Palestine, Israel and the whole bit

Hello Boys and Girls, first and foremost, Happy New Year. May 2009 bring with it some light in a time when everyone seems to predict dark times. Sorry for the lack of posts toward the end of last year. What with X'mas and all, I was very busy singing carols, stuffing stockings over my fireplace and waiting for that fictitious fat bastard they call Santa to give me a present that I don't deserve. Not. We can thank the Marketing Jews that created the whole structured and money making industry we call 'Christmas Holidays'. Anyway, that's not what I wanna talk about.

I wanna say something about the recent events in the Middle East. Namely the war in Israel and Palestine. Now before I say anything further, I just want to say that I will be writing this as an ignorant and misinformed individual who has chosen to not take much notice of the events of the Middle East over the past few years. I believe that my view would echo the majority of moderate Muslims in this country that simply do not want to be bogged down with yet another world problem that seemingly, not any one person's actions, would make a difference and effect change. Normally I would surf the net for some facts and information, but no, not this time. I write with what I know. I'm sure the 'know-it-all-people' of this world will comment here, some calling me a racist or bigot and what have you. Whatever la.


Everyday, my Inbox is bombarded with emails that contain violent imagery of the suffering of the people of Palestine. I guess in someway, I am compelled to express my opinions here now. As muslim, I am very sad to see such injustice. It makes me feel like I want to strap on army boots and head over there to fight. Really? No. Well maybe part of me, the same part that plays Halo 3 on the Xbox. The same part of me that thinks he can handle machine gun and shoot with the accuracy of a sniper. Did I mention bunny hopping while shooting so the enemy can't shoot me?

I got an email about, boycotting american products as most American companies like Coca Cola and Starbucks channel some of their profits to Israel to help the Jew cause. So no more Coke and Frappachinoes for me? Crap. But I love Dr.Pepper and Wendy's Burgers. So how now? I am the first one that would love to see America be taken down a notch. In fact, the fact that their economy is slowing down and going through a recession brings a smile to my face. Its always the assumption that 'if everyone this... then everyone that'. If everyone boycotts American products and companies then we can make a difference. Thats nice. Lets all do that. Lets all give to the poor. Lets all stop using electricity and fossil fuels. Lets all be nude and do away with money. Lets all focus on improving the human race just like in Star Trek. How nice.

Here is what I know or think I know or choose to know. Israel use to be Palestine years ago. My history knowledge is brought to you by the Jew infested Hollywood movie, Kingdom of Heaven staring Orlando Bloom. For hundreds of years the Jews, Christians and Muslims have been fighting over this piece of land. Holy land I might add. Until today, the Jews think they have the right to this land. Even as you read this, the Israeli Army is driving out the Palestinians out of their homes by force and blatantly committing war crimes with the backing of the United States. Where does it end? How can it end? Just thinking about it now makes me confused and helpless. Part of me thinks, is it really as one sided as it seems? Are the Muslims wrong? Are the Jews right? What is right? Is there a solution? Must we pick a side? How does this effect me, all the way in Malaysia? Will me not buying a Big Mac change anything?

Here now is my token cut and paste segment:-

This fascinating essay, written by King Hussein's grandfather King Abdullah, appeared in the United States six months before the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. In the article, King Abdullah disputes the mistaken view that Arab opposition to Zionism (and later the state of Israel) is because of longstanding religious or ethnic hatred. He notes that Jews and Muslims enjoyed a long history of peaceful coexistence in the Middle East, and that Jews have historically suffered far more at the hands of Christian Europe. Pointing to the tragedy of the holocaust that Jews suffered during World War II, the monarch asks why America and Europe are refusing to accept more than a token handful of Jewish immigrants and refugees. It is unfair, he argues, to make Palestine, which is innocent of anti-Semitism, pay for the crimes of Europe. King Abdullah also asks how Jews can claim a historic right to Palestine, when Arabs have been the overwhelming majority there for nearly 1300 uninterrupted years? The essay ends on an ominous note, warning of dire consequences if a peaceful solution cannot be found to protect the rights of the indigenous Arabs of Palestine.

Honestly, just reading the above text gives me a headache. This kind of thing brings me down. I don't like it. I don't like conflict. I may have started out writing this with the intention of being Jew hating. Perhaps in my mind, I wanted to appear somewhat cool and intellectual. Someone that goes against the grain as it were. Someone that knows what he is talking about. But in reality not everyone will share my opinion. Most often than not, I ended up saying something stupid or worse, being called a Terrorist. This IS a serious matter. A topic that can't really be made light off. Certainly an issue that requires super deep thought and insight. Honestly, the majority of people, like me, really have other things to worry about than the suffering of one nation and its people. I guess, until it effects you directly, or its in your face, only then do you care and do something about it. Only until its your family that has an M4 Assault Rifle pointed at your face do you care. But by that time, its too late.

The majority of people have their own problems to lose sleep over. Maybe that is the problem. Unfortunately, having a good nights sleep is way important than the Gaza strip. Perhaps its people like me that are the problem. We want to care, but don't know how to care, and thus, choose not to care.

Can't I just stare at boobs all day, instead, and leave me the hell me alone? How this, what if everybody just go and stare some tits like these, we all be a lot happier. Peace.
