The trouble with Jesus المشكلة مع يسوع المسيح

The Problem with Jesus
or ,
was Jesus really run-down by a Bulldozer ??

To start with, he was from a middle class family
whose father was a simple carpenter, nothing fancy,
nothing exiting.
You might also call him a proletarian even ,
bearing in mind that he was also a refugee….in Egypt,
but he did not steal from Egypt on his way out ,
like Moses did…..

So Jesus being an honest person ,it made him poorer
and consequently a proletarian too.

Add to that characteristic the fact he was born and raised
under occupation by a huge imperial power whom he disliked
to say the least……
Which made him an agitator a troublemaker ,a militant,
an activist otherwise known as revolutionary ,
and in today’s terms he would be
a Chavezist or a Castroid or a Saddamist………….
or simply a Hamas-member ( or even a Hamas leader)

Anyhow he was from the third world and an Arab.
And even worse than Arab, he was a Palestinian !!
A Palestinian against Rome
and against those long-beard-rabies of Jerusalem.

With such a description ,,,,,,,,,
Jesus was looking for troubles !!

Add to that , he also disliked the rich ,even helped the poor
and has forgiven to a prostitute and even defended her !!
And if you thought that that was all , he also fed the hungry,
he gave away his own coat to the needy and he preached equality.
Just like Hamas does……..today.


Imaging !!
In an occupied country , like Palestine,
someone comes to separate Caesar from God
and to separate theocracy from politics
and to differentiate between Judaism and Monotheism
and to promote equality and to share wealth.....

Such a person was looking for troubles :
A proletarian-Palestinian , anti-occupation
and anti religious-dogmatism and pro-social-equality…...
even Karl Marx would be jealous of him.
As a matter of fact Karl was jealous of him ,
and the Churches soon forgot him
and started worshipping his mother , instead.


He had it coming ,
no wonder he did not live more than 33 years !!
In nowadays standards ,
he would have been shot by the age of 14 ,
or run down by an Israeli-Bulldozer !!

المهم أنه كان من عائلة متوسطة الحال
كان والده نجارا بسيطا... ليس بالشيء الكثير
وليس بالمثير...
وحتى يمكنك أن تعتبره من البلوريتاريا...
مع العلم بأنه كان أيضاُ لاجئ... في مصر...
ولكنه لم يسرق شيئاً من مصر عندما تركها...
كما صنع موسى...

ولما كان أميناً وصادقاً... فهذا جعله فقيراً...
وبالتالي... بروليتاري...

بالإضافة إلى تلك الصفة فقد ولد ونشأ تحت الاحتلال...
احتلال قوة إمبريالية عظمى... ألتي مقتها...
على أقل تعديل...
وبذا أصبح مشاغب... مثير للمشاكل... متطرف...
وناشط... أي أنه كان ثوروي...
وبالتعريف المتبع في أيامنا يكون...
شيفاري... كاستروي...و...
أو ببساطة عضو في حماس (ويمكن أن يكون قيادي حمساوي...)

وعلى كل...كان من العالم الثالث... أي عربي...
وحتى أسوأ من أن يكون عربي... فهو فلسطيني...!!!
فلسطيني معادي لروما...
كما هو طبعاً معادي لهؤلاء الحاخامات أصحاب اللحى الطويلة... في القدس المحتلة...

ووفق تلك المواصفات......
كان يسوع يبحث عن المشاكل...!!!

بالإضافة إلى ذلك كان يكره الأغنياء... وحتى أنه ساعد الفقراء...
وغفر لعاهرة... وزيادة على ذلك حماها!!!
وإذا تصورت أن ذلك كل شيء... فهناك ما هو أسوأ... لقد أطعم الجياع...
ووهب عباءته لمحتاج... وبشر بالمساواة...
بالضبط كما تصنع حماس في يومنا هذا...

تصور!!!
ففي بلد محتل مثل فلسطين...
جاء من فرق بين القيصر والله...
ويفرق بين الدين والدنيا... السياسة...
ويفرق بين اليهودية المسيسة والصهيونية... والتوحيد...
وبشر بالمساواة... وتقاسم الثروات...

مثل هذا الشخص يبحث عن المشاكل...
فهو بروليتاري فلسطيني... ومقاوم للاحتلال...
وضد التعصب الديني... وداعي للمساواة الاجتماعية...
بحيث أنه يثير غيرة كارل ماركس...
وبالفعل فقد غار ماركس منه....
ولم تلبث الكنائس أن نسيته...
وأصبحوا يعبدون أمه...

وجاءه ما هو أدهى وأمر...
فلا عجب أنه مات في عز شبابه...أي لم يعش أكثر من 33 سنة...
وحسب معايير أيامنا...
فكان سيغتال في سن الرابعة عشرة...
أو أن تدوسه جرافة البولدوزر الصهيونية وهو يدافع عن شعبه الفلسطيني...!!!!

From which part of Palestine, I came......"من أي جزء من فلسطين أنا جئت ؟...."

"from which part of Palestine
do I come from ??..."




I come from that part
of Palestine
called the Lebanon

of that Palestine-Village
called the oppressed-nations

of that Palestine- a huge-River
called the Arab Nation


My Jesus was also an Arab
who carried the
Cross of humiliation,
the Cross of Liberation
the Cross of resistance
against
the imperial-Rome
and against
the exclusive-Zion


my Jesus was also
a Palestinian
just like me
and like
200 Million other Arabs.......


Jesus grew up on
the banks of the Nile
and
Abraham grew up on
the banks of the Tigris
they all met in our Palestine.

Mohammad grew up in the hills
of Mecca and finished delivering
the Divine-Message ,
also here ,
in his Palestine .


And if you still dare asking me
which part ? are you from ...?

I say ,
I am a Lebanese
born in the Syrian-Mountains
in the Sea of the Arabs

under God's Sun
that gave us light,warmth
and showed us the Path.

Which part , you still ask ?

North to the North of Palestine,
where the river Jordan
springs up !
and
where also the Euphrates
sees his first light !

where Princess Europa
was born .


south to Anatolia
west to Persia
north to Aden

Where Mohammad met Jesus
and
where Moses
was not allowed to enter .....

That
Palestine of the Arabs !

Raja Ibrahim Khalil Chemayel

أنا جئت من ذلك الجزء
من فلسطين
ألذي يدعى لبنان
من تلك القرية الفلسطينية
المدعوة الشعب-المضطهد...

تلك الفلسطين،
النهر – العظيم
المدعو بالأمة العربية

مسيحي كان أيضا عربي
الذي حمل صليب الإذلال
صليب التحرير
صليب المقاومة
ضد
روما – الإمبريالية
وضد...
صهيون-العنصري

ومسيحي أيضاً كان فلسطينياً
تماما مثلي
ومثل
200 مليون عربي آخر... غيري...

المسيح شب على
ضفاف النيل
...وإبراهيم شب على ضفاف دجلة
...و
وكليهما التقيا في...
فلسطيننا...
ومحمد شب على روابي...
مكة وانتهى بها الأمر
ينقل رسالته المقدسة
في فلسطيننا أيضاً

وإذا لا زلت تتجرأ على سؤالي
من أي جزء أتيت...؟

أجيب...
أنا لبناني
ولدت على تلك الجبال- السورية...
في بحر العرب...

تحت شمس الله
الذي أعطانا النور... والدفيء...
ودلنا على الصراط المستقيم.........

أي جزء؟ لا زلت تسأل...
من شمال شمال فلسطين...
من حيث ينبع نهر الأردن
و... ومن حيث أيضا... يرى الفرات
أول أشعة نوره!!!
ومن حيث ولدت...
الأميرة أوروبا...

جنوب أنطاكية..
وإلى الغرب من بلاد فارس...
وشمال جنة عدن...

حمن حيث قابل محمد المسيح...
و...
من حيث موسى...
منع من الدخول... إليه...

من فلسطين... العرب...

Who shall trow the first stone ??

Hamas , while taking over Gaza
has entered the shrine of Fateh's secret-police-head-office.

Only to find out that all suspicions were correct :
A Great portion of Fateh's leadership was on the payroll
of a mighty intelligence agency serving the interests
of the only Super-Power which serves the interests
of the Only-Democracy-in the Middle East.

So based on those findings , I ask myself :
when the circle starts by the Mossad , then the CIA,
then Fateh's Dahlan reporting to the CIA which reports
back to the Mossad......
then who is the enemy and where is the enemy ??
The circle is closed and all the bad-guys are stuck in it !!

I suggest that this whole planet would be divided in two camps :
The Good-Guys (if they still exist)
and
the Bad-Guys (of which there are plenty).

No need more for regional-powers , emerging-powers,
super-powers, financial-monsters and rising-powers.

Let us divided the whole in two
because hypocristy ,hegemony, self-interrests and oportunism
have created a very confusing situtation
wereas an enemy is hard to define
and a friend is hard to find.......


In the meantime I stick to Hamas and to Hezbollah
and I am sure my Jesus shall not blame me , at all.
On the contrary I am sure that Jesus may join us too .....
and allow Hamas to throw the "first stone"

The Tie and the Ties

Gordon Brown went to visit his master's
in Washington................
and for those of you who claim that Gordon
is a puppet just like his predecessor Tony,
I say that they are not "completely right".....

Because ,
Gordon has chosen all by himself
the colour of his suit and of his tie.
and Gordon has , as from now ,
his own opinions and his own strategies.

Because,
also, he found out now , finally ,
that it takes more than 45 minutes
to arm and to launch those WMD
As a matter of fact it took him ,
3 years 5 months and 23 days
to find out that.......

Nevertheless, rest assured that
the Axis of the Anglo-Saxons
has survived and is pursuing its missions...

Fottball and Politics

Often George said repeatedly and endlessly
that "12 million Iraqis went to vote"
but he forgot to mention, to us ,that they voted for the
separatists, sectarians, theocracy- followers and feudalism.
Not to forget the collaborators and thieves..... ..

I remember well that when President Saddam Hussein
was still in power 14.458.885 Iraqis voted
(which is more than 12 millions) and the result was for
non-separatist, non-sectarian , secular and rather modern
candidates who have won , then , before that " US -Democracy ".

You may have you own opinion here,
different than mine but the fact remains that
14 millions are more than 12 millions and that
secularism and non-feudalism are much better
than any US-Imported- Imposed-Democracy. .....

And before George W.Bush again opens his mouth
and steals the truth, once more:
I inform you that Iraq has won the Football-Cup for Asia
and this has nothing to do with
"Democracies dropped out of a B52 bombers"


Iraqis have won from the Saudi Arabian Team
and that is a triumph too , knowing that the Saudi Team
is made out of one only sect and the Iraqi was multi-sectarian,

Which is a double contradiction with the US polities which
stands behind Saudi Arabian own brand
of a peculiar socio-political- pattern
and an absolute-monarchism

This time (and again) George has better shut-up..... .
