61. Judea and Samaria
Rael   (08.02.06)
thats cause you look on the wrong maps
62. Hey # 15
Dan ,   Trenton USA   (08.02.06)
what map is that you are using? Nasrallah's???' The land has been called Israel for thousands of years. It was promised to the Jewish people forever. By God. Jehovah. Yahweh. Your religion comes out of anger. Its a carbon copy of Judaism, with alot of hate piled on. What does that tell you? Jehovah is God, and Yeshua is His Prophet. (Son, Counselour, Prince, etc).
63. #1 Hey khalid... the confused
Theo ,   Bat Yam   (08.02.06)
1. When was Palestine founded and by whom? 2. What were its borders? 3. What was its capital? 4. What were its major city's? 5. What constituted the basis of its economy? 6. Can you name at least one palestinian leader before arafat? 7. What was its form of government? 8. Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence at that time or now, leaves no room for interpretation? 9. What was the language of the country of Palestine? 10. What was the prevalent religion of the country of Palestine? 11. What was the name of its currency? Choose any date in history and try to find the approximate exchange rate of the Palestinian monetary unit against the US Dollar, German Mark, British Pound, Japanese Yen or Chinese Yuan on that date. 12. Have the palestinian left any artifacts behind? 13. Can you name any item of Palestinian cuisine? 14. What was their national dress? 15. Do you know of a library where one could find a work of palestinian literature produced before 1967? 16. And finally, since there is no such country today, what caused its demise and when did it occur? The answer is -- they are arabs, thrown out of arab countries, hell bent on destroying Israel, BIBLICAL PHILISTINES,TERRORIST'S! Oh and by the way... what exactly is an Israeli-arab?
64. To khalid
Arie   (08.02.06)
I just looked on the map and ther is No palestine?
65. shiites vs sunni
Ari ,   ny   (08.02.06)
shiites are slaughtering sunnis in iraq so it's no surprise that the shiite hezbulla wants to kill the sunni arabs in jenin.
66. No "Palestinians" no Palestine
Avram ,   USA!   (08.02.06)
If the "Palestinians" keep supporting and electing the terrorists, they won't need a country carved from the land, God gave to the Jews, because they'll all be "martyrs."
67. Khalid seems to be a paid propagandist
DavidAK ,   NY, USA   (08.02.06)
As others have pointed out, Khalid is a regular on other talkback sites, always baiting people with his standard Arab propaganda points. Not much sense trying to change his mind, although refuting his arguments is valuable for others to read. He seems to be a paid Arab propagandist.
68. Good Work YNET
houssam ,   beirut   (08.02.06)
Keep telling the truth YNET and dont listen.
69. to #50
Frankfurt/Germany   (08.02.06)
You are right that is exactly the mathematics of Hizbollah and Lebanon government. But please, do not call France, Spain and Finland like "all Europe". Many people here support Israel in its fight against terrorism. We are not so stupid to believe in everything what Hizbollah tries to "sell" us.
70. Israel has saved lives.
Al ,   chandler USA   (08.02.06)
Israel has saved lives. Israel has saved the lives of thousands. They have put there solders on the line to save the lives of the Lebanese. Just think if Israel called an all out war and carpet bombed Lebanon as they should do... Instead they have spared the lives of those that allowed missiles to be placed behind there house for money... Guess what they new the missiles would be used for?? To kill Jews... I support Israel and wish them God’s speed.
71. #50 and deathtoll, Arabs rule advertising
BS meter ,   Canada   (08.02.06)
Yeah, I saw a report about that, too! What was your source? I need to write a letter to the editor of our local paper, where they're still reporting "over 60" as the deathtoll. I believe 28 is the number now being given by the Red Cross, but would be really itnerested to know your source. By the way, when the world is totally at peace (ommmmm) and we are all holding hands and singing Kumbaya, we will need to divvy up the many satisfying jobs available. I suggest we give the job of advertising and PR to the Islamists. There will be nothing else for them to do once they've had to give up public beheadings and stonings. And they're damn good at PR.
72. Khalid and his crowing, #33
BS meter ,   Canada   (08.02.06)
What can I say: we are a generous people. And we actually do want peace. Unlike you, on both counts.
73. Palestine-to #15
Renate ,   Hilton, USA   (08.02.06)
Actually Palestine comes from the name Phillistine-enemies of Israel from way back-the name Phillistine was changed to Palestine in order to mock the Israelis. There is no such thing as a Palestinian, they are all Arabs. Why don't all the Arab nations around "Palestine" take in their own countrymen? Why, because they can be used against Israel to create trouble. Arabs using Arabs to get rid of Israel. The Holy One of Israel will avenge Israel in the end. I pray for Israel.
74. WRONG INFORMATION. WHY?
Sol ,   Lithuania   (08.02.06)
The Missile attack 1.5 weeks ago included 3 220lb Russian designed rockets and 2 Iranian (the fajr models).... Many Russians live in Israel, so perhaps they might be ashamed that they are being attacked by their own weapons.
75.  To #30
Renate ,   Hilton, NY   (08.02.06)
Hezbollah-the jihadists are being supplied by Syria and Iran-also -jihadists. I wonder if you'd like to live under these crazy jihadists, who hide behind their own babies, using them as shields and for their own propaganda. So, you'd rather believe these liers and child killers?
76. Judea
Roger ,   Richardson, Texas   (08.02.06)
Judea, Samaria are what is refered to as the west bank
77. # 15 READ AGAIN:
Irina ,   USA   (08.02.06)
ISRAEL AND JERUSALEM FACTS: 1. ISRAEL BECAME A STATE IN 1312 B.C., TWO MILLENNIA BEFORE ISLAM; 2. ARAB REFUGEES FROM ISRAEL BEGAN CALLING THEMSELVES "PALESTINIANS" IN 1967, TWO DECADES AFTER (MODERN) ISRAELI STATEHOOD; 3. AFTER CONQUERING THE LAND IN 1272 B.C., JEWS RULED IT FOR A THOUSAND YEARS AND MAINTAINED A CONTINUOUS PRESENCE THERE FOR 3,300 YEARS; 4. FOR OVER 3,300 YEARS, JERUSALEM WAS THE JEWISH CAPITAL. IT WAS NEVER THE CAPITAL OF ANY ARAB OR MUSLIM ENTITY. EVEN UNDER JORDANIAN RULE, (EAST) JERUSALEM WAS NOT MADE THE CAPITAL, AND NO ARAB LEADER CAME TO VISIT IT; 5. JERUSALEM IS MENTIONED OVER 700 TIMES IN THE BIBLE, BUT NOT ONCE IS IT MENTIONED IN THE QUR'AN; 6. KING DAVID FOUNDED JERUSALEM; MOHAMMED NEVER SET FOOT IN IT; 7. JEWS PRAY FACING JERUSALEM; MUSLIMS FACE MECCA. IF THEY ARE BETWEEN THE TWO CITIES, MUSLIMS PRAY FACING MECCA, WITH THEIR BACKS TO JERUSALEM; 8. IN 1948, ARAB LEADERS URGED THEIR PEOPLE TO LEAVE, PROMISING TO CLEANSE THE LAND OF JEWISH PRESENCE. 68% OF THEM FLED WITHOUT EVER SETTING EYES ON AN ISRAELI SOLDIER; 9. VIRTUALLY THE ENTIRE JEWISH POPULATION OF MUSLIM COUNTRIES HAD TO FLEE AS THE RESULT OF VIOLENCE AND POGROMS; 10. SOME 630,000 ARABS LEFT ISRAEL IN 1948, WHILE CLOSE TO A MILLION JEWS WERE FORCED TO LEAVE THE MUSLIM COUNTRIES; 11. IN SPITE OF THE VAST TERRITORIES AT THEIR DISPOSAL, ARAB REFUGESS WERE DELIBERATELY PREVENTED FROM ASSIMILATING INTO THEIR HOST COUNTRIES. OF 100 MILLION REFUGEES FOLLOWING WORLD WAR 2, THEY ARE THE ONLY GROUP TO HAVE NEVER INTEGRATED WITH THEIR CORELIGIONISTS. MOST OF THE JEWISH REFUGEES FROM EUROPE AND ARAB LANDS WERE SETTL ED IN ISRAEL, A COUNTRY NO LARGER THAN NEW JERSEY; 12. THERE ARE 22&n bsp;ARAB COUNTRIES, NOT COUNTING PALESTINE. THERE IS ONLY ONE JEWISH STATE. ARABS STARTED ALL FIVE WARS AGAINST ISRAEL, AND LOST EVERY ONE OF THEM; 13. FATAH AND HAMAS CONSTITUTIONS STILL CALL FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL. ISRAEL CEDED MOST OF THE WEST BANK AND ALL OF GAZA TO THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY, AND EVEN PROVIDED IT WITH ARMS; 14. DURING THE JORDANIAN OCCUPATION, JEWISH HOLY SITES WERE VANDALIZED AND WERE OFF LIMITS TO JEWS. UNDER ISRAELI RULE, ALL MUSLIM AND CHRISTIAN HOLY SITES ARE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL FAITHS; 15. OUT OF 175 UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTIONS UP TO 1990, 97 WERE AGAINST ISRAEL; OUT OF 690 GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTIONS, 429 WERE AGAINST ISRAEL; 16. THE U.N. WAS SILENT WHEN THE JORDANIANS DESTROYED 58 SYNAGOGUES IN THE OLD CITY OF JERUSALEM. IT REMAINED SILENT WHILE JORDAN SYSTEMATICALLY DESECRATED THE ANCIENT JEWISH CEMETERY ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, AN D IT REMAINED SILENT WHEN JORDAN ENFORCED APARTHEID LAWS PREVENTING JEWS FROM ACCESSING THE TEMPLE MOUNT AND WESTERN WALL
78. To #77
Marc ,   USA   (08.02.06)
You can try but you cannot use rational logic and facts against beings who are irrationally and illogocaly feel the world has to be subserviant to their every whim
79. Right on Theo !
Rich ,   USA   (08.02.06)
LOL you got it man !
80. MID EAST
Newton ,   Houston USA   (08.02.06)
GO ISRAELI
81. Palestine?
TGFI ,   USA   (08.02.06)
Somewhat true...but the Paletinian people were destroyed many centuries ago...read your history. The name Palestinian has only been adopted by the people of the region in the Last Century alone to use it as a propaganda tool and a mean to try and show that they belong there as well. The arabs in the region were only there for the jobs created by the Jewish people. Mark Twain himself admitted this in his visit to Jerusalem in the late 1800's.......he noted: "This land is desolate of people outside the gates".......so see.....the Palestinian people were not there........ie..the ones who were there were just nomads.
83. Where's Judea and Samaria
Steve Rosenbach ,   Baltimore, MD   (08.03.06)
Khalid, I have a "junior-high-school-type" Rand-McNally atlas that I got for my bar-mitzvah in 1963. When I look at the page for Israel and Jordan, in the part that used to be western Jordan, you can clearly see the upper and lower regions labeled "Samaria" and "Judea", respectively. These are the English equivalent for historic names for these 2 areas, Shomron and Yedhua. Samaria and Judea are names that are quite ancient - when Josephus (writing at the time of the Roman Emperor Vespasian) mentioned Judea, it was by then quite an old usage. The same is true for Samaria. Despite the fact that the Roman Emperor Hadrian renamed the area "Syria Palestina" in 135 CE, the names Samaria and Judea remained in constant use throughout the Byzentine, Muslim Arab, Crusader, and Ottoman conquests of the region. Under the British Mandate, the names Samaria and Judea also remained in use. U.N. Resolution 181, The 1947 Partition Plan, explicitly refers to these areas as Judea and Samaria. The first use of the term "West Bank" was by Jordan (then called Transjordan) at the time it annexed Judea and Samaria in the late '40's. I hope this helps. Shalom! SteveR
84. crazier than arafat ever was!!
bat yisrael ,   Chattanooga, US   (08.03.06)
These "oppressed" and "victimized" so-called rightful inheritors of land that rightfully belongs to the Children of Israel actually cheer when a missile nearly hits them -- so long as it doesn't have a star of David on it, it's good with them. Good site, #51! Go Israel, take it all back! We're all going to know one way or the other who God really is soon enough anyway, aren't we?
85. Palestinians 'overjoyed' by rocket attacks
Davis ,   La Canada, CA, USA   (08.05.06)
Overjoyed. Probably identical emotion as American parents feel when their kid scores two goals in a tight game.
