If you want to spread rumors at least keep some common sense. you stated that in the last 40 years (that will be since 1972) 130000 Arabs settled Israel. Really? i was born in Galilee in 1971, my father was born in the same town in 1946, his father in 1924, his father in 1891, his father 1839.. his father...All in the same place, and still live there. FYI since 1948 no Arab Re-entered or returned to settle in that land. The 130000 you are talking about are those who did not or refused to leave in 1948 compared to those who did (around 700000 of them). you made my year.

Just read an article: Abdul-Latif Amir Aabid died today (21.12. 2012) aged 117 yrs. He was Palestinian, born in 1895 and lived in Kafr Dan village near Jenin. He was in good health up to his death. Hey, for a non-Israeli, he's had a good innings, don't you agree?
33. To #30 She does look Jewish
Chaim Ben Kahan ,   Efrat, Israel   (12.22.12)
It makes sense since most of so called Palestinians are genetically Jewish, thus reinforcing that the Jews are the indigenous people of Israel.
34. To: No. 22
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.22.12)
1. Your opinion of American Jews is irrelevant. 2. The guy from London wishing me a Happy Christmas knows damned well that I am Jewish. It was insulting. 3. Melissa calls herself Melly Jelly. At least that's her e-mail address on a number of her posts. 4. If someone is not the sharpest knife in the drawer (don't know where you came with "fork in the canteen;" perhaps that speaks to your stupidity) I have every right to point it out. 5. You are in need of medication. Go see a physician. Don't worry about me; I'm married to one.
35. 33 Really? Palestinians genetically ...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (12.22.12)
Jewish? Interesting.Then, no wonder she looks Jewish.What are your sources?
36. @34 if u have everything, y r u so rude & unkind?
(12.22.12)
Does that mean that in all truth you don't have anything?
37. # 31 Walla ?.I am talking about 130,000
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (12.23.12)
(the number may be even higher) Egyptians,Jordanians,palestinians,who married Israeli arabs,(thank God,this importation of terrorists into Israel was stopped,)how many Israeli arabs do you know who married citizens of those countries and settled there ?.i suspect it's zero.
38. JK again
Walla? ,   USA   (12.23.12)
Your still not making sense. Why should Arabs leave their homes and live in Jordan or Egypt or anywhere else? Is it because Israel is better place for them? ( that's your point). People don't leave homes bcs its home. With your logic, Eastern Europeans should leave their countries and go to Western Europe, and Brazilians north to Brooklyn. The bottom line is that most non Arabs in the holly land and you are one of them wish and pray that Arabs leave or die.
39. Arab israeli women
edouard ,   Montreal Canada   (12.23.12)
For me she looks like my great grandmother the died many years ago If good exist then she is with him She was a beautiful old lady that deserv respects from everyone So let's stop all stupid comments and for once let put everything on the side and recognize that we are all a bite her children
40. To: No. 32
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.23.12)
Thank goodness for Kupat Cholim, eh?
41. great id card pic
zionist forever   (12.23.12)
Love the picture on her tudat zahut Looks like fax peering through a hole. I wonder how many ID cards she has gone through in her time?
42. Sarah B. I believe you misunderstood
bernard ross   (12.23.12)
I believe the lady said " you can say it was better before but..." I interpret this as meaning she was disagreeing with that sentiment and especially when she thanked the Israeli govt for everything they did. I think old people tend to be less ideological and more independent in thought..
43. Born in Israel?
Walla? ,   USA   (12.23.12)
It sates in her ID cards place of birth: Israel in 1888. She was 60 yrs old when Israel was born. Shouldn't it state Ottoman Empire or mandate Palestine to be exact?
44. She looks Jewish?
rom ,   israel   (12.23.12)
If she does, then so does Helen Thomas.
45. 35 add.Chaim Her name is Miriam..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (12.23.12)
a Jewish name.
46. To: No. 36
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.23.12)
Your comment is a meaningless tautology.
47. To: Bernard at No. 42
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.23.12)
I interpreted that comment to mean that her life was better before the State of Israel came into being.
48. Ora , her name was MARIAM , not Miriam .
Charles ,   Petach Tikiva   (12.23.12)
How do she looks ? Simply , as a very old woman . I think that many very old women have a very ressembling look . I know a non Jewish woman , from very catholic origin , her name ? Myriam . Look at "science" abroad . Dead sea scrolls .
49. 47 , sarah
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (12.23.12)
Many people say that life was better before than today .
50. To: No. 49
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.23.12)
What was better, Charles? Polio? Cholera? Smallpox? The Holocaust?
51. # 38 Walla.yes,arabs stay in Israel
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (12.23.12)
because it is a better place,millions of muslims left their countries, to live in the land of the infidel,Europe,north America(unfortunately). A great number of east Europeans and south Americans are immigrating to the US if allowed in,how many people immigrate to Egypt,Yemen,Jordan,Iraq ?.muslims from the Sudan risk life and limb,cross muslim Egypt,the sinai,to enter the land of the Jewish infidels,so,the standart of living in Israel and liberties, are way superior to the muslim countries.
52. 48 Charles,some Catholics in our..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (12.23.12)
birth country have maranos ancestors. Thanks for the info.I enjoy the smart way you defend our people. Today is a fast that marks the siege of Jerusalem about 400 years before our era. Despite having been continuously attacked ,Israel is today alive and flourishing. Your contribution to our people by uncovering the lies and revealing the truth in the foreign media is hugely important .Since by combatting antizionism you help to advance peace and prosperity ,in our home land. Charles,Kol hakavod and Shavuah Tov.
53. 44 rom,how can you compare..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (12.23.12)
a loving woman with a hateful one?
54. Ora , 52
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (12.23.12)
Marrano ancestors ? Do you think that all the Myriam's , David's and so on , have Marrano ancestors ? This Myriam i know had uncles "missionaries" in Africa , her father was a volunteer in their parish , so not very much of a Marrano . Ok , we are all descendants of Adam and Hava ....
55. 50 , you go from one extremity to another
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (12.23.12)
You , as a 75 + old woman should know it . There were things better "then" as now .
56. To: No. 55
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.23.12)
First of all, I'm in my forties. You're the old man here, bubbeleh. Secondly -- please do tell us exactly what was better "then." I do realize that you're a toothless and doddering old fool, but try anyway -- what was better in the times of smallpox, cholera, polio and the Holocaust? What? Would you like us to bring back the plague, too? Charles, you need to be checked for dementia. Alzheimer's. You are quite out of your alleged "mind." They can start by testing your diapers.
57. To: No. 54
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.23.12)
Why, Charles. Are you an Arab? Is your whole story about being a Holocaust survivor a pack of lies? Why am I not surprised. Casse toi, pauvre con. Get lost, Arab. No need for you in Medinat Israel. Always knew you were a phony. I just didn't realize how much of a phony you were. I'll bet you've never even SEEN Europe, let alone pretend to live in it. What a disgusting piece of trash you are!
58. 56 sarah , again a lie
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (12.23.12)
You said that you were a successful lawyer for more than 50 years some time ago . Again a big lie today from sarah . And it are old people , your 70+ and over genre who say that it was better then than now , not i .
59. 56 , a successful lawyer for more than 50 years
Charles ,   Petach Tiikva .   (12.23.12)
you told us . So you must be far over the 40's . You mix the the 1940's , after your birth with your age . You would like to be only 40 , but you're not far from twice that age . You're a "alte jente" .
60. To 57
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (12.23.12)
Now you are showing your big age illness . You are rambling . You exceed all human allowed limits of stupidity . Only an alte jente can talk this way . See a good doctor [ your "husband" is not a doctor , another one of your lies ] , maybe it's not too late , but i boubt it .
