The Most Successful Terrorist of the 20th Century

[Hollie]

Yasser died from polonium poisoning thanks to another prominent Israeli terrorist, and your good bud, Ariel Sharon. How's that old war whore doing these days?

"For me, there was no surprise. From the very first day, I was convinced that Yasser Arafat had been poisoned by Ariel Sharon. I even wrote about it several times.

"It was a simple logical conclusion.

"First, a thorough medical examination in the French military hospital where he died did not find any cause for his sudden collapse and death. No traces of any life-threatening disease were found.

"The rumors distributed by the Israeli propaganda machine that Arafat had AIDS were blatant lies. They were a continuation of the rumors spread by the same machine that he was gay – all part of the relentless demonization of the Palestinian leader, which went on daily for decades."

If you didn't have lies, what would you write about?

Yasser died from taking it up the ass.

At least he died doing what he loved.

I guess I would have preferred Arafat having had an instant in time to see the business end of a Hellfire missile coming at him at near the speed of sound... with a big yellow smiley face painted on the nose of the missile.

i think both shamir and stern were true believers in something that shouldn't have been believed in, and you can call them a lot of things, but i am not sure "terrorist" is an applicable term.

look, he was fighting for the liberty of his people in a very difficult time and just because they (irgun and lehi) as well armed as the british is no reason to call them "terrorist" for his actions of those times. that is a word that has to be used with a helluva lot of forethought, caution, and consideration.

"terrorist" is a word used by the haves to condemn the have nots, to make them less than human.

that being said, i think a lot of common ordinary jews bought a bill of goods from the british and the world zionist poo-bahs. the brits wanted to get rid of the trouble making jews and the jews knew that if they made trouble the brits would send them off to some proised land.

very bad idea, on both parts...and here we are.

let me add a bit of a disclaimer too...the above does not mean i condone in any way atrocities and war crimes committed by any militant organisation or group, to include state armies. the deir yassin massacre and the irgun's and jew's policy towards the arabs was unconscionable. the king david hotel was a legitimate target, as are all political, economic, and military targets.

Hebrews murdered the Canaanites, Moses, except for the children they gang raped.
I'm sure you take a lot of pride in that.
What makes Jews entitled to land their ancestors murdered and pillaged for?
Even someone as blind as you must have noticed how the Balfour Declaration occurred at the same time the Royal Navy was converting from coal to oil to power its fleets.
What does that tell you about the "little, loyal Jewish Ulster?"
In short, Mo...you are just not that fucking special.
You're merely pliable in the hands of Great Powers.

BTW, Mo, the Persians, Greeks, and Italians didn't cut and run when the Romans, Muslims, and Christians came to visit.

Cut and run? Persians, Greeks, Romans were invaded just like the Israelites we're invaded by the Romans. Stop vomiting anti semtic garbage from piece of shit Nazi sites (like yourself). The one race / tribe the Canaanites mixed with, were the Hebrews, you fucking idiot. Go back to school, and start at third grade, where you left off.

Canaan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Canaan in the Hebrew Bible

Canaan and the Canaanites are mentioned some 160 times in the Hebrew Bible, mostly in the Pentateuch and the books of Joshua and Judges.[30] Canaan first appears as one of Noah's grandsons, cursed with perpetual slavery because his father Ham had "looked upon" the drunk and naked Noah; God later promises Canaan's land to Abraham and eventually delivers it to the Israelites.[30] The Biblical history has become increasingly problematic as the archaeological and textual evidence supports the idea that the early Israelites were in fact themselves Canaanites.[30]

Why do you suppose we don't hear too much about the Persian, Greek, and Roman diaspora? Maybe because they've lived continuously for thousands of years on the lands they occupy today in spite of repeated invasions. The only reason the Jewish State exists today is because great Western Powers, i.e., England and the US, wanted a base for their empires.

I'm not sure how you're defining "mixed", Mo. but it looks to me like a lot of Canaanites were systematically exterminated or enslaved by the godly Hebrews:

"The conquest begins in Canaan with Jericho, followed by Ai (central Canaan), after which Joshua builds an altar to Yahweh at Mt Ebal (northern Canaan) and renews the Covenant. (The covenant ceremony has elements of a divine land-grant ceremony, similar to ceremonies known from Mesopotamia).[10]

"The narrative now switches to the south. The Gibeonites trick the Israelites into entering into an alliance with them by saying they are not Canaanites; this prevents the Israelites from exterminating them, but they are enslaved instead"

Book of Joshua - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ah Shadap! you don't know what your talking about. Jews maintained a presence throughout all this time. They defended Hebron against the Crusaders six hundred years ago, and Israel and Jerusalem have been part of Judaism and Jewish prayers for thousands of years. The land certainly does not belong to a bunch of invading Arab Muslim savages, in fact Arabs NEVER OWNED "PALESTINE" FOR THE LAST 700 YEARS.

The Exodus

Although slavery afforded the Jews a life of relative comfort, it would never raise the value of the Jewish people to the level they desired. So Jewish instigators Moses and Aaron negotiated with Pharaoh to leave Egypt with its plentiful food, and wander through the desert for 40 years. Initially Pharaoh was reluctant to relinquish his hold on the Jew community, but after a few of Aaron's cheap magic tricks (including rubber snakes in a can, red dye in a river, and conjuring thousands of amphibians and insects on a whim), Pharaoh readily agreed. The harsh conditions of the desert claimed an entire generation, somewhat successfully increasing the value of Jews as a commodity. During a heat and dehydration-induced fever, Moses had a final flash of brilliance. He decided the Jews would be even more valuable if they were perceived to come from an exotic foreign land. He concocted a back story about a Jewish homeland, called it Israel and renamed the Jews Israelites.

Aaron, on the other hand, went in a different direction. How better to thin out their numbers than to piss off Yahweh? To that end, he collected all the jewelry the Jews had managed to earn during their time as slaves, melted it down and fashioned it into an idol sure to upset Yahweh: a statue of Yahweh's mother-in-law. Yahweh spoke to Moses and suggested murdering a significant portion of Jews as punishment. Moses and Aaron immediately saw the wisdom in this opportunity and killed a third of the Jewish population; then they had a nice nosh and contemplated what to do next.

If we start with the US Department of Defense definition of "terrorism", it's pretty hard to justify most of the actions of all empires and a majority of nation states:

"The Department of Defense Dictionary of Military Terms defines terrorism as:

"The calculated use of unlawful violence or threat of unlawful violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological."

Unlawful violence or the threat of violence as a means to intimidate governments or societies in pursuit of political, religious, ideological (economic) goals seems older than the golden calf. Maybe that's because all governments serve the interests of their richest citizens first?

'Think it's time to lighten up on the kosher kool-aid?

"Palestinians have continuously resided in Palestine since four thousand years before Christ... Their ancestors built the cities of Jerusalem, Nablus, Jericho, Beisan, Acca and Jaffa.

"The Hebrews arrived in the land between 1400-1200 B.C., and only maintained control over it during the lifetimes of King David and his son King Solomon – a period of about 80 years.

"The land then came under Greek and Roman rule, and was then conquered by Islam in the year 637 A.D. under the second Caliph, Omar. By that time, the Jews had already left Jerusalem, and Christianity was the dominant religion.

"The Caliph granted full security to all Christians, including personal safety, and protection of property, religion and churches. The Muslims declared Jerusalem the capital of Palestine, and the city remained under Islamic rule until the end of the Ottoman Empire in 1918, except for a brief time of Christian rule under the Crusaders."

US Involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: Solution or Complication? by Lt. Col. Mohammed F. Abo-Sak

Fast-forward to 1948 when one-third of the citizens of Mandate Palestine imposed a Jewish State on the majority by force of arms. Why do you suppose the western powers (read UK and US ) acting through the UN didn't call for free elections in Palestine?

Were they afraid the possibility of a Semitic federation might cut into arms sales, or maybe they thought it would not be as easy to control the flow of Semitic oil without Zionist partners in Israel?

i'm a vet and all, but why in the world would i use the department of defense's definition or let them define the terms. a lot of times things are just about the terms and some terms i don't use. language is an important part of a struggle. i don't call the H blocks..."Her Majesty's Prison Maze". i dont call al quds..."jerusalem". i don't call al khalil... "hebron"...and i do not use the word "terrorist", except in very rare circumstance because it is invariably used by the "haves" to demonise the "have nots"...and that, at the time, was shamir, or the jews of the period. (abd again, i am not defending them.)

no bigs...just pointing it out...i know a lot of people who worked very hard to get that term eliminated from the media in the '70s and '80s. it was being applied to a particular people. they could be called successul in that end. it is just a bad word, in my opinion.
