I thought that this documentary by Ross far more balanced than any other I have seen.Fron my experience people are just not aware of the full facts,one of them being that much of the land in dispute was actually purchased from the Arabs.Read the history of Isreal.

Did Kemp mention that there is already a “Palestinian” state – Jordan, which is 4/5ths of British mandated “Palestine?”
Did Kemp mention that the Arabs were offered part of the remaining 1/5th in 1937, 1947 and 2000-01?
Did Kemp mention that between 1948-1967, Egypt and Jordan occupied Gaza and the “West Bank” respectively and that no attempt was made to create a separate state of “Palestine”?
Did Kemp mention the ‘Religion of Peace’ context?

I’m guessing he didn’t, and that’s the problem with 99% of documentaries on the Middle East, from the very outset they are based on the fabricated historical narrative of the “Palestinians”, they whitewash the aforementioned facts.

Ending the West’s Proxy War Against Israel

Despite the media’s obsession with the Mideast conflict, it has cost many fewer lives than the youth bulges in West Africa, Lebanon or Algeria. In the six decades since Israel’s founding, “only” some 62,000 people (40,000 Arabs, 22,000 Jews) have been killed in all the Israeli-Arab wars and Palestinian terror attacks. During that same time, some 11 million Muslims have been killed in wars and terror attacks — mostly at the hands of other Muslims.

Hi folks,

Would appreciate if someone could provide a streamed weblink for my social network friends to view the programme. A lot of them don’t have a TV, never mind Sky!

Regards,

And perhaps most importantly of all, we had driven from Jerusalem to Nablus without going through any Israeli checkpoints.

Did Tom Gross fly from Jerusalem to Nablus? I went between the cities in early Nov and had to pass 3 checkpoints?

And if he is using Chadian markets to compare Nablusi markets, then yes, indeed there are plentiful, but if he is using Israeli markets, then his optimism is a little disingenous.

Btw Melanie Phillips lost all self-respect when she referred to the jews concerned about justice (A Time To Speak Out) as Jews for Genocide.

“Their own lives are torture”? “A structure built on human callousness”?

This piece concerning the current state of the Palestinian lands recently appeared in the Wall Street Journal (I discovered it thanks to Melanie Philips):

“Building Palestine Without Obama’s Interference”

How much more evidence is needed that constructive engagement works and rejectionism doesn’t?

I haven’t got Sky, because I refuse to pay for the privelege of watching adverts.

All are welcome as long as they are not personal or racist in their comments. I’ve never seen RepublicanStones be either of those things.
