Sands of Sorrow - 1950: The reality of Palestinian-Israeli History

Vatic Note:  This needs no vatic note as it truly speaks for itself.   Sometimes history goes a long way in explaining many things.... it especially highlights the lies told for decades.  Check this out and decide for yourself.  Remember, whatever lack of humanity you see there, will be sure to be visited upon us here.  After all, guess who runs our country??? The same creatures that did this shown in the article below and who also ran Russia after the revolution.    Just keep Germany in mind as well.  Long history of inhumanity.

There is an astonishing amount of ignorance about the basic facts of the so-called Arab-Israeli conflict.

This footage was shot in the late 1940s to educate the public about the plight of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who had been made homeless as a result of the violence and intimidation that accompanied the founding of the state of Israel.

What most Palestinians thought would be a temporary dislocation lasting only a few weeks at most became permanent. Homeless with just the clothes on their backs, they were left in the desert without food, water, and medical care to die.

Israel condemns Norway's upgrade of Palestinian standing in Oslo to 'diplomatic delegation'

Vatic Note: This is not the only country that is recognizing Palestine. Bolivia just announced its decision to recognize the country also by its 1967 borders and now they both join venezuela, Cuba, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay; more than half of S. America. Its long past due and Brazil finally spoke up saying the US should not be taking the lead on this issue due to Israels' undue influence in this nation. I agree with them on that issue. They don't have influence here, they run the country. We better hurry up too, the settlers just burned a palestinian farmers sheep ALIVE  .... barbarians. Truly, who are these people anyway? They are not like any Russians I ever heard about.   Its about time the rest of the world put this issue to rest the way they have by recognizing them as a separate state.

Foreign Ministry official warns that Palestinians won't want to renew peace talks with Israel if they start attaining political goals without negotiations.
By Barak Ravid , Haaretz.com, Dec 16, 2010

Israel harshly condemned Norway on Thursday for upgrading the standing of the Palestinian representation in Oslo from a 'general delegation' to a 'diplomatic delegation'.

Naor Gilon, who heads the Western Europe division at the Foreign Ministry, summoned the Norwegian chargé d’affaires in Tel Aviv for a conversation, telling him the Norwegian move is not acceptable and is a step that will harm the peace process.

"If the Palestinians start thinking that they can achieve political accomplishments without negotiations with Israel, they will never renew peace talks," Gilon told the Norwegian diplomat.

The Norwegian envoy said that in contrast to media reports, Norway has not recognized a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders and the upgrading the standing of the Palestinian delegation in Oslo is simply a symbolic move without any practical consequences.

Over the past four months several countries have upgraded the standing of Palestinian representatives. The first country to have done so was none other than the United States. After the U.S., France, Spain, and Portugal also took similar steps. Despite this, the Foreign Ministry has yet to condemn these moves until now.


In the last two weeks more significant developments have occurred when several South American countries declared their recognition of a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders. The first was Brazil, and Argentina and Uruguay followed.

Bolivia is also expected to recognize an independent Palestinian state in the coming days, after Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas spoke with Bolivian President Evo Morales regarding the subject.

Israel's New Land Grab Master Plan

Vatic Note:  Now these are the people in control of our government.   We can not imagine what they may well have planned for us once they get complete and total control of us through our land, food and water.  Just read below and understand that we have no choice in this matter on our options.  The barbarians are not at the gate,  they are in control of the government. 

Israel's New Land Grab Master Plan

The new Jerusalem Master Plan calls for expanding Jewish neighborhoods in East Jerusalem, "a move largely based on construction on privately owned Arab property," meaning Palestinians will be removed to accommodate them.

The new plan updates older ones, going back to the first, what Israeli historian Ilan Pappe documented in his 2006 book, "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, " on David Ben-Gurion's Plan D (Dalet in Hebrew), his final master plan following Plans A, B and C, what Palestinians call the Nakba, the catastrophe, commemorated annually to never forget.     By bombarding and besieging villages and population centers, destroying communities, and expelling or killing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, it planned an exclusive Jewish state, excluding Arabs by any means, including mass-murder, dispossession, and persecution, ongoing to this day, what Palestinians heroically resist.

It took six months to complete, expelling or slaughtering about 800,000 people, and destroying 531 villages and 11 urban neighborhoods in Tel-Aviv, Haifa, Jerusalem and other cities. It was barbarous ethnic cleansing, Palestinians shown no mercy, including women and children, yet it was just the beginning, much more yet to come, including new ethnic cleaning plans.

This is what Peaceful Resistance looks like ! Pals are amazing.

Vatic Note:  This is what Peaceful Resistance looks like.  Non cooperation at any cost is the most difficult for those assigned to do the dirty work of repressing people.   What happens is the tyrants lose thier minions and enforcers because they will not harm unarmed peaceful citizens like themselves and their families.   Israeli leaders are beginning to have some serious problems with their own people like we should be doing.  Becoming the bankers and foreign occupiers worst nightmare by peacefully refusing to cooperate on any laws they refuse to follow.   Example:  Wall street does not pay taxes if they don't feel like it,  well, then so should we and receive the same treatment as required under the law... as those who are in the elite.  Its worth testing.  Watch the video and we can practice by watching it once in a while to see what they did and how they succeeded.

Palestinian, Israeli and international demonstrators managed to stop the construction of the Wall in the village of alWalaja, south of Jerusalem for the second time this week. If completed, the path of the Wall in the area will surround the village completely, isolating it from all its lands, the cities of Bethlehem and Jerusalem and essentially the rest of the world.

HOLOCAUST: Germany 1940 vs. Israel 2009

Vatic Note:   These are put up to always remind us how the horrors of WW II happened and to remind us that we must never let that happen again.   While our own lives are a mess right now in this country, at least we are not under attack at the same level these people are right now.   Israel's military has just entered into Gaza and we have no idea what is going on in there as we see these photos to remind us what probably is going on in there.   You would think with their memories they would be the first ones to abhor this behavior, but then,  who knows anymore.  The pics on the left side are of Nazi Germany and the camp prisoners, and on the right Palestinians who are now in a giant concentration camp.   If you wish to see better pictures than these,   simply hit on the link below, they are bigger and better quality,  but they had to be shown so I put them up anyway.

Normally pictures speak a thousand words but in this case, especially with a guy like me who loves to talk, these pictures leave me utterly speechless!

Israel faults troops in two fatal W.Bank incidents

Vatic Note:  While this is a step in the right direction,  its still far from the reality on the ground of what happens there daily.   An international independant investigation into this should be done but not if the results are going to be ignored like the Goldstone report.   One more time of Israel violating international law and the country will need to be designated a "ROGUE NATION"  and treated as such.  That is who should get all the embargo's and boycotts and then if they continue to be taken to task by the entire world.
Its an option in our people to people initiative for tactics, that is coming to soon, watch for them as they begin to come out for your input.  

Title:   Israel faults troops in two fatal W.Bank incidents

http://www.reuters.com/assets/print?aid=USTRE6352PS20100406
By:   Reuters - Staff report
Date:   April 6, 2010

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Unnecessary intervention by Israeli troops in a West Bank protest last month resulted in the deaths of two Palestinian youths, according to an internal investigation by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).


And more professional conduct by troops in an incident in the same vicinity on the following day might have avoided at least one further fatal shooting, the IDF report said.

The findings were summarized in an IDF statement on Tuesday in response to a query by Reuters. It is unusual for the army to criticize its troops publicly.
