The Olive Branch

I believe that we talked about Jews leaving Arab countites after 1948. I said that some Arab Jews left to Palestine out of fear, but I haven’t seen any evidence of the Iraqi army, entering an Iraqi town and forcing the Jews to the borders. The Arab countries did not do that. Condemning the Arabs of...

The Israelis and the Palestinians have to compromise. Taking back ten thousands out of hundreds of thousands and not allowing them back to their villages is not a compromise. What do you call a compromise. If Israel ends it racist policies and allow the non-Jews Israelis to go back to their villag...

I believe in compromise because I see it as the only way out. I don’t see the issues as an issue of refugee absorption. Israel has to do what it can in solving the refugees problem, and she can start at home. Emad who do you see as being involved in this compromise you talk of? You mention Israel ...

Peter, I don’t think or believe that I should have a Kuwaiti citizenship simply because I was porn in Kuwait. Not all countries have automatic citizenship law. You may use that as an excuse for Israel’s racist and unjust acts. You’re arguing that Israel can do it because someone else in the world d...

peter, You are not just rewriting history; you are denying facts and manufacturing some too. They are Israeli Citizens; maybe you don’t consider them to be true citizens because they are not Jews. You may justify Israel’s practice of racism and injustice any way you want and use any excuse to jusif...

This is Humanity's ugly side.

I don't think that anyone of us is or trying to be rude.
We just call it as we see it, and sometimes we see things differently.

I guess if the companied Arab forces succeeded, our struggles for independence whould have been with Jordan and Egypt not Israel. I guess not. The PLO charter: Article 24.

Read your history peter, don't rewrite it. I'm not re-writing anything....the event happened in Nov. 1948. In 1952 people attempted to "return", that was after the war. After the war, Jews didn't go to their homes in the Old city, Jerusalem, as a matter of fact , they weren't allowed to e...

Read your history peter, don't rewrite it.

You both know that if you are a Jew and met the Israeli government standard definition of who is a Jew; you would be entitled to financial grants and subsidized housing and other benefits. And if you are an Israeli Jew living abroad you are eligible for government grants and help in moving back to ...

Madagascar was also.

Are they all Jewish homelands? The goal of the Zionist Organization was the return of the Jews to their homeland.

Because Haifa is part of my homeland. Kuwait is not my homeland and Uganda was never on my mind.
Uganda and Argentina were a possible place for the Zionist Organization to build the State of Israel as a homeland of the Jewish people.

Robi, 1. I described Israel as a racist state because of its laws that discriminate between a Jew and a non Jew, and because the government doesn’t enforce it own civil right laws for the minorities. 2. The Palestinians are not asking for and don’t want the population transfer , this policy is bein...

what part are you asking about?

.

peter,
You implement the policy and work on the details as part of the implementation process.

I didn't call for replacing Israel and i am not calling for that. I am not sure how you came to that conclusion. very easily, but what the heck let me hear it again....what is a realizable future and realistic solution in your own words. Peter, I think that Israel must make peace with its own Arab ...

Margie,
I am calling for peace and cooperation between Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.

You're right we need to move forward and Israel is prepared to have a 23rd Arab state established alongside her.

Attempting to replace Israel isn't reality and it isn't a solution.

Margie,
The Arabs and Jews in Palestine lived peacefully for a long time. The problem started when the Zionist, Jordan and Egypt start dividing it among themselves. I honestly don’t know if there would be a state of Israel or not. I don’t have a crystal ball.

We are allowed to have our tiny slice. that tiny slice is the homeland of other people too. Coexistence not replacing them should’ve been the goal, and coexistence should be our goal now. Separate but equal. Sorry but coexistence is not what would have happened had the combined arab armies succeede...

Peter, Peter, We can go back and forth forever exchanging historical facts and that will lead us to nowhere. If we want to solve this issue we both have to sit down and compromise. We need to move on implementing the solution. I think we both know what we think and what we want. I hope for coexisten...

My feelings are fine Atilla.
I don’t blame you; people are nuts stay away from them especially the flag wavers.

At the time you’re referring to, we were ruled by the British Mandate of Palestine a government that was forced on us by the super powers at that time (Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan). Before the British Occupation we were part of the Ottoman emptier. I don’t think that I avoided answering ...

This country of Palestine never existed, yet rather than ACCEPT the fact that we are willing to have a 23rd Arab country be established next to us, you are bent on claiming our history as your own. Peter, I am a Palestinian and Jewish History is part of Palestine’s history. Whether we like it or no...

Atilla, I don’t believe that anyone should leave. We need a timeout. Unconditional ceasefire effective immediately, so the people in Holly Land can enjoy a day of peace in the City of Peace. I think we are lost in the details and missing the big picture. I pray, so God would remove the fear from our...

Is forced abortion or limiting the number of kids a non Jew can have an option that you are willing to consider? You've got quite a nasty imagination there Emad. What kind of people do you mix with? No I don’t have a nasty imagination Margie. I know what the Nazi did, I know what happened in Cambod...

I didn't claim palestine, there was no country existing there. Where was the government? What type of government was there? Who was the president or prime minister? What was the currency? What was the flag? You conveniently didn't respond to a few things though, why don't you have citizenship in Ku...

in the custody of the Arabs How, enlighten us, How is it the responsibilty of the Jews to rescue the "palestinians" from the grip of the "ARABS"??? Akiva, Why do feel that is necessary for you to but words in my mouth? When did I ask for your rescue? Does shall not bear false wi...

ahhh and kuwait won't give you citizenship even though you're born there, imagine that. You weren't even born in Israel, so you can forget about citizenship there, Haifa was never your home and you never lived there. What an interesting and different place the world would be if everybody did the sa...

My familiy were expelled in 1948.

So I guess you really don't have any interest in forming a palestinian state with all the inherent evil that nationalism brings. All you have to do then is find a country that is willing to give you citizenship, not an easy task considering that the only Arab country showing willingness is Jordan. ...

So we agree that Israel is a Jewish Country, thank you.
