Sep 13, 2008 by Faris J | Posted in Current Events

In 1948 after world war 2, pretty much the entire world felt sad for the jews , so they started the mandate to kick the palestinians out of there homes to make room for the jews. I want to know why people think thats right, its like saying how would you

I agree with your question 100% Israel were originally given 56% of the whole of Palestine in 1949 by the UN, far to much in my view. Since then they have stolen even more land and put up hundreds of Illegal settlements despite demands from the UN to

Bunker Hill woman served in Australian Air Force during war

01.01.70

BUNKER HILL - During World War II, the women of the Royal Australian Air Force's wireless telegraph unit were said to know more about what was going on in the Pacific Theater than U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, commander of U.S. Army forces in the Far East.

The RAAF's wireless telegraph operators all were young women, and then-Cpl. Jean Douglas Parker was at the heart of the operation.

She was stationed at RAAF signal headquarters for the South Pacific in Melbourne during the war. And of all the coded messages she received, perhaps the most significant was one she got at 10 a.m. Aug. 15: "'JAPS' surrendered."

Now the mother of three, grandmother of seven and great-grandmother of nine, Parker lives in Bunker Hill with her husband, Earle, a WWII U.S. Marine Corps veteran and Unsung Hero.

'A VERY IMPORTANT UNIT'

To this day, Parker, 90, is sworn to secrecy about the goings-on at her wireless telegraph, or WT, post, even though it is 66 years later. The women operators there received, decoded, recoded and resent top secret messages and orders throughout the war and around the globe.
