Palestine

The Daily Telegraph have a comment piece by a member of an organisation long known for supporting violence above all other means of making its point, the PLO. Dr Nabeel Shaath represents the PLO and Fatah, another group keen on terror as a weapon and apparently was a 'Palestinian' foreign minister. The piece she has written is an extremely poorly constructed example of propaganda.

In it, she claims that in 1917 Britain, an imperial, colonial power, to use as many 'pejoratives' as she can, forced a settlement on an area owned by the Palestinians. What isn't clear is that she invented these people. They could be the fairies in your garden. Throughout history, no country has existed called Palestine. Sure, it was a name for an area, but not a people.

It must annoy her, as she insists that her people should be allowed, by UN mandate I guess, to murder Jews as and when they see fit, that a land of Israel did and does once again exist. It must be truly sad to find yourself 'led' by psychopaths for whom killing is entertainment and whose long suffering people come to see it as an inevitable part of their lives, as the IRA did to generations in Northern Ireland. Those now saddled with the title Palestinian are so accursed.

But such is the fate of a Left supported drive to create violence in the Middle East. By allowing miscreants to push guilt afflicted politicians of weak morals, to support the establishment of Palestine, they merely created institutionalised violence, guaranteed to be unending.

Let's be in no doubt; the establishment of Israel in 1948 was also a guilt-ridden result of Nazi barbarism in WW2. It solved one problem and salved consciences, but it created more problems as well. The Muslims in the area don't get a good deal, but this is mainly the fault of Dr. Shaath and her friends. No Palestinian could offer an olive branch to Israel and seek peace solutions to their differences; Hamas and Fatah exist to kill their own dissenters as much as Jews.

You might want to ask Dr. Shaath why 'her people' so frequently fire missiles into Israel and then, why they site the missiles in residential areas. The answers are simple and cruel. They want to keep the violence going and they want Israel to strike back and kill civilians. The more the better; it allows their Left liberal friends in the West to wail and whine incessantly. It isn't balance to allow people like her to spout propaganda, it is wrong and it is always wrong.
