Hey guys, let not jump into conclusion over what happen before
we get the full fact. It may be an accident of a sort, or even if
it is true, every society has it's miscrean, pychopath. Let not
make it an issue that black & white, who is oppressing who. By
elevating a pure isolated incident into a general phenomenon is
both irresponsible & counter-productive. It perpetuate the hate
& doesn't contribute to it's resolution.
Heng, not offense intended, don't take the media at their word
especially the western media. If you look objectively they are
particularly one-sided in their reportage over the
Israeli/Palestinian issues. Get the fact yourself, get into books,
go into the history of this conflict, go & read up the account
even from the Israelis' perspective, process it yourself, you may
discover a rather different perspective. There are many well
meaning, genuine people who weren't quite informed, taken in by the
mass media. A good place to start is to get a copy of Leon Uris's
novel "Exodus". T's a well researched book that is based on
historical event. It will give you a good idea of how this
Israeli/Palestinian mess got started.
One cannot with a good conscience say the Israeli wanting to
disenfranchise & suppress the Palestinians. As recent as 2000,
Clinton tried to broker a peace between them. the Palestinians got
the best deal ever. Israel agreed to ALL THEIR DEMANDS except for
one in exchange for peace, yet Arafat walk away from the
negotiating table, to the perplexion & shock of Clinton &
the world. That one demand that Israel couldn't agree is the ceding
of Jerusalem to the Palestinian. They have proposed to make it an
international city under joint custody of Israel & Palestinian
authority, but it was rejected by Arafat & the Palestinian
people. Instead Arafat stirred up the peoples's sentiment stirred
up the intifada to pressurise Israel into concession. He open up
the Pandora Box & couldn't close it since. Young people &
children are stirred & used against Israel, & they died
doing. That's where the dying & suicide bombing comes about.
Peace has been offered up to them in a silver platter & Arafat
on behalf of the Palestinians send it smashing to the ground, yet
now the Mass Media is blaming Israel for a deal that the
Palestinian didn't hold. They shot themselves in the foot.
Incidently this is the 3rd time they did it to themselves. The
first time, they did not accept the UN mandate whereas Israel did
in 1947. The second is they leave their home in respond to the Arab
nations' calling, to make way for the Arab army to make a clean
slaughter of the new Jewish nation, pushing them out into the sea
in 1948, so that they can come back & profit from their Jewish
neighbour. The Arab nations lost & continue to lose in 1958,
1967, 1972, each time being the aggressor, they lost their end of
the deal. 50 year is a long time, they could have stood up &
improve on their condition, their amenities yet they chose to
linger in self victimizing. The surrounding Arab nations who called
them out in the first place could have settled them or at least
provide better facilities even in a camp situation, yet they
withhold, to keep the Palestinian issue alive. The world had since
given a lot of money for them to improve themselves, yet PLO, the
Fatah, Hamas, pocketed for them own agenda, while the people they
purport to fight for languish in the camp, never to see the money
that is supposed to be for their betterment. There is no good
reason for them to see a peaceful stable Palestinian nation, that
means their funding will stop, at least stop going to themselves,
instead of getting easy money, thay have to spend money now on the
people & the people will realise wat a bunch of losers they
are.
