31. she is right in every sense.

32. Is she a brave woman?
Lenya ,   Australia   (06.29.12)
Yes she is...hers is not a liberal view as you call it but speaking out the truth. I don't believe that she will be shunned by the majority in the Arab Israeli community...except by the radicals who bites the hand that feeds them. I salute her and her children.
33. #28,huh... and your point is????
mary_of_bethany ,   singapore   (06.29.12)
don't quote scripture out of context! arab Christians are so addicted to quoting Scripture out of context or throwing away ("spirtualized) the verses that relate to promises to Jews restoration to the Land and G-D strengthening Israel ! care to expound on the verses!
34. #30 - a small correction
John in the Negev ,   S'dot Negev   (06.29.12)
I agree with you, except on one small point of fact. Non Jews can and do immigrate to Israel. The Black Hebrews by Dimona are a large example, but there are others. For a non Jew it is not easy (requires proof of ability to support oneself, being able to speak Hebrew, etc.) but it is doable. Actually not a whole lot harder than getting US or Canadian Citizenship The point of Israel being a homeland and refuge for Jews is that Immigration and citizenship are automatic, no matter what.

Where do you find this stuff? And surely you do not for a single moment believe that anyone thinks it was composed by you! When you write on your own steam, you sound like an idiot. When you cut and paste from questionable websites without attribution, you sound like a parrot.

Boy are you living in ancient history. It is the Arab that turns poor blacks or Asians into slaves. Meanwhile here in Israel Arabs live the life! I walked on the Tayelet last night during Tel. Aviv's white night celebrations and the Israeli Arabs were out playing ball and having BBQ's on the beaches and everyone left them in peace. Come to Israel and see how it really is. Peace is so readily at hand if the Muslim warmongers outside Israel decide to co-exist.
39. To: No. 37
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.29.12)
No. It isn't. Next question?

41. #35, is no answer agreement with?
observer ,   Egypt   (06.29.12)
42. #33 here is the omitted part of verse 2:
observer ,   Egypt   (06.29.12)
Nations will take them and bring them to their OWN place ..." that was about Israel's occupation of the OWN land of Arabs.
43. half of the Jewish population of Israel are Arab Jews
observer ,   Egypt   (06.29.12)
I don't believe that if the religious Haredim had been Arab, they would have evaded drafting in the army.
44. tell that to the Coptic minorities and what is left of the
martin ,   uk   (06.29.12)
Jewish population. The majority of Egyptian Jews became refugees. that is, those who managed to escape being dhimmis. as a Muslim yourself, you have nothing to offer in any communication as to how people should be treated with respect. Enjoy your Arab Spring
45. Bravery and Truth
Jay Abouaf ,   Jaffa, Israel   (06.29.12)
Bravery plus Truth equals Goodness Thank you. You are great.

Your posts get very boring after awhile. Why dont you go climb a pyramid and do your "observing" from there?
48. Loyalty
Edu ,   KH - HAIFA   (06.29.12)
My grand father told me that in Turkya (muslim country) a jewish who refuse to go to the army was a traitor and loose his citenship.
49. # 27 Biased observer ! "Must pay taxes
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (06.29.12)
and accept suffering,humiliation and servitude"isn't this what mohamed inflicted on Jews,Christians, who refused to believe his claims that he is the last and the only prophet ?.in the time of mohamed Jews and christians were much more tolerant toward other faiths than the muslims.
50. # 28 Biased observer ! Isaiah 14:1-2
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (06.29.12)
They will take captive those who were their captors and rule over those who oppressed them,whats wrong with that ?.Jews are not christians,piously offering the other cheek.
51. #3 - Harold - prove it!
William ,   Israel   (06.29.12)
"All Arab residence were at that neighborhood for hundred of years and before Israel was created." Prove this statement, or piss off! Based on Ottoman Turk and British records, many Arabs in the land - that is, the small amount of people that actually lived in the land at the turn of the century - arrived in various waves of immigration, either to find work or to move away from scarce food resources as was the case in 1914 in the area. In the 1930s, massive immigrations of Muslims arrived to find work. Churchill made remarks on this phenomenon at the time. While your statement is true for a tiny amount of Arabs who live in Israel, it is also true of Jews who lived here for hundreds of years - many who were targeted by massacres and genocide in Gaza, Tzfat, Jerusalem, Hebron, and Jericho! But by majority, those Arabs in Israel are those who stayed in 1948 to build the State and trust Jews, and those NOT in Israel ran out of fear or greed.
52. #23 - land ownership not tied to Right of Return
William ,   Israel   (06.29.12)
On the founding of the State, it was deemed that NO ONE will actually own land. The land of Israel will be in Israel's trust and "leased" to "owners" for 99 years at a time. So, in actuality, no one owns there land. However, saying that - there are many Israeli Arabs who "own" their land just as Jewish counterparts do. So, your biased claim is moot.
53. #27 - I've heard many Jewish religious leaders speak
William ,   Israel   (06.29.12)
and I haven't heard one comparing "Palestinians" to Canaanites. Are you sure you're not referring to one or two radical religious nuts, who also decry non-religious Jews" and mistakenly claim they represent ALL Jews? I guess we can in turn listen to the words of Al-Qaeda's leader and claim it represents ALL Muslims, right? I do want you to cite the Jewish law that (you claim) allows non-Jews to live among them but pay taxes and accept humiliation. That definitely goes against Israel's own laws which ensure freedom of worship and equality to all citizens, Jewish and non-Jewish alike. Perhaps you accidentally mixed up "Jewish" with the Muslim dhimmi laws which your description sounds more like.
54. #28 - written in scripture, but is it followed today?
William ,   Israel   (06.29.12)
Unlike Muslims and the Koran, Jews don't follow their writings so closely that it violates current intl and local laws. Otherwise, your ilk would have been stoned and enslaved decades ago. We are progressive and give deep thought to the meanings within Jewish writings. However, your ilk follow writings blindly and kill wantonly believing it pleases your moon god. What's interesting is - if you did follow the Koran, you'd be welcoming the Jewish State and not fighting it.
55. #37 - no, because it doesn't affect current citizens
William ,   Israel   (06.29.12)
One question - can an Israeli immigrate to Egypt?
56. #43- Jews from Arabs lands do not consider themselves Arabs
William ,   Israel   (06.29.12)
Best not to insult the population you cite to make a case against the rest of Israelis. Jews from Arab Lands worked hard and fought for Israel after being ethnically cleansed by their Arab neighbors, especially in Egypt.
57. #46 - are you angry Avi...
William ,   Israel   (06.29.12)
that while you evade IDF service an Arab family stands up and meets their obligations? Sort of kills your Leftist platform that the IDF are "warmongers". Such is the case of selfish punks with a sense of entitlement they don't deserve. Your mom deserves a real slap for bringing you into the world.
58. on the maternal or paternal side?
observer ,   Egypt   (06.30.12)
Arab Jews do not consider themselves Arabs.
59. Muslim woman: Arabs must enlist in IDF
Gabi ,   USA   (07.05.12)

60. you are right rami
andres ,   austria   (08.28.12)
