In prison, you're what they would call a "tossed salad".
Have you ever been to prison? I have, and never got 'tossed'. NEXT?
No, I've just been to county. CJ, IRC Santa Ana and the Irvine Ranch. Almost went to Wayside once. I'm just a good little Catholic kid, I don't do anything wrong.............any more.Have you ever been to prison? I have, and never got 'tossed'. NEXT?
Did you say "bit headed" or "big headed"?I do owe you an apology Teddy - my temper was very, well, crappy that night. You are one of the more civil posters and you didn't deserve my attitude.
No need. We all get a bit heated at times.
Peaceful...I would like an honest answer about this from Team Palestine about this.
I ask in light of this thread:
Arab Envy Of Israel Contributes To Their Dysfunction | US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum
this thread:
The Muslim claim to Jerusalem | US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum
And the article in above thread (which penelope provided from another thread here):
The Muslim Claim to Jerusalem :: Daniel Pipes
I could go on, but I really want to hear from Team Palestine about this question.
In light of how the rest of the Middle East is going and the history of how Islam cared about Israel ('Palestine') before the Jews decided to return; tell me honestly what 'Palestine' would be like today.
Kiss-ass!I do owe you an apology Teddy - my temper was very, well, crappy that night. You are one of the more civil posters and you didn't deserve my attitude.
I'm just fuckin' with ya.I reckon you need your glasses to read what I wrote.

That's because you had the wrong dressing.

And you sir have no clue on this off topic portion of this thread.
The historical record shows Palestinian-Arabs and Palestinian-Jews got along in relative peace for generations, until the Zionist migration, which imported all the hostility into the area.Nah...I don't like it when I act like a shit.
Unless they really really deserve it. You been a good boy Billo?
Actually, to get back on topic - this topic kind of reminds me of a type of science fiction exploring alternate histories if certain things hadn't occurred or decisions made differently.
If there had been no massive Jewish immigration to populate and support the formation of Israel - what would have happened when the Mandate left? Would they have left? Would Arab nationalism have been the same?
Honest answer? Jewish "return" is a Zionist myth. Temple Judaism was replaced by Rabbinical Judaism which was proselytised throughout the Roman Empire in direct competition with Christianity, until Christianity "won". Subsequent persecution by Christians created an idea of "return" to as a spiritual redemption amongst the Jewish converts. Zionism perverted this idea of a spiritual return into one of physical "return". Had Herzl become a playwrite instead of a political theorist, Jewish Britons, French, Germans, Poles, Russians would be happily living their lives in Europe or migrating to America. Assuming no rise of Fascism and WW2 of course.
Palestine would have eventually gained independance from the British empire and as the original proposed constitution stated, been a progressive inclusive state of its Muslim, Jewish and Christian populations. Jewish and Christian Europeans would be able to immigrate and become citizens of Palestine if they so desired. Haifa, being the terminal of Oil piplines from Iran and Iraq, would have helped generate wealth and investment and British knowhow would have improved agriculture and infrastructure.
Palestine without Zionists would have been much like pre 1958 Lebanon
There would have been no British occupation, or any LoN if there had not been a Jewish return to Israel. So the land would have still been Turkish Ottoman and the arab muslims would be slaves. The few Jews and Christians in Palestine would be the owners of the land and employing the dysfunctional arab muslims as menials. The blood would have flown down the gutters as the surrounding arab nationalists tried to gain control and the Ottomans would have been ruthless in their methods of control. There would have been no Pakistan as the British would not need to send troops to Palestine, no Iraq as it would have been just another part of the Ottoman empire. No Syria, no Jordan, no Egypt, no Iran. So no M.E. problems would have arisen other than inter muslim ones, so this board would not be here and team Palestine would not exist, nor would their claims of the holocaust being used to mooch money from the US. Very doubtful is the U.N. would even exist as there would have been no need for one. Be more in depth in your views and go back to the origins of the Jewish migration to Palestine and you will see that the Ottomans instigated the whole mess.
Daniel Pipes. Ugh.
What is "Team Palestine"?
Those like yourself that support arab nationalism and terrorism and demonise Israel because of deep seated anti semitism and Jew hatreds
Where have I supported terrorism?
Oh yes. Pull the anti-semite card then turn around and look in the mirror. It's all you have left.
