The statements above are not proper quotes fron the cited authors, and their proponderence on the internet is sickening. Just another campaign to villify Israel and Jews.

It is true however, that before Israel was created, there was no Palestinian people as a "people." There were tribes of Arabs in the area, but no national identity.

I think these are words of great Jewish leaders, who gave everything to give us Israel. They gave us back the land that Moses took us to. They gave us a home to go to when Hitler destroyed our families. It gives me tears in my eyes to read this because it makes me think of the strugle we have over come. It also gives me hope that we will succeed in protecting and saving our country.

the most arrogant people in the world, then we should ask them why are the Jews living around the world and not in Israel
i think every country should have all religions and they should treat people like humans and not animal even the Muslims have to learn that, They should open their eyes and see that god is every where in each one of us and we have to respect them even if they are poor or coloured or aliens. they are people after all we should learn to love and respect every man and woman.
