I don’t want you to leave; I want you to stop trying to drive me away.

We’ve had multiple wars. Each time the Palestinians get screwed. It’s time to stop, Hamas and Hezbollah notwithstanding. A Palestinian state next door to Israel could be the perfect middle eastern Switzerland/Luxemburg intellectual center, tax-free zone and banking power. But not while all the energy of the Palestinians is wasted on war.

Besides, Gaza has (reputedly) some of the world’s best beaches–can you imagine 5 star hotels to host the winter hordes from Norway and England? How about a high speed train to link Cairo to Baghdad (there is a bridge or tunnel proposal to cross Israel). How about the Port of Gaza being THE transport hub to transship cargo from the Med to the Red Sea?

Beats war any day.

And point of fact, is that the Greeks DID tell the Turks to get out of Greece, despite the Ottoman Turks claiming it was part of their Moslem empire for centuries. Like the Greeks, we are asserting our rights to live in our aboriginal homeland as free people, not subject to Arab imperialistic ambitions.

And finally, she says herself she was ‘born and raised in Chicago”–see the post above. That makes her an American by birth and citizenship and Jordanian by citizenship. If SHE has a right to live in Palestine, as a returning Palestinian, then Jews have the right to live in Israel as returnees as well.

Rihab–yes, go back–to America where she was born.She’s an American and a Jordanian, NOT a Palestinian. If by your logic some Jews don’t have a right to live in Israel because their families were made refugees and driven out, and Arab-think says they can’t return, then by that same logic an Arab girl born in Chicago isn’t a Palestinian and has no right to call it ‘her country.’

She was born in Ramallah, Palestine not Chicago, USA.

They are the Caananites, history says they are, yes Arabs from the Arabian peninsula came in conquered and lived with the Canaanites but that doesn’t mean that the Palestinians/Canaanites evaporated into thin air. They are living on the land that they’ve lived on since forever and they knew no other home but Palestine! Where do you want them to go?? Do you want them to live on Mars?? Do they have HOMES that they CHOSE TO LEAVE that they can go back to??? Palestinians have no other home and they’ve known no other home unlike the Jewish Russians, Ukranians, Moroccans, Egyptians, French, Germans, and Ethiopians!! How on earth can Jews be encompassed under that many racial groups and ethnicities and yet have the nerve to claim that they originate from Palestine. Yes, some of you might, but over the course of 1000 plus years you’ve migrated so much that you can’t claim that land anymore. It’d be like the Greeks telling the Turks to get out of Turkey because it used to be part of Greece, that wouldn’t make sense if it happened and therefore Israel’s entire existence makes no sense!!

We don’t want to be your dhimmis. We have a state of our own due to the UN partition (your counterparts in Pakistan are still smarting over the fact that they don’t rule-by-conquest all of India any more) and had you agreed to live in the Palestine created by the partition, you’d be a state also. Until you stop trying to drive us out by terror and murder, there won’t be peace.

Rihab–yes, go back–to America where she was born.She’s an American and a Jordanian, NOT a Palestinian. If by your logic some Jews don’t have a right to live in Israel because their families were made refugees and driven out, and Arab-think says they can’t return, then by that same logic an Arab girl born in Chicago isn’t a Palestinian and has no right to call it ‘her country.’

Hamzeh–try to quote a source that isn’t in Arab pockets. Everyone in America knows that the WRMEA is a Saudi-paid-for-pro-Arab lobby manned by the retired Arabists of the anti-Israel faction of the US State Department. Apart from the well-documented hate in the PA and other Arab societies textbooks, all anyone needs to do is turn on Arab television or watch the Arabs dancing in the street when Jews are killed.

Imam–”It is time for you to be gone
Live wherever you like, but do not live among us
It is time for you to be gone
Die wherever you like, but do not die among us
For we have work to do in our land ”

Thanks for the quote–see ‘Arab hate’ above, proof of. By the way, it’s OUR land. Go get your own–you have the whole middle east to live in. Oh, I forgot–your brethren don’t want you either….they stuck you all in camps, didn’t they? And they won’t let you live amongst them.

Donotmakefunofmyname–sure I can explain it–they’ve just spent two weeks being bombarded by Nasrallah’s killers, living in shelters, listening to their homes being blown into smithereens, hearing the sirens, the bombs. They’re simply returning the sentiment. I’ll take that ONE picture and put it up agains the hundreds of pictures of Palestinian kids dressed up in suicide belts and screaming “Kill the Jews” as a statement of comparative culture–the picture of Jewish girls stands alone and is an aberation caused by Hezbollah’s bombardment; genocidal play acting is a way of life in the hate-infested streets of Arabia.

Zionists are the source of hate and Evil.
Do not play DUMB. Enough whining, it aint going to fly anymore.

Sarit, I am not sure whether to laugh or feel completely disgusted here … laugh at your twisted logic or feel completely disgusted because you actually believe such logic.

I’d like to quote one of my favorite poets (whose poetry by the way was once suggested to be included in a new multicultural literature curriculum for israeli high school students, but of course that didn’t pass stating that israeli students are not ready for it…of course they’re not, because it is the truth)
It is time for you to be gone
Live wherever you like, but do not live among us
It is time for you to be gone
Die wherever you like, but do not die among us
For we have work to do in our land

Maybe when Arabs like you quit fomenting hate for people like me and my family, you can come back. Until then, go away–I’d rather be safe than burying my children because some soldier was careless enough to let Arab hate-mongers in.

Go away?? Go away from where?? Her country? Her land?? Maybe you should go away back to where your family migrated from and don’t give me that crap about it belonging to your ancestors 1000years ago because that’s all it is - a load of complete and utter crap. The land has always belonged to the Palestinians (or the Canaanites as known by YOUR faith), and whether or not God promised it to you is up for debate given that only the 14mln or so Jews (out of 6 billion people) in the world believe in that fantasy contract.

Israeli Textbooks and Children’s Literature Promote Hate and Racism:

I guess Arabs are not the only hate-mongers in this region; looks like Israel is too. And above all of that, it wants to start another war (after convincing the US to start the war on Iraq), so we can also call Israel a warmongering state too.

The suicide bombs? All justified according to Israel’s logic of self defense. According to Israel’s logic of self defense the targetting of innocent civilians is justified if your enemy even attacks a legitimate military target, not civilians.
