Bubi ,   Raanana, Israel   (11.29.13)
Tha day the Arabs began the "Israeli-Arab" conflict. And over the years they have deliberately intensified it, to their own detriment.
2. Nakba ? they alone are to blame for it !

we are on our way to restore the Judaic-Hebraic civilization and to be a bridge between faith and reason & west and orient. through liberty-minded leadership of manhigut yehudit
4. Just take a look!
Abraham Nachmias ,   Petach Tikva IL   (11.29.13)
From one side, in the rest of Israel we care about our soldiers and brothers. From the other side, in the Republic of Tel Aviv, a bunch of iluminated intelectuals grieve for thei arab brothers! Can you understand the difference???
5. As important the vote was at the time, it was not part of...
NL Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (11.29.13)
...international law, since the UN General Assembly can't, by definition, enact laws. The General Assembly's vote was simply a proposal and a recommendation, rejected, categorically, by the Arabs, of course. The only legal basis on which Israel came into being are the three fundamental acts in international law: 1) San Remo conference decisions, 1920 2) League of Nations decisions, 1922 3) UN Charter, article 80, 1945 Sadly, to this day, no leader among the Arabs - Muslim-Arabs to be precise, not Christian or Druze Arabs!! - is ready to accept Israel's legal right to be, to exist on ANY parcel of land of the Jewish people's ancestral homeland. And, most are eager to bring about Israel's very demise.
6. LET'S PUT THINGS STRAIGHT !
FO ,   Belgium   (11.29.13)
Let us never forget, but keep in mind constantly, that neither the Peel Commission, nor the UN General Assembly vote on November 29, 1947, had any binding power, but were just proposals. Anyhow, the UN could not violate its own Charter, namely Article 80, confirming all the League of Nations decisions, and to implement them, including the Mandate for Palestine, that gave the Jews the irrevocable right to settle between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River, including the Golan Heights, with the prospect of an Independent Jewish State. It is important to remind that the League of Nations, at about the same time, voted the Mandates for Iraq and Syria-Lebanon, territories that became independent within borders as decided by the League. Only Palestine, intended to become the Jewish State, was considered as a sausage that anyone could cut off pieces: for Syria the Golan Height, for Egypt the Gaza strip, and Jordan, an artificial country created by the British in total violation of the League's decisions, on 77% of Mandatory Palestine, and if this was still not enough, occupied the West Bank till 1967.
7. Palestinians *DO* Have Roght of Return
emanon ,   USA   (11.29.13)
All Jews that were displaced by British colonial powers or arab landlords have the right to return to Israel. What's the problem?
8. Tel Aviv and the ultra-Left
Danny ,   London England   (11.29.13)
Are the ultra-Leftists in Tel Aviv with their Nakba film event the same Leftists who manage to avoid IDF service? At least the Haredim who do not do the IDF are strengthening Yiddishkeit.
9. Holocaust denial, Nakba denial, same thing, racist haters
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (11.29.13)
10. No. 9, Nakba = Kachba are the same thing, Obamacare zombie
