61. #7 Barka - since you mentioned facts
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (05.28.11)
How aobut providing some of them yourself ? I am so fed up about your lot claiming Israel as your "Ancient Homeland", without any of your lot able or willing to prove it Here are some rather simple questions, you be the genius and answer some of them, which, will of course prove your claim Name just three of its kings or rulers. What are their achievements? With which other peoples did the Palestinians interact? Where can one find any records where in the name of the country of Palestine or its people are mentioned? What Archaeological sites can one name? Where can one find the recorded history of these people? Whom did they conquer or were conquered by? Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or even now, leaves no room for misunderstanding? Can anyone name at least Five Palestinian leaders before Arafat? Since there is no such recognized country today, what caused its demise and when did it occur? Those who are lamenting the 'low sinking' of a 'once proud' nation, please tell us, when exactly was this proud nation brought down? By whom was it brought down? Also, what was it so proud of? And here are some very important historical facts and further relevant questions: Not even under the Ottoman Empire's 500 years occupation was the name of Palestine used for any part or section of the Holy Land for administrative purposes. If there were an entity called Palestine and its people Palestinians, it would beggar logic and belief that the Muslim Ottomans would not denote the area with their name. Barka, the ball is in your court, return it with the answers, just think, you will be the very first that will have been able to do so All the rest ducked away and went into hiding, and there are dozens of them BTW - Where EXACTLY are Palestine or Jerusalem mentioned in the Koran ?
62. Regardless of Truth there is lack in ripeness of leadership
Layman ,   Yehuda   (05.29.11)
There is lack of arab leadership in general and Palestinian leadership in particular !!! With the passing of some springs the arabs and the Palestinians may develope authentic and democratic leadership that represent the interests of their people rather than the interests of their pocket.
