6. To number 4
ramallah   (05.10.05)
The survivors of the holocaust are committing another holocaust, as you said we would be judged accordingly, start asking for forgiveness from the almighty one, or maybe it is too late for the fake Jews. True Jews have no problems only the aggressor and occupiers and murderers have the problem
7. Happy Independence Day

Happy Independence Day to all Israelis around the world, hoping peace will dominate & love replaces hatred. Let us pray of the day when both Israelis & Palestenians will stand by each other congratulating their Independence Days. God bless ME & Israel.
8. Israel
Dijkstra ,   Bolsward, Netherland   (05.10.05)
1 The Lord said: Ezekiel, son of man, tell the mountains of Israel 2 that I, the Lord God, am saying: Your enemies sneered and said that you mountains belonged to them. 3 They ruined and crushed you from every side, and foreign nations captured and made fun of you. 4 So all you mountains and hills, streams and valleys, listen to what I will do. Your towns may now lie in ruins, and nations may laugh and insult you. 5 But in my fierce anger, I will turn against those nations, and especially the Edomites, because they laughed at you the loudest and took over your pasturelands. 6 You have suffered long enough, and, I, the Lord God, am very angry! Nations have insulted you, 7 so I will now insult and disgrace them. That is my solemn promise. 8 Trees will grow on you mountains of Israel and produce fruit for my people, because they will soon come home. 9 I will take care of you by plowing your soil and planting crops on your fertile slopes. 10 The people of Israel will return and rebuild your ruined towns and live in them. 11 Children will be born, and animals will give birth to their young. You will no longer be deserted as you are now, but you will be covered with people and treated better than ever. Then you will know that I am the Lord. 12 I will bring my people Israel home, and they will live on you mountains, because you belong to them, and your fertile slopes will never again let them starve. 13 It's true that you have been accused of not producing enough food and of letting your people starve. 14-15 But I, the Lord, promise that you won't hear other nations laugh and sneer at you ever again. From now on, you will always produce plenty of food for your people. I, the Lord God, have spoken.

10. The Truth
Free Palestinian ,   Nablus-Palestine   (05.10.05)
The population of Palestinians living in Israel, the Occupied Gaza Strip, Occupied East Jerusalem and rest of the Occupied West Bank combined now exceeds the number of Israeli Jews, a U.S. government report has revealed. The Palestinian population stands at over 5.3 million while the Jewish population stands at 5.2 million. The figures come from the U.S. State Department's annual Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2004. The report provided population figures for each of these territorial units separately but failed to connect all the dots to arrive at the explosive new demographic reality that an Israeli Jewish minority now rules over a larger number of Palestinians living between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. The section on Israel and the Occupied Territories states that the population of Israel stands at 6.8 million, of whom 5.2 million are Jews, 1.3 million Arabs and another 290,000 are other minorities. The Arabs who are citizens of Israel are Palestinians who are survivors and descendants of those Palestinians who were not forced out of the country or fled when Israel was created.

Andy   (05.11.05)
Perhaps you to could ask Ramallah (see number 6) what happened to his "Palestinian holocaust" in view of the fact that the Palestinian population is thriving and is now larger than ever before in history? Clearly the formation of Israel was the best thing that ever happened to the Palestinians.
12. to number 11
ramallah ,   ramallah   (05.11.05)
We hope to multiply and multiply, because a day will come and we need every body to build the state of Palestine.
13. you must all know 1 thing v.important
abu arab from jerusa ,   you must all know 1   (05.11.05)
Israel had brought to the people of palestine lots of things they must appreciate, without them arabs are still living in an underdeveloped and barbarian place!! Israel has brought tecnology, education, built roads and tunnels, towers and trade centers arabs and moslims would never do this!! they live in darkness!! !!! !! on the other hand jews are descriminating people they hate everyone except jews !!! even they hate christians who had never done them any harm but on the contrary!! so at the end one will coclude that muslims & arabs= ignorance and stupidity Jews = education descrimination and more descrimination isnt it strange folk
14. Population of Israel
les ,   USA   (05.11.05)
While the article discusses the new Israelis, it fails to mention how many have left. What's the story on that issue?
15. #13
Howard ,   Rochester, USA   (05.11.05)
I'm a Jew, and I don't hate Christians. In fact, I don't know any Jews of my generation who do. However, to say that the Christians have never done the Jews any harm is the equivalent of denying the existance of the moon. Abu Arab, obviously an internet user, should "google" the following: Crusades, Spanish Inquisition, Pogroms, Holocaust, Catholic church/Jews and Martin Luther/Jews. That, of course, is just a start, and a partial explaination of why Pope John Paul apologized to the Jews for his church's historical treatment of us.
16. no 15
Anne ,   New Zealand   (05.12.05)
Well said Howard they make me laugh .Jerusa slaps us on the back..then on the face oy vey!! Maybe he should read a bit of history ! Israel has many religions living there...more than we can say for the arab countries how many Jews in saudi arabi etc??
17. this is not true
abu arab jarab ,   to 16 and 15 and all   (05.12.05)
John paul apologized for the history of the church... this is true because of it being with political influence at old times especially in the french revolution period .... you must know that jews killed juses christ the innocent man who only tried to help them... i didnt hear anyone of you apologize !!! and why ask me how many jews in suadi arabia!!! ok the same how many christians there are in suadi arabia.... it is even forbidden to build any kind of temple except for mosques not for christians not for jews not for anyone except moslems.... but i will ask u how many jews there is in europ!! in the US!! everywhere ....around you ... u will find christians with great hearts!!! you must see christian institutions are playing a great role in israel for taking care of handicapped, old aged, children without families and .,,,,,,
18. to 15 + 16
abu arab ,   israel   (05.12.05)
you maybe right at least we apologized but you didnt??? can you deny the fact that jews in israel are living on the basis of descrimination and that a religious country ant be democratic... i need someone to confess
19. Abu arab
Jew ,   Negev   (05.12.05)
Yes Abu, you have my confession. We are not treating the non-Jews in our country with enough consideration. We should improve on this. I think we will.
20. strange isnt so !!!
abu arab ,   israel   (05.13.05)
thanx man i really appreciate it !! i hope that serious work is done .... for you and for me to live like brotheres .... dont need anything more... may jesus bless you :)
21. Palestine is one country
Rose ,   Palestine   (05.13.05)
We were living in peace before Israel was established by Hertzel. Jew, Christians and Muslims.....we could continue living in peace if the greedness of the Israeli will stope one day. I visited several places in Europe and i saw many of the maps and historical materials that shows the name of PAlestine on it, without any mention to Israel......so i beleive you the ones who did not learn how to live in peace with a peacefull nation like the Palestinians. Abu Arab.....all the culture and the education and the civilisation you talked about in your email, is based on the thories and the books of the greatest arab thinkers and scientests....if we live in darkness now, it's your turn to make the sun shine on us again since you are part of the Arab nation....don't just set here and talk. Please all grow up....open your heart to let the sun shine the darkness of hate you have in your hearts and let's try to live a better life, if not for us, then for our children and grandchildren. Peace!
22. LOLseems that arabs are jealous of Israel's achievements? =)
LOOK HERE ,   france   (06.25.05)
i appreciate when i see racist arabs like "ramallah"...! why? because they are all disappointed to see that Israel is a modern and developped country and the best of all is that everyone in israel is respected and can have its own judgement about anything! that's democracy (the worst of all systems)!!! but palestinians are cursed for generations and they will always be cursed and never enjoy democracy and prosperity like israel because: most israelis are talking about love , love of their country but most palestinians are just talking about hatred,murder and destruction. THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE between you and us WE ARE BUILDING ,BUT YOU, JUST WANT TO DESTROY EVERYTHING that's the palestinian nature (they had already devasted this beautiful land when jews were expelled by romans, and nowadays they are keepingtheir horrible task of destructions !! palestinians don't take lessons from the past..) think about it ramallah and read seriously history and read carefully the bible and the decsription of the holy land or even hear about excavations that clearly points out that it was not a desert in the past!!
