Bullets Vs. Stones

Why would you as someone living in the United Kingdom need to know about a conflict so far away? Why is it always in the news and what has it got to do with you?

Five hundred years ago Christopher Columbus established a trading route across the Atlantic to the East for European Nations when he discovered America and the Caribbean Islands. On discovering these new found lands, the native Indians and peoples were forced from their land and placed on reservations. This begun a period of barbaric and inhumane treatment, never witnessed before, in the annals of human history. Great Britain dominated in this reign of terror and thuggery.

Like a leopard that never changes its spots, in 1948, the foreign policy of Great Britain was used to help to establish the State of Israel on Palestinian land. Palestine was a British Colony from 1917 until 1948. The Palestinians were forced from their lands and made to live in Refugee Camps, which at this time in history has not yet changed.

From Holy Land to Unholy Land

At the dawn of this new Millennium, the start of an era, which heralded peace and technological advancements, which could change the entire globe for the better. An age-old conflict remains simmering that could, if not resolved, become the world’s greatest problem: Institutionalised Racism, the Race problem in England and America and the Israel Palestine conflict.

The year two thousand ended and ‘potentially’ ushered in a new year where all three major religions; Islam, Christianity and Judaism were united through their celebration of the One and only true living God; Ramadan, Christmas and Hanukkah.

Jerusalem being at the core of all three religions, through Abraham who is referred to as the Father of Religion, means “Founded in Peace.” This is a reason why the land in this area is referred to as the “Holy Land.”

However, “It was meant to be a time of celebration – peace and goodwill to all men. But 2000 years after the birth of Christ, Bethlehem [Palestine] is in the grip of a bloody and bitter conflict,” says John Sweeney of the Sunday Observer magazine.

In the birth place of Jesus, Palestine (meaning that he was a Palestinian) tank shells explode, bullets weave between buildings, Palestinian children are shot dead, their homes blown to smithereens leaving weeping and grieving families to continue fighting for justice in the land of the Prophets of Bible and Holy Qur’an. Are the bones of the prophets shaking in their tombs?

In what is known as the New Jerusalem, ‘Mother England,’ the family of Stephen Lawrence and many others are weeping and grieving in their continued fight for justice against a rabid and ‘genetic’ Institutionalised racism.

In this unholy massacre of defenceless Palestinian children, portrayed by the British media as a war, ‘The dying started after Israel’s right-wing opposition leader; Ariel Sharon inspected a contested holy site in Jerusalem. Since then 270 people have been killed: of those 70 are Israeli and 200 Palestinian, of the Palestinian dead, 70 have been children”.

Arabs & Israel for beginners by

Ariel Sharon Is remembered by Palestinians and Israelis alike as the villain of the 1982 Lebanon war. That conflict was a defining moment for the Israeli peace movement, not least the Lebanese massacres of Palestinian refugees at Sabra and Shatila, which took place under Sharon’s nose. The Government of Israel after their Inquiry into the killings “Branded Sharon unfit to serve as defence minister.”

Rabbi Michael Melchior, the Minister for the Jewish Diaspora in the Israeli Government said “The Middle East conflict is about two peoples claiming the same land… the problem is, if you turn it into a religious conflict, then it becomes my God against your God…”

As the Ashkenazi European Jews are seen by the Christians as the ‘Chosen’ people of God this would then make this conflict a religious war, the billion Christians against the billion Muslims making the Crusades of nine hundred years ago child’s play in comparison to the bloodshed that will take place in this modern time.


Can we avert the war of Armageddon?

The Hon. Minister Louis Farrakhan at the second anniversary of the ‘Million Man March” speaking on the steps of the United Nations building said two issues can commence this most dreadful of wars, the war of Armageddon.


Britain started it, but can she end it?

“The turning point in relations between Arabs and Jews came one crisp December morning in 1917, when General Edmund Allenby became the first Christian commander since the Crusades to march triumphantly into Jerusalem, at the end of a gruelling campaign by British Imperial troops to conquer the Holy Land”.

A former Prime Minister of Great Britain Lord “Palmerston believed that the restoration of a Jewish homeland would provide Britain with a useful ally”.

If Great Britain was truly a Christian Nation would Jesus, ‘The Christ’ be pleased with her actions, or would He have to say “Get thee behind me Satan, ye workers of Iniquity, I know you not,” and “You are of your father, the Devil, who was a murderer and a liar from the beginning, and abode not in the truth and the lust of your fathers ye shall do. Will it be proved that Great Britain is against God Almighty? Has the Sun set forever on the British Empire? Has the Sun set forever on the British Empire?
