Both of which begin tomorrow, Thursday, Sept 13th, in most of the world.
Peace in the Middle East.
Now I hope every reader would know that I really tried to make a post where I only offer greetings for Ramadan and Rosh Hashanah, but I could not resist or ignore the ironies that came with them. I'm sorry, I can't help it.
Unlike Jews, Muslims around the world do not seem to ever reach consensus on the start date of Ramadan, some still want to observe the new moon the pre-technology way, and others are relying on astrological calculations. Among the latter group, new debates have risen about the criteria for determining the first day of the lunar month, especially as it pertains the hour of the day the new moon forms. Scientific and theological disagreements aside, this issue became a tool of politicians, dictators, and other assholes to display their resentment of others. If one country or group has a grievance with another, they'll make sure to begin "their" Ramadan on a different day. This year, for example, Ramadan is observed Wednesday in Libya, Friday in India and Pakistan, and Thursday just about everywhere else.
On the other hand, Jews rely on Muslims to help them cheat on God's directive. Every seventh year, Jews are expected to let the land lie fallow, and not cultivate it. Therefore, for this "Shmita" year, Jews, represented by the most influential rabbis, symbolically sell "their land" to non-Jews, which some how allows them to continue to cultivate the land during this seventh year, since it technically is not theirs. The Torah apparently does not make Shmita specifications for a land that is stolen in the first place.

Fayaad, I was pleasantly surprised to read what seemed to be a genuine holiday greeting. At last, I thought, something with out an ulterior motive! Sadly I was mistaken. Turns out it was just another rambling and incoherent post from a poor pathetic man. Also, why do you post links from Haaretz, don't you know that that site is censored?
Fayyad, I think your post was very coherent and wonderful.
Good job bro.
"At last, I thought, something with out an ulterior motive!"
I didn't see any ulterior motive here. He was simply keeping it real.
The oppression and tyranny that Palestinians face on a daily doesn't stop because its Ramadan or Rosh Hashanah or Christmas or Ronald Regan's birthday (you can blame Reganomics for this quasi-80's baby's truth spittin'). Palestinians suffer on a daily. We shouldn't stop putting their suffering out for the world to see simply because its a holiday.
Free Palestine.
happy ramadan, guys.
may you have many large extended family dinner parties.
The best part was your tarboush tip!
You fools really bring the Palestinian narrative down a noch, which isn't nice, considering its original starting place.
Happy Ramadan to you, and go F yourself.
I love it when racist bigots support their superior intellect with a 6th Grade spelling mistake....!
The biggest example of using Ramadan for political purposes is on display in Iraq.
The Shi'a in Iraq have decided to start fasting on Friday because Sistani said so, even though the Shi'a of Iran are doing it on Thursday. All other Iraqis are celebrating starting Thursday.
Palestinians celebrate Ramadan by continuing war:
Militant groups said they would consider the request [to avoid rocketing border crossing areas where supplies come into Palestinian territory] but had no intention of stopping rocket fire into Israel during the holy month, which began this week.
Roy,
Thanks for the update, bitch. Has Israel decided to cease its continued tyranny and oppression of the Palestinian people to commenorate Rosh Hashanah? What? I can't hear you? Oh, that's what I thought, stay in your lane, bitch.
Ooh, more spittle and whining from pali-american.
Israel doesn't practice tyranny and oppression of the Palestinian people.
What? I can't hear you?
Maybe that's because you're too busy calling people "bitch". I must admit that your pugnaciousness is a little arousing.
A zionist calling a Palestinian whiney. I've seen it all.
Anyway, happy holidays man. When I'm talking to my grandparents this weekend in the West Bank about their childhood ramadan stories in Jerusalem, you can talk to yours about the cold Russian winters.
So what you are saying is that your grandparents are soo nationalistic and ethnocentric, that they've never travelled outside of the West Bank. That they're not the least bit worldly. Sweet! I respect close-minded people like your grandparents too.
Palestinians: if there were a more whiney, victimhood assuming, attention seeking populace, you'd have to adopt them.
don't forget, when you go to the lebanese presidential polls, vote rashid karami for president. (don't waste your vote on anybody else.)
oh wait, lebanese can't vote for president.
anyay, don't forget,
ramadan mubarak,
not husni mubarak.
رمضان مبارك مش حسني مبارك
What an excellent post. Dude in Iraq the Sunnis and Shia started it on different days, even. Imagine that. The thing that kills me about Jewish holidays though is the fact that whenever there is a Jewish holiday the Palestinians have to go on lock down. Even that holiday that they don't call Halloween where they dress up in costumes and get candy and shit, the Palestinians have got to go on lock down for that. Insane! (and lame!) OK people (all millions of you) there will be no school, food, hospitals or work for you, we got some tricking or treating to do! But nah that's not called apartheid or anything, it's perfectly normal, democratic, spiritual and beautiful, somehow. That's why I am voting Green. Or maybe for Kucinich. I haven't made up my mind yet.
What kind of name is Roy anyway? It's such a lame name. If I were a guy and my name was Roy I would have hung myself by now. Roy. Lame.
OK, I totally don't have anything against gay people. Really, like I am 100% with them about them being able to adopt and stuff.
But this guy just hit on you pali-american. He said you AROUSE him because you are an aggressive Palestinian. For real. That's what he said:
"Maybe that's because you're too busy calling people "bitch". I must admit that your pugnaciousness is a little arousing."
So that's why the Israelis have been occupying the Palestinians for all these years! They like to have wet dreams about suicide bombers.
That's really sick.
Ill.
I think Jerry Falwell made a "self help" tape about that before he keeled over from being a fat fuck. Wait a minute, he didn't die from being a fat fuck. He had a heart attack during the most arousing part of the "Made in Israel" Palestinian holocaust snuff film he was watching.
Anyway, Ramadan Mubarak.
Oh and does anyone know why the beast Sharon is still being kept alive? I mean I thought about it before but I can't bring myself to do research on it. Is this Jewish law or something, you can't pull the plug on other Jews or what?
Welcome back David Duke! Yay!
What kind of name is Roy anyway?
It's an actual name, unlike "catholic sunni shia". Why the personal attacks? Have you run out of on-topic material already?
Oh and does anyone know why the beast Sharon is still being kept alive?
Yes.
why the personal attacks? Roy, inter alia, you compared Palestinians not being able to vote, (having to use seperate roads, being imprisoned without due process, tortured, murdered, having their land stolen, etc. etc.) to "we don't let Mexicans vote".
You really think we take your racist bullshit as discussion? Get the fuck out here bitch.
Fayyad,
You see this apartheid shit?
Only Muslim men aged over 45 were allowed to enter Jerusalem for prayers at the al-Aqsa mosque in the Old City.
Damn Zionists.
Al Aqsa Mosque, built right atop the Jews most holiest site. How nice you are. Thanks to the goodness of the Jews, you're lucky they didn't destroy it like Muslims destroy other religions monuments.
Anon 9:07 am.
Lucky? Let them destroy it. You think a Mosque means more to me than the millions of Palestinians lives Zionists have destroyed and continue to destroy?
Note, I realize you're trying to switch the issue...Fact: the al aqsa moque is standing and Muslims were denied the right to pray there by the zionists apartheid enforcing army. Whether you think it should be there is not relevant, bitch.
With that attitude, I'm happy they were denied. Maybe if Muslims weren't so hell bent on killing Jews during their holidays, they would be treated differently. Cause and effect bitches.
Furthermore, stop talking to me like you talk to your wife or sister. Unlike them, I'd bitch slap the shit out of you, pussy. Happy Ramadan!
"I'd bitch slap the shit out of you, pussy."
Internet tough guys, crack me up. A tough zionist...an oxymoron to the fullest.
You really think we take your racist bullshit as discussion?
Nothing racist about it. It's nationalist. As in, if you're not a citizen of this country, you don't get the rights of a citizen.
And of course, you mixed a bunch of lies in your claim. Again. As always. I'll quote the lies. You will fail to substantiate them. Because you apparently only substantiate your claims if you have a machine gun to your head.
being imprisoned without due process, tortured, murdered, having their land stolen, etc. etc
Is that what Israelis are doing to Palestinians? Making them tell the truth? Those bastards! Don't they know that Palestinians (and self-described "pali-americans") are allergic to truth? It's torture, I tell you! Call Human Rights Watch!
"Is that what Israelis are doing to Palestinians? Making them tell the truth?"
How can Isralies make them doing anything if they don't control them as you've said?
For example, when you get teabagged, if the sack doesn't hit your chin, are you really teabagging?
Also, Roy,
why do you support what Jeffery Dahmer did to those young boys? I've never heard you once speak out against this! In addition to supporting Apartheid in Tyranny against Palestinians, you support rapist murderes like Jeffery Dahmer.
"A tough zionist...an oxymoron to the fullest."
Well, they're tough enough to have wooped the Arabs in 4+ wars, with their meager population and money, so you do the math brainiac.
And you have the potential of being the first Arab that wouldn't need all of his cousins to kick someone's ass that I have ever met.
Talk about oxymorons. Arabs aren't exactly known to be tough fighters. That's why they historically attack women, children, and the elderly.
The Zionists were real tough in Southern Lebanon when they ran like bitches.
Without Planes and bombs...you'd have the typical Zionist, a bitch.
Historically attakcing women? Hu? Is that why Zionists force their women to cover their heads with wigs? Throw rocks at them for praying in men's prayer only places? or exclude women from group prayer?
Hey Pali, did you practice jumping through hoops of fire with the Palestinian police? Is that why you are so frisky today?
I'll tell you what. Tell me where you live, and I'll send a 12 year old zionist girl to kick your pudgy ass. That is, if you aren't too busy teabagging one of your gay Palestinian friends. You know, gay as in Arafat gay.
"Is that why Zionists force their women to cover their heads with wigs? Throw rocks at them for praying in men's prayer only places? or exclude women from group prayer?"
You're kidding right? You take examples from a small group of fundamentalists. DO you really want to compare that to the typical Muslim treatment of women, gays, and minorities? You really want to go there? Are you that dumb. Probably are.
Go kill your sister to protect your families honor, or just slice of her clitoris and have a Palestinian car swarm party.
Why don't you go beat one of your women for not wearing her wig or praying in the men's only prayer section. And while you're at it, fuck you self through a sheet!
Treatment of gays? Oh, you mean like when the zionits wouldn't let the gay march go through Jerusalem and threatened to bomb them? Or the time you just insulted me using gay slurs?
That's all fine. What, however, do you think about Obadiah Shoher's criticism pf Rosh Hashanah as aholiday that has nothing to do with New Year? Here, for example http://samsonblinded.org/blog/petty-paganism.htm
