Palestine Before its Rape by Zionists

A street in West Jerusalem before the founding of Israel in 1948.

The Zionists have fooled the world with their lies that Palestine was empty and completely undeveloped until it was invaded by the Jews in 1948! “A land without a people for a people without land” is the slogan of Jewish propaganda to justify the rape of Palestine.

Palestine was not an empty piece of land before Israel. It was a country. It had a vibrant society with cities, airports, schools, colleges, theaters, concerts, newspapers, culture and administrative institutions. Just like neighboring Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt. The Palestinians were an ordinary people with an ordinary country, rising from under 400 years of Turkish occupation. They had hopes for freedom and independence.

The photo above depicts a street in West Jerusalem before the founding of Israel in 1948. The image is available on the Library of Congress website under the title, "Princess Mary Street with Rex Cinema in background, West Jerusalem." It is identified as having been taken by the Matson Photo Service sometime between 1940 and 1946.

The crooks of the British Mandate named the street Princess Mary Street, before the Zionists changed it to Shlomzion Hamalka Street.

It belongs to a vast collection of photographs called the "Matson (G. Eric and Edith) Photograph Collection," which consists of photos taken across Palestine between 1898 and 1946.

Rex Cinema Movie Poster

The Rex Cinema served as an iconic gathering place for Palestinians during the contentious period of the British Mandate which promised independence to both the indigenous Palestinian people and the invading hordes of European terrorists.

In May 1939, the first of two main terror attacks was launched by the Jewish terrorist Irgun  organization against the theater. A second terrorist bombing by the Irgun took place during the violence that followed the announcement of the U.N. Partition Plan in 1947. The Irgun claimed responsibility for the destruction of the Rex Cinema. The invading colonialist Jews formed many terrorist organizations like the Irgun – Lehi group, Stern Gang, the Haganah… - that would later coalesce to form the nucleus of the Israeli army we know of today.

Clipping from "The Palestine Post" dated June 2, 1939

The neighborhood of Mamilla, where the street photo above was taken, sits almost directly on the border between East and West Jerusalem, about a 20-minute walk from Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Western Wall, two of the holiest places for the Muslim and Jewish communities.

Note that Palestine, like many of its neighboring countries, had a small Jewish community, mostly refugees from the pogroms in Russia and Eastern Europe or pilgrims visiting the holy sites. According to most censuses taken around the turn of the century, there were 500,000-600,000 Palestinians and 10,000-15,000 Jews living in Palestine.

Israel in three simple quotes

It would have been more logical to create a Jewish state in Europe. The Palestinians were not guilty of what the Europeans did. If someone should have paid the price for the tragedy, it should have been the Europeans, most notably the Germans. But not the Palestinians. Shlomo Sand

 

Why should these Palestinians who had lived in Jerusalem for centuries be expelled out of their homes so that Jews from Brooklyn could live there? Norman Finkelstein

 

Zionism is very particular form of colonialism. It does not want to enslave a people, it wants to expel it; it is a nationalism that has invented a people, a language, and a land; simple as that! It is a gigantic mythification of Jewish history and identities. Pierre Stambul

Time for the West to Declare the Jewish Settler Movement a Terrorist Organization

Punishing these racist, God-crazy, Torah-thumping criminals with denial of entry visas to the US is a joke. 

These mad and often fake Jews, whose reference is the fictional trash of the Torah, are killing people. Isn't this what fundamentalist God-crazy Koran-citing criminal Islamists had done to deserve the "terrorist" label? 

Why the double-standard? Are Jews infallible and out of reach of human justice?

The entire human global system of concertation to avoid wars, based on universal and applicable-to-everyone principles of equality, justice, and fairness, is crumbling before our eyes. The UN should be disbanded: It is useless when the nuclear bullies make the decisions.

What dictatorship or theocracy will now be deterred from mass-murdering entire nations and minorities? They will make up a pretext and commit Israel-like atrocities, fearing no repercussions and citing Israel's freewheeling savagery on Gaza as a precedent. The Burmese dictatorship and the Rohyngas; Putin and Ukraine; China and the Uighurs, etc. This is the club that Israel has joined without suffering any reproach or being held to account.

If the world continues on this trajectory, we will soon enter another episode of humanity's history of madness, cruelty and wars....After which, maybe, if no nuclear or mass destruction weapons are used, the world may come back together in a brief instant out of fear and horror and into hope.

Israel is leading the world into such a scenario, simply because it is beyond the reach of justice.

Netanyahu Proud to Have Undermined Two-State Solution

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday that he was “proud” to have prevented the establishment of a Palestinian state, putting him at odds with what for decades has been the policy priority of his poodle, the United States, for the region.

But we all know that it is the tail that is wagging the dog. It is by now evident that Israel controls US policy, when the US does Israel's bidding like a faithful dog, even in the face of Israel's flagrant commission of war crimes, abhorrent violations of humanitarian laws and the laws of war. Biden keeps evading answers as to why the US does not dare challenge Israel on its horrific conduct of its war against Palestine.

"I’m proud that I prevented the establishment of a Palestinian state" Netanyahu said at a news conference.

Netanyahu also took aim at the Palestinian Authority, the governing authority in Palestinian-controlled areas of the West Bank. He described the Oslo Accords ― the 1993 diplomatic agreements between Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization that led to the creation of the Palestinian Authority ― as a “mistake,” and said he had “inherited” the agreements.

Reaction to the liar war criminal Netanyahu’s remarks was swift.

“So all those promises to world leaders about his commitment to a two-state solution were a bunch of lies,” Martin Indyk, the United States’ former ambassador to Israel, wrote on X, “And all those enablers who swore Bibi was serious about peace have some [e]xplaining to do.”

The United States has for decades prioritized the “two-state solution,” which would involve the creation of a sovereign Palestinian state, facilitated by various land swaps and other concessions from both sides. U.S. President Joe Biden has repeatedly called for a two-state solution in recent months. But it is clear now that the US is either a complete dummy in the hands of its pupetteer Israel, or has been in collusion with it, lying to the world about promoting a two-state solution and doing nothing other than issuing deceptive statements and putting cosmetic pressure on Israel. Even as the Jewish terrorists, a.k.a. the God-crazy fanatic settlers and their Israeli army accessories, are rampaging across the occupied West Bank, killing people and stealing land, a visibly powerless US has for the first time applied a tepid pressure on Israel by denying entry visas to a handful of the Jewish terrorists. What an achievement!

“As we strive for peace, Gaza and the West Bank should be reunited under a single governance structure, ultimately under a revitalized Palestinian Authority, as we all work toward a two-state solution,” the senile and manipulated liar Biden wrote in The Washington Post on Nov. 18. Yeah! Sure!

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) characterized Netanyahu’s comments as a “direct response” to Biden’s calls for a two-state solution.

“[Netanyahu] has continued to weaken the Palestinian Authority — this is the organization that recognized Israel’s right to exist decades and decades ago,” Van Hollen said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.” “Instead of trying to find peace or at least preventing the conditions on the ground from changing with additional settlements to allow a two-state solution, he has shut the door on that effort.”

Netanyahu and others in Israel’s Jewish Fascist governing coalition have for years supported the expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, a major obstacle to any peace talks. Hundreds of thousands of Israelis now live on land that is considered by the international law and by the vast majority of the international community to be part of the Palestinian state. In 2019, Netanyahu claimed to have told then-President Donald Trump, the other demented American numskull, that he would not agree to evacuate “a single person” from Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Earlier this year, he reportedly said during a meeting with lawmakers that Israel needed to “crush” Palestinian ambition for an independent state.

So what gives? If there is no Palestinian state to be, then what is this criminal going to do with the resident 6 million Palestinians, not to mention that many more millions of expatriate Palestinians waiting in refugee camps? The only obvious answer is that the criminal rogue state of Israel is planning to expel most, if not all, of the Palestinians of Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Having miserably flunked at achieving his stated objective in Gaza, namely to rescue the Israeli prisoners from Hamas's hands, with the stupid killing by his soldiers of three of these prisoners, Netanyahu’s remarks Saturday "appear to be trying to change the subject", said The New York Times. Netanyahu's future is doomed as he had been under investigation for corruption prior to October 7, and had been facing a domestic uprising for trying to clamp down on Israel's High Court in order to evade punishment.

Israel has killed nearly 20,000 Palestinians with air strikes and a ground invasion, and has displaced millions of Palestinians within Gaza.

Netanyahu and his terrorist allies in his government have made statements in support of Hamas over the years. As prime minister, Netanyahu has provided millions of dollars to Gaza through Qatar. His minister of finance, the racist terrorist-in-chief Bezalel Smotrich said in 2015: “The Palestinian Authority is a burden, and Hamas is an asset.”Which means that Israel has been propping Hamas to undermine the Palestinian Authority and thus abort any chances of a Palestinian state. With Hamas's attack on October 7, Netanyahu and his terrorist supremacist government have seen their dream come true: To ethnically cleanse Gaza, then the West Bank and East Jerusalem, remove all the Palestinians and create a Jewish-only supremacist theocracy. That is why they continue pushing the 2.3 million Palestinians of Gaza toward the Egyptian border, with a view ast expelling them into the Sinai. If Egypt continues to oppose this transfer of population, the CIA and the Mossad will put the Sissi regime in jeopardy and replace it with a more compliant regime that can be bought up to accept the Palestinian refugees.

Netanyahu himself did say in 2019 that “whoever opposes a Palestinian state must support the delivery of funds to Gaza, because maintaining separation between the PA in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza will prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state.”

 

Anti-Palestinian Repression on the Rise in the US

Any speech that does not conform with official US government narrative is immediately punished. That is what totalitarian regimes do, and the US has become just another totalitarian Gulag. 

Big Brother Biden has partnered with the Zionist lobbies to repress any speech that is against the sacred cow Israel or that supports the 100-year old plight of the colonized people of Palestine at the hands of barbarian Europeans who use a 3,000 year old rag called the bible as a property deed with which to evict a millennial native indigenous people off their land and steal it from them.

The America that the world looked up to is no more. It has been degraded to a cesspool of one-sided hatred.

Americans are learning from the Zionists the art of repression of speech (90 journalists have so far been killed in direct sniper shots or in blind shelling in Palestine and Lebanon) and of conscience, and the fine art of collective punishment. The expulsion of a student from his high school because his mother expressed her opinion on social media reminds me of how the barbarian Israeli army of occupation demolishes the family home of every young man who threw a rock at a military vehicle. 

By the way, Fort Lauderdale in the abysmally mediocre state of Florida is a hotbed of white supremacist racism. I wonder of the high school in question has looked at the racist posts made by pro-Zionist students and staff who are probably behind the expulsion of the student. Note also the climate of fear Palestinians live under in the US: The student in question says he has always hidden his Palestinian identity, "because I never felt safe to say that I was Palestinian at Pine Crest School". Imagine how great the magnitude of repression and fear imposed by US authorities that forces people to hide their identity - IN THE AMERICA WE BRAG ABOUT TO THE WORLD AS THE REFUGE OF PERSECUTED PEOPLE.

An American student of Palestinian descent expelled from his high school because of his mother's pro-Palestinian posts on social media

Alaa Elassar, CNN
Fri, December 15, 2023

The Council on American-Islamic Relations has requested the US Department of Education investigate the expulsion of a Palestinian American high school student over pro-Palestinian content his mother posted on social media.

Jad Abuhamda, 15, was expelled on November 19 from the Pine Crest School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and his mother, Dr. Maha Almasri, was fired from her position as a math tutor at the school after she made posts criticizing Israel’s “collective brutality” against Palestinian civilians and children in Gaza during the ongoing war, CAIR said in a Wednesday news release.

The private school issued a statement saying they considered Almasri’s social media posts to be “hateful and incendiary,” which Almasri has denied.

“We viewed some of this individual’s posts — including, for example, an image of a soldier pointing a machine gun at an infant inside of an incubator and an image with commentary suggesting that some wanted to roast babies in an oven — as having the possibility of inciting hatred and creating a climate of fear,” Pine Crest School said. “Her behavior was also such that the School believed it could increase the risk of violence in our community and compromise the safety of our students, employees, and families.”

Almasri told CNN her posts were taken out of context and her son has been subjected to wrongful treatment.

CAIR Florida managing attorney Omar Saleh said during a Thursday news conference they have not received a response from the school to their letters requesting more information on why Jad was expelled. The school responded to CNN’s request for comment with a link to its news release.

“For these reasons, the Student Handbook and enrollment agreement make clear that if a parent engages in behavior that is ‘disruptive, intimidating, or overly aggressive’ or ‘interferes … with the School’s … safety procedures, responsibilities, or the accomplishment of its educational purpose or program,’ the School may take the action that it deems necessary to address the situation,” the school statement said.

CNN has independently viewed the social media posts, which discussed the mounting death toll of children in Gaza, the number of explosives dropped on Gaza, and the history of Palestinians who were violently expelled from Palestine in 1948 to form the state of Israel.

One of the photos the school alluded to is a cartoon graphic depicting an Israeli soldier pointing a gun at a baby in an incubator, a metaphorical reference to the premature babies at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, whose incubators stopped working when Israeli airstrikes cut off the generator powering the incubators. At least three of the babies died, according to previous CNN reporting.

Almasri says her posts were referring to the mounting humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where in response to Hamas’ October 7 attack that killed 1,200 people, Israel has launched a siege and war that has killed more than 18,700 Palestinians, 70% of whom are women and children, according to the Hamas-controlled health ministry in Gaza.

“None of my posts were inciting violence, they were merely shedding light on what was happening, the humanitarian crisis that was happening in Gaza,” Almasri said during a CAIR news conference Thursday. “It didn’t call for hate or violence or any of that. I feel that, again, criticizing a government or a set of people should not lead to any retaliation against that person who’s trying to express that and also take it upon themselves to also punish her child.”

Saleh said the group’s call for an investigation is about the expulsion of Jad, who Saleh says did not say or do anything to warrant the expulsion, as well as what CAIR described as inaccurate accusations regarding Almasri’s social media posts.

Jad, who is in 10th grade, has been unable to attend classes since November 19. The expulsion has interrupted his studies and college preparation, his mother told CNN, adding they now have to find a new school.

“He gets very depressed and withdrawn. He doesn’t know what to do with all this time,” Almasri told CNN. “He misses his friends a lot, he misses the school corridors, he misses everything. He’s trying to be strong, but he feels betrayed. At the end of the day, this is about expelling Jad for nothing he did.”

Jad, who was born and raised in Florida and grew up at the school, said he had always hidden his Palestinian identity until he was expelled as a result of his mother’s social media posts.

“Most people at Pine Crest had no idea that I was Palestinian, because I never felt safe to say that I was Palestinian at Pine Crest School,” Jad said. “Now that it’s out, it’s almost like a weight lifted off my chest … Now I feel that I can finally come out as who I am, which is a Palestinian kid who was wrongfully expelled by Pine Crest School.”

“Pine Crest School was my home, is a place where I was very comfortable, since 1st grade, since I was six years old,” Jad said during the news conference as he stood next to his mother.

“The friends I made there became family, even the people who I am not as close with there are still my community. They are the people I’ve seen every day of my life for the past 10 years. To have that taken away from me, for no reason at all, is heartbreaking,” he added. “I didn’t do anything at all.”

A petition started by an anonymous person calling for the school to reinstate Jad garnered more than 31,000 signatures in over two weeks and the family has received “overwhelming” support from community members, Almasri said.

“Think about the other Jads in that school and around,” said Abdullah Jaber, executive director of CAIR-Florida. “Our main concern is suppressing the right of Americans to express what they feel within their heart is to be decent human rights.”

The treatment of pro-Palestinians who speak up, Saleh said, is dangerously “one-sided” and the same discipline is not applied to those who post or make pro-Israeli commentary.

Both CAIR representatives and Almasri denied accusations her social media content condemning Israel’s actions in Gaza incited hatred or violence and instead advocated for the rights of Palestinians.

CAIR has recorded more than 2,171 requests for help and reports of anti-Muslim and anti-Arab bias in the nine weeks since October 7, including students and faculty being targeted for supporting Palestinian rights.

In Maryland, the advocacy group filed a discrimination complaint on behalf of a Black Muslim, Arab American teacher who was placed on administrative leave for her email signature, which included “from the river to the sea,” a controversial phrase supporting Palestinian rights. [Colonialist Zionist occupiers of Palestine can say that phrase, but their colonized Palestinian victims are not allowed to do so].

By requesting a DOE investigation into Jad’s expulsion and the accusations made against Almasri based on her posts, CAIR said it hopes to protect other Arabs, Muslims and pro-Palestinian people from receiving unfair punishment for condemning Israel’s actions.

CNN has reached out to the Department of Education for comment on the request.

“We have to get real. Speech because it’s sympathetic to Palestinians or because it’s critical to Israeli military or because it evokes a sense of conscience for humanity, it doesn’t make it antisemitic, it doesn’t make it anti-Jewish, it’s not disruptive and it’s not inciteful,” Saleh said. “You can wish peace to Israel and say free Palestine at the same time.”
