Why
do Palestinians kill themselves and Israelis in such an horrific way at
the bus stop or in a crowded market? Do you really care to know? Well, let
me try and explain. I
believe it is an act of absolute despair and a very serious stage of the
seemingly perpetual conflict. Since the uprooting of the Palestinians in
1948 triggered by Irgun Jewish terror under the leadership of Yitzak
Shamir and Menachem Begin, we have tried everything...

Prorok
Dawid zajął Jerozolimę w 1004 r. p.n.e. i uczynił z
niej stolicę swego królestwa, które istniało przez 75 lat, za
panowania Dawida i jego syna Salomona. Królestwo to zajmowało tylko
środkową część Palestyny i było wasalem
Egiptu. Po śmierci Salomona podzieliło się na dwa państwa.
Jedno z nich to królestwo Izraela ze stolicą w Nablus, którego
istnieniu położył kres asyryjski król Sennacherib w 722 r.
p.n.e.. Drugie to królestwo Judy ze stolicą w Jerozolimie... W 133
roku Rzymianie stłumili powstanie Żydow i wypędzili ich z Palestyny. Czy to
dlatego "walczymy" już 2000 lat ?

Kilka tygodni temu moja siostra, pracująca matka
czworga dzieci, była poruszona, zobaczywszy na ekranie telewizora
izraelskie czołgi na ulicach obozu dla uchodźców palestyńskich i
żołnierzy, wdzierających się do ich domostw. Oświadczyła, że chciałaby
dołączyć do męczenników. Parę godzin później świat dowiedział się, że w
Jerozolimie pewna młoda Palestynka wysadziła się w powietrze, zabijając
Izraelczyka i raniąc 150 przechodniów... (

People who helped Jews
to survive
during the second world war - what do they feel now ? Some put their own life in danger to help
them, and look what they do now ? I
really hope one they - they will understand : there is no peace trough violence, no peace trough humiliation
of Palestinians, no peace without forgiveness.... The "God given
land" is between Nile and Euphrates - they think and no one can
explain it to them that it's not exactly like that. I can't understand also the "American support" for this criminal act. With so much
grief of WTC, they still don't get the message and right
conclusion.... One, who thinks that he can bring justice with war
planes, tanks, guns... |

A woman with her leg all but ripped off by a helicopter rocket, the
mangled remains hanging on by a thread of skin as she slowly bleeds to
death. A 10-year-old boy lying dead in the street, his arm blown off and a
great hole in his side. A mother shot dead when she ran into the street to
scream for help for her dying son. The wounded left to die slowly, in
horrible agony, because the ambulances were not allowed in to treat them.
A terrible crime has been committed by Israel in Jenin refugee camp, and
the world is turning a blind eye. Colin Powell, the US Secretary of State,
visited the scene of a suicide bombing that murdered six Israelis in
Jerusalem, but he did not visit Jenin, where the Israelis admit they
killed at least 100 Palestinians. The Israel army claims all of the dead
were armed men, that it took special care to avoid civilian casualties.
But we saw the helicopter rockets rain down on desperately crowded areas:
civilian casualties could not have been prevented... (

A one time self-styled "symbol of the

hypocrite who does not believe that human rights are applicable to all
human beings everywhere and irrespective of their race, colour or
religion.

(

cominciare a chiedersi cosa spinga un ragazzo o una ragazza a morire per
uccidere. Se riusciamo a trovare una risposta a questo interrogativo forse
cominceremo a capire meglio la situazione e ad individuare la strada da
percorrere per arrivare alla pace e alla fine del terrorismo. La strada
che sta percorrendo Sharon punta alla eliminazione fisica del popolo
palestinese e questa puň essere una delle soluzioni....
Kto
zrozumie, dlaczego Palestyńczycy wysadzają się w powietrze
w izraelskich restauracjach i autobusach, ten pojmie istotę
konfliktu. Jesteśmy narodem gniewnym i zuchwałym. Dziś każdy
z nas walczy o to, by sam nie musiał zostać zamachowcem-samobójcą.
Podobno przed bramami raju stoi już długa kolejka ochotników.
Jestem skłonny w to uwierzyć. Zamachowców do działania
popycha długa historia poniżonego narodu i pragnienie zemsty,
jakie nosi w sobie każdy Arab. Od kiedy w 1948 roku utworzono państwo
Izrael i wygnano Palestyńczyków z ich ojczystej ziemi, arabskie
dusze pogrążone są w głębokim wstydzie. A wstyd
to w kulturze arabskiej najboleśniejsze z uczuć. Kto go zaznał,
uważa, że nie ma już po co żyć. Człowiek
honoru nie godzi się na takie poniżenie; woli zginąć z
godnością... (

Pictures - Palestinian support demonstrations
Official declarations and many reports in
the Israeli media indicate that the Israeli military and political
leadership are aiming, eventually, at a total destruction of the
Palestinian authority, and, with it, the process of Oslo, which is now
dominantly considered by them a 'historical mistake'... (

"Americans tend to see Israel's offensive in

Is "American glass haw empty" this

How
stupid do they think we are ?
In
January 1996, with full support from Israel and responding to the
invitation of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, the Carter Center
helped to monitor a democratic election in the West Bank and Gaza, which
was well organized, open and fair. In that election, 88 members were
elected to the Palestinian National Authority, with Yasir Arafat as
president. Sharon's rejection of all peace agreements that included
Israeli withdrawal from Arab lands, his invasion of Lebanon, his
provocative visit to the Temple Mount, the destruction of villages and
homes, the arrests of thousands of Palestinians and his open defiance of
President George W. Bush's demand that he comply with international law
have all been orchestrated to accomplish his ultimate goals: to establish
Israeli settlements as widely as possible throughout occupied
territories and to deny Palestinians a cohesive political existence -

Meets With Arafat
"When
the Israelis complete the full withdrawal we will carry out our
obligations,"
Sharon and Ben-Eliezer declare
that if the Palestinians are made to suffer more and more, they will
eventually surrender and agree to live in several Ghettos, as proposed by
Sharon. In practice, the opposite is happening: the more the pressure on them
mounts, the more their unity grows, their methods of resistance improve and
their readiness to suffer and not to surrender increases -

Defeat
and victory - tears AND MORE HATE !
At its annual session in Geneva, the commission approved with a majority vote a
resolution which accused Israel of mass killings of Palestinians and demanded
that it end its military offensive in the occupied territories. The motion
accused Israel for "gross violations" of humanitarian law and affirmed
the "legitimate right of Palestinian people to resist".

Bush,
Saudi Prince Meeting in Texas
The foreign minister ridiculed Bush's description of Sharon as "a man of
peace." "Ariel Sharon a man of peace?" the prince said.
"I don't think even Ariel Sharon believes that." Responding to
Bush's demand that Arab countries condemn Palestinian suicide bombings,
al-Faisal in an interview with the Arab daily al-Hayat said: "Nobody favors
killing the innocent from here or there." But the Saudi foreign minister
added: "How could anybody condemn a person who lost hope in life because of
humiliations and circumstances imposed on him by an occupier? There is a
difference between a terrorist attack like what took place on Sept. 11, and a
suicide operation by a male or female youth (for) who all means of decent life
have been blocked." (
