Shekels

[ForeverYoung436]

Just saw Jeopardy, where they referenced Israeli currency--shekels. It's the same currency they had 2000 years ago. And Hebrew is the same language they spoke in that land 2000 years ago. They also celebrate the same national holidays that Jesus observed 2000 years ago (like Passover and Hanukkah). Can the so-called Palestinians make the same claim? No, which is why they try to destroy every archeological artifact on the Temple Mount.

All I got is a fistful of shekels...

Shekels were reinvented when Israel was recreated. Both are modern.

There's no such people as the "Palestinians." They came from Jordan and other countries.

Perfect example of how to disenfranchise a people. Claim they don’t exist even if they have been there thousands of years.

The land and people were referred to as Palestine and Palestinian when it was part of the Ottoman empire in the 1800s. As far as I know there were no Jews there yet.

Are you THAT utterly ignorant? Sheesh.

Nobody that retarded should be allowed to post.

Jewish people have lived there for 3500 years. Where the heck do you think the name "Jerusalem" came from, dunce?

Actually there is a written account of how great an expanse of land the Jews originally owned. You probably have a copy of the book it was written in somewhere in your house, maybe in a closet or a bookshelf. If you don't, you could probably find it in a public library or something.

Unfortunately, that book doesn't have any pictures in it, because they didn't have cameras back then. So I'll post this one...

Which is older Judaism or Islam ? And if Jews weren't there before the 1800's. Please Explain why Muslims had to Destroy the Temple that was already on the Temple Mount. Before they could Build their Mosque? Just wondering? You are an idiot !just want to point that out. Not the Temple part, The You're and Idiot part.

One cannot disenfranchise that which has never been enfranchised.

Then you knew wrong. Jews have been living in the Palestinian region for thousands of years.

Sure. You just start out claiming they don’t exist. They aren’t a real people. They did it to the Jews. You do it now to the Palestinians.

A Japanese guy came up with this:

A Japanese View of the Palestinians

"If you are so sure that " Palestine , the country, goes back through most of recorded history," I expect you to be able to answer a few basic questions about that country of Palestine :

1. When was it founded and by whom?
2. What were its borders?
3. What was its capital?
4. What were its major cities?
5. What constituted the basis of its economy?
6. What was its form of government?
7. Can you name at least one Palestinian leader before Arafat?
8. Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or now, leaves no room for interpretation?
9. What was the language of the country of Palestine ?
10. What was the prevalent religion of the country of Palestine ?
11. What was the name of its currency? Choose any date in history and tell what was the approximate exchange rate of the Palestinian monetary unit against the US dollar, German mark, GB pound, Japanese yen, or Chinese yuan on that date.
12. And, finally, since there is no such country today, what caused its demise and when did it occur?"

So? A people is not determined by nationhood, a founding or a currency.

It is just an attempt to deny a people their rights to exist. Ironic given those same deniers fight tooth and nail against those who deny the Jews there rights to exhist.

So what makes the Palestinians "a people"? Before Israel was established by the Jews in modern times, they were just people living in a certain area, so what makes them "a people" now?

Sel identification, common culture, every people starts somewhere. Is there a magical date that determines when a peop,e becomes a peop,e?

Just stop. Who is denying whose right to exist? Are the Israelis firing thousands of cheap Iranian-made missiles into the Gaza?

"In the cycle of violence, rocket attacks alternate with Israeli military actions. From the outbreak of the Al Aqsa Intifada through March 2013, 8,749 rockets and 5,047 mortar shells were fired on Israel, while Israel has conducted several military operations in the Gaza Strip..."

I know it was historically Jewish, I was responding to people who claimed Palestine and palestinian were never a thing. I did not know whether it had been continuously occupied by the Jewish people or not.

In fact,they haven't existed as "a people" for thousands of years. They only became "a people" in the middle of the last century.
