31. Israel/PA peace is needed to help solve other ME problems
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (08.27.10)
The Israel/PA convict is far from only problem in ME but it is the key that is needed before the other problems can be addressed. The question is whether it is more dangerous now or later, the status quo currently give Israel the edge but long term one lost war could be the end of a Jewish Israel for another 2000yrs.

34. JOEL3:2 WARNING!!!! DIVIDE & CONQUER
Chris ,   Porthmadog,Wales   (08.28.10)
Because the Bible tells us this will be so. But Wow the all the nations who will end up being party to the dividing of ISRAEL Joel 3: 2 tells us that When God restores Zion,The whole Nations will Come togther to divide their Land.This will result in the JUDGMENT OF THE NATIONS! Read also Zechariah 12:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. THAT WHY THE WORLD IS FOCUSED ON THE PALESTINIANS BECAUSE IT ABOUT DIVIDE AND CONQUER!
35. WHO ARE THE PALESTINIANS?
chrisi ,   porthmadog   (08.28.10)
http://www.wildolive.co.uk/who%20are%20palestinians.htm Who are the Palestinians? We must ask this question, not in order to deligitimize the Arab people known as the Palestinians, but because their leaders are making baseless claims in order to delegitimize the Jews and the State of Israel. Christians also must examine these claims because they are made by Muslims to undermine or distort the Bible and to mobilise the church against God’s covenant people and covenant land. If the media and politicians took the trouble to consult history books instead of merely listening to what people are saying today, the present war of words over “the Middle east conflict” would be much more clear cut. Instead we are in the position where the most preposterous lies, told often enough and seriously enough, become recognized as truth.
36. NOUR #5
Jason ,   San Francisco, USA   (08.28.10)
The numbers he received p-artially from the PA bureau for births and deaths and population etc... BTW, Historical Palestine is Jewish. The academic term (though wrong because it is an appellation given by Romans) "palestine"=land of Israel. Also, everybody knows that Jews were called palestinians and Arabs and Turk settlers were 95% of time called Arabs etc...
37. TO 26
(08.28.10)
IF YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE HISTORY IS RIGHT ...SO PEOPLE IN PALASTINE WILL SPEAK HEBROW AND WILL BE JEWS AS IN EGYPT AND NORTH AFRICA ..SURE THEY WERE NOT ARABS HADE ANOTHER LANGUAGE AND HAD ANOTHER RELIGION ... ..IT IS A FACT THAT ARAB MOSLEMES HAD CARRIED THE LANGUAGE AND THE RELIGION TO THE CONCORED ARIAS BUT IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO THE JEWS TO CHANGE THE LANGUAGE OR THE RELIGION OF THE NNATIVE INHABITANTS .ISRAIL WANTS THE LAND BUT ARAB MOSLEMES WANTED TO CHANGE THE RELIGION TO ISLAM THEY DI IT BY CONCERING THE LAND NOT THE PEOPLE IT IS THE CIVILISATION .. JEWS AND CIVILIZATION IS SO LOCKED SO STRICT BUT ISLAM IS SO WIDE SO EASY TO BE EXPANDED
38. #26- wrong
Nourredine Morceli   (08.28.10)
((Since neither you nor any of the other Arab hypocrites read history books not written by PLO cretins)) I'm pretty sure we read every account of the story, even the Israeli one, and even through the lies we see the true history of our people. ((the Ottoman Turks were the landlords in the 1800's. The fact that Zionists bought [ from the Turkish landowners ])) Wrong. The Ottoman Turks owned Palestine and other areas, yes, but they let the Arabs landlords do as they pleased. ((the inferior land that lacked clean water is lost on idiots)) Was there any land with purely 'clean water' in the 19th- early20th century? Oh, note that Palestinians in the west bank are getting all their water stolen by settlers. Really should thank you for that. ((As far as Arabs go, Arabs come from Arabia [ Saudi or otherwise ])) Are you suggesting we should cram the 300 million people that identify themselves as Arabs in Saudi Arabia? ((How did Arabs end up in Egypt, Syria, Lebanon or anywhere in North Africa? Because they conqured and stole land not theirs)) From who? The Romans? The very people who expelled you from Palestine and banned you from entering Jerusalem (until the Muslims conquered it and allowed you back in)? And you call Palestinians and Muslims ungrateful... So don't feign to be knowledgeable, "Mr. Hal." You live in a country so perverse and ignorant in world geography and are taught by people who create plots to commit crimes and cover their tracks. I urge you to learn the truth with an open mind.
39. To #38
Yehudi ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.29.10)
Actually #26 is correct according to all well respected historians. The Arabs came from Arabia and spread out across the Middle East as conquers.
40. #38 If you think your biased loved affair with phillistines
Jae ,   Lynn US   (08.29.10)

41. # 1 SAID IT BRILLIANTLY WELL!
uk ,   bangor   (08.29.10)
Well said No1 you got it all right and in a recent poll 78% of 'Palestinians' would love to Wipe Israel off the map while another 10% would welcome this..that 90% what sort of people Israel is dealing with here?what sort of depraved culture and society bring up their chidren to HATE THEIR NEIGHBOURS? The PA Authority have Brainwashed every palestinians from age of 3 to Live and Fight against Israel.they have become a monster of a people and need to be wipled out otherwise,This Monster will Wipe not only Israel,But Inffect the whole world.they act like wild animals they must be treats as such,ISRAEL Wipe them out and do the poor Palestinians a favour..as chidren they might get to Heaven,But if they grow up to hate IsraelHell is a certaintly! Wipe the people out before more innocent die,and before Israel is wiped out! sorry for being blunt but reality needs to take over this Situation.Israel should Destroy this People or they wll desroy Israel.That Common logic & FAIR ISN'T IT? The EU Careless for the Arabs or Jews,,but they Hate israel more!
42. # 2 your correct!
chris ,   Bangor,wales   (08.30.10)
hey # 2 your correct! You need the Whole Muslim world Including the russians against Israel still even then Israel will defeat Them all,And you who are allah's chidren,A Foreign god that Is far removed from the God of the bible,You will finally be destroyed while the Survivers if there be any will fear the God of Israel.READ Ezekiel 38&39 and even your people are Mentioned along with Egupt as Rebels against the Lord. Joe 3:19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence [against] the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land. Joel 3:20 But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. Joel3: warns every nation not to Divide Israel.Your world war 3 will be your Burial..
43. #39- you want bring actions
Nourredine Morceli   (08.30.10)
that were done over a millenia ago? The Romans were conquerers as well, and they slaughtered thousands of you. So did the crusaders that came after them. Do you prefer those people to the Muslim Arabs, who showed you far more mercy?
44. #40, you mock and make fun
Nourredine Morceli   (08.30.10)
But you are deceived and blind. ((is the product oif an open mind, Id like to take a look at what youre smoking)) Wouldn't you like to know. I'd like to know just how much crack you snort per day to become such a morally bankrupt person. Hate to disappoint, but I'm also an athlete... lots of drug dealers where you're from, so don't be too discouraged. Haifa is an Arabic name... what does that tell you? Besides: you give names to cities, cities which also have Arabic names (Jerusalem = Al-Quds, the holy, in arabic)
