Former senator speaks of war
By: DAVID OWENS, Associate Editor August 21, 2006
Imagine a resolution passed by the federal government that would give
parts of Tennessee, Arizona, South Dakota and Mississippi back to
American Indians.
Though the Native Americans were forced out of their lands, the same
would happen to the people who have settled those lands for the last
2,000 years.
Malcolm Mabry, a former Mississippi senator, told Clarksdale Lions Club
members that very thing happened to the residents of Palestine.
"In 1947, the United Nations decided to take Palestine, home of Arabs
for 2,000 years, and make it a homeland for the Jews," Mabry said.
"There won't be peace. There can't be peace."
Mabry said the United States is currently under the biggest mess and
weakest leadership in his lifetime.
"I switched parties in 1965 because I was sick of the Democrats," he
said. "I'm now sick of Republicans. I'm going to be independent."
Mabry said the United States has convoluted matters by providing neary
$4 billion a year to Israel in military hardware and money.
Mabry said the current conflict in Palestine dates back to Nov. 2,
1917, after the conclusion of World War I.
"Turkey sided with the Central Powers," he said. "The Allied Powers
decided to put the countries in the Middle East under a mandate.
Control went to Britain and France."
Mabry said Britain promised to turn Palestine into a Jewish homeland
for the people who agreed to side with them against Germany.
"The Balfour Declaration was the crux the Zionists hung their hopes
on," he said. "They created a racist state."
Mabry said Britain tired of Palestine in 1948 after it became a
"quagmire."
"I wrote a paper 47 years ago calling the Arab-Israel conflict a
'Middle East time bomb; the spark that would ignite World War III,'"
Mabry said, holding up the paper. "People were so stunned over 9/11,
but it's goes back to Nov. 1948 when the U.N. voted to partition
Palestine."
Mabry said he is against fundamental Christians siding with Israel
because they are "God's chosen people."
"Today, we are supplying weapons to Israel to use against Hezbollah in
Lebanon," he said. "I'm not saying Hezbollah shouldn't be controlled. A
good Muslim does not want infidels. It's like putting Moslems in the
Vatican."
Mabry said many top politicians have voted against certain resolutions
that Israel does not favor.
"This spring, two professors wrote a paper asking why the greatest
supporters of Israel are fundamentalist Christians when they have
rejected the Messiah," he said.
Mabry said he found the answer in a book written by a former Texas
politician.
"It says May 14, 1948 was the most important day in history," he said.
"The last days could not begin until the Jews had their own homeland.
I've watched this thing grow and become more and more distraught."
Mabry said Israel and North Korea are the only two countries not to
have signed the anti-nuclear weapon treaty.
However, North Korea is the only country receiving any negative press.
"When you watch the news, all you see is the Israeli viewpoint," he
said. "Iran is not looking to attack us. They have missiles to reach
Israel. That's what Hezbollah has been using."
Mabry said the U.S. does not have any reason to assist in Middle East
turmoil in Israel or Iraq.
"We had no reason to go into Iraq," he said. "We should do like we did
in Vietnam. Declare victory and leave."
