I will explain to you again:Israel is the Jews ancient Land. Out of this FACT ,Jews were given part of its own originaly Land ,when Brits left that area,1947. YOU atacked that land, Israel,which had been calmly building itself,because YOU are racists and didn't accept the facts of that partition. You LOSE the war that YOU started. Once again,in 1967,you threatened the Jewish because YOU are racist and did't accept Jews,and again you LOSE the war and territories,this time. Out of these facts,YOU constantly threaten Israel,and Israel has been only defending itself. Jews,as any other people in this world, have the right to live the way they choose,and Israel don't want to live among people that hate them.Understand?

So it was o.k. for the arab world to systematically ethnically cleanse its populations of jews as a direct result of the arab worlds decisions to make war instead of peace with israel, but arabs should be allowed to live anywhere they want on planet earth. When do I get my property in iraq back? Have you always held jews to a higher level of accountability and responsibility than arabs? Do you feel they are incapable of compromise so you do not bother to make expectations of them?
33. 20 Nidal: You need to get history right

WHAT DOES "PALESTINE" MEAN? It has never been the name of a nation or state. It is a geographical term, used to designate the region at those times in history when there is no nation or state there. The word itself derives from "Peleshet", a name that appears frequently in the Bible and has come into English as "Philistine". The Philistines were mediterranean people originating from Asia Minor and Greek localities. They reached the southern coast of Israel in several waves. One group arrived in the pre-patriarchal period and settled south of Beersheba in Gerar where they came into conflict with Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael. Another group, coming from Crete after being repulsed from an attempted invasion of Egypt by Rameses III in 1194 BCE, seized the southern coastal area, where they founded five settlements (Gaza, Ascalon, Ashdod, Ekron and Gat). In the Persian and Greek periods, foreign settlers - chiefly from the Mediterranean islands - overran the Philistine districts. From the time of Herodotus, Greeks called the eastern coast of the Mediterranean "Syria Palaestina". The Philistines were not Arabs nor even Semites, they were most closely related to the Greeks. They did not speak Arabic. They had no connection, ethnic, linguistic or historical with Arabia or Arabs. The name "Falastin" that Arabs today use for "Palestine" is not an Arabic name. It is the Arab pronunciation of the Greco-Roman "Palastina"; which is derived from the Peleshet, (root Pelesh) which was a general term meaning "dividers", "penetrators" or "invaders". This referred to the Philistine's invasion and conquest of the coast from the sea. The use of the term "Palestinian" for an Arab ethnic group is a modern political creation which has no basis in fact - and had never had any international or academic credibility before 1967. PA AND PLO LEGAL STATUS PA and PLO do not constitute a state as defined by the law and applicable to international law because both entities lack a defined territory with a permanent population controlled by a government that has the capacity to enter into foreign relations. 'Palestine' is an amorphous entity whose status remains a question, it is legally NOT an existing reality. PROOF: On June 21, 1989, the Swiss Federal Council in Geneva received a letter from "[T]he Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization, to adhere to the Four Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949 ANSWER: Palestine is a NONE State entity: On September 13, 1989, the Swiss Federal Council decided that it could not give a valid accession to the Geneva Convention "due to non-existence of a State of Palestine." There has never been a State called Palestine Please assure you answer now. We are awaiting still your answers - since we asked you this before - how come you don't come with facts When was this State a sovereign State - run by Arabs What was their Governmental set up and it's leaders What was their currency - and it's exchange rate against major currencies If that State did exist, what was it's demise and why did it not survive Who was responsible for the demise Please bring historical figures to answer all the above with Proof Thanks in advance
34. Polls are just that Polls which we all know are always
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (05.09.06)
different to who in fact was doing the polling Polls are mainly manipulated and of NO realism. Example Zogby polls we know are highly political - the most well known pollsters - now if they are manipulating - and political orientated - than what do others do ????? You want a certain answer to a poll - you will be able to politically manipulate same to just those answers you want them to be - Now - How do you think Israel will be treated in any Poll - when the world as such as UN etc... will intentionally treat Israel on a different scale - and figures will be NEVER exact - since it is those who feed the poll - that will act one way or the other Pollster John Zogby had a problem: Too many political lefties were signing up to participate in his online surveys of public opinion. And suddenly, Zogby International, a high-profile polling firm that has worked for some of the biggest names in the media, politics and corporate America, became a player in the pot lobby's. John Zogby, the president and founder of the polling firm, downplays the arrangement. " 'Relationship' may be too strong a word," Zogby says. "We have reached out to all sorts of groups to increase our e-mail channel: conservatives, liberals, libertarians, even normal-type people in both senses of the word" Now what does Zogby or any Poll call normal type poeple ????? Some pollsters question Zogby's recruiting methods. A ferocious debate currently rages in the polling community about the accuracy and reliability of Internet surveys, virtually all of which are based on Internet users who volunteer to participate rather than people selected at random. Adding to the problem is the fact that Internet users tend to be disproportionately male, white, young and better educated than the rest of the population. Internet pollsters attempt to correct for the difference by statistically adjusting their samples to contain the right proportion of women, older people and those with less education. But these corrective measures aren't enough, critics charge. "I could run up and down K Street and select a lot of people and collect their opinions and statistically manipulate that sample to look like the United States in terms of race, sex, income and education," says the Pew Center's Kohut, former president of the Gallup Organization "But in the end, it would still be a sample of K Street and the people would still reflect a different set of views from the country as a whole. It doesn't work." So - who did the POLLING for this articles base ? Who really is behind the Poll ? That alone would tell us how believable and accurate the Poll is I don't trust Polls - since they ALL are manipulated by those who have an agenda.
35. Not racist
Shai ,   Israel   (05.09.06)
Most Muslim countries are residents to a single race. This is because nobody else is allowed to exist in them as "equals". It says nothing about Israelis that these MK's say what they say. It says everything about them. The Arab Party MK's (I'm not referring to those in the major parties) have shown EVERY step of the way that they wish to dismantle Israel as a Jewish Democratic state, which they are sworn to uphold as Knesset members. Israelis (62% of them) only recognize the facts - Arabs are not interested in building our state with us. They've thrown their hat in with the Palestinians. Anybody who really knows what goes on here also knows that the Galil and Negev had been mostly populated by Arabs from the West Bank and Gaza during the last 35 years. I don't think we need to apologize when we say we didn't build our state just so that they can take it from us. Therefore, without moving a single soul, why can't we just recognize facts, trade Ariel for Um El Fachem and Kfar Kassem for Beit El (etc.), and live our lives in peace? This is not racist. It's common sense.
36. #15 EVERLASTING HATE - FREE SUDAN'S JIHAD SLAVES NOW!
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (05.09.06)
Bible, Leviticus 24:17 "If a man takes the life of any human being, he shall surely be put to death" Black Africans are the indigenous people of Sudan and are the majority population. The black Southern Sudanese Christians explain what "peace" means: If you agree to become a Muslim, you will have peace. If you reject Islam, you are at war. From 1955-1973, 1.5 million Christians were slaughtered by the Arab Muslim government in Khartoum. From 1983-2005, two million more Christians died from Khartoum's jihad. Murdering infidels is not considered a crime. Non-Muslim infidels are regarded as not entitled to human rights. Hundreds of thousands of Christians have been raped. Hundreds of thousands of Christian children and women taken for slaves. In the refugee camps, the Islamo-Fascist religious supremacist Khartoum government requires refugees to become Muslims in order to receive food and water. The genocide has resulted in the largest population of refugees on earth since the Second World War. The jihad in Sudan against Darfur's black African Muslims by Khartoum's racist Arab Muslim regime began in 2003. 400,000 black Muslims are dead. STOP Genocide - STOP Slavery - FREE the Slaves http://www.iabolish.org/ Bible, Exodus 21:16 "He who kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or he is found in his possession, shall surely be put to death"
