Bravo! Right on, Chris! You are absolutely right. Thank you.

This tells one all they need to know: MK Hanin Zuabi (Balad) said: "People who were expelled from their original villages in 1948 came to Jerusalem and now Israel is persecuting them again. This is a second Nakba for them." He is saying that these Arabs are not from Jerusalem and have moved there only recently when Jordan occupied Jerusalem and are not from there. The homes in question are owned by Jews who are rightfully returning home.

I agree with you, we are arab from west jerusalem, I am from qattamon, arab in sheikh jarah from baqaa, west jerusalem, give them back there home and i promise they will leave, you are very clever, you got it

get out. probably more israeli jewish leftists then arabs.

JERUSALEM BELONGS TO THE JEWS AND ONLY THE JEWS The arabs are squatters trying to steal the city from its rightful owners. I would like to know why we are letting non Israelis who represent an enemy entice people to riot in Jerusalem. Threatening a third intefada inside Israel should be considered unacepble and even if we can't stop arab squatters to hold Israeli passports having these nakba events we can at least stop non Israelis taking part I know how much he would like to but even Obama can't say we have to let Fatah take part in events to mourn the fact Israel exists.

Sad if it wsn't funny.I say this because not only have you distorted the truth,but most of us know Christian or not, you follow blindly the Islamist/Jihadists. If you think you can pull the "wool over our eyes" you are very much mistaken. There are many good Christian Arabs,but I assure you they are in the minority.YOU?I fear come under the category of Arab/Islamist ,sorry to say. Quite a few are of your ilk. If you think by writing your long waffling and spurious history, we will fall for it,then tough on you. If there was such an incident I would gather there must have beena VERY GOOD REASON to deny you the right(if indeed you had one).Jews are not averse to the Christians per-se,but I know of your kind of Christianity: A DOUBLE CROSSING TYPE. If you think we are fools,then I should think again before asking Ynet to publish your post? But then aren't you the lucky ones who come to our Jewish news outlet to spew the venomous LIES with impunity.Well, it proves the Jews are better than YOUR ILK,for they did publish it. Oh I have also heard the reverse; i.e Christians fleeing from arab sectors because they are being harrased for being INFIDELS. So,please desist in the slander toward Israel or its laws. You have to abide them if you live iN MY COUNTRY.Like Israeli Jews. Arab Israelis for instance not allowed to build without a permit? We have had this subject on another forum of not allowing Arabs to build. Anywhere in the whole wide world no one is allowed to build anything however small,without obtaining PERMIT.Be it Jew or gentile. Sorry,went on a tangent,there but neccessary.For some who think they can flaunt the LAW of the country. END

Claim your rights in Jordan. It's 78% of the Palestine Mandate. Leave us alone.

Obama agrees with these people. He is aiding and abetting their attempts to deny us our patrimony. Look to his past associations, as American Jewish voters should have.

The racist barbarians are you and your brothers. The name Palestine was a Roman creation. The land is Jewish.

Interesting that you have a voice in our media, while we have no voice in yours, isn't it? You buddy up with the Muslims who in reality hold you in only a little less contempt than they hold us. You are dhimmi too, hanzalahnaji.

Only 200 Palestinian protestors ,so how much were they paid each ,who paid them and what happened to the rest of the Palestinian sheep?

Brainwashed and corrupt are words that better describe people like Salma the Palestinian?

Once again Philistia ,the name of the Romam Emperor,s wife at the time of the Roman conquest of ancient Israel, a typical British anglicisation of this lady,s name ,which somehow became entertwined with Palestine as the Romans tried their utmost to eradicate all things Jewish ,just like the Islamofascist today in Israel.

Do us a big favor Hanzalahajni ,whatever that means and go cry on Ara fat,s grave or even better go cry at Hanan Ashrawi,s front door ,maybe she,ll comfort your crocodile tears ?

My family is Orthodox Christian. We lived in Lydda but in 1948 the Jewish army came to the town and threatened to kill all people like they did in Deir Yassin unless we leave. We were forced to march towards the Arab front lines with nothing but our clothing thousands of families with children. Many women and children died from the heat and starving. Jewish immigrant took over our home and all our possessions and now they rename it city of Lod. We will never forget.

No one can even remember the names of the hundreds of countries, cultures and peoples you Arabs wiped off of the map in the last 1400 years. During this period of time 280 million dead can be counted, 100 million enslaved, all courtesy of Arabs. Since the founding of the State of Israel alone, 62 years ago, you monsters managed to murder 6 million innocents. Why should anyone shed any tears for you being removed from the land that is not yours, that you Arabs conquered by force, slaughtered all its inhabitants and created settlements for yourself.

Well, ikhwanak al misilmeen, your Muslim brothers, were attacking and murdering Jews way before our state was re-established, since the 1920s. Go research the Hebron massacre, Safed massacre & Tiberias massacre among others that were perpetrated against defenseless & usually unarmed Jews, & they didn't care to distinguish between those who were politically active and Zionist & those who weren't. All that mattered was that they were Jews. Wat was the reason? There was no so-called i7tilal or occupation, there was no nakba, there were no Arab refugees, there was no "apartheid" wall. My family who came from Iraq & who lived there for nearly 2,300 years, like nearly 1 million Jews from Middle-East, had all their properties stolen, citizenship revoked (for those who had them), & expelled from their jobs, universities & countries. They never declared war on anyone, they had no guns to protect themselves. But because they were Jews, they were the "Zionist" enemy, & subjected to arbitrary arrests, imprisonment, torture and murder. And all this was done in YOUR name, in the name of Arabism & liberating the so-called "Falasteen al 3arabiya", which in any case they saw as a part of the larger Arab-islamic world rather than sthg distinct. Do you forget that Haj Amin Al-Husseini, the grand mufti of Jerusalem like many pan-Arabist or pan-islamist activists, openly supported & met with Hitler, and incited Arab masses against the Jews in Muslim lands with antisemitic propaganda? He even came to Iraq were the pro-Nazi gov't of Rashid Al-Geylani took power in a coup d'etat welcomed him. His hateful fatwas & speeches were wildly popular. All this incitement in Arab countries led to atrocities against Jews like the Farhud massacre in Baghdad in 1941 (not 1948, not 1967) The Iraqi govt even took in thousands of Palestinians fleeing the war & often housed them in neighborhoods & homes previously owned by Iraqi Jews but who were thoroughly cleansed. Ya3ni Juden-rein. Don't you think for one second that you're the only ones with memories. We're a nation of over 3,000 years of history (way before Islam, Christianity or any Arab nationalism or state). We too don't forget. You wail & whine about your nakba, we had countless more nakbas. There were more Jewish refugees than Palestinian and we lost way more than you in terms of homes, properties, lands, real estates & businesses. But unlike you, we didn't strap bombs to our bodies to blow up innocent ppl or sit on our lazy behinds crying & living off international hand-outs & scream "The horrible Arabs! The terrible Arabs!" We picked ourselves up & started again from nothing & contributed to the building of Israel, our homeland. And last but not least, ppl speak about "Judaizing" Jerusalem as if its something horribly alien. Jerusalem IS Jewish. I have no problem with Muslims or Christians considering it holy or living there, but they need to respect that this is OUR historical homeland & capital before it had any significance to them. In fact, if it wasn't for us or our Torah, neither Christianity nor Islam would even exist. Learn to respect your elders. Shukran

We have heard many a stories which in the end prove to be FAKE. I suppose you also have a plastic key to the house you supposedlly owned. The mere fact you mentione Deir Yassin proves my point exactly.God if one reads the real story of the period you will gather that the "deir yasssin" was because the Jews were not allowed to get out.They were starving because of the ARAB BLOCKADE And you twisted it for your convenience. So Jewish immigrants took over your property? UnbelievabLe chutzpa to accuse the ones(JEWS) suffering while you are moaning about property.While forgetting the thousands of Jews who's properties(very wealthy ones too) confiscated in the Arab countries they had been thrown out.And still no restitution for lltheir goods and chattels stolen from them.They arrives in Israel with only what they had on their backs.Penniless and straving. Give us a break,you lot always cry foul.Accusing everytime some wrong might have been perpetrated. Bullshit to you because your only aim in life has allways been the demize of Israel.Christian or not,YOU ARE NOT THE SAME AS THE REST OF THE WORLDS CHRISTIANS AT ALL.YOU ARE A RACE APPART.EVEN THE JERUSALEM CHURCHES IN ISRAEL FIGHT EACH OTHER,SO MUCH ,THE IDF HAS TO INTERVENE TO STOP THEM KILLING EACH OTHER. CHRISTIANS KILLING CHRISTIANS. Gee some Christianity I don't think! NOT THE SAME AS THE WESTERN CHRISTIANS FROM CHRISTIAN COUNRTIES FOR SURE. Cry me a river Joseph,but please no fairy stories please.

Arab armies and militias attacked Israel. Arab militias took over Lydda where fighting took place. Many Israeli soldiers died in battle. An extimated 50,000-70,000 Arab residents fled from the area to get out of the way of fighting. You forgot some important details. There's a price Arabs pay for making war with Israel.

because the denial of the Nakba is the denial of zionist responsibility for the crimes committed against the Palestinian people, and the denial of the right of Palestinians to their homeland! I didn't expect you to be have the courage to recognize this:( But all of you must know that Al-Nakba will soon be just a part of the sad history of Palestine.

arabs still lives in Lyda, so stop the whining cause we all know palis invent stories. as for the name, existed from juda kindom era, you as chritian from all people should know that, cause in the new testament one jewish person was on his way to lyda but stayed in jaffa that person name was Simon aka Petrus. Lyda is roman name.

what about your crimes, it is your responsibility. you live in denile and after what you did to the jews in jerusalem and that includes plundering everything including the synagouges I guess you got selective memory, but the crulty toward jews didn't start in 1948 it started way before, like 30's riots in jaffa you not only killed jews you also snifered British troops. can you take responsibility to that. mmm I guess not.

definite encouragement had been given to the Zionists by the Allies in Mr. Balfour's often quoted statement, in its approval by other representatives of the Allies. If, however, the strict terms of the Balfour Statement are adhered to-favoring "the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine" (American King-Crane, 1919). National home for Jews does NOT equal Jewish state.

Joseph and Salma please read tallback no 49 and we want to hear your comments.

WELL SAID KOL HAKAVOD. HAG SAMAYAH

The British envisioned Palestine as an effective post for guarding the Suez canal. It received support for sentimental reasons, because beginning in the 19th century a number of leading figures in Britain had become interested in the idea of restoring the Jews to Palestine. Paradoxically, the idea of a Jewish state was also supported for antisemitic reasons. Several members of the foreign service were convinced that the Jews had enormous influence on world affairs, and could use that influence to help either the allies or Germany. A rumor that the the Germans were about to grant a similar document to the Jews hastened the issuance of the Balfour declaration.

that the Palestinians are making mistakes when they have targeted "Israeli" civilians, especially children, regardless of all the crimes you committed against our children,because I believe kill children intentionally or unintentionally, is a terrible crime

awaiting for your response for no 49. Be courages and looking forward for your honest comment
