Good evening all. I hope you have a great New Year, and hope we're are outta here very soon! > Once again, I had to respond to anti Jewish libel, this time from "Natural News." this is what I said: Good morning. I was noticing your biased coverage of the Israeli Palestinian issue, especially the West Bank issue. The real history is that the Jews settled barren land in the Jordan Valley/ West Bank in the late 19th century when almost no one was there, except a very few nomadic Bedouin. In 1948, Jordan invaded the area, destroying dozens of Israeli communities and driving out all the Jews. Then the United Nations built many settlements in the West Bank to lure homeless arabs coming there from across the middle east. There are almost no native arab palestinians. They all came into the area from Syria, Egypt, et/al. Read Mark Twain's book "innocents Abroad." He toured the entire Holy Land in 1870, writing about how NO ONE was there, it was a desert! The Jews started settling the marshes in the Jordan Valley/ West Bank in the 1880s. Then, Arabs from Syria and Egypt arrived trying to drive the Jews out, taking their land. Which the Ottoman Turks stopped, BTW. That is the truth you are ignoring. And yes, I write articles for Christian blogs & etc. Lewis Brackett in San Diego.
