Hey Amateur,
I have read both of the arguments as well as the outline that you have listed above. What I believe is the not coherent portion of your argument is that Husseini was an opportunist at best and trying to carve out his own little bastion of domicile at the least! Most of the politicians of pre-war and post war Europe/Mideast were trying to figure out who was going to grab what (United States, as well).
Your major question can not be answered by any human, with any sense of authority. You could ask the same question and change the words “Muslims” and “Jews” to read “Blacks” and “Koreans”; “Skinny People” and “Fat People” the list can go on and on ad-nauseum. Years ago, the argument used to come up as to why “Christians” hated “Jews”. My Jewish friends and my Christian friends would debate this for hours, throwing biblical scriptures around, purporting to know theology better than the other, basically strutting around like peacocks. Were any of us right? We were in our minds…
Years ago, my mother got into a terrible fight with a next door neighbor. She was so mad she said “One of these days, I am going to sell this house… And when I do, I am going to sell it to a BLACK FAMILY!” Now, that’s a revenge! (well at least 1969, middle America style).
The problem with most “Religious” groups, as I SEE IT –(emphasis is mine!), Is that so many wars go back thousands of years, to a date and time where great umbrage was inflicted! In the U.S. today, we have a religious belief that allowing certain groups to “Marry” will ruin the Sanctity of marriage! (Oh, the Umbrage) — but we have no outcry for outlawing Divorce. In China, the government regularly rounds up dissidents and jails them for speaking out against the current government (Oh, the Umbrage) — but in the U.S. / Europe we are holding many Muslims for speaking out against the current government. In Ethiopia, as well as several other countries of Africa, they are having civil wars that are responsible for “Ethnic Cleansing”, (Oh the Umbrage) — In the United States (1864 – 68) and in U.S.S.R. (1917 – 1925) there were two very large Civil wars, as well as an uprising in Beijing in the late 1990’s, that did basically the same thing.
We don’t try to understand or learn from our IGNORANCE. I have decided, because my brain is bigger than yours, that the color BLUE disgusts me! It just happens to be your favorite color! All of my friends hate the color Blue, and now, SO DO I! I have made an educated guess that the color BLUE must be bad, because history, my friends, my society has all told me to not accept that color! What I need, more than anything else, is to spend some time in a BLUE ROOM!
Years ago, there was a “Nightline” show that was presented as a “Town-hall Meeting” on the problems that were continuing the war between Israel and Palestine. There were several members of the Knesset and the Palestine Authority on the panel. I was so amazed to watch this. Ted Koppel would ask a question, and the men would pound their fists and grab their faces… yelling at each other about how right they were and how wrong the other side was. There were several remarkable differences. Each side had several female members of the governing bodies. When they spoke, they spoke with empathy. When they listened, they listened with earnest at what the opposing party had to say. They saw their jobs as LEARNING how to END the conflict. The men saw their jobs as FINDING how to WIN the conflict!
Until we are able to listen, earnestly….
Until we are able to speak with empathy….
Until we are able to spend time in your room….
Until you are able to spend time in our room…
Until we can stop pounding our fists…
Until we can understand that no one will ever be just like us…
Until we are able to open our Hearts and our Minds…
Until we truly learn how to love…
… There can never be an end to Hatred, whomever or wherever or whatever is involved!
And that, sadly, will probably destroy us all!
Hope my opinion was not to simplistic!
Thanks for your time,
James
Hey Angel,
Please understand that the Papers and the News programs are in the business of making money and they will spew whatever crap will sell the most papers and the most air time!
His lordship G.W. Bush, vetoed a bill that would have APPROVED federal funding for NEW Stem Cell Research. It didn’t stop the research. In fact, there are still two dozen lines of embryo’s that are already approved and will continue to receive Federal Funding. Sadly, these are basically, “cloned” cells. Nothing more than donor “A”‘s eggs, and donor “B”‘s sperm. So any experiments will have the same result, embryo after embryo. There are currently several states that have started state funding of Stem Cells, sadly, all are in litigation.
But, chin-up! Write your congress, write his lordship, write your governor. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease! Just learn to be squeakier than the right wing ! (Think ACT-UP meets Cindy Sheehan !).

p.s. An Aside to Josh R. Josh, most stem cells used in Embryonic research are what is left over when Mrs. A would like to get pregnant and Mr. A is not able to plant the seed. The Fertility Clinic Extracts 15-30 eggs from Mrs. A, and then tests them for age and viability. They then take samples of Mr. A’s sperm, test them for viability and strength. If both sides work out, then they fertilize all of the harvested eggs and put them in the deep freeze and wait until Mrs. A reaches estrus. When she is ready they implant 1 egg, and so on until she gets pregnant. Leaving the remaining eggs in the deep freeze.
If both sides don’t work out, then they go for donor eggs and sperm. Repeat above steps, store balance in deep freeze.
If Mr. and Mrs. A really don’t want to have all 30 or so kids, they have a little bit of waste to figure out what to do with. There are 30 or so fertilized eggs in the deep freeze, that should probably be sent down the drain, but it’s medical waste, so you should package it or something…. So they put it in the same container with your bad kidney stones, or that abscess you had removed, or that fat you had sucked out this morning. Yup, all of it in the same hole!
B-T-W, not a whole lot of use for aborted babies! See once they’re dead, they’re….er…. well… DEAD! Unless they can figure out a way to freeze them before they are removed from the womb, they are kinda useless, well except for scaring the crap out of someone!
Thanks
Hey HymNs,
I am sorry, I have to list three, in no particular order:
1). My ferret Zorro! since he looks nearly identical to the other two (they’re girlz) he doesn’t know he’s handsome. At 90 times his size, he is still valiant in trying to take me down. He’s happy when he finds a raisin that he dropped earlier in the week.
2). My cat Jello. At 16, he thinks that he is still a kitten and at 26 lbs, he still tries to get up on my chest while I am sleeping thinking that I won’t notice.
3). And of course,
You!
😀
James
P.S. I think I also have to add:
1). Pee-Wee Herman (seem’s to rank same as you)
2). Adam P. (Great picture — Maybe not the most handsome, but worth a second look . :-D)
Hey Princess,
I usually try to give your questions real thought….
This time, I have to stay in line with Polyester Fred!
Enjoy,
Send us the address as to where to send the cards and flowers.

Hey Mindy,
Are you sure it was not a copy of a shot that was known as “Snake Bite”? That shot was Yukon Jack + Lime Juice.
It would have had a orange + lime flavor to it!
