FROM THE PHONE BOOTH: The Smallest Space in  Hollywood

Chutzpah CUBED:
Going Gaza, with a Bullet
by Steve Finefrock - Hollywood Forum [scriptwriter] 5/16/08

Imagine the approaching Redcoats conveying this 1774 message to colonial Loyalists within Boston and its environs, such as Lexington and Concord:
 
FLEE YOUR HOMES, and we will kill all patriots remaining in the area. Afterwards, you may safely return, and divide the dead patriots’ property among fellow Loyalists, in the name of King George III.

No such atrocity occurred, though there were atrocities in that War of Independence, some by our own patriotic fighters. “The Patriot” gave a hint of that truth, which some critics found unimaginable – notably Roger Ebert, who found Vietnam atrocities on the Big Screen believable, but just couldn’t fathom British brutality two hundred years earlier. He was wrong – such things did happen. But nothing like the atrocity that continues to be a BIG MONSTROUS LIE that is the claim of a ‘right to return’ and the existence of a so-called Palestine People.

While the Redcoats did occupy Boston, and such other cities as New York and Philadelphia, there was not a free-fire-zone policy aimed at its occupants. Many patriots abandoned these areas, as some loyalists fled when rebel forces took a city or area. But nothing like the nasty message given Arabs living in the pending independent Israel in 1948. This bit o’ history is forgotten by the ‘referees’ of our national political policy debate: THE MEDIA. [And their second-draft cousins, the perfessors of ‘history’ texts.]
 
As this nasty thing called Islamofascism gets nastier, and Nazi-er, it behooves many to know [and note] the truth of why we must not recognize Hamas, or its ‘people’ or its justification for ‘right of return’ to modern Israel.  Those facts of 1948 are:
 
Arabs were told by radio and phone-tree communication to flee toward Gaza, and a few other outposts [especially in Jordan], to await the ‘certain destruction’ of the budding, infant Israel. The assurances were that their property would again become theirs upon returning to the scorched-earth of dead Jews. Thus a chance to ‘leverage’ their holdings: get your own land back, and grab a little Jew Land as your reward for a bit of inconvenience in distant refugee camps.
 
Small, wee little problem interfered with this promise: The Jews Won!
 
And next – the refugee camps continued in festering stench, Israel continued to boldly exist and prosper, the Arabic whining began, and Arab brothers in other nations [with cash aplenty, especially those with oil revenues] just plain ignored their suffering “Palestinian” brothers.
 
For years. Decades.
 
Three generations are now occupants of Gaza, and a few other residual camps occupied by onetime profit-seeking Jew haters with Islamic belief. And oil revenues only barely trickle from the tiny spigot in Gaza, which depends on Israel for water, sewage, garbage removal, food, and even jobs. Gazans do receive one gift from brother Arabs: lots of deadly rockets and other weaponry to fire into the land where they get that water, food, jobs, etc.
 
Egyptian and Jordanian government promises of a quick, profitable 1948 victory were unmet. Now it’s three generations who demand they have a right to return to their ‘homes’ in Israel. And here’s a surprise conclusion among the Bostonians of that region: they don’t want no stinkin’ return of the greedy, hate-filled former ‘neighbors’ who hoped they’d be dead and their land taken by those who fled with high hopes of those brutal deaths.
 
If our war with Britain had gone that far, with all patriots who remained inside Boston being totally massacred and returning Loyalists divvying up their land, the bitter feelings toward the Mother Country would have been that toward the Muthah [Country – spelled with a missing letter] for at least three generations. Imagine our feelings, then and since, if such scorched-earth murderous policy had been British public policy.
 
Or, in the War of 1812, as the Brits were then an invading force, burning the Capitol and White House – telling all residents to flee if they desired to be loyal to England, and would divvy up property among themselves, while burying those Washingtonians who land was thus being taken.


Or, the Civil War – while there were some horrific practices among our brother-v-brother clashes, nothing approaching such dastardly doctrine. This Arabic message of brotherly glove – a grabbing, greedy glove at the throat of Israel, and its Jewish citizens – is more akin to Nazi practices, or Roman schemes under its more bizarre emperors. You’ve heard of ‘going Roman’ on a despised enemy. This is a history pop-chart rating of Going Gaza, with a bullet.
 
Yet, Gaza residents proclaim themselves to be “Palestine” citizens – a place that doesn’t exist, except as a term coined by the Romans – remember those nice guys? – to deny any Judea or Samaria titles for the area that went back centuries in Jewish history. That the Arabs who abandoned their land, temporarily [or so they thought], for a permanent slice of Jewish holdings, are now claiming some right to return to live among those they’d hoped would be long dead, is the height of arrogance.
 
It’s the Arabic equivalent of the old American tale of a young boy brought to the judge, convicted of murdering his parents, and pleading the court to grant him mercy since, after all, he was now a poor, lonely orphan.  This “Palestinian” claim is audacity squared, more like chutzpah cubed. And as a policy that rewards such murderous military manners, it’s stupidity cubed if America even faintly hints that such brutality is to be rewarded with a “Palestinian state” for a people who are deserving of nothing. Except from their Arab brothers’ promises, whose radio message created the crisis in the first instance.
 
They want mercy after attempting to make an entire nation into an orphan, a people whose history with Jerusalem and its environs as religious territory predates Islam by millennia. For Jews, Jerusalem is their Numero Uno holy city; for Arabs and Muslims, it’s the third sacred city, behind Mecca and Medina. Muslims have those two primary holy centers to the south, and additional numerous holy cities stretching to the east and west, almost to India and to Gibraltar. [Including Damascus and Baghdad.]
 
They can downgrade the ‘significance’ of Jerusalem a wee tiny bit, if they care about the Peace Process.
 
Palestinians deserve a state no more than do Appalachians, or Matterhornians, or Himalayans – they live in a geographic area named by the largest, longest running empire of autocratic excesses in Western history. [The largest by size is Russia, taking up eleven time zones even to this day, twelve zones when they had Alaska.] These Arabs of murderous ancestral descent have no name, no rights, and no claim to return to Israel – one claim they can make is to demand their brothers with piles o’ billions finance their re-training and re-entry into the civilized citizens of the world.
 
Oddly, Israel is slammed for not providing supplies to these rocketeering roaches – even though Egypt has a border with Gaza, and could open those fences and send all the supplies, and infrastructure support, any so-called ‘nation’ would desire. Build homes, construct water systems, send food, teach how to raise crops worthy of export – one abandoned Jewish settlement, at Netzarim, was famed in Europe for high-value oranges and other carefully tended products, fetching a premium price for its successful Jewish entrepreneurs. That settlement was left behind by its Jews forced out by their Israeli brethren, but many of its structures – as with other settlements turned over at various times – were smashed by the “Palestinians” rather than sully their digits with Jewish business resources.
 
At least California residents purchasing bargain-priced Japanese businesses in WW2 had no such qualms – their ‘bigotry’ did not go to destroying that which had come into their possession. Looks like in at least one way the nasty Ugly American is prettier than the poisoned ‘Palestinian’ resident.
 
Our dispute with the Mother Country did not deteriorate like that in Gaza. No American, or Brit, or Canadian, or French leaders or others of our ‘tribe’ of westerners ever issued such an order to a ‘brother’ of any kind, at any time, in any place, of modernity. For Arabs, it was just another jihad, to kill the Jews just as Muhammad beheaded 700 of them for suspicion of treachery after the Battle of the Ditch in Medina.  All their tribe’s males, plus one woman, executed by sword – and the remainder of that Jewish tribe were banished; others had their women and children sold into slavery, their belongings taken for distribution as ‘booty’ among Muslims.
 
Islam is the only religion whose holy book provides scriptural guidelines for dividing of booty! Another little fact so unknown among those arguing for mercy toward ‘Palestinians’ – they saw the impending promise of property swiped from Israeli Jews as just more booty, as provided in the Qu’ran.
 
So long as the talk grows of a “Palestinian” people and even the slightest acceptance of their right-of-return, this dilemma will keep festering. Americans must know that there is no such thing as a "Palestinian” – the word should always be in parentheses, or preceded by ‘so-called’ – nor a right to return since it is derived from the bloodiest of justifications. And while they’re at it, how about Arabs conceding that Jerusalem as a holy city is a ruse to punish Jews.
 
It goes to early Muslim history, when Muhammad had numerous Jews in his Medinan fold after his forced departure from Mecca, and declared the quibla [the direction to face for prayers] be toward Jerusalem in the north, as a political ‘triangulation’ toward the Jews. Soon, he suspected disloyalty, so the quibla for Muslims was changed toward Mecca, to the south. Thus, all could see the opposite-facing Jews as being outsiders. And the beginning of the anti-Semitism of this ‘great religion’ that gave “Palestinian” Arabs such a nasty idea on that deadly date in ’48.
 
And as to a right of return: How about granting it to Jews driven out of Arabic nations over history? How about allowing non-Muslims to visit Mecca? Medina?  Damascus? Baghdad? Cairo? Display their religious emblems in Saudi Arabia, as non-Jews can do whenever they are in Israel?
 
So far, this debate is so one-sided as to be a geometric impossibility. Since the Media ain’t telling this ‘context’ [which they love to do when it suits their agenda, always leftwing on all issues] when reporting such policy discussions, it’s useful for you to know how it all began. Not in Boston. Nor in France [though the Reign of Terror was quite nasty enough]. Nor even in Russia. Only in Arabic “Palestine” was such a bloody bargain cynically employed to lure ‘brothers’ into nasty refugee camps, and keep them suffering for three generations, and convince them they had ‘rights’ based on their ‘orphan’ status.
 
CHUTZPAH CUBED – makes a good story, but really bad policy. Too many Roger Eberts believe any story of western atrocities, but choke on the notion that noble Arab ‘victims’ are of any accountability for their bloody behaviors. Now is the time for all good, educated, moral souls to come to the aid of Israel in these arguments.
 
On this the birthday week of Israel’s founding, the only ancient civilization to regain its ancestral homeland in modern times, and re-energize its once-dead language. Hebrew is living, Jews are living, democracy is living, even free-voting Arabs are living in modern Israel.  This sixtieth anniversary of a modern miracle borne of an Arab assault supported by a vicious lie of deliberate land-grabbing design is worthy of noting how it all started.
 
Whence came the ‘right of return’ and the origins of that misery that is Gaza – a source of such media mendacity, managing misery on behalf of a ‘muzzie’ lie, advanced by Muslims with nary a thought of the truth, or justice, or any way but the autocratic way that is as ingrained in the ways Muhammad advanced in Medina as his way of returning to Mecca.  As the Prophet profited from raiding Meccan caravans [he knew nothing of actually producing wealth, only trading or raiding that of others who could actually start a business and make it succeed – sort of like Gazans this very day], Gazans today profit from raiding the truth.  With the giddy cooperation of the mainstream media.
 
Just a tiny bit of the True Truth that you don’t see in the debate on Gaza, right of return and claims of mistreatment on this sixtieth birthday of the only democracy functioning in that area. And the only land where free Arabs are full citizens of a true democracy, casting votes in elections to choose their own kind as members of their parliament.  Something you don’t see in Gaza, or Saudi Arabia, or even yet in Iraq [how many Jewish members of that parliament, eh, media apologists?].
 
Sixty years – a long time for a lie to sustain itself, with democrat and liberal acquiescence and support. If Gazan ‘Palestinians’ were half as successful at the real business of real life – building businesses, creating wealth, etc. – as they are at the propaganda game they’ve won so much of the time, Gaza would be one of the wealthiest zones in the world.
 
But, it’s all misery, all the time, depending on the hated Jews for all the sustenance which their Arab ‘brothers’ fail to provide.  Sixty years of lies, damned lies and ‘Palestinian’ statistics of sufferance.  You deserve all sixty years, and another sixty, until your own brethren do the decent thing and end the misery. Meantime, Congratulations to Israel – you’ve shown what can be done, and your ‘Palestinian’ neighbors have provided the contrasting proof of what should not be done.  A clear choice: liberals support Gazans, conservatives support Israel.
 
No clearer indication of how to vote in November that I can recommend. ExileStreet
