharers with the
British in despoiling a people who have done no wrong to them. I am not defending the Arab
excesses. I wish they had chosen the way of non-violence in resisting what they rightly regard
as an unacceptable encroachment upon their country. But according to the accepted canons of
right and wrong, nothing can be said against the Arab resistance in the face of overwhelming
odds.” Mahatma Gandhi, quoted in “A Land of Two Peoples” ed. Mendes-Flohr.
So just who was Israel declaring their independence from? The British had no control over
‘their’ country, according to THIS report the country was populated by Palestinians at the
time… not Israelis.
Just as America itself was stolen from its native population, so was Israel. In both cases the
‘justification’ continues by dehuminising the victims, both the First Nation People of North
America and the Palestinians.
Perhaps that explains why the United States government has been the most loyal supporter of
Israel since its inception… perhaps that explains why they allow Israel to continue with its
genocidal polices against the Palestinians, are they not guilty of the same crimes against
their own Native population?
There are many ‘whys’ and very few answers coming forth, but the question remains…
ISRAEL’S INDEPENDENCE FROM WHOM?

The native American population took it from early natives too. Where
does this cycle end?

The Urban Dictionary defines as number 2 a reargunner as
An accessory to the more commonly known "wing man," the rear gunner's
job is to provide even more assistance to the lead and the wing men. The
reargunner's job is to hurl insults and other harmful comments about
the physical traits or mental insecurities of anyone and everyone that
tries to approach either of his buddies. The reargunner is a necessity
for serious pick up situations, a job to be entrusted to a true friend
and serious **** talker.
Good question. If it's about purely genetics, we all have a common
ancestor in Africa, more precisely Ethiopia. So whose native to where,
since the original land of the first homo sapiens sapiens was in
Ethiopia. I suppose, nonetheless, that what we could call "native",
means the first people ever to inhabit that land, which means that
before they came, nobody else was there except animals and other forms
of life.
AT LEAST USA IS NOT TORTURING AND MURDERING ITS NATIVES IN DOZENS OF TORTURE
PRISON CAMPS LIKE iSRAEL IS DOING TO PALESTINIANS
Mr. Gandhi is no authority. The statehood for both Palestinian and
Jewish people were to have been done at the termination date of the
British Mandate over Palestine and overseen by the UN. The Jewish
people did so and the Palestinians along with all the neighboring Arab
countries attacked the very next day which clearly shows that the two
state solution was never in the minds of the attackers to begin with.

If you believe in a Supreme Creator you would know that everything is
owned and controlled by that Supreme and all human beings are
caretaker servants thus shareholders and not supreme proprietors.
I'm sorry but the United Nations plan in 1947 did endeavour a State
for the Jewish people alongside one for the Arab people. The
Palestinians, alongside with their Arab brethren refused the plan and
attacked the newly created State of Israel the very next day. And we
all know that thanks to the resilience,tenacity and intelligence of
the Jewish people, Israel has succeeded in defeating all of its
neighbours ganged up against her numerous times: 1948 (Israeli War of
Independence), 1956 (Suez Crisis), 1967 (Six Day War), 1973 (Yom
Kippur War), 1982 (Lebanese Civil War).
Israel as large capacities to defeat the Arab barbarians who refuse
dialogue and peace. Everybody needs to understand that those who do
not want to dialogue are from the Arab camp. Israel has shown numerous
times its willingness to dialogue, even cede territory as it just did
under Ariel SHARON in the Gaza Strip where all of the Israeli
settlements have been forcibly dismantled. Israel supports the two-
state solution proposal, which means Israel living side by side safely
to an independent Palestinian state that recognises Israel's current
borders and pledges to not violate its territorial integrity and
security. Israel hopes to hear the same from Arab nations: Egypt and
Jordan are the only ones to have signed respectively peace treaties
with the State of Israel, others like some of the Gulf states
(Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait) cooperate economically
speaking with Israel, just as do Morocco and Tunisia to a lesser
extent. Furthermore, Israel has an extensive strategic partnership
with a non-Arab Muslim state which is Turkey, which is the antithesis
to Arab extremism. Israel also used to have brilliant relations with
Iran under the Shah and wishes (I think rightfully so) that the
Iranian Islamist regime gets toppled and defeated as it seeks to arm
itself with nuclear weapons and is a highly unstable and divisive
force in the region as can be seen from its negative influence in Iraq
and Lebanon.
So please don't speak shit you ignorant piece of shit.
UN does not own Palestine and neither does USA
Are you suggesting that Jews have a direct line to the "Creator"
Michael
While all this is true, I do feel it necessary to point out that,
as always, Alex Seredin is lying about who is torturing &/or
murdering anyone.

Well, I suppose that was a good point, too :-)

What the stupid lying hatemonger refuses to grasp is that
neither did the local immigrants who are nly now called "
Palestinians". now that it's politically expedient.
Susan
Which is of course a huge steaming lie.
The League of Nations referred to them as Palestinians, as did the UN, Ben
Gurion, Balfour etc etc.
But you continue with your shoveari inspired lies and b'ullshit cohen.
They hardly came in one group. One group conquered another, do not
forget that the American Indians had other Indians as slaves too.
One reason that the Spanish conquered the Indians was because the
subject races of the Indians join them in attacking their Indian
masters.
