The Last Days Of Palestine By: Ronn Torossian | - What would we do if we lived in a flood plain with no egress at all, or along a hurricane evacuation zone that just prolonged the inevitable without taking you out of the path? It is probably something few really consider until the storm is bearing down on them and reality is about hit hard. Living in the New York metropolitan area, having experienced hurricanes, nor'easters and blizzards that destroyed property, wiped out beaches, killed people and devastated lives and families, many of us can ...

The Palestine Cities And Villages Of Old By: Amy Long | - All through Palestine used to be small villages upon the hilltops and in the valleys, lived in by farmers and shepherds. Many of the same crops that grow in the United States were raised there as well, but their ploughs and other farming implements would seem very strange to us. Horses or cattle often treaded out the grain. There were no fences between their fields, and during the harvest the poor people were allowed to follow the reapers and pick up whatever was left behind. Their homes were ...

Palestine At The Time Of Jesus' Birth By: Andrew Cort | - During their years of exile in Babylonia and Persia, the Jewish people had absorbed the idea that life is a battlefield between Good and Evil. Later on, back in Roman-occupied Judea, the line between Good and Evil seemed to have been clearly drawn between the Jews and the Romans. This divisiveness was further fueled by several conflicts that had been brewing for a very long time:
The U.s. Congress In 1922 By: Eli Hertz | - On June 30, 1922, a joint resolution of both Houses of Congress of the United States unanimously endorsed the "Mandate for Palestine," confirming the irrevocable right of Jews to settle in the area of Palestine - anywhere between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea:
"Favoring the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people."
Palestinians - All Just A Big Lie? By: Eli Hertz | - The Palestinians claim that they are an ancient and indigenous people fails to stand up to historic scrutiny. Most Palestinian Arabs were newcomers to British Mandate Palestine. Until the 1967 Six-Day War made it expedient for Arabs to create a Palestinian peoplehood, local Arabs simply considered themselves part of the 'great Arab nation' or 'southern Syrians.'
Politic In Some Different Views For Society Education By: ghostevyta | - Many people in the world especially they who have never felt higher education than elementary school, even have never gone to school consider that politic is always dirty, not good, and not useful.

World Leaders Ignore International Law By: Eli Hertz | - Ban Ki-moon, Condoleezza Rice, and Javier Solana became victims to the 'Occupation' mantra their own organization has repeated over and over in their propaganda campaign to legitimize the Arab position.
The "Road Map" vision, as well as continuous pressure from the "Quartet" (U.S., the European Union, the UN and Russia) to surrender parts of the Land of Israel are contrary to international law that firmly call to "encourage ... close settlement by Jews on the land, including State ...

Churchill And Palestine By: C. Read | - As with most issues Churchill was a contrarian thinker when it came to the Jewish Question, and the creation of a Zionist State. For 40 years, in the face of media and political criticism, Churchill consistently advocated the necessity of forming in Palestine, a Jewish State, and resisted all varieties of appeasement to Arab demands and violence. It is not an exaggeration to state that Churchill's views and political skills and cunning led the way to Anglo-British support of M ...

The Mystery Of The Dead Sea Scrolls By: Burl Collins | - In 1947 on the western shores of the Dead Sea a young Bedouin boy known as Muhammed the Wolf was tending to his herd of goats. He was part of a band of hearty adventurers who were smuggling goats from Transjordan into Palestine. This required that they take the long way around to avoid the Jordan Bridge and the customs officers who guarded it.

So, What's A Nice Irish American "girl" Like Me, Doing In Occupied Territory? By: eileen fleming | - I don't have a degree in journalism, but when I was a kid, I wanted to grow up and be Brenda Starr: the red-headed ace investigative journalist of the Sunday comics.

I told him my hero is Jesus, because he took a stand and he died for it. What really needs to be done is for the churches to be like Jesus; to challenge the Israeli occupation and address the apartheid practices as moral issues. Even if every church divested and boycotted Israel it would not harm Israel. After the USA and Russia, Israel is the third largest arms exporter in the world ...

Whose Land Is That? By: eileen fleming | - On March 25, 2006, I connected just after dawn with a wide awake group of Israeli Jews and atheists to travel to the lower Galilee municipality of Sakhnin, an Arab village whose land continues to be stolen by the Israeli government.

My Christmas In Bethlehem, 2005 By: eileen fleming | - At the Checkpoint and Terminal in Bethlehem, upon the thirty foot high Wall, a hundred square foot sign from The Minister of Tourism hangs and proclaims with Orwellian logic: "PEACE, PEACE, PEACE."
"Peace, peace, peace, they say, when there is no peace."-Jeremiah 6:14
For twelve days around Christmas 2005, I lived in the Little Town of Bethlehem, which is Occupied Territory.
The Wall, Senator Clinton And Bob Marley By: eileen fleming | - On November 15, 2005, Senator Clinton stood on the Jerusalem side of The Wall and was quoted in Ha'aretz, expressing support for The Wall because it "is against terrorists" and "not against the Palestinian people."

They Thirst For Water And Justice By: eileen fleming | - In the past year I have been to the occupied territories in the West Bank three times. I have spoken with hundreds of Palestinian Muslims and Christians, and four members of Hamas who had been elected.
I did NOT meet any terrorists. I did meet human beings who have lived under occupation for forty years. According to International Law, occupation is to be a temporary situation and maintain the status quo.
Immigrants And Converts Responsible For Muslim Terror Violence In The West By: robert1704 | - When we think of terrorist assaults, we visualize hate spitting imams or a serene Osama Bin Laden in front of us; we think of Palestine, Syria, Iran, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. However, as you will see below, this is a very wrong representation of the facts. Although the people and countries that are mentioned are pulling the strings, the real danger is coming from another side.
