Birthright Palestine巴勒斯坦生來 
April 16th, 2008 2008年4月16日
So, the Palestinians have noticed the success of the Birthright Israel program in getting young Jews excited in Israel and have launched their own program to “gather first-generation, western-born Palestinians (over the age of 18-years old) in their ancestral homeland, so that they can reunite and witness firsthand how their brethren are living under illegal Israeli military occupation.” According to their website (birthrightpalestine.com), the concept was created by the “Palestine Center for National Strategic Studies”.因此，巴勒斯坦人已經注意到成功生來以色列計劃在越來越年輕的猶太人興奮，在以色列，並已推出自己的計劃，以"收集的第一代，西方出生的巴勒斯坦人（年齡超過18歲）在其祖先家園，讓他們能夠團聚，並親眼目睹了他們兄弟是生活在以色列的非法軍事佔領" ，但按照他們的網站（ birthrightpalestine.com ） ，這一概念是由"巴勒斯坦為中心的國家戰略研究" 。 I don’t mind so much that Palestinian organizations are taking credit for the concepts that were though about by Jews and then adapted, but what I do worry about is the message that these kids will be getting.我不介意這麼多說，巴勒斯坦組織正在採取信用為理念，雖然被由猶太人和隨後改編的，但照我做的做擔心的是信息，即這些孩子將得到的。 The PCNSS’s own website (pcnss.org) has in their symbol a map of a country that looks an awful lot like Israel - I’m guessing that this is the “Palestine” that they’re referring to.該pcnss自己的網站（ pcnss.org ）已在他們的象徵，一張地圖，一個國家看起來，臉難看很多以色列一樣-我猜，這是"巴勒斯坦" ，他們所指的。
So we’re going to jump to a conclusion here - these first generation non-Palestinians coming on their “Birthright” trip are NOT going to be taught about peace, tolerance and co-existence, and will likely be taught alot about “Israeli brutality”, the “illegal Israeli occupation”, etc. According to the birthrightpalestine.com website, the trip was “created to maintain Palestinian unity on an international level” and to “nurture relationships between participants of Palestinian ethnic因此，我們會跳轉到一個結論，在這裡-這是第一代的非巴勒斯坦人即將就其"出生"之旅不是去教導和平，寬容和共存，並很可能會教了很多有關"以色列的暴行" ， "以色列的非法佔領"等，據該birthrightpalestine.com網站透露，此行是"創造，以維持巴勒斯坦團結，對一個國際水平" ，並以"培育之間的關係參與者的巴勒斯坦民族
origin whom were born in different countries around the world”, with the hope of an exchange of ideas that will “possibly lead to a cohesive consensus on core issues of importance to the Palestinian Nation.”原產地，其中出生在世界各地不同國家的" ，希望能交換意見，將"可能導致一個有凝聚力的共識，對核心問題的重要性，向巴勒斯坦民族" 。
Now, in the past we’ve been quite clear about our thoughts about the claim of “Palestinian Nationalism” - there is no Palestinian nation and there never was.現在，在過去我們已經很清楚我們的思考聲稱： "巴勒斯坦的民族主義" -沒有巴勒斯坦民族的人們沒有想到，是的。 The Arab Palestinian national movement began in the 1960s - before that, Arabs living in Palestine identified themselves as being South Syrian or simply as Arabs.阿拉伯巴勒斯坦民族運動開始於20世紀60年代-那之前，阿拉伯人生活在巴勒斯坦領土上認同自己是被南敘利亞或乾脆為阿拉伯人。 In fact, before World War I, many of the Arab countries that exist now didn’t exist back then.事實上，在二戰前，我的許多阿拉伯國家認為，現在存在不存在不會回來了。 Here’sa map:下面地圖：
So now, 100 years later, the Arabs who happened to live in “Palestine” when Jews began to move their, invent a nationalism that historically never existed and are using it as a cynical political tool.所以，現在， 100年後的今天，阿拉伯人碰巧生活在"巴勒斯坦"的時候，猶太人開始搬家，發明一個民族在歷史上從未存在，並用它作為一個玩世不恭的政治工具。 I expect this plan to run into some roadblocks, primarily getting people to come in the first place.我預料這計劃遇到了一些路障，主要是讓人們來擺在首位。 To get to “Palestine”, the participants must fly into Tel Aviv, Israel, since there is no international airport in Palestine (for if there were, Israel would be in grave danger).進入"巴勒斯坦" ，參加者必須飛入以色列的台拉維夫，既然沒有國際機場，在巴勒斯坦（如果有，以色列將面臨嚴重危險） 。 In the FAQs on the site, the organizers site “security precautions” for not releasing a list of participants - surely the insinuation is that people participating have to be worried about their security from Israelis.在常見問題上的工地上，主辦單位網站的"安全預防措施" ，沒有及時發布一份與會者名單-肯定是含沙射影，是市民參與都必須擔心他們的安全，從以色列人。 They likely have a point - surely if a participant list was distributed ahead of time, Israel would get their hands on it and be able to investigate the participants before they land in Tel Aviv and deny entry to any with suspicious backgrounds.他們可能有一點-肯定，如果參與者名單發給未來的時候，以色列將得到他們的手放在它，並能夠進行調查參與者面前，他們的土地在特拉維夫否認進入任何可疑的背景。
Whatever the goal of “Birthright Palestine”, we don’t think it is going to be pushing for a two-state solution or a solution that leaves any Jewish presence in the Middle East.無論目標， "出生巴勒斯坦" ，我們不認為這將推動兩個國家的解決方案或解決辦法，這使得任何猶太人在中東的軍事存在。 Surely peaceniks will love this concept, but will it bring about peace?反戰一定會喜歡這個概念，但是否會帶來和平？ Like everything the Palestinians do, that is unlikely.像一切巴勒斯坦人，這是不可能的。
As a follow-up to this story, we’d like to write about the “Palestine Center for National Strategic Studies”.作為一項後續行動，以這個故事一樣，我們希望能寫"巴勒斯坦為中心的國家戰略研究" 。 Does anybody know anything about this organization and where it gets funding from?是否有人知道任何有關這個組織的，而它得到的資金？
