I don't believe that you have Palestinian blood. Holocaust or whatever problem they have does not give them the right to occupy our land (whole land of Palestine). You were born in Palestine, while we a refugee Palestinian people didn't see our home land ever. You forget the number of Palestinian people whom suffering from ignorance and hunger in Gaza. If you think that Holocaust gives them the right to kill Palestinian children and old men, then why they don't give you an Israeli passport?

@guinguinnaman Dear, when people occupy your country, do you accept to live with them peacefully and suffer from killing your family or live out side your hometown?? Please people go for the history deeper!! I'm a refugee, I cant see my own country because of them 0_o!!

Instead of complaining about how it isn't fair that the jews or the Palestinians dont have a right to the land, why don't we accept the fact that the jews aren't going anywhere and the same with palestinians. Why don't we move on from the past that will never change and work to figure out the future? Why not just begin a new generation by bringing peace to the middle east and finally live in harmony, it really doesn't take that much.

It took you 18 years.... To figure that out? Not impressive .

@aboodalqadi you're right, but i think he's trying to just get every one to talk about it. not the politicians even but the people.. it's obvious that israelis took palestine, but it is also obvious that all of those people can't just disappear. there has to be communication and what not.. without stereotypes. hah the ultimate human hurdle.

@yahoopl3 Please stop trolling.

@aboodalqadi There is a lot of pain involved. I think the saddest thing is that the Israelis, who have endured persecution as Jews for so long are now persecuting their neighbors in Palestine. My mother was born in Israel in the year of independence, and she is a proud sabra. To her and many founding Israelis, Israel was always meant to be a safe place where Jewish people could belong and coexist. But there seems to be less and less love and more and more conflict.:(

I agree that he is a Palestinian, but does not have a Palestinian blood!!!

@aboodalqadi I'm not going to argue with you about that, let's be mature. Peace does not mean we all have to hug and kiss each other, though it would be nice if we got along. More importantly peace is not about your fantasies of us leaving Israel. I'm not sure why so many Arabs live in dreamland. Peace is about compromise so we can share this land together.

[aboodalqadi]

@kithp you mean from Occupied Palestine. Well, if you really Peace and Love you can easily make it! You can go back to your origin country with "bye bye and kisses from us :)" Or Give us our rights to come back and live in our houses and farms...etc ...That's will be perfect do you agree?

@aboodalqadi sad that people like it, but I'm not surprised theres lots of haters out there....Peace & Love from Israel
