		<description>&lt;b&gt;Hard Talk

Zionists occupiers… Heed my call&lt;/b&gt;

Like most people, I do believe in dialogue and civilized coexistence, like most people I long to live in dignity and freedom in my homeland, like most people I yearn for peace and justice for every human, like most people I like to foster loving and trusting relationships with all decent individuals; however, our problem with the Zionist occupiers is not about hate and distrust as they like to believe, it’s not about security as they constantly declare, nor is it about dialogue or lack of it thereof!

Our problem with them is not confined to the many aspects of their occupation, human right abuses, checkpoints, walls, collective punishment and assassinations.

The origin of our problem is as profound as a the roots of a fig tree, buried deep and covered up with piles of dishonesty and deceit, yet its fruits has the pungent taste of supremacy, arrogance, racism, dehumanization, theft, and war crimes, and no amount of fig tree leaves could conceal or beautify.

So, to unearth the core of the problem and spell the truth-out loud and clear, I am going to direct my words towards the Zionists of all shades and affiliations.
Furthermore, I am going to be to honest and blunt here; as the catastrophic situation that they have created does not stomach glossing over any longer

&lt;b&gt;zionist occupiers:&lt;/b&gt;

I must warn you; that what I am going to say is not going to be very pleasant, it will taste as bitter as the chilling years of your occupation, as cold as the barren roots of our uprooted olive trees, and as sour as the dry lips of dying babies at your military checkpoints.

My words will be parched, choking and hard to swallow; it will be as rigid and impervious as the cement of your apartheid wall

My words will smell of tear gas and burning flesh of infants while cuddled in their mothers’ arms after an air raid

My words will be burning hot like a bullet penetrating the head of a little boy as he picked a stone to throw at his oppressor

My words will be sizzling with blazing fire like the one ton bomb dropped from afar at a neighbourhood of sleeping women and children

My words will be gushing causing excruciating pain and discomfort because it stems from the depth of my wounded, distressed and agonised soul that was tormented by your people for the entirety of my existence.

&lt;b&gt;So zionist occupiers heed my words;&lt;/b&gt;

Our problem with you is not a “conflict” between two warring parties, who are similarly wrong and equally guilty as you shamelessly often describe… NO… NO… NO

The problem is one of aggression, oppression, colonization, theft, and occupation on your side, and one of being oppressed, exploited, and occupied on our side.

It’s one is of a crime of theft of a whole country and the ethnic cleansing of a whole nation by your people on the one hand and a displaced and dominated population on the other

It’s one of a CRIMINAL THIEF and a DISPOSSESSED VICTIM

To equate the two is nothing but an act of deception and a manifestation of moral bankruptcy.

A whole lot of your people came from ALL over the world, stole our homeland, dispossessed and expelled us, took over our homes and farms, destroyed our villages and history, occupied our country, oppressed those who stayed behind, killed and maimed who dared to demand their rights or attempted to assert their humanity, demonized and subjugated us to a racist, bigoted and ruthless set of laws that don’t apply to yourselves; then you come with chilling cold-heartedness and assert that both parties are equally guilty!!

Which planet are you living on?
By what principles do you abide?
What ethics do you follow?

Have you ever questioned the morality of your actions as multinationals who gave themselves the liberty to come to our homeland -which I am denied the right to live in- take it over by violence and bloodshed, then settle there on the ruins of the villages you’ve annihilated, dwelling in the homes of some dispossessed Palestinians, for no other justifications than the dominance of your Jewishness and the fact that we are not Jews?

Does that not smell of rotten racism, arrogance and supremacy to your clogged-up conscience?

The only crime that our people committed is that they existed on the land of their ancestors which you proclaimed as a God given-right to Jews only.

Your people have destroyed our culture, denied our existence as human beings, treated us for four generation with sheer cruelty, ruthlessness and contempt, and subjugated us to inconceivable savagery and humiliation, and denied us even the right to defend ourselves on our stolen Palestine under the pretext of “terrorism”

On top of all that your people have lied and lied, until they believed their own lies, you managed to brainwash yourselves with packs of cover-ups and masks of reality until truth became so blur and obscured, so much so that most of your people refuse even to acknowledge their own crimes of theft of a whole country and disposition of a whole nation

You stole the land of our ancestors and forefathers under the claim that some few thousands years back in history, some people who followed your religion have lived there, and apparently secured a contract with God affirming the eternal ownership of this land

How dare you give yourselves these abhorrent privileges of taking over someone’s home and homeland just because you belong to a particular faith?

What does an American Jew, a Russian Jew, an African Jew, a Japanese Jew, an Indian Jew or a German Jew has anything to do with the Land of Palestine?

If you think we are some kind of brainless retarded human beings who lack your “intelligence”, “emotions” and “morality” and who would just disregard what happened to them sixty years ago, and who would be happy to live as your inferiors in their own homeland; you better think again

We are sick and tired of witnessing your crimes for decades on end
We are sick and tired of your deception, false claims and the pretence of innocence and victim-hood
We are sick and tired of your orchestrated peace processes and leading-no-where road-maps

If you are truly searching for peace, then step down from the high ground that you placed yourselves on, and be prepared to GIVE UP ALL the privileges that you have bestowed upon yourselves by the “virtue” of your Jewishness!

Then and only then dialogue is possible

The basis of any dialogue is equity, justice, fair-play, freedom, and compatibility.
None of those is existing at the moment!
A restoration and establishment of those principles as pre-condition to any forthcoming dialogue is inevitable!

&lt;b&gt;zionists thieves&lt;/b&gt;

You don’t have many choices really, it’s one of two:

1) you either carry on with your crimes: lying, killing, stealing, abusing and oppressing an entire people, isolating themselves further, and sinking deeply into the abyss of immorality; then frantically searching for peace and security, which you will never be able to find as oppressors, aggressors and occupiers.

2) Or you take a good look in the mirror and see what monsters you have become, and admit the crimes they committed against innocent people who had nothing to do with the anti-Semitic crimes of Europe, but they have been made to pay the price of those crimes.

If you go for the first choice, you should blame no one but yourselves for a bleak, desolate, dire, and awful future that awaits you, a future in which you can no longer afford to keep living in constant fear and endless wars, a future where it&#039;s only enough for you to lose ONE single war, and it will be over then.

We can afford to lose many wars; there are millions and millions of Arabs and Muslims that surround the criminal Zionist entity. And you can’t afford to lose any war, but when you do (it’s inevitable) you lose everything.


Now, if you open their heart and mind to the second option; which is acknowledging the wrongs you’ve committed against us, and recognizing that you’ve been unfair and unjust by stealing our country and denying us our natural human rights.

Then if you start by trying to address and correct those wrongs, and giving us our rights back, the right to live peacefully and move freely with dignity without humiliation and oppression, and with our humanity respected as your equals not your inferiors, and if you give all our refugees the right to return to their villages and towns; then and only then; we’ll be able to say to you: “we will forgive you”.

We will NOT say as some do; “never forget, never forgive”

We will forgive you.
but not before you right the wrongs you&#039;ve committed

We have a culture that has hospitality and forgiveness at its heart.

you either make friends with your neighbours, and give them their due rights to get peace and security, or continue to create enemies by your incessant oppression until the inevitable falls upon you


&lt;b&gt;The choice is yours&lt;/b&gt;

		<description>Zionism, an International Evil

In the 20th and 21st centuries Zionism was and still is embodied mainly by the state of Israel. Its other embodiments are the Israel Lobby in America and its Congress and the countless Zionist organizations and individuals, as well as the Zionist machine and Israel supporters in Europe and other places.

Lots of wars and crimes have been committed because of Israel. They wouldn&#039;t have happened if the West hadn&#039;t created Israel and supported her for 60 years. Just imagine the world without Israel and its supporters.

1-Without Israel, there wouldn&#039;t have been the destruction and bloodshed resulting from the Israeli-Arab wars in 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973, 1982, the Invasion of Iraq in 2003, and 2006 war in Lebanon.

2-Without Israel, the crimes and atrocities of Al Qaeda in America, Iraq and Afghanistan wouldn&#039;t have been committed.

3-Without Israel, there wouldn&#039;t have been &quot;terrorist&quot; organizations and ruthless suicide bombing and killing.  

4-Without Israel, there wouldn&#039;t have been millions of Palestinian refugees all over the world and tens of miserable camps, as well 11000 thousand Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.

5-Without Israel, there wouldn&#039;t have been separation apartheid walls, countless check points in Palestine, daily humiliation of Palestinians and expropriation of their land, and the heart-breaking sights of demolishing their homes and cutting down their trees by alien occupiers.

6-Without Israel, thousands of billion dollars wouldn&#039;t have been spent on wars, weapons, armies and security. They could have been spent on education, development, health care, and feeding millions of starving human beings. 

7-Without Israel, there will be peace in the Middle East and in many other parts of our miserable globe.

The creation and constant blind support of Israel cannot be counted as an achievement at all. It is illogical, fallacious, unjust, and inhumane.

		<description>To superbad - Can you name some occupied community which got their land back with non-violence?

This piece of advice was given to the leaders of World Zionist Federation by no other than Mahtama Gandhi - advising the European Jewry not to leave their homelands - but carry out large non-violent protest rallies against Nazi-regime. But instead of listening to Gandhi - the Zionist Jew thugs carried out a wave of terrorism in British mandated Palestine - and occupied 88% of its land by shear of military force.</description>

		<description>This is one one the best papers I&#039;ve read for years.

As Mary Rizzo so rightly writes,  The ONLY way to PEACE is through JUSTICE. I would add that the only way to justice (what is justice?) is through RESPECT of the absolute DIGNITY of all human beings. 

Jewish immigrants in Palestine can expect a decent welcome from the  legitimate owners of the land, who are of course the Palestinians. They have absolutely no right to claim its ownership, no matter what they pretend one religious book or another might say. It&#039;s up to them to find a way to be accepted by the Palestinians, not the other way round. 

And as Palestinians, like most Arabs, are basically hospitable and friendly people, that should&#039;nt be too difficult, if they give it an honest try.  There are indeed a heap of acceptable ways in which a decent arrangement can be achieved, if only Zionists forget about  their usual double language and little tricks.

If they can&#039;t find one, they&#039;ve still got a solution, which is to get out. 

In the meantime, Palestinians have every right to resist the theft of their homeland, peacefully or not. 

And  we westerners ought to be deeply ashamed to take side, not with the victims, but with the invaders.</description>

<p>And  we westerners ought to be deeply ashamed to take side, not with the victims, but with the invaders.</p>
