Jonathan, Please don’t get your dander
up. Why would you assume evil of me and have to resist the urge to think that
I meant These Palestinians are so
despicable that even their own neighbors hate them and don’t want
them.” I want to know why
their kindly Arab neighbors are keeping the poor Palestinians in refugee camps
instead of allowing them to assimilate into the surrounding Arab
countries. Can you answer that? Please also be aware that there is more
than one viewpoint in the world about the history of Palestine. http://www.israelnewsagency.com/palestinianhistoryprisrael120395.html Izzy From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jonathan Hughes Not sure what you are asking Izzy. I
want to give you the benefit of the doubt so I am trying not to think that you
are saying, “These Palestinians are so despicable that even their own
neighbors hate them and don’t want them.” Please tell me this
is not the meaning of your question. I will demonstrate that the
surrounding countries have taken them in in large numbers. Lots of
countries do have the Palestinians as refugees. The refugee problem is so
large these countries are having a very difficult time taking care of them: Table: Palestinian

Arab countries do not want the Palestinians? Izzy From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jonathan Hughes Izzy is on the right track here; her
question immediately debunks the clip posted below. Lets go a bit
farther. If we were going to take this article seriously (which we should
but not because of the authors intent but because of the completely unchristian
action/thought it espouses) it would be far more likely that the storms are
battering the United States FOR its support of Israel, not for its minor
attempts at getting Israel to reform and stop its crimes against
humanity. I know it may sound crazy but God actually died for Arabs
too. A little critical thinking and this clip is easily refuted.
All of use are guilty of making this kind of argument at some point in our
lives. All one needs is a cause that they take seriously. It could
be anything. Then we take any sign of judgment, like weather patterns,
and apply it as a sign to verify and validate our cause. In this case it
is that the If one wants to do some more critical
thinking on this matter I would suggest the following websites: www.hrw.org
– Human Rights Watch. Highly recommended site. Spend time
there everyday. Find out what is actually happening around the
world. Ignorance is not bliss! www.amnesty.org
– Amnesty International. Click on the map on the right hand side near

– Click on http://www.coldtype.net/Assets.04/Essays.04/Truth_Eng.pdf
- Good discussion from both points of view. Worth reading. Reading
anything on www.coldtype.net is
interesting. You may not agree with some of it but it will make you think
and begin to wrestle with the issues at hand. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00008O35S/qid=1095010245/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-5303035-4559105?v=glance&s=dvd
Rent or buy this documentary entitled “Gaza Strip”. It will blow
you away – guaranteed. Remember it is to the unfortunate that we
are to direct our help, our lives, our hopes. To be fully Christian is to
be fully human. Find out where people are being de-humanized and help
them. It will hurt, it will cause you a lot of suffering, but it will end
theirs. These are the real storms. Pray against these. Jonathan From:
