Kawther Salam - A Sincere Offer of Peace to Israelis

Ending portion below; whole thing here: http://palestinethinktank.com/2008/07/10/kawther-salam-a-sincere-offer-of-peace-to-israelis/


(16) The culture and society of us Palestinians is traditionally based around agriculture and commerce, we have a delicious and varied kitchen when the occupiers are not starving us, and we have a long history in common with the other peoples who live around the Mediterranean sea; olive trees are seen by most families as their patrimony, and before the occupiers made life almost impossible for everybody, even women were respected and treated well in Palestine. While most of us became Muslims over time, sizeable Christian and Jewish communities also lived well there, and terms like racism or genocide were not known.

(17) When I look over the fence at the German, Russian, American, Spanish, South-American women who pretend to be Jews, who live on the stolen land and in the stolen houses of the Palestinians which they or their parents massacred or dumped in some refugee camp not so long ago, the contrast could not be greater. What society have these women brought and created ? Who are the exponents of this light upon humanity ? What makes these women so special and different ? The behavior of the enlightened society created by these women, as I have seen it, can be summarized in cutting down millions of olive trees, razing entire villages, plowing farms which were the only source of food for whole townships, stealing everything that is not nailed down and then coming back with a crowbar for the rest, murdering and brutalizing people with impunity, breaking every law and accord, hatred, hatred, hatred. This is the behavior of psychopaths, of individuals with a defective mind who know no empathy, no remorse, no decency.

(18) I must ask: what kind of women create such a society ? And I think that this is not a society or a culture created by women, because the values, the character and the culture of the Israeli society is dictated by an evil cult whose priests call themselves “master”. Looking at Israel, it is clear that this evil cult of psychopaths has taken over the role which women have in all other societies, and that in Israeli society women have been reduced to the role of breeding serfs for the cult and its twisted ideals. One needs to look only at the influence of the extremist religious settlers to see that Israeli society and values are completely determined by the thoughts and ideals of a minority of sick minds grouped around the cult.

(19) To the point: how does one make peace with individuals who know neither remorse nor conscience? With people who see any attempt at making peace on just terms as a weakness to be exploited, people who understand only bad faith deals as we have seen since the occupation started ? With whom does one speak about peace when there are no women to speak to ?

(20) My only answer is the following sincere offer of peace to all Israeli women able to understand me:

(21) Take back your place at the center of your society from the servants of evil who have kept you wandering the desert for so long, the evil men who brought you to my homeland on false promises. Taking in consideration the story of the Prophet Lot, stop all acts of aggression against us immediately; obey every single UN resolution which has been passed; respect the same laws for all peoples living in Palestine; give us back East Jerusalem as the capital of our State; call and invite all Palestinians who wish so to return to their homes; give back what you have stolen and pay just reparations and indemnification to all those who you have harmed, and respect us and live in peace with us forever if you wish to stay. If you do not wish to accept this offer, then take your families and belongings and leave in peace while you can. And never look back. Ever.

(22) We Palestinians want to live in Peace; our children deserve to live in Peace just like all children everywhere else in the world. We want to live in peace with neighbors who understand the language of peace, not the language of Apache helicopters, war tanks and military occupation. Enough is enough, we have lived sixty years of Al-Nakba, and now I want to go back to my family and to live in peace with peaceful neighbours. Like all Palestinians, I want to see the occupation ended.
