    Ass to mouth actually has its origins in the stars! Extra terestrials visited earth thousands of years ago in ella valley now known as israel, they passed their teachings on to the Jewish people who have practiced it ever since.. They would go ass to mouth on their wifes for hours on end only stopping to feed. They later travelled to asia and introduced this to the ancient chinese who now also love ass to mouth..

    It is historically inaccurate to call the Palestinians Arabs as they were mainly Arabised only.

    As for peace, the Israelis (Jewish invaders and occupiers of Palestine) contrary to what they would have us believe have always had peace. The level of protection afforded to them by state of the art western made weapons and now the medieval style fortress wall is unparalleled anywhere in the world. The same cannot be said of life as a Palestinian who live a life of torment and victimization.

  3.   gazawee Says:

    As for the Palestinians, the overwhelming majority are indigenous to Palestine going right back to the lands earliest settled period (Canaan). As with any countries invaders, a degree of settlement and assimilation with the indigenous populations would have taken place, and in case, Palestine was no different. It is more accurate to say that the Palestinians are indigenous but have mixed in varying degrees with those that have come to occupy their land.

  4.   gazawee Says:

    My brother, 95% of Jews in Palestine today are 1st or 2nd generation migrants from Europe, America (Ashkenazi) and the Maghreb..so the overwhelming majority of Jews are NOT Levantine. “Many” Palestinians were not Jews that stayed hidden. The majority of Jews were wiped out or sent into exile and those very few that remained, would have converted to Christianity and subsequently Islam.

    mthw25,

    Apparently your not a student of history. It has been proven by Israeli Jewish pro Zionist historians that most Palestinians were forcibly removed from there home. A systematic plan of ethnic cleansing was conducted on the orders of ben gurion.

  7.   mthw25 Says:

    When will the Arabs finally recognize the fact that they created the Nakba? When they told all the Arabs to leave, then come back after they had driven the Jews into the sea. But then the propoganda machine would be broken

  8.   AslanMikarov Says:

    Palestianian are like Bosnians in the middle east.

    Bosniak people was christian, but latter the converted to the Islam. Many Palestinian were Jews who stayed hiddenred of Roman Empire, latter converted to the Islam.

    So not all Jews are Levantine People, and not all Palestinians were origin, but at least half of them have very similar genetics.

    So when Israeli and Palestinian people stay in Peace, the world will stay peace, and new era will born.

    If you Palestinians were working at least half as much as you hate and make bombs would not have to live in such filth and poverty. Ever thought why Palestinian = terrorist became a synonym?

    Like I said–May 14, 1948 is Prophecy fulfilled and nothing–NOTHING
    even with the imperfections of the Israeli Govt. and the many wars the Arabs lost again and agiain can prevent the word of
    GOD from happening-
    May 14 was one of many prophecies
    and Hamas and Hezbollah ( Hez bully)
    with their terrorists tactics can stop it
    NOTHING
    not a “secular” Israeli-
    Not a Religous
    nothing
    YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER WHAT GOD HAS SAID WILL HAPPEN WITH ALL PROPE\HECY INCLUDING ISRAEL!!

    Izreal is for now
    Palestine Is FOREVER

    End ZIonist attrocities n Injustices
    Long live HaMAS N HISBOLLAH

    those leaving had planned to come back
    after the “JEWS were driven into the sea”
    that “plan” did not work and backfired
    and Israel lives-
    Arabs are welcome as citizens of the State of Israel–
    and they are welcome to go back to the land of their origin
    (Syria, Jordan etc.)
    That said, I do not –contrary to what you think —
    I do not hate Arabs-
    Israel came back to the land of their origin
    because it is PROPHECY
    Cannanites were driven out from the land promised
    GOD’S word -not void

  17.   hawkandpanther Says:

    Zion was reborn in a DAY
    –and it prophecy fulfilled
    what you call “nakba” or “disaster”
    is a PROPHECY fulfilled
    the ingathering
    has happened and it continues
    “I will bring them back from the four corners of the Earth and settle them in there own land and they will build cities upon the shores and the desert will bloom like a rose”
    GOD’s WORD is NOT VOID
    BLESS ISRAEL AND BE BLESSED
    CURSE ISRAEL AND B E CURSED
    it is not politically correct
    but it is the TRUTH!!
    May 14, 48 Prophecy!

    As for Hamas wanting to reclaim all of Historic Palestine, I believe this is a fantasy–and Hamas has already begun recognizing it. Their leadership has made several statements signaling that they are prepared to negotiate based on the two-state settlement.

    I personally favor a one-state solution–call it Israel, Palestine, or the Holy Land Republic for all I care, as long as citizenship and equal rights are granted to the millions of Palestinians under military occupation since 1967.

  19.   amiralmumineen Says:

    I would agree that Hamas is an odious group, and certainly unpalatable. You must remember, however, that they were in part created, and certainly encouraged, by Israel in their nascency (as a counterbalance to the PLO).

    Immigrant Jewish communities came from “modern,” industrial societies and were highly organized nationalists. At the time, Palestinians had a very weak national identity, and were largely farmers and landless peasants. I would say this gave the Zionists a certain advantage.

  20.   miron14 Says:

    There new policy, and the policy of Hamas is to fight Israel until we give them everything

    Zionist jews in Israel hadnt the power of empire to boyycot arabs as you say.Mybe the British acted wrongly twords arabs,but jews couldnt do that with thier limited power.

  21.   amiralmumineen Says:

    “….arab radicals and arab nationalists(PLO …) are racist as well.”

    The official policy of the PLO prior to the 1980s–when they capitulated and accepted the (inherently racist) “two-state solution” of the West–was a single state, with freedom and equality for all its citizens (including Jews). This does not sound very racist to me.

    What you call “boycotts” and European colonialism/land appropriation are very different things. The boycott was merely a component.

  22.   miron14 Says:

    Mybe I am racist (I am zionist) ,yet arab radicals and arab nationalists(PLO …) are racist as well.

    And if Pogroms are the arab answer for “boycotts” are other action which any free man can do,than you are real evil.

  23.   amiralmumineen Says:

    No pogroms before Zionism.

    No pogroms before the British allowed immigrant Jewish communities to purchase land from absentee landlords in Lebanon, Syria and elsewhere; no pogroms before those communities boycotted Arab goods, refused to employ Arabs or sell them land. In short, no pogroms before European Jews began colonizing Palestine (and that violence was reciprocated).

    I am offering no justifications; just contextualization. The violence was not based on racism. However, Zionism is.

    israel is for now
    Palestine is Forever!
    END THE ISRAELI OCCUPATION
    FREE PALESTINE
