A Short Background To the Arab-Jew Conflict

Jews - responding to Hitler's systemic extermination of Jews of the west, there was a need to save themselves by creating a state in a land occupied by Arabs for centuries.

Arabs - were just emerging from western colonialism and rediscovering themselves their own national identities.

The two clashed and fought with deepest emotions, both believing in the will of God, morality, reason and law.

Farmers(agriculturists and artisans) have been encouraged by the Zionist movement, to settle in Palestine. Land was purchased by rich European Jews from the absent landlords (Turks not Arabs as the Ottomans were defeated only in 1918). By 1914 60,000 Russian & Polish Jews had arrived. All in, 100,000 acres of land had been purchased. There were 600,000 Palestinians living in Palestine. Zionist then pursuaded British to proclaim a national home for the Jewish. The British offered Uganda(now in Kenya). Though their leader, Herzl, was for it as a temporary measure, he died soon after at the age of 44 of a heart attack and pneumonia. The Zionists rejected the offer in 1904 as indeed they had other agenda.

British declared it's support for a jewish homeland in Palestine (Belfour Declaration) but was objected by native Palestinians more so with the increase in immigrants fleeing from the NAZI. By 1937, the Jewish population had increased to 400,000. The British were caught in between it's pledge to the Jews and Arab oil and strategic interest. Some ships had to be turned back e.g.Exodus where everyone were killed after returning to Germany. Many others arrived illegally thus fanning the Arabs' restiveness which erupted into bitter fighting in 1947. The UN's proposal on this issue was-partition- Jew get 55% of the land which were occupied by 58% Jews and Arabs get 45% of the land which had about 99% Arab occupation. Jerusalem to be held as trustee. Plan was not accepted by the Arabs.

US Position - Truman needed Jewish votes in 1948 election.

Russia's Position - Partitian was a way to rid British from Middle East, to play Arabs against Jews and keep US at arm's length.

So the fate of Zionism was in the hands of remote nations such as Liberia, Haiti,Phillippines and Ethiopia. Zionist persuaded US to pressure these nations. The resultant vote was 30:31 in favour of partition.

Violent clashes erupted.

Arab perception: To Preserve Palestine as a united independent state and therefore prevent the formation of of a Jewish state within Palestine.

Jewish perception:To avoid Arabs' menace, boundries should now NOT be limited to those assighed by UN. They could seize and hold by force of arms. The war will give them the right to what they want.

In April 1948, Jewish extremist massacred Deir Yassin, a small village near Jerusalem- this later became a stain on the conscience of the Jewish state. It elicit demands for revenge and retribution and it became the symbol of the homelessness of hundreds and thousands of Arab refugees. Mass exodus of terrified Arabs from Jewish controlled areas began.

May 14, before the end of British mandate in Middle East, the jews self proclaimed the State of Israel. Of course US and Russia recognised it soon after.

May 15, Egypt invaded from the South, Transjordan Arab Legion from the east and Syria and Lebanon from the north.

It is also necessary to note that the Jews construed that for imperialistic interests, however, in 1921 Great Britain reneged on the Belfour Declaration, lopped off 77 percent of the Land promised and set up the Arab Emirate of Transjordan. Then in 1922 the League of Nations gave Great Britain a Mandate to prepare the remaining 23 percent of Palestine for a Jewish National Home. But under French pressure, in 1923 the Golan Heights was ceded by the British to the French mandate of Syria.

Tik-Tok

"Songkang-sungkit" or Tik-tok is a traditional children's game in Malaysia.

Number of Players

The game requires a minimum of two(2) players.

Apparatus

Need two(2) pieces of sticks approximately 1cm - 2cm thick, one (1) 30cm long (long stick) and another 15cm (short stick)

As this game is usually played by children in the villages/kampongs, twigs are usually used.

Preparation of Play Area

The game is played in an open area or field. At the edge of the area, prepare a hole in the ground about 15cm long ...kind of "V" shaped such that when the short stick is placed across the hole, you can use the long stick to flick it away up front. The depth of the hole is to be such that when you place one end of the short stick with the other end above the ground, and when you hit the end above the ground with the long stick, it can raise up in the air.

Draw a line about 1/3m in front of the hole to demarcate between the playing and fielding side.

Begin The Game

Divide players into two teams. The team leader will compete who can push the small stick further, to decide on which team is to play first. The other team will then field first.

The Play

Team players will take turns to play the following movements until they are either "caught" or "out"

1st Movement: The short stick is places acrossed the hole and with the long stick, push it as far as possible.

2nd Movement : Stand at the line, holding up the short hit it with the long stick in the other hand as far as you can.

3rd Movement : Stand at the line, holding both sticks in the same hand, throw up the short stick and hit it with the long stick as far as you can.

4th Movement : Place one end of the short stick in the hole with the other end above the ground. With the long stick hit the end of the short stick above the ground so that it flicks up into the air and then hit it with the long stick as far as you can.

At each movement, fielders will try to catch the short stick. As such, player must direct the short stick away from the fielders. If it is caught, the player is "out"

If the short stick falls to the ground, the player is to place down the long stick on the hole while the fielder nearest the fallen short stick will make a throw of the short stick towards the long stick. If the short stick falls and touches the long stick, the player is "out". Otherwise the distant between the short stick and the hole is measured with the long stick. The measure is totalled up and becomes the score for the team.

When all players in the team is out, the two teams will trade places

The Winner

The team with the higher score wins.

Case Of The Evil Wind

At the end of the third millennium B.C. the great Sumerian civilization came to an abrupt end. Its sudden demise was bewailed in numerous lamentation texts that have been discovered by archeologists. The texts ascribed the calamity to an Evil Wind that came blowing from the west (from the direction of the Mediterranean Sea) -- a deathly cloud that caused excruciating death to all living beings, people and animals alike, that withered plants and poisoned the waters.

In The Wars of Gods and Men (third book of The Earth Chronicles series), Zecharia Sitchin saw an explanation of the sudden death in a long text known to scholars as The Erra Epos, that described a chain of events that ultimately led to the use of “Weapons of Terror” in a conflict between opposing clans of the Anunnaki ("Those who from Heaven to Earth came").

Based on the descriptions of the weapons in the Erra Epos­ and in the lamentation texts, Zecharia Sitchin concluded that the Weapons of Terror were nuclear weapons. Used to obliterate the spaceport that then existed in the Sinai Peninsula (and some “sinning cities” such as Sodom and Gomorrah), the nuclear cloud then was carried by the prevailing winds eastward, causing death and desolation in the Lands Between the Rivers (Mesopotamia) -- the empire of Sumer and Akkad.

Besides claiming that nuclear weapons were first used on Earth not in the 1940’s in Hiroshima but thousands of years earlier in the Near East, Zecharia also pinpointed the date: 2024 B.C.!

Scientific Corroboration Now Comes Along

That the civilization that sprang out in Sumer circa 3800 B.C. – reaching unparalleled heights under the last dynasty, the Third Dynasty of Ur (Abraham’s city) -- had come to an abrupt end near the end of the third millennium B.C. has been an accepted and well documented fact. That the end was abrupt, was also certain. What scholars deemed as still lacking was an explanation: How,­ what caused it?

Beginning in 1999, archaeologists and scholars specializing in the Near East saw mounting evidence that the demise of Sumer and Akkad (Sumer’s northern extension) coincided with an abrupt climate change. An initial study by Harvey Weiss and Timothy C. Wieskel of Harvard University was reinforced by a subsequent study (Geology, April 2000) by H.M. Cullen et al from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, the University of Utah, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the Institute fÜr Geowissenschaften, Germany. Based on studies of unexplained aridity and wind-blown dust storms and radiocarbon datings, they reported that their readings indicated a date of 4025 years ago (plus or minus a margin of 125 years).

A precise date corroborated!

Those and similar climate-change studies, relating the climate conditions to the rise and fall of civilizations in the Old as well as the New Worlds, were summed up in a major study published in the prestigious journal Science in its 27 April 2001 issue. Authored by Peter B. deMenocal of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, the study paid particular attention to sedimentary remains of Tephra; the telltale rock fragments confirmed the date 4025 Years Before Present.

And 4025 years, before the present year A.D. 2001 -- is exactly 2024 B.C., as Zecharia Sitchin had determined in his 1985 book!

The Tephra Mystery

The reliance of this latest study on the Tephra evidence is doubly significant.

While the previous studies spoke of “wind blown dust,” this latest study focuses on a material called Tephra. And what is Tephra? It is defined in geology textbooks thus:

When a volcano erupts, it will sometimes eject material such as rock fragments into the atmosphere. This material is known as Tephra.

These burnt-through pieces of blackened gravel-like rock mostly fall near their volcanic source; but ashlike particles can be carried by prevailing winds over many miles and can stay aloft for more than a year.

The area in the Sinai Peninsula where the destroyed spaceport had been is indeed covered -- to this day! -- with gravelike burnt-through blackened stones (for photo evidence see illustrations 105, 106, & 107 in The Wars of Gods and Men). But as Zecharia has pointed out in his book; there are NO VOLCANOES in the Sinai Peninsula. In the Sinai Peninsula, the source of the wind-carried dust remains a mystery.

And the only explanation for these broken and blackened stones in the Sinai and the windblown desolation in Mesopotamia can be the tale of the Erra Epos, (reflected in the biblical tale of the upheaval of Sodom and Gomorrah): not an eruption by a non-existent volcano, but the use of nuclear weapons in 2024 B.C.

Asteroid Eros

Eros, potato-shaped and about 21 miles long, is one of countless bits and pieces of planetary matter that orbit the Sun between Mars and Jupiter, collectively called the Asteroid Belt. One theory is that these are remains from the time when primordial matter around the Sun coalesced into planets, but these bits and pieces failed to do so. Another theory is that these are remains of a planet that did form there, but that it somehow broke up; the inability to explain how or why it broke up has been the reason why this theory has not been embraced by scientists.

So, to learn more about the origin of the asteroids, NASA launched NEAR four years earlier on February 17, 1996 for the purpose of reaching and going into continuous orbit around the asteroid named Eros; this was successfully achieved on St. Valentine's Day, February 14, 2000.

And the first findings. reported at a news conference on Friday February 17th, 2000 corroborated an ancient cosmogony pieced together by Sitchin.

“Eros has an ancient, heavily cratered surface," reported Dr. Andrew Cheng, chief project scientist. "There are also tantalizing hints that it has a layered structure, as if it were made up of layers, like plywood."

"Such stratified features", Dr. Cheng explained, "could occur if the asteroid was melted while it was part of a planet "(quoted by Associated Press Science News, 2/18/00)

The Sumerian Flood

The return of Nibiru to Earth's proximity was expected by the Anunnakis as severe climatic changes began to happen. As they plan their evacuation, the information leaked out to one Utnapishtim son of Ubar-Tutu by one of the leaders called Enki. According to Sumerian texts, Enki also instructed Utnapishtim to build an ark including the use of readily available bitumen as water proofing. He also instructed Utnapishtim to take the "seed" of every living things......

The texts made it clear that the floods was not the result of heavy rains. It was described as darkness, followed by colossal winds of increasing intensity destroying buildings and ditches such that it was equivalent to the passage of a large planetary body. One theory of the flood was that the gravitational forces caused by the passsing Nibiru had caused the Antarctic ice sheet which was already unstable due to the end of the last ice age. Till today most of original Anunnaki cities in Mesopotamia are still under water near the mouth of the rivers Tigris and Euphrates.

The Sumerian version had it that it all went calm after six days and nights. History has it that there was sudden absence of a large human population about 10,000 years ago . The Anunnakis returned. Together with the surviving humans they went on to rebuild................

There were three critical phases in human development:

About 11,00BC it was farming, 7,500BC it was prehistoric culture and 3,600BC it was civilization.The period of 3,600 years was equivalent to Nibiru's orbit.

The Case of The Prophet Idris

Islamic traditions has it that Idris or Enoch of the Bible, studied astronomy, physics, arithmetic and was first to use a pen.

He was said to be a 5th generation of Adam and the grandfather of Nuh(Noah) and lived around 3284-3017BC which was indeed during the times of civilization.

Commentators have argued about Idris being Enoch. However, if they were indeed the same, please read on.....

Mediaeval Masonry had it that Enoch inscribed the Heavenly Wisdom. The knowledge was given to him by Fallen Angels. However, from another source, Enoch was visited by two exceedingly big men, angels Sanuil and Raguil, whose shining faces were like the sun with bright wings and white hands. They took Enoch up to heaven for 60 days where he saw many things in the various levels of heaven. They seated before God, he was asked to write 360-366(?) books which were to be handed to his sons .

Then in 1948, copies of Book of Enoch(in Aramic) were discovered in the Dead Sea Scrolls. It tells of "wicked angles who abducted and mated with human women hence producing a hybrid race known as Nephilim". They(wicked angles) had taught mankind to make arms (to fight), astrology, medicine, viewing of stars etc... Some of the knowledge were to lead mankind to destroy themselves.

It is noted that the pre Nuh(Noah ) humans had long lifespan e.g. Adam, Seth, Enosh, Kenan, Enoch and Methuselah. Sumerian texts place humans to be about 450,000 years ago. However, if the Biblical years are adjusted by multiplying the ages by 100 we get 165,000 years which would bring us to the time of the Flood!
(Will cerita about the Flood later).

The question then is who was Adam, the first human?

A Mesopotamian colony was called E.DIN. Could it be the biblical Eden? To cut a long story short, the Sumerian account has it that genetic manipulation by the Anunnaki had produced many mutated creatures like lions with human heads, wingged animals, humanoids with head and feet of goats etc which might have been the basis of mythical creatures which we have come to know.

Creation of the first man was LU.LU or Adama in Hebrew which means "man on Earth" . Unfortunately, Sumerian texts on details of how this was done had been lost. But then we have now heard of cloning!

Have You Ever Wondered

Have you ever wondered why when a person enters a room and switches on the light or fan, he forgets to switch them off before he leaves the room. On occasions, he says he intends to return to the room again later which may be say 2 or 3 hours later!

In my opinion is this person is not a finisher. He rarely gets the job done. This dude has an attitude.

Have you ever wondered why when a person says "Yes" out loud to a certain "job" to be done, it doesn't get done days on ends, come weeks come months. Any amount of reminder does not get him to even start. "It's all in my head" he says. What follows are every possible excuse to have not get started.

In my opinion this person has a problem on how to handle the "job" but does not want to admit it to save face.

Have you ever wondered, the louder a person sounds or stronger a person looks, almost ready to do battle, he is really hiding his little self behind his so called "fortress"
