Have you been approached by this so called Anti-Zionist who come to you wanting to give you a tag and ask you to drop some money or gift in order to help the Palestinians...some do it by following you around almost embarrassingly! and even try to preach their belief to you...have you been approached? okay if you are approached what would you say to them so they will leave you alone? Me after this guy has followed me for a while I looked at him and said 'praise the Lord' he just melted and backed out! What would you do?

My first response would be to say that the Palestinians are a figament. The Arab nations tossed out all the folks that they did not want and called them "Palestinians" and then when the french and English divided up the lands that they had controlled for years!!! They formed Iraq and Jordan which was where the "Palestinians" were supposed to live and Israel etc. The Arabs did not want the Jews back in their midst even though Jews had always lived there~always. So they did the land grab thing and the Israelis beat them back. The Arabs never would let the "Palestinians have Jordan instead other Arabs took it over and put the "Palestinians"in camps. There were about 850,000 origionally in the camps. They were never absorbed into the communities around them or allowed to get jobs. Instead Isreal has to pay taxes and support them and now their children too. There were approxamately the same number of Jews kicked out to the new Arab territories at the same time. The ran to Israel. No money was given to them for the lands and homes and businesses that were stolen from them. The "Palestinians" had no land or real homes or businesses. They were living in slums before and still are. The "Palestinians" who stayed in Israel are now citizens with a Democratic vote, good homes, good schools, and health care. They live better than most of their Arab neighbors and they have the right to vote! Shalom~Adoniah

Adoniah, it is sad that you have no real concept of history. The "Arab nations" - aka the Ottoman empire, which was controlled by Turkey - lost a war and lost their land in that war. Palestine was part of that land. England temporarily seized control with every intent to give full power back to the people who were living on that land once a government could be formed. The majority of those people were Muslim Arabs. The Zionist movement went underway and thousands of European Jews began to move to Palestine and buy out land from the Palestinian people at prices their land lords could not refuse, kicking entire villages out. Even at the time of the UN partition plan, Jews were still the minority in Palestine, and amazingly were allotted over 50% of the land there. Also, amazingly enough, you seem to be degending the Palestinians in Israel, while Israel is illegally occupying the West Bank and more and more taking full control of land there allowing no Palestinian acess. They are blockading Gaza in such a way that they are not allowing necessary food, water, fuel, or medical supplies. There is no justice for innocent Palestinians and no justice for guilty Israelis who seem to think that it's okay to completely disregard the 4th Geneva convention EVEN THOUGH it was convened in response to none other but the Holocaust!!

I've seen the theory that Adoniah is talking about floating around, and it never fails to piss me off how someone can have no idea what his talking about and just go parrouting a theory that isn't supported historically and doesn't even make any sense.

Hmmm... those silly anti-zionists, why can't they just shut up and let all the Palestinians be slaughtered! If you don't want to support a cause than just say you can't give money, and leave it at that.

Of course I am joking. Israel is committing massive war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and making God's land a land of blood and starvation.

So you figured he's an Anti Zionest because he asked you to donate or because he told you that slaughtering the Palestinians is not right?
