Land Grabbers
Historically, the approximate size of the original Palestine was no more
than the Gaza strip of today. Islamic states treat Assyria and the
Assyrians as nonexistent, equally the same as Israel and the Jewish
Nation. Dar Al-Silm considers both Israel and Assyria, as vanquished
states and their respective peoples either extinct or Arab.
Arab Islamic states relate Israel and Assyria to ancient history. In
fact, the census of the Israeli people as at the end of 1999 is
estimated at about eighteen million. Two thirds of its population still
live in Diaspora. The Assyrians, whose population has grown to about
five million, collectively, is in a worse situation. Their territory has
since been invaded and their properties and homes appropriated by the
Kords, with encouragement of the Islamic states of the Abode of Peace,
to give the region a distinctive Islamic feature. By so doing, Islam
obscures Assyria’s historic and genuine identity, in support of the
Muslim Arian Kords. Assyrian villagers in northern Iraq are under
constant threat, by the Kord drifters, to move out and leave their homes
to the oncoming hostile nomadic Kords. The Kordish manoeuvre is to
discourage the international community from rehabilitating the Assyrians
in their own traditional homeland. The Kords cause tactical flare-ups to
keep the UN and the International Community worried and as an unwelcome
gesture to the Assyrians to discourage their return to their old towns
and villages.
The Jews have persistently claimed, based on historical facts that the
Biblical Land, Eretz Yisrael, belongs to them. Their capital city,
Jerusalem and the Temple on Mount Zion, is an historical proof of their
claim to their ancestral homeland. Since dispersal of the Jews in 131 AD
throughout the Mediterranean Basin of the Roman Empire, for their
constant rebellion against the Imperial Power of the Roman Rule, the
Jews always ended their prayer with a plea for their return home. They
hoped that someday their historical land would be restored to them and
that they would all meet in their homeland, Eretz Yisrael, and praise
their Jehovah God on Mount Zion.
For nineteen hundred (1900) years, while living in Diaspora, many
countries did not accept the Jews as equal and they were told to go
away. They lived an estranged life. No matter how faithful they were and
how much they contributed to the country in which they lived, they were
not accepted as full citizens and on occasions, were totally rejected.
Now that they have gone back to Israel, to where they came from, the
Muslim world does not want them. Why not? With the passage of time,
enmity towards the Jews increased to the point that some countries
treated them as outcasts, and clamped down on their freedom. Still not
satisfied, some undemocratic regimes, in both the East and the West,
aroused deep anti-Semitic feelings and hatred against the Jews and
conspired to annihilate them. Their systematic persecution and
massacres, especially during the Nazi Holocaust of the Jews in World War
II, culminated in their return from banishment to part of their
ancestral homeland – Israel became a reality again.
