you seemed to misread my statement !! I said "external" terrorist groups =
not the internal ones like Basq Sepratist Group, or IRA or Sinn Fein or =
any of those which hit their own governament for whatever reasons there =
might be.

you are a victim of your own media !! why dont you make a column in this =
regard and write down the the number of deaths of civilians on any given =
day !! for the past 52 years and find a day when Israel's casualties =
were more than the palestinian casualties (you wont be able to find it). =
And then add them up and you will figure out that palestinian side =
suffered many times more than israel. Well..... Russian missile?? when =
did that happen?? when did the palestinians got those kind of weapons?? =
Do you think that stone throwing crowd should be met with bullets?? do =
you think that Police stations (which is civilian organization) should =
be hit with missiles and term it as a military target?? what are you =
talking about ?? F16s vs stone throwers?? or the Tanks vs the mothers =
who have come to streets to find their children?? In the past 11 months =
of intifada ...... more than 300 kids of less than 15 years of age died =

baby a terrorist?? what about 0.5 million premature deaths because of =

deaths.

"Quest for Justice"=20
By Judith Stone=20
I am a Jew. I was a participant in the Rally for the Right of Return to =
Palestine. It was the right thing to do. I've heard about the European =
holocaust against the Jews since I was a small child. I've visited the =
memorials in Washington, DC and Jerusalem dedicated to Jewish lives lost =
and I've cried at the recognition to what level of atrocity mankind is =
capable of sinking. Where are the Jews of conscience?=20
No righteous malice can be held against the survivors of Hitler's =
holocaust. These fragments of humanity were in no position to make =
choices beyond that of personal survival. We must not forget that being =
a survivor or a co-religionist of the victims of the European Holocaust =
does not grant dispensation from abiding by the rules of humanity. =
"Never again" as a motto, rings hollow when it means "never again to us =
alone."=20
My generation was raised being led to believe that the biblical land was =
a vast desert inhabited by a handful of impoverished Palestinians living =
with their camels and eking out a living in the sand. The arrival of the =
Jews was touted as a tremendous benefit to these desert dwellers. Golda =
Mier even assured us that there "is no Palestinian problem."=20
We know now this picture wasn't as it was painted. Palestine was a land =
filled with people who called it home. There were thriving towns and =
villages, schools and hospitals. There were Jews, Christians and =
Muslims. In fact, prior to the occupation, Jews represented a mere 7 =
percent of the population and owned 3 percent of the land. Taking the =
blinders off for a moment, I see a second atrocity perpetuated by the =
very people who should be exquisitely sensitive to the suffering of =
others.=20
These people knew what it felt like to be ordered out of your home at =
gunpoint and forced to march into the night to unknown destinations or =
face execution on the spot. The people who displaced the Palestinians =
knew firsthand what it means to watch your home in flames, to surrender =
everything dear to your heart at a moment's notice. Bulldozers leveled =
hundreds of villages, along with the remains of the village inhabitants, =
the old and the young.! This was nothing new to the world.=20
Poland is a vast graveyard of the Jews of Europe. Israel is the final =
resting place of the massacred Palestinian people. A short distance=20
from the memorial to the Jewish children lost to the holocaust in Europe =
there is a leveled parking lot. Under this parking lot is what's left of =
a once flourishing village and the bodies of men, women and children =
whose only crime was taking up needed space and not leaving graciously.=20
This particular burial marker reads: "Public Parking". I've talked with =
Palestinians. I have yet to meet a Palestinian who hasn't lost a member =
of their family to the Israeli Shoah, nor a Palestinian who cannot name =
a relative or friend languishing under inhumane conditions in an Israeli =
prison. Time and time again, Israel is cited for human rights violations =
to no avail.=20
On a recent trip to Israel, I visited the refugee camps inhabited by a =
people who have waited 52 years in these 'temporary' camps to go home.=20
Every Palestinian grandparent can tell you the name of their village, =
their street, and where the olive trees were planted. Their =
grandchildren may never have been home, but they can tell you where =
their great grandfather lies buried and where the village well stood. =
The press has fostered the portrait of the Palestinian terrorist. But, =
the victims who rose up against human indignity in the Warsaw Ghetto are =
called heroes. Those who lost their lives are called martyrs.=20
The Palestinian who tosses a rock in desperation is a terrorist. Two =
years ago I drove through Palestine and watched intricate sprinkler=20
systems watering lush green lawns of Zionist settlers in their new =
condominium complexes, surrounded by armed guards and barbed wire in the =
midst of a Palestinian community where there was not adequate water to =
drink and the surrounding fields were sandy and dry. University =
professor Moshe Zimmerman reported in the Jerusalem Post (April =
30,1995), "The [Jewish] children of Hebron are just like Hitler's youth. =
"=20
We Jews are suing for restitution, lost wages, compensation for homes, =
land, slave labor and back wages in Europe. Am I a traitor of a Jew for =
supporting the right of return of the Palestinian refugees to their =
birthplace and compensation for what was taken that cannot be=20
returned?=20
The Jewish dead cannot be brought back to life and neither can the =
Palestinian massacred be resurrected. David Ben Gurion said, "Let us not =
ignore the truth among ourselves... politically, we are the aggressors =
and they defend themselves...The country is theirs, because they inhabit =
it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we =
want to take away from them their country..."=20
Palestine is a land that has been occupied and emptied of its people. =
It's cultural and physical landmarks have been obliterated and replaced =
by tidy Hebrew signs. The history of a people was the first thing =
eradicated by the occupiers. The history of the indigenous people (only =
52 years old) has been all but eradicated as though they never existed.=20
And all this has been hailed by the world as a miraculous act of God. We =
must recognize that Israel's existence is not even a question of =
legality so much as it is an illegal fait accompli realized through the =
use of force while supported by the Western powers. The UN missions =
directed at Israel in attempting to correct its violations of have thus =
far been futile.=20
In Hertzl's "The Jewish State," the father of Zionism said, "...We must =
investigate and take possession of the new Jewish country by means of =
every modern expedient."=20
We cannot continue to say, "But what were we to do?" Zionism is not =
synonymous with Judaism. I wholly support the rally of the right of =
return of the Palestinian people.
Its time for my classes now !! just in short !! dont think that I am in =
anyway endorsing what had happened !! I am strongly against it !! but I =
am just telling you.... that your governament poke nose in a lot of =
dirty stuff outside your country !! and thats is why ..... you have made =
some people who hate you more than they love their life !!!=20
