Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 03:37, 30 May 2006

This user has been blocked indefinitely from editing Misplaced Pages, per ruling of administrators, Jimbo Wales and/or the Arbitration Committee. See the block log.

My hope is that Misplaced Pages can implement its own NPOV policy which is fading. I am sure the problems in articles such as Nakba are evident to anyone looking at them but I have failed to affect any significant change there. So for now, I'll take a long break from directly editing articles.

The arbitration case against me is getting weirder by the moment: Although ArbCom banned me from Nakba, in this edit (see the middle edit out of 3) Fred bauder denies that I was banned from this article. What can I say? He does not know what he is doing?:

My last edit is here: - I suggest that you watch the 3 articles mentioned in it.

• It will tell you a lot about Misplaced Pages:

You see if someone wants to hide the fact that Quisling collaborated with the Nazis, in Misplaced Pages he can do that. You get it? Quisling the guy his name is synonymous with being a collaborator - In Misplaced Pages you can hide his past, burry the word Nazi out of Quisling biography? People have done that here: )

Really. So that they can use this as an example to remove the word Nazi from the biography of other collaborators such as Amin al-Husayni and he also used it as "evidence against Zeq" here: so that "ArbCom" can ban me.

• Welcome to Misplaced Pages - Where any biography can change every 5 minutes based the view of the person who write it.

so for now goodbye.

My history (it may change in 5 minutes if someone decides to change it)

My Father was born in Iraq where he was a wealthy merchant. Our family lived in Iraq for over 700 years. Shortly after the state of Israel was founded in 1948 he and many other Jews were forced out of Iraq. They had to leave behind all of their belongings and were not even allowed to take the title paper to the property left behind. Years later, he was still working as a day laborer (he never recovered financially) he kept telling me: "Israel is our country. We need to rebuild it and be happy that we are in our own country." He never complained, just continued with his hard work.

This is not the first place Iraq appears in my family history. My Mother escaped from Germany in 1938, shortly before WW-2. They suffered from anti-Semitism in Europe but were lucky because that anti-Semitism caused my grandfather to lose his job and decide to immigrate to Israel while they could still do so. His family who stayed behind perished in the Holocaust. As a teenager, one of my mother's early memories is the foundation of the State of Israel and the invasion by the Arab armies that followed. Her home town was bombarded by the Iraqi army who came all the way from Baghdad to a town near Tel-Aviv. Luckily, that was the place they were stopped (in June 1948). Her later memories are the poverty of Israel in the 50s--a nation of refugees in which bread, eggs, and butter were on strict rations. This time is called "The Tzena".

As for me, the best I can describe my beliefs is that I fully support these words by Rabin:

" Let me say to you, the Palestinians: We are destined to live together, on the same soil in the same land. We, the soldiers who have returned from battle stained with blood, we who have seen our relatives and friends killed before our eyes, we who have attended their funerals and cannot look into the eyes of their parents, we who have come from a land where parents bury their children, we who have fought against you, the Palestinians - we say to you today in a loud and clear voice: Enough of blood and tears. Enough.

We have no desire for revenge. We harbor no hatred towards you. We, like you, are people who want to build a home, to plant a tree, to love, live side by side with you - in dignity, in empathy, as human beings, as free men. We are today giving peace a chance and again saying to you: Let us pray that a day will come when we will say, enough, farewell to arms.

Ladies and gentlemen, the time for peace has come."

Why is this guy banned from ? He should know more about that topic than everyone else here. It makes NNNOOO sense DEATH TO THE SOVIETS!! 12:01, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

About Sharon

While I have never been a fan of his, there is no doubt he now has a role in the move toward peace.

The Times of London said:

"The dilemma for Israel and the peace process is not that Mr Sharon cannot continue to serve as Prime Minister. It is that there is no equivalent to Mr Sharon in the Arab world. There is no one willing to acknowledge publicly that the Palestinians cannot have all that they might want, just as Israelis cannot have everything they might desire. There is no one prepared to state what is absolutely obvious, namely that any return to the boundaries of 1967, let alone those of 1948, is a ludicrous notion. There is no one willing to declare openly that not only do those who surround Israel have to recognise its right to exist, but that their societies will thrive only when they begin to emulate the democratic values, economic ingenuity and cultural diversity that explain why Israel’s gross domestic product exceeds that of its vastly more populous neighbours combined."
