THE ISRAELI
PALESTINIAN CONFLICT
This conflict is basically about two
historically antagonistic Semitic tribes, the Jews and the Palestinians,
both of whom lay claim to a relatively small area. Of course, the area
has tremendous significance to both of them, being an area with ties to
their ancestors dating back thousands of years.
This area was conquered by both tribes many times during this period. It was the desire of the Jews to take over the area prior to World War II, but with the Holocaust this
desire became overwhelming.
Jews under the guise of taking back “their land” committed atrocities
against the residents of the area akin to those formerly committed against
them.
I would like to ask the Jews and
world leaders, especially of my own homeland: To avoid so much
conflict, why didn’t you force the Jews to negotiate with the Palestinians
for part of the disputed territory before allowing the Jews to take it over?
If this actually happened, please forgive me.
I am not prejudiced against the Jews.
I am a native born American of Chaldean ancestry, and have been mistaken for
being a Jew all my life. In fact, to this day I sometimes fail to
correct the speaker, because I owe so much to my Jewish loved ones.
One need only view certain links to
my website,

HATE CRIMES and CHRIST AND THE JEWS.
In this link I shall include works I
have completed, several of which were completed several years ago.
GENOCIDE AND THE
RESOLUTION OF THE ISRAELI PALESTINIAN CONFLICT

Dear President Bush:
Since 9/11, many are
questioning why suicide bombers destroyed the twin towers and took numerous
lives. The acknowledged ringleader, Osama bin Laden, stated that it
was done because of our presence in Saudi Arabia and our support of Israel.
In this letter I will question only the United States support of the Jewish
state.
I am not writing this letter
because I am prejudiced against Jews. I have loved
ones who are Jewish. I thank them for the gifts they have given
me during my lifetime.
The Jews suffered through the
holocaust. But they were not the only religious or national groups
that suffered through attempts at genocide. So did Native
Americans and African Americans upon the founding of our nation and
the Irish in Ireland (1845-1852), Armenian (1915), Nanking Chinese (1937),
Tibetans (1959), Cambodian (1975-1979), Bosnian (1992) and Rwandan (1994)
(Search for website,
Morris and Dorothy Hirsch Research Library of Holocaust and Genocide
Studies).
At least since 1917 the Zionist
movement sought a Jewish state in Palestine. The State of Israel
was created in 1948 with much Palestinian blood spilt upon the Holy Land.
My tax dollars and the tax dollars of other Americans were used and are
continuing to be used to foster the murder of numerous Palestinians.
We are perpetuating this bloodbath by continuing the funding of the State of
Israel without addressing the grievances involved.
Possession of land under any
legal theory is entitled to respect. Therefore, when the Jews took
over Palestinian property by generally murdering or scaring off their
occupants, they were mirroring the horrors committed upon other peoples by
so-called superior nations and peoples.
I propose that the United
Nations should assist in the following:
1. Set up the City of
Jerusalem as an international city-state;
2. Establish the West
Bank and the Gaza Strip as the new nation of Palestine without forcing the
Jewish homesteads to move out;
3. Set about the process
of the State of Israel making restitution to the Palestinians for taking
their property.

Dear President Bush:
A true story was told to me about
World War II. Toward the end of the war, our troops came upon a German
town, and prepared to shell it. One of our troops started to cry.
His fellow troopers asked him why. He stated that his mother lived in
that town.
The above was told to the commanding
officer who communicated with the grieving trooper. He decided that
instead of shelling the town, of exacting revenge for the atrocities that
Hitler performed during the war, he would attempt to obtain its surrender.
This he accomplished with surprising ease.
My mother does not now live in Iraq
[I made a mistake here. She was born in Fort William, Ontario, Canada
on November 15, 1906]. She passed on in 1996 here in the United
States. However, my father was also born in Iraq, and I still have an
aunt and cousins, one of whom is a physician, living in Baghdad [Since our
war in Iraq, my relatives are even afraid to leave their home].
.
I might not cry if any of my
relatives were killed in the forthcoming war. However, there is a
possibility I might, and especially if I do not do all in my power to
legally prevent any forthcoming war.
I plead with you. If it can be
proven that Sadam Hussein knew about the planning of the destruction of the
twin towers, obviously you might feel justified in going to war and
destroying his capability to carry on any future conflict. However,
did you request him to submit to the jurisdiction of the International Court
of Justice to determine his guilt? Are you going to request Hussein to
resign and/or submit to a determination of his guilt or to go into exile
before you order our troops to invade Iraq? Are you going to attempt
to negotiate the surrender of Iraq before you move our troops into Iraq?
I am a native born American citizen,
and proud to be one, despite the mistakes we have made in the past.
However, I did not even write about our involvement in Viet Nam, although I
felt that our involvement in the Viet Nam war was wrong. I believe
that any killing that is legally unjustifiable is murder.
May God protect and guide the United
States of America. May His will be done.
Sincerely,
David C. Hakim
ON THE CONFLICT BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE HEZBOLLAH
(A similar version was mailed to President George W. Bush and
Vice President Richard
Cheney)
I have just reviewed the peace
proposal set forth by the Hezbollah requesting a limited truce [earlier
today I sent emails and letters to President Bush and Vice President Cheney
after the rejection by Israel of a truce requested by the Hezbollah.
Since then Israel wants to cease at least part of the conflict and the
United States wants a limited truce to begin. Therefore, part of the
following has already been accomplished.] To me the proposal for a
truce seems fair, especially since it was obviously encouraged by proponents
with superb negotiating skills, with a desire to prevent an escalation of a
conflict into World War III.
Obviously the former prime minister
of Israel, Aerial Sharon, also had a change of heart to propose a realistic
plan which would end the conflict in the Middle East. I proposed it at
least in part to President Bush and to all the U.S. Senators months ago:
the acceptance of the state of Israel by the Palestinians, the Palestinians
to form a state of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, Jerusalem to be formed
as an independent state, and reparations given by Israel or their backers to
the Palestinians.
Of course, one cannot guarantee that
such an agreement will work. It may even be repelled by the aggressors
for awhile. But with many teams of negotiators and the grace of God,
the aggressors may learn to forgive and request forgiveness.
