An excellent summation of Israel and Palestine and the UN interference

The comment below from Patrica on Whale Oil Beef Hooked deserves more sunlight. (Edited)

Why the UN stickybeaks are wrong and have no right to act against Israel in the matter of the West Bank settlements
The West Bank is sovereign Israeli territory by right of conquest and conceded by Jordan, its previous owner, in order to end the 6 day war in 1967.

Palestine has never been a country, rather it refers to a region controlled by various empires. Between 1516 and 1917 it was part of the Ottoman Empire and from 1922 to 1948 the area was ruled by the British under a League of Nations mandate.
In 1947 the British declared that they were going to terminate their mandate over the region and the United Nations came up with a plan to split the area into two territories, one for the Jews and the other for the Palestinians. The Jews then declared the state of Israel and the neighbouring Arab nations of Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt (with token contributions from Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Yemen) immediately invaded with the declared aim of the destruction of the Jewish state.

In the 18 months which followed the Israelis withstood the initial onslaught, then drove the Arabs out of most of the region, the exception being the Gaza strip, held by Egypt, and the West Bank which was taken by Jordan. It should be noted that the Palestinian’s Arab neighbours TOOK all the land they could for themselves; they did NOT create a state for the Palestinian’s. The UN did NOT wave its hands in the air and shout that Palestine should be returned to the Palestinians. With friends like those of the Palestinians’………
In 1967 the 6 day war resulted in the conquest of the West Bank territory by Israel and as part of the resulting peace treaty with Jordan, Jordan ceded that territory to Israel. Israel also took the Sinai Peninsular from Egypt and the Golan heights from Syria. Again, the UN did NOT jump up and down about the return of Palestine to the Palestinians!
After another decade or so of tension and conflict Israel negotiated peace with Egypt and Egypt has withdrawn its stated aim to destroy Israel. Israel has returned the Sinai Peninsular to Egypt and there has been a marked decrease in tension between the two nations, demonstrating Israel’s willingness to live harmoniously in the region if only its neighbours will withdraw the threat of destruction.

The same cannot be said for the Golan Heights which were regularly used to shell Israel until the Israelis took them in 1967. With no such recognition of Israel’s right to exist being forthcoming Israel has sensibly retained possession of the Heights.
In the West Bank and Gaza Strip Israel has taken significant steps towards allowing autonomous rule by the Palestinian Arabs, however this in the face of continued terrorist actions and repeated calls for Israel’s destruction; the willingness of Israel to allow the creation of an antagonistic state on its doorstep is understandably low.

There is no country of Palestine to return to the Palestinians and all borders that exist today do so by right of conquest or negotiation by the Israelis with their neighbours. This modern phenomenon of demanding that a conquering nation return the land it has won to the previous owners was not in play when the West Bank was taken and it was taken from Jordan, who had previously annexed it from the Palestinians, also by right of conquest. The West Bank is Israeli territory and the UN has no business dictating what they can and cannot build there. There is no breach of International law because Israel is not acting outside of its borders. All this has done is provide the Palestinians with a feeling of justification for more terrorist acts and the Israelis with confirmation that they need to suppress their Arab citizens if the state is to survive. Has it enhanced the prospects of peace in the region? I don’t think so.

The Palestinians within the borders of Israel are not a nation. They are disgruntled citizens who must learn to live peacefully with the Jews if they want to remain living in that land or relocate to a country whose government they prefer. Peaceful protest against discriminatory laws would be acceptable from people who were not crying “destroy Israel and kill the Jews”; as it is the Jews of Israel have good reason to fear removing their foot from the Palestinian throat.

Wow! Former Muslim Biker's POWERFUL Message To Radical Islamists

Open Letter To Kansas School Board From Bobby Henderson "Concerned Citizen"

I am writing you with much concern after having read of your hearing to decide whether the alternative theory of Intelligent Design should be taught along with the theory of Evolution. I think we can all agree that it is important for students to hear multiple viewpoints so they can choose for themselves the theory that makes the most sense to them. I am concerned, however, that students will only hear one theory of Intelligent Design.
Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. It was He who created all that we see and all that we feel. We feel strongly that the overwhelming scientific evidence pointing towards evolutionary processes is nothing but a coincidence, put in place by Him.
It is for this reason that I’m writing you today, to formally request that this alternative theory be taught in your schools, along with the other two theories. In fact, I will go so far as to say, if you do not agree to do this, we will be forced to proceed with legal action. I’m sure you see where we are coming from. If the Intelligent Design theory is not based on faith, but instead another scientific theory, as is claimed, then you must also allow our theory to be taught, as it is also based on science, not on faith.
Some find that hard to believe, so it may be helpful to tell you a little more about our beliefs. We have evidence that a Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe. None of us, of course, were around to see it, but we have written accounts of it. We have several lengthy volumes explaining all details of His power. Also, you may be surprised to hear that there are over 10 million of us, and growing. We tend to be very secretive, as many people claim our beliefs are not substantiated by observable evidence.
What these people don’t understand is that He built the world to make us think the earth is older than it really is. For example, a scientist may perform a carbon-dating process on an artifact. He finds that approximately 75% of the Carbon-14 has decayed by electron emission to Nitrogen-14, and infers that this artifact is approximately 10,000 years old, as the half-life of Carbon-14 appears to be 5,730 years. But what our scientist does not realize is that every time he makes a measurement, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is there changing the results with His Noodly Appendage. We have numerous texts that describe in detail how this can be possible and the reasons why He does this. He is of course invisible and can pass through normal matter with ease.
I’m sure you now realize how important it is that your students are taught this alternate theory. It is absolutely imperative that they realize that observable evidence is at the discretion of a Flying Spaghetti Monster. Furthermore, it is disrespectful to teach our beliefs without wearing His chosen outfit, which of course is full pirate regalia. I cannot stress the importance of this enough, and unfortunately cannot describe in detail why this must be done as I fear this letter is already becoming too long. The concise explanation is that He becomes angry if we don’t.
You may be interested to know that global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct effect of the shrinking numbers of Pirates since the 1800s. For your interest, I have included a graph of the approximate number of pirates versus the average global temperature over the last 200 years. As you can see, there is a statistically significant inverse relationship between pirates and global temperature.
 


In conclusion, thank you for taking the time to hear our views and beliefs. I hope I was able to convey the importance of teaching this theory to your students. We will of course be able to train the teachers in this alternate theory. I am eagerly awaiting your response, and hope dearly that no legal action will need to be taken. I think we can all look forward to the time when these three theories are given equal time in our science classrooms across the country, and eventually the world; One third time for Intelligent Design, one third time for Flying Spaghetti Monsterism (Pastafarianism), and one third time for logical conjecture based on overwhelming observable evidence.
Sincerely Yours,

Bobby Henderson, concerned citizen.

P.S. I have included an artistic drawing of Him creating a mountain, trees, and a midget. Remember, we are all His creatures.

An open letter to film, TV and music personalities

Dear All,

To those of you that have never owned a business, are mostly high school dropouts and probably started life busing tables and flipping burgers yet have taken it upon yourselves to be the spokespersons for economic stability, social and moral conscience and values that everyone should listen to I have this to say.

Your moronic, chicken little pseudo intellectual postulating aimed at the low IQ, low yield, endlessly demanding more handouts segment of the population that lives its lives watching daytime TV and dreaming of winning the lottery has revealed how little impact you have on the real world.

The productive and working middle class of every color race and hue has turned it's back on you and you will never win them back. You can cry racist as much as you like but winners are not bound by color or creed. Only losers wallow in that misery.

Yet now your target audience of losers and takers are out there protesting democracy, burning cars and beating people up and you say nothing or are actively encouraging them.

Go burn your bra's, wail and gnash your teeth, howl into the wind and cry like the simpering spoiled brats and whining girls blouses that you are because no one of any worth gives a fuck what you liberal elitist wankers that live in a fantasy world have to say anymore. 

Regards,

Wallace Westland

The Political Spectrum

For too long the left have been perpetrating the myth that fascism is of the far right. It is not. It is of the far left. 

 Many have bought into this mass brainwashing and seem to have forgotten that the Nazi party was actually Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (National-Socialist German Workers' Party; NSDAP). 

The shorthand Nazi was formed from the first two syllables of the German pronunciation of the word "national" (IPA: [na-tsi̯-o-ˈnaːl]).

This short video from Dinesh D'Souza explains it perfectly 

Anarchy is of the far Right.

The Left is about Government control, the further left the more control the government has of your life, freedoms and money.

The Right is about individual responsibility, the further right the more freedom a person has to act as they see fit in their own best interests.

Basic definitions (mine)

Communism-When the state owns all business and the people work for the amount the state says they will

Fascism-You own the business but the state tells you what you can make and how much you can sell it for

Socialism-When the state decides how much of your earnings someone else requires

Libertarian-When the state is reduced to looking after essential services and foreign policy and people are responsible for themselves.  
Anarchy-Freedom of the individual, unregulated by Government controls and laws.
