[quote]Might I comment:

1. The Arabs throughout the Arabian peninsula did not vote to be ruled by the Ottoman Empire for 400 years - but they were so governed.[quote]

What might that mean but Ottoman rule of the Peninsula?

[quote]2.The Arabs - not the "Palestinians" - were promised freedom and they got it under the same Mandate system as the Jewish people. [/quote]

It was reneging on that promise to the Palestinians that resulted in the resignation of T.E. Lawrence (of Arabia) as that is what he was authorized to promise. The secret Sykes-Picot agreement was the real plan of Britain and France which does in fact specifically address the split up of Palestine-Syria into Syria in the north and the so-called Trans-Jordan in the south. Going back over 2500 years as mentioned by Herodotus and the chronicles of Alexander's conquests these two regions were Palestine-Syria. That is centuries before Jews appeared in history.

Mr. Singer,

Re: 3, If I am in error as to a vote by the Palestinians west of the Jordan River to join the British invented kingdom of Jordan I await enlightenment by you as to the date and particulars of that vote. As there was no territory known as the "west bank" until 1967 I will have much to learn from the URLs you will provide. Please do so.

In the matter of 4, we disagree only on the date not the substance of region being relinquished in favor of the Palestinians, not Arabs, Palestinians since at least 2500 BC.

Re: 5, You agree there are at least a half million Jewish war criminals living in Jerusalem and the West Bank. That is the point. It is not worth digression upon the exact number of criminals.

Re: 6, Regardless of the breakout it was not done with the consent of the governed and thus it has no standing. Colonial actions have lost all legal standing in any event. Britain had no just power to divide the land.

Re: 7, The Mandate called it the Transjordan. It divided into Palestine and Jordan by Britain. That is included in every discussion of the subject.

Dave, do you live in Israel, if not why not !!

>>burying the past, faking the future>>

Does the region have a future?

Or is it all going to end in radioactive ashes?

BOOM!, there goes around a quarter of the world's oil pumping capacity.

Now might be a good time to sell your car and learn to ride a bicycle.

You sure aren't going to be able to afford petrol AB (After BOOM!)

On the other hand we won't have Iran's mad mullahs to worry about and the Salfists won't be getting any more Saudi petrodollars.

Come to think of it how many Salafists will still be around?

If you've always had a hankering to see the pyramids and the sphinx don't wait.

BOOM!

BTW folks in case you think my previous post is a joke in bad taste, it isn't.

I quite literally think a hundred million plus deaths are inevitable. If Israel goes down Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Syria will cease to exist.

Believe it.

In the end the Israelis will push the button.

What do you think 200 airbursts can do?

Those that don't die immediately will die of disease and starvation. There literally will not be enough people to bury the dead. It will be impossible to get food and water and medicines to the survivors.

It will be the greatest horror the world has seen. In the space of a few hours more people will die than in both world wars combined.

Steven, that makes two of us who seem to be aware of what is coming. Everyone else is unaware or asleep.

The media is not dealing with the approaching nuclear holocaust which will be started by Israel. We are living in a Fool's Paradise.

The creation of Israel will prove to be mankind's greatest mistake!
