| This map has never seen the light of day by the mass mediums in the United States.
Just more of the "heroic Jews fighting with their backs to the sea against hostile evil Arab dictatotor states blah blah blah".
Just a bunch of Zionist extremist Jews stealing land and subjugating a people with the sole intent of stealing more land. Some day when the Arabs defeat them from their pent up hatred the Jews instilled in them..... you'll hear their Hebrew cries, "Why us O Lord! , why have you forsaken us?"

JERUSALEM (AP)
Israeli troops shot and killed a Palestinian teenager and gravely wounded a 12-year-old in West Bank violence Friday, while police fired stun grenades in the main mosque compound in Jerusalem after a few Muslim worshippers threw rocks that fell on Jews praying at the Western Wall below. Fifteen-year-old Mohammed Zeid was standing outside his house watching other youths hurl rocks at an Israeli army patrol in the village of Nazlat Zeid when the troops opened fire, witnesses said. They said Zeid was hit in the thigh by a stray bullet. He died in a hospital in the nearby West Bank town of Jenin.Israeli

Palestinians Abandon Village
Sat Oct 19, 7:43 AM ET

YANUN, West Bank (AP) - Sobbing as they filled a truck with furniture
and
piled themselves into dusty cars, six Palestinian families set out
from
this tiny village of old stone houses, leaving it completely
abandoned.
Members of the Sobih clan said they were fleeing the village — once
home
to 25 families — after four years of worsening attacks by Jewish
settlers, who have set up illegal outposts on nearby hilltops. The
attacks have become increasingly frequent in recent months, they
said.
"Our life here is more bitter than hell," Kamal Sobih, a thin, bearded
man of 40, said Friday.
Groups of masked Jewish settlers have charged into the village,
coming at
night with dogs and horses, stealing sheep, hurling stones through
windows and beating the men with fists and rifle butts, Palestinian
residents said.
An electricity generator has been scorched by fire, knocking out
power to
the village. Three large water tanks were tipped over and emptied.
Palestinians complain bitterly of land lost over the past decades of
Mideast conflict. The exodus from Yanun is believed to be the first
time
in recent years that Palestinians have abandoned an entire village
because of the conflict.
Confrontations between Jewish settlers and Palestinians often fall
into a
murky legal area, with the Israeli army, the police and the military's
civil administration in the territories all being involved.
An Israeli army spokesman, who insisted his name not be used, said
soldiers try to prevent conflict between settlers and Palestinians,
but
that forces are primarily in the area to protect Israelis from
attacks by
Palestinian militants.
Spokesmen for the police and the civil administration could not be
reached Friday evening, the beginning of the Jewish sabbath. Phone
calls
to the Settler's Council, an umbrella group for the settlers, also
went
unanswered Friday.
The nearby Jewish settlement of Itamar, about six miles west, was
attacked by a Palestinian gunman June 20. Five Israelis were killed
and
eight were injured before the gunman was shot dead.
The residents of Yanun have not been linked to that attack or other
violence.
More than 200,000 Jews live in about 150 settlements in the West Bank
and
Gaza Strip (news - web sites) — lands that are home to 3 million
Palestinians, who hope to establish a state on the territory Israel
conquered in the 1967 Mideast War.
Most settlements have been built with the approval of Israel's
government, though the practice has been widely criticized
internationally. In addition, some settlers have set up new outposts
without government approval, putting up trailer homes and makeshift
structures in the hope they eventually will get government
authorization.
Yanun is an isolated valley hamlet flanked by two illegal outposts on
nearby hilltops. The nearest settlement approved by the Israeli
government is Itamar.
In Yanun, the men cried as they got into two cars to leave for the
larger
nearby village of Aqraba, where they believe there will be safety in
numbers. They will live with relatives there or move into rented
apartments.
"Death would be easier than leaving," Kamal Sobih said, describing his
attachment to the land where generations of his family have
lived. "But
there is no choice."
He said he often spent nights keeping watch for attackers from his
windows.
Ahmed Sobih, an elderly man, sat in the back seat of one car, an Arab
head scarf covering his right eye. He said he lost sight in the eye
after
a beating by an Israeli settler.
He was tending sheep on the hillside when a stranger approached.
Sobih,
mistaking the man for someone from a neighboring Arab village, went to
shake hands with the man and offer him a cigarette but he instead was
beaten with his own walking stick, he said.
As they packed up, two children led sheep out of the village.
The village chief, Abdelatif Sobih, was the last to go, packing up his
rickety Volkswagen Beetle. He said he has been attacked seven times
and
his wife, Raideh, threatened to leave him if they did not abandon the
place.
"I kept urging the people not to leave, but they did, one by one," he
said, crying. "They left me without a choice. I'm blaming my people as
well (as the settlers) because they left me alone."
He drove off, leaving the village empty. They left behind almost
nothing.
Three old tires lay in front of a house. Some sheep munched grass
nearby
— the owner of the flock plans to come back for them in coming days,
the
departing resident said.
They also leave behind hundreds of valuable olive trees.
In Aqraba, a bumpy 10-minute drive down a winding road, Abdelatif
Sobih
and his family unpacked their belongings on the porch of his brother's
old house, a cramped building in disrepair.
One of his children, Bara, 6, carefully took from the car a homemade
bird
cage sheltering two small charcoal-colored birds and carried it into
the
new home. | | | | Guest | | | | | ©2002-2009 WarWithoutEnd.co.uk |
