Falkland Islanders and Northern Irlanders are legally British citizens. You are blinded by your own racism if you cant see that you are doing wrong by occupying Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem, and using the land for your own people, without giving the occupied people the citizenship of the occupier or any other civil rights. That is a crime and the worst kind of modern colonialism.

No one is responding to you because of the gob smacking ignorance and false , corrupted history of your TB.

Nearly one million Jews were forced out of Arab countries in the years after Israel's founding. They lost everything. Why does the world never discuss this?? Why does it never come up in any global conferences? It's the same double standard.

Arabs, in their hysterical attempts to eliminate Israel, have consistently used lies to undermine Israel - racist, apartheid, harvest organs of dead children, poisoned Arafat, whatever calumny is at hand (and many of them ancient). Unfortunately a sizable portion of the world believes them. However, these constant attacks have only served to make Israel stronger, more nimble, more able to defend herself and have enriched our creativity. Better bullies on the block to keep you lean and mean than fat, dumb and happy like Europe. Bring it on fellas, you are only making us better!

Would you prefer Israel to allow the 5+ milliong so-called "refugees" to flood the country so Jews would then become a minority and live under Arab Muslim rule? America is a huge strong country with oceans on either side which protects them. Israel is no bigger than New Jersey, and is surrounded with hostile neighbors who out number them and are committed to its destruction, because they [Muslims] believe they have a right to eliminate the Jews. So you are right in one sense America IS different than Israel. However your lack of understanding why Israel is different, and needs to be, is nothing less than extraordinary.

First of all please use capital letters for Jews , Arabs ,etc. That would give you some schooling bonus. I lived in Sweden for 15 years and I know there is not much respect for others except the self-goodness and self-importance of the " smartest and most correct " country in Europe. How come Sweden got so many problems in the last years with the certain groups of immigrants ? Can't they join the Swedish society and the rest of it ? Tell us what is the bother ?

Hello. Allow me to state some points. First of all, when you want to value the Israeli arabs lives within Israel, compare them to those of the Israeli jews and not to other citizens within other countries. Moreover, when you talk about democracy and way of living , it's not Necessarily about the right to vote or speak loudly, but about feeling as an equal part in the state, getting the feeling of being relevance and etc.. For example, Im a loyal citizen who loves my state, served in the army , and Im a nice guy indeed, and yet the state and the people within it , give me the feeling (and show it actually) of being different and unequal. Finally, I have to also be fair enough and say that the standard of living in Israel is high relatively and the Israeli people are compassionate. Roni.

Where were you when Jordan occupied those territories as a result o f negation of an UN resolution , when Jordan annexed those territories ? We never heard any protests then from you , or from "people" of your kind . We occupy Judea Samaria as a result of a defensive war . We begged then king Hussein not to attack us , he did it , and lost . We proposed to give 98 % of this "occupied" territory to arafat , his answer was an intifada , with hundreds of victims . Those arabs in the "occupied" territories can vote in elections for their authority . They were , or even still are , Jordanian citizens . Those in Jerusalem can vote for the Israeli parlement , if they want . When a country attacks , and loses , they have to pay a price , territory . It happened in EU after WWII , when germany had to cede Dantzig , receide Eupen Malmedy , the Elzas .

"and using the land for your own people, without giving the occupied people the citizenship of the occupier or any other civil rights. That is a crime and the worst kind of modern colonialism. " According to what law? I bet you cannot name one at all. By the way - how do you get around real international laws that state that it is our land? Ignore those? Or that the Arabs are citizens of Jordan? Or that they do vote for their own government? In short everything you wrote is a lie.

In just one year, in Morroco, they killed 10,000 Jews. Read Joan Peters book about this. Throughout there rule, muslims have killed many more thousands of Jews on a regular basis, leading the say millions were killed by these lovely muslims that Gennaro seems to want to defend.

that you are unequal?

I guess from your name that you are Christian, probably catholic Italian. Your comments mirror the ingrained catholic reluctance to accept the existence of a Jewish state, even though Israel is the only state in the middle east where all faiths are free. The catholic church does nothing to help its believers in different muslim countries where they are being persecuted. So instead of going after Israël where Jews, Muslims and Christians are happy to live, better you try helping your brothers in Egypt, Syria, Sudan, Irak, Iran.

if signed . Now NOT at all , the same as anonymous "people"

it's listed as a religion albeit a deadly one.

Judea, Samaria and all of Israel belong to Israel period, end of discussion. The only crime here is the terroristic pals lying to rid Israel of her Jews. AInt gonna happen jackass. If the pals are smart, they'll leave Israel immediately. If not, they get what they deserve.

No disrespect to you or your article. I am just recalling what I am seeing and it definately makes me appreciate the freedom and rights Americans have and its not based on your race or religion. There definately IS racism in America however the people have rights and support of their city and government (something we call the Constitution) to protect its people no matter who they are. Also I dont think ur article is titled Arab refugees. I thought it was about racism. I will have to say The Arabs that i see are definately happy and enjoy their life more than any other i have ever seen. They are living prosperous and have become tolerant amongst all the crazy mess of this tiny country. You would think that a country the size of New Jersey could get their act together.

How are the native Sami doing in Finland, Harri? Or Norway and Sweden, for that matter. Shouldn't you clean YOUR house before you worry about mine? The Sami are an oppressed minority, longing to breathe free. Worry about them -- that's YOUR bailiwick. Oppression of the Sami is a crime and the worst kind of modern colonialism, don't you think? The Sami people certainly think precisely that.

Sami have the citizenship and more civil rights than other citizens in every northern country. They get more money for schools and etc. than other citizens and they have special rights for their traditional professions. I'm sure that if you give Palestinians the same rights that Samis have in Norway, Sweden or Finland, Palestinians will be very satisfied.
