Now they all exist and Palestine doesn't yet.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You will read that there never was a Palestine from a certain quarter and how can you miss what you never had. How you know they are lying! They'll say that as they are all Arabs that there's enough room for them all. It's like saying that the Scots Welsh and Irish are all Celts and one state would do them all! Yes, there was a time when such thinking was regarded as valid. If we had the Age of Imperialism back then the Brits might validly have a claim on the USA and most of the rest of the world.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In the present imperialism, if the existent holder of the gunboat diplomacy role, the USA, decided to sort out Palestine's present difficulties it could in a breath. Hopefully in a more honourable fashion that the last gunboat holder did.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=British_Mandate_of_Palestine&amp;oldid=223547454" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=British_Mandate_of_Palestine&amp;oldid=223547454"&gt;en.wikipedia.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;Mandate of Palestine&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;was a &lt;A title="League of Nations Mandate" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_Nations_Mandate"&gt;League of Nations Mandate&lt;/A&gt; created after the &lt;A title="First World War" class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_World_War"&gt;First World War&lt;/A&gt; when the &lt;A title="Ottoman Empire" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Empire"&gt;Ottoman Empire&lt;/A&gt; was split up by the &lt;A title="Treaty of Sèvres" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_S%C3%A8vres"&gt;Treaty of Sèvres&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:Palestine-Mandate-Ensign-1927-1948.svg&amp;oldid=123341654" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:Palestine-Mandate-Ensign-1927-1948.svg&amp;oldid=123341654"&gt;en.wikipedia.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/righthand/512/E32CBA19-D0AA-4B0A-8C5D-FA2BDD2F2E64.png" alt="Image:Palestine-Mandate-Ensign-1927-1948.svg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=British_Mandate_of_Palestine&amp;oldid=223547454" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=British_Mandate_of_Palestine&amp;oldid=223547454"&gt;en.wikipedia.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/righthand/512/F5AFA3F3-0A3E-40D5-B74D-2674EB0C8FDC.png" alt="Location of Palestine" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;SMALL&gt;The approximate borders of the British Mandate circa 1922.

           &lt;B&gt;THIS WEEK, the Prime Minister of Canada made a dramatic statement in Parliament: he apologized to the indigenous peoples of his country for the injustices done to them for generations by successive Canadian governments.&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;                     &lt;/TD&gt;

These two men, who should have been poles apart politically, discovered in that first meeting, which lasted for hours, that they had similar visions of Israeli/Palestinian possible future cooperation. They decided to continue their dialogue and to collaborate on musical events to further their shared vision of peaceful co-existence in the Middle East. This led to Mr. Barenboim's first concert on the West Bank, a piano recital at the Palestinian Birzeit University in February 1999, and to a workshop for young musicians from the Middle East that took place in Weimar, Germany, in August 1999.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;Said passed away in 2003 but his partnership with Daniel Barenboim lives on through&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;projects targeted at young Arabs and Israelis.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddI4WTEAqDA" title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddI4WTEAqDA"&gt;www.youtube.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;[Video]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/said+barenboim/" rel="tag"&gt;said barenboim&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/palestine+israel/" rel="tag"&gt;palestine israel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://explorersfoundation.org/glyphery/203.html</clipSource><pubDate>Mon, 16 Jun 2008 13:07:14 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Israel to build new homes in occupied West Bank</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/2CA3805A-73BF-4707-9FD0-364E0F3E83D8/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/ratilfar/"&gt;ratilfar&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;clipper's remarks:&lt;/b&gt;  Oi!

            Jahre vorherrschende Gefühl dem deutschen Volk gegenüber 
            folgendermaßen: "Nach dem Ausbruch von Schmerz und Trauer erhob sich 
            eine Woge von Hass in Israel gegen die Urheber dieser Verbrechen und 
            gegen diejenigen, die sie hatten geschehen lassen. [...] Die Juden 
            machten keinen Unterschied zwischen Deutschen und 
            Nationalsozialisten. [...] Einzig und allein die Tatsache zählte, 
            dass Millionen Juden in der schrecklichsten, niederträchtigsten und 
            grausamsten Weise von Deutschen ermordet worden waren, die es ohne 
            Widerspruch geschehen ließen. Die "Kollektivschuld" des ganzen 
            deutschen Volkes lag in ihren Augen offen und unabweislich zutage. 
            Die Konsequenz dieser Einstellung hieß damals für jeden Israeli: 
            niemals wieder Beziehungen zu Deutschen, niemals Versöhnung."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;Mittlerweile ist Berlin zur Wahlheimat vieler&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;der nicht enden wollenden

 The group "Parhessia", named after the Old Hebrew word for "public", is raising something of a stir in Israel. &lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;It was founded two years ago by Israeli writers, artists and teachers with the objective of establishing a new language for the Israeli public sector, throwing a critical light on the ethnic, religious and social complexity of the country's society. &lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;Parhessia's most recent high-profile initiative is the result of a collaboration with the Israeli association "Zochrot". This group has been working for some years on informing the Israeli public about the &lt;I&gt;Nakba&lt;/I&gt;, the Palestinian trauma of flight and expulsion in 1948, and its consequences – in Hebrew, with the aim of breaking down the general taboo concerning the war and its outcomes.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.qantara.de/image.php?url=/uploads/476/2972/source_4762aa13ddc36_Stra%C3%9Fenschild_Jerusalem_GROSS_-_Quelle_www.zochrot.org.jpg" title="http://www.qantara.de/image.php?url=/uploads/476/2972/source_4762aa13ddc36_Stra%C3%9Fenschild_Jerusalem_GROSS_-_Quelle_www.zochrot.org.jpg"&gt;www.qantara.de&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/Johanna_G/512/43AE113D-911B-4A59-8E55-2FD3FBBFE5BA.jpg" alt="Klicken Sie auf das Bild, um dieses Fenster zu schließen!" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.qantara.de/webcom/show_article.php/_c-476/_nr-894/i.html" title="http://www.qantara.de/webcom/show_article.php/_c-476/_nr-894/i.html"&gt;www.qantara.de&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;Historical amnesia: The magazine Sedek documents how traces of Arab identity in Israel have been suppressed&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.qantara.de/image.php?url=/uploads/476/2972/source_4762aa371789d_Zochrot_publication_-_Quelle_www.zochrot.org.jpg" title="http://www.qantara.de/image.php?url=/uploads/476/2972/source_4762aa371789d_Zochrot_publication_-_Quelle_www.zochrot.org.jpg"&gt;www.qantara.de&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/Johanna_G/512/71259AB8-763C-4012-B1E9-90E108C09D33.jpg" alt="Klicken Sie auf das Bild, um dieses Fenster zu schließen!" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.qantara.de/webcom/show_article.php/_c-476/_nr-894/i.html" title="http://www.qantara.de/webcom/show_article.php/_c-476/_nr-894/i.html"&gt;www.qantara.de&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;Palestinian district in Jaffa&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/israel/" rel="tag"&gt;israel&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/palestine/" rel="tag"&gt;palestine&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/nakba/" rel="tag"&gt;nakba&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/deprivation/" rel="tag"&gt;deprivation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://www.qantara.de/webcom/show_article.php/_c-476/_nr-894/i.html</clipSource><pubDate>Mon, 19 May 2008 22:43:29 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Middle East documents</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/F61A475F-AB33-4790-89C3-4272F2FF7676/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/Johanna_G/"&gt;Johanna_G&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.bitterlemons-international.org/documents.php" title="http://www.bitterlemons-international.org/documents.php"&gt;www.bitterlemons-international.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;

Im Deutschen ist das Wort jiddisch erst auf dem Umweg über Amerika populär geworden: Bis zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts hieß das Jiddische in Deutschland offiziell Juden-Deutsch.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jiddisch.org/yiddish/jidisch.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;jiddisch.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;Mehr als 10 Millionen Menschen sprachen vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg Jiddisch als Muttersprache. Von den sechs Millionen ermordeten Juden sprach die große Mehrheit Jiddisch. Die Nationalsozialisten haben nicht nur die Menschen, sondern mit ihnen auch die Sprache fast vollkommen ausgelöscht. Die Wiederbelebung des Jiddischen nach 1945 war schwierig, aus den unterschiedlichsten Gründen. Heute gibt es nicht nur in Israel, sondern auch in Europa ein neues Interesse an der Sprache.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://buecher.hagalil.com/mandelbaum/allerhand.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;hagalil.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.hagalil.com/israel/deutschland/jiddisch.htm" title="http://www.hagalil.com/israel/deutschland/jiddisch.htm"&gt;www.hagalil.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;"Farvoss

Wir müssen uns alleine durchschlagen, unsere Rechnungen bezahlen, uns mit unseren Fehlern auseinandersetzen und ehrlich gemeinte Kritik akzeptieren.“ Und mit seinen „gewaltigen Fehlern“ setze sich das „Israel der Mitte“ sehr intensiv auseinander. Wir müssen nur genauer hinschauen; dann ändert sich unser von Schuldgefühlen überlagertes, negatives Israel-Bild vielleicht ganz von selbst.&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.internationalepolitik.de/archiv/jahrgang-2008/mazel-tov--israel--das-selten-gelobte-land/editorial.html" title="http://www.internationalepolitik.de/archiv/jahrgang-2008/mazel-tov--israel--das-selten-gelobte-land/editorial.html"&gt;www.internationalepolitik.de&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;Am 14. Mai vor 60 Jahren wurde der Staat Israel gegründet. Eine Demokratie, bis heute die einzige im Nahen Osten, die den Namen verdient, trotz permanenter Bedrohung von außen. Ob sie diese Aufbauleistung der Israelis bewunderten, fragten IP und Forsa die Bundesbürger. Die Antwort war eindeutig: Nur 13 Prozent äußern Bewunderung. 57 Prozent sehen Israel wegen seines Dauerkonflikts mit den Palästinensern kritisch. Im Gegensatz zu den Amerikanern, die sich bei Umfragen regelmäßig mit Zweidrittelmehrheit proisraelisch zeigen, hegen die Deutschen für den nach dem deutschen Massenmord an sechs Millionen Juden gegründeten Judenstaat offenbar wenig verständnisvolle, gar freundschaftliche Gefühle.
