Anti-Semitism: When There is Peace, It Will Be The End

The news of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict may be a news most Malaysian would not bother to delve in because they got better things to worry about back home. Plus it's not our war and big chance most Malaysians can't even tell where Palestine, Iraq or Arab Emirates are. Well I'm partly one of them because there's nothing I can do to significantly change what's happening there, so why bother? And yes I know where they are.

We have heard from the news countless times on how parties such as the UN and US have tried to encourage a peace talk between the two warring nations, which often resulted in more bloody conflict instead of peace. However here comes the question; CAN THERE BE PEACE?

1.0 HISTORY
I'll explain briefly on what's happening in the Palestine. After defeating the Ottoman Empire in WWI the British ruled Palestine and this was formalized by the Mandate of Palestine. During the WWII European Jews fleeing the Holocaust encroached onto Palestinian grounds which led to the British-Zionist Conflict. After the end of WWII the British ditched their Mandate of Palestine under the League of Nations because they cannot appease both the Arabs and Jews as to how the land will be administered.
Then when the new United Nations was created, the plan to divide the land to two, one Arab state and one Jewish state, was proposed in 1947. The Jews were okay with the plan but the Arabs weren't because Palestinian Arabs sees the new immigrants as intruders that set up camp in the Arabs' lawn and claimed it as their own. And after the new Jewish state was made official in 1948, with the name Israel, all Hell broke loose.

Intifada: From انتفاضة which means 'uprising' or 'resistance' where Palestinians can be seen throwing rocks, molotovs and other explosives at encroaching Israeli army and civilians.

Many many many battles have been fought, 3 intifada have been declared so far and small skirmishes still occur all around Palestine. The borderlines keep on changing with each conflict and not everyone is happy about it.

2.0 THE PLAYERS IN THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT
Here are the factions before we go further. It may be confusing for newcomers to grasp;

2.1 Israel
A Jewish nation state formed after Palestine was divided between the Arabs and Jews. The name is taken from Jacob's name of Israel after he defeated a YHWH's angel. There are Zionists who believed heavily that they must re-establish a Jewish state in their historical homeland and thus lead to the building of Jewish settlement into Palestinian Arab territory. Take note that there are Israeli Arabs residing in the Jewish state.

2.2 Palestinians
According to the Palestine National Council in 1948 they are "Arab nationals who, until 1947, normally resided in Palestine regardless of whether they were evicted from it or stayed there". Take note they are Sunni Muslim Arabs and Christian Arabs who are Palestinian.

2.3 Fatah
A Palestinian Sunni nationalist movement (founded 1957) with a long term goal to eradicate the Jewish state. However they try to achieve this via peace talks. The late Yasser Arafat is one of the party's iconic figure (died in 2004). The Fatah party were on constant conflict with the Hamas party.

2.4 Hamas
A Palestinian Islamist Sunni movement (founded 1987) with a long term goal to eradicate the Jewish state. However they try to achieve this with more direct armed conflict. Hamas won the election in 2006, disposing Fatah from Palestinian political arena.

2.5 Hezbollah
A Lebanese Islamist Shiite movement with the primary goal to eradicate the Jewish state. Apart from building schools, hospitals etc. for Shiite Muslims in Lebanon, Hezbollah is also famous for participating in any resistance during Israeli incursions.

2.6 Iran & Neighbors
Specifically Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is Hell-bent on nuking Israel from the face of the Earth (although at the same time saying the uranium-enrichment is for power plants). They help fund the Hezbollah's operations and the Iranians are Shiites. The same goes to Palestinian's Shiite neighbors such as Lebanon.

3.0 WHY THEY FIGHT?
Easy. The Jewish state wants to reclaim and re-establish their historical homeland. The Palestinians don't want Israel to build over their homelands. From 1948 until today 2010 no solution has be achieved to settle this dispute. I think whoever can broker peace between Israel/Palestine is a genius and will be handsomely paid.

3.1 WHY IS IT HARD TO BROKER PEACE?
The involvement of Shiite and Sunni interests in the region makes thing even more complicated. Sunni and Shiite/Shi'a are two of the branches in Islam.

The Sunnis are the largest branch and they basically follow the sunnah (words) and actions of the Prophet PBUH. Sunnis are those who agreed with the Prophet's companion's decision that the most capable of the companions should be the successor after the Prophet's death; Abu Bakr as-Siddiq.

Shiites are the second largest and derived from the word shi'a (faction) as they relate themselves to Ali ibn Abi Talib's faction who was supposed to receive the leadership of the Islamic community as he is a relative, not Abu Bakr. Unlike the Christians' Catholic-Protestant separated by the Sola Scriptura issue, the Sunni-Shiite share the same fundamental beliefs but separated by the 7th century leadership prerequisite dispute.

Today, like everywhere in the world and even in Malaysia, religion have been politicized. There are possibilities that Ahmadinejad, a Shiite, determination to drop a nuke on Israel which is literally within Palestinian Sunnis' grounds are more towards expanding his political influence in the region. And that is just Iran, there are Syria and Lebanon around Palestine who may have similar interest.

Apart from that some of you may ask why the other Arab nations are not helping Palestine. Well, again there are political and personal interests involved in the issue. Economic is one thing as war is a costly. Politically some Arab countries in the region have good ties to the West and are advised against participating in the conflict. And overall the whole thing is a mess as history shown that either Palestine or Israel will spark the next conflict again, and again, and again.

In addition, many security and human rights have been violated by both Palestine and Israel. We have the suicide bombers from Hamas that blows up Israeli cafes. And then we have Israeli using phosphorous and cluster bombs, illegal under 1949 Geneva Convention, used on Palestinian civilians. Each attack only aggravate more attacks and the whole vicious cycle starts again. I don't think people will easily forgive the person who burnt his daughter to death with phosphorous artillery shells.

4.0 WHAT DO THE BOOKS SAY?
Take note the Books here refer to the Books from the Heavens; Torah, Bible and Quran. It was mentioned by the prophets that Israel will undergo harsh and turbulent times during the last of days. YHWH allows Israel's enemies to attack the nation to punish and discipline her. But when the assault becomes too overwhelming YHWH will intervene and save Jacob/Israel (Jeremiah 30:7 and Daniel 12:1).

This punishment and disciplining concept is not far off in the Quran. We can see how YHWH chose Israel over the other nations (did you expect this?) and later condemned the Jews and finally punished them in these three verses:

O Children of Israel! call to mind
The special favor which I bestowed
Upon you, and fulfill your Covenant
With Me as I fulfill My Covenant
With you, and fear none but Me
(Quran 2:40)

YHWH has cursed them for their (Jews) disbelief, so they believe not
(Summary of Quran 4:46)

For the wrongdoing Jews and disbelievers, YHWH has prepared a painful doom
(Summary of Quran 4:160-1)

So basically Israel is SUPPOSED to be attacked for their wrongdoings as a form of punishment. That means peace is out of the question as it will go against YHWH's plans of making them suffer (?).

5.0 DOOM TO THE ENEMIES OF CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
If you do have some basic history you'll know the children of Israel have a lot of enemies. The Egyptian Pharaoh was onto them but saved by Moses. Adolf Hitler was determined to exterminate all the of them in WWII's Holocaust. Even our ex-Prime Minister Mahathir who fed us things like "the Jews conspiracy" and "Jews rule the world" showed his distaste for them.

Now as mentioned by a fellow Muslim Ruslan Tokhchukov, tragedies befell upon enemies of the Jewish people. The enemies of the Jewish people includes the Egyptian Pharaoh, the Assyrian Empire, the Babylonians, the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Spanish Inquisitors, the Russian Tsars, and finally Nazi Reich. All of them are undeniably powerful empires. But all of them did not have a happy ending. And it may be related to what Jeremiah and Daniel mentioned. Can you relate it to what's happening to Malaysia as well?

However with the downfall of each enemies it seem the peace for the Jewish people are only temporary as new ones will emerge. After the Holocaust in the 40s the Arab-Israeli conflict now takes place from the 50s until this very moment. Apparently their punishment will not end until the end of days as prophesied; when a multinational army converge at the Holy Land for the epic battle called Armageddon that will usher the end. The scary thing is; that is what exactly is happening now where even the UN is condemning Israeli's actions and armed intervention may occur.

6.0 CONCLUSION
There cannot be peace in the Israel-Palestine Conflict. It was as if everything is staged for the End of Days, whether you believe in the Books or not. It is a good thing to have peace between the people but alas it will most likely remain as nothing more than a vague hope. Peace for the Children of Israel is far from grasp as if it was intended to be. Should there be peace, that would mean the End.

Midsummer Course Blues

I'm having the blues. Maybe because the thought of everything is coming to an end again. Maybe it's because of departing with loved ones. Maybe it's just the Maggi I'm eating. 2 more weeks and its the end of summer course. 1 more month I'll be flying to Down Under. Hard to put this kinda feeling into words. It's like a cloudy sky with wind blowing gently enough to push the rain-bearing clouds, with no apparent sun but it's sunny enough to make you smile.

Alternatively if to describe it in music, I've been feeling Snow Patrol for the past few days and below is today's stuck-in-the-head song. Dedicated to whoever is feeling this unexplained feeling. Also dedicated to the one who has touched the brightest star.

I Don't Live On A Tree. And I'm Sarawakian

WARNING!: This is an indirect response to Hani Tarmizi. Sense of humor required. Close this page if you are not tolerant of dark jokes. Readers' discretion advised.

I guess some or maybe all of you were tagged in this pic in Facebook lately:

For those not fluent in the slang, here's a summary:

Hani Tarmizi despises a Sarawakian girl for flirting with with her husband. Then she summed up that MOST Sarawakian girls live in jungles, ulu-ulu area, and are bitchy and overall slutty.
NOTE: Her husband is from Limbang, Sarawak (unconfirmed, but oh the irony) and some speculated he may be the one flirting with the Sarawakian girl.

Well Ms Hani, sukacitanya dimaklumkan bahawa you should Google Earth Sarawak and take note of all the tiny cities or 'hutan' dotting the coast and around the Rejang Basin. It is also recommended you fly over here, choose between Kuching, Sibu, Bintulu or Miri, to see those 'hutan' for yourselves. Do not worry as you will be welcomed at the airport by an angry mob eager to show you around the place. In addition I personally advice you and your husband talk or see a counselor as a male who is susceptible to flirting (layan the flirters) is a symptom of an unfaithful relationship.

If you are unable to do all the above, I will be pleased to show you around online right here without requiring you to leave your husband before he fall prey to more bitchy Sarawakian girls.

#1 We live on trees.
I'm not sure how this started, but rest assured we have modernized as much as our Western brothers and sisters, like you. We Sarawakians do not live in the jungle on towering trees like you do because we are not that rich. Instead we live in 1-2 storey high mansions or any other homey abode of our own we can call home. It is more comfortable and less mafan than living in concrete trees 10-50 storeys high. And yes we have ASTRO and internet here :)

A Navi named Kel expresses his opinion on the statement.

#2 Sarawakian females are bitchy and slutty

In the dictionary it says;
Bitchy: –adjective, bitch⋅i⋅er, bitch⋅i⋅est.
Slang. characteristic of a bitch; spiteful; malicious
Slut: –noun
1. a dirty, slovenly woman.
2. an immoral or dissolute woman; prostitute.
(Source: dictionary.reference.com)

Bitchy? Got meh? Maybe the malicious ones lah like the ones you can see amongst Sarawakian school girls. They're just aggressive and won't let others step on their heads e.g. dudes and bitches. Like you calling them bitchy of course lah they become malicious and give you a bitch-slap for that (see picture, that'll be you bitch-slapped if you say such thing to a Sarawakian girl, or anywhere else). But definitely they are NOT bitchy (lewd).

Slutty? Wow the last time I check my mom and my friends moms are all of pure women. The only men they were involved in courtship with were our dads time zaman agogo dulu-dulu. The same thing goes to my female Sarawakian friends. Instead of being slutty, most of them are completely the opposite. I can assure you menghina most perempuan here having the two characteristics is baseless, because most of the females I know here in Sarawak are humble, does not bite unless provoked and speaks better English and BM baku.

I don't live on a tree. And I'm Sarawakian.

Senadin - e-Mart's Jalan Ilmu: Rest in Pieces

It was the 3rd consecutive rainy day but summer course went on. It was Round 3 session for my Capstone and the group yielded promising results. As promised it's time for a small celebration at the newly opened e-Mart KFC.

On the way back to continue our work we used the same Senadin - e-Mart road which was heavily flooded with everyone treading at 10-40KMph. Miri roads in these parts are just like Sibu roads, except that it produces more random potholes after rain (mind you it was raining for 3 days 4 nights already). I guessed this happened on the way back...

We didn't notice it as the road was already bumpy and the strong currents of red earth water made any holes undetectable (just like Sibu-Mukah road, except in Miri the dark-water flood hides the 1-6 inch potholes on the dark wet asphalt). The damage was only discovered BEFORE we went back to Purgatory and AFTER I was going to send on of my teammate to fetch her laptop. I was flabbergasted at the damage because 5 people in the car did not even feel a thing on the way back.

I guess that's why a JPJ SUV from Senadin slowed down and pointed at me (I thought he was talking to his colleague about the rising water). Anyways we went back to the possible crash site and as expected I saw pieces of my front kit scattered and submerged along the already sinking road. Picking up the pieces was no fun job, and the sight of us stopping on the middle of the road made drivers from Senadin turn back. It was über-saddening to experience such accident and my jolly mood was 100% changed into über-emo moment.

The next day, or the 4th day of raining the Getz was sent to a body shop for a refitting as engine or tires were not affected. It will be a few days before I can get it back. And later the same day I asked my cousin to drive me back to that road to see what 'killed' the Getz. As expected the road was still flooded.

Not surprisingly at ground zero, we found more pieces of body kits scattered around the road. They're not mine because I collected all the pieces back (a sad complete-the-puzzle moment when I got it all). And from what I can see there's a huge piece of a metallic silver Myvi's rear body kit looking 'fresh' on the semi-flooded asphalt, along with other pieces of unrecognizable carbon fiber and plastics. I guess the owners of those debris didn't know their vehicles' body kit got PWNed by the killer road. I feel like erecting a memorial at the site but the cost of the repair is already costly. Plus suing Miri Municipal Council or JKR is not feasible because it is not clear who should be blamed for this accident (let's not forget the lawyer cost).

I really hope Miri's Minicipal Council look into this matter IMMEDIATELY and patch up the holes before more damage is done, or worse. Please do revise the drainage system of the Senadin-e-Mart road which is ironically named Jalan Ilmu (Knowledge Road). We do know gaining ilmu is no easy task and costly, but please the safety and sanity of the students, as well as the other Senadin residents are at stake. I'm pleading on behalf of the community here, as well as the whole Miri community, for the matter to be attended to a.s.a.p. We don't want another Sibu-Mukah road. I'm already stressed out because of this avoidable accident. Haihz...

To those who are reading this, especially those who are in Miri, driving, and uses the Jalan Ilmu, please do re-post this somewhere or at least spread the word to prevent other drivers from suffering the same costly fate as we did. Thanks to all who gave me support and help during this unbelievably emo-causing accident. Thanks also to DIGBY and Fiona for the recordings.

Malaysian Mahkamah Website Hacked

SCREENSHOT READS: TakeDown by Brainwash!
Allah only restricted to muslim only. Dont touch us as we dont touch you. Unless...
"Mess with the best, die like the rest"
p/s: To the court, Brain know you postponed it but if you wise enough then you should drop it

The Malaysian's Judiciary website was hacked and taken down today by Brainwash. This daring act speaks louder than word as this was the best, albeit simple, humiliation assault to the Malaysian government's online system. I'm not sure if the people maintaining the website have noticed it or not (considering some government websites are still in 2005), news about the Allah usage in the Herald publication (read news here) will definitely be brought up to extreme levels. Just like pouring RON 95 onto a sayap ayam honey BBQ pit. Kudos to all.

You might still be able to catch the website being taken down here at http://www.mahkamah.gov.my/

Japan's Decreased Birth Rate

JAPAN: Wooing Women as Birth Rates Drop By Suvendrini Kakuchi

TOKYO (IPS) - Gender equality has been a distant dream in Japan but a drastic national population decline is forcing the government to take steps to help women - if only to encourage them to have more children.

''The yellow signal has started flickering,'' said health minister Jiro Kawasaki, late December, referring to the low birth rate and the consequent threat to the national economy. The government now acknowledges that the consequences of declining birth rates -1.29 per woman- can be addressed partly by increasing jobs for women and expanding the retirement age to 70 years from the current 65 years. (Source IPS: Read more)

Ham: Sorry about the article's date. I read the news on a newspaper and couldn't find an online one. So replaced with the closest article, but no difference anyways because these decreasing birth news is an annual thing. Kinda funny and ironic actually. The country has an ever decreasing birth rate and yet it is the country synonymous for many oriental 'exports' such as shown below:

Unmentionable high-quality videos from the infamous AV featuring many young innocent females which are very familiar to some of you dudes out there... Nurse? Lolita? Teacher? Maid? 2 nurses and 1 teacher? You decide...

Perhaps some anime if none of the real life females/males sate you...

And what about some of those extremely uh... creative things you never get on traditional Western mainstream entertainment... seriously I don't get tentacles but oh well...

As an outsider I don't see the correlation where there is supposed to be correlation. Japanese women say they feel insecure (financial wise perhaps), the government provides support to bear children, and then the stuff displayed above. If this was the fire science concept where the 3 things must be present: fuel, oxygen, heat, to start a fire. Yet there's no fire here.

Or I could see it from a wrong perspective where all the NSFWs above are caused by the refusal to procreate that left the males depraved. I don't know. It could be anything... urgh I got Syntax error just trying to figuring out how to link and come up with a hypothesis for this issue...

But one thing is clear though, from a HRM perspective, the human resource will either be 80-100 years old telemarketers OR automated robots and artificial intelligence with an IQ of 250 that handles your call to a Japanese firm's customer service in 20 years time... oh no and that means the adult industry will also be... uh whatever moshi moshi!

Ingin Adegan Panas? SMS ON dan hantar ke 33XXX

The news brought this issue up recently and only then I realized how much I myself was spammed by these SMSes for the past 1 year (apart from my service provider's annoying promo). Well just don't bother subscribing as I was told by some that it's "eh mana ada tipu" (obviously they have tried it) perhaps because there's no video sent to them OR the video wasn't that hot at all...

Either way don't bother subscribing because:

1. It's against the Law (I think there is an Act for it. Oi got Akta 19xx for this thing ka?)
2. Common sense: Not ALL can afford 10 megapixel handphones (in this country). So expect extremely poor blurry quality of >1.3 megapixel 3gp fun(?)...
3. Hey! I know that girl!... Oh Sh*t!

I doubt there will be a solution to this plague(?). And don't you deny it, because pornography is a reality and problem(?) in this country. If you want them go download somewhere online with HQ or HD for free instead of wasting RM2-5 on these Buatan Malaysia 3gp files...

Kazakh, Thai officials praise Najib's concept

KUALA LUMPUR: The Grand Mufti of Kazakhstan, Absattar Derbisali, and his delegation called on Dewan Negara President Datuk Wong Foon Meng at Parliament yesterday.

Wong said the delegation was impressed with the 1Malaysia concept introduced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, describing it as a good approach for Malaysia which has a multiracial and multi-religious population. (Source NST: Read more).


Ham: Yea. Congratz to our PM and thanks to the two countries for acknowledging the importance of such unity concept. I won't be surprised to see that we will be the first nation to adopt numerical in our country's name, 1Malaysia, and the rest of the world might follow suit as the generation that uses 1337 [?] speak are entering the political arena as well. So it is likely we'll have J4P4N, U$4, +h@!14ND, $!~NG4℗0R3, K4z4thzT4N, etc. The 1337s have taken over lol FTW! :D

Sayonarra 2009, Hello 2010

I'm being optimistic of 2010. Sure a lot of things happened throughout 2009 but like what my dad said "old year, new year it's the same thing" or quoting another dude who said "same sh*t different year".

Iran will still have nukes, TMNet will still operate at their current fast speed, never-ending hunger & poverty in many parts of the world, politicians getting pushed or blown up, Queen Elizabeth II still at the throne, never-ending hunt for Osama, car bombs in Iraq or Pakistan, another flu pandemic, US swirling into debts and blaming China, China getting blamed for everything, Global Warming spamming the news, oil speculated to run out and yet it doesn't, naysayers yelling the end is near, more holes and patches in Sibu roads, things naik harga, Zionists-Islamists conflict, destructive natural disasters that don't really affect Sibu, some scientist creating stuffs against the law of nature, cars will not yet fly, fossil-fuel vehicles will still be used despite the development of hybrids or alternative fueled cars, some world superpowers vetoing against decisive worldly issues, reports saying nasi lemak bad for health and then another report later says it's good, 4D business as usual, random suicide-bomber wannabe being foiled etc.

At the bright side we can now set our minds to fulfill whatever resolutions we have for 2010 (and perhaps forget about it 2-3 weeks later) AND we are that one step closer to wireless holographic laptop technology. We already have wireless chargers so a 40 inch touchscreen hologram display is much appreciated. Owh and a gentle reminder to all naysayers, the year now is 2010 and there are 2 more years before 21st December 2012. Happy new year folks!
