Palestinians, history and struggle
Just finished exams, finally.
Yoepus, to address your earlier questions about the CIA, yes, James Woosley was Director when the CIA invaded Haiti and Somalia, but I won't get into the details of that. And yes, since the CIA is a terrorist organization responsible for acts that have killed thousands of people, that makes the US government who helps plan these atrocities and funds them, a terrorist organization. Basically, this is the sad conclusion. It's hard to see the Presidents as terrorists but what can we say when we look at the actions of the CIA? You said it yourself. Another question you had was whether this means that the American people are terrorists since they pay taxes. I think the people don't realize how their taxes are spent. They don't realize that they're supporting terrorism around the world. This is why there is such thing as political activists. Activists work to educate the people on what our governments are doing in the world and where our taxes are going.
On to the origins of the Palestinians. What happened to the Canaanites, Amorites, Jebusites, Philistines, Cretes, and other tribes who lived there since history began? They were there before the Jews arrived from Egypt. They were there when Jews named the land Israel and Judah 2000 years ago. They were also there when the Romans named the land Palestine. Jews lived amongst these tribes throughout time. With the rise of Islam, Arabs spread from the Arabian peninsula and into Palestine where they mixed with those tribes and the Jews and Arabic became the common language and the people identified themsleves as Arabs, including the Jews of the region. When Ottomans incorporated it into their empire in 1516, they called Palestine a province. Therefore, the Palestinians, whether Muslim, Christian, or Jewish, have always lived on that land. Anyone who puts quotation marks on "Palestinian" and negates our existence is a racist and probably not worth debating with.
About Saddam and spam. Just want you all to know that in the Arab world we have beef spam, just as we have beef peperoni on pizza, beef sausages, and beef or turkey bacon. So the spam might have been beef, either way it doesn't matter, I hardly doubt Saddam followed his faith other than to showoff.
