Why Re-naming Palestine the "State of Israel" was a BIG Mistake!

It has often been my opinion that the words "State of Israel", used by then President Harry S. Truman in 1948, were a clear over-reaction to a very tragic situation. The over-reaction began, when the tragic European Jewish holocaust came to light.

During the Spring of 1948, Harry S Truman on the floor of the newly erected United Nations floor he gave a proclamation speech declaring Palestine was now to be addressed as the State of Israel. He did this because his best friend and political adviser in Washington D. C., Clark Clifford reminded Harry that to win re-election he needed the Jewish American vote. His friend wanted Palestine to be renamed to the State of Israel because of the overwhelming infiltration of Jewish immigrants coming across from Europe after the war. However, the Jewish Americans wanted this even more. See, what was an illegal migration somehow needed to be made legal. Jewish Americans also felt that the world owed the Jewish people this for ignoring their pain. And so Truman created a Jewish country for them. However, Palestinians living in the region who were living in relative peace with Christians and Jewish settlers already there, didn't want their lands given away. They revolted against this new American domestic policy. Rightly so in my opinion. At this time Egypt was the only country that offered the Palestinians help. America had boldly made her decision and thus we in essence created a new colony. What America should have done was to offer Palestine aid and support. It was clear to all world leaders at that time- that the sudden on slot, of hundreds of thousand Jewish refugees escaping into the region, was way to much for the poor country of Palestine too bear. But instead of food or aid, we sent the Jewish refugees weapons to take the land away to make it there own, and destroy the peaceful nation of Palestine. All in the name of sorrow and friendship. A blunt over-reaction to say the least. After sixty years of blood shed it's now time to fix it.

With a strict understanding that I cherish the Jewish faith, the Jewish culture and the Jewish people- the facts are the facts and that still does not change my opinions. Most importantly I think it is safe to say that all those involved understood the fact that after WWII and with many displaced Jewish people across Europe; the Jewish people needed something to call there own. Especially since so much of their culture had been devastated and families & friends had been destroyed. They needed a place to feel safe. A place to call home. A place where they could never be rounded up again and tortured and destroyed. I sincerely understand those fears and needs. But! When in the coarse of claiming a homeland, that they themselves [Jews] were allowed to turn themselves into the very people they were rounded up by, killed by, feared and suffered from- that they [the Jewish movement] in which turned to Hitler style policies- should have been stopped. Especially not rewarded for their destructive and brutal actions, just because of American Jewish votes. It is time that something be done about this before Israel kills us all.

President Obama brings hope to all. Especially to those who feel political personal injustice has plagued American foreign policy for decades. For nearly sixty years now, America has chosen to play- around-with Middle Eastern lives, and pretend to be blind to the facts at hand. Israel has been a shameful role model of how effective brute force ignorance can be and how irrational behavior wins the game. Aren't those suppose to be the ways only held by terrorist? Well we should know- we created them. Israel created terrorist. Israel is a country of terrorist. They should know better than anyone of terrorist tactics. They wrote the book on it. The hate for all things American & Israel, especially under certain American administrations, has caused anti-American sentiments to soar to feverish heights. Though now that President Obama is in office, I personally see a chance at redemption and change. Still though, a great American journalist was force-ably retired, for having the same fore-thoughts as I. A shining example of American liberty, and how freedom of speech is no longer warranted, but challenged. Another example of a crying shame, in this deadly game we are playing in the Middle East.

Is America finally going to admit fault here? Not likely- but what I do see America doing is reassuming a role as peace maker, friend, consultant, and world wide helping supporter. Palestine needs us the most. Fix Palestine and you've fixed Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, and the whole Middle Eastern Region. America has an opportunity to bring peace to the region. We have the perfect unique, opportunity to re-assume a peaceful stance with positive backing firmly stood behind the Palestinians. Why? With out a doubt, Palestine- has been America's greatest folly. America's personal interjections of favoritism towards the State of Israel has kept Palestine from being a peaceful nation. That is the cold hard facts. Somehow inadvertently America created these tyrannical and terrorist leaders by handling the State of Israel and Palestine the way they did. All this turmoil and blood shed over blind American pride and arrogance.

There is no time like the present to start making Israel face those they've systemically executed and destroyed. America needs to reposition herself away from the State of Israel. The favoritism has been overwhelmingly devastating to the region. Palestinians today are forced to live in mud huts because of Israelite embargoes. That's ridiculous. It is that kind of inhumane activity that America needs to stop. It is time we starting showing Palestine some good will and act as a positive ambassador for them. We need to be enforcing the wheel towards compassion, empathy and strength to the under-dogs who need it. The past sixty years have been nothing but failed foreign policies one right after the next. Obama brings hope to us all. He brings hope to everyone around the world. It is a monumental task he's facing. Americans need to recognize that he needs us just as much as we need him. However if anyone, or any country ever need a guy like Obama in their corner- the children of Palestine need him most. How come? All too often religion comes to play here. It effects the necessary decisions and comprises our positions. The adverse affects of such actions only causes devastation to all who aren't like us. Now this isn't what this country is about. Americans no better than to judge someone or some party off their religious beliefs. Our country was founded on the principle of religious freedoms. Yet we allow religious holocausts to occur under our own watchful eyes. Why? This isn't who we are? This isn't the America I know and love. The madness of murder and mayhem need to be put to an end. And there is no place better than to start with the region where Israel now stands.

Need we all be reminded again, that if you take a religious stance against Palestinians, you first need to understand that Muslims are God's children too! Why must Christians and Jews be reminded of this time after time again? I simply do not understand the religious ignorance we chose to live in. The Islamic faith and Muslim people have been demoniac just as history has recorded the Jews at Jesus Christ's death. And that didn't start with 9-11 either. Everything gets blamed on 9-11! It's time to put an end to that here and now. Anti-American sentiment & hatred- was nearly 55 years old by the time 9-11 occurred. In fact, 9-11 was a direct cause of American pride, unjustified ignorance and arrogance in which we had CHOSEN to lived by. That's what caused 9-11. Not the religion! Not Muslims! WE DID!!!

With Obama at the wheel- many Americans would better off reminding themselves the importance of recognizing that fact. Islamics are the children of Abraham, while Jew's look to Moses as a leader. The Jewish patriarchal figure is still remains to be Abraham. We are born of the same cloth here people. However, that shouldn't change a damn thing in our eyes. We are suppose to be equal opportunist here. (And not on one particular religious side of another.) Shame on us Americans, for allowing that to happen through our own personal pity! Well now it's time to pity the children of Palestine before they become non-existent.

They are all God's children.

I pray and hope, (that whatever be the case), that you support our dear President Obama. Our brothers and sisters, our military soldiers and families need our love and support more than you know. God Bless you and yours.
