36. re33:Abraham came from Iraq and Moses from Egpyt
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (12.04.10)
In the 1920's many Arabs countries did not consider the Palestinians as Arabs. Jerusalem was Canaanite village before King David made it a Jewish city. About half the Canaanites were force to W. Jordan around the time of King Saul or King David and setup their own kingdom, the rest became Jewish. So some Palestinians and some Jews have Canaanite blood, both with some claim to the land. Canaanite writing with some Hebrew words was used in King David and King Solomon time and later was fountain of Hebrew writing.
37. goodwill
Brian ,   California   (12.04.10)
I just hope that we can soon be in a time when goodwill is offered and accepted as it is .. goodwill. Jews and Arabs must learn to live beside each other because the only other option is not to. Choose life and love, not hatred. Thank you to the Palestinians and other Arabs that have offered or are providing help. Peace will come when we see each other as human beings, not as settlers, not as terrorists.

39. #14 The Jewish people are the only nation to have sovereign
Jae ,   Lynn US   (12.04.10)
state here in over 3000 years. When I said 1800 years it is because the last soveriegnty of the Jews was by Bar Kochba in the last rebellion against the Roman Occupier. That was in 135 ce. The RE-birth of the Jewish sovereign state, no only being unique in human history for an ancient people returning to their place, was established in 1948. 1948-135=1813 years. Its only arithmetic.

absolutely right.
41. #20 Spare us the sob story. The arsonists are Arab terrorist
yochanan ,   Tzafon, Israel   (12.04.10)
and everyone knows this. You dont have to be a genius to know how there was celebratiopn when Hizbullah bombed Israel, when Hamas bombed Israel, when Saddam Hussein bombed Israel, when your mks show up on terrorist flotillas and publicly and repeatedly deny the Jewish hsitory here. That said, the PA forces did help Muslims only. That is a racist policy is it not? 41 Israelis in a bus were brunt alive trying to rescue a prison of palestinain terrorists and criminals. Jews saving Arabs, saving Muslms. Yet the racist palestinians like yourself wont save Jews. Now who is the racist hypcocrite? And I will remind you that Arabs were given far more than Jews; you have land mass bigger than any country except Russia. Bigger than US and Canada and China combined! You have thye majority of the worlds oil money. You have so much. We have so little,;Israel is not even 1% of your arab land mass. And Im not even touching on the 57 Muslims nations total, "only the 22" arab " nations total. So spare us the crocodile tears of neglect, when your people andpeople like you are happier to die than to see Jews live. These fires were set by Arab people with the same ideology as you. And Qatar getting to host teh world cup? Does any Arab write anything posditive about Israel???????? Are you kidding me? They will be beheaded. so why should Israel kiss the butts of nations who seek to murder it? You have no logic behind you.
42. Ken in Burma
Jake ,   Haifa Israel   (12.04.10)
The Jews no matter who they are do not have a public charter that calls for the murder of all Arabs and Muslims. However the radical Arabs and Muslims do. How is that for one major difference? Jews are not setting fire to any Arab or Muslim Countries towns and forests. How is that for another difference? Dont let your emotions and bias get in the way of your reason and logic, or is it too late for that?
43. #30 Islamic Jihad doesnt see themself
Jae ,   Lynn US   (12.04.10)
in the trashbin of history. I thinks it arrogant or naive to think an organization that has more members and supporters than there are Jews worldwide is a "nothing". Lao Tzu said you have to know your enemy to defeat them. And you, Yoseeff, as compassionate-maybe overly compassionate like King Saul-do not know your enemy., If you are afraid to fight dont. Go home to your family, have children. But dont get in the way of those who will fight for your existence and the Jewish people's existence.
44. to Ezra
Efrat ,   Haifa, Israel   (12.04.10)
it's easy to say that when you are sitting on your ass somewhere in Florida, huh? Please note that Israel is totally incompetent when it comes to firefighting and any help is more that appreciated,we are very lucky that "our enemies" are offering their help. I think you should stick your prejudice up your ass!
45. #25
v ,   israel   (12.04.10)
so what the f%#*K should palestinians do? die for as a favor to you and zionist great idea? if you'd be born palestinian what would you do? leave? die? come on.... maybe next life you'll be born palestinian Ah ah ah ah
46. Raed #34. Yes from approximately the time of Abraham
Bob ,   World, Globe   (12.04.10)
the Jewish people were living in the land of Israel. As a tribe of people we were living here with Abraham and his hundreds, Isaac and his hundreds and Yaaqove-aka Israel- and his hundreds. When Moses brought us out of the Iron Furnace of Egyot, from slavery and led us into the Promised Land of Israel we were already a large people of several million. When Joshua conquered much of the promise dland we were a soverign state already...and that was over 3300 years ago. Never mind the kingdom of Israel, the Kingdom of Judah, the hasmonean Kingdom, the Mar Kockba soveriegnty. Israel is Re-born and not made. We have been here for 2500 years before Mohammed was even a sperm.
47. #35 Ken in Burma. Please tell us about these famous sites
Jae ,   Lynn US   (12.04.10)
None of us have heard fo them they are so famous, well known, and popular. As far as propaganda, me thinks you have a few liters of it in your tank, no? Only Truth with a capital T, Ken? Let your reason lead your emotion, and not the other way around brosef.
48. @ Bloodyscott
Jake ,   Haifa Israel   (12.04.10)
This is not about blood but about Ideology. A Jew can be of many races, ethiopian black, polish white. When you are around for 4000 years change is what happens. This is not a war over bloodlines. That is stupid. Race is irrelvant, God could care less and we could care less, it does nothing to testify to your character and ideology. It is about the massive return of the Jewish people, (black, brown, white, blood types O A ABetc,..) to their homeland of 4000 years, and the ability of the arabs , a majority of whom came from the surrounding tribal Arab countries for jobs, to either be good with this and stay as loyal citizens, or not. Canaanites as a civilization ended around 3000 years ago. There is no continued culture of them. As the ancient sumerians and ancient hittites are gone from history spread out, assimiliated and vanished so too the canaanites. As for western Jordan, that was the territoy of the Amorite kings who refused to allow Israel to pass threw and who attacked Israel, and whom Moses defeated. That then became the portion for the tribe of Re'uvane, Gaad, and half of the tribe of Men'asheh. The kingdoms of Moab and Ammon were not cannanite; they were the progeny of Abraham's cousin Lot (see Torah section about Abraham and Lot, Sodom and Gemorah)
49. #24; Ken, IN NUMBERS
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (12.04.10)
! out of every 5 people on the planet is Muslim, 20% of the world population. By contrast Jewish people make up 2 out of every 1000 people. So who would be more of a threat? Radicalism by Muslims or Jewish people? Put simply if 10% of Muslims are radical and there is 1.2 billion Muslims in the world, that is 120 million (120,000,000) radicals. There are 16 million Jewish people in the world if that same 10% figure is used that is 1.6 million (1,600,000). The problem is this: First, truly radical Jewish people only make up at most 2-3% of the world Jewish population at most. Secondly, they are openly rejected by mainstream Jewish people. While most people believe radical Muslims make up far more than the 10% figure I used as example, secondly they in fact are supported by the mainstream Muslims, by 65% or more i.e. 73% of Palestinians supported the pizza cafe bombing that killed and targeted a kids hangout as "legitimate resistance". Of course we all remember the dancing in the streets and passing out candy in support and celebration of 9/11 throughout the Muslim world. As we see here in this artcle to quote the Arab leader: ""There is no need to tell you how delighted we are that more than 40 cadets who tortured prisnors

Ken ,   Burma   (12.04.10)
"None of us have heard fo them they are so famous, well known, and popular." You speak for everyone?
51. #35 Ken - If you have a brain
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL/USA   (12.04.10)
which I doubt, start using it I gave you the website, how about refuting it, one step at a time ? Surely, even with your limited capabilites you saw the body and counts and and casualty reports, times and places were quite specific As far as I know, it wasn't Jews that destroyed the WTC, attacked th Pentagon or crashed flight 93 Nor did Jews bomb the subways in England and Spain I can't recall the last time Jews stoned one of their women to death for alleged adultery Or lopped off the hand of a thief, the first time he stole, then the foot after he was caughtt the 2nd time, etc. GFY Burma? Sounds like you have a bad case of jungle rot of what little brain matter you still have
52. Burma ?
Birdi ,   Israel   (12.05.10)
Why give a flying toss what this moron from Burma, of all places,thinks. Ignore him.
53. Nonsense
Ofra ,   Philadelphia   (12.06.10)
They help Arab villages, and by doing so the Israelis can free their equipment to put out other fires. Arab villages are Israeli villages. Their occupants are Israeli citizens, just like the Jews of Israel, and they deserve all the help they get gethelp. Thank you, Palestinian Authority, for your help. I doubt it if Israel would help you in a fire.
54. I agree!
Ofra   (12.06.10)
Thank you, Salma, for avoice of reason. I only hope Israel will reciproicate, if the need ever arises.
55. to 45
Marie ,   FL   (03.01.12)
The Israelis do give them hell...because of Qassam rockets and suicide bombers. Also, just because they are oppressed, why should that make it okay for them to CELIBRATE terrorist attacks and deaths of foreign innocents?! Muslims terrorists should be a SHAME to other Muslims/Arabs, not celebrated heroes.
