‘Fire is God punishing Israel for occupying Arab lands’
By KHALED ABU TOAMEH
12/04/2010 18:47
Many Arabs also strongly condemned Egypt and Jordan for agreeing to help in extinguishing the blaze, according
to Arab media outlets.
Many in the Arab world seem to be happy with the big fire that has been raging in northern Israel over the past few days.
Judging from comments of readers in response to the blaze in several leading Arab media outlets and websites, a majority believe that God is “punishing” Israel for occupying Arab lands and killing Palestinians, especially during Operation cast Lead in the Gaza Strip.
Many Arabs also strongly condemned Egypt and Jordan for agreeing to help in extinguishing the blaze.
Others called on Israel’s enemies, particularly Iran, Hamas and Hizbullah to seize the opportunity and try to wipe Israel off
the face of earth. Only a few readers and viewers expressed sympathy with Israel over the tragedy and the loss of many lives.
Following is a sample of the comments that appeared in the past few days in the Arab media:
“May Allah punish all Arabs who helped put down the fire.
We pray to Allah that the fire will grow and spread to oil wells in the Arab world.”
“O’ Allah, burn them [Jews] before the Day of Judgement.
O’ Allah, destroy them and all the enemies of Islam.”
“May Allah take revenge against them and displace them together with our corrupt [Arab] governments.”
“This is the right time for Iran.
If one fire has caused panic in the Zionist entity, where are Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hassan Nasrallah? And where is Syria? One rocket could set thousands of fires.”
“Allah gives time, but never neglects.
The Israelis are being punished for their deeds.
We hope their end is nearing.”
“Sounds strange that Arabs are sending aid to our enemies. Allah is punishing the Jews by making with the fire. No military force or US veto can stop the fire.”
“Thank God for this new Holocaust and shame on the Egyptian authorities who rushed to save the Zionists while continuing to lay siege against our brothers in the Gaza Strip.”
“Thank God for burning the Jews the same way they burned our Muslim brothers in Palestine.”
“To Hizbullah, Hamas and all Arabs: this is a golden opportunity to get rid of Israel. The sea and fire are in front of the Jews and weapons are behind them.”
“This fire is the result of prayers from our prisoners held in occupation jails. The fire of Hell will be even stronger. May those Arabs who are helping the Jews burn with them in Hell.”
“Allahu Akbar! This is an effective weapon. We call on our Palestinian brothers to set fire to all forests.”
“How many prisoners did the wardens torture? Allah has answered the prayers of the oppressed.”
Begin Two Excerpts from the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs/Daily Alert

Excerpt 1 from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A 63-Year Search for Mideast Peace
Michael B.
Oren
63 years ago, the UN General Assembly voted in favor of Resolution 181, dividing what was then known as Palestine into independent Jewish and Arab states.
While the Zionist leadership accepted Resolution 181, and Jews throughout the world danced ecstatically in the streets, the Arab states rejected it. Worse, they swore to annihilate the reborn Jewish state and drive its inhabitants – many of them Holocaust survivors – into the sea. Six armies descended on the weakly-armed Israeli defenders.
Yet, after a brutal war in which 1% of the Israeli population – the equivalent of 30 million Americans today – were killed, Israel triumphed.
The Palestinians have spent much of the past six decades striving to defeat Resolution 181. Instead of building viable democratic institutions and investing in their children’s education, they instilled hatred and glorified “armed resistance.” Our founding fathers and mothers were willing to divide our homeland with another people that also regarded it as their homeland and to live side-by-side in peace, and so are we. Yet the “moderate” leadership in the West Bank still refuses to join Israel at the negotiating table. The writer is Israel’s ambassador to the U.S. (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
Excerpt 2 from the Jerusalem Post
Palestinian Revisionism Is the Only Obstacle to Peace
Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon (Jerusalem Post)
The recent Palestinian Authority report stating that the Western Wall has no religious or historical significance to the Jewish people is sadly yet another attempt at political historical revisionism. As the recent UNESCO report on Jewish sites in Judea and Samaria exposed, the Palestinian rejectionist narrative is foisted on the international agenda and is supported by an automatic majority in multilateral forums.
The PA Ministry of Information claims on its website that “according to the Jewish Encyclopedia, published in 1917, the Western Wall became part of the Jewish religious tradition around the year 1520 AD, as a result of Jewish immigration from Spain, after the Ottoman conquest the year 1517.” In fact, the entry in the Jewish Encyclopedia of 1917 provides historic references to the Western Wall from antiquity and certainly before the Arab invasion, conquest and occupation of the Middle East.
The recent UNESCO report that Rachel’s Tomb near Jerusalem is the Bilal ibn Rabah Mosque is an even greater scandal. It also disposes of hundreds of years of Muslim tradition. According to an Ottoman document found by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, in 1830 the Turks issued a firman (royal decree) that gave legal force to Rachel’s Tomb being recognized as a Jewish holy site.
In 2000, talks between former Prime Minister Ehud Barak and PA Chairman Yasser Arafat at Camp David in the presence of U.S. President Bill Clinton broke down over similar historical revisionism. After Barak had made an overly generous offer about splitting sovereignty of the Temple Mount, Arafat claimed that he could not concede an inch of this “Islamic territory” because the Jewish Temple never existed.
While the Palestinians claim to be the original residents of our land, history and fact stand in their way. While the majority of the Jewish people had to endure a two millennia exile from our land, the stones of our Temple, the burial sites of our forefathers, our ritual baths, ancient cisterns and synagogues remained.
And 2,000 years of foreign occupation and attempted negation of Jewish history could not prevent the return of the aboriginal people to our land.
The real obstacle to peace is Palestinian rejection of Israel and the self-determination of the Jewish people. The PA brainwashes its people to disallow Israel’s legitimacy and falsifies Jewish, Christian and Muslim history in the process. This rejectionism has been at the heart of every failed peace effort for more than 70 years. Palestinian hate and in tolerance, more than all the other issues combined, will doom the region
to many more years of conflict.
