Support Paradise Now: Unworthy of Your Precious Signature?

17Feb06

Sometimes, I lose hope in us, for God’s sake people it’s an online petition and all we managed to get is 71 signatures only?? compared to 18, 146 signatures against the movie!

You think this is not important? you think your signature is insignificant or what? they are contacting people from inside of the academy while we, as usual, take things lightly, as always apathetic as if Palestine is in Europe. Are we on drugs or something?

Well excuse me, but we have more than 50 blogs in Jordanplanet only, if every blogger circulated this and brought only 3 that would be 150 in one day. I know a good percentage of us are literally Internat illeterate but I bet on my life, many of those who use the Internet everyday did not bother with this.

I don’t know when will we sober, oh well, one day we will I’m sure I just hope we will wake up by our will and not forced by a bombing somewhere.

    I have just signed the petition and thanks Shaden for the info. Do not be upset of the low level of signatures. It is a trade mark of Arab civil movements. Most of us do not see a value in supporting a film but most of the zionists will see a great value in stopping it. If it was a competition for star Academy you would have seen millions signing. This is our shallow mindness whenever it comes to civilized forms of collective expression.

    Oh, you think I didn’t do that Hamzeh?

    LOL, ok I thought that just in case you didn’t, I wanted to remind you. I sent an email to my friends too and especially to my little cousins who keep sending me forwards all the time, maybe they’ll forward this one.

    I swear I get so many forwards from the same people who are always my little cousins and some of my friends, it’s like their daily ritual to forward all the emails they get. One friend even told me he forwards emails without even looking in them. If they say “FW:” in the title he just forwards them LOL :D

    If you were to carefully read joan peters’ “from time immemorial” you would understand the real story. check out that photo of arafat’s uncle haj husseini, the mufti of jerusalem whom the british appointed around 1920…who’s he sitting with?? yep, the leader of nazi germany.

    not good enough for you? how about http://www.israelnationalnews.com the article about hamas saying that they drink the blood of jews.

    still not enough? ok, try reading your favorite book, the koran, where it talks about jersalem and israel being the land of the jews.

    not satisfied? all right, read carefully the holy torah that was not only given to moses at mt. sinai but was witnessed by approx. 3 million people 3300 years ago. uh, this is way way way before your guy mohammed showed up and tried to distort the hebrew bible making ishmael the focus. how do you figure that you can get away with such utter distortion?
    (let’s look at those dates: mohammed ~1300 years ago, the torah ~3300 years ago….hmmm?)

    and then, you hilariously claim,(you guys really oughta do standup) that the temple mount in jerusalem never belonged to israel or the jews…yeah, you’re too busy digging up ancient artifacts and trying to destroy them.

    and you admit it yourself in your distorted history, let’s say about l964 or so when (check “from time immemorial”) where you come up with the artificial construct of “palestiinian”. which of course used to refer to the jews who lived in “palestine”…

    now where did that all start?: ok, when the romans destroyed jerusalem in 70 c.e., they tried to erase any jewish identity associated with it, so they renamed the country “palestina” (philistine), after the agean folks who migrated there from their islands. the “pelishtim” (hebrew pron.) were an agean people who showed up on the coast. remember david, the king of israel? he showed them what’s up. just like israel will show you. just wait and see.

    the funny thing is, really, that all of your distortion, lies and violence will only turn back on you in the long run. and it’s gonna hurt. real bad. real real bad.

    the sad thing is all the good hearted people who think they’re sympathizing with the “poor” arabs, they’re getting taken along for a terrible ride.

    oh, yeah. you might want to also read “this land is my land” by rabbi chaim kramer. he gives a very detailed account of the biblical history of the land of ISRAEL, yep, i’ll say it again

    I-S-R-A-E-L !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    so, really, you guys have a choice. you can keep listening to the distorters and liars like your buddies chomsky, said, and whomever else. or, you can really investigate the actual true history.

    did you know that mohammed and his son omar were responsible for wiping out all the jews who lived in the arabian peninsula? uh huh. there were lots of jews there. but, too bad for them, they didn’t accept islam, so they were brutally murdered. how do you think islam got to be so poplular?? hey, it wasn’t from handing out free chocolate.

    yes, yes, i know, you have people who will scream up and down that the joan peters book is a fraud or whatever else they say. i read said’s rebuttal . it didn’t hold one drop of agua. not one.

    may i say one thing to the pitiful jews who read this, who love the arabs way too much?
    please return to your true souls. then you can have a good effect on your arab brothers by re-educating them to the truth about the jewish people and the land of ISRAEL(does it bug you when i capitalize it?, good.)

    gee, i hope i didn’t offend you too much. some times the truth really hurts. but ya got ta hear it sooner or later.

    there are other sources for intelligent, accurate articles on the subject. try aish.com, standwithus.com( and see their links too), zoa.org(uh, that is ZIONIST organization of america, yup i said your favorite word in the whole world boys and girls, repeat after me:

    Z-I-O-N-S-T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    now, you might want to know, just what is “zionist”. weellll, it comes from “zion” or “tzion” in hebrew, and it refers to the land of israel, jerusalem, the temple mount and the jewish people. you can read it in the torah or the book of psalms.

    it’s actually a beautiful word with an important message.

    one day, and G-d, the Master and Creator and Sustainer of the entire universe, promises all of us, that one day everyone will understand this. even the moslems. even the people who have fallen for the dreadful lie of “palestine”.

    well, i know this has not been an easy read for you. but, if you’ve read down this far there’s hope. hopefully you will do your own extensive research from reliable sources.( and that does not mean the unfortunate jews who have turned their backs on their own people and on the truth, one is the p.m. right now)

    by the way. the jews and israel have never, ever, ever said that they want to destroy islam or the arab people. we have no problem with you practicing your religion, going to mecca. having, what is it, about 22 countries. nope. we have no problem with that. in case you haven’t noticed, we dont’ do suicide murders.

    all we want, deserve, and will obtain is our ancient sacred land that was promised to us by the Creator and Master and Sustainer of the universe. that is the bibilcal boundaries of ancient israel. why? because the Creator has a plan for all of humanity for peace and tranquility. and guess what??? we’re not trying to make the whole world jewish. (unlike the christians or the moslems). we only want our little piece of land that we are supposed to have to do the service of G-d that we’re supposed to do.

    and guess what? no matter what you do, for however long you think you can do it. you will not succeed. nope. never. no way. ain’t gonna happen. why?

    because G-d has another idea. check the sources people. waaaayyyy before islam there was and is a truth that is indestructible. and a people that is indestructible.

    and you may find this very hard to accept: we, israel, are not interested in destroying you at all. (gee, does that bother you?) we simply endeavor to do what we’re supposed to do, on the land that is ours….and, for those of you who think the land is or was yours. let me tell you.: read “from time immemorial”, read the real sources. find out the real history.

    if you want, you can follow m.k. benny elon’s “right road to peace” ….it makes jordan the “palestinian” state… how about that? you can have a state if you like.

    my advice to you? what goes around comes around. stop killing jews and trying to destroy israel. you can always change your evil ways and come back to good.

    G-d don’t like ugly.
