Have you ever seen the size of Israel ?
There is not enough space to write I S R A E L on the surfuse of this small land. If you go from North Israel to the South , it would take you about 8 hours with a rather old car, but if you want to go from East to West , it's about 20 minutes .
This is the land that "Peace activists" are fighting to hand to a people whose way of life is terror. Giving our land to the Arabs would mean that no Jew will be allowed to live there, while Arab sattlements will still flourish on the nerrow belt of what would be left of the state of Israel. According to those peace activists , Judea and Samaria should be Juden Rein.
In 1947 the UN came up with the most unfair devision of the land of Israel . Jews were given a narrow belt that would be called in the future the state of Israel, but the Jews wanted so much a state of their own ,that they agreed to that unfair devision. . The Arabs however were never able to come to terms with that sattlement , and so what happened in the next 3o years , is that they tried time and again to destroy and nullify the young state. It cost them with more land conqoured by us- the Israelis ,and that , if you ask me is a small price to pay for trying to kill a people. The Arabs were basically trying to create a second genocide . They tried it in 1948 ,and then in 1967 - they talked about it , declared it , planned it and then acted upon it . think). If it weren't for their jealousy and stupidity , we would probally settle for that nerrow belt and would write poems and essays about our (fake) yearning to the holliest place of all to the Jewish people -The temple Mount. We wouldn't do anything , just talk and bicker . It's a Jewish tradition.
Speaking of which , The holocoust is not the reason why Jews returned to Israel. As I mentioned before , there were always Jewish people in Israel . Always. Israel has always been and always will be the one and only home of the Jewish people. This is where I allow myself to say that it is a Godly decree,but even if you don't believe in God , or in Godly decrees , your avarage Jew , has always prayed three times a day, to return to Zion . The main prayer includes Israel and Jerusalem and the hope to return. We have been doing it for the past 2000 years . We mention the hope that Jerusalem will be built ,in the grace after eating bread or cake ("Birkat hamazon"). Jerusalem was and still is mentioned in every wedding, as well as funurals ,and it appears in the bible for hundreds of times. The holocaust is a tragic event , however , it has very little to do with the fact that Israel is my home .
Common Mistake no. 187,456
Above the holliest place to the Jewish people stands a mosque . The wailing wall is not the holliest place to the Jewish people, as some ignorant people think - it is only the outside wall that surrounded the temple . The center of the temple is in fact in the Dome of the Rock.
How many times is Jerusalem mentioned in the Koran? Zero.
There is a forgotten legend about the horse (!) of Mohamad , spending sometime at the spot before flying to heaven - but it was a political plot ,that strated around the 14th century by Salach Addin , who basically covetted the place.
I have more to say about this subject . The injustice that was done to the Jewish people in 1948 continues ,and what's sad is , is that Israelis have begun believing this lie ,that we are imperialists ect. The truth is so vivid and sad , but certain Israelies insist on feeling guilty for surviving the wars against the Arab nations , or maybe it is a strange desire to be the tragic hero of the stories. People continue saying " what will the world think of us ." and they really want to be looked at as moral , rightous , good. People like myself don't need the world's (i.e. Europe ) approval . I find "the world" , not so moral - defenitely not moral enough to critisize me.
Thanks for reading so far .
a little more about the UN settlement from 1947.
The Arabs rejected the UN's plan almost unanimously . They wanted it all. Which was for the best really . In 1948 the Arabs set for a killing journy , which ended in their own loss. Had they won , they would have killed all the Jews (As they honestly declared before and after the war) They would probably leave a few helpless women for personal use. God , or if you may- history, had other plans . Being defeated -some of them fled hastily . I think they were sure , that the Israelis would do to them , what they had planned to do to the Israelis . Truth must be told , the Israeli prime minester then, David Ben Gurion , indeed deported some villages. He said that the attacker should pay the price . Many others left on their own initiative , despite Jews asking them to stay , such was the case of a few neighbourhoods in Haifa .
If I forget thee Jerusalem
Just like Berlin , Jerusalem was a devided city. It is needless to say that the Jewish parts suffered shooting from Arab parts (Then it was Jordanian). There would be endless attacks on the young state ,and Arab leaders kept boasting of how they will throw all the Jews to the see. They felt so humiliated by the fact that those Jews got themselves a state , that they refused to ecknowledge Israel's existense and so they named us ," the Zionistic Entity. Not that it bothered anyone too much .
In the late eighties- beginning of the ninetees I served in the army and part of my job was to read speaches of Arab leaders , the kind you find in the newspapers -nothing secret . Israel was then still "The Entity ".
