Why don't type in Danny Ayalon into youtube and watch "Israel Palestinian Conflict: The Truth About the West Bank" . But thats only if you want to know the truth, but i am sure you don't want to know the truth which is why you wont watch it. Plus hatred and blindness surrounds you.
32. #8 This land, Israel, was always homeland of Jews.
Nameless one ,   Jerusalem   (08.15.11)
And yet (!!!): - Jews bought it piece by piece during borning of Zionism. - King Feisal of Saudi Arabia signed agreement that this land belongs to Jews. - League of Nations aka world council decided that it belongs to Jews. - Later on UN enabled creation of Israel as a land for Jews. I can go on, but first, where were Palestinians during that time? Did they ever existed? P.S. If someone robes you, you have full right to return it. Anyone who disagrees with this lawsuit please post your address, I will gladly free your belongings and your property from your possession. And of course, you won't have a right to demand your property back.

The Jews reluctantly agreed to the 1947 UN Partition Plan for the British Mandate of Palestine because Jerusalem wasn't included. They agreed, nonetheless. The Arabs didn't. The Arab (now known as Palestinians) residents therein where were asked to leave temporarily by 5 invading Arab Armies while they "pushed the Jews into the sea"...and come back when the dastardly job was done Didn't happen, did it? Got their a$$es whooped, eh? ...and you've been caught up in their sob story. Do yourself a favour and educate yourself to the real sequence of events to avoid revealing how much you don't know about the causes of this conflict. I suggest start by listening to what Dr Jacques Gauthier has to say about this issue.
37. Oh, cut it out already!!
Michael Steiner ,   Bahrain   (08.15.11)
The natzim murdered half my family and my dad came out of the war with absolutely nothing, including his real name and date of birth. Nobody ever gave him a dime and he never asked anybody for anything. My mom has a similar story, though luckily nobody was killed in her family. Give it a rest with this compensation business already. This has become an industry and it's sullying the tragic memory of the Shoah.

Dear Cousin Abdalla...stop doing historical "31" in public. The Palestinians have only themselves to blame for the situation they are in. The Land of Israel belongs to the Jews and was promised to us by G-d himself, thousands of years ago. There were never less than 100,000 Jews in Israel. Palestinians are newcomers from Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Saudi...etc...There is literally no such thing as a Palestinian. The term is a complete historical fabrication. How about the Palestinians return our land and stop slaughtering families in their sleep, blowing up buses, and stabbing innocent civilians. If we have to talk about reparations...then the Pals owe us much more than we owe them!
39. #8 Getting rich?
Raphael ,   Netanya   (08.15.11)
Seems you are too young to have known "Palestine" before 1948: sand dunes, swamps with malaria, barren hills destroyed by your goats; Arabs living in adobe huts except the effendis who made big money selling overpriced real estate to the Zionists.

Excellent talkback.
41. #4- Skin Head Or Useful Idiot?
Mike Hock Hertz ,   brooklyn NY   (08.15.11)
May I say Mr. Anti Semite/Anti Zionist that if it weren't for Jews, your miserable existence would probably not be possible. In the sixty odd short years that Israel has been in existence, never has such a small and young country contributed more to the world in the fields Science and Technology...from new medicines, technological innovations (computer chips, scanners, cell phones, etc). "Lazy"...Israeli's are anything but lazy. You sir, however are the rear end of a horse! It's too bad that inbred idiots like you had Jewish inventions like the Polio vaccine available to them. The world would be a better place without you and your inbred family!
42. They are right.
noa ,   israel   (08.16.11)
They are not even suing for murder or pain brought on from trauma; they are suing for confiscation of their property by the country they were legal citizens of, who paid taxes and served in the army of that country for years. In any other country the government would either return the property or pay restitution. No. 2, Palestinians were not citizens of any organized country at the time. The Jews and Arabs living in this area were in the same situation; neither had an official country. Though both were promised the same land by Britain, and the UN offered a small part to both, Israel agreed to accept the compromise. Why? Because Israel needed it more. It wasn't about pride; it was about finding a place for the remaining Jews to live. No. 2, maybe the Jews' motivation was stronger, and maybe that is what really ticks you and all the other Palestinians off.
43. who is left alive to sue for the losses that the native
(08.16.11)
amercians took? austria didnt do anything that no other land has not done already before.....it all goes around and around. usa took land from native americans, germans and EU took jews lives and looted them, this country took that and that country took this. russia took, usa took, germany took, austria took, sudan gets taken, chad gets taken, eitopia gets taken, and so on. ireland vs england,
44. Austria's debt
AlC. ,   New-York, US   (08.17.11)
Austria has a debt of around 210 billion euros. Those survivors can have them entirely to the last cent.
45. #8 does that mean that all the arab countries must give back
Dan ,   New York   (08.19.11)
the land they forcibly took from the Jews in the 1950s and 1960s? Or give back the money they were not allowed to take with them? I'm confused by your lack of memory
46. austria's tragic history
celine woland ,   austria   (08.22.11)
just yesterday i read an article in "der standard" about the banker family ephrussi from vienna. they lost everything in exchange of the permission to emigrate. after the end of the war they received a 10 000 dollars of compensation and had to sign that they had no additional claims. today the great-and grandchildren of the nazis still live in the houses and apartements robbed from the jews which were murdered. many wonderful historic buildings were never claimed back and are now owned by banks and insurances.
47. @kyle, southpark
celine woland ,   austria   (08.22.11)
just an example--before 1938 over 50% of all doctors in vienna were jewish. jews contributed immensely to the wealth and culture in austria, i wouldnt even know where to start with the list of the prominent austria jews. and even today's small jewish community of austria contributes a lot in terms of culture, medicine, economics.
