Thought you could use a little history lesson.
In 1967 after Israel was surrounded by five Arab armies threatening to destroy her, she launched a preemptive strike to defend herself. Immediately following the war Israel offered to return all the land
captured (except East Jerusalem) in exchange for peace.

The Arab League convened in Khartoum, Sudan and came up with the following response on September 1st, 1967. "No Peace, No Negotiations, No Israel." It was at this point when the world decided that the Palestinians began their struggle. But why don't you ask yourself why Egypt and Jordan did not offer the Palestinians a state before the 1967 War? They had occupied the same lands that Israel does now.

Let's skip to 1993 in which by that time Israel has fought three more wars of survival. The Oslo Accords gave Arafat and his people autonomy. Ask yourself the following: What did Arafat do with all the billions of dollars he received since 1993? Why are there still refugee camps, instead of prospering Palestinian cities? The reason...all the money given to the PA has been used to buy weapons and to pay Arafat's salary.

1999- After six years of promises by the PA to stop the terror at which they had failed to do, Israel still offers Arafat 98% of the West Bank and some autonomy in East Jerusalem. Did Arafat accept this offer in exchange for peace? NO!!!

Israel is not perfect, and we have made mistakes. But I cannot allow you to publish such hate without making sure you know the truth. What is the truth? Israel is a peace loving nation, that has known war and death for
over 2000 years. Only in this century we have lost 6 million of our people.

Ask yourself, why would a nation that has suffered for so long want to cause suffering to others and to continue to fight on and on. We have made
peace offers to the Palestinians and the Arabs since the start of the conflict and we have always received negative responses. I suggest that you take responsibility and know the facts before you
publish such garbage.

I recommend that you read a book called Myths and Facts: A Guide to the Arab Israeli Conflicts by Mitchell G. Bard. You might learn something, and you might stop being so ignorant. What you say is legitimate. It is easy to make a suicide bomber, but do not make
them into brave Palestinians. They are ignorant and brainwashed and all they do is murder innocent people. The suicide bombers should be directing
their anger not at Israel but at Arafat and his government.

All this time could have been used to improve living conditions, education and the economy of the Palestinians, instead of making murderers of young
Palestinians. Palestinians could have had their independence long ago, if they wanted peace. But they don't: Former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir said that "there will be peace when the Arabs love their children more than they hate the Jews."

As of now, Arabs hate the Jews and that is the only reason they will not make peace. They want to see us destroyed. Value life not death. All the historical facts that have been mentioned here can be easily verified. I would be more than happy to provide verification to you if you desire.

Stop publishing hate, and use your talent to publish peace.

Nine paragraphs of Jew Zionist lies. No Jew, let alone rational knowledgeable world citizens believe your pathetic attempts to pervert the truth. The "history" you posted is the crap put out by the Zionist of yesteryear, Golda Meir being one of the biggest bull shit artist. No sensible historian continues to try and foist these absurd distortions and lies on anyone today. This garbage is just Zionist propaganda.

You can lie all you want to yourself, and to other Zionist, but you cannot change the known facts about Israel's proven record of aggression, avarice, and genocide against all of its neighbors in the Middle East. It was a tragic mistake when the UN created the State of Israel. The UN, has since 1949 recognized their great error, and now the entire world also knows there can be no safety from Jewish greed murder or economic exploitation until Israel is totally defanged.

Perhaps there is a place for Jews (not Zionist) to remain in the Middle East under Arab hegemony. The Jews faired quite well for thousands of years under Arab rule in the Middle East, and Jews were allowed to prosper and actually run the government in Moorish Spain.

Perhaps you should more concerned about YOUR place in the United States, rather than writing gibberish trying to rehabilitate Israel's self imposed rogue state image. As Americans increasingly discover how Jewish Americans seek to destroy the United States, use U.S. economic and military power to start Jew instigated wars with Israel’s many enemies, all to accommodate the insatiable greed of Israel and the Jew itself, Americans are have awoken to the danger of not just Israel, but world Jewry itself.

Remember the Palmer Raids of 1920 when the U.S. Attorney General, arrested 6,000 Jew Communist in the United States and dumped them all on ships for one way tickets back to Russia? The Palmer Raids are one of the prime reasons the Russian Communist Golda Meir left Wisconsin to preside over Israel’s rape of UN mandated Palestine. That domestic adventure of ridding the U.S. of troublesome dangerous Jews will seem like a country picnic for what will come to be if U. S. Jews don't stop trying to destroy the U.S., and the world for that shitty little rogue state of Israel, and start to become loyal Americans.

Europeans and Americans alike are well aware that the majority of Israelis fully intend to flood into Europe and the United States once Israel collapses. Unless Jews genuinely assimilate into their host country this time, this will not be allowed to happen. Jews have been thrown out of every major city and country in most of the civilized world in the last 3,000 years. And they have been expelled from most nations several times. I’d say it was high time for Jews to wake up and understand that they have run out of nations willing to offer them sanctuary. Although the United States contains the largest Jew population in the world, Jews do not comprise sufficient numbers in the U.S. to guarantee they will always be able to stay in the United States if they do not stop agitating for a foreign power. Stop being a Jew and start being an American citizen. Most all other citizens of the U.S. melting pot are Americans first and support America first, and not their country of origin. Why can’t Jews do that, and not support Israel first?

Dan Rozett, it is unbelievable to me that you might actually think that what you say is the justification for Israel's occupation of Palestine. Let's start from the start of the conflict, shall we? It all started when Zionist Jews in Europe decided that they wanted a land they could call their own so their people wouldn't be subjected to the constant discrimination they were faced with. They were tired of being "homeless", so to speak. Fine, nothing wrong with that.

Britain offered the Zionists some land in Africa but they refused. They wanted Palestine as they believed that was their "promised" land by God himself. Wow, how can you argue with that?! The Almighty God (or G-d) had given his "chosen" people that particular piece of land. Personally, I wouldn't have any problem arguing with such a ridiculous claim. Anyway, most Jews of the day opposed the Zionist mentality, including guys like Albert Einstein, but they persisted in their extreme far-right delusion. And so they slowly, little by little, started occupying the Palestinian land with some British support and "a plow on one hand and a rifle on the other", to quote a Zionist saying. The locals realized that what these Jews wanted was not just to share the land but to take it! And they also realized that if they didn't do anything about it they would eventually come in droves (and they did). This all started around the turn of the century, little by little. The pace kept going and soon there were constant battles being waged. Let's not forget at this point who the invaders were: the Zionist Jews.

WWII finally gave them the excuse they wanted for so long. With the politically-inspired support of the US, along with the war's victors Britain and Russia, the Zionist got what they were dreaming of: diplomatic, financial and millitary support for the invasion of Palestine. A mass exodus of Palestinians was under way. Their houses destroyed and their land taken by force. The Arabs, those that actually made up the people of the land and their neighbors, were never asked if that was ok with them. They didn't matter!

Then the Arabs and the Palestinians tried to take their stolen land back but they were no match for the arms the US had facilitated to Israel. The intention being that Israel would stay to secure US interests in the region.

It is no secret that the Jewish community is very powerful in the US and has a lot of influence over US foreign policy in the Middle East. The average American Jew is probably more "Zionist" that the average Israeli Jew due to the arrogant character of American society as a whole. With the US and Russia supporting the creation of Israel, nobody could argue.

So, since the very existence of Israel is questionable in many ways and the constant building of "settlements" n occupied territories (colonies, I prefer) is definitely illegal in all respects, I have real trouble believen in all the nonsense you mention. You seem to conveniently forget you shouldn't be there in the first place. Oh, how you wish those pesky Arabs would leave quitely as the American Indian has done so in America. I'm sorry but this tragedy must never be repeated again.

Lucky that Dan Rozett doesn't have an obvious Jewish last name or Latuff would have sicked his Jew-hating dogs on him by now, like he did that Cohen guy.
