If at the age of 20 you aren't a liberal, you haven't got a conscience. If at the the age of 40 you aren't a conservative, you haven't got a brain. I just hope you are still 20.

Answers to # 19. and also to # 6: Ben-Gurion made it VERY CLEAR that every Arab and Muslim is recommended and welcomed to stay in Israel....and the following massacres where a great example of encouragement: The massacre of Baldat al-Shaikh - 31.01.1947 The massacre of Deir Yasin - 09.04.1948 The massacre of Qibya - 14.10.1953 The massacre of Kufr Qasim - 29.10.1956 Would you have stayed as Palestinian?...Continuations and encouragements follows: The massacre of Sabra and Shatila Camps - 16.09.1982 The massacre of Al-Aqsa Mosque - 08.10.1990 The massacre of Ebrahimi Mosque - 25.02.1994 The massacre of Qana - 18.04.1996 http://www.palestinehistory.com/massacre.htm#intro Answer to # 19: History tells that Jews were welcome in Palestine because Palestinians being a Moslem and Christian majority believe that we are all humans, sons and daughters of Adam and Eve, of Ibrahim....We Palestinians are united in religion; it's our mentality. Stop the hatred, bias and ignorance. Live and let live. Think universal. God help the children, the mothers, the men, the human race....afterall, we all feel, we all bleed...

Mant Palestinians evacuated in 1948 - this is TRUE. BUT they were not kicked out as they would have you believe. Think of it this way - You are Palestinian, living within the current Israeli borders. Year - 1948. Surrounding arab neighbors are about to attack in an attempt to anhialate the jews. Surrounding jews know that you are not going to fight against your arab brethren so you are scared that they might attack you. You are scared that if you don't fight WITH the arab attackers, you will also be attacked by them. Some of their leaders have even advised you to evacuate. So you do. Is this situation even remotely close to "being kicked out" like the Gestapo kicked US out. ...? I think not. Any attempt to make it look like that is pure propaganda or in plain english - BULLSHIT.

The war of 1948 was... a war which means it entailed crimes and fears. The arabs left, some because they were afraid - the irgun shot with mortars on Jaffa, the Deir Yassin massacre terified civilians - some because they were expelled (tens of thousands from lod, form the northern galilee). Nobody knows the proportion but everybody knows they were not allowed to come back and their villages razed.

here look i'm doing it too. I am really: Mehemet Ali Tirana, Albania(Shqiperia) or maybe i'll be Nelle Tocsserp a British Israel lover with a sense of morality unlike Daniel who legitimizes murder against Jews.

THE ORIGINAL NAME OF JERUSALEM IS YABUS. The city was founded 5000 years ago by the Yabus people. The ancient Israel occupied Jerusalem, taking it from its legal and historical beholders, an act replicated by the state of Israel in 1967. .

do you guys want peace? no, i forgot - you want LAND. well as long as you arab brothers continue to treat palestinians like trash in slums with no human rights, of course they demand to return. too bad that will never happen. anyway, i kind of like it here. the government has been helpful, nice, and respectful. and the jewish people are wonderful. i'm no zionist but i will defend israel in any way i possibly can against islamo-terrorists who hide behind the skirts of women and children in order to kill israeli women and and children. any day.

The entire reason why there is not peace in the middle east today is because people like you believe in such fantasies. Arafat was offered more than Israel will ever give up, he was even offered Abu Gosh, suburbs of Yerushalayim. But he thought that he could hold out for more. Israel is here to stay. The most powerful nation on the planet will make sure of it. Once the Palestinians accept the reality of that fact and forgo the right of return then there can be peace in the region and only then. But remember Israel will never go away and there will be no right of return aka demographic suicide. The US won't allow for another holocaust.

Jordanian parlamentary representation is represented by the "Palestinian" Arabs 76%. By the way why I am puting "Palestinian" under quotation mark is simple.. Even PLO representatives until 1973 allways indentified as Arabs and not "Palestinians" only in the 1972 they figured out that label "Palestinian" could be profitable "PR" tool for the Arab word. So 76% representatives in Jordanian parlament are ethnic Arabs which indentify themself as "Palestinians". Jordan has slightly over 70% Arabs which indentify themselves as "Palestinians". Over 90% Lokac Israeli Arabs hold Jordanian pasports,, so what is the Isue? PLO Chairman Yaser Arabfart was Egyptian, born in Ciro Egypt and recruted by the Egyptian Military Inteligence to wage a war of TERROR against the Israeli CIVILIANS.. So how this fiction of "PAlestinian" BEZERKISTAN to be carved from the land of ISRAEL is just a malignant fiction perpetrated by the DEDICATED enemies of the Jewish people. Fiction become "reality" if repeated so many times by the BBC, CNN and lately from the academia as well. Israel is loosing PR Warfare that is effectively waged against the Israel in the last 3 decades. Watch this.. It took CIA in 1953’s 1million Dollars to overthrow Iranian Prime Minister Mohamed Mossadeqh, Chilean president Salvador Allende ovethrow was financed with 800,000 starting 1970 to 10 millions trough 1972 as a “military aid” just before the coup d'état. So global management is getting more expensive.. eh? Yugoslavia was converted into terminal fiction in a decade for meager 10 billion US Dollars, 5 billion Dollars to the Ruder Finn and alike and 5 billion Dollars for the CIA sponsored uprising in Belgrade recently admitted by the US Ambassador (at that time in Belgrade and recently in Ukraine.. using the same technique I am pretty sure of that) Mr. Milosh. Is just a progenitor of the newer form of economical-psychological warfare. It takes a “just” few Dollars for the spin “doctors” to mobilize resources (trough management of the public opinion) Like NATO, US Armed Forces etc. It takes just a “few” Dollars to mobilize academia to do the same.. as Nazis did trough Munich pubs.. to galvanize mob into a steady increase of mundane HYSTERIA and the hate directed on the particularly targeted villain real or “VIRTUAL”.. Dollar can fix everything. Rome operated under one simple modus operandi “EVERY MAN HAS ITS PRICE”… so does the nation?

You'll get back your virtual villages and your virtual land and build a virtual state (because you cant produce anything on yourselves) and that's where you'll stay, dreaming, alf layla wa layla...

After WW2 three million ethnic germans were expelled from Czechoslovakia, it didnt even happen as part of the war like what happened to the Palestinians, it was a state organized expulsion some time after the war, did anybody shed crocodile tears over it? Did the Germans blew up in Czechoslovakia demanding to return? And lastly, this happened in 1946, only two years before the war of independence, so how come the 3 million German refugees were all absorved into Germany, a country who speaks their language, with a culture similiar to their's, and today there are no German refugees left in Germany, yet the 22 Arab states in the middle east did not manage to absorve four times less that amount of refugees, even though they speak the same language, eat the same food, enjoy the same culture and hate the same Jews, even more, from 700,000 refugees there are today 4.5 million, how is this possible?! Can a person be a refugee even though he was born to a third generation in a country? I am baffled, some one help me understand this extraordinary phenomenon.

If the U.S. is to stand we must always stand with Israel. God gave the Jewish people the ultimate "right to return".

When Islam conquered the land in the 7th century it murdered and took over villages where Jews had been living and forcibly converted the inhabitants. There has never been a time in over 3,000 years when there weren't Jews living here. I imagine that many of the people who call themselves 'palestinian' are descended from Jews or Christians who were converted by the sword.

http://www.tsel.org/keveryoseph/ Joseph's Tomb in Shechem as photographed about 100 years ago! Samaria in Israel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Islam is the religion of the uncivilized, the brutish and moronic as we can see. I hope Israel finishes the job now because the souless muslims would if they could. Jews were there first. Even the Arab world despises the Palestinians. Palestinians are the thorn the Arab world keeps trying to stick into Israel. Now you will see the spanking the Palestinian little sh*ts are going to get. Mazel Tov!!

These few Arabs lived for a decade at most in Israel not thousand of years! Arabs always lie about Israel because they are the occupiers and have no claim to the Jewish homeland! http://www.sullivan-county.com/id3/palestine.htm

Ghandhi appealed to Indian Muslims not to abandon India, and many stayed. There have been three Muslim presidents of India, Dr. Zakir Hussain, Dr Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed and the current president, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. If the Palestinians had remained, how many Muslim presidentsof Israel might there have been by now?

arabs in israel were never offered full citizenship rights ... more like second class citizenship

Thanks for your lively piece on Google Earth. Two thumbs up for Darby for maintaining the Palestinian right to an identity pre 1948.

i pity you. i really do

Tel-Aviv was founded in 1909 by Jews. It's always been called Tel-Aviv. Where did you learn your history and geography, oh, learned one?

even the UN recognizes the fraud..amazing that Israeli should be so unaware http://domino.un.org/unispal.nsf/9a798adbf322aff38525617b006d88d7/ec8de7912121fce5052565b1006b5152!OpenDocument 13. An accurate statement of the number of genuine refugees resulting from the war in Palestine is unlikely to be provided now or in the future. In fact, it is almost impossible to define closely the word "refugee," as applied to the work of the Agency, without leaving certain groups of deserving people outside those accepted, or conversely, including groups who probably should not be in receipt of relief. 14. The Agency has steadfastly resisted persistent and persuasive efforts to have it become responsible for the care and feeding of citizens of the various countries who are merely needy or destitute as a result of the war in Palestine. It has taken the stand that its funds were not provided for that purpose and should be applied only to relief and works for genuine refugees. If the needy, assumed to number more than 150,000, were added to the Agency's burden, little money would be left to apply to works projects. Many of the needy are now actually in poorer circumstances than the average refugee because the latter receives food, medical care and some clothing, little of which is available to the non-refugee. Appeals have been made by the Agency to voluntary organizations to feed and clothe the needy who are not entitled to be classified as refugees. DEFINITION OF A REFUGEE 15. For working purposes, the Agency has decided that a refugee is a needy person, who, as a result of the war in Palestine, has lost his home and his means of livelihood. A large measure of flexibility in the interpretation of the above definition is accorded to chief district officers to meet the many border-line cases which inevitably arise. In some circumstances, a family may have lost part or all of its land from which its living was secured, but it may still have a house to live in. Others may have lived on one side of the boundary but worked in what is now Israel most of the year. Others, such as Bedouins, normally moved from one area of the country to another, and some escaped with part or all of their goods but cannot return to the area where they formerly resided the greater part of the time. These examples give an idea of the varying conditions that must be met in administering the relief programme.

Its time to silence Israel once and for all. Israel is the MAIN cause of all the problems in the world. Without the USA, acting as a big brother and protector, Israel is nothing!!!

see www.mapisimo.com a website that - in its particular way - allows anyone to own any land on earth. just go to the site and correct the course of history....

palestinians lived and existed in palestine for thousands of years ,i agree that a palestinian state never existed,but the people did ,that is the hard fact , also few hundred years ago many countries we know now did not exist including u.s.a the greatest of all. but the people existed on this palnet everywhere including palestine, and not having a state with that name does not give the other reason to claim that land.

u all should do the same show the bastards tht we can play dirty games too

u say they existed thousands of years wht a shame to be such brainless human being

Cool, now I "grabbed" part of the Temple Mount! *mapisimo.com* land, that is
