So, let me get this straight:
You tear my veil to free me
You jail me to rid me of my terror
You kill my beloved to liberate me
You shoot my baby to erase my misery
You starve me to show me how to vote
You threaten me to bring me to my senses
You wage war on me to help me find peace
You slay my people to teach me compassion
You humiliate me to aid me live with dignity
You insult me to illustrate freedom of speech
You crush my bones to save me from my evil
You demolish my home to elevate my morality
You torture my children to teach me how to love
You uproot my tree to raise my ethical standard
You steal my resources to bring me social justice
You assassinate my leaders to bring me democracy
You destroy my history to educate me about progress
You dehumanise me to coach me into humanity
You bomb my town to train me into security
You wipe me out to push me to civilisation
You scorn my faith to bring me salvation

Thank you sir

How can I -ever- pay you back?

It is time that the Arab and world leaders must come to understand that the zionist programme has no intention of changing its inherent character. The talk about swapping of land in the West Bank and abandoning the refugees’ Right of Return, that even some Arab leaders, are putting forward, will not bring peace.

Ahmed Amr brings forward here and demolishes the myth of the Jews being one people wishing to return to their homeland. The Ashkenazi Jews, who constitute the vast majority of today’s Jews are of Khazar and European ancestry and have no ancestral connection with Palestine, as confirmed in many scientific studies. This makes the so-called Israeli “Law of Return” a baseless contention.

It has to be remebered that the Palestinian people, who are the descendents of the Canaanites and Jebusites and other tribes that lived in this land since history began, are the only truly indigenous people of Palestine. The testimony of the late Professor Maxime Rodinson, of the Sorbonne University in Paris, and who is Jewish, confirms that. He stated: ” The Arab Population of Palestine was native in all the senses of the word, and their roots in Palestine can be traced back at least forty centuries.” ["Israel and the Arabs" 1968].
