Shammar tribe

The tribe of Shammar (Arabic: شمّر Šammar) is an Arab Qahtanite tribe, descended from the ancient tribe of Tayy. It is one of the largest and most influential Arab tribes, with an estimated around 12 million members in the world: 3 million in Iraq, over 6.5 million in Saudi Arabia (concentrated in Ha'il), a Syrian population thought to exceed 0.5 million, and an unknown number in Jordan, Kuwait, and Qatar.[1] The current seat of the tribe's leadership is in the city of Mosul in Northern Iraq. In its "golden age", around 1850, the tribe ruled much of central and northern Arabia from Riyadh to the frontiers of Syria and the vast area known as Al Jazira in Northern Iraq....
In the 17th century, a large section of the Shammar left Jabal Shammar under the leadership of the Al Jarba and settled in Iraq, reaching as far as the northern city of Mosul, their current stronghold.
 
Iqrit (Arabic: إقرت‎‎ or إقرث, Iqrith), was a Palestinian Christian village, located 25 kilometres (16 miles) northeast of Acre. Originally allotted to form part of an Arab state under the 1947 UN Partition Plan, it was seized and forcefully depopulated by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, and their territory later became part of the new State of Israel.[6] All of its Christian inhabitants were forced to flee to Lebanon or the Israeli village of Rameh, after they were expelled by Jewish forces in 1948, and, despite the promise that they would be returned in two weeks' time, the villagers were never allowed to return. In 1951, in response to a plea from the Iqrit villagers, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled that the former residents of Iqrit be allowed to return to their homes. However, before that happened, the IDF, despite awareness of the Supreme Court decision, destroyed the previously Christian village on Christmas Day, 1951. Descendants to this day maintain an outpost in the village church, and bury their dead in its cemetery. All attempts to cultivate its lands are uprooted by the Israeli Lands Administration.[7]
 
a thread for us called "Palestinian commitment to peace." !


Dear MJB -- this is an issue I have studied extensively, and below you will find a deep and in depth dissertation regarding all the ways in which those Arabs who call themselves "Palestinians" have engaged so as to foster peace. I have left no stone unturned, have not left out even the tiniest detail and will provide you ALL the rich historical evidence of these proud people's long quest for peace since their invention in the 1960's.

here goes:

LOL! Dear Dogmaphobe. They need to write a book titled Palestinian Contributions To Peace, Mankind & Civilization to educate those Zionists to the truth about Palestinians.

Wasn't it wonderful how the Lebanese Christians cheered Israel for helping them from the Palestinians during Sabra & Shatila?
 
HEZBOLLAH THREATENS KEY ISRAELI NUCLEAR RESEARCH FACILITY
Genocidal enemies ratchet up tensions just across the Jewish State's border.

On August 13, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah threatened to bomb Israel’s Dimona nuclear research facility in the event of war between Israel and Hezbollah. Nasrallah made the threat via video linkup from an undisclosed hidden location while addressing a crowd of Shia supporters in the southern Lebanese village of Khiam. For all of his bravado, Nasrallah still finds it necessary to hide, and scurry from location to location for fear of being targeted by Israel.

This isn’t the first time that the terrorist leader issued such a threat. In February, he issuedsimilar sinister pronouncements during a speech commemorating the 9th anniversary of the liquidation of Imad Mughniyeh, Hezbollah’s chief special operations commander, who was eliminated in 2008 in a joint Mossad-CIA operation.

Nasrallah frequently issues threats to bomb civilian targets and other critical infrastructure in Israel. These threats are generally for internal public consumption but they are also directed at Israel as a form of psychological warfare. Nasrallah’s threats to target an ammonia storage plant in Haifa, Israel’s third largest city, likely factored into the decision by Israeli authorities to relocate the facility to a safer location further south, away from densely populated areas.

So you believe iran...:cuckoo:

U.S., British, German, Russian and every other intelligence service confirm the fact that Iran does not have nuclear weapons (they never had) or a nuclear weapons program, through periodic inspections. You are one of those tinhat nutters.:cuckoo:

A press preview on Saturday of “Jerusalem Lives” displayed works ranging from the abstract to the overtly political.

In one room, a four-wall photographic panorama surrounds visitors with images of the ring of Israeli settlements around Jerusalem.

In the garden, a green staircase climbs skywards from inside a mesh cage, seemingly referencing the confinement of the Palestinians by Israel’s occupation.

But the symbolism of the staircase, coming to a dead end in mid-air, is open to interpretation.


AFP
Curator Reem Fadda said the collection was meant to spark discussion of “cultural resistance” to the policies of Israel, which occupied east Jerusalem in 1967 and later annexed it in a move never recognised by the international community.

The West Bank and Gaza Strip were occupied in the same year but not annexed, and their occupants need special—and hard-to-get—Israeli permits to visit Jerusalem.



“The aim of this exhibition was really to provide a way for us to think in a creative way how can we resist this hegemony of Israeli occupation that is facing the city of Jerusalem through a cultural stance,” she told AFP in English.

Another goal of the show, she said, was to “present Jerusalem to the people of Palestine that can’t go to Jerusalem”.

In other words, they could not even open with an exhibit representing their identity. Everything is about opposing Israel’s history.

The following video was produced by the Legal Grounds Campaign, which works to secure Israel’s legal rights to the land in eastern Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, and to educate people about these issues. The video seeks to harness the power of satire to counteract the widely promulgated Palestinian narrative regarding the history of the region, including disputed territories.
