Message to Ken

New reader and emerging nuisance Ken has already broken two of the unwritten rules here at Israellycool:
1. Don’t spread anti-Israel propaganda.
2. If you are going to break rule 1, at least attempt to back up your assertions.
Here’s his latest comment:
I don’t love terror and I don’t hate anyone. I just have enough inteligence to know nonsense when I see it (the world is flat, the holocaust never happened, there is no palestine). Whether there has ever been an actual nation called palestine is totally irrelevant. There has been a region of the world, commonly called Palestine whose population over-whelmingly by Arabs who call themselves Palestinians for hundreds of years — and thats ALL that counts. And I’m intelligent enough to who the good guys and bad guys are in this conflict.
For someone who likes to speak of his intelligence (notice the spelling, Ken) and professes an aversion to nonsense, your comments indicate a high proportion of one and not the other.
So here’s a quick history lesson for you, Ken.
The fact that there has never been an actual nation called palestine is very relevant. In fact, in all of recorded history, only one nation has ever had a sovereign state in “Palestine” west of the Jordan, with Jerusalem as its capital. And guess which nation that is?
What’s more, Ken, is that the Arabs whom you refer to as “Palestinians,” actually rejected the notion of a unique Palestinian Arab identity! Instead, they saw themselves as part of “Greater Syria.” In addition, most of these Arabs actually came here because of greater economic opportunities and better living conditions resulting from Jewish immigration (a trend which still exists today).
In fact, if you knew your history, you would realize that the word “Palestinian” was used to describe the region’s Jewish residents before the establishment of the State of Israel. But, alas, you come in ignorance.
By the way, you might want to know that three quarters of historic Palestine is sovereign Arab territory. It’s called Jordan. Meanwhile, you try and deny the Jews the right to live on the remaining sliver of land.
So, Ken, a word of advice. Don’t sprout your ridiculous propaganda on this site. I have taken the time to study something called the facts. You, on the other hand, have to resort to myths and lies to justify the killing of innocents. Shame on you.

Ugh Ken sounded so familiar. I meet a million people just like him. His spelling of the word “intelligence” so rightfully describes where he stands.
I will be forced to steal more material from you. You might as well be my “mother blog”
Many nations are formed by declarations of independence after military conquest when a people seeks to establish itself under some common order. With God on its side, Israel has kicked everyones butts in the area on more than one occasion and have by all means established itself by all commonly accepted criteria. If we are to establish nations by simply being somewhere for a period of time and identifying oneself as a people I do believe history heavily favors the Jews for the land in question. If this is about a place to call home, I am sure there is plenty of real estate within the millions of square miles of arab country land where the palestinians can have palestine. I am sure their arab brothers will be more than accommodating. By the palestinian criteria of nation forming, and in proportion to land mass and time occupied, I am entitled to the land my house is on without paying for it!
You are absolutely right Chansen. I see the Jews in Israel as being the only real indigenous inhabitants of Israel. It’s infuriating to hear that Jews are “occupiers” or “settlers” because they want to live in their homeland.
It’s amazing how many times Israel has made concessions to the Arabs only to to be screwed over. The fact that the Arabs are so insistent on destroying Israel despite owning most of the land in the Middle East shows that this conflict is not about territory but the ethnic cleansing of the infidel Jews from the area.
I could have easily had the same opinions as Ken, except for supporting terror, if it wasn’t for certain websites and blogs like this one that has made me aware of what is really going on in Israel. Also reading books like “Time Immemorial” and “The Case for Israel” has taught me about the historical facts of Israel. I have been exposed to the Arab side but when I hear ludicrous things like “Palestinians” being in “Palestine” for a million years it’s obvious which side has the facts on their side.
The fact that Ken supports murdering innocent women and children shows that he is a cold-blooded heartless person. I’ve never believed that being pro-Plo Arab equates to being pro-terror but now I’m beginning to think that this is the case. I’m proud to support Israel when I see the kind of people who support the other side.
So, Malia, when can we expect a blog out of you?
I look forward to it.
Some Jewish sites I respect:
Zionists do not represent Jews
One democratic state
Braks generous offers
not in my name
Nice comeback Ken! When faced with facts, just ignore them, and provide us with some anti-Zionist sites.
I don’t take banning people lightly. So consider yourself warned.
David,
Thanks! I go to school and work so I don’t have any time. It would be interesting to have a blog but it’s intimidating when there are so many great blogs out there like this one. But maybe one day.
Ken,
I don’t care if there are self-hating “Jews” out there who suppport the Arab Islamofacists in their quest to destroy Israel. This is not impressive and doesn’t change my opinion one bit. It’s obvious you can’t state your case because you don’t have the truth on your side.
