Would someone please inform me on why Tinmore is so passionate about this. Tough to debate when you don’t understand the logic of the person you’re debating against. Thank you.

You've never answered Azog's question of why you are obsessed with this issue. Please do so now.

You really don't want to know.

Mahmoud Abbas blames Jews' 'social behavior' for the Holocaust - Jewish Telegraphic Agency

Anyone notice in his infamous You Tube postings there wasn't one mention of the Holocaust? This is the reason.
Abbas believes the Jewish people have NO connection to the Holy Land; only Muslims and Christians do.
For that reason ALONE there will ALWAYS be violence

(COMMENT)

What does this essential mean?

The connection to the Holy Land was assumed and acted upon by the Allied Powers at San Remo.

Whereas recognition has thereby been given to the historical connexion of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country​

But, connection or not, does not alter the fact that subsequent actions were taken on that recognition over the last century.

There is no "do over" for the Arabs of Palestine. You cannot roll back the clock. They have to work with the mistakes they have made and what they have now.

There is an Israel, and the conditions of today require the Arabs of Palestine to drop the "Armed Struggle" policy and work with other nations to build a working and productive economy.

To put it simply; he cant stand the fact that Israel exists. To constantly show YOU TUBE Videos of HASIDIC JEWS chanting for Israel's destruction without ANY explanation are signs of ignorance, stupidity, and desperation

Below is just an example of why some Hasidic and Orthodox Jews feel the way they do



The anti-Zionist world-view of the ultra-Orthodox groups Neturei Karta and Satmar Hasidism perceives Zionism and the establishment of the State of Israel as an anti-messianic act, conceived and born from sin. These groups vigorously deny the very legitimacy of the collective political return to the Holy Land and to Jewish sovereignty. For them, this is the handiwork of humans, violating the Jewish people’s oath of political quietism.


In the words of the (as expounded by Rashi), the people were adjured not to return collectively to the Land of Israel by the exertion of physical force, nor to “rebel against the nations of the world,” nor to “hasten the End.” In short, they were required to wait for the heavenly, complete, miraculous, supernatural, and meta-historical redemption that is totally distinct from the realm of human endeavor. This waiting over two millennia manifests the very essence and singularity of the Jewish people, expressing their faith in divine providence, in the assurance of the prophets, and in messianic destiny.


In this understanding, the Jewish people have been removed from the causal laws that govern nature and history and are exclusively bound by another set of religio-ethical laws within a causal process of reward and punishment, exile and redemption: “Unless the Lord build the house, its builders labor in vain; unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman keeps vigil in vain” (

Naksa Day: Palestinians Remember 1967 Israeli Occupation (VIDEO)

This week, Palestinians mark the 52nd anniversary of Naksa Day, when Israel occupied the West Bank, Jerusalem, Gaza, Sinai and the Golan Heights in the 1967 Six Day War, sparking a mass exodus of Palestinians from their homes.

‘Naksa,’ or the ‘setback,’ refers to the beginning of the 1967 Six Day War on June 5, which saw Israel triple in size as it annexed East Jerusalem, took the West Bank from Jordan, the Gaza Strip and Sinai from Egypt, and the Golan Heights from Syria, beginning over 50 years of occupation.

Palestinian Author Ramzy Baroud Heads to Kenya in Ground-Breaking Tour

“Until the lion learns how to write, every story will glorify the hunter” is a popular adage within the African decolonial literary movement, and according to Palestinian author, Ramzy Baroud, it accurately describes how the Israeli narrative has dominated the story of the occupation of Palestine.

Baroud will be in Nairobi from June 25 to July 3 on a ground-breaking tour to discuss his latest book, The Last Earth (Pluto, 2018) at various venues across the city.

550 Palestinians to Be Homeless Due to Israel’s Demolition Order

Israeli authorities are pressing ahead with plans to demolish an entire Palestinian neighborhood in occupied East Jerusalem, human rights NGO B’Tselem reported, which will leave 550 homeless.

Wadi Yasul, located between the neighborhoods of Abu Tur and Silwan, is home to 72 Palestinian families.

According to B’Tselem, the Jerusalem Municipality has “issued demolition orders for all the neighborhood homes so all the families there are facing the threat of expulsion.”

Kushner as a Colonial Administrator: Let’s Talk about the ‘Israeli Model’

In a TV interview on June 2, on the news docuseries “Axios” on the HBO channel, Jared Kushner opened up regarding many issues, in which his ‘Deal of the Century’ was a prime focus.

The major revelation made by Kushner, President Donald Trump’s adviser and son-in-law, was least surprising. Kushner believes that Palestinians are not capable of governing themselves.

Not surprising, because Kushner thinks he is capable of arranging the future of the Palestinian people without the inclusion of the Palestinian leadership. He has been pushing his so-called ‘Deal of the Century’ relentlessly while including in his various meets and conferences countries such as Poland, Brazil, and Croatia, but not Palestine.

Much has been said about the subtle racism in Kushner’s words, reeking with the stench of old colonial discourses where the natives were seen as lesser, incapable of rational thinking beings who needed the civilized ‘whites’ of the western hemisphere to help them cope with their backwardness and inherent incompetence.

Abbas: Israel "is a colonialist project that has no connection to Judaism... The Jews were used as pawns" - Video, Mahmoud Abbas | PMW

The Hasidic Jewish Community , the extreme Ultra Orthodox Jewish Community and Abbas oppose Israel but for totally different reasons.

Either the poster is too stupid to know the difference or too bigoted to acknowledge it

We DO need that STUPID button

RE: Palestine Today
P F Tinmore, et al,

This, of course, is the very essence of Political Satire as viewed by the Arabs of Palestine hold of the players in the conflict. This (ironically!) is an inverted (backward) adaptation and modern version → that being the story of David and Goliath [David being the chosen by the Creator → anointed by Samuel - to be the King of Israel (the story also told as: Dawud and Jalut in Islam)], at least 8 Centuries BCE ago (≈ 2800 years before the establishment of the State of Palestine).

(COMMENT)

This technique is a most effective in naturally making the reader feel the emotion that the author intentionally planned for them: sympathy for the State of Palestine and (by extension) the Gazan violators of the sovereign integrity of Israel.

It has nothing to do with portraying the truth, and everything to do with drumming-up sympathy fostering sentiment in the incitement and support for the criminal behaviors that further future acts of violence.

Most Respectfully,
R
