Memo to Daniel: They had a state in 1948 and they rejected it!

Submitted by Greg (United States), Mar 31, 2006 at 23:02

Palestinians HAVE their own state -- it is called Jordan, and it was taken from the Jewish Homeland promised to them.

What Palestinians call "their land" belonged to Israel 2,000 years ago.

There has never been a country called Palestine and Palestinian Arabs are no different than any other Arabs. Israel's name was changed to Palestina by the Romans in 66 AD.

Palestinians were offered a second state in 1948, and they rejected it.

They were offered a second state in 2000, and they rejected it.

They will always reject another state because that is not what they want. They want what does not belong to them. They want ALL of the land from the Jordan River to the Medeterranian, and they want the land to be free of Jews.

That is why they and all of the other Arab countries embarked upon a war of extermination in 1948. That's spelled E-X-T-E-R-M-I-N-A-T-I-O-N as in a second Holocaust.

And THAT is barbaric.

They teach their children as young as five years old to hate Jews and to dream about becoming homicidal murderers when they become teenagers.

And THAT is barbaric.

They show their children videos of other homicidal murderers who say "there is nothing better than drinking the blood of Jews."

And THAT is barbaric.

The only thing "barbaric" about Israel is when they give up their land to real barbarians in exchange for nothing.
