Just a few observations by an Arab-American: Are the Palestinians a separate and unique people, different from the other Arabs? When did the notion arise - of the Palestinians as a separate Arab people? There is no language known as Palestinian. There is no distinct Palestinian culture. There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, etc. Keep in mind that the Arabs control 99.9 percent of the Middle East lands. Israel represents one-tenth of 1 percent of the landmass. But that's too much for the Arabs. They want it all. And that is ultimately what the fighting in Israel is about today. Greed. Pride. Envy. Covetousness. No matter how many land concessions the Israelis make, it will never be enough. - Joseph Farah, Arab-American journalist, editor and CEO of WorldNetDaily

Force the genocidal SOB watch REAL Mickey Mouse cartoons. Then make the creep write 500 times, "I will get rid of Farfur and stop teaching little kids to hate and kill".

I remeber that Abraham was in Arabia / IRAQ area and he visited Palestine. This is even before Israel. So who was living there before??? Do not tell me no body.

noted, u are non arab, non moslem etc...soaking in the sun of your previous empire and sucking up to your hosts. just for u to know in case u missed this bit ; much of the arbitrary laws are the creation of your colonisers in our country. (from collective punishment to arbitrary detention without indictment). what was/is(?) good for you to do in occupied ireland out of necessity, is necessary for us too and more. since the hope that you will learn is slim, all that remains for me to wish u , is to evaporate one day in the din of your home grown british moslem terror (not to generalise- but unfortunately a known to have existed occurance) directed against your sour western sun soaking persona. yours, with profuse nausea!

The preachers and teachers of HATE are as guilty as the foot soldiers in the field shooting rockets at Israel. The IDF is right on target on this.

No one here is saying that Israel is a perfect state, but people like you keep defending terror and making excuses for Hamas as if they are the victims are really pathetic. Palestinians choose terror and therefore they choose to live under Israeli watch and ooccupation. When Israel gives them an inch, they launch qassams and say they want a mile. They tech their kids to hate jews and to aspire to become martyrs (suicide bombers), but you still say nothing of this. You are a hypocrite! Plain and simple!

Abraham didn't visit any "Palestine" for the simple reason there was, is and won't be any "Palestine". The name was invented by the Romans. It is based on fiction, a twisted form reminding of Philistenians (who were of Greek origin). So, don't play more stupid than you are. Facts are enough, no Thousand and one night stories. With "original inhabitants" we can work with the fact Jerusalem was Israel's capital already three thousand years ago. Get acquainted with Bible and fact based history writing.

Like Amir Peretz said is better to prevent by detentions than provocking bloodshed

#5 Malaysian resident poster: Instead of bashing Israel go bash Malaysian mistreatment of its Chinese minority and rampant antisemitism.. How sad.
