A Question of Arab Unity-A Cause for Unity -18Feb08 -Ep4-Pt2

Part4 of this nine-part series, we look at how in practice, the conflict has been as divisive politically as it has been unifying emotionally. While in theory subscribing to solidarity and unity with the Palestinians, many Arab states have either made false promises or else withheld aid for personal political gain.

..and "nakbah" means catastrophe.. this is what happened in 1948 when Israel (with military help of Britain, France and USA) was created by invading a sovereign land owned by arabs...

why do you think the arabs attacked the zionist army? would you not want your country to do the same if it were invaded by a foreign terrorist army?

ya quds ina qadimoun!

because its a strategic place between Syria and Egypt , thats why they choose that land to be the home of the jews

[mannousha]

oh .. so sorry ... so ur people came invaded our country ..took most of our land.. and made us feel threatened.. yet you were defending yourselves against the arabs who had no business with u from the start.. if you are so defensive.. why didnt you freaking kill Hitler instead of us? ...

Defense my freaking ***!

[mannousha]

they didnt say that .. they didnt say that its the most important place... they said its very significant. . but the geographical location to jerusalem is the more important to arabs than the location of mecca because of keeping main powers apart like Syria and Egypt ..

I agree with you ... Na7na Jarab.. Not Arab!

a yr. old but a good point.b/c the arab leaders have oppressed their ppl. so bad IF they have normal relations w/Israel or let the Palestinians in-b/c they are educated and skilled...they will take over the country. Its our leaders. they trapped themselves by fear. - of their own ppl. more than Israel. All they care about is their seats. IF the ppl. were educated w/true leaders peace will happen. And trade normalized. Now? we are too weak to make war&Not educated enough to make peace.

peace.

Palestine for palestinians, the jewish zoinists came from Europe and the got supported by USA wapons, so the zionists basically occupied Palestian by force. and why would palesinian gave up there homeland for the jewish who came to invate and excal palestinans from there land. Look at the map before 1948, you will fine Palestine. Isreal is just creation from the west. so they can do there dirty work in Mideast.

there was no sovereign Arab state in Palestine then. it was land inhabited by Jews, Muslims and Christians. during the world war it was liberated from Turkey by Britain (with the little help of Jews and Arabs). The land was designed for both Jews and Arabs but Arabs rejected the plan and invaded. it was never exclusively Arab land and hopefully never will

May I ask you question?

Interesting and educating but they lie telling that Jerusalem is the most important place for Arab muslims. It's at most third, the first is Mecca. Jerusalem is holiest place for Jews. Arabs have 22 states and they still want to kill Jews and take their only land... why Arabs in other countries don't allow Palestinians to live as humans in cities in houses left by expelled Jewish refugees but keep them in camps like a cattle? It's Arab societies who treat Palestinians as subhumans.
