3. Did the jews live in peace under the turks?
Muhammad Shurafa ,   Detroit, Michigan   (12.06.06)
Did I read that wrong. "Admire synagogues that flourished under the Turkish rule" ? I thought the myth is that Jews and Arabs were forever on each others throats.
4. The Jewish quarter was illegaly
Palestinian   (12.06.06)
established on top of an Arab neighborhood that was totally destroyed by Israel after the 1967 war. We will not forget this, and most importantly, we will not forgive!
5. #3: TURKS ARE NOT ARABS
Ben Avraham ,   Tel Aviv   (12.06.06)
6. #4: The arab slum was built on a Jewish
Ben Avraham ,   Tel Aviv   (12.06.06)
neighborhood of hundreds of years that was destroyed by the Jordanians in 1948. We never forgot so we rebuilt it. Keep crying about all your losses and you will keep losing. It's pathetic.
7. Ben Avraham, under Turkish rule, residents were Arabs!

8. #6: You should thank muslims
(12.06.06)
Hundreds of years? Were there Jews in Palestine for 2000 years?! Didn't Jews for some reason deserted Palestine although Muslims freed them from the Romans. Pathetic! The Irony is that your next dispersion will be on the hands of Muslims, not Romans or Persians this time!
9. #8 Tell me, are you not ashamed?
Bechor   (12.06.06)
Are you not ashamed to show such ignorance and a lack of even the slightest knowledge of the history of Israel? There has been an unbroken Jewish presence in the land of Israel for MORE than two thousand years. Our next dispersion, if it ever takes place, will be accompanied by the extermination of the Arab world by Israeli and American nukes. If you value your life and the life of your brothers, I would forget this fairytale of "Palestine" that you have invented, and learn to live alongside us instead of trying to exterminate us.

10. To #9, practically there were none
(12.06.06)
you just deserted this place for no justifiable reason! You are simply being brain washed. You are back in abnormal reasons. You were not treated this way by muslims for more than 2000 years, and now you are doing to Palestinians what romans did to you. Palestinian simply means any one with roots in Palestine, being christian jew or muslim. No inventions here. Simple, like a french, american etc.... It seems you are totally brain washed zioinist
11. #10 The land is called Israel
Bechor   (12.06.06)
True, you can be a Jewish American, or a Muslim American, or a Christian American, simply because the two terms are not mutually exclusive. Islam, Christianity and Judaism are religions, and American is a nationality. "Palestine" has never been a nation, and therefore, one cannot be a "Palestinian" or a "Palestinian Jew" or a "Palestinian Christian." I have been educated in Australia by some of the most radical leftist history teachers you will ever meet: I am not brainwashed. We, unlike the Muslims, do not need to brainwash our people to hide the truth, because the truth is staring us in the face. There was never a Palestine, and there is no such thing as a Palestinian. Here is a quote from wikipedia for you: "Under Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and (briefly) Sassanian rule, Jewish presence in the region dwindled because of mass expulsions. In particular, the failure of the Bar Kokhba's revolt against the Roman Empire in 132 CE resulted in a large-scale expulsion of Jews. It was during this time that the Romans gave the name Syria Palaestina to the geographic area, in an attempt to erase Jewish ties to the land.[9] Nevertheless, the Jewish presence in Palestine remained constant. The main Jewish population shifted from the Judea region to the Galilee. The Mishnah and Jerusalem Talmud, two of Judaism's most important religious texts, were composed in the region during this period. The Muslims conquered the land from the Byzantine Empire in 638 CE. The Hebrew niqqud was invented in Tiberias during this time. The area was ruled by the Omayyads, then by the Abbasids, Crusaders, the Kharezmians and Mongols, before becoming part of the empire of the Mamluks (1260-1516) and the Ottoman Empire in 1517." So, you see, it is you who is brainwashed and refuse to accept the fact that the land of ISRAEL has always been a central part of Judaism, and has had a constant Jewish presence for well over two thousands years. We are not doing to the Palestinians what the Romans did to us. 20% of Israel's citizens are Arabs. Does that sound like a country that is trying to expel its Arabs citizens to you, genius? It seems you are a clueless anti-Zionist who will oppose Israel at any price and without any supporting evidence to substantiate your laughable claims. Have a nice day.
