British Newspaper: Mary was a 'Palestinian Refugee' in Bethlehem
2006-12-26
(IsraelNN.com) Arab women in Judea and Samaria give birth "in startlingly similar conditions to those suffered by Mary 2000 years ago," and are "21st century Marys," the London Independent newspaper has reported.

Johann Hari wrote that Mary was a "Palestinian refugee in Bethlehem," and he charged that Israel has left Arabs with conditions that have put them "back into the Stone Age." The reporter also charged "Israeli settlements with pumping raw sewage on to Palestinian land."
Feel the love. Btw, the "christianization" of paleos, and the arabization/suppression of the jewish roots of Christianity is part and parcel of the Eurabia strategy, according to Bat Ye'or.

#9  When a corrupt ideology is in a "Death Spiral", the stories get taller and taller until all falls under the weight of truth. Such a calamity!
All they will have lived are fables (and not very good ones). Living through dead mens eyes.

#8  Hell, I mostly don't so much worry about handing over the reins of civilization, except I don't want to hand it over to these idiots. Can't we be beaten by someone better? See dummery below.

#7  Palestinians should be moved to London: where they can fight Pakistanis for supremacy.

#6  Oh, for the love of... this is stretching a similie way, way beyond any useful point.

Frankly, after a couple of the more brutal murders committed during the current intifada, I stopped giving a damn about the Paleos at all. And I really am beginning to despise twats like this for banging on endlessly and endlessly about how we really ought to care so deeply about them at all.
I don't, I won't and Johann Hari can go to hell with all of his Poor, Persecuted Paleos, as far as I am concerned. And if he could take George Monbiot with him, that would icing on the cake.

#5  Revisionist vomit.

Hari believes that the influence of the United States on world history has been, on the whole, malign.

I prefer the way Winston Churchill put it:

"It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried."

#4  Hari believes that the influence of the United States on world history has been, on the whole, malign.

Sadly, he did not answer the necessary question, "Compared to what?"

I no longer take anything he says seriously.

#1  This f**kin' nitwit. He's correct about only one thing...Paleos have made no progress in 2000 years. That we can agree on.
