East Jerusalem settlements of "particular concern" - UN Chief

[panafilmxxx]

Arab countries, has not granted the refugees real civilian status but preferred to leave them permanently under the protection of UNRWA, as second-class residents on the outskirts of Damascus. And why do they preserve the refugee heritage? In order to use it as a weapon in the fight against Israel – the fight that has already made the Palestinian refugees miserable for tens of years – a fight in which the terror organizations are the sole winners.

Only one group of people have continuously lived in Israel for the past 3,700 years - the Jews. Jerusalem, in particular, has had a Jewish majority since the 1840s, 40 years prior to the beginnings of Zionism. Seventy-five percent of the land in east Jerusalem, which the press calls "historically Arab east Jerusalem," has been owned by Jews since 1947.

No idiot based on Torah Palestinians (Philistinies) were there long before Abraham was born.

@perazh No, the name "Palestine" is BASED on the Philistines, and the Philistines did not occupy the land before, they were at war. The Philistines are long gone, and the Palestinians are Arabs descended from Eastern regions, and are not in any way related to this land, save through an Arab conquest which put them there.

@warpedcomedy The Palestinians have lived in that land for over two thousand years. The romans originally came up with the name Palestine, which was indeed based on the name phillistines, they continued to live there under the rule of the ottomans and then the British. In 1922 for example, the palestinians outnumbered "israelis" by 10 to 1. It wasn't until the seizure of land by Israel in 1948 that jews en masse started to emigrate to the "holy land"

I am not Palestinian, but my heart is with all of them , including those who have been massacred, humiliated, imprisoned and prevented from returning to their land. What israel is doing to the Palestinians is as cruel as the holocaust of Jews, blacks, etc ... where are the punishments for israel? Nothing!! So they feel entitled to decimate all Palestinians. This must stop now! Viva Palestina!!!
