Freedom, What Is It?

A beautiful poem I've got from a good friend of mine....

AS I LAY IN MY BED, SLEEP ELUDES ME....... THOUGHTS OF THE PAST FEW WEEKS RUN THROUGH MY HEAD ...

THE WORD FREEDOM KEEPS FLOODING MY THOUGHTS... I'VE HEARD IT MY WHOLE LIFE ... BEING BORN IN A PLACE WHERE ITS HELD IN THE HIGHEST ESTEEM AND ENJOYING ALL IT'S BENEFITS ...

AS I LAY HERE AND PONDER IT'S MEANING ... I REALIZE ... IT'S NOT JUST A WORD THAT ROLLS OFF THE TIP OF THE TONGUE SO EASILY... NOR THE RINGING OF THE BELLS IN THE CITY STREETS IN CELEBRATION OF IT ...

I CONTEMPLATE WITH SUCH AN EARNEST DESIRE TO KNOW THE TRUE MEANING OF SUCH A THING ... THAT SO MANY WOULD... SACRIFICE THEIR LIVES FOR TO OBTAIN OR KEEP ...
AND SO MANY WOULD TRY TO WITHHOLD IT FROM OTHERS ...

PERPLEXED AT ALL THIS... MY MIND STILL DANCING WITH THESE THOUGHTS ... I TRY TO SLEEP BUT FREEDOM STILL RINGING ALOUD ! ! ! ...

THIS MAKES NO SENSE ... YOU CAN NOT PUT IT IN A BOX... OR LOCK IT UP IN A VAULT ... YET IT SEEMS TO BE A MOST PRECIOUS COMMODITY ...

A THING TO WHICH YOU CAN NOT HOLD IN YOUR HANDS ... LIKE THE WIND ... YOU CAN NOT SEE IT ... BUT YOU KNOW IT EXIST ... BECAUSE YOU FEEL THE EFFECTS OF IT AND YOU ENJOY IT'S GREAT BENEFITS ...

AS TIME MOVED FORWARD ... MY MIND WAS STUMBLING AROUND IN THE DARKNESS OF MY ROOM ... SECONDS ... THEN MINUTES ... THEN HOURS WENT BY... WHEN IN A QUICKNESS ... THE LIGHT BROKE THROUGH THE DARKNESS OF MY ROOM ...

THEN SUDDENLY I SAT UP AND REALIZED ... I HAD NOT SLEPT AT ALL... WITH THAT CAME THE REVELATION OF WHAT I HAD BEEN SEARCHING FOR ...

MY MIND WAS ENLIGHTENED ... AS THE VERY ROOM I WAS SITTING IN ... FREEDOM WAS A GIFT ... A BIRTH RIGHT ...

IT IS A GIFT FROM OUR CREATOR ... ENCODED IN OUR BEING ... IT'S IN OUR VERY SOUL ... IT IS AS MUCH A PART OF US AS OUR OWN BREATH ...

THE VERY PART OF US ... THAT ALLOWS US TO SOAR ... TO THE HEIGHTS OF OUR TALENTS ... OUR DREAMS AND OUR VISIONS ... THE ENDLESS PART OF CREATIVITY THAT MAKES US ...AN INDIVIDUAL ...

UNIQUE LIKE NON OTHER ... THEN ANOTHER THOUGHT CAME TO ME ... WHY SO MANY TRY TO STOP SUCH A GIFT FROM OPERATING IN ONES LIFE ...

JUST LIKE OUR BREATH IF IT'S TAKEN AWAY WE DIE. WHEN FREEDOM IS TAKEN AWAY OUR DREAMS AND VISIONS PERISH...

NO ONE CAN SEPARATE THAT GIFT FROM THE HEART. THE YEARNING FOR FREEDOM IS ALWAYS THERE!

SO WHY WOULD SOME ONE DO SUCH A HORRIBLE THING AS TO NOT ALLOW ANOTHER TO OPERATE IN HIS OWN FREEDOM.

THEN IT CAME TO ME IN SUCH A BITTER SWEET THOUGHT, IT IS USED TO CONTROL.

WE TAKE THE FREEDOM AWAY FROM A MAD DOG TO KEEP HIM FROM HURTING OTHERS, A MURDEROUS TWISTED OR DEMENTED PERSON FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL...

BUT WHAT ABOUT THOSE WHO WANT TO LIVE AS THE CREATOR HAD INTENDED...SHARING AND GIVING TO MANKIND?

SO WHAT ABOUT THOSE WHO ARE DESERVING TO HAVE SUCH A GIFT YET IT IS WITHHELD FROM THEM?

WHY THEN, WHEN THEY WOULD CLEARLY USE IT TO ENHANCE THE WORLD AROUND THEM WITH THEIR TALENTS AND GOOD DEEDS?

MAYBE JUST PLAIN IGNORANCE OR ARROGANCE. IT'S ALL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

SO WHY THEN WOULD THEY TRY TO IMPRISON THAT WHICH THEY CAN NOT HOLD?

OH FOOLISH ONE , YOU CAN NOT HOLD THE WIND IN YOUR HAND NOR SEPARATE ONES FREEDOM FROM THEIR HEART.

YOU CAN NOT TAKE AWAY WHAT THE CREATOR HAS GIVEN AS A GIFT.

YOU "CAN" TAKE AWAY ALL MY WORLDLY POSSESSIONS AND EVEN MY BREATH ... BUT YOU MAY NOT HAVE WHAT IS IN MY HEART!

BECAUSE IT IS MINE AND MINE ALONE, GIVEN BY MY CREATOR... IT IS MY RIGHT TO HAVE IT AND TO LIVE WITHIN ITS DESIGN...

FREEDOM PRECIOUS FREEDOM!!!

Favorite Quotes About Israel & Palestine

REMEMBER: ISRAEL IS BAD!
ITS EXISTENCE KEEPS REMINDING MUSLIMS WHAT A BUNCH OF LOSERS THEY ARE.

1) "Who can challenge the rights of the Jews to Palestine? Good Lord, historically, it is really your country."
~ Yusuf Diya al-Khalidi, Mayor of Jerusalem, in 1899. ~

2) "We Arabs, especially the educated among us, look with deepest sympathy on the Zionist movement.... We will wish the Jews a hearty welcome home... our two movements compliment one another."
~ Emir Faisal, a leader of the Arab world, in 1919. ~

3) Throughout his authorized biography (Alan Hart, Arafat: terrorist or peace maker) Arafat asserts at least a dozen times:
"The Palestinian people have no national identity. I, Yasser Arafat, man of destiny, will give them that identity through conflict with Israel."
~ Yasser Arafat ~

4) “We plan to eliminate the state of Israel and establish a purely Palestinian state. We will make life unbearable for Jews by psychological warfare and population explosion. . . . We Palestinians will take over everything, including all of Jerusalem.”
~ Yasser Arafat ~

5) "Peace for us means the destruction of Israel. We are preparing for an all out war, a war which will last for generations.
~Yasser Arafat~

6) "The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel. For our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of Palestinian people, since Arab national interest demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism".
~ Zahir Muhse'in, Member PLO Executive and the hoax of "Palestinian" identity - March 31, 1977 interview with the Amsterdam-based newspaper "Dagblad de Verdieping Trouw"~

7) "There is no such country as Palestine. 'Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented. There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria. 'Palestine' is alien to us. It is the Zionists who introduced it".
- Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, Syrian Arab leader to British Peel Commission, 1937 -

8) "There is no such thing as Palestine in history, absolutely not".
- Professor Philip Hitti, Arab historian, 1946 -

9) "It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but Southern Syria".
- Representant of Saudi Arabia at the United Nations, 1956

10) Concerning the Holy Land, the chairman of the Syrian Delegation at the Paris Peace Conference in February 1919 stated: "The only Arab domination since the Conquest in 635 c.e. hardly lasted, as such, 22 years".

11) " There is no Palestinian nation! There is an Arab nation, but no Palestinian nation. This was invented by the colonial powers. When are the Palestinians mentioned in history? Never."
~ Azmi Bishara, former Arab Knesset member, on Israel television. ~

12) "There is not a solitary village throughout its whole extent (valley of Jezreel, Galilea); not for thirty miles in either direction... One may ride ten miles hereabouts and not see ten human beings. For the sort of solitude to make one dreary, come to Galilee... Nazareth is forlorn... Jericho lies a mouldering ruin... Bethlehem and Bethany, in their poverty and humiliation... untenanted by any living creature... A desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over wholly to weeds... a silent, mournful expanse... a desolation... We never saw a human being on the whole route... Hardly a tree or shrub anywhere. Even the olive tree and the cactus, those fast friends of a worthless soil had almost deserted the country... Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes... desolate and unlovely...".
- Mark Twain, "The Innocents Abroad", 1867 -

13) "In 1590 a 'simple English visitor' to Jerusalem wrote: 'Nothing there is to bescene but a little of the old walls, which is yet remayning and all the rest is grasse, mosse and weedes much like to a piece of rank or moist grounde'.".
- Gunner Edward Webbe, Palestine Exploration Fund, Quarterly Statement, p. 86; de Haas, History, p. 338 -

14) "The land in Palestine is lacking in people to till its fertile soil".
- British archaeologist Thomas Shaw, mid-1700s -

15) "Palestine is a ruined and desolate land".
- Count Constantine François Volney, XVIII century French author and historian -

16) "The Arabs themselves cannot be considered but temporary residents. They pitched their tents in its grazing fields or built their places of refuge in its ruined cities. They created nothing in it. Since they were strangers to the land, they never became its masters. The desert wind that brought them hither could one day carry them away without their leaving behind them any sign of their passage through it".
- Comments by Christians concerning the Arabs in Palestine in the 1800s -

17) "Then we entered the hill district, and our path lay through the clattering bed of an ancient stream, whose brawling waters have rolled away into the past, along with the fierce and turbulent race who once inhabited these savage hills. There may have been cultivation here two thousand years ago. The mountains, or huge stony mounds environing this rough path, have level ridges all the way up to their summits; on these parallel ledges there is still some verdure and soil: when water flowed here, and the country was thronged with that extraordinary population, which, according to the Sacred Histories, was crowded into the region, these mountain steps may have been gardens and vineyards, such as we see now thriving along the hills of the Rhine. Now the district is quite deserted, and you ride among what seem to be so many petrified waterfalls. We saw no animals moving among the stony brakes; scarcely even a dozen little birds in the whole course of the ride".
- William Thackeray in "From Jaffa To Jerusalem", 1844 -

18) "The country is in a considerable degree empty of inhabitants and therefore its greatest need is of a body of population".
- James Finn, British Consul in 1857 -

29) "The area was underpopulated and remained economically stagnant until the arrival of the first Zionist pioneers in the 1880's, who came to rebuild the Jewish land. The country had remained "The Holy Land" in the religious and historic consciousness of mankind, which associated it with the Bible and the history of the Jewish people. Jewish development of the country also attracted large numbers of other immigrants - both Jewish and Arab. The road leading from Gaza to the north was only a summer track suitable for transport by camels and carts... Houses were all of mud. No windows were anywhere to be seen... The plows used were of wood... The yields were very poor... The sanitary conditions in the village [Yabna] were horrible... Schools did not exist... The rate of infant mortality was very high... The western part, toward the sea, was almost a desert... The villages in this area were few and thinly populated. Many ruins of villages were scattered over the area, as owing to the prevalence of malaria, many villages were deserted by their inhabitants".
- The report of the British Royal Commission, 1913 -

So the concepts "Palestinians" and "Palestinian People" and "Palestinian nation" and "Palestinian national self-determination" and "historical Palestine" are all hoaxes to facilitate the Arab terrorist destruction of Israel. What does that tell us about what possible solutions to the conflict may work?..and what does it tell us about what will NOT work?

Favorite Quotes About Jordan IS Palestine

Here are several quotes from "officials" in the so-called Palestinian community.
LET THEM SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES!!!!

1) "We are the Government of Palestine, the army of Palestine and the refugees of Palestine."
~ The Prime Minister of Jordan, Hazza' al-Majali, August 23,1959 ~

2) "Palestine and Transjordan are one, for Palestine is the coastline and Transjordan the hinterland of the same country."
~ King Abdullah, at the Meeting of the Arab League, Cairo, 12th April 1948 ~

3) "Let us not forget the East Bank of the (River) Jordan, where seventy per cent of the inhabitants belong to the Palestinian nation."
~ George Habash, leader of the PFLP section of the PLO, writing in the PLO publication Sha-un Falastinia, February 1970

4) "Palestine is Jordan and Jordan is Palestine; there is one people and one land, with one history and one and the same fate."
~ Prince Hassan, brother of King Hussein, addressing the Jordanian National Assembly, 2nd February 1970 ~

5) "There is no family on the East Bank of the river (Jordan) that does not have relatives on the West Bank ... no family in the west that does not have branches in the east."
~ King Hussein, addressing the Jordanian National Assembly, 2nd February 1972 ~

6) "We consider it necessary to clarify to one and all, in the Arab world and outside, that the PALESTINIAN PEOPLE with its nobility and conscience is to be found HERE on the EAST Bank The WEST Bank and the Gaza Strip. Its overwhelming majority is HERE and nowhere else."
~ King Hussein, quoted in An-Hahar, Beirut, 24th August 1972 ~

7) "The Palestinians here constitute not less than one half of the members of the armed forces. They and their brothers, the sons of Transjordan, constitute the members of one family who are equal in everything, in rights and duties." (Quoted by BBC Monitoring Service)
~ King Hussein, on Amman Radio, 3rd February 1973 ~

8) "There are, as well, links of geography and history, and a wide range of interests between the two Banks (of the River Jordan) which have grown stronger over the past twenty years. Let us not forget that el-Salt and Nablus were within the same district - el-Balka - during the Ottoman period, and that family and commercial ties bound the two cities together."
~ Hamdi Ken'an, former Mayor of Nablus, writing in the newspaper Al-Quds, 14th March 1973 ~

9) "The new Jordan, which emerged in 1949, was the creation of the Palestinians of the West Bank and their brothers in the East. While Israel was the negation of the Palestinian right of self-determination, unified Jordan was the expression of it."
~ Sherif Al-Hamid Sharaf, Representative of Jordan at the UN Security Council, 11th June 1973 ~

10) Past "President Bourguiba (of Tunisia) considers Jordan an artificial creation presented by Great Britain to King Abdullah. But he accepts Palestine and the Palestinians as an existing and primary fact since the days of the Pharaohs. Israel, too, he considers as a primary entity. However, Arab history makes no distinction between Jordanians, Syrians and Palestinians. Most of them hail from the same Arab race, which arrived in the region with the Arab Moslem conquest."
~ Editorial Comment in the Jordanian Armed Forces' weekly, Al-Aqsa, Amman, 11th July 1973 ~

11) "With all respect to King Hussein, I suggest that the Emirate of Transjordan was created from oil cloth by Great Britain, which for this purpose cut up ancient Palestine. To this desert territory to the bast of the Jordan (River)., it gave the name Transjordan. But there is nothing in history which carries this name. While since our earliest time there was Palestine and Palestinians. I maintain that the matter of Transjordan is an artificial one, and that Palestine is the basic problem. King Hussein should submit to the wishes of the people, in accordance with the principles of democracy and self-determination, so as-to avoid the fate of his grandfather, Abdullah, or of his cousin, Feisal, both of whom were assassinated."
~ Past President Bourguiba of Tunisia, in a public statement, July 1973 ~

12) "The Palestinians and the Jordanians have created on this soil since 1948 one family - all of whose children have equal rights and obligations."
~ King Hussein, addressing an American Delegation, 19th February 1975 ~

13) "How much better off Hussein would be if he had been induced to abandon his pose as a benevolent 'host' to 'refugees' and to affirm the fact that Jordan is the Palestinian Arab nation-state, just as Israel is the Palestinian Jewish nation-state."
~ Editorial Comment in the publication The Economist of 19th July 1975 ~

14) "Palestine and Jordan were both (by then) under British Mandate, but as my grandfather pointed out in his memoirs, they were hardly separate countries. Transjordan being to the east of the River Jordan, it formed in a sense, the interior of Palestine."
~ King Hussein, writing in his Memoirs ~

15) "Those fishing in troubled waters will not succeed in dividing our people, which extends to both sides of the (River) Jordan, in spite of the artificial boundaries established by the Colonial Office and Winston Churchill half a century ago."
~ Yassir Arafat, in a statement to Eric Roleau ~

16) "Palestinian Arabs hold seventy-five per cent of all government jobs in Jordan."
~ The Sunday newspaper The Observer of 2nd March 1976 ~

17) "Palestinian Arabs control over seventy per cent of Jordan's economy."
~ The Egyptian newspaper Al Ahram of 5th March 1976 ~

18) "There should be a kind of linkage because Jordanians and Palestinians are considered by the PLO as one people."
~ Farouk Kadoumi, head of the PLO Political Department, quoted in Newsweek, 14th March 1977 ~

19) "Along these lines, the West German Der Spiegel magazine this month cited Dr George Habash, leader of one of the Palestinian organizations, as saying that 70 per cent of Jordan's population are Palestinians and that the power in Jordan should be seized." (Translated by BBC Monitoring Service)
~ From a commentary which was broadcast by Radio Amman, 30th June 1980 ~

20) "Jordan is not just another Arab state with regard to Palestine but, rather, Jordan is Palestine and Palestine is Jordan in terms of territory, national identity, sufferings, hopes and aspirations, both day and night. Though we are all Arabs and our point of departure is that we are all members of the same people, the Palestinian-Jordanian nation is one and unique, and different from those of the other Arab states."
~ Marwan al Hamoud, member of the Jordanian National Consultative Council and former Minister of Agriculture, quoted by Al Rai, Amman, 24th September 1980 ~

21) "The potential weak spot in Jordan is that most of the population are not, strictly speaking, Jordanian at all, but Palestinian. An estimated 60 per cent of the country's 2,500,000 people are Palestinians ... Most of these hold Jordanian passports, and many are integrated into Jordanian society."
~ Richard Owen, in an article published in The Times, 14th November 1980 ~

22) "There is no moral justification for a second Palestine."
~ The Freeman Center (September 3, 1993) ~
