GIVE ME A BREAK ! !
When they (non-semitic, atheist, Jewish, anti-Zionist “supporters”) criticise Islam, even while exposing their utter ignorance, it is “progressive”, and they are welcomed and celebrated inside the “Palestine solidarity movement”, but when Palestinians (Semites, Muslims) with profound knowledge of the subject matter, criticise Jewish ideology, they become “anti-Semites”, then they are “investigated”, estranged, excluded and expelled from their own “Palestine solidarity movement”!
Many of our Jewish anti-Zionist detractors in the solidarity movement, who throw accusations of anti-Semitism whenever a quote from Talmud or Mishneh Torah is posted, or whenever the the words, Jewish state, or Jewish ideology are mentioned, find it absolutely correct, acceptable and even “progressive” to bash Islam, as “inherently backward”, “chauvinist”, “racist”, “divisive” “sectarian”, “regressive” and to label it with whatever comes to their minds, as if copy-pasted from a tabloid newspaper.
The question is: Will PSC ever investigate and suspend Moshe Machover and Tony Greenstein for their anti-Islam racism and hate speech, as it did with other activists (including Palestinians) for their alleged “antisemitism” for the use of the word Jewish to refer to “israel”?
“The subsequent emergence of Islamism holds a false promise. While it poses a challenge to Western domination, it is backward looking and inherently unable to deliver progress” ~~~ Moshe Machover

Our problem is that most people who are learning about the Palestinian cause and are willing to help and support, are generally very principled and compassionate people.
From this perspective, they create a paradigm which fits their model of what they know about human societies.
They project their own feelings and understanding of the world, and innocently assume that “equal rights for all” under “one state” is actually the best solution.
That my friends would work in NORMAL circumstances, when we deal with people of similar mentality, i.e humanists and who believe in inclusiveness, multiculturalism and equality of mankind.
This is not the case in Palestine.
There we have a majority of SUPREMACISTS, EXCLUSIVISTS who believe they are the “chosen”.
They believe the rest of mankind are their slaves”.
Believing that they might one day accept Palestinians as equals is like believing that if we mix a cup of water hard enough, long enough, it will turn to a nice cup of coffee
One day soon, my friends, you will come to realize that just like the two states, the delusion of “one state” will also drop dead.
This is one main reason I have been warning and writing about the role of their ideology, without understanding of which, Palestinians and their supporters would continue to run like hamsters in a mill, exhausted to no avail.
We cannot devise appropriate strategy, unless we have defined aims which comes from clear understanding of the problem.
Friends who promote a “one state”, are not aware of the serious, nay catastrophic implications on Palestinians.
The major issue remains about OWNERSHIP RIGHTS of the STOLEN LANDS, as well as the APPARATUS of POWER which is, and will REMAIN in the hands of ideologically racist Jewish “israelis”
The ENTIRE LAND of PALESTINE was STOLEN.
No amount of soft persuasion is going to make ultra Jewish Zionist give an inch of it back.
Why can’t people see this is beyond me!
The one state means in plain language:
1) Inviting the Zionist entity to ANNEX and OCCUPY what is left of Palestine.
2) Blessing the invaders with the “right” to keep the LOOT of whatever they have captured through wars of conquest and aggression.
3) Enabling the invaders to ENLARGE and EXPAND their entity, a small step towards a “greater israel”.
4) Embracing the finalization of the Zionist project.
5) Campaigning to upgrade the Palestinians’ status from “occupied” to “slaves”, living under the boot of Jewish supremacists who see Palestinians and other goyim as animals created only to serve Jews.
Are we so naive to engage promoting such insanity?
No alternative to the Algerian model of FULL LIBERATION.
So friends, THINK ALGERIA … It has only been few decades ago since Algeria gained its liberation from French SETTLER COLONIZATION, which lasted almost 150 years.
When I talk about the Algerian model I mean:
REVOKING ISRAEL’S UN MEMBERSHIP: The racist genocidal occupation entity, which was in breach of UN Charters, which has violated and defied more UN resolutions and charter principles than any other. This illegitimate entity has no moral or legal ground whatsoever to be a member of the UN. Its membership is a disgrace on the face of humanity and a mockery of International Law. Israel’s UN membership should have never happened in the first place.
FULL SOVEREIGNTY of the Palestinian Nation over their ancestral country: Palestine, with a constitution and a political system of their own independent choice. That is least that can be done to compensate for the a century of aggression, thievery, and unwarranted subjugation.
PROSECUTION OF WAR CRIMINALS: plans of which should start immediately without delay, A Palestinian JUDICIARY and IMMIGRATION System, will respectively prosecute former “Israeli” criminals and their associates, and/or grant or decline on an individual basis, a RIGHT TO REMAIN, based on criteria solely to be defined by said Immigration and Integration Services, which would take into consideration the history of the individuals and the level of their participation in maintaining the occupation.
NATIONALISATION AND PALESTINIAN CITIZENSHIP: anyone who can prove non-participation in the ex-Israeli occupation apparatus, and who has demonstrated ability and willingness to a respectable and law-abiding conduct, will probably obtain a chance to gain unrestricted Palestinian citizenship, with equal rights… Jewish “Israelis” also have the right to go back to wherever country they came from, the have the same right to return to their native countries.
RETURN, RESTITUTION AND COMPENSATIONS: Palestine and the Palestinian Nation at large, are entitled to full and unconditional Restitution of their land and property whenever possible, assorted with appropriate Compensation for more than seven decades of deprivation and slow genocide, Cultural destruction, and a whole array of atrocities and usurpation..
It is pretty obvious that the model I propose will not be welcomed by “israelis”, nor will it come about by the “return” to negotiation no matter how intense the rounds may become. It will not happen by “road maps” either, nor by sudden change of heart coupled with pure acts of kindness and generosity of “israelis”
RESISTANCE, is the keyword.
Moreover, “israel” cannot afford peace; it relies on wars, wars and more wars for its very internal survival.
“israel” cannot afford to live even for a moment of real permanent peace, simply because its INTERNAL SURVIVAL requires an ever present “EXTERNAL THREAT”, which allows that incohesive assortment of people to stick together and prevents that society from imploding from within.
That society is divided more than anyone could imagine. But its ills are concealed by an utterly exaggerated bordering mythical history of persecution, and an extremely terrifying future with a holocaust around every corner and a new Hitler popping his head in different country each time. Thus turning their present into a perpetual war-preparation and being in a permanent standby state.
Furthermore, in such state of affairs, i.e with this need for wars to stay alive, there is another crucial component, “israel” cannot afford to lose any of its wars. Any loss for “israel” is an END GAME…. GAME OVER.
Logically speaking:
1) If “israel” gets peace ===> “israel” would implode from within ===> GAME OVER
2) If “israe” continues wars of aggression ===> For it to survive, “israel” must win every single war ===>
“israel” is bound to lose one war ===> GAME OVER
For them, it is simply a lose lose situation… For us, to gain liberation, it is only a matter of time and patience, and Palestinians have got plenty of both.

Ethnic Cleansing and the Israeli “Center “
“now you start to see where the supposed center and the far right really line up, and it’s not just the center, it’s EVERYONE ALL THE WAY to merits, to the EXTREME END OF THE ZIONIST LEFT, they REJECT THE IDEA THAT ISRAEL IS A STATE FOR ALL ITS CITIZENS and they all engaged in this mock debate which really is over the size of the cage Palestinian will live in, jumbo size, or small, because they ALL AGREE ISRAEL HAS TO ENGINEER A JEWISH DEMOGRAPHIC MAJORITY against the will of the indigenous Palestinian population, the question is how to do it” ~~~ Max Blumenthal author of Goliath – Life and Loathing in Greater Israel.
Bearing this in mind, as well as acknowledging the ideological supremacy amongst “israeli” Jews, the question which begs an answer is: why do many of the Jewish anti-Zionist left continue to deceive Palestinians into believing that “one state for all” is what they should pursue as the best solution, instead of FULL LIBERATION?

Just 5 miles away from the heart of Jerusalem, my besieged village has been converted to a concentration camp, where villagers are entrapped with only one access to the outside world, through an international-border-like checkpoint. The original road which connected Beit Iksa to Jerusalem through Beit Hanina has been permanently blocked, No one is allowed to enter except people from the village.
There is about 1200 people living in Beit Iksa, on an ever shrinking land due to military confiscation, but the vast majority (estimated 10000) are still living in exile, prevented from returning home by the Jewish-Zionist occupation.
The village was attacked in 1948, forcing the villagers out into refugee camps, leaving the old village centre completely destroyed, while the looting and burning the rest.
The villagers were able to return back to their half destroyed village after cease fire in 1949. My mother at the time was seven years old.
In 1967, a war to which I was an eyewitness, aged also seven years old, my village was ethnically cleansed for the second time, but this time those of us who evacuated in search of safety were never allowed back.
As the village was under heavy bombardment, the villagers with their fresh memories of the echoing cries of slaughtered families of Deir Yassin, panicked and started fleeing in all directions.
A group of families ended up in a nearby village, Beit Duqou, where we were kept for six days, in what I thought to be an underground shelter – only to find out 35 years later that it was a big tomb in the village grave yard.
My father who was in Syria at the time, sitting his final exams in Law School, was unable to cross the borders to be with us. The borders were open only in one direction, people were allowed, helped and encouraged through loud-speakers to leave Palestine for their own safety.
Searching for a place of safety for her five children, my young mother, alone, frightened and unable to feed or protect her children decided to join my father and to take us to a place of safety until war was over.
It has been forty six years since then, we are still waiting to go back home.
The checkpoint of Beit Iksa, looks more like a concentration camp entrance
Beit Iksa used to have one road, which also used to connect the village to Jerusalem… It has been permanently closed for at least four years now.
My village was ethnically cleansed and partially destroyed in 1948

Promoting “one state” after the failure of the “two states” means in plain language:
1) Legitimizing the usurping entity of “israel”, worse, it is a call for promoting the enlargement of its boundaries, to encompass the ENTIRE land of Palestine, by annexing what remains of Palestine.
2) Wiping out the Palestinian Identity by giving Palestinians “israeli” citizenship, thus covertly calling for the “israelization” of what remains of Palestinians.
3) Inviting the Zionist entity to ANNEX and OCCUPY what is left of Palestine.
4) Blessing the invaders with the “right” to keep the LOOT of whatever they have captured through wars of conquest and aggression.
5) Enabling the invaders to ENLARGE and EXPAND their entity, a small step towards a “greater israel”.
6) Embracing the finalization of the Zionist project.
7) Campaigning to upgrade the Palestinians’ status from “occupied Palestinian” to “slave israelis”, living under the boot of Jewish supremacists who see Palestinians and other goyim as animals created only to serve Jews.
Are we so naive to engage promoting such insanity?

Through my interaction with many people of Jewish background, I began to notice that many amongst them have been conditioned and psychologically indoctrinated to think in terms of “us, and the world“.
The nature of the state of connectedness between them and the world is defined from a very young age in an unhealthy terms, thus as they grow older, the dynamics of this twisted relationship takes a very peculiar slant, an unbalanced bondage between an innocent persecuted perpetually victimised minority and a hostile, ruthless, hateful world collective.
Evidently, such perspective is very different from that of the non-Jewish observer, especially people in the Middle East who are not burdened with the guilt of the holocaust, nor experienced that sort of historical discord amongst its multi-faithed communities, who also have been, for over seventy decades, at the receiving end of the violence and brutality of Jewish-Zionist occupiers.
The manifestation of “us and them” mentality appears in beliefs and thoughts like:
For no particular reason there is global hatred against Jews which is inexplicable and incurable. Hatred which is spread all over the world geographically and historically,
They are an endangered species if they don’t aggressively and exclusively work to preserve their “race”, they will end up extinct,
There is a holocaust around every corner awaiting to exterminate them to the point of total annihilation,
Their “core Jewish values” are supreme set of morals unmatched by others, it contains nothing but good,
They are, for whatever inexplicable reason (genetic/nurtured for the secular and miraculous/ divine, for the religious) “smarter” and more successful than others,
Their “financial success”, their “intelligence” and their “achievements” made them subjects of envy, hatred and jealousy thus persecution throughout history,
Throughout history people rejected them and ghettoised them against their wishes,
This vendetta of the world against them calumniated in the catalytic event of the holocaust, which was the worst crime humanity has ever seen, has pushed them to stick together, choosing “Never again” as their inspirational motto shared by all,
Thus fighting antisemitism and affirming the narrative of their rabbinic establishment about their “history of persecution” is a prime priority surpassed by none, it is the only way to “prevent” the upcoming holocaust,
They have to be permanently on guard, vigilant and alert to pick up the slightest sign of “antisemitism” and to catch it and kill it before it hatches,
They are a tiny minority having to survive in a sea of hatred, wherever they are, thus every member and his/her efforts count,
The global Jewish communities are innocent victims used by imperialism and Zionism and not supporters, enablers and alibis of the “Jewish state” and its crimes,
Having lived almost my entire life in forced exile, psychologically and emotionally strangled by the occupation of my Homeland, observing only an intensification of their crimes, and having being at the receiving end of an artificially-generated, Zionist-fomented Islamophobia, this absurd claim and mantra “the world is antisemitic and hates us with no reason” began to really annoy and enrage me, for it is an incredibly skewed perception reality, of oneself and of the world.
Such perception reeks of anti-human, actually of human-loathing sentiments, for its hidden connotations indirectly accuse humanity of pure evil, irrationality and stupidity combined, consequently makes-believe that they are way better than such “infantile human race”, superior in their morality and intellect, for they don’t stoop to such lows of “irrational hatred”. Thus, by this assumption about the existence of an innate hatred of Jews in the human condition, they set themselves morally apart and above the rest of mankind.
After many years of studying Jewish ideology, I came to believe that such perception of world hatred is nothing but projection. It is in fact a concealment for the inadequate and troubling feelings which may arise when they read the anti-human deluge in many of their sacred books and when they listen to Torah’s Commander-in-Chief teaching them that gentiles only exist to serve Jews.
In order to justify and explain away the supremacist hate-filled books about the “inherent evil” and the “inferiority” of the gentiles, compared to those who are “chosen”, they find solace and easing of conscience by accusing gentiles of irrationality and unfathomable “Jew-hatred”. Consequently -except for the brave few, they NEVER EVER find the courage, modesty or decency to look in the mirror and question the racist and supremacist ideology glaring and screaming at any objective observer. Never having the honesty and sincerity to reevaluate their deeds through which they either actively or passively support a criminal genocidal entity (except for the few, who then get accused of self-hatred, ostracised and persecuted).
Like spoiled little brats, who got used to getting their own little way, to do what they want and bully whomever they want, without ever being held accountable, they shout, scream and throw a tantrum whenever they are told off or confronted with truth.
Where is antisemitism when they brag about their control of the media, and go insane when someone points out that somehow the media might be biased in its reporting towards “Israel”?
Where is antisemitism when some are so desperate to prove their victimhood status, so much so that they even fake antisemitic attacks just to continue playing the game and to earn sympathy, while their brethren continue their seventh decade of slow genocide in Palestine?
Where is antisemitism when the funeral of a racist supremacist Rabbi -who believed that gentiles exist only to serve Jews, was attended by 16% of “Israeli” Jews, 800,000 followers and devotees?
Tough inner journey has to be undertaken to eventually help those who search for truth and to enable them to see the perceptive of the gentile outsider, mixed with a little bit of empathy and humbleness, i.e putting themselves in the shoes of the “non chosen” for a little while and try to see the world from that perspective:
Those who refuse to look within, reject making this painful journey, clutch to layers of indoctrinations, and ignore serious questions of the self, as to why do they behave in such an irrational, stiff and reactionary manner when Jewish ideology is brought to table, and why do they want to keep such ideology beyond the boundaries of discussion ;
Those who refuse to shake their super-sized ego and look it in the eye, feeling snug and satisfied with their own fixated views and rejecting the idea that there might be different views out there;
Those who continue to chase phantom ghosts outside their own selves, thinking that doing so would ease their fear of the “upcoming holocaust” and would slay the ogres of “antisemitism” infesting the imagination of their indoctrinated childhood;
They are hugely mistaken.
Concealing the monster and covering it with however many layers of distractions, will not make it go away. As long as it is kept hidden and unspoken of, that monster will not die, it will always stay lurking beneath the surface waiting to jump and raise its ugly head any moment. That monster is an ideology of “chosenness”, “exclusivity” and “specialness” and a perceived history of “perpetual exceptional suffering”, both of which have to be brought up for open discussion, challenged and put on trial, before mankind put them, their ideology, their history and their crimes against humanity on trial.
Finally, if their aim is to prevent “antisemitism” and to stop hatred against Jews, our aim is to prevent anti-humanism, genocidal supremacy and to stop many Jewish ideologists from HARMING to DEATH Palestinians and many people around the world.

Why Palestinians should resist and NOT accept to be dragged and distracted, by the so called Jewh-anti-Zionist “supporters” into fighting side battles of “antisemitism”, “holocaust denial”, “conspiracy theories” and “LGBT rights”:
Under the pretext of fighting anti-Semitismand racism, the hijackers aim to obfuscate and cover up any study or scrutiny of Jewish supremacy and racism .
Under the pretext of fighting racism and anti-Semitism the goal of the hijackers is to block and prevent serious investigation of global Jewish Zionist networks and organizations in their respective Jewish communities world wide, and their role in supporting, defending and protecting the criminal Zionist entity.
Under the pretext of the uniqueness and exceptionality of Jewish suffering, they aim to justify the need of the perpetual existence of a “state for the Jews”, a “homeland for the Jewish people” in Palestine, an “Israel”, a “safe-haven” where the “eternally persecuted” Jews can finally call “home”, where they can exercise their “sovereign rights” to be a “nation”; be it as it may, an invented one, and be it as it may at the expense of another nation and the almost total extermination and dispossession of another people through wars of conquest and genocide. They call their omnibous solution, a Secular state for ALL its citizens. Hence preparing the ground of the soft, cultural, factual and permanent TAKE OVER of Palestine (early Zionists called that type of soft takeover, Cultural Zionism).
Under thepretext of the uniqueness and exceptionality of Jewish suffering, our detractors want to impose on Palestinians to give up their rights to resist and defend themselves, they want Palestinians to abandon the idea of reinstatement of their stolen land, and to impose on them the acceptance of sharing permanently their land with those who oppressed and dispossessed them for decades, those who have systematically violated, desecrated and destroyed the beloved land of Palestine.
Under the pretext of avoiding“conspiracy theories”, we are forbidden from examining the role ofFALSE FALG operations, a speciality “perfected” by Mossad, thus fail to identify real culprits and point our accusations at the wrong target.
Under the pretext of becoming “progressive” and “liberal”, and by tying our cause with campaigns like “gay and LGBT rights” we take a huge risk of becoming their vehicle to promote their agenda at our backs, while destroying in the process all that which is precious in our culture, the welfare of the child, the family the community, the cohesiveness of society and sink into the abyss of moral degradation, for we know for a fact that the calls for such “freedoms” will not stop there , and will continue to push for more perversion, until nothing is left to protect.

Is it fair to abuse little girls like so, and push them to become sex objects?
A reflection on the implication of politicisation of sexual behaviour/ orientation and itsinfringement on children’s rights, all this in relation to the Palestinian cause
Disclaimer:
This article is not a condonation or justification of any form of discrimination or persecution against people with various sexual orientations or disorders, it is a mere expression of an opinion and sharing of concerns associated with promoting explicit sexual education amongst children and pressurising other societies to change their codes of ethics, thus destroying the cradle of child-protection, the family unit being the foundation of these societies.
Introduction
For whatever reason, I often find myself engaged in writing about taboo topics which very few are willing to touch, and expressing “politically incorrect” views, which no one is willing to even ponder about, this article is just one of those.
One of the main reasons that pushed me to speed up and write this article, besides its core subject, the welfare of children, is my observation of some huge efforts which have been exerted to make the issue of “sexual orientation” an integral part of the Palestinian struggle for Liberation!
As a mother and a grandmother with great love and devotion for children, as a human being with intense concern for children’s welfare, and as Palestinian, with a deep rooted culture, in which FAMILY -not the individual, is the nucleus of society, I feel the need to drop my two cents on the issue of adult sexual behaviour and the need of child protection.
Palestinian culture, being predominantly Muslim, is essentially a culture of faith where believing in a Creator, accepting that actions have consequences and taking responsibility for people’s own deeds are core concepts in its philosophy.
Most socio-dynamics in Islamic societies stems from that belief; starting with God-man relationship, ending with man-nature relationship, including all which is in-between. i.e. the boundaries of personal freedoms, and extents of responsibilities in the human-human relationship.
Such traditional culture views society NOT as the sum of its individuals, behaving as disconnected atoms floating in a vacuum, but rather the very expanded social collective of families and extended families, which results is a neatly woven, well bonded social fabric, in which the welfare of the whole is understood to precede that of the individual. Acting exactly as an organic body, of which all cells are connected and important.
At the heart of such societies the concept of “All mankind are born free but OUR FREEDOM ENDS WHEN THE FREEDOM OF OTHERS BEGINS”.
Such culture puts very strong emphasis on the role of traditional family in the upbringing, welfare, health and protection of its children (the nucleus family ; consisting of mother and father, and the extended family consisting of relatives as well as neighbours and friends)
Is it not only reasonable then to assume that any ideology or practices which prioritises the INDIVIDUAL and puts their selfish desires up and above the welfare of the whole, might not fulfil the needs of a deeply religious, family oriented and tightly woven society?
If Muslims choose freely to have some restriction upon themselves (like modest dress code, abstinence from consuming alcohol or self-discipline in sexual behaviour) in order to create a more attentive and more protective, more family oriented atmosphere for the sake of its most vulnerable members, namely children, what harm is there in that?
If the support for human rights in Palestine or elsewhere in the world is conditional and dependent on people denouncing their religion, cultural heritage, and social traditions and adopting new sets of social behaviour alien to them, which only mirrors that of the West; does not that mean denying them a most basic human right, the right to think, and live within a specific ethical code and legal system of their own choice?
The East has different history and different experiences, different perspective on existential issue and different views of the world. It has different social structures, different ways of dealings with it’s social wells and of healing its ills, thus it is nonsensical and rather presumptuous to assume that East and West share exactly the same problems, thus need the same solutions!
TRANSFERRING the PROBLEMS of the West onto the East, then JUXTAPOSING the SAME SOLUTIONS on the East is rather shortsighted and very condescending, IMHO.
Trying to standardise and sum up humanity in the form of Western civilisation is a grave mistake. We can’t simply assume that what is good and right for the western culture is the norm, nor we can accept that it is superior to that of other cultures, and for me this is a BASIC HUMAN RIGHT. The Muslim world has suffered enormously from colonial imperialism, military and economic occupation, we are longing for FREEDOM, but the freedom that we long most for is the FREEDOM of THOUGHT.
We have to come to common grounds of accepting that each culture and civilization has its own structure that depends very much on a huge heritage and millennia of accumulated experiences, understanding this and respecting it is vital for the future peaceful existence of human race.
Now, coming to the topic of LGBT and homosexuality:
I don’t think it is my business, or anyone’s business for that matter to know what people do in their bedrooms, or to be exposed to such private matters, let alone be asked to support, take pride in, demonstrate for, or celebrate what people do in the privacy of their own homes.
However, like every issue in the world, people are entitled to express an opinion or to have personal views on it, such views should not be considered as “persecution”, “infringement”, or “violation of the human rights” of LGBT or homosexuals.
For me personally, what makes me cringe about this issue :
it is the deliberate forceful insertion and the politicisation of a private intimate bedroom act , pushing it to become one pivotal item on the global political agenda and one of the main if not THE main factor in determining the “progressiveness” and “liberality” of any one society or political group,
It is the unfathomable defence and glorification and campaigning for the “rights” of convicted sexual predators and child abusers when they face courts of justice for their criminal molestation of children. (That does not necessity mean that I approve of such type of punishment, however I strongly disapprove of letting child molesters escape justice and roam freely, hurting ever more children),
All the above should raise red flags in any decent person’s head, it should ring alarm bells and concern with those who care about children’s welfare and wellbeing.
.
Is this FREEDOM, or SLAVERY? Is it human rights or abuse of humanity?
I see so much contradiction in dealing with these issues in Western societies:
Campaigning for human rights of one group yet being ever so quiet about other groups of similar tendencies.
Trying to shelter children from abuse yet see nothing wrong in putting them in a situation where they might be endangered; emotionally, mentally and psychologically abused.
Allow me here to storm your brains by throwing out some questions:
Homosexuality is what it is, a sexual orientation, like any other, so why make it into a defining identity?
Why should people be defined and take so much “pride” by such a narrow aspect of their behaviour, done in the privacy of their own bedrooms?
Why should the rest of mankind -including the young ones, engage in promoting, celebrating and taking pride in the sexual act of some of its adult members?
Why should humanity be split into two categories : hetro, homo, thus identified by such limiting and insignificant parameters?
Is civility and respect of human rights measured by its celebration of how fast growing its homosexual population?
Is it not total regression, to define ourselves merely by our sexuality -rather than by our morality and intellect?
Can we define humanity by two groups: those who love to sleep on their backs and those who prefer sleeping on their sides or tommies?
Can we start having “Pride Parades” for left-handed people, or for people who prefer using coloured tissue-paper in the bathroom, rather than the common white, for they too are minorities?
Do the words “WE DO NOT CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHERS DO BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, IN THE PRIVACY OF THEIR BEDROOMS, SO PLEASE DON’T BOTHER US WITH IT” mean anything to anybody?
If this zealous support of homosexuality is all about human rights, why do people in the west favour to defend the human rights of homosexuals yet they are not so keen on the human right of:
For the sake of fairness, equal opportunity and refusal of double standards, should we not broaden the scope of tolerance and change the name of LGBT to this LGBTEFIZMNTCSVP?
All the above display “less-common” sexual behaviours. Just like homosexuals, they too can not control the impulses and desires they feel, and they are only sexually fulfilled in their own different way, so should they be invited to schools to “educate” children about their sexual peculiarities?
Should humanity celebrate a week “pride parade” for each and every sexual orientation or deviation there is?
Why are they –unlike homosexuals- given medical advice and psychological treatment instead of being accepted as they are?
Why are they forced by society to suppress their feelings and “live miserably” instead of promoting and celebrating their sexual habits in public?
Who can define sexual disorder, or “normal” and “abnormal”, who is allowed to vote?
Who has the right to draw the lines?
Why is it that those who view homosexuality and transgender as disorders are condemned and accused of being homophobes?
Do exhibitionists have the right to fulfil their desires and take pride in their sexuality by imposing their nudity and public sexual behaviour on society?
Whose rights come first exhibitionists or society and its children?
Do we become cruel, anti-human-rights bigots and exhibiphobes if we objected to the public sexual gratification of exhibitionists?
What about Zoophilia (people who are attracted to animals) or Necrophilia (gratification by having sexual contact with dead bodies), should that be legalised?
Is a man entitled to marry a dog, a goat, a corpse, or a woman’s underwear in church?
Why are such individuals not allowed to promote their sexuality, teach children about it and celebrate it publicly?
Is it appropriate and healthy to have children reading stories titled “My daddy John and my mummy black & red underwear”?
Will there be human right groups calling for the right of those people to get married and adopt children? After all this person is only expressing his love and is harming no one in the process?
Are we sure that teaching very small children all this intimate adult materials would have no negative effect on their emotional, psychological and mental state ?
Is a 16 year-old a child? Is 12, 13, 14, 15 year-old a child?
Why then girls and boys as young as 12 are – by law- given contraceptive on demand?
Is it ok for children to have sexual relations with mates of similar age or a few years older?
How many years difference is deemed acceptable?
What age difference makes the relationship unlawful and wrong (Paedophiliac)?
Who can regulate and have the say on this?
What about the rights of adopted children, what effect will have on their psychological health, having two mums or two dads, and not knowing their biological parents?
Nowadays, where exactly is the persecution of homosexuals in the west, where is the abuse of their human rights?
Where is it all heading?
Is there an end to how far humanity would go in its abuse of children in order to gravitate its most primitive behaviour?
Is expressing an opinion considered “infringement on rights”?
Moreover, why impose on the rest of the world, Western definitions, Western values, Western problems, and inflict Western solutions upon them?
Isn’t that yet another form of imperialism, i.e thought imperialism?
If Western countries along with with LGBT and gay-rights “activists” are so keen to help other “undeveloped” societies into “progress”, wouldn’t their help be much more appreciated when it gives the other the freedom they desire in devising their own social structure and the respect they deserve in choosing ethical codes of their own?
.
They may never have experienced the so called “freedom” of having relationships outside the frame of marriage, but they are committed, faithful and content
Wouldn’t be more modest to learn about other cultures, how they function, how their people interact, and how they solve problems, resolve conflicts and deal with disagreements, before thinking of exporting ideas, educating others’ children and imposing their solutions to imaginary problems?
Do we have sufficient knowledge as to the effect of early exposure to certain explicit sexual materials or behaviour might have on young children, how harmful?
Who have the right to decide what is appropriate, descent, acceptable exposure for children?
How do you feel if in other societies, majority of its citizens view homosexuality as a disorder?
In societies where the welfare of the whole is much important than the individual, who are encouraged to practice self restraint, sacrifice, and altruism, rather than pursuing selfish fulfilment and egoism, if they willingly give up some desires in order to keep a healthy society and less traumatized children; why the obsession with imposing change?
If some societies cherish family unit as foundations of a healthy society, and views protection, care and commitment as the finest expression of love, thus producing a socially cohesive and healthy society, where the weak is looked after and the needy is provided for, why attempting to replace it with failed experiments as documented in many Western societies, where family units are disintegrating and individualism is eating the fabric of society away?
Now, is the issue of promoting and celebrating homosexuality (again, I reiterate, a private act which should not be anyone’s business) related to the Palestinian struggle for Liberation?
Are we obliged to start teaching our young Palestinian boys and girls about homosexual and LGBT “persecution” and “abuse of human rights” in order to be “accepted” as “progressive” society worthy of support?
Are we obliged to start competing with”Israel” which prides itself of being gay heaven in order for our supporters to be satisfied?
Just like attempting to tie our Palestinian struggle for liberation with causes which only distracts us from focusing on our goals and deplete our energies, like fighting “antisemitism”, “holocaust denial”, or “conspiracy theories”, pretending that this is the way for Palestine liberation, we refuse the imposition and the premises that the issue of “homosexuality is central to our cause”.
We refuse to consider sexual orientation issues as primal or urgent issues to be dealt with immediately, or that it the most burning issue in our quest for justice and freedom, when we have not yet achieved the most basic and fundamental human right ever, the right of SURVIVAL,
We do not accept to see our Palestinian struggle for freedom hijacked and used by some campaign groups who try to piggy-back on the Palestine cause in order to promote their own agenda and campaigns for “sexual freedom”, which would only distract, complicate and skew the essense of Palestine issues.
Moreover, this issue should be left to the Palestinians and other societies to examine, discuss and deal with, in its own time and in accordance with its own ethics and what is best for those societies.
We refuse to be distracted and our aims obscured by side issues while we struggle for survival facing threats of genocidal magnitude.
They may be struck with extreme poverty, but they are protective of one another They are bonded with love and commitment
My fear is that all this promotion and disproportionate importance given to homosexuality, would be used as the first crack in the foundational rock of human ethics which took mankind millennia of evolution and slow progress in order to fine-tune complex and refined moral systems founded on justice and compassion, thus followed by all sorts of sexual ill-behaviours; child molesting, beastality, and incest would cause total regression and collapse of nucleus family units bringing us back to stone age.
If prematurely and inappropriately and for selfish reasons, children are to be exposed to all these types of adult sexual behaviour, are we not allowed to cry then, where is the their safety and protection? Isn’t all this direct infringement on children’s right?
The wonders of purity and innocence of childhood is precious Do not take it away
Conclusion
It is more wise, humanly decent and respectable to let various societies -especially the ones under threat of eradication, like the Palestinian society, exercise their rights of freedom of thought, by following ethical code of their own choice and without manufacturing artificial consent imposed upon them by donor countries or any other pressure group.
It is more wise, humanly decent and respectable to let children be children, do not rob them of their purity and childhood.
Children are not meant to be exposed to concepts, images, words or acts which they are not ready for.
Allow them time to enjoy being young and innocent and carefree, without having to be burdened with adult stuff.
Allow them to grow up and mature in their own time.
Allow them to play without concern, to run light-heartedly and to laugh loudly when they slide or use a swing.
Allow them to BE.
Give them protection Allow them to play Allow them to jump and run Allow them to have fun Allow them freedom to BE

This article is not a condonation or justification of any form of discrimination or persecution against people with various sexual orientations or disorders, it is a mere expression of an opinion and sharing of concerns associated with promoting explicit sexual education amongst children and pressurising other societies to change their codes of ethics, thus destroying the cradle of child-protection, the family unit and the foundation of these societies.
Palestinians are at the heart of the conflict in the M.E Palestinians uprooted by force of arms.. Yet faced immense difficulties have survived, kept alive their history and culture, passed keys of family homes in occupied Palestine from one generation to the next.
