Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
The Palestinian national identity is all a lie by Itamar Marcus and Ephraim D. Tepler - Feb 27, 2025

PALWatch : Of the steady stream of Palestinian Authority lies, possibly the most
farcical is its claim to be a 6000-year-old nation together with its
denial of the thousands of years of Israel's documented history. This
recent cartoon appearing on an official Fatah website reinforces the
lie.
While the PA knows that there is no such thing as an ancient
Palestinian Arab history prior to the last few decades, it appropriates
the history of multiple ethnic groups present in the Land of Israel
thousands of years ago as its own, declaring them to be "Palestinian."
This
propaganda is constant, coming from all PA leaders, so-called
academics, and religious figures, and it is prevalent across all the
PA's controlled education and media. The headline of the cartoon above
is called "The history" and the caption states:
"The
Palestinian people have a long history of culture, and they were part of
ancient cultures, as their lands were characterized by diverse cultures
over the generations, from the Canaanites to the Phoenicians."
[Falestinona, Fatah's Information and Culture Commission in Lebanon, Feb. 19, 2025]
Cartoons
like these are a snapshot of how the PA systematically brainwashes its
people to deny Israel's right to exist through distortion or denial of
history. This education forms the core of how the PA educates children
while it is also preached consistently by PA leadership.
One example of how this kind of PA/Fatah false education can be seen in Fatah's children's magazine:
"Palestine
has belonged to the Palestinians for thousands of years. Therefore, the
Palestinian people rejected this [UN] resolution that gives rights to
our land and our homeland to foreigners who came from all ends of the
earth, foreigners who did not know Palestine and did not live in it –
neither them nor their fathers and forefathers. Their color is not our
color, their skin is not our skin, and their customs are different from
our customs. They do not even have one color or one ethnic origin – they
are a strange and odd mixture of different races."
[Waed, Issue 36, p. 2]
The
facts are that Israel/Judea suffered invasion and expulsions by the
Assyrian Empire (722 BCE) and the Babylonian Empire (586 BCE);
experienced invasion and return from exile under the Persian Empire (538
BCE); occupation by the Greek Empire (329 BCE) and expulsions by the
Roman Empire (70 CE and 135 CE), who also renamed the land
"Syria-Palestina" in 135 CE. Since then, Jews remained and survived in
the Land of Israel and in exile during 2,000 years of invasions and
occupation by foreigners until the State of Israel was reestablished in
1948.
None of this matters to PA/Fatah. Besides denying Israel's
ancient history, it instead rewrites actual aspects of Jewish history as
"Palestinian history":
