@loefingstonn Im with ya bro, Albert Pike as far as my research shows me, was the first to come up with the 3 world war plan. 2 world wars then create a state of Israel, and hold that chess piece back, until the big war, the christians , against the muslims. (its going to be US, Britain, Europe, and other countries we control, against China, Russia, India. "whoever controls the middle east, controls the world."

Let's be clear. First there was Herzl's 19th c Zionist ideology, then the dubious collaboration between Zionists leaders and Nazis to "rid" Europe of its jewish inhabitants to what was to be a future, unilaterally proclaimed Jewish State in Palestine -- destroying a people who had *nothing* to do with WWII. This on the basis of, and bolstered by, ridiculous claims to biblical myths ...

And here Palestine has been slowly destroyed by oligarch-backed Zionist regional ambition. A true tragedy.

The PLO correspondent in Lebanon is absolutely right. The basis of UN Res 181, as devastating and unfair as it was to Palestinians, was that Jews and Native Palestinians should have equal rights to self-determination.

That we should be haggling, today, over 700 new jewish settlements, here, the demolition of countless homes, there, is totally beside the point! We've been treated to 60+ years of extremely sophisticated disinformation, which has derailed the issue of Palestinian's rights!

Demographics don't lie Jews in the US better see their policies do not help Israel. Will you be a democracy; it will not be a Jewish state forever. The Arabs will catch up and Jews are not going to Israel they are leaving.
