Do they have IKEA in Islamic countries in other parts of the world? I would be interested to see how they take all the "western" and "un-islamic" elements out of the store to appease them.
2. Great idea: this will make packing& moving to Jordan so much

easier on Arabs living in Yehuda ve Shomron. When we arrived (30 years ago) in Israel we brought quite few Ikea items that serve us until this day.

Tom, the Arabs living in the West Bank or Yehuda and Shomron as u refer to it, have a more solid claim on the land then you do. Maybe it will be easier for you to pack up your things and move to Jordan

5. to #3: a brief history lesson
tom klein ,   toronto, canada   (07.21.13)
just for the record, when the british created the "arab homeland in palestine", in 1923, it included all the land EAST of the jordan river (78% of the land of the mandate). they called it the hashemite kingdom of transjordan. and they forbade jews to live there. the arab claim to judea and samaria, is based purely on conquest, in 1948. the area was conquered from israel, and there is no legal basis for it being arab, any more than any land within the green line. it was never recognized as belonging to jordan, nor did it claim independence even once while under jordanian occupation. israel's claim goes back 3,000 years, to what is, and has always been, the heartland of eretz yisrael.
6. FACTS

Tom, 1. This is new millennium. Your "3000 years" is not relevant anymore. 2. Almost the entire world populations agree that the occupation is illegal.
7. #6 No facts in your post
Benji ,   US   (07.22.13)
8. Ikea
