United States were warned about the Nakba

By Dallas Darling

Even alleged terrorists have authentic complaints, obvious truths that cannot be denied with regard to State-sponsored terrorism. This old security was again revealed when isrælske soldiers shot and massacred more than 20 Palestinian demonstrators and injured several hundred more. Their crime was commemorating the Nakba, an event when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were killed or militarily forced to flee from their homes, while Israel was a new State. the Palestinian demonstrators, killed along with steel barricades in Lebanon and occupied the Golan Heights and the Gaza Strip and West Bank, not only requires the attention of the Palestinian Nakba, also known as day disaster and a tragic memories, as Israel has outlawed and tried to remove, but they also demonstrated on behalf of Palestinian refugees and their right to return to their home countries.

In 1948, when the Truman administration and much of the United States the creation of Israel even before the United Nations did and immediate aid and military support recognised, was Palestinian survivors of the Deir Yassin spread naked, were loaded on open trucks and paraded through Jerusalem where they were spat on, beaten and stoned. Zionists lo and stroked by women was cut over their chest. A passing Palestinian mother pulled quickly his young child away from the horror-filled scene, but not before he shouted, "Momma's House, looking at blood." His name was Sirhan Sirhan.(1) following the murder of Robert f. Kennedy in 1968 and at his trial, Sirhan delivered a grievance, a warning to the United States on its unwavering support for Israel at the expense of Palestinian refugees.

"Well, sir, when you move-when you move a whole country," said Sirhan, "whole body people from their own home, from their own country, from their companies, sir, outside their country, and to introduce a foreign people, sir, in Palestine-Jews and Zionists-it is quite forkertsirand it is unfair and the Palestinian Arabs did a thing, sir, to justify the way they were treated by the West. "He explained how forced relocations and massacres deeply affected him asks," where is the Justice involved, sir? Where is the love, sir, are fighting for the underdog? Israel is not the underdog in the Middle East, sir. It is these refugees who are underdogs. And because they have no way of fighting back, sir, sir, Jews, Zionists, just keep marketing plan away on them. than roasted hell out of me. "(2)

In its final storage media and just before his murder, warned Osama bin Laden, the United States and the Americans that they would not live in safety until the Palestinians fine in security. A sickly and pale-looking bin Laden declared, "America will not be able to dream of security until we live in safety in Palestine. It is unfair that you live in peace while our brother in Gaza live in insecurity. " Just as Sirhan thought bin Laden back to 1982 when he saw the United States and its warships bombing, killing and wounding many Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, while others fled in horror. In "The Towers in Lebanon," bin Laden wrote: "I still remember the appalling scenes: blood, torn limbs, women and children were massacred. Everywhere, houses destroyed and tower blocks hide, crush their bebøre, while bombs spread mercilessly on our homes. "(3)

And just as Sirhan, bin Laden wondered how "the entire world" could hear and see what had happened but still do nothing. In another letter, this one entitled "to The Americans," explains bin Laden why he fights United States and its military and he wants. The very first reason he expresses is: "because you attacked us and continue to attack us. You attacked us in Palestine. "(4) according to bin Laden, "Palestine, which have wrecked military occupation for more than 80 years. The British handed over Palestine, with their help and their support for the Jews, who have occupied for more than 50 years; years is overflowing with oppression, tyranny, crimes, killings, displacement, destruction and devastation …The blood pouring out of Palestine must be equally avenged. "(5)

United States and Americans must one day realize that Arab Palestinians not weep alone; their women are widowed alone; their sons are orphans alone; and their peaceful demonstrators slaughtered by isrælske soldiers do not die alone.

(Note: while abhorring violence perpetrated by both Sirhan and bin Laden, the Palestinians should be commended for their non-violent Intifada uprisings.)
