Israel and Palestine

A magnificent Palestinian Empire already existed when Moses led the tribes of Israel from Egypt into Sinai. The subsequent Jewish Empires of David and Solomon (regarded by the Muslims as Islamic Empires) were always at loggerheads with the Palestinians who have maintained their national identity over the millennia, although many of them converted to Christianity and Islam. The Palestinians are a freedom loving people who have become aliens and refugees in their own homeland, thanks to the torch bearers of freedom and democracy such as USA and UK.

The thorn in the Israeli psyche is their refusal to accept a minority status. They became unpopular all over the world because wherever they settled, they formed Jewish enclaves and tried to become a local majority imposing their own customs and ideology on others. They also led the money lending trade with all its attendant corruption. However, all Jews are not Israelis. There are still many good Jews living in all parts of the world who would not even dream of forcibly occupying the property of others.

Whereas the Jewish faith has all the paraphernalia of a religion, it contradicts its universality by insisting on its racial uniqueness. Ideologies always transcend racial, cultural and geographical boundaries. The bitter truth is that Israelism is just a fad like Nazism and Fascism. How long it will last depends on how well it can serve the purposes of others. European and specially Eastern European nations can change the course of history to a better direction by offering incentives to Jews trapped in Israel to return to their original homelands.

When the sympathizers of Palestinians see Israelis firing rockets on unarmed Palestinians from an American built helicopter, they hold everyone who was involved in the production of that helicopter, its components, the rockets and the explosives as a party to the gruesome murders. They see traces of Palestinian blood on the hands of every American and most other Westerners. So they attack them wherever they find them vulnerable. The war on terror will never end as it has created an unending vendetta.
