Palestine Human Shields, New War Teachings
It is as shame, and outright disgrace when warriors, such as Hamas, cower to such levels as hiding behind the walls of so called innocent skirts, women and children. When I see this it tells me they have no pride, or dignity (I’m sure Allah is the only one proud of them, the hoofed Allah that is), and any willing Palestine that sits on a roof, or in the front yard eating pizza and drinking coke, thinking they are a hero in the deadly war with Israel (as Hamas sneak out the back to kill more Jew), should find a hole to hide in, and this haven of sorts, should be considered a military target, with or with its civilian guards; they are like militant mice while the feministic Military Rats dot the map of what cities in Israel will be hit the next day.

Introduction
Palestine, the Holy Land, is visited by people of different faith – Jews, Christians and Muslims. Bethlehem is been a pilgrim center for Christians. Bethlehem and olive wood handmade sculptures are meant to save humanity. The Olive branch signifies love, good health and peace. The Bible mentions the olive branch in Noah’s Ark.

“Palestine” is full of facts of history pertaining to the long and diverse history of Palestine and surrounding nations. It tells of the long turmoil between the nation of Palestine and surrounding nations but particularly Israel. The facts and locales in the book are true as are most of the names with only a few characters fictionalized from what I could see. The human brutality that occurs is so hard to realize that it actually occurred, but it did. Killing just because one was another religion or from another nation is a steady diet through the book. I don’t care if you are Israeli, Palestinian, Jordanian, Egyptian, or a member of a family comprised of a combination of any of the above, you realize the hate, killing, and torture continues generally without remorse.

After decades of refusing to admit that Palestine has a legitimate right to exist, Israel inched toward possible approval of the idea it has opposed as part of its militantly anti-Palestine platform. Palestinians, who have by now grown used to the belief that they are the ones who get to decide which state has a right to exist, were bewildered by the surprise announcement. They also puzzled over whether it meant that they really ought to acknowledge Israel’s right to exist.

Palestinian officials secured a deal with British Gas in the late 1990s allowing the exploration and drilling for natural gas and oil reserves in the Mediterranean Sea. In September of 2000, President Yasser Arafat himself watched anxiously as their hopes were rewarded with a huge flame shooting into the sky from a British Gas well 22 miles off the coast of the Gaza Strip. Arafat called the impressive showing of anticipated wealth a “gift to God to us, to our people, to our children,” stating further that the reserves would “provide a solid foundation for our economy, for establishing an independent state with holy Jerusalem as its capital.” In the eight years since this discovery, political jockeying and grappling has much stymied the exportation efforts of Palestine, hindering their ability to truly maximize their reserves and boost economic growth.
