Does that help Israel bulldoze Christian homes in East Jerusalem?

Jerusalem is a hole to begun with*, and if any of your last claims are anything to go by its another Rachel pancake.

*Just like Mecca and these other 'religious' cities.

Dr. Wafa Sultan, Human Rights Activist, Among Time magazine's 100 heroes and pioneers whose power, talent or moral example is transforming our world Wafa Sultan - The 2006 TIME 100 - TIME

I believe that any nation that grants equal opportunity to every citizen, regardless of race, religion, political affiliation, or gender, thereby, establishes its moral legitimacy.

According to this principle, Israel stands alone in the Middle East region, as a nation with moral legitimacy: it grants all citizens equal rights for men and women alike, freedom of religion, and freedom of speech and of the press. Not a single Arab or Muslim country in the surrounding region does the same. Nor do any of those Arab and Muslim nations allow their citizens personal freedom, or the right to maintain and express opposing points of view.

These essential qualities of life provide oxygen for the human soul; they are the kind of basic nourishment that is desperately missing in all of Israel's Muslim neighbors. Yet, the so-called humanitarian aid organizations at the United Nations direct all their energy to act against anything and everything Israel does. Let me ask: as every human being deserves to live in dignity, why has an enormous unbalanced portion of global aid gone mostly to Palestinians, while millions of underprivileged people all over the world suffer genuine, life-threatening deprivation?

Here is why: The United Nations time and again focuses its power on the perpetual manufacturing of false anti-Israel accusations. Painting Palestinians as perennial underdogs provides the perfect cover for their subversive effort. Without doubt, this trend encourages hatred and violence against the Jewish people in Israel and everywhere else. And that is exactly its point.

Those who love liberty and life will strengthen their ties and warm relations with Israel, and stand with her. Israel will continue to shine its light among all nations.

Diana Buttu is a Palestinian-Canadian
Diana Buttu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WTF is Palestinian Canadian? Jews were Palestinians during the British Mandate prior to Israeli statehood.

So, she's a Jewish Fakestinian? What, you can't meet a nice Jewish boy in Israel?

"Palestinian" can mean a person who is born in the geographical area known prior to 1918 as "Palestine", or a former citizen of the British Mandate territory called Palestine, or an institution related to either of these. Using this definition, both Palestinian Arabs and Palestinian Jews were called "Palestinians".

Before the establishment of the State of Israel, the meaning of the word "Palestinian" didn't discriminate on ethnic grounds, but rather referred to anything associated with the region. The local newspaper, founded in 1932 by Gershon Agron was called The Palestine Post. In 1950, its name was changed to The Jerusalem Post.

In 1923, Pinhas Rutenberg founded the Palestine Electric Company, Ltd. (later to become the Israel Electric Corporation, Ltd.) There was a [Jewish] Palestine Symphony Orchestra, and in World War II, the British assembled a Jewish Brigade to fight the Axis Powers that was known as the Palestine regiment.

Since the establishment of Israel, its citizens are called Israelis, while the term Palestinians usually refers to the Palestinian Arabs.

That would be a Palestinian who was kicked out of Palestine by Israel and ended up in Canada.

We might as well acknowledge that both Israel and Palestine exist since the existence of a state depends on people, not international organizations accepting it as a fact.

Isreal exists because enough Jewish people live there to make it a fact.

Palestine exists because enough non-Jews live there to make that a fact, too.

I have been reading Republican's election propaganda and have found that some of them believe that all the area belongs to Israel. This I imagine would result in them supporting war against, if we are honest, defenceless civilians and removing them from their land. That is the material outcome derived from psychologically denying they are there - of refusing to recognise the Palestinian people, whatever they want to call themselves, their history and the State promised to them.

It is going to be interesting on a scary level seeing how things progress over the next few years. Good chance the economic situation will get even worse. People say we are in a worse situation than the 30's. My daughter was watching a program - worse case scenario - war and obviously the ME will be the place.

or maybe Obama will be re-elected. I think he has been a big disappointment but I also think it is not impossible if he is re-elected he may actually show he has some guts and get the framework sorted out for a just peace.

The next few years are going to see the outcome I believe. Either all the Palestinians killed or thrown out of their homeland or at last the world comes to it's sense and decided to act in a just way. A lot of things will decide this outcome - not least the consciousness of all people.

Historian Paul Johnson...

The lack of symmetry between the risks taken by Arabs and by Israelis is one result of a different view of the sanctity of human life. The Jewish faith was the first religion to preach this sanctity and to magnify the value of each individual human being in the eyes of his Creator — hence, equally, in other human beings. This is the main reason that Mosaic law differs so markedly in humanity and reason from all the other fiercely retributive codes of the ancient Near East. The value placed on human life by Jews has steadily increased over the centuries, as a response to persecution and, above all, to the Nazi attempt at extermination of the entire people. Israel itself was created as a refuge and fortress in which Jewish lives would be safe from annihilation. It is thus the physical embodiment of the principle that individual life is sacred.

By contrast, the Islamic-Arab concept of "the war of the martyrs" places no value on human life except as a sacrifice in the holy war. A warrior gains infinitely more by losing his life than by preserving it, for then he gains eternal life, and his status as a martyr is enhanced by the number of dead Israelis — "sons and daughters of Satan" — whom he takes with him.

Sahih Bukhari Hadeeth

The Prophet said... I would love to be martyred in Al1ah's Cause and then get resurrected and then get martyred, and then get resurrected again and then get martyred and then get resurrected again and then get martyred.

Guy Milliere, Eminent Professor of History and Political Science, Sorbonne, Paris

No one had heard of a Palestinian people before the mid-1960s. They did not exist. Israel under the British Mandate until Israel' s Independence in 1948 was called Palestine. All Jews who were born there until i948 had the word « Palestine » stamped on their passports. The current Palestinians are those Arabs who, for a variety of reasons, decided to leave the land during the 1947 War of Independence, when five countries – Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq – attacked the 600,000 people in the fledgling state of Israel the day after its birth, hoping to kill it in the crib.
