Issah nakhleh memorandum to the president - journal of historical review vo...
This memorandum from Issah Nakhleh, a Palestinian nationalist, urges President Reagan to reconsider his pro-Israel stance and acquaint himself with the Palestinian viewpoint. It summarizes the history of Palestinian statehood, from their recognition as a provisionally independent nation after World War I to the establishment of Israel in 1948 that led to the Palestinian exodus and refugee crisis. It argues the Palestinians were made a refugee nation through Zionist terrorism and wars, in violation of international law and Palestinian rights to self-determination. The memorandum hopes informing Reagan of these facts will lead him to support Palestinian rights and a resolution establishing an independent Palestinian state.
Israel Palestine The Wall
The document discusses the Israel/Palestine conflict and the West Bank barrier (or wall) constructed by Israel in 2003. It provides perspectives from Israelis, Palestinians, and the international community on the barrier and its impact. Maps show the location of the West Bank and route of the barrier. Comparisons are made between the West Bank barrier and the Berlin Wall constructed in 1961.
The Difference between Judaism and Zionism

Israel is home for both the Jewish and Zionist. There seemed to be a thin, or even perhaps an invisible line still, to indicate the end of Jewry and the beginning of Zionism.
Prospects for Dialogue & Reconciliation in Syria
The document summarizes a conference held in Amman, Jordan from October 11-13, 2013 called "The Prospects for Dialogue and Reconciliation in Syria." Over 40 participants from 19 countries attended, including religious leaders, academics, diplomats, and NGO representatives. They represented diverse religious and ethnic backgrounds. The summary highlights the diversity of the participants and perspectives shared, regional views on the Syria conflict, international analyses provided, and religious and spiritual viewpoints expressed. The overall goal of the conference was to have in-depth discussions on resolving the Syrian crisis through dialogue and reconciliation.
Non muslims rights
The document discusses the rights of non-Muslims in an Islamic state based on principles in the Quran and teachings of Muhammad. It states that non-Muslims should receive protection, freedom of religion, and assistance for basic necessities and the poor. The Quran teaches equality among all people and that there is no compulsion in religion. Non-Muslims would pay Jizya tax but are exempt from military service and some groups like monks are exempt from the tax. The document outlines rights like justice, property protection, freedom of work and worship for non-Muslims.
Final Draft
This document provides historical context on the Israel-Palestine conflict. It discusses how both groups began nationalist movements in the late 19th century to reclaim the land they consider holy based on their religious scriptures. This led to the 1948 war and mass displacement of Palestinians and Jews. The creation of the PLO in 1964 aimed to liberate Palestine through armed struggle. Repeated violence and expulsions of Palestinians from Jordan and Lebanon strengthened their sense of distinct identity and bolstered interpretations of religious texts that supported violence. Several intifadas and periods of violence have occurred since 1987 despite attempts at peace agreements.
Racism – Rhetoric and Reality
This document discusses racism and argues that only biblical Christianity provides a rational basis for opposing racism and pursuing justice and equality. It asserts that social Darwinism and evolution promote racism, while Christianity has historically worked to end practices like slavery and the slave trade. The document criticizes leaders like Robert Mugabe for enacting racist policies that have destroyed Zimbabwe's economy and killed many people. It also condemns others for supporting Mugabe despite his racism and human rights abuses.

Syrian Civil War - History and Background
Ottoman rule over Syria ended in 1918 and Emir Feisal briefly ruled as King of Syria until 1920 when France took control under a mandate. French rule faced nationalist uprisings and protests for independence which Syria achieved in 1946. However, political instability continued and Hafez al-Assad seized power in 1970, establishing an authoritarian Ba'athist regime that favored the Alawite minority. When Bashar al-Assad succeeded his father in 2000, he initially allowed some reforms but soon returned to the repressive status quo. Anti-government protests in 2011 demanding democratic change and end to emergency law sparked a violent crackdown and eventual civil war as the opposition took up arms.

Interview king Abdullah (Turkish Policy Quarterly Magazine)
In an exclusive interview with TPQ, His Majesty King Abdullah II reflects on how Jordan is living the Arab Spring and how the historic changes of the past year are impacting regional dynamics. To Jordan, King Abdullah explains, the Arab Spring was a much-awaited opportunity to overcome internal resistance to change and embark on an unprecedented political reform process. On the regional scene, the on-going Syrian crisis, and its potential consequences for Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and Iraq, remain the biggest question mark. Jordan’s King, who recently hosted the first Palestinian-Israeli talks in more than 16 months, also warns that the window of opportunity for Mideast peace is quickly narrowing. https://www.turkishpolicy.com/article/680/interview-with-king-abdullah-ii/
The Middle East Cold War
Source: Looking Glass Publications
By Linda Lavender, Writer / Robin Barnett, Editor
Understanding the past proxies is relevant to the recent unrest in the Middle East, which is often mischaracterized as a purely sectarian conflict. While clearly there is a sectarian component to ongoing unrest in the region, the conflicts, both latent and manifest within Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and Yemen are often reported as a struggle between opposing religious sects - Sunnis and Shiites. However, according to F. Gregory Gause of the Brookings Institution, the best way to understand regional politics and the current unrest in the Middle East is through a Cold War framework between Saudi Arabia and the Republic of Iran where the central issue is that of regional hegemony.
The Syrian Crises : Past,Present and Future
Explains the nature and origins of present Syrian crises in the wider backdrop of the geopolitical and other faultlines of the Middle East..It then enumerates the stakes of the various global and regional powers and how they are reacting to the rapidly evolving situation.Ends with possible outcomes and suggests the best way forward.
Syria the story of conflict
More than 200,000 Syrians have lost their lives in four years of armed conflict, which began with anti-government protests before escalating into a full-scale civil war. More than 11 million others have been forced from their homes as forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and those opposed to his rule battle each other - as well as jihadist militants from Islamic State.
Management of over 4 million refugees is in itself a great challenge and is likely to affect world economy.
The Syrian Civil War
The Syrian Civil War began in 2011 with anti-government protests against President Bashar al-Assad before escalating into a full-scale civil war. Over 450,000 Syrians have been killed and more than 11 million displaced as forces loyal to Assad battle opposition groups. The war involves four overlapping conflicts between Assad and opposition forces, Syria's Kurdish minority, the Islamic State, and foreign countries intervening to support various factions. Six years after protests began, the war continues with no end in sight as the humanitarian crisis worsens.
Syria: A Country in Conflict
Syria is a Middle Eastern country located between Turkey, Iraq, Jordan, Israel and Lebanon. It has a population of about 23 million people who are predominantly Sunni Muslim, along with religious minority groups like Shia, Druze and Alawite Muslims. Syria has a diverse history of being conquered by various empires and gained independence from France in 1946. The current regime is led by President Bashar al-Assad, whose family has ruled the country since 1970. In 2011, protests erupted against Assad's rule but escalated into an ongoing civil war between government forces and various rebel groups composed of dissidents, with over 60,000 deaths in the first 18 months of conflict.

The Origin of the Palestine - Israel Conflict
This document provides a summary of the history of the Palestine-Israel conflict from the Palestinian perspective. It begins by stating that the conventional view is that both sides are at fault, but the Palestinians have a real grievance as their homeland was taken from them during the creation of Israel, mostly by force. It then outlines the history of Palestine to show how the Zionist colonization process occurred and displaced the indigenous Palestinian population. The document argues that the root cause of the ongoing conflict is this original injustice against the Palestinians and that a moral solution would involve Israel assisting in the creation of a sovereign Palestinian state.

While rejecting permanent peace with Israel, Hamas supports the establishment of a fully sovereign Palestinian state in the occupied territories with Jerusalem as its capital as a step towards full liberation. It rejects negotiations that compromise Palestinian rights or recognize Israel's legitimacy. Armed resistance to the occupation is a legitimate right and strategic choice according to Hamas.
Dibert, a our established religion - journal of historical review volume 10...
This document discusses the concept of an established religion and argues that Zionism functions as a de facto established religion in the United States. It outlines the key characteristics of an established religion as having governmental support, an obligation for citizens to adhere to its beliefs, and prohibiting dissent. It then analyzes how Zionism exhibits these characteristics in the US through extensive governmental financial support, legal provisions that support Israeli aims, and control over major media that spreads Zionist propaganda and limits dissenting views. The document contends that while the US has no religion de jure, Zionism operates as a de facto established religion through these means.
Session 3 - Government and Education
The document discusses the history and foundations of America as a Christian nation. It notes that America's motto is "In God We Trust" and that the Founding Fathers widely acknowledged Christianity's influence. However, it asserts that America is now in denial of its origins and removing moral principles from government. Key factors in this decline include the breakdown of the family and rise of relativism. The document warns that without renewing spiritual roots, America will continue to weaken culturally and militarily.

Justice for Palestine is a deeply complex issue that has spanned generations and defied resolution. Achieving justice requires addressing historical injustices, ending the occupation, and finding a way for Israelis and Palestinians to coexist in peace and security. The path to justice is fraught with challenges, but with international cooperation, dialogue, and a commitment to human rights and equality, there is hope that a just and lasting resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can be achieved.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the most enduring and contentious disputes in the world today. At its core, it's a conflict rooted in historical, religious, and geopolitical complexities. However, when discussing justice for Palestine, the focus typically centers on the rights and aspirations of the Palestinian people. This blog aims to explore the multifaceted issue of justice for Palestine, delving into the historical background, the ongoing challenges, and the potential avenues for resolution.
Surat Pengunduran Diri Craig Mokhiber
1. The Director of the UN's New York Office for Human Rights is resigning in protest over the UN's failure to stop the ongoing genocide of Palestinians and hold Israel accountable for human rights violations.
2. He argues that Israel's treatment of Palestinians constitutes genocide and apartheid, and that key UN members like the US are complicit by supporting Israel militarily, economically, and diplomatically.
3. In his resignation letter, he calls on the UN to take a principled stance in support of Palestinian human rights based on international law, including supporting a single democratic state for Palestinians and Israelis with equal rights.

Osama Bin Laden's Letter to America
Bin Laden’s translated letter as previously published
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,
“Permission to fight (against disbelievers) is given to those (believers) who are fought against, because they have been wronged and surely, Allah is Able to give them (believers) victory” [Quran 22:39]
“Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Taghut (anything worshipped other than Allah e.g. Satan). So fight you against the friends of Satan; ever feeble is indeed the plot of Satan.”[Quran 4:76]
Some American writers have published articles under the title ‘On what basis are we fighting?’ These articles have generated a number of responses, some of which adhered to the truth and were based on Islamic Law, and others which have not. Here we wanted to outline the truth - as an explanation and warning - hoping for Allah’s reward, seeking success and support from Him.
While seeking Allah’s help, we form our reply based on two questions directed at the Americans:
(Q1) Why are we fighting and opposing you? Q2)What are we calling you to, and what do we want from you?
As for the first question: Why are we fighting and opposing you? The answer is very simple:
(1) Because you attacked us and continue to attack us.
a) You attacked us in Palestine:
(i) Palestine, which has sunk under military occupation for more than 80 years. The British handed over Palestine, with your help and your support, to the Jews, who have occupied it for more than 50 years; years overflowing with oppression, tyranny, crimes, killing, expulsion, destruction and devastation. The creation and continuation of Israel is one of the greatest crimes, and you are the leaders of its criminals. And of course there is no need to explain and prove the degree of American support for Israel. The creation of Israel is a crime which must be erased. Each and every person whose hands have become polluted in the contribution towards this crime must pay its*price, and pay for it heavily.
(ii) It brings us both laughter and tears to see that you have not yet tired of repeating your fabricated lies that the Jews have a historical right to Palestine, as it was promised to them in the Torah. Anyone who disputes with them on this alleged fact is accused of anti-semitism. This is one of the most fallacious, widely-circulated fabrications in history. The people of Palestine are pure Arabs and original Semites. It is the Muslims who are the inheritors of Moses (peace be upon him) and the inheritors of the real Torah that has not been changed. Muslims believe in all of the Prophets, including Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all. If the followers of Moses have been promised a right to Palestine in the Torah, then the Muslims are the most worthy nation of this.
When the Muslims conquered Palestine and drove out the Romans, Palestine and Jerusalem retur
