31. tomorrow it will be.. Jerusalem, Haifa & Jaffa
Amichai ,   Huntsville, US   (12.07.12)
Their true intent is on display yet leftists keep chanting "2 states". The Palies only want one state and it has no Jews.

lawrence tan ,   singapore   (12.07.12)

34. Mashaal is not kissing the ground in Gaza
observer ,   Egypt   (12.07.12)
he is prostrating on the ground, a pryer of thanks giving to God.
35. Mashall - Why wait?
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (12.07.12)
Show you have the baytzim to vist Israel today Receptions await you in HaIfa, T.A. and any other of our cities that you wish to vistit Don't forget to bring your personal edition of the Quran, with the pages marked that mantion Palestine
36. To the ones who hope for peace
NYC Jew   (12.07.12)
I'm glad to see that some here understand that peace with someone who wants to kill you is simply unatinable. As far as Meshal returnting "home", the article is clear, he has not set foot there for almost 50 years. Clearly he could have through the tunnels or otherwise. Terrorists like him want others to do thier bidding. Oh, and I dont' know where soem of the commenters get this plug about race. Race has nothing to do with it. Any arab can become a jew at any moment. Same holds true the other way.

"Mashaal drove from Egypt through Rafah crossing.." into Gaza. Written in this article.
38. palestinians
DANNY TAWIL ,   ENGLAND   (12.07.12)
palestinians are brocken allready, you fool.
39. Palestine in the Bible
observer ,   Egypt   (12.07.12)
Jews were punished by God because they refused to go to Palestine and fight the settlers because they were too strong for them, and of course those Jews being the cowards and disbelievers they always were, it's not that hard to believe. Even Prophet Moses was upset with his own people. Joel 3:1-4 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink. Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompense? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompense upon your own head.
40. The world needs to take note of his words
Carl ,   USA   (12.07.12)
"Today it is Gaza and tomorrow it will be Ramallah, then Jerusalem, Haifa and Jaffa." And this is not only Hamas, but the "moderate" Abbas also follows a policy of gradual takeover. That's the real reason eastern Jerusalem is such a key point for them, not because it holds any holiness to Muslims (as proven by the recent rocket attacks), but it would demonstrate that all of Israel is up for grabs if the Jews are willing to relinquish any part of our most holy city.
41. Silly terrorists putting on a show. Laughable
My Planet Israel ,   LA-Jerusalem   (12.07.12)
A brood of haters, murderers and the most prejudice mongrels the world has ever know. Yet the silly world sits back and watches, reports, photographs, etc., as if they have any right to 'humanity'. We live in a sick world that accepts such. What insanity we endure on this rock. Pure insanity.
42. Did those 2 Islamic Jihad trash leaders accompany him?
Alan ,   SA   (12.07.12)
43. #34 Oh. I thought he was listening for sounds from tunnels
Alan ,   SA   (12.07.12)
44. Hamas offer palestinians more of the 4 M s
(12.07.12)
Misery, Morbidity, Martyrdom, and Mashaal.
45. Mashaal in Gaza
Michael Strong ,   New York, USA   (12.07.12)
Most of the posts here are by racist people - all they talk about killing, killing - how about if they kill your leaders who were terrorists at one time and still are.
46. Another scam garbage added to the list
Avram Goldsmith ,   Toronto, Canada   (12.07.12)
How Pals promote two state solution???Or need new fertilizer for Gaza land????
47. #39 - Always the fool
Amichai ,   Huntsville, US   (12.07.12)
You're quoting Joel chapter FOUR, not 3. And you conveniently omit the rest of the chapter which describes that how Ha'shem will return to Zion and He will be a stronghold to the children of Israel (v16). He will judge the nations for the violence against Jews and Egypt & Edom will be a desolation (v19). He will hold Israel innocent (v21). Perhaps you might want to leave Egypt soon if you think this part of Joel is in motion.
48. In The First Pic Of This Article
(12.07.12)
JUST WHO IS THAT MASKED man? Is it the Lone Ranger? Nah it's ISRAEL'S Future Neighbor, A Cowardis Terrorist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All dressed up and no where to go!!!!!!!
49. Palestine in the Bible 2
observer ,   Egypt   (12.07.12)
The book of Joshua is full of bloody gore on how God delivered on his promise, but there are no sources outside the Bible that verify that the whole of Palestine was conquered and occupied by Jews. If the Book of Joshua is to be believed, then it means that justification for a Jewish homeland is based on land taken by war 3,300 years ago and lost by war 2600 years ago. By that logic, Americans should give the southwest territory back to the Mexicans and the rest to the nation back to the Indians.
50. Palestine in the Bible ?
observer ,   Egypt   (12.07.12)
Genesis 39:1, Now Joseph had been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, had bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there. Genesis 42:3, And Joseph's ten brothers went down to buy corn in Egypt. So, at time of Joseph evey one in the region knew the way from Palestine to Egypt. Even Joseph's ten brothers went down (from north to south) to Egypt to just buy corn. Then why did it take Moses, and over a million people, forty years to reach the Promised land? Because the Promised land was faraway in Kashmir where climbing the mountains was the aliyah (physically ascending). It was found impossible to feed a million people in the journey but if those million+ hold hands in one straight line they could have reached Palestine.
51. To no 39 It refers to Philistea not Palestine
(12.07.12)
Palestine was the name given by Romans to Judea and Samaria because of the 220 years of war against the Jews. It was like wanting to erase the memory but.... The Philsteans were people derived from the Phoenitians they were situated in Gaza primarely. Bith disapear with the invasion of Salmanazar to the Jewish Kingdom of the North As for >Tiro and Sido are part of Lebanon. So don't try to create confussion. You arabs like to twist history, Like saying Jews don't have any conexetion with Jerusalem a city founded by a Jewish King. King David. A place bought to the Jebusites. Never the capital of an arab government. Saladin leberated Jerusalem from the crizades but never made it his capital. His two main capitals were Cairo and then Damascus Jews survived Greece,Rome, Babylonia, Old Egypt, the Inquisition, the Holocaust . If this is not a sign for you,,then you are for more surprises. Against all logic Israel lives and each day stronger

Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (12.07.12)
Hitler is a good example of why being passive is not the answer. Most Jews have gotten it and you have not. Defending oneself against terrorists is not racist. You have a lot to learn Randy.
53. The root of the problem?
Rolo Tamasi ,   San Francisco   (12.07.12)
“ . . . workers set up . . . a 13-meter-high (43-foot-high) replica of an M-75 . . . missile . . . ‘Made in Gaza’ was written on the rocket.” A Freudian analyst would certainly have something to say about this display.
54. 2 states
yakov ,   miami,jerusalem   (12.07.12)
Hamass is the guarantee there will never be a fakestinian state
55. n 39
aline ,   israel   (12.07.12)
Could you read Joel more carefully. you do not seem to understand it that much...good reading! By the way no mention of Palestine belonging to the Arab nowhere in the Bible!
56. @45 the antiisraeli
Gallula ,   Paris   (12.07.12)
Who are you to compare the situations? Your brain is rotten like these rats whose purpose is to kill more and more Jews. They glorify the death in the male of their satanic coran book.
57. The root of the problem is always Israeli retreat.
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.08.12)
The root of the problem is always Israeli retreat. Had Israel stayed in Gaza, we'd still have beautiful Gush Katif. We wouldn't have the war, terror and suffering from Gaza we have now. The exact same thing is true about Lebanon. The way to end Israeli suffering is to end Israeli retreat and retake all our abandoned lands.
58. #7 Dave Brazo;
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (12.08.12)
Up until now nothing has worked trying to get peace with Gaza Bumping off Mahal could be a good straring point, with him having the "Peace of the Dead"
59. #39, it says "districts of Philistia", not "Palestine"
Jake   (12.08.12)
There is no mention of Palestine in the Bible.
60. Fortunately he did not actually 'kiss' the ground
Jake   (12.08.12)
of the Holy Land (that would be a Jewish custom). He just bumped his forehead on it in "prayer".
