[...] Global Voices Online pide que hoxe a blogosfera dedique a data a rememorar o padecemento do pobo palestino. O motivo da escolla é que foi un 15 de maio de hai xa 60 anos que o pobo israelí decidiu asentarse nunha terra que non era súa, o cal deu lugar ao conflito de Oriente Medio, que dura até hoxe. A desigual correlación de forzas, co indignante apoio dos EEUU a Israel, fai que o movemento antiimperialista non poida estar máis que do lado palestino e reclamar dende xa a fin da ocupación e do uso da violencia.

Mr Reason
if you say the term/area Palestine was known to the romans, why did you type in yr first comment that the word Palestine didnt exist before 20th century?..you just thought the lie would go unnoticed as usual.
and if you say the international aggreements gave 43% for the palestinians why isnt Israel giving back what Israel stole?..they even decided to keep Golan hights and shebaa farms lebanon and probably would have been in South lebanon had they not been kicked out..I will tell you why..coz Israelis are thieves, and would keep every inch they can keep even it was in Hawaii..
it is truely shameful that when we are talking about the 60 years palestinian catastrophe you would find some people blaming the victim for being victimized.

reason:
With all due respect, it appears that it is you who should do a little more reading.

1. The term “Palestine” started appearing around the 5th century BC. Even the Romans had a district called “Palaestina” in that area.

2. The 1947 partition plan gave 56% of the land to the proposed Jewish state, and about 43% to the proposed Arab state. So not more than half as you claimed.

3. Arafat could have never accepted the offer in Camp David because it did not give east Jerusalem (where the Palestinians live) to the Palestinians. There would have been an uproar on the streets had he done so.

4. Most recently, right after the Annapolis conference of last year –during which Israel said they’ll freeze settlement building. Israel continued expanded settlements just two days after coming back from the conference. There were no bombings, no rockets, nothing from the Palestinians to justify that.. they just did not have interest to abide by Annapolis it seems.

So, please get your facts straight. Do some Googling before you type.

the word palestine didnt exist before 20th century?..you are nuts..go read your old testament and see how many times its mentioned..tell me what was the country called before judaism?..was it called the land awaiting to be Israel?..what a liar
you say the Israelis left Gaza?..you mean forced out of it, and kept bombarding it on a daily basis, and doing daily excursions to it to arrest anyone they want.
Israel has assasinated/poisoned Arafat after it seiged him and bombed his residence for years, and you talk about his REIGN?..and what did offer the poor man?..separate ghettos here and there like the native indian reservations in the US..
and by the way..the jewish people who populated christianity are not jews anymore..those are modern day palestinians..get a grip on history!!!

eddnash-surely you jest. It’s obvious that you know just about NOTHING about Christianity- a religion that was populated initially by Jewish people. The fact that the word ‘palestine’ didn’t even exist until the 20th century seems to have eluded you as ell as the fact that the PRIMARY reason for their situation today is the refusal by the arab “brothers” to assist them in any way other than to supply them with arms. You really should study the facts a bit more before you post. Had the arabs agreed to the initial partition at the end of WWI they would have ended up with 80% of the are that came to be called Palestine, had they agree to the partition in 1947, they would have ended up with over half, and had Yasser Arafat agreed to the settlement offered during his “reign” they would be much better off than they are today. Also, most of the problems that currently face the Gaza residents can be traced directly to the Hamas-not the Israelis, who, incidently- left the Gaza almost three years ago.
