As I watched this video I thought of the people whose lives were to be destroyed by the incoming waves of European Jews whose armed forces would drive them from their homeland. I saw the bucolic landscape that was soon to be ruined by high rises and highways. The Palestinians paid a heavy price for the European anti-Semitism that lead a handful of European Zionists to work for a Jewish homeland in Palestine.

Its terrible that the west gave total power to the new state of Israel, instead of making them co-exist with the Palestinians, and respect them.

@Jugglesama Nice try Bozo. Where were you when Egypt and Jordan occupied the land? The fact is, Gaza, West Bank and parts of Jordan belong to Israel. It's the Pals who are occupying it.

الفيديو جميل ولكنه توراتي في شرحه للاماكن المقدسة, وهو يحكي عن كل فلسطين وليس فقط بيت لحم والجثمانية في القدس وانما لفلسطين كاملة..

All of this wouldn't have happened anyway if European Zionist movements didn't encourage mass immigration and settling on Palestinian territories. As far as the history is concerned, Palestinian action in '48 is irrelevant. The theft of Palestine by immigration was premeditated.

It's pretty funny you say that Palestinians aren't willing to co-exist when Israel constantly encroaches on their land. I'd be pissed too. Nice try, buddy.

@loolee27 Sabra and Shatila were in Lebanon, just outside of Beirut. The massacre was commited by Lebanese Phalangist militiamen under the command of Elie Hobeika. They say it was revenge for Damour. The Israelis just stood by, watched from outside the camps, and waited for instructions which never came. Deir Yassin was a Palestinian town just outside of Jerusalem, that was something completely different. Both events are unfortunate, but it is important know your facts...
