31. *24 Mohammad do you and yours smoke crack or what?
Mo ,   Dearborn Michigan   (01.14.06)
Wait I take that back. Even people who smoke crack make more sense then your rantings and lies. Who in the Hell poisoned your mind even further that Sedrot is North Gaza? You are so full of it right up to what there is of your brainwashed brain. You are mean spirited as any human (sub human that is) can be.
32. Go away....
Daavid ,   USA   (01.14.06)
To all the savages who hate Israel and the Jewish people. Go away stay away and read Aljazeera instead where you are welcomed. In this site nobody likes you and nobody gives a damn on what you have to say. JUST GO AWAY....

40. Hassan keep on dreaming
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (01.14.06)
You have not yet understood who YOU Arab Palis are....... WHAT DOES "PALESTINE" MEAN? It has never been the name of a nation or state. It is a geographical term, used to designate the region at those times in history when there is no nation or state there. The word itself derives from "Peleshet", a name that appears frequently in the Bible and has come into English as "Philistine". The Philistines were mediterranean people originating from Asia Minor and Greek localities. They reached the southern coast of Israel in several waves. One group arrived in the pre-patriarchal period and settled south of Beersheba in Gerar where they came into conflict with Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael. Another group, coming from Crete after being repulsed from an attempted invasion of Egypt by Rameses III in 1194 BCE, seized the southern coastal area, where they founded five settlements (Gaza, Ascalon, Ashdod, Ekron and Gat). In the Persian and Greek periods, foreign settlers - chiefly from the Mediterranean islands - overran the Philistine districts. From the time of Herodotus, Greeks called the eastern coast of the Mediterranean "Syria Palaestina". The Philistines were not Arabs nor even Semites, they were most closely related to the Greeks. They did not speak Arabic. They had no connection, ethnic, linguistic or historical with Arabia or Arabs. The name "Falastin" that Arabs today use for "Palestine" is not an Arabic name. It is the Arab pronunciation of the Greco-Roman "Palastina"; which is derived from the Plesheth, (root palash) was a general term meaning rolling or migratory. This referred to the Philistine's invasion and conquest of the coast from the sea. The use of the term "Palestinian" for an Arab ethnic group is a modern political creation which has no basis in fact - and had never had any international or academic credibility before 1967.
41. history
Fares ,   USA   (01.14.06)
only the israelis are experts in history .. they found few hebrew sripts in tinbactoo...you need to hire few historians and make a claim for that idiots .
42. #36
Jane   (01.14.06)
Oh, yes, Hassan. That's why the land was largely barren before the Jews reclaimed it. And it was very, very bloody. And if you're talking about "if Jews didn't come", how can you then say it would be full of "three religion people"? You are talking out of both sides of your mouth. Your Holy Land is Mecca and Medina. Stop talking. You look stupid.
43. to 25
(01.14.06)
Two things 1. Why don't you actually try to respond to what I wrote, instead of just showing that your a terrorists. 2. I'm close to sderot, by big cannon, so I maybe I'll also send you some fireworks LOL. Or better yet call my cousin he flies a blackhawk. And yea, the army is tracking your position. So sleep tight ; )
44. Jordan is Palestine
David Landman ,   Natick, USA   (01.14.06)
The fact that the Arab world lives in a made up world with a made up history shows there will never be a second Arab Palestinian state, and the way things are going, there will no longer be an Arab world in the next century because they are leading to slow destruction. Thats why they are moving to Eurabia.
45. to 39
(01.14.06)
yet again, I always here these threats, Israel vs. the muslim world. But in the end day this threat is empty for two reasons. 1. There isn't any cohesion, just because you share a religion doesn't mean squat. The Iran-Iraq war, the Yemen civil war, the Libyan-Egyptian war of 1977, the Egyptian sudanese war of 1900, the fighting between the turks and the kurds, the issues that saudi arabia has with yemen and many more. So how the hell will it be Israel vs. the muslim world, when half the time the mulsim world is at war with itself. 2. It's not exactly like the muslim world can just start focusing on Israel. Sure you might get Israel, but then you lose Chechneya, Kashmir, south east asia, Iraq, Iran (to a secular coup), the Kosovo, southern Thailand, and many more. In conclusion the muslim world is FAR to busy with other fights and fighting itself. So in the end of the day it is what it is today. Israel vs. the arabs. And I certainly do like those odds.
46. Israel nbot on the map
Hilda ,   US   (01.14.06)
Bolton is a nice man and he means very well but in the end he will be forced to do NOTHING . it is an open secret that the US state department is very sorry that Israel was ever reborn and that is why Condi Rice is pushing so hard for a contiguous Palestinian State. The UN for all its moaning about anti semitism proves more by its lack of action against antisemitic acts in various parts of the world that at the very least it doesn't care what happens to the Jews. and at the very most would like them to disappear from the earth. This is why they will do very little to disuade Hamas or Hizbollah or even Iran.
47. the funy thing
(01.14.06)
why the American embassador complaind and not the Israelian embassador ?
48. The real "Palestine"
Daniel ,   Denmark   (01.14.06)
It takes Arab-Muslim Chutzpah to first occupy and steal Israel and then accuse the rightful owners- the Jewish people of being "occupiers". "Palestine" has no Arab connection and was firmly established by the Roman emperor Hadrian as a false substitute name for Israel/Judea who wanted to destroy all traces of the Jewish people in Israel. Learn som basic history and add the letter "P" to the Arab language before you babble lies about the fantasyland "Arab Palestine".
49. The US still funds the UN and the UN is
(01.14.06)
part of the quartet roadmap to a terror state. TALK IS CHEAP. I am tired of talk. I want action. However like always there will be no action, only talk and more talk.
50. Daniel in Denmark
(01.14.06)
In arabic we say philistine, it is the english name Palestine. We do not need to add a P to arabic

54. The real score is 3:1 for Israel #22
Mohammad ,   Gaza   (01.14.06)
Lets forget the old wars between the Arabs & Israel. We had nothing to do with it. Talk to me from the second Intefada. The score is 3:1 for Israel. Do not you think that we improve alt? And we move the war in the heart of your castles.
55. #jane #51 You are correct
Digital Heretic   (01.14.06)
"There is no such thing as a Palestinian Arab nation . . . Palestine is a name the Romans gave to Eretz Yisrael with the express purpose of infuriating the Jews . . . . Why should we use the spiteful name meant to humiliate us? " “The British chose to call the land they mandated Palestine, and the Arabs picked it up as their nation's supposed ancient name, though they couldn'teven pronounce it correctly and turned it into Falastin a fictional entity." ---- Golda Meir quoted by Sarah Honig, Jerusalem Post, 25 November 1995
56. OK I admit Israel is Great & Palestine is NOT
Mohammad ,   Gaza   (01.14.06)

57. What does "Palestine" Mean?
Digital Heretic   (01.14.06)
It has never been the name of a nation or state. It is a geographical term, used to designate the region at those times in history when there is no nation or state there. The word itself derives from "Peleshet", a name that appears frequently in the Bible and has come into English as "Philistine". The name began to be used in the Thirteenth Century BC, for a wave of migrant "Sea Peoples" who came from the area of the Aegean Sea and the Greek Islands and settled on the southern coast of the land of Canaan. There they established five independent city-states (including Gaza) on a narrow strip of land known as Philistia. The Greeks and Romans called it "Palastina".
58. Gaza Boy go and play in the No-Go Zone
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (01.15.06)
The iDF will meet you with fireworks to make your day ...... or get lost in A Gaza trafic jam .... with Hamas chasing your boots. your brain is sooo limited that you don't even impress other Arab countries, who all of them will not allow you to immigrate to their land you were thrown out of each single one Now what does that tell you ...... Gaza-Boy even your own Arab cousins don't want you
59. Pres. Gloria Arroyo
JAne ,   Philippines   (01.15.06)
PGA is small and corrupt
60. It sure took the Israeli press awile to report this.
AK   (01.15.06)
Sure, the reports of Pat Robertson's statements in regard to Sharon took precedence. Actually Arutz Sheva reported it on their internet site, even had a little video of the event. All present, including the Assembly President and Kofi Anan, were quite enthusiastic and supporting of the Palestinians. Sitting right in front on that infamous map. So, where are all those Israeli friends, protesting, especially those on the Left?
