Roha: Why does it matter? It matters because even when Jews started returning home in small numbers, the local Arab population turned to the Ottoman’s to prevent this from happening. They carried out violent attacks all the time and were not interested in sharing. This holds true during the Mandate as well. If peace will happen it will only do so when true sharing comes about. And that’s where you should be placing all your efforts instead selling lies and pushing Palestinian Arabs further up the tree. Let us hear you call on Muslims to support Jews praying on the Temple Mount? When this happens we will know that peace has somewhat of a chance, and not a second before.
If you were born in Palestine prior to 1915 and wanted to travel, you turned to your Ottoman landlords and received travel papers from them. You never received a “Palestinian passport” because there was never a state called Palestine.
If you were born in Mandated Palestine and wanted to travel, you turned to your English “guardians” and received a British passport. You never received a “Palestinian passport” because there was never a state called Palestine.
No matter how many times you try to invent Palestinian Arab history, you will always come up against the truth. The Arabs in Palestine always viewed themselves as being part of the Arab world, either Sunni or Shi’ite and had no national aspirations in the area called Palestine prior to 1964.
Tlaib’s grandmother was never a Palestinian. She was an Arab, living in the area called Palestine that was never controlled by “Palestinians”. The political movement that was established in 1964 began the process for the movement today that is confusing many, including RobertHenryEller. The Jews have more claim to being called “Palestinians” that the Arabs do. After the Jewish rebellion again Rome and the Romans destroyed and killed, they changed the name of the area that contained mostly Jews. Islam was only introduced to the world about 700 years later. Laib’s grandmother and her ancestors, do not want to accept any history that has the Jews living once again in their historic homeland. Enough with the false stories already.
I would place a major wager that Larry has no zero idea what the Islamic Hadith’s are, never mind what they say. Because if he did he would be in total shock after he realized how violent and backward some of the thinking is. There is no modern interpretation of the Koran, nor the Hadiths, that allows for Jews to live independently as free people practicing their religion in the Middle East. There is no modern interpretation that allows any kind of sharing with Jews. The message is that Jews need to convert or die. Larry and Philip and all those naive schmucks prefer to remain lazy instead of doing the real homework and research.
Pay attention Ossinev. Twenty seven years ago, when the idiots were shoving Oslo down our throats, we said why it would not work. We are saying now that a one state also will not work. The reason and the problem is not with Jews but with Muslims. Islam will not allow a state where Jews can lead, in any form. You need to read and understand the Quran to know what I am talking about.
HarryLaw, why don’t you just admit it, that you are not able to acknowledge anything good that Netanyahu and/or Trump may have done or may ever do. The Arabs continue to disappoint and you blindly shove your support into their laps, in this frenzied dance of perpetual love. You need to ask yourself why.
One day you will also understand that there is no room for another full blown state in the region. Israel is just too small and places like Jerusalem, cannot be split down the middle into two cities and then expect peace. Israel was and is still willing to share. The Muslims however, are not. The Quran does not permit sharing, and instructs the Muslim to be dominant. Try to understand this.
Come on Philip, you have to agree that Netanyahu has done some very good things? No?
How about that Israel is the only stable country in the entire Middle East? How about that the standard of living of every Israeli, Druze, Christian, Muslim and Jew has improved under his leadership. Are you not noticing the amount of Israeli Muslims who have come out in support of the Jewish State and have openly confirmed that they do not see Israel as a discriminatory state. This only goes to prove that you are wrong, you have been wrong all along and you continue to support something that will result in everyone losing.
What are you talking about? On average, the Palestinians are enjoying a higher quality of live, better education and healthcare. Stop believing everything that is fed to you intravenously.
Hey Zogbi, why do you call him corrupt before he has been indicted and convicted? Of, of course, this is the way of the corrupt Left.
Whether is is monolithic or monotheistic, the message is the same (damn word suggester and damn those who will excuse evil.)
