Sep-02-2011 13:24TweetFollow @OregonNews Glenn Beck Will Shed Real Tears Next Time He Visits IsraelDr. Ashraf Ezzat Salem-News.com“It is hard to imagine that the story of the Zionist land grab of Palestine could go down in history as the redemption of the world Jews and a courageous act that need to be restored by a hypocritical Zionist mouthpiece like Glenn Beck.”
(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - “– We should go east into Transjordan. That will be a test to our movement. - Nonsense, isn’t there enough land in Judea and Galilee? – The land in Judea and Galilee is populated by the Arabs – Well, we’ll take it from them; we’ll harass them until they get out, let them go to Transjordan. As soon as we have a big settlement here, we’ll seize the land, we’ll become strong, we’ll expel them from there too … let them go back to the Arab countries.” … That was part of the dialogue between two pro-Zionism advocates in 1891 and the intro of the famous documentary “The land speaks Arabic” in which Dr. Nur Masalha, a Palestinian professor of politics and history reveals through his ‘Post-Zionism’ and ‘new history’ argumentation the hard to disguise anymore neo-colonialist ideas on which the Jewish state of Israel was established, namely the ‘transfer’ and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. This highly criminal plan of transferring an entire indigenous population did in fact require, besides the international political duplicity, a parallel substance of brazen imprudence and methodical terrorism carried out by the then terrorist Zionist guerrillas, the Stern Gang, Haganah and the Irgun group, the infamous right-wing Zionist militants responsible for the King David hotel bombing operation and commissioned under Jabotinsky’s teaching to deter the Palestinians and disrupt the genuine fabric of the Arabic society in Palestine in the 1930s through mass murder and terrorism. It is hard to imagine that the story of the Zionist land grab of Palestine could go down in history as the redemption of the world Jews and a courageous act that need to be restored by Beck in Jerusalem without tears nor cheers.“My Israeli friends, I have a message: You must not lose hope. You must not lose confidence. You must have courage. … Thus Said Glenn Beck in his latest I believe Mr. Beck when he said he didn’t know this until recently, but I also believe that he has neither a right nor a proxy to assume a prophet’s intonation and speak on behalf of God and describe the Israeli military occupation of Palestinian land as yet another divine miracle. This Israeli military takeover of the Arabic land with the premeditated plan for the transfer of its whole indigenous population could not and should not be cloaked in the shrouds of piety as Beck’s recent and flimsy knowledge of the Israelite story clearly shows. Beck is as clueless about the true meaning of the story of the chosen people as many of the Hebrew Bible followers who listened many times to, but never contemplated, the historically refuted story of the exodus of the ancient Israelites from Egypt after alleged tale of years of enslavement and torture, wandering in the wilderness for 40 long years and then getting the divine clearance/visa to enter a land historically known as Canaan, but from the Hebrew Bible’s perspective called the land of milk and honey or better yet the promised land. Canaanite NakbaDuring that ancient time and as the Israelites were about to invade Canaan they were led by Joshua, a biblical figure said to be Moses’ assistant for he was most gifted as a spy, so he sort of did the job of Mossad for the Israelites in the famous story in that remote era in history. The Israelites reached Canaan but to their astonishment, though no one of them seemed astounded since they had Yahweh on their side to do all the thinking, the Promised Land was not empty; it was not some deserted terrains with a big sign at its gate saying “welcome my dear and chosen children to the promised land, please take a number and wait in line” The whole of Canaan, with Jericho included was inhabited with people who had their own culture, religion and language, in other words, the Promised Land was a land of milk and honey alright, along too many other resources, but only with a tiny and rather inconvenient obstacle, it was unfortunately populated with indigenous people who not only ever attacked or provoked the Israelites but also never heard of them before. According to the story, Joshua was commanded by his god upon the crumbling of the walls of Jericho, that mysteriously collapsed like the 911 towers, to kill every man, woman, child and farm animal in Canaan. And that he did with the rest of the so called chosen people and children of god without a blink of shame, Hesitation or remorse. Socio-politically speaking, the massacre of the Canaanites is described as blatant and unabashed act of genocide, but biblically speaking, it is reverently referred to as a divine land grant regardless of all the killing of innocent men, women, children, animals and even babies still inside their mother’s wombs. Couldn’t we learn anything from history?July 14.1948 edition of the "Jerusalem Post" only it was then titled "The Palestine Post" Now if we jumped ahead thousands of years we will be astounded by the similarity of the same crimes of genocide committed in Palestine by the Israelis and their modern spy agents of Mossad. But the more astonishing is the fact that after thousands of years of dauntless efforts to reach the realm of separating facts from myths and after painful sacrifices to reach new grounds of shared values of respected freedoms and human rights the world conscience is still quite at ease with the ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, if not indifferent to the whole crime, to say the least. Another Bin Laden but in a smart suitBack to Mr. Beck’s bold speech as he went on and said: “Everything we know about human rights and civilization came from this place. Whether you live by 613 commandments or 10 or just one golden rule, they all came from here, this throne of the Lord. Mr. Beck’s ignorance, knowing not that the human conscience dawned from ancient Egypt rather from the teachings of some pastoral nomads, and his brazen hypocrisy surprised me not, for he was just being himself. But the weird thing is that nobody caught him in tears as he was ass-kissing the few bunch of Israelis who showed up for his pathetic performance. Glenn Beck is virtually no different from other religious extremists like Osama bin laden or rabbi Ovadia Yosef except for the chic suit he wears and the celebrities of the like-minded as Jon Voight who regularly attended his campaigns of restoring fear and reconstructing the foolish milieu of the ages of medieval fanatics who accept no creed other than their own as a legitimate path to God, and who seem intent on hastening the arrival of their version of Armageddon. With the tenth anniversary of 9/11 a few days away and with the majority of honest scientists, experts and intellectuals attesting to the fact that the collapse of the world trade towers is a false flag operation done by a covert agency that managed to pull out the biggest demolition scam ever in history, next to of course the mythical collapse of the walls of Jericho, how could America prevail over militant Islamism whom was scapegoated for 9/11, with such a backward religious thinking promoted by fanatics like Glenn beck and John Hagee. The next time Mr. Beck will visit Israel, which I reckon will be soon after the UN will have rejected the Palestinian bid for statehood, thanks to the United states’ only good for Israel brokering peace efforts and timely vetoes, his eyes will be sore and wet all day, not from the poignant ambience of being in the company of the chosen children of god, but from the highly irritant smoke emitted from tear gas canisters and grenades the Israeli settlers in the west bank will be firing this September on the angry and stateless Palestinian protesters or in other words, the few thousands left of the descendants of the ancient Canaanites.

From Loretta: "Why is he here in America if he has such a hatred for Judeo/Christianity?" Oh, we're a theocracy now? When did that happen? Have we started stoning people for gathering sticks on the Sabbath? I didn't get the memo.
Loretta September 2, 2011 5:41 pm (Pacific time)
Dr. Ashraf Ezzat has written a disgustingly contemptuous piece of fiction denigrating the entire religion of Christianity. He dismisses the history written in the Bible as "historically refuted story of the exodus" and yet he then compares the story of Joshua entering the promised land (I thought it wasn't true?) with the homecoming of the Jews to Israel.
The so-called dialogue between two Zionists is not so surprisingly offered up by a Palestinian professor of history. Does this same professor deny the existance of the Temple Mount on Mount Moriah, as well? Does Mr. Ezzat?
Mr. Ezzat is a racist of the worst kind. Why is he here in America if he has such a hatred for Judeo/Christianity?
Editor: Loretta, It is Doctor Ezzat, OK? He is a medical doctor and while you may not choose to respect that, it is beside the point. Second, no writers heret 'hates 'anyone, however your somewhat venomous comment may betray the fact that you do. Dr. Ezzat and I, along with a wealth of other writers, are very troubled at all times by the problems that center around occupation and oppression. The two countries on the face of this earth who are responsible for the most... and worst, are the United States and Israel. This is not opinion, and it is not the way anyone wishes it to be. Hatred of Muslim people is rampant, it is the driving force behind the extermination of the Palestinian race by Israel, one nation above where Dr. Ezzat lives, and it is the tragedy of a million and a half Iraqi people who never lifted a finger toward the United States. That sure doesn't make this country's 'Christian aspirations' appear very promising, do you agree?
Also, have you ever lived with real fear? Do you have some idea what it would be like to be a family in Gaza who, every time they hear F-16's, have to wonder if their family home will be next? There is no reason that people should behave this way, there is no excuse for the actions of the U.S. and Israel and there are international laws that are supposed to protect people from such dire killing. If you have lived with fear, then perhaps I raise a point here with you. My worst days covering the wars overseas (I've spent a total of three months overseas in Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan and Kyrgyzstan covering the current U.S. conflicts) involved some scary rocket attacks, but Americans have loudspeakers when this happens on bases and bomb shelters for safety that are well placed and accessible. The people of Gaza have no such facilities and they should not need them.
Dr. Ezzat is the best kind of human being, he doesn't care what religion anyone is, and I am exactly the same, but if your religion happens to be a militant one that wants to crush innocent people, then it takes on a new flavor. Christians have been killing each other and attacking Muslims for thousands of years, in this day and age it is not the other way around. Everything Bush said was part of a plan to start a terrible series of wars that this country could not adequately withdraw from. I hope this helps you understand, and for the record, I almost dumped or 'flushed' this comment because it insults a writer I think a great deal of. Anyone who wants to express similar sentiments might as well save their time.
