The slow ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

[P F Tinmore]

You think that is funny, ask a German where he lives.

germans do not call themselves GERMANS (or CHERMANS)
but "PALESTINIANS" do call themselves
"BALESTINIANS"----they use the word invented
by the greeks
it is true that they do an attempted
clean up by saying FLEASSTEEEN--
but that is more comical than
purified

They also use the GREEK NAME "neopolis"
for a city in samaria which they actually claim
is an arabic NABLUS

try not to be so dense, tinnie

Funny thing, Arabs rejected the name palestine and palestinian until the 1960s. In their view, the land was south Syria, called Suriya Janubiyya in Arabic. There was even a newspaper there by that name

There was also a newspaper called The Filistine when Palestine was still under Ottoman rule.

so?? what is your point? you are insisting that muslims decided
to get "nationalistic" because jews bought land from the turks and
muslims were developing their rationale for slitting the throat of babies
way back in the early 1900s ? I knew that-----in fact they used
very similar rationale for the armenian genocide that put tens of
thousand of heads bobbing in the rivers for YOUR DELIGHT
I knew that. Now go away have wet dreams

I don't think that comparing a tiny state physically and population wise is good statistical validation...Israel's strenth and standard of living has been helped by World Jewry like no nation before...Israeli production of technology is dependant on world-wide consumption far from her borders...her products of tecnology would be useles if UN sanctions ever go into effect. This is not far-fetched when EU is already discussing tiny hints of sanctions if they do not withdraw from the West Bank...

You're allowed to be dumb.


Israel: $200 Billion Gross Domestic Product. 40th Largest Economy In The World. 30th Highest Per Capita Income In The World


KPMG: Israel Spreading Its Wings, Growing Internationally

Israel has a dynamic, technologically advanced market economy, with a GDP of approximately US$200 billion. Over the past five years, GDP has grown by an average of five percent annually, while inflation has been near zero and the Israeli Shekel has remained stable versus the US Dollar. The Bank of Israel's interest rate is at a record low, at 0.5 percent, and is among the lowest in the world. Raw materials (excluding diamonds and fuels), constitute 40 percent of total imports, while manufacturing (low-to-high technology products and services), constitutes 87 percent of total exports. In addition, there are more Israeli-domiciled companies traded on NASDAQ (currently 63) than in any country outside the US.

The country's entrepreneurial and competitive environment is underpinned by a number of cultural and social factors. Education is one of the key drivers with high numbers of science and engineering students graduating each year - Israel boasts a ratio of 135 scientists per 100,000 workers, the highest in the world

In the 1990s, following the successful establishment of Yozma, one of Israel's first venture capital (VC) programs, nearly 100 VC firms have been established, using foreign and local investment capital, to help catapult the creation and expansion of a large number of high technology companies. Approximately US$9.4 billion of capital was invested from these sources between 1993 and 2000. In all, approximately US$4.2 billion of capital has been invested in Israeli private equity firms KPMG - April 2011 - frontiers in finance: Spreading its wings

Geezum - do you realize that nothing you just posted has a thing to do with what I said?

Please, reconsider your definition of "dumb" and see if you can post something that actually addresses the points made in the post.

Inequality - specifically income inequality as well as attitudes, building permits etc etc. that have NOTHING TO DO with Israels GDP.

Have you heard of the "Brand Israel" propaganda campaign?

Google that.

Not according to genetics and culturally - Jews and other Palestinians had the same Middle Eastern culture.



What I am saying is no one has the right to claim they have "more right" to a land because they once held it 3000 years ago. It's a weak argument. Israeli's have a right to the portion of Palestine called Israel solely and only because they were given it under the Mandate, fought for parts of it in several wars and that is it. Not because of some religious tie to a nation that ceased to exist several thousand years ago. To grant legitimacy to that claim would mean having to re-examine historical boundaries and claims to every nation on earth and the claims of people's who may have inhabited them at one point or another. It's lunacy.

You lost the debate, again.

Eugene V. Rostow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eugene Rostow, Legal Scholar, Former Dean of the Yale Law School, Under Secretary of State in the Johnson administration, US State Dept Legal Advisor, Drafter of UN Res. 242 pertaining to Israeli land in the West Bank...

The British Mandate recognized the right of the Jewish people to "close settlement" in the whole of the Mandated territory [Palestine]. The Jewish right of settlement in Palestine west of the Jordan river, that is, in Israel, the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, was made unassailable. That right has never been terminated and cannot be terminated except by a recognized peace between Israel and its neighbors. And perhaps not even then, in view of Article 80 of the U.N. Charter, "the Palestine article," which provides that "nothing in the Charter shall be construed ... to alter in any manner the rights whatsoever of any states or any peoples or the terms of existing international instruments...."

The mandate implicitly denies Arab claims to national political rights in the area in favor of the Jews; the mandated territory was in effect reserved to the Jewish people for their self-determination and political development, in acknowledgment of the historic connection of the Jewish people to the land. Lord Curzon, who was then the British Foreign Minister, made this reading of the mandate explicit. There remains simply the theory that the Arab inhabitants of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip have an inherent 'natural law' claim to the area. Neither customary international law nor the United Nations Charter acknowledges that every group of people claiming to be a nation has the right to a state of its own."

umh....no - it's exactly what I said: ... because they were given it under the Mandate

I have to disagree with you on that point. The mandate was not to give anything to anybody and it did not.

The mandate was to assist the new state of Palestine to gain independence according to the wishes of the people. It was to facilitate the immigration of Jews and assist them in obtaining Palestinian citizenship. As Palestinian citizen they would be able to live anywhere in Palestine. They would also have the right to participate in the government as any other citizen would.

When the mandate left Palestine it did not cede any land or sovereignty to anyone. That remained in the hands of the Palestinians who included the natives and anyone who legally immigrated and obtained citizenship.

Awww, did I breakee the rules on the messageboard? I'm sowwy

al Jazeera is state-owned and Muslim Brotherhood-owned. Deal with it

Don't be an ass. You're essentially spamming the thread with article after article and no commentary (maybe because you have no original thoughts on the subject matter or your primary desire is to simply disrupt?). You claim Al Jazeera is both state owned and MB owned - well, it's can't be both so make up your mind. Or, better yet stick the facts: it's primarily funded by Qatar (funding doesn't equal state owned).

50 lashes with a wet noodle for me.

Qatar and Muslim Brotherhood are in bed together and yes al Jazeera is funded by both.

Now, you know

I had a feeling that you were a sock of Marc39. Expect him to spam the same link over and over and over again.
