"Palestinian" Territory, Occupied?

Two things wrong with that claim: (1) There is no longer such a thing as "Palestinian," and (2) the "illegal occupiers" of the "territories"--Judea (Yehuda)*, Samaria (Shomron)**, and Gaza (Asa)***--are Moslem Arabs, not Israeli Jews.

To repeat in slightly other words: The illegal "occupiers" of the "territories"--Judea, Samaria, and Gaza--are Moslem Arabs, not Jews.

"Palestine" (Palaestina) was a name given to Judea (Yehuda) by the Romans to humiliate the Jews (Judeans, Yehudim) by calling their depopulated land by the name of their ancient enemy, the Philistines (pleshti). ****

The Moslem Arabs who today claim the name of "Palestinians" were created by the despicable Egyptian sodomist Arafat. As has been stated since times immemorial, the people first called "Palestinians" were the Jews that had remained and returned to the Turkish-ruled "Palestine" and the British-ruled Mandate of "Palestine."

The Moslem-Arabs that were the remnants of the Moslem-Arab invasion of Byzantine Greek-held Judea, Samaria, and Gaza, were simply referred to as "Arabs." That is what they were not descendants of ancient pleshti (non-semitic "sea people" thought to have come to the area from the Greek archipelago).

Of course this population contains arabized, moslemized people of different strains that at the time of the "Palestine" Mandate considered themselves to be Arabs and Moslems (yes, with Christian Arabs amongst them--some of them more Arab than Christian, others as Jew-hating as the Moslem Arabs, and some aware of their status as "subhuman" (dhimmis) under Moslem rule who realized that the Jews did not relegate them to that inferior status.)

Now, as far as the territory that was intended for Jews and a Jewish homeland by the League of Nations Mandate--which is now occupied by Arab late-comers and interlopers--the land that includes Judea, Samaria, and the given-over-to-the-savages Gaza, it was to have been part of that Jewish homeland--the Jewish State of Israel (a Jewish State, where only Jews should have been granted citizenship, with residence allowed for non-Jews that held no ill-will towards Jews, and expulsion of Jew-haters of any stripe--a country for Jews to seek refuge from a mostly Jew-hating world.)

These territories "occupied" now by Moslem Arabs include Judea, Samaria and the lately "Moslem-Arab occupied" Gaza. No matter what Roman Latin and Moslem-Arab names given to Judea, Samaria, and Gaza, these are the ancient lands of the Jews.

The sniveling, shedding-tears-for-murderous-and-murdering-Arab-Moslems representatives of the nations--be they from Scandinavia, Italy, or Islamic-Turkey--the TIPH (Temporary International Presence in Hebron), have replaced the Arab-against-Jews-supporting unlamented British of the Mandate, except that they go about armed with anti-Israel propaganda weapons instead of immediately lethal arms and laws, and the Jew-crushing former occupiers of the ancient lands of the Jews, the Turks, Byzantines, Arab-Moslems from Arabia, and Romans.

* Judea - 1. Roman name of the ancient kingdom of the Jews, Yehuda (Judah).
2. The area that roughly corresponds to a part of that kingdom, part of which is in the southern part of the West Bank of the Jordan, including Hebron and Jericho.
In Herod's time, the Kingdom of Judea encompassed all of the area of Jewish sovereignty, including Gaza.
Major or well known towns of the Judea district in ancient times included Jerusalem, Betar, Hebron, Jericho, Tekoa and Bethlehem.
Geographically, the Judea region includes these region: the Hebron hills, the Jerusalem saddle, the Bethel hills and the Judean desert east of Jerusalem. This last is southeast of Jerusalem and reaches the Dead Sea. In ancient times the Judean hills around Jerusalem were forested. The Bible records agriculture and sheep farming being practiced in the area. Animals are still grazed today, with shepherds moving them between the low ground to the hilltops (which have more rainfall) as summer approaches. Roman and Byzantine agricultural terraces are clearly visible in the Judean hills approaching Jerusalem.

The name Jew derives from Yehuda (Judah)

"Israel is the very embodiment of Jewish continuity: It is the only nation on earth that inhabits the same land, bears the same name, speaks the same language, and worships the same God that it did 3,000 years ago. You dig the soil and you find pottery from Davidic times, coins from Bar Kokhba, and 2,000-year-old scrolls written in a script remarkably like the one that today advertises ice cream at the corner candy store."
The people of Israel (also called the "Jewish People") trace their origin to Abraham, who established the belief that there is only one God, the creator of the universe (see Old Testament). Abraham, his son Yitshak (Isaac), and grandson Jacob (Israel), are referred to as the patriarchs of the Israelites. All three patriarchs lived in the Land of Canaan, that later came to be known as the Land of Israel. They and their wives are buried in the Ma'arat HaMachpela, the Tomb of the Patriarchs, in Hebron.
The name Israel derives from the name given to Jacob (see Old Testament). His 12 sons were the kernels of 12 tribes that later developed into the Jewish nation. The name Jew derives from Yehuda (Judah) one of the 12 sons of Jacob (Reuben, Shimon, Levi, Yehuda, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Yisachar, Zevulun, Yosef, Binyamin). So, the names Israel, Israeli or Jewish refer to people of the same origin.

Quote from Charles Krauthammer - The Weekly Standard, May 11, 1998

** "Shomron is the heart of Biblical Israel. Most of today's communities were built near ancient sites from the First and Second Temples periods, and the time of the Mishna and the Talmud." See http://www.magniel.com/shomron/ especially http://www.magniel.com/shomron/geo.html

*** The current occupiers of most of Gaza/Aza today are the Arabs/Moslems. But they are not the descendants of the original inhabitants. Gaza/Aza is mentioned 18 times in The Bible as part of the Jewish homeland. The Israelites had been in Gaza before the time of Samson (Judges, 16:1) and were still in possession of it in the time of Solomon (Kings I:4:1). (6) However, just as what happened in Judea and Samaria, Gaza/Aza had its Jews expelled, and has been occupied by numerous invaders and foreign civilizations.
Gaza/Aza was part of the Jewish homeland long before Islam sprang into being. Archeologists have documented remains of a Roman-period synagogue in Gaza which includes Judaic inscriptions on a column located today in the major mosque of Gaza/Aza. This writing is a Hebrew-Greek inscription complete with Jewish motifs that mention Hananiah, the son of Jacob. It has been dated to the second or third centuries -- long before Mohammed lived.

QUOTE from a "Palestinian" (born in Egypt):

"We Palestinians will take over everything, including all of Jerusalem....All the rich Jews who will get compensation will travel to America....We of the PLO will now concentrate all our efforts on splitting Israel psychologically into two camps. Within five years we will have six to seven million Arabs living in the West Bank and in Jerusalem....You understand that we plan to eliminate the State of Israel and establish a purely Palestinian State....I have no use for Jews; they are and remain Jews."Yasser Arafat - Palestinian 'President', Jan. 30, 1996, Private speech to Arab leaders - "The Impending Total Collapse of Israel", Stockholm, Sweden More Quotes

Could you comment, whether my details are correct in a dissident essay in
http://www.helsinki.fi/~pjojala/Expelled-Jews-statistics.htm ?

E.g. "Tel Aviv (literally: Dumb-Hill of Spring) was plain desert at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, in the advent of its 100th year celebrations in 2009, it is the Silicon Wadi (Valley) of not only Mediterranean but of the whole globe since 1990's. The world has never seen such a rocket area of original Hi Tech innovations, I would say.

It is United States that profits from Israel, rather than the opposite. Israel gets nearly 2 billion euros from USA almost every year, that is true. But US demands Israel not to stop brain drain from Eretz israel to the US. Astonishing number of 25% of the Israeli researchers have moved from Israel to the United States - and this figure does not yet even include the people with double citizenship! The next largest brain drain of researchers to US are 12.2% from Canada, 4.3% from Netherlands, and 4.2% from Italy. Before the Second Intifada, there were 200 Israeli companies listed in the US High Tech Nasdaq, after the Intifada the count had dropped to 70. (At the moment the number is back in 100, however, which is still greater than from all the European countries combined). Dollars are green since the yankees pull them down from the tree raw and fresh (e.g. Mirabilis by AOL with $407 million, Indigo by HP with 719$, M-systems by ScanDisk Corp (SNDK) with $1.5 billion were big investments, though). Israel has not been allowed to let any of its companies to be scaled up in their homeland but most are imported straight from the garage. The scaling up of industrial production would mean jobs to both Jews, Arabs and other ethnic groups. Israel is ordered to stay as some kind of innovation laboratory only, as the 51. state.

One of the secrets of innovative success in Israel is the fact that cheating is minimized in the public funding: Money is not delivered according to research plans but steady income and thus the market analysis is emphasized. The support is designed so that the first 2-10 years a startup company does not have to pay taxes. But very little, if any, direct funding without compensation is offered. Today, Israel draws Venture Capital (VC) more than the Europe. A novel phenomenon is the strategy by which Israel has been able to claim victory over China and other Far-East countries regarding the modern High Tech factories: As an example, the supranational Intel transferred the mass production of Centricon-processors to Israel, where ~25% of citizens possess a higher decree from the university but where people respect patents and are not plagiating every item they produce to others. Intel was also offered an overall tax rate of 10% which is about three times lower than that of US. Also, the biggest generic drug factory in the world was recently established in Israel. Generating US$7 billion in annual revenues, Israel's Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (TEVA) is the world's largest generic pharmaceutical company. TEVA makes generic versions of brand-name antibiotics, heart drugs, heartburn medications, and more - in all close to 200 global generic products, 700 compounds, and more than 2800 dosage forms and formulations. TEVA's pharmaceuticals are used in some 20% of U.S. generic drug prescriptions. Examples of TEVA's generics include lower-cost equivalents of such blockbusters as anti-depressant Prozac and cholesterol drug Mevacor. Nevertheless, in biotechnology and original drug development, about 400 experimental drugs have been approved or accepted in clinical phases. The greatest portion of funding of research per capita is found in Israel. Israel also has the greatest ratio of researchers per square meter or population in the face of the world, far exceeding I.e. Japan. A modern Western plague is the way nobody talks to each other. But the Israeli start-ups, in an ideal gas, are the opposite. They are urged to communicate together within the startups, leading to joint discoveries and inventions and shared IPR.

Over half of the export from Israel are High tech products (32 $ billion in 2007), compared to the 25% which is the average in the OECD countries. Israel's GDP is about $200 billion, nearly six times its original, relative per-capita level. Skyscrapers crowd Tel Aviv, multilane thruways, tunnels, fast trains and spaghetti junctions crisscross the country, and some 80 shopping malls, the first of which only opened in 1986. She harbors more museums per capita than any other country. She exhibits second highest output of new book per citizen. More patents per person than any other nation. More than 85% of solid waste in the country is treated in an environmentally sound manner. The shekel is one of the strongest currencies in the world, inflation is 2.5%, year 2007 growth of 5% was the developed world's highest for the fifth consecutive year, while unemployment slid to a 15-year low of 6.5%. In short, even the emmigrant PhD's have to be humble enough to make their living by cleaning toilets before they get the hold of making living. Although the export of the agriculture has remained constant past the last 30 years, its relative amount has dropped from 70% to 3%. Out of the 3000 companies in Israel 80% are less than ten years old, and the average failure rate of these start ups is very low, less than 50%. More Israeli patents are registered in the US than from Russia, India, and China combined, despite the enormous population disadvantage (about 7 million in Israel vs. 2.5 billion combined in the other 3). Nobels, by definition, are awarded to the people who have served the world. Although Sabin and Salk never got it with their free Polio vaccines, 21% of the Nobels have gone to this population of less that 17 million, taking both Eretz Israel and galut (diaspora) into account: http://www.helsinki.fi/~pjojala/Indicator.html

How has the world reacted to such an impact? Despite of it, one-fourth of the judgements of the Human Rights Commission of the United Nations strike Israel, compared to zero judgments to all the Islamic countries combined. Out of the incidences dealt in the Security Counsil one-third is having to do with Israel. I think this resembles the hysteria seen in the Black Plague in Europe, when the European Jews were accused of the pandemia and burnt alive.

As a matter of fact, the population of Arabs (my beloved friends and brothers) under the Israeli government was increased ten-fold (10X) in only 57 years. This is close to the world record for any nation at the same time interval. The Sephardi Jews were expelled from Spain in the very date when Christoffer Colombo lifted up his anchors and sailed away from Spain. The Jews had to leave and their possessions were stolen. In the case of the Mizrahi, the Jews have lived for millennia all around the Middle East since the first exile of Israel 500 B.C., in what are now Muslim-dominated countries. While much has been made of the 700,000 Palestinians having been made homeless with the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, it's peculiar that there is no official recognition of their Jewish counterparts. A greater number of Jews - some 856,000 - were forcefully expelled from Arab countries after the creation of the State of Israel, their homes forfeited, their belongings seized. They became refugees, migrating to Israel, mainly. But they did not spoke any Hebrew but Arabic and Farsi (Persian).

Israel has been forced to damage the very infrastructure she has constructed and administrated while hunting the weapons from the milittant police forces after the release of prisoners and arsenal according to the Oslo accords. Between 1967-1993 roads, system of siewers (gutters, ditches), electricity supply, water supply, schools, health care system, and social welfare system to the West Bank and Gaza. In contrast, even the official law in Jordan which has the peace treaty with Israel, it is forbidden for a Jew to live in the country. The health care services have been free for the Arab population, only a portion of the price of the drugs must have been paid by the patients. Under the administrations of Great Britain (1920-1947) or Jordan (1948-1967), no universities were established for the Arabs in the country. According to The Association of Arab Universitiesin (http://www.aaru.edu.jo/), in contrast, under the Israeli administration altogether six universities appeared during the time (of course by the force of the local Arab people, though). Also, since 1969 an independent newspaper has appeared in Jerusalem, which has never been put under a censorship.

Despite the anti-Israel media war in Europe, the long-time funding office of the PLO, Palestinian life expectancy increased from 48 to 72 years in 1967-1995. The death rate decreased by over 2/3 in 1970-1990 and the Israeli medical campaigns decreased the child deat rate from a level of 60 per 1000 in 1968 to 15 per 1000 in 2000 for the "occupied" Palestinians at the Westbank. (An analogous figure was 64 in Iraq, 40 in Egypt, 23 in Jordan, and 22 in Syria in 2000). During 1967-1988 the amount of comprehensive schoold and second level polytechnic institutes for the Arabs was increased by 35%. During 1970-1986 the proportion of Palestinian women at the West Bank and Gaza not having gone to school decreased from 67 % to 32 %. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita in West Bank and Gaza increased in 1968-1991 from 165 US dollars to 1715 dollars (compare with 1630$ in Turkey, 1440$ in Tunis, 1050$ in Jordan, 800$ in Syria, 600$ in Egypt. and 400$ in Yemen). Israel has been forced to damage the very infrastructure she has constructed and administrated while hunting the weapons from the milittant "freedom fighters". Between 1967-1993 roads, system of siewers (gutters, ditches), electricity supply, water supply, schools, health care system, and social welfare system to the West Bank and Gaza.

The Second Intifada could be called The Oslo War.

Aviv is Hebrew for "spring", symbolizing renewal, and tel is an archaeological site that reveals layers of civilization built one over the other. The Jewish population has been such a layer of native culture not only in the Palestine, yet the expulsion of the native Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews from Pakistan to Morocco since 1948 is totally ignored in the European media: http://www.helsinki.fi/~pjojala/Expelled-Jews-statistics.htm.

Don't You think for a blitch second that the industrial countries have desired peace in the Middle East. A collaboration between the Jews with their technology and science and Arabs with their oil, loyality and commitment has been the greatest nightmare of the Europe at least. The intimate friendship between the cousin nations, as officially declared by Chaim Weizmann and Emir Feisal in Versailles peace conference was deliberately mutilated. Expulsion of the native and national Jews from Muslim countries since 1948 has been al Nakba to nations from Pakistan to Morocco."
