Sharing our Home with “Settlers”
Nahida Izzat, Exiled Palestinian
Poetry for Palestine
Muna and Muhammed are 12-year-old twins living in Sheikh Jarrah, East Jerusalem. Settlers have taken over the front of
their home, but the Palestinian family continue to live in the rest of the house.
Like most dispossessed Palestinians, revolutionary Arabs, vilified Muslims, and decent human beings, I believe:
● No decent human-being would demand to live on STOLEN land and STOLEN homes and still claim to have a fiber of morality.
● No decent human-being could claim that the perpetrator should have the same rights as the victim while claiming to be a humanist.
● Palestinians are under no obligation to hold back their march for freedom, to curtail their aims or to smother their rights for the sake of accommodating and not offending their Jewish supporters.
● Palestinians are always grateful and appreciative of the hard work and dedication of all their supporters whomever they are, however, Palestinians have NO obligation to adopt the aims and objectives of the anti-zionist Jewish supporters instead of their own.
● Dismissing the Palestinian voice as radical, reactionary, intolerant, or unreasonable, and requiring instead the Jewish-anti-zionist stamp of approval to have legitimacy to speak for Palestine, is preposterous and contradicts basic concepts of human rights and does not do justice to Palestinians.
● Palestinians have the ultimate right to choose their vision for their future, of a FREE and sovereign Palestine including the type of government, the writing of constitution, the construction and implementation of their legal and juristic system, which stems from and corresponds to their ethics and reflects and protects their culture.
● Palestinians have the ultimate right to make the final decision on who is allowed to stay in liberated Palestine and who is not, using the legal procedure of their own choice.
● The future of the Palestinian struggle and the aim of liberation of Palestine should not be designed to shield the occupier from paying the full price of his crimes; including the punishment of all those who participated in transgression, and the deportation of the illegitimate Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants who colonized Palestine forcefully and were engaged in acts of aggression against Palestinians including serving in the IOF.
● All refugee and their descendents have the unconditional right to come back home, they as the rightful indigenous owners are also entitled to the reinstatement of ALL confiscated (stolen) land and property, compensation for all their losses over the many years of exile and they are also entitled to Palestinian citizenship wherever they are.
● The aims and aspirations of most Palestinians are not confined to the change of zionist regime or the vacuous declaration of abandonment of zionism by the Jewish-zionist occupiers, but rather to the FULL Liberation of Palestine and the restoration of all their rights.
● It is the privilege of Palestinians to decide who should stay in their homeland and who not.
● After a century of terror, theft and crimes; had the Zionist shown any signs of remorse, respect or willingness to be decent guests, had they embraced with open arms the hospitable people of Palestine rather than destroying them with fire-arms; they might have had a chance to be accepted and forgiven. Not any more, as far as I am concerned. They have lost that opportunity.
Where is all this criminal arrogance coming from?
(Please note, that below am only QUOTING, and I hope people by now appreciate that quoting from Jewish books does not qualify for the slander of anti-semitism)
The Book of Isaiah, Chapter 60:16
“Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.”
“If the enemy accepts the offer of peace and commits itself to the fulfillment of the seven mitzvot that were commanded to Noah’s descendents, none of them should be killed. Rather, they should be subjugated as ibid.:11 states:{slaves} ‘They shall be your subjects and serve you.’
“If they agree to tribute, but do not accept subjugation or if they accept subjugation, but do not agree to tribute, their offer should not be heeded. They must accept both.”
“The subjugation they must accept consists of being on a lower level, scorned and humble. They must never raise their heads against Israel, but must remain subjugated under their rule. They may never be appointed over a Jew in any matter whatsoever.”
“For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.”
“The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee; The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.”
“The souls of the nations of the world, however, emanate from the other, unclean kelipot which contain no good whatever“ (מה שאין כן נפשות אומות העולם הן משאר קליפות טמאות שאין בהן טוב כלל)
Choszen Hamiszpat, 156
“When a Jew has a Gentile in his clutches, another Jew may go to the same Gentile [non-Jew], lend him money and in turn deceive him, so that the Gentile shall be ruined. For the property of a Gentile, according to our law, belongs to no one, and the first Jew that passes has full right to seize it.“ (Schulchan Aruch)
Choszen Hamiszpat, 348
“That all property of other nations belongs to the Jewish nation, which consequently is entitled to seize upon it without any scruples. An orthodox Jew is not bound to observe principles of morality towards people of other tribes. He may act contrary to morality, if profitable to himself or to Jews in general. A Jew may rob a Goy [non-Jew], he may cheat him over a bill, which should not be perceived by him, otherwise the name of God would become dishonoured. (Schulchan Aruch)
While the vampire flood the media with their hasbara to galvanize hatred against Muslims claiming that Muslims want to impose their Sharia on others, and while the Vampire obfuscate Beautiful Divine Truth with fear-mongering, hate-mongering, war-mongering against Islam, only to deceive the nations and to conceal their dark hideous plans for the entire world, their brethren carry on the work behind the scene:
Have a look at the Chabad Lubavitchers' projects for America and the world: (please read through with patience, this is NOT the protocols nor is it a forgery, it is called the Noahide Laws)
“Upon seizing the reins of government, the new Noachide leaders will move quickly to implement a full agenda of reform. All economic and technological aid to the Communist Bloc, including the PLO, will be terminated immediately. Full support will be given to Israeli forces to reinvade PLO-controlled areas, with military assistance offered where necessary.”
“Jewish courts (the batei dini of the rabbis) will be granted full legal sovereignty over Jewish citizens within each country, who will no longer be subject to the authority of gentile courts. The pre-existing Noachide judges and courts will replace the existing court system of each country, and the legal code will be drastically rewritten to conform to halacha; in the United States, the emphasis will be on restoring the authority of the Constitution and abolishing all unconstitutional government programs and agencies.”
“The national debt will be foreclosed, probably by paying off creditors with government land holdings, thus averting economic disaster. And law and order will be fully restored through the establishment of internal security measures, again in accordance with Torah law.”
The most problematic, pressing and disturbing issue here is that, it does not matter whether Chabad Lubavitch are bad, mad, evil or simply insane, they simply still run the show in the US, and their Rebbe is adored and revered by world leaders while his “ambassadors” feel really at home in the Pentagon.

Nahida Izzat: "I am -Jerusalem born- Palestinian refugee living in exile for over 40 years. I was forced to leave my homeland, Palestine at the age of seven during the six-day war. I am a mathematician by profession but art is one of my favourite pastimes, I love hand-made things, so I make dolls, cards, and most of my own clothes. I also write poetry, and participate in dialogues with known and unknown friends as I believe that communication is the first step of understanding, I believe in building bridges not walls. My shy nature hinders me from public speaking, so I try to compensate for my shortcomings by writing! I started writing about three years ago when my friends insisted I should write about my memories, experiences, and my feelings as a Palestinian. So I self published two books (I Believe in Miracles and Palestine, The True Story) [Biographical information: Growing Gardens for Palestine]
