they must have heard lots of israelis claiming tel aviv is not is israel either. a separate country.... esp in last elections... whether lydda ever got to be in israel, of course, is a totally different matter. historians keep arguing how we got it. so who knows? whose map? scandinavians can only spell Palestine, and apparently so too the UN, the Eurocrats, and now the Serbs. it's viral so no diplomacy or antibiotics will work. a kind of plague?

When nonsense news like this..i.e. the words of some low paid, know nothing airline person making an announcement in some forgone, backwater airport in a dusty corner of the world..makes the headlines...we must be in very peaceful times! WHO CARES? Do we really have to report every slight or uninformed comment?

one if the most terrible acts of european
terrorism against Bosnian Serb Muslims
population took place in Srebrenica,
the worst massacre in europe since the Holocaust and World War II.

Tel Aviv was built on a land BOUGHT by Jewish pionneers on a land which was SOLD to them by different effendis ,who never put a foot on it-because it was only sand and made a good benefit .

BTW ,for the last 5 hundred years before Sykes -Picot ,this land" ",stolen " from the Palestinians Arabs ,did i not belong to them ,but to the Turks ..

Please read a book sometimes !
