NEW YORK - Former justice minister Irwin Cotler and other Canadian scholars presented the U.S. Congress yesterday with its first testimony on Jews driven from Arab lands following Israel's creation in 1948.
The group was among experts helping U.S. lawmakers decide on a pair of bills that would oblige the Bush administration to actively oppose the Arab-led practice in Middle East peace efforts to speak only of Palestinian refugees.
While key Arab voices continue to push for a "right of return" for descendants of some 600,000 Palestinians whose pre-1948 homes are now inside Israel, the general discourse for decades has all but ignored tens of thousands of Jews, Christians and other minorities who were similarly turned into refugees.
"The time has come to rectify this historical injustice," Mr. Cotler told members of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus in Washington in a written statement. He argued the United Nations, where Arab countries have mustered majority backing from Muslim and developing states to pass 101 resolutions speaking only of Palestinian refugees, bears "express responsibility for the distorted narrative."
Yeah... how dare the Muslims deem that only Muslims can claim any "right of return"? Muslim nations expelled Jews, Christians and other non-Muslims just because they weren't Muslims. So what about the right of return of non-Muslims to all the Islamic lands from which they were illegally ethnically cleansed?
While you're thinking of that, please understand that Israel did NOT ever ethnically cleanse the lands (known as "Gaza" and "The West Bank") she rightfully, legally captured from the Islamic nations who attacked her in 1967. In fact, Israel provided a wonderful standard of living for the Muslims and others, even making many Israeli citizens.
Now we see how Israel is being repayed for her kindness and humanity towards her fellow man and woman, regardless of whether they were Jewish, Muslim, Christian or whatever.
I support Israel. Why won't the rest of the world support Israel? Is the rest of the world simply brainwashed into being so hatefully anti-Semitic and submissive to imperialist-supremacist Muslims?
I'm astonished that the world thinks it's a good idea to support Fatah (the so-called "Palestinian Authority), which we KNOW is a hateful, murderous, imperialist-supremacist Islamofascist organization which we KNOW is responsible for countless murders in the name of Islam. Why should we support Fatah- just because its "leader" wears a business suit?
Besides, "Palestine" is ethnically cleansing their geopolitical area of non-Muslims. Example: Remember Bethlehem? One wouldn't know it was the birthplace of Christ these days, with all the Islamic jihadists running around persecuting, intimidating, driving out any of the few remaining Christians. What about the right of return for Christians to Bethlehem? How dare the so-called "Palestinians"? And how dare the international community and the mainstream media ignore their plight?
To the Islamic World: Shut the hell up about "right of return" unless you actually begin to allow non-Muslims to return to your lands and ensure that they have full human rights, with full, equal protection. You must make them equal to Muslims under law. If you refuse, then to hell with your bullshit concept of "right of return", which is really one of your strategies to destroy Israel from the inside out. So shut up! And leave Israel alone; if you keep attacking her no matter what, the world just may someday, eventually, realize that you, the imperialist-supremacist Muslims, are actually the bad guys and start turning against you! It's possible. Understand that!
Besides, the Islamic nations refuse to accept any Muslims into their lands who are currently claimed to be "refugees" based on the 1967 Six Days' War. Why on earth won't the Islamic nations accept their own brothers and sisters into their lands, as the Koran and Allah obviously want them to? Aren't Muslims supposed to help one another whenever they're in need? Why force them to stay in "Palestine" and become homicide bombers, blowing themselves up, shooting at innocents, lobbing rockets at Israel, etc...? See, the Islamic World has condemned the Muslims in "Palestine" to death as weapons of mass destruction against Israel in a big, terrible international conspiracy against Israel. Therefore the Islamic World is violating the human rights of Muslims and must be condemned for doing so by the international community, the United Nations, the MSM, the crazed leftist extremists who march in the streets equating folks to Hitler and so on...
