Israel - created by terrorism : Comments

By Anne Alexander and John Rose, published 30/5/2008

The state of Israel was founded 60 years ago out of a monstrous crime - the expulsion of nearly a million Palestinians from their homes.

You say >>” last year an Iranian female judge stated that eventually Iran will find its own liberalization.”

Yes, you regularly quote this particular judge. One wonders how she feels about the fact that women are banned from pursuing higher education in 91 of 169 fields of study and must be taught in segregated classrooms. A woman may work with her husband’s permission, although many occupations are forbidden to women.

The hejab, or dress code, is mandatory in all public places for all women. Women must cover their hair and body except for their face and hands and they must not use cosmetics. Punishments range from a verbal reprimand to 74 lashes with a whip to imprisonment for one month to a year. Stoning to death is a legal form of punishment for sexual misconduct.

The legal age at which girls can be married is 9 years (formerly 18 years). Polygamy is legal, with men permitted to have four wives and unlimited number of "temporary wives" What a charming euphemism!! !!. In fact it can be said, broadly speaking, that a woman is worth half of a man under the law in Iran, and is akin to a minor who requires guardianship. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_the_Islamic_Republic_of_Iran

Prior to his election Khatami said, "One of the West’s most serious mistakes was the emancipation of women, which led to the disintegration of families.”

I wonder how she feels about the women stoned to death for adultery or the fact that women judges are not actually allowed to judge cases in Iran, only to advise because women are emotional and cannot make fair judgements. http://www.iranfocus.com/en/women/amnesty-two-sisters-to-be-stoned-to-death-in-iran.html

Iran elected not to become a member of the UN Convention Elimination All Forms Discrimination Against Women since the convention contradicted Sharia law. This creates numerous problems in issues regarding rape, where the female is at fault by default. In such cases, the act of sexual penetration must be attested by at least four male Muslim witnesses of good character.

I wonder how many women are raped in the presence of four good men?? ?? ??

"Also backed the new Israelis in their early wars against the Arabs. "

The Jews were not against the arabs, but returned to their own homeland, under legal UN Motions, voted upon by the entire world - including the islamic states. It is the arabs which were against the jews, making multi-state attacks even when there were no such creatures as muslim palestinians, and when all the land demanded now, were in arab hands.

" arrogant hatred akin to the hatred the Nazis developed against them. "

The nazi hatred was from the gospel indoctrinations. This is blatantly consistent with the medevial church's history.

"more fairness could have come into the United Nations"

The UN failed to issue a resolution condemning the multi-state arab attack on a UN established state, which was perpertrated with a declared goal of genocide. This was and remains the worst violation in the UN's history. The EU & all chrtians remain liable for allowing this by their silence and actually fostering of it.

"the same great powers shutting their minds as Israel went illegally atomic"

Israel is the only nation which has leigitamcy for owning such weapons - she would not exist a week without it. Those who advocate israel not be able to defend herself - are sorry that she exists and wants another holocaust as european christianity did. They are not concerned of the arabs at all - only with the Jew factor.

"This is especially so in Iraq, where so much spin is being spun"

The Iraq war was legitimate and it was won. The terrorism occuring there has nothing to do with the war, but this spin is a generic terrorism occuring everywhere there is any interaction with islamists - from china, india, to arabia and europe. The muslims, the EU and the UN were silent as over 700,000 Iraqu corpses were unearthed by US. The muslim martyrs must be told plainly:

FREEDOM FIGHTERS START AT HOME - AGAINST THEIR 57 REGIMES IN 57 ISLAMIC STATES - NOT IN SCHOOLS AND CAFES OUTSIDE THEIR COUNTRIES.

"Is the god oF israel the same god of creation?"

The God of Israel is the God of all - there is no other. Monotheism is logocal and true, via science, maths or any other thinking.

"jesus said :by_their_deeds-will_we_known_them !"

Good - and this is addressed to Europe: the world's biggest mass murderers and inventers of racist doctrines, touting exclusive kingdom keys instead of 'ONLY THE SOUL THAT SINNETH IT SHALL PAY'/OT; and horrific, false villifications of those who gave it a Light. JC & Mohammed have clearly harkened to the God of Israel, and turned cheek from Europe: Israel is returned, and this is not an evil thing - but a divine hand against evil:

'WE WILL NEVER SUPPORT THE RETURN OF THE JEWS TO *THEIR HOMELAND* BECAUSE THEY REJECTED JC' - Pope not so Pious.

Now muslims are turning Europe to Eurostan - because Europe rejected Mohammed. Howzat!? Instead of beautifying such an evil man, he must be condemned as a nazi-like figure who professed genocide - not letting Jews return to their land - while hating their presence in Europe's ghettoes. Christians will face different questions then they wish to choose by hiding behind Jesus.

Eventually, all christians & muslims will also see the light: all their alledged revelations, which contradict each other [both cannot be right!], are only steps towards the true ONE God. If christians get stuck with an alledged son, instead of the Father of all - it is paganism. Period.

THE MESSAGE MUST TRANSCEND THE MESSENGER.

Jeez, I swear TOO many of you are on the juice, some of you BIG time.
There's not an objective, pragmatic view given, anywhere!
The state of Israel was created by a peoples belief in God's willingness to help them to do what they needed to do. They didn't rely on any nation, because no other nation gave a rats! No one country was comfortable in receiving them. They also understood not to deliberate about God's will when it came to decision making, because regardless of choice, his will be done. This nation born of slaves, persecuted to buggery and back by most everyone, most of the time in most places decided, collectively,"If it is to be, it's up to me!" and went ahead and did what they determined best. It apparently wasn't God's will that they fail, nor has history shown it his will for them to fail subsequent.
Terrorism? If by acting in an assertive pro-active manner against those who profess the willingness and desire to remove evidence of their existence can be called terrorism, then those so terrorised would do well not to poke the bear, methinks...because Israel will ALWAYS hit back harder and longer to discourage and dishearten stupid behaviour...the same as we would in Australia if suitably provoked.

Please, you backers of a militarily nuclear Israel, are reminded that Israel way back in the 1970s broke a law that even the useless UN never had the guts to complain about.

An illegal act which even a born Jew, Henry Kissinger realised the danger giving warning about upsetting the balance of power among Middle East nations.

Also please take note that Iran, the country you hate so much has since its Persian days never militarily attacked another country.

Personally, I don't go much for Iranian's religous run politics neither, but do believe that the presence of a tiny nation like Israel with the atomic capacity to destroy a nation ten time its size, doesn't hold well for peace not only in the Middle East but the whole world.

Certainly we could do well with a competent global authority in this world.

Sorry to get back to the reminder that both the League of Nations and the UN were both partly patterned on the Kantian policy for global peace.

But rather than Kant's wish for an indestructable world policing power based on a Federation of Nations run by a Global Court, we now have Pax Americana with the contempuous political hide to send in
Condoleeza Rice to virtually call the UN tune.
