I think there is certainly a relationship between the word “Terrorism” being in the following three quotes and its relationship to violence begetting violence:
“Terrorism and takfir (declaring someone an infidel) did not divert us from moving forward to build a nation of law. Sectarianism and racism did not stop us from marching together to strengthen our national unity, set ways to peacefully transfer power, adopt a manner to fairly distribute wealth and give equal opportunity to all.”
“We the people of Iraq, newly arisen from our disasters and looking with confidence to the future through a democratic, federal, republican system, are determined — men and women, old and young — to respect the rule of law, reject the policy of aggression, pay attention to women and their rights, the elderly and their cares, the children and their affairs, spread the culture of diversity and defuse terrorism.”
“Terrorism, ethnic cleansing, and takfir are banned, as is the ‘Saddamist Ba’ath Party‘.”
I wonder what the propagandist thinks of that nation building in light of their propaganda with regard to America’s failures “to see to it that the displaced persons were treated with respect, compensated, and provided with new homes and quality lives?”
The clearly ignorant propagandist said; “Some of the violence which America and Americans have been responsible for either directly or indirectly are as follows…4. When the Nation of Israel was established in what had been the Nation of Palestine we failed to see to it…”
And that really irks me is that the propagandist thinks that America was responsible for securing “the establishment of the Jewish national home.”
What is really funny about the propaganda is that “The Palestinian National Charter: Resolutions of the Palestine National Council July 1-17, 1968” says in Article 2 that “Palestine” only had boundaries “during the British Mandate:”
“Article 2:
Palestine, with the boundaries it had during the British Mandate, is an indivisible territorial unit.”
What I really like is the fact that the territory of Palestine formerly belonged to the Turkish Empire and was no “Nation” prior to the British Mandate:
“Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have agreed, for the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations, to entrust to a Mandatory selected by the said Powers the administration of the territory of Palestine, which formerly belonged to the Turkish Empire, within such boundaries as may be fixed by them; and
Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2nd , 1917, by the Government of His Britannic Majesty, and adopted by the said Powers, in favor of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people,…”
The British “Mandatory” simply did not dissolve or create a “Nation of Palestine” as is clear in article one and two:
“ARTICLE 1.
The Mandatory shall have full powers of legislation and of administration, save as they may be limited by the terms of this mandate.
ART. 2.
The Mandatory shall be responsible for placing the country under such political, administrative and economic conditions as will secure the establishment of the Jewish national home, as laid down in the preamble, and the development of self-governing institutions, and also for safeguarding the civil and religious rights of all the inhabitants of Palestine, irrespective of race and religion.”
I am sure that the propagandist would deliberately word their history books right so as to keep their kind of people ignorant, and we have all seen such proof in this topic.
