Some answeres:
Newman said:The same History Channel that claims there were never Hebrews in Egypt and that there was no King David!
The History Channel shows us evidence and reallity. Since there are no evidence of the Hebrews being in Egypt and that there was a king name David it's reasonble to say the Hebrews were'nt in Egypt and that there was no such king name David. Proove I have a brother, there are no evidences I have but you can't disproove it. But because I have no evidences you have no reasonble reason to believe I have a brother.
David, acorrding to the Bible lived around 12th century BCE, while it's 3200 years old and it's very hard to be sure what happend on 100% it's much easier to know what happen between the 15th century and the 19th century, when the Indians were massacard by the White men.
That's the most stupid thing I've ever read on this forum!
That's sad, Newman.
A. I think I have high moral feelings and I would prefer Milions of people wouldn't die, murdered, massacared and there wouldn't be an Israel. If there were no Colonialism the Arabs wouldn't be our enemies probablly. Nazi Germany wouldn't rise. Zionism wouldn't exist. The holocaust would never happened etc'.
B. The Turks weren't better than the British and they weren't worse. While the Turks gave us enter Jerusalem and live there and befor that when Christian nations controled here we wouldn't allowed to enter. Gave us more respect than the Brits etc'. The British were Antisimetics, they published the White Paper of 1939 and never gave Holocaust survivers to get in. They were pro Arabs (the Turks too, but at least they are Muslim so you can understand why) etc'.
The British empire Liberated Jerusalem after 1100+ years of muSSlim rule. The Australians were the first ones in there. The first army to enter the Holy city in over 1100 years who didn't kill any Jews!!! And we're as bad as the Turks
Yes, you are bad as the turks and that's why we used terror to destroy your colonialism on our land. The Turks and you were equil, the Turks treat us just as the british did, maybe a bit worse but the British refused to give the Jews enter Pales-tine of the British Mandate. The Arab gave us Pales-tine at 1919 but because of the British-French stupid Sykes-Picot Agreement we lost it and than the Arabs became crazy and started pogroming us.

What the Hell!!! Europeans EVIL!!!?
I said Europeans were evil. Some Europeans are evil also today.
Tell me Dex, what about the rest of the world....china, india, peru, congo? What about those places and their murdering and killing of their fellow and neighbours!? Oh yes i forgot...they were still in the dark ages, and we don't have those accounts.
China didn't killed that much until the Colonialists came. The Chinese were very advenced. The Japanese on the other hand were Nazi animels with what they did to the Chinese. Kongo was a tribial society, Peru too, compared to what the Europeans did under cover of "Jesus" and "Elightenism" killed milions of people. So, give me a break, OK ?
Dex, you know that's leftist BS, you're a smart kid, and you need to question their nonsense. 200 million! Can you please give me those links.-in fact, i bet you 100 shekels, that at that time in history, there were not even 200 million "natives" in africa and america COMBINED!
It was on television. Anyway, it's a fact Europeans killed Milions of black slaves and Millions of natives in their war against them. The dirty war Britain fought to maintain its control of Kenya was tantamount to genocide.
The entire Kikuyu nation (the largest national group within Kenya) was considered to be under the sway of the Mau Mau insurgents, and treated accordingly.
Hundreds of thousands of men were sent to prison camps, while almost the entire female population (along with children and elderly) were imprisoned in fortified “villages” set up by the British, surrounded by spiked trenches and barbed wire, the site of torture, starvation and forced slave labour.
Indeed, at one point or another almost the entire Kikuyu population of 1.5 million were detained.
Such are the crimes of colonialism.
Earlier this year i read an interesting book – Histories of the Hanged by David Anderson – which recounts and explains the most important episodes of this dirty war. From my position of ignorance, it was a good introduction to the history of the anti-colonial struggle in Kenya, and (amongst its strengths) Anderson’s book provides ample description of the role class struggle within the Kikuyu nation played. (Indeed, while Mau Mau killed almost two thousand African collaborators, only thirty two European settlers were killed during the entire rebellion - estimates of the number of Mau Mau killed range from 12,000 to 20,000.)
As a liberal “coming to terms” with Britain’s colonial crimes, Anderson’s book works. There is an unfortunate bias, though, in that the thread he follows is the list of incidents around which men were sentenced to die by the settler government (merely being a member of or associating with members of the Mau Mau was a capital crime). As he notes, the number of men sent to the gallows in Kenya was “more than double the number of executions carried out against convicted terrorists in Algeria, and many more than in all the other British colonial emergencies of the post-war period – in Palestine, Malaya, Cyprus and Aden.”
The criminal laws the police had to enforce were originally planned to be quite similar to the British codes. However, the colonial rulers soon decided that preference should be given to introduce Indian law in Kenya since, unlike British law, Indian law was codified and thus thought off to be a better instrument to control the African population. The Penal Code, the Criminal Procedure Act, and the Police Act which were introduced in colonial Kenya, were all imported from British India. Next to this imported legal system, the British took into account customary laws: cases involving Africans were guided by native regulations, so far as applicable, and inasmuch as they were reconcilable with British standards of legal morality. The activities of the police involved night patrols in the urban areas, the detection of property crimes, the enforcement of labor laws on settler farms, the execution of death sentences, and, more than anything else, the protection of European property and persons. The enforcement of minor offenses took up most of the police time. In 1937, for instance, no less than 6,000 Africans were prosecuted for being resident in townships without permission, or because of failure to produce a pass, over 3,000 for crimes against property, more than 4,700 for not paying hut taxes, and more than 1,000 for vagrancy. Despite these impressive figures, however, many laws were not enforced by the police who ran their operations quite independently from the colonial legal administration.
