Dear Anonymous – perhaps it is you who needs to be educated. Hebron and the area around it has been conquered and re-conquered dozens of times since the biblical era. Living in a place and creating a national sovereignty or monarchy are two entirely different things. According to Biblical tradition The Jewish People brutally conquered the Land but have had only sovereignty over these lands for a very narrow slice of history – perhaps a few hundred years during the past 3,000 years. Many, many other nations and peoples have also conquered and slaughtered for possession and sovereignty, or to impose their particular religious or imperial ideology.

The events of the past 150 years have seen the rise of Zionism and Jewish sovereignty once again, with killings and conquest on all sides. Israel currently prevails, however if we want to establish a long-term presence in the Land once again, then some kind of accommodation need to be made. Arguing whose land it ‘really’ is, adds nothing to the conversation.

I’m not even going to try and correct the multible historic and factual errors in your blog. Just maybe one sensence that was really unbelievable:

You write about Hebron: “The decision to bring in Israelis is a strategic move on behalf of the government”.

PLEASE educate yourself. You can try by reading about the
1517 Hebron attacks, 1834, 1929 massacres of JEWS in Hebron.
About the fact that Hebron is one of the 4 sacred towns for Jews in the land of Israel (or what you call “Palestine” which is a name given to the land by the Roman empire after it chased out the Jews from it and long before one Arab “Palestinian” set foot in it), about the fact Hebron is mentioned 87 times in the (Jewish) Bible, and is the world’s oldest Jewish community. About the fact that in 1100 upon capturing the city, the crusaders expelled the Jewish community that, how astonishingly, lived there (maybe Israe;l also paid them?). That the Jewish community was re-established following the Mamelukes’ conquest of the city in 1260 and so on, the LONG history of Jewish presence in Hebron.

GOD you’re so stupid.
