"Say what is true, although it may be bitter and displeasing to people." (Baihaqi)
At the very end of this article there is an admonition to Muslims.
At Last the Palestinians have found a Two State Solution.
In August of 2006, in response to a request to know if I thought of myself as a prophet, I wrote an Article entitled Prophecy and Reutersgate in which I pointed out that in the Old Testament, the major work of a prophet was to criticise both the national civil and religious leadership and the social behaviour of the general populace.
They were social critics who could both 'see' (what was happening) and 'foresee' the consequences of such behaviour. I pointed out that I made no claim to being a prophet except by way of "Balaam's ass". Nevertheless, the current violence occurring in Palestine today has always been predictable.
Right now the situation in Palestine, is such that news headlines are not only stating that there is a 'coup' underway in Palestine, but as one Palestinian journalist sarcastically put it: "The two-state solution has finally worked. Today, all our enemies have good reason to celebrate."Hamas's Gaza and Fatah's West Bank By Khaled Abu Taomeh
The way events are unfolding in Palestine, Gaza, the smaller Palestinian territory on the Mediterranean Coast, will soon be totally controlled by Hamas, and will be a separate state to the larger Fatah controlled West Bank. How this situation will unfold in relation to Palestinian peace with Israel, is still debatable, but with the animosity between the two factions, Fatah's West Bank leadership is likely to take the high moral road to normalisation of relationship with Israel and in consequence thereof, declare Palestinian Statehood.
Should this scenario play out, the irony of the thing is that in the final analysis, Palestinian Statehood will demonstrate itself not to have been held back by Israeli Occupation and Terror, but by Palestinian Terror.
the terrorism is not truly a religious terrorism, and nor does it reflect the majority attitudes of Islamic people. It is in fact, a political war.
Those anti-semitic idiot PC guilt ridden middle class bleeding hearts who constantly blame Israel and the USA for Islamic Terrorism, should start connecting with reality and take note. The violence between Palestine and Israel is not the popular uprising of a down trodden people, but a violence instigated by politically driven war mongers who care not a whit for their people's condition or situation.
the real cause of all the current strife is the terror group leaderships
The fact is that the Palestinian People mean nothing to the Arab leadership, they are but a pawn in a game, and their suffering is a guarantee of world sympathy and a great PR tool.
One cannot help but conclude that it is neither blindness nor stupidity that drives the world to support terrorism in the Middle East by constantly blaming Israel for it. The answer must be: "The World actually and actively wants Israel and the Jews to Die!
On October 2nd 2006,The Pawns of Palestine: No Peace, No Security I wrote, "Statehood and Peace have never been the agenda of Palestine. The agenda has been hatred toward Israel, and the people of Palestine have been the fodder!"
successive governments have adhered to a strategic approach based on the idea that if Israel wished to remain a Jewish and democratic state, it was not in its long-term strategic interest to continue to control the 1.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, or the 2.5m. Palestinians in the West Bank.
But at the same time, said Gidi Grinstein, head of the Tel Aviv-based Reut think tank, certain factions inside Palestinian society were not interested in the two-state solution. They were, he said Thursday, interested in drawing Israel back into Gaza, perpetuating Israeli occupation, believing that this would lead to Israel's collapse from within.
To reiterate what I wrote in 'The Pawns of Palestine" article, "The real agenda in Palestine is and has always been 'fundamentalism', which is not a religious issue, it is a psychological condition manifesting a desire for power, control and a feeling of righteousness. Social activists exhibit this condition, as do political associations, as do the religious. The people of Palestine suffer because those leading them have been suffering from a psychological condition." What we have been witnessing in Palestine for decades, is nothing more than a psychotic power lust.
That this was so ought not to have been just obvious to a prophet, but should have been obvious to the whole world. Unfortunately it seems that this fast paced prepackaged technological age with all of it's self righteous 'causes and ideologies', doesn't offer us much time to actually think about issues, or digest the facts. We merely allow ourselves to be spoon fed whatever ideological garbage the media feeds that coincides with the label we wear on our foreheads.
For the white western Political Correctness idiots, the issue of Palestinian Recognition of Israel of course demonstrates a justifiable faith in their political ideology. Unfortunately, they haven't the brains to see or hear what is plainly written or said.
But for the people of Palestine however, the latest announcements will prove to be just another pause in the continuing warfare and death, and mounting Palestinian casualties. It is just a tactic that offers no real peace.
Up until now, Israel has been the patsy for all Palestinian Suffering, but as recorded in the article entitled: Arab world in despair over Gaza
Sateh Nourredine, managing editor of Lebanon's As-Safir daily, said Gaza "is out of control." "No one knows where it will lead. They've tried mediation by Egypt, the Arab League and the Mecca agreement. They've had direct talks and a national unity government. Then the situation explodes in this catastrophic way," he told AP. "There is no political logic to what's happening."
Fatah leaders also made urgent appeals to a number of Arab governments to interfere to stop the fighting, but their calls have fallen on deaf ears. The Egyptians, Saudis and Jordanians - who have, until now, been making huge efforts to end the anarchy in the Palestinian areas - are all fed up with the Palestinians.
Whatever decision Abbas and his Fatah lieutenants take, it will be hard to change the new reality that has been created on the ground, especially in the Gaza Strip. As of today, the Palestinians can boast that they have two entities - one in the Gaza Strip run by Muslim fundamentalists and another one in the West Bank under the control of secular Fatah leaders.
Just about everyone in the World is by now 'sick' of the situation in Palestine, but ironically, this time around, it is hard to blame Israel for all the trouble. It is time for the western ideological idiots who hide their anti-semitism behind allegedly 'political' agendas, to realise that their ideological rants and raves has only added to the sufferings of the Palestinian Peoples by providing their leaders with encouragement to continue their desire to destroy Israel.
At the conclusion of my October 2nd 2006 article The Pawns of Palestine: No Peace, No Security I directly appealed to the people of Palestine. As I know my website is accessed there, I would like to reiterate that appeal:
When will the Palestinian People demand Peace and stability from their Leaders?
When will they see the benefits that a democratic government will bring them?
When will they see that Hatred leads to conflict and death.?
When will the Palestinian People wake up?
The Palestinian Leadership does not have the best interests of the people at heart.
Your sufferings are the will of your Leadership.
Your spilled blood, your casualties and your dead bodies, are so valuable to the political cause, that peace is the last thing that your leadership wants.
About the only people on earth today who truly understand the suffering of the Palestinian people,
are the Israelis.
Ironic isn't it?
Admonition for All Palestinians
The following Text was forwarded to me a week or so ago, from a regular Muslim contributer to the King's Calendar. Until now, I did not consider it could be published in a useful way. In view of the preceeding article, I now publish it.
These words were meant in praise of Allah. I place them here as an admonition.
Salam
read these words,and you will know the believer,subhanallah the words of my beloved prophet Muhammad(p.b.u.h) removes all doubts in my heart.
May Allah join us with him on the day of judgement,wallah he is my hero.
"What actions are most excellent? To gladden the heart of human beings, to feed the hungry, to help the afflicted, to lighten the sorrow of the sorrowful, and to remove the sufferings of the injured." (Bukhari)
"The most excellent Jihad is that for the conquest of self." (Bukhari)
"If you put your whole trust in Allah, as you ought, He most certainly will satisfy your needs, as He satisfies those of the birds. They come out hungry in the morning, but return full to their nests." (Tirmidhi)
"When Allah created his creatures He wrote above His throne: 'Verily, my Compassion overcomes my wrath." (Bukhari & Muslim)
"Allah will not give mercy to anyone, except those who give mercy to other creatures." (Abdullah b. Amr: Abu Daud & Tirmidhi)
" 'Son, if you are able, keep your heart from morning till night and from night till morning free from malice towards anyone.' Then the Prophet said: 'O my son! This is one of my laws, and he, who loves my laws verily loves me.' " (Bukhari)
"Say what is true, although it may be bitter and displeasing to people." (Baihaqi)
"Kindness is a mark of faith, and whoever is not kind has no faith." (Muslim)
"When you see a person who has been given more than you in money and beauty, look to those, who have been given less." (Muslim)
"If you do not feel ashamed of anything, then you can do whatever you like." (Abu-Masud: Bukhari)
"O Lord, grant me your love, grant me that I love those who love you; grant me, that I might do the deeds that win your love. Make your love dearer to me than the love of myself, my family and wealth." (Tirmidhi)
"It is better to sit alone than in company with the bad; and it is better still to sit with the good than alone. It is better to speak to a seeker of knowledge than to remain silent; but silence is better than idle words." (Bukhari)

Mercy to the World Shop 5a 168-176 Haldon street Lakemba 2195
"We live in a world with competing ideologies that routinely seek to win us over, and which never let the truth stand in the way of a good philosophy". Whatever philosophy we follow, we just swallow what they feed us.
The tragedy of Reutersgate, is not that an organisation accidentally or deliberately deceived us, but that we willingly make ourselves vulnerable to deception.
"Hamas is slaughtering our sons in the Gaza Strip and the only thing our president is doing is appealing for a cease-fire," said one Fatah leader. "We have at least 40,000 police officers and militiamen in the Gaza Strip. What's preventing them from launching a massive attack on Hamas? Does the president want to see the Gaza Strip fall into the hands of Hamas?"
BenDedek Comment: Could Israel learn from this advice?
Abbas was expected to announce his resignation from the Palestinian unity government, effectively putting an end to a power sharing deal that withstood intermittent clashes between the factions since its signing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in March. Fatah members called on Abbas to order a move from defense to offense, "even at the price of thousands of dead Palestinians," to avoid losing the Gaza Strip to Hamas.
"We are not going to turn off the water for 1.8 million people," the official said. "They are not going to be punished for what is going on there." The question of electricity, however, will be evaluated along with numerous other options Israel is looking at regarding both the current fighting and how to deal with the eventuality that Hamas will completely take over the area.
Marc Otte, the EU's special Middle East envoy...said that the Palestinians "need to decide that enough is enough and turn their energies elsewhere."
Bendedek's Comment Does he mean that this tragedy could be averted if the Palestinians returned to killing Israelis?
The UNHRC's resolution effectively delegitimized Israel's right to exist by denying that it has a right to defend its territory and its people from illegal aggression carried out by an illegal terrorist organization.
Mohamed ElBaradei, the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency's virulently anti-Israel chairman, announced a deal has been reached between Iran and the US, Russia and France regarding Iran's nuclear program.
But now that the administration has agreed to an accord that effectively transforms America into a facilitator of Iran's nuclear weapons program, the time has come for Israel to start voicing its objections.
Colonel Richard Kemp (the former commander of British forces in Afghanistan), who said, "From my knowledge of the IDF and from the extent to which I have been following the current operation, I do not think there has ever been a time in the history of warfare when an army has made more efforts to reduce civil casualties and deaths of innocent people than the IDF is doing today in Gaza."
Every time someone writes, speaks of ‘Palestinians’ a myth is reinforced
Israel eventually negotiated an armistice in 1949...
Arabs who left homes and property in Israel and many from other countries who joined Arab armies and did not want to return, remained in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, most as "refugees" under the care of UNRWA.
This heterogeneous population was called "Arab refugees," not "Palestinians," because at the time there was no such group, or people.
called "Arab refugees" was because there were many other refugees in Palestine,.. Hundreds of thousands of Jewish refugees from Arab countries streamed into Israel. UNRWA offered no aid...
The designation "Palestinian" did not become widely accepted until after the war in 1967...
As the PLO launched mega-terrorist attacks around the world, "Palestinianism" became accepted, backed by the Arab League, Muslim and "non-aligned" countries, and the United Nations.
As the proportion of anti-Israel countries in the UN grew, "Palestinians" were given more and more recognition, support and legitimacy, unlike any other group.
And the fraud worked! It worked so well because the world's media accepted the Palestinians' self-definition and their cause.
Every time someone writes or speaks of "Palestinians" it reinforces this myth.
I was standing in that holiest of places, which generations of Jews for 2,000 years could only dream of visiting, I was forbidden to pray. Simply moving my lips in whispered prayer could be grounds for removal. Why? Because I am a Jew. And only a Muslim can pray on the holiest site in Judaism. A Jew may not.
DURING THE War of Independence in 1948, the Old City of Jerusalem fell to the Jordanians. Nearly 1,500 Jews, including many women and children, were killed.
In June 1967, when Egypt, Syria and Jordan embarked on a war to annihilate the Jewish state, Israel recaptured Jerusalem's Old City.
But then, in a mind-boggling display of attempted appeasement of an enemy that just days before had sought Israel's destruction, defense minister Moshe Dayan decided to allow the Muslim religious council, the Wakf, to retain administrative authority over the Temple Mount. Thus, a truly bizarre and unacceptable situation developed.
I think it is time for us to realise that there is something going on in the United Nations that is working within an agenda far removed from Democratic Principles and Personal Freedoms that we expect.

IMO, The Palestinian issue was never more then large sums of money changing hands between war thugs.
There was always someone paying for the trouble in the area and someone (and his group of thugs) getting paid for it.
It used to be Arafat’s party (while he was alive) who used to enjoy the millions of dollars being poured to the Palestinians territories. But then Hamas got elected and the US and European union immediately stopped aid money as a result. We are talking millions of dollars that could no longer reach (and be divided) among Arafat’s people, yet the Hamas party continued to enjoy Iran’s full support and millions of dollars in blood money (The same way the Hezbollah in Lebanon are). Hence, why the way to a full civil war in Gaza was rather a short one.
I predicted this war as soon as I heard that Hamas got elected to parliament a year or so a go.
Iran needs Hamas in the south (and Hezbollah in the north) to keep Israel and the world busy while it continues it’s nuclear development program uninterrupted. At present, Iran is the one paying for the latest bloodsheet AND SO CALLED PALESTINIAN SUFFERING.
As per usual, Palestinians and Israelis citizens will bear the full human costs...
Just after I published the last news article link in this article, I lost the internet for a week. I only had it back a few days and lost it again. Now I am in the middle of Exams - So I am really out of the loop and behind in the news.
If The West Bank aren't getting ready to sign the total peace deal with Israel and get their Independent State, then I should imagine that by now, Hamas and Fatah should be buddies again.
Actually, Abbas is a master statesman, and even if he makes total peace with Israel, it will just be a sham for a period of Rest.
