Although this article really belongs
into the category of the Newsletters, I place it here into the articles
to avoid, a) being too redundant; and b) because it contains teaching.
The article was my reply to an essay on Palestinian "history" written by
a Nigel Parry in the "history"
category of Menlo's Sun Server.
He apparently was a contributing writer on the "Electronic
Intifada" as well at the time. His Palestinian version of "truth"
demanded a reply, even though there are countless "Nigel Parry's" who have
been brainwashed and indoctrinated into believing falsehood to be the truth,
and the truth falsehood. Of course, the belief that every ill in this world
and every injustice is the Jews' fault aids in accepting the Palestinian
Arabs' lies propagated for almost 6 decades as truth. Nigel seems to be
a photographer who has dedicated his art to serve the Palestinian "cause"
against Israel, the Jewish "Zionist villain."

Dear Nigel Parry,
(assuming this is your work?), reading your pages
wants me to make a strong suggestion to you: before writing comes diligent
and correct research. Honest writing and reporting is the obligation of
any writer of integrity, regardless of political standing. To write that
the "Zionist movement" took over the "State
of Palestine" is such a gross lack of accurate history that no one
with some basic knowledge of these things will take you serious.
There has never been, at any time in history,
a Palestinian "state," as there have never been a sovereign people by the
name of "Palestinians".
The only "sovereign" people that ever lived in that land before and then
besides the Israelites were the Canaanite nations and the Philistines.
The Philistines
derived their name from the word "plishtim," which means "invaders",
because this people came originally from the island of "Caphtor"
(today's Crete) and had been known as "Caphtorim",
but also as Casluhim, descendants
of Egypt, son of Ham, son of Noah. No one knows exactly why the Caphtorim
left their island, but geological and archeological evidence suggests that
there had been a violent and tremendous volcanic eruption, followed by
a blow up and resulting tidal wave of a neighboring island that might have
precipitated the evacuation of CaphtorThere
are various opinions and interpretations extant, the one held prominently
as well is that these Plishtim lived somewhere near Egypt, on the mainland,
and are not sea people who came from the island of Caphtor1.
The Caphtorim fell upon the people known as "Avvim"
at Canaan's coastal strip, destroyed them and settled in their stead. The
peoples of that region therefore called the invaders from Caphtor exactly
that --- "invaders/plishtim/philistines."
The Philistines lived in the area of Ashdod, Ashkalon
and Gaza and toward Beer-Sheva1. They NEVER at any time lived in Jerusalem,
Bethlehem, Shechem, Ramallah, etc. The Land was divinely covenanted by
an oath of the Almighty to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
and NOT Ishmael nor Esau. But even if we leave the religious side out of
it, there still has never been a sovereign state by the name of Palestine.
The only sovereignty there has been by the people of Israel. 1) when Israel
conquered Canaan under the leadership of Joshua, until the Babylonian captivity;
2) after the Babylonian captivity; 3) since 1948 it is a third time the
only sovereign state on this land.
Neither the Romans, nor the Crusaders, nor the
Caliphs, nor the Turks ever created a sovereign state on the conquered
area. None of the Caliphs ever lived in Jerusalem, but only in Damascus,
Baghdad and Cairo. It never was a "sovereign Muslim state," as you claim.
Peoples have come and gone in this land, but NONE of them were a sovereign
entity on that piece of land G-d calls HIS OWN2.
When the Romans destroyed Jerusalem in 70 A.D.
and scattered the Jewish population throughout the Roman Empire, it were
the ROMANS who renamed the conquered land "Palestina," purposefully attempting
to eradicate all memory of sovereignty and nationalism in the defeated
Jews. Jews, contrary to your account, did not attempt to create a new Jewish
State until in the nineteenhundreds because of the many ultra-violent Russian
pogroms. It was because of ceaseless anti-Semitism that the Jews sought
to return to their homeland to create a place where they could finally
live in peace. However, there has always been throughout the 2000 years
lasting exile of the Jews a small Jewish presence in the "Holy Land," in
mainly the 3 "holy" cities of the Jews: Jerusalem, Hebron and Safed3.
When the Ottoman Empire fell which had ruled over
that area for 500 years, the whole area was made British Mandate by the
League of Nations in 1929. The Arabs who had and still lived in that area
were Syrian Arabs of the former Greater Syria, and identified themselves
as Syrians, deeply resenting to be referred to as "Palestinians" by the
League of Nations (the Arabic Palestinians speak is still Syrian Arabic).
Britain
then excised Iraq from the Mandate and set up a puppet king, Prince
Faisal, the charismatic son of Hussein, the Sharif of Mecca4.
They also excised what they called then Trans-Jordan and made Abdullah,
grandfather of king Hussein of Jordan, king. The correspondence between
king Abdullah and Dr. Weizmann are public knowledge. The peace loving Abdullah
was murdered by some Arab fanatics when he attended a service at the Al-Aqsa
Mosque5.
The partition plan for two States, one Jewish
one "Palestinian" was rejected by the Arabs. They wanted all or nothing,
such as is still the case until this day. The world has learned nothing
whatsoever from the Nazi Holocaust and is once more ready to annihilate
a whole people and build a Palestinian state on their corpses. A state
founded on innocent blood shed will NEVER survive!
The Israelis have from the beginning wanted to
live in peace with the Arabs renamed "Palestinians," whose leaders however
had no such intentions. Arafat and his gang of lawless men have invented
a whole new history that never existed, and you, dear Nigel Parry, have
apparently swallowed that story hook, line and sinker.
If you want to be believed as a trustworthy source
of information you better learn a thing or two about responsible writing.
Any educated person with an objective mind will not read any further after
having read the first lines of pure nonsense. Of course, you can always
try to influence the ignorant, there are plenty enough of them around.
And folks like CNN and BBC will swallow any lie the Palestinian leadership
dishes out. They have been so in love with this terror organization, supporting
and praising it, that terror has now blossomed and bloomed throughout the
world, spreading like gangrene. The nations who have allowed and furthered
this disaster will one day themselves suffer the consequences.
Nigel, as long as "Palestinians" subscribe to
and believe the lies their leadership has invented, there will never be
a rapprochement between them and Israel. Yasser Arafat and his gang don't
care one least bit for their people, feeding them into HIS "intifada" with
no regard for life whatsoever. The average Palestinian families suffer
NOT because of Israeli "oppression" but because of the PLO's relentless
hatred, terror and ruthlessness. Arafat and his men live in luxury while
the people live in misery. He spent money on building a casino and an airport
(how important in priority was THAT???) but neglected to create an infrastructure
in which his people can make a good living and have a future.
I dearly wish you and people like you weren't
so blinded by your hatred of Israelis, of the Jews, and you wouldn't mindlessly
believe all those lies, when history can be clearly checked out. Of course,
just as the Germans try to silence history regarding their atrocities during
the Nazi era not only against Jews, but also against Gypsies and other
minorities, so the British try to silence their own crimes and breaches
of covenants. But you, Nigel, are young and I assume, intelligent, and
you still have a chance to help the Palestinian people by clinging to and
writing the TRUTH, and not the lying propaganda of terrorists!
If you are the creator of the "Electronic Intifada,"
I pray it will blow up soon. I can't stand lopsided writing and reporting.
We already know that CNN and BBC and RAI have abandoned honest reporting
and decent journalism because of a definite lack of integrity. It is integrity
and honesty that might gain you a readership. What you are doing is only
propagating more lies. What a pity! You render the Palestinians no service
with this in the final analysis, even if at present you are persuaded that
this is precisely what you are doing.
May you awaken to the truth and embrace it with
integrity.
Sincerely,
Annelore
