(I apologize if this is a double post) Is there any way you could provide me with contact information for a midwife in this group. I am looking for a midwife who speaks English (preferably) or if not Arabic. It is not easy to get a referral locally.

Oh, how apposite women making peace and idiots making war with words.

(Yes, I mean the postering idiots here)

I am assuming you mean "Palestinians" when you say "they".

Well, "they" already have their own state-- Jordan. If you actually study the history of the region, you will discover that Jordan was formed with exactly that purpose-- to make it a home land for the arabs. However, the king Hussein, in a power grab, decided to invent the Jordanians...

But, yes, I agree with you, if only arab mothers loved their children more than they hated the jews!...

They still deserve to have their own country, If only they'd want that more then they want for the jewish state to be destroyed....

"West Ban" is an artificial construct designed to remove any legitimate Jewish claim may have for the land.

Most people are no longer aware that before 1967 "Palestinian" meant JEWISH! No Arab would have ever allowed themselves to be called that: they were Syrians, Egyptians or Jordanians.

In reality there has never existed a Palestinian nation in history. The name Palestine was created by the Romans for occupied Judea.

Yes, the native Hebrew names are Judea, Shomron, and Aza. In English we say Judea, Samaria and Gaza. In history-changing anti-Israeli language, they say West Bank. Just like "palestinian peoplehood" was invented by the chief terrorist Arafat, so was the term "West Bank" invented to eliminate jewish character of the land.

[BornWestern]

Judea and Samaria, you mean "Judea & shomron" and in English speaking nations they say "the west bank"...

[masha732]

Dear Israel21,

Please use correct names when referring to locations in Israel.

There is no West Bank, its called Judea and Samaria.

I am glad to see jewish and arab midwives work together-- they way it should be.

If the Arabs stopped the war on the jews, maybe stories like these would be more common.
