1. Misnomer
Choni Davidowitz ,   Israel (and S. Afric   (06.20.06)
Any Jew living outside Israel is commiting a loathsome sin. He lives in a self- imposed exile,when after nearly 2000 years,he has a sovereign land of his own. The word Diaspora should be replaced with exilic cemetery.
2. Message to Palestinian Political Leadership
Don ,   Reading UK   (06.20.06)
Do you realise how much people all over the world want to see a just and fair solution for the long suffering Palestinians. For that you need brave and courageous leadership not afraid to abandon the perpetuation of the dream of the destruction of Israel. You will never be able to make any headway in creating your own state if you persist in promoting your state from the destruction of another. And dont be influenced by outside self interests that have their own agendas and reasons for you perpetuating a permanent state of war with Israel at the expense of the future and destiny of the Palestinian people. Be honest and straight with your people. That to achieve peace and prosperity all parties will need to negotiate, build up trust and break down the walls of hatred. May Allah grant you the wisdom and strength to lead you to peace. The prize is within your grasp. Grab it! Allah is great.
3. #1 what you say is true...
kate ,   e   (06.20.06)
but G-d says he will bring his people back not by might but by the breath of G-d. Exhilic cemetry - at least there is land enough to bury the dead. #2 All-- is an achbar
4. Zionism isnt about the palis..or maybe it is
andrew ,   miami,fl   (06.20.06)
hmmmm have we ever tried to share zionism with the palis or the the other arabs? we are semites - they are semites perhaps its time to look at zionisms main tennets (renewal, return etc) - and ask if we are returning - are the arabs not our greater family? like...the french and english fighting for 1000 years - but both white people - same family - get it
5. if they drop their illusions, they will cease to exist
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (06.20.06)
because the palestinians' reason for living in this world is to drive israel into the sea with complete hatred. if you take that away from them, they will have nothing and will be nothing. otherwise they'd have their own country by now, or at least they'd have built their first hospital.
6. To #1
Andrew ,   Philadelphia, U.S.A.   (06.20.06)
There's a great idea: Let's all of us gather in the same country the size of Delaware. Wouldn't that make it that much easier to do away with us all? The Exile is part of what has kept Judaism alive for 3,000 years and what *keeps* it alive. Screw your head back on straight.
7. #6 Hey dumbass we were in exile for 1900ish years
(06.20.06)
Not 3,000 moron and in those 1900 years we enjoyed such splendors as the crusades, pogroms, the holocaust, and more. Thanks BUT NO THANKS
