P F Tinmore,
et al,
This is nonsense.
That is why the support for Israel is so high in the US.
The people have been misled.
(COMMENT)
The facts are clear. And certainly the history shows that while no active player in this drama, now nearly a century in the making, has acted perfectly (the human factor), the moral fiber of the Hostile Arab Palestinian, that opened war, used terrorism, and constantly thwarted the prospects for peace, is anything if not a danger to regional security and the principle obstacle to the development of region prosperity.
Yes, no player has been perfect in their actions, yet none have been so detrimental by many factors of 10 than that of the Palestinians. They must recreate a history that save face and shows themselves to be the honorable victim in order to sustain momentum. But no nation, that bases it entire struggle and war-like character on the use of terrorism by any means, can claim even the foothills of honor and integrity as a culture and people.
No matter what any other player has done, no people can justify in any way, their actions, exhibit themselves as the victim, or lay claim the moral high ground that has made this pledge in public - then opened hostilities.
Yes, such a people have lost their honesty, integrity, good character and morale fortitude, and replaced it with the call for Jihad. And who in the world supports jihad and the armed struggle of the fedayeen?
- Why the support for Israel is so high in the US.
No matter how many mistakes the State of Israel has made, and will make, there is no greater evil in the world today, than the Fundamentalist call for Jihad and Armed Struggle; by a people who believe they have an inherent right to reject all solutions which are substitutes for the total liberation of the former territory under the Mandate of Palestine and rejects all proposals aimed at the a peaceful settlement. They are a people that believe the 1947 Partition Plan, and the establishment of the State of Israel are entirely illegal - and - there is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. They are a people that see Jihad as the individual duty of every Moslem.
If the Hostile Arab Palestinian People want to threaten the People of the United States, just because we want to help preserve the Jewish State and their culture --- WELL! go ahead. But don't turn around with tears in your eyes and ask for sympathy. In the US, we don't play that game.
Most Respectfully,
R
