Now expect to be called a religious fundamentalist or a fascist or be unbelieved like Hindus were (and are) when you point out this religious cleansing by Muslims. The only suffering that matter are that of Muslims even if they are the ones doing the religious cleansing, because what matters is identity politics and not universal human rights. Identity politics = Muslims are always the victims and all acts are seen through this lens. If a Muslim kills then the one killed must have been oppressing him somehow. If Muslims religiously cleanse the land of non-Muslims it is not worth speaking about. Only in Muslim lands do minority lives not matter at all to the 4th estate, and those who profess to value universal human rights.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-90049670692874636522011-02-25T05:55:43.682-05:002011-02-25T05:55:43.682-05:00My view from Israel: Israel needs [ and most of it...My view from Israel: Israel needs [ and most of it wants] to separate from the Pal's as soon as possible , but the Pal's don't want it.

The original Mandate for Palestine envisioned an Arab homeland on the east of the Jordan River and a Jewish homeland on the west side.<br /><br />The checkerboard pattern approved by the UN was ridiculous, but I guess Israel was just grateful for a state and accepted what was offered it. Those would be today's borders if the Arabs would have peacefully accepted it. The Arabs rejected peace for war, and they lost land.<br /><br />The 1967 War was over 40 years ago now. No one is asking Europe to restore Germany to pre-WWI borders, or the US to return land to Mexico. It's time for Israel to make their own unilateral declaration that all lands west of the Jordan River are permanently annexed to the nation of Israel, including Gaza.<br /><br />So, what do we do with the Arab populations? I certainly wouldn't make them citizens. If you want to keep them, they can be heavily regulated foreign guest residents with terms of residency conditioned on good civil behavior. Anyone who commits the slightest civil infraction loses guest residency and is deported. If you want to go hardcore, there is historical precedent with Germans who found themselves living outside of Germany when borders were redrawn being relocated to West Germany. Who was it who said, it's time for Jordan to give land for peace. Jordan is where Palestinian Arabs are supposed to be living anyway.<br /><br />Regarding the Muslim mindset, it is essential to read Ali Sina's book, Understanding Muhammad. This is a psychological biography which explains Muslim character attributes such as arrogance, haughtiness, and supremacy in terms of their emulation of Muhammad and the symptoms of his psychological disorders as revealed in the Koran, etc. Dr. Sina says that the more Muslims dig into the Koran, the more they enter Muhammad's psychological bubble universe and acquire the symptoms of his sickness.<br /><br />http://alisina.org/understanding-muhammad/<br /><br />I'm grateful for your work, and hope that you have enough ears in the right places for these ideas to percolate up to the powers that be.<br /><br />JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-85392975900663702142011-02-23T10:29:51.611-05:002011-02-23T10:29:51.611-05:00thank you smiththank you smithDaniel Greenfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13575285186581875356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-13632144584996803012011-02-23T10:27:08.878-05:002011-02-23T10:27:08.878-05:00every israeli leader has tried to run out the cloc...every israeli leader has tried to run out the clock, I don't think that has worked too well and it has made Israel's position worse year after year<br /><br />it will only get worse from here on inDaniel Greenfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13575285186581875356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-82602299349730626902011-02-23T10:26:16.425-05:002011-02-23T10:26:16.425-05:00Brilliant.

They don't actually need a Palestine, only to maintain the show that it's going to be created eventually.<br />In the current atmosphere, the best we can hope for is an Israeli government that draws time, without actually changing anything, but you are correct, Daniel, this is like a dam that can break at any point, and I can't say how long until that happens.<br /><br />Sharon's worst legacy was creating a rift between the settler population, and other Israelis. This division makes sure that even if a viable alternative leadership sprouts from one group, the second is going to treat it with suspicion.<br /><br />So, right now, only a war can unify the factions.HermitLionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955642756387705257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-41087599713335071182011-02-23T09:43:09.251-05:002011-02-23T09:43:09.251-05:00Israel though has the same problems as Europe.

Wrapping a turban around his head would be very insulting to Neo-Nazis, and I'm pretty sure that a skeleton would be a much better partner for a peace agreement than any of the terrorist leaders in the region.<br /><br />On a more serious note, my usual bravado about standing up like Jews, instead of licking boot as pawns, is useless, so I'll say the best thing for Israel right now is to not act at all, and hope that the winds would change direction: that the despicable actions of muslims around the globe would remove their mask of lies sooner than they'd be ready for an actual take-over.<br /><br />Since the barking dogs of the media and the EU would themselves be meat under the fangs of islam soon, their pressure should be withstood; their demands - ignored.HermitLionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955642756387705257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-84410175344312566912011-02-23T03:01:26.922-05:002011-02-23T03:01:26.922-05:00The present situation in the ME however chaotic it...The present situation in the ME however chaotic it looks, may be still seen as a devine intervention as it shows that the ever present islamic "anger", caused the islamic world to create a bubble of what I would want to describe as "inevitable self-destruction". This force finally reached such a proportion of negativity that, as is shown now, it makes their societies to implode. We do not know who shall emerge as the political power in the final outcome be but for the time being the wave of destruction is pointed inward and shall keep the tribal factions very bussy killing each other. If finally Islamism would emerge victorious at least the veil of acceptability that these previous regimes had in the eyes of the cowardly, morally debased western world's leaders vision shall be finally lost hopefully awaking them to the inevitability that we have to forcefully defend our freedom instead of have it nibbled away in dhimitude.mindRidernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-65854082971151254792011-02-23T01:59:45.225-05:002011-02-23T01:59:45.225-05:00Partitioning of India in 1947 into India and an Is...Partitioning of India in 1947 into India and an Islamic state (Indian land where political power lies in Muslim hands alone) did not bring peace. It lead to the religious cleansing of all non-Muslims Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Christians, Jews (yes there were Jews in the lands that went to create that "Land of the Pure" Pakistan) Hindus were 25%, now the number is in the single digits. This rapid religious cleansing happened after WW2 and the creation of the UN and Declaration of Human rights, and no one spoke up except Hindus but no one listen. That experiment of land for peace brought not only religious cleansing, but 3 wars started by Pakistan, and never ending state sponsored terrorism by Pakistan. And thanks to China the world has a nuclear Islamic state that is basically a failed state surviving on American jizya which they use to fund terrorism and build up their nuclear weapons. They now have more nukes than Britain. Before 9-11 the world thought Pakistan was just India's problem and did not head India's warnings. They were wrong. All land for peace with Muslims does is give them land on which to wage war for the rest of your land, all of the world's lands in Dar-ul-Harb.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
