62. #56 not a bad idea
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (02.26.11)
On the one hand, you have Libya (and other Arab countries) that are huge, extraordinarily wealthy, blessed with natural resources and sparsely populated. On the other hand you have Israel that is tiny, overcrowded and the only land of the indigenous Jews. Instead of creating a new Arab state in Israel, or forcing massive Arab immigration into Israel both which will lead to perpetual war or genocide, we can have a peaceful population exchange. Your suggestion does make sense. I'd love to hear what Salma and Nour say about this great idea.

64. #50 JK is right.
Steven ,   Rockville, USA   (02.26.11)
Graczek feels important when somebody responds to his hateful talk-backs. Nobody should respond to this lunatic moron, and eventually he will drop out when he can not stir up any antagonism. The same should be applied to Split and his ilk.
65. Israel, the ragweed of the Middle East...
Mikesailor ,   Miami, FL   (02.26.11)
An imported allergen, if there ever was one.
66. #65 Perfumed nourishment of the gods
Cynthia ,   USA   (02.26.11)
And a very tenacious plant. May Israel forever make you sneeze.
67. To: No. 65
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.27.11)
Imported? Yeah, right. It's the Arabs who came charging out of Arabia, destroying everything. They're still destroying. You need look no further than Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon to figure that out. Your hatred of Jews and Israel blinds you to the truth. Take the scales from your eyes, sailor boy.

if so, then you are surely looking at yourself and your "society" in the mirror. mirror do not lie salma. wake up and smell the true coffeee. you as a people have a very very very long long long way to go to become a civilized society to say the least.
69. #40 "racist"?
Tahl   (02.27.11)
Do enlighten me, dear Gustavo, as to how exactly is this article 'racist'?... Because I truly haven't noticed anything racist here. So - please provide a solid proof of your claim, or admit that you're talking nonsense.

No such place as Palestine sweetie.

72. Israel 1948
David A ,   Minneapolis. USA   (02.27.11)
When ISRAEL became a nation in 1948 it was a dry desert land. The people of Israel has made it flower into a garden. Now the Arabs want it back. Also the temple of Israel Ad73 was there before the dome.
73. ...as for myself, robbing Seminole land (cont. from #65)

globalist ,   planet earth   (02.28.11)
every nation can say that it is a light unto the nations or people etc.. i donot believe in fairy tales! lots of success with dreaming on and idolization of one people, one culture, one ideology etc.
75. "a flower in the desert".
globalist ,   planet earth   (02.28.11)
this is sheer arrogance/conceit/insult to the other countries and peoples of this world. no distinction/discrimination between peoples (only between criminals and non-criminals). from history we all know where discrimination can lead to!
76. to nr. 16.
cosmopolitist ,   planet earth   (02.28.11)
i accept and respect the jewish people, the jewish culture, the jewish civilization, the jewish religion/judaism and i respect every people with their culture, country and civilization. this world is one country and mankind is one people of about 7 billion human beings today.
77. #2 you are right it's easy but...
World citizen ,   World   (02.28.11)
The reason why Israel would never rest is because their god Jehovah had said so in deutronomy 28: Among those nations you will find no repose, no resting place for the sole of your foot. There the LORD will give you an anxious mind, eyes weary with longing, and a despairing heart... You will live in constant suspense, filled with dread both night and day, never sure of your life. And all that because they disobeyed god and the nation of Israel became rejected by Jehovah forever
78. That flower isn't 'native' to that area..and never was..
Edithann ,   USA   (03.01.11)
nor will it ever be....You can deny it all you want, but it's all true...and that's why you're in trouble now! TATA
79. Native
emmaford32@gmail.com ,   London   (03.01.11)
The Jewish flower was native to the region centuries before the Muslim weed.
80. To: No. 78
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.01.11)
So the Kingdom of Judah and the Kingdom of Israel dating back over 4,000 years are just figments of our imagination? How about all the archeological evidence and ancient scrolls, carbon dated to a time long before Arabs were recognized as such and certainly long before Islam, are those imaginary as well? All those references in the Hebrew Bible to Jerusalem (there are thousands) and the City of David, well, that's just all made-up, is that what you are suggesting? You are one sick, demented puppy. You and Graczek and Seadog are soulmates. Perhaps we can each contribute a modest sum and arrange for all three of you to be housed in the same lunatic asylum. Would you like us to do that? Would you? TA TA.
81. # 79..not true...or would flowered immediately...
Edithann ,   USA   (03.01.11)
It's foreign to the area...just as you're probably foreign to London...So when did you invade London and why? TATA
82. # 80...of course all that ancient history is nonsene...
Edithann ,   USA   (03.02.11)
.It's what keeps you all together...doesn't mean a damn thing to anyone else and certainly doesn't justify the 'GRAND THEFT OF PALESTINE'..with your resulting genocide of the Palestinians... ...What archeological evidence and ancient scrolls are you talking about..there are no such things? And that's not because you haven't 'dug up' all of Palestine and still haven't found anything that would substantiate the Theft and Deaths you're responsible for... It's all BS manufactured to keep you dim-witted Jews tied to the lies and to justify the 'GRAND THEFT'.. As for being amongst the 'three' telling the truth...you're amongst the majority of Jews who do nothing but lie..You're job here and it's certainly your job, is to keep the Israeli Jews thethered to your hatefilled rhetoric, to denigrate the Palestinians and steal more of their land.. You have a history all right..and it's 3000 years old......too funny..just too funny Sarah... You Jews are masters at manufacturing facts...look how you got 'us' into Iraq..and look how successful that's turned out for 'you' and us?? So how is Egypt and the rest of the ME grabbing you?...So much for Zionist destabilzation and believing all the Zionist BS and passing off that historical nonsense as religous..When it's always been BS.. TATA
83. No 81
Emma ,   London   (03.02.11)
So there was no Jewish presence in the area at the time of Jesus (long before the Muslim religion was created)? Your crass remark shows what a complete idiot you are - by it you are implying that wherever Jews are in the world they are foreigners who invaded the place. Did you plagerise that from Mein Kampf? My family have been in London far longer than I suspect yours have been in the USA unless of course your ancestors came on the Mayflower. Mine arrived in London in 1654.
84. Genocide of Palestinians!!!!!
Emma ,   London   (03.02.11)
500,000 Arabs fled the nascent state of Israel after a war of annihilation started by their own people in 1948. Today there are 3 million people who call themselves Palestinians, correct me if I am wrong but I always understood that genocide meant decreasing not increasing a population.
85. #82 - No brainer
Emma ,   London   (03.02.11)
Gosh, you really do hate Jews and Israelis don't you with a vengeance? Your posts are so full of the sort of the hate filled diatribes we hear from Muslim Jihadists that I am sure that you are one or are being paying by them to spout your nonsense. So all of Judeo-Christian history is false yet Arab and Islamic versions of history are absolutely true? And now we are responsible for the destabilisation in the Middle East? As if all your fellow Jew/Israeli hating Jihadist friends would listen to the evil Izzra-ay-leezs. If you weren't so utterly contemptible and dreadful you would be considered very funny. I don't like to get personal in these posts but quite honestly I have things on the bottom of my shoe that have more sense than you do. You are nothing but a dyed in the wool vicious anti-Semite. May I suggest that other posters do not respond because it only gives him/her oxygen to air their obnoxious views. Edithann, whatever else you write, however you try to bait me, I will not respond because you are not worth my time and energy and I will not engage with an ignorant, stupid idiot like you any more. I must put my energies into plotting the take over the world.
86. # 85...It has nothing to do with 'hate'...
Edithann ,   USA   (03.02.11)
There is no such thing as Judeo/Christian anything... Read your own Torah/Talmud nonsense...They are two distinctly different and opposite philosophies with Judaism teaching 'hatred towards Christians and Christianity supposedly forgiving and loving everyone...How do you reconcile that dearie and anyway, who do you think you're trying to snow here, me or you?.. You apparently don't know your own history, now run along and read Herzl's and early Zionist writings on the necessity of destabilizing the Middle East. Looks like they've been successful don't you think,? They may be a little late, but what the hell, better late then never? Hahaha..I'm sure those Zionists never dreamed that Israel's existence would now be imperiled by their once grand scheme to steal Palestine....hahahaha. It's obvious you don't know even a little about anything!... TATA
87. # 81....Jewish presence has always been around..
Edithann ,   USA   (03.02.11)
They've been wandering the planet ever since they left Egypt...You remember that don't you? it's documented and fact, or was that before of after the Abraham facts? I keep getting those 'facts' mixed up...Hahahaha TATA

89. No: 87 Every post you make shows how insane you are
Micky ,   Tel Aviv   (03.02.11)
for the sake of your children I do hope that your insanity is not hereditary.
90. # 88- 89. All mental health experts sound the same!
Edithann ,   USA   (03.03.11)
Hey, I thought all those experts were in Israel, but it seems your Talmudic expertise is so faultless, it's exported and that's why you all sound the same.. How does it feel to know only Jews are mental health expert diagnosticians on 'goy' mental health...hahahahaha As I said, you are not native flowers on Palestinian soil...and never were... TATA ..
