61. To #21 That happened during official UN event
AK   (01.15.06)
The map was hanging there behind all the UN dignitaries, including Kofi and the President of the General Assembly during the UN sponsored Palestinian solidarity event. Go to Arutzsheva.com, they may still have the video of the portion of that event in their archive. Apparently the UN keeps more than one map of the area, after all Israel IS a member of the UN, so they hardy can post a map without Israel on their official site, can they?
62. Sorry mohammed...

The Philistines were wiped out, by Alexander the Great. You'll have to pick another identity to steal.
63. To Peter #21 The Map is old
MARK ,   United States   (01.15.06)
The UN needs to provide an updated map. There are no Jews in Gaza. Old maps are meaningless. Can Kofi Anan do anything correct? Anan is a disgrace.

65. United Nations Against Israel ...
Craig Crawford ,   Laguna Niguel USA   (01.15.06)
The Bible warns 'at the time of the end' all nations would turn against one nation ... Israel (Zechariah 14:2...Revelation 16:12-16). All nations against one nation sounds absurd ... it is absurd. An engineer I know was the engineering officer and navigator onboard a submarine in the South Pacific during WWII. As with most others in his generation he knew the Bible well enough to know about the legendary Israel. But to him, and many that came before him, Israel was just that, a land from the past that held no meaning to his future. Israel had not been a sovereign nation since the Babylonian captivity some 2,500 years ago. Many churches simply 'allegorized' those prophecies in the Bible that warned God was not through with the nation or children of Israel. Most would have thought back then that if and when nation Israel did once again appear on the map the world would rejoice in awe and wonderment. If somebody had told him during a patrol through the South Pacific during the WWII that he would not only live to see Israel back on the map as a nation after 2,500 years but he would also see all the nations of the world quickly turning against this legendary (and tiny) nation of Israel (the land and the people God chose to bring forth the promised Messiah), he probably would have told them they were crazy. The thought of all nations turning against one nation is absurd ... not all nations turned against Nazi Germany, not all nations turned against Saddam's Iraq, and not all nations have turned against the murderous regimes of Zimbabwe, Sudan, Russia, China, Cuba, or Iran. Yet, this ancient book, the Bible, which was in mass circulation for many, many years before WWII, stated clearly that God would one day bring Israel back into Her Land as a nation and then all the nations of the world would turn against her and try to wipe her off the map. When the US turned against Israel on Gaza, the first stage of this 'absurd' prophecy was fulfilled ... not one nation on Earth supported Israel's right to her land (in Judah - Gaza). Now, for many, the idea that all the nations of the world will one day go to war against this tiny nation of Israel sounds absurd ... or that one day in the future, this tiny nation of Israel will be the sole 'Superpower' that will rule the world under her King and Messiah, who stepped forth 'from old, from everlasting' and was born of a virgin in Bethlehem, the city of King David, exactly as the ancient prophecies said He would (Micah 5:2).

67. Response to Mohammed, #19
Yotam ,   New York   (01.15.06)
In case ou haven't realized, your math is wrong. Israel was "born" in 1948, not 1947. That messes up your whole "prophetic" omen...
68. Mohammed, listen up
Yotam ,   New York   (01.15.06)
I reread my post and your responses to everyone else's post and I think ou have been reprimanded enough so I won't continue with telling you you're wrong, because I think you get it by now. So I won't waste my time with that crap. What I DO want to tell you is that, I can tell you are a smart person, afterall you are a Palestinian writing posts in English. Please don't waste your life living the way your "brothers" want you to live. Make something of your life. For everone's sake. Who knows? You could be the next leader of Palestine and may lead your people to peace. But please, don't waste your life doing what other people want you to do. Do the right thing. And, putting aside our differences, I truly hope from the bottom of my heart that you will seroiusly consider my advice. Don't throw away your life like this.

You and I and lots of others know the truth. Only our enemies - and they are EVERYWHERE - deny history. The deny our right to our land, they deny the Holocaust, the deny our very right to live. But we will continue, as we always have. Much to their chagrin.

Actually, Monaco and Lichtenstein are smaller.
71. #53
Jane   (01.15.06)
That shows that, even in death, the home of the Jews is in Palestine, the name given by the Romans to the Jewish homeland.
72. To #55
(01.15.06)
Falastin have been used in old Arab literature. It is not something new to the previous century.
73. To 54
(01.15.06)
"And we move the war in the heart of your castles" And also into kindergatens "Ruled by a smart people who are ruling the world from the white house." Take some pills your delusions are beyond what a normal being is capable of. "The cannot rule Gaza. The samallest area ever to be ruled. " Thats actually quite incorrect. Territories such as monaco are much smaller. But it's amazing that you admit that you cannot control an area the size of my back yard. In the end failureis inevitable for you and all the arabs. Literally you are the only group of people running straight to the past, and doing so with a smile on your face. I can't wait for oil alternatives to really start rolling out. When that happens, kiss your dreams goodbye, and be welcome to new nightmares.
74. Mr. Digital Heretic
(01.15.06)
your stories reminded me with Harry Potter and Lord of the ring stories ... and so what now ... what you want to tell us ... you forgot to tell us when in the history there was a land called Israel ... and nothing to do with Beni Israel .... thanks in advance
75. #60 did your mother not teach you.....
Noam ,   Israel   (01.15.06)
that one bad mistake does not make another bad mistake ok? Stop with the this is worse and that is worse. The UN is enabled by the US who pays one quarter of it's dues. If the US thought the UN so bad already they would have left. Furthermore, if the UN were so bad in the eyes of the US they would NOT be part of the US LED ROAD-MAP TO HELL. Got it!! Along with Putin who is selling missles and building the nukes for Iran. So let's just stop right here. Pat Robertson deserved an ass chewing no matter if you like it or not. Just like all our other enemies to one extent or another. One may be worse but this does not make the other better. Understand? As for where is the left? Sitting in the oval office competing for first place with the idiot Jimmy Carter, that is where. Read transcripts of Carter's stance on Israel and compare them to Bush. You might be shocked that is if you dare to open your eyes. Where is the left? American Jewish left? Funding hospitals, (Haddasah for one. Haddasah is for the most part a leftist Jewish Womans organization) clinics, buying ambulances, MRI's taking care of sick and displaced children of Israel. I hate to tell you, Bush the leftie who everyone thinks is on the right and a friend of Israel has chopped Israel below the knees. Thus causing great poverty and lack of services in this country. He and his henchman on the quartet along with his body double, Condi Rice whle extolling and lying for the Palestinains (to garner favor for himself in the Arab, European world) has caused great problems in this country. Hate to tell you but the right in some respects are looking more and more like the left you so like to hate. LOL! Go run to a mirror and see for yourself. If you would like you can ask Bush why he chopped the embassy act three times and why he refuses to call JERUSALEM THE UNDIVIDED CAPITAL of ISRAEL? Now run along and do something useful. Stop diflecting blame. G-d only knows there is enough to go around on both sides.
76. #74...Your answer
Digital Heretic   (01.15.06)
This is because the land called "Israel" was never in dispute...unless you're a third world facist dictator. Denying history or inventing it, such as the militant arabs do, does not change the facts. Truth is truth. There is no gray area. Oh, and "Arvada Kadavra to the enemies of Israel" -Harry Potter
77. To those quiping that 'palestine' existed for years before
(01.15.06)
Let me ask you a series of questions: 1. When was the state of "palestine" created? If it was destroyed when Israel came about it means, that it had a date when it was created. 2. What was the currency of said state? What was it's exchange rate with the US dollar, the British pound, or other major currencies, at past point in history? Such as in the 1920's or 1880's if the state had already been in existence? Also a further question, why is this currency not in use? Why are you still using the hated Israeli's and there shekels? 3. What seperates 'palestinians' culturally from other arabs? What makes a person say that this person is saudi and this is a palestinian? 4. Please name the first leader of the state of 'palestine', and a few subsequent leaders till the mufti of Jerusalem? 5. What was the economy of the said state based on? 6. What was the official language of the state?
78. to # 16
Palestinian   (01.15.06)
you can't talk about terror, you are the terror itself. PALESTIN always in our hearts and on the ground from thousands of years, while we just hear about something called israel from 1949
79. Palestinian. Go and educate yourself
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (01.15.06)
I suggest you stop being brainwashed by your failed system, that only spreads lies to YOU. wake up and study reality of history if you believe you can continue to stick to a lie, believing one day it will become truth........ you have one coming at you mate. Your leaders and yourself cannot change history, but accept facts. The facts have been posted more than once here, but you may have a problem reading. If you believe your lies will make an impact in world history and opinion.. keep on dreaming, but best wake up READ postings: 40..
80. To # 73 & everyone here (world without oil)
Mohammad ,   Gaza   (01.15.06)
Post #73 writes: " can't wait for oil alternatives to really start rolling out. When that happens, kiss your dreams goodbye, and be welcome to new nightmares" If oil wells dried that will be your worst nightmare because there will be no F-16 or Mirkava tank to hide behind. LOL May GOD listen to your prayers and dry it up now.
81. Gaza Boy cannot think beyond his limits
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (01.15.06)
I guess Gaza doesn't teach alternatives as we know that exist already.... for OIL has been already substituted ..... but Gaza is still living behind technology
82. Proud to be from Gaza Gabiya #81
Mohammad ,   Gaza   (01.15.06)
The ancient state of Israel conquer the whole holy land except Gaza strip. Then the country falls apart. Israel doesnot learn anything from history.
83. To 80
(01.15.06)
Your reading comprehension needs work. I wrote " CAN'T WAIT FOR OIL ALTERNATIVES to really start rolling out. When that happens, kiss your dreams goodbye, and be welcome to new nightmares" So instead of F-16's and Merkava's using oil to run, they'll use some other fuel source. Sorry to burst your bubble. Anyways, I prefer to hide behind my merkava, better than how you hide behind children to shoot a gun LOL.
84. Gaza Boy worry about your Chaos in Gaza
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (01.15.06)
Israel can take of the rest, and if you don't take care of your vile terrorists, believe me........... Israel will take care of that one tooo since it is obvious you are not even capable to run yourselves....... You are lucky ........ the iDF has not used all those years their entire force to really fight terrorism. You are lucky they have restrained and not used the Daisy-cutters otherwise Gaza would be parking lots - drive in's and McDo's........ you would be watching the radies grow from below
85. Gaza Boy: it must be so difficult for you backwards
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (01.15.06)
to keep up with all information, as well as techincal news via Israeli/ Western wolrd websites....... since your corrupted leaders/Arab countries don't inform you of world facts and inventions. must be terrible to be so backwards.........
