Africa & Middle East - December 2007

- what is the ONE issue that you are the most passionate about? e.g. which one topic really makes you angry, and gets you arguing your corner? APART from the middle east situation, that is. Am intrigued to read your replies!

My one issue...... hmmmmmm..... I am furious when I read about drunk drivers; so selfish and wicked.

You?

I know English is widely spoken in Israel, but I would like to try to speak any Arabic/Hebrew while I'm in Israel, I found a few website with some words, but if there was 10 words I should know, what would they be?

PS I leave in two days; I'll be there for 10 days while my wife is working

PSS I’ve really enjoyed viewing this section the last week, some very interesting topics, thanks for any help.

I mean, there is Iraqi Jews, Iranian Jews, Yemeni, Moroccan, Tunisian, Spanish, British, American, Russian, Ethiopian, but there are no one from “the land of Palestine”.
If you will search among all the Israelis you will not find any family was in Palestine before 1839… all of them immigrated to Palestine after 1839…. And it s not a secret they all admit it.
Why before this date there was not a single Jew it is their “promised land”?
Just wandering…
example for those who are not Israelis,
Ehud Olmert, the current Israeli prime minister immigrated from Ukraine
Ariel Sharon immigrated from Russia.
Yitzhak Rabin, Ukrainian immigrant.
Theodor Herzl is Austrian,
Golda Meir, Russian immigrant.
Ben Gurion, from Poland
Also here in yahoo answers,
Moneymaker, south African,
Paperback, British,
Ultra, American.....
so who was in the promised land.... is it only Arabs “Muslims and Christians”

That is what Theodor Herzl wrote in his book "The Jewish State" which it was published in 1896

Why he didn’t specify the land of Palestine if it is really the “Promised Land” for the Jews?

I understand that Israel especially Jerusalem has a great important to the Jews and it is a holy land for them but for the Jews who say G-d gave Israel to the Jews and G-d gave Jerusalem to the Jews, do you think G-d would give a land to those who don't whorship him and those who don't even believe in him?

Do those atheist Jews who belong to Europe or North America have the right of return to Israel?


Thanks and peace

سيدي الرئيس

في عيد ميلادك الكام وسبعين

كل سنة وأنت طيب

واحنا مش طيبين

كل سنة وأنت حاكم

واحنا محكومين

واحنا مظلومين

واحنا متهانين

ويا ترى يا حبيب الملايين

فاكرنا ولا احنا خلاص منسيين

فاكر المعتقلين

فاكر الجعانين

فاكر المشردين

فاكر اللي ماتو محروقين

فاكر الغرقانين

الله يكون في عونك - هاتفتكر مين وللا مين

في عيد ميلادك الكام وسبعين

بقول لك كلمتين

الأوله

شيلتنا طين

وهل تعلم أن النيل بقى رشاح

والجو أصبح بيئة والعيشة ولعة

والشرفا قلوبهم عالبلد والعة

وانت عاملهم مذبحة ولا بتاعة القلعة

والاقتصاد سداح

والسرقة بقت كفاح

ومصر متاحة بس للسياح

وعرض البلد بقى مستباح

والتانية

ورتنا الويل

دا الخطوة في عهدك بقت ميل

والضحك بقى نواح وعويل

والكوسة

عارف الكوسة

ممكن أقولك فيها موواويل

والجامعة بقت يا إما كباريه أو دار مسنين

والشباب معظمهم من غير خمرة سكرانين

والعلم عز على المتعلمين

والأساتذة بقم دجالين

والقادة بقم طبالين

واديني في الهايف يا حبيب الملايين

.

- this is just intended as a fun post, I'm not developing megalomania or anything! But just think: if you look at all that Islam and Judaism have contributed to the world, and then you add in the fact that Jews and Muslims are both very passionate, very dedicated, very loyal people - if we all stopped fighting and joined forces, would we rule the planet? Lol lol lol

I think our joint task force would be something like this:

Communications officers - me and B: we wouldn't need phones, we could both just shout. They'd probably hear us from Tel Aviv to Tehran!

Chief of staff for the Army - UltraNational. Would have to be! Deputy chief of staff: Hopeless

PR - Londoner In Israel, 'h', Muslim by Choice, MikeInRi - all diplomatic and try hard to be fair.

Overall leader - Michael J!

Sorry if I've left anyone out :)

Do you agree that there is a place for this in a modern society or should there be no barriers to men or women.....?

There are also gyms here that are exclusively for women so it cuts both ways ....

I am a vegetarian and animal lover. I will be traveling to Israel next year and want to prepare myself mentally for any animal suffering I might witness. I recently returned from Greece and was depressed most of the trip. There was a huge amount of stray dogs and cats roaming the streets looking for food. This was the case in all the cities we visited.

I just saw this mentioned on another question. She said that some ultra-Orthodox in Israel speak only Yiddish and consider it to be blasphemy to speak Hebrew. Does this have something to do with not accepting the State of Israel as legitimate? Or is there another reason?

I've been asked to recomend a certain lady to a friend of mine to consider as a future wife.
That may sound good to some of us but come on, can't he look for himself.
I find these situations very sticky and they give me an uneasy feeling.
what do you think??

If yes, is this the one and only answer for all Arab world to turn friendly to Jews and let them be in peace and harmony?
Does Israel hold the key for peace, but fanatisism blinds Jewish people and cannot see through this reality, all these years?
