The Anti Israel

Submitted by Jay1 (United States), Jun 22, 2011 at 23:28

For the reasons Dr Pipes listed between his two Israel purchased articles, one has enough for a big noble history book. "Remarkable Israel" as Dr Pipes wrote in a prior piece, has been through alot. Made up of a group of people called Europeans in Arabia and Semites in Europe, Israel has been mistreated and falsely accused because simply- they are Jewish. That Israel was in the birthing room of one major religion seems absent in the corridors of western thought. That Hebrew is not a deriviaive of Polish or Russian seems absent from the corridors of the east. As the Palestinians perpare to declare statehood, I sense Dr Pipes, in his own concerned way, is putting his well wishing arm around the Jewish state. So should the shallow thinking, unreasonable Palesinians. For if not for Israel, the Galilee would be part of Syria, Judea,Samaria and the coast a part of Jordan, and the Negev a part of Egypt. I wish not to demean the Palestinian people. Really I dont. But if historical truth is really what they want, respectfully, their paper thin history book should be called the Anti Israel.
