The ignorance and hate of some of you people is completely disheartening. As an Israeli, I love my palestinian brothers and sisters and wish to see more israelis come forward for a future palestinian state solution.

That comment is so poignant (whether or not marzutrall is Israeli), it's exactly what the Israeli activist is talking about in terms of Israeli's not knowing the geo-political landscape of Israel and Palestine. "no borders" ? Look up Israel apartheid barrier or Israel security wall or something...

Of course there's even some canaanite and some jewish blood in some palis. There was only some deportation of fighting jews. There's no serious evidence of whole "deportation", not ONE SINGLE SERIOUS SOURCE beside bible tales. 2. They were illegal, because they came illegaly to palestine. They cant even prove if they're descendants or just converts and it wouldn't even matter after 2000 years otherwise you have to accept palestinian right to return either or you're a rascist.

@Dengatube Cannanites have nothing to do with palis. plus, you can't eat the cake and leave it whole. either the second deportation was a myth (as you called it) or you had only 5% jews in here in 1890 which resulted in this so called mythological deportation. 2. "10% legal jews" i take it you refer to the sad epic of british rule over these regions. you mean jews were illegal in their own motherland which they set thousands of years ago, even before current day britain existed.

@Dengatube

Sorry, I meant 33% legal residing jews in palestine. 10% of them were palestinians in 1922.

[Dengatube]

@eshvartz

2. It's the other way around : Jews existed parallel to nonjews in Palestine. 5% Jews in 1890, 10% legal residing Jews in 1947. 3. It was judaism that mostly spread right after the second "exile" and not jews. 4. It was cannanite land thousands of years ago. Jews conquered it. 5. Every territory belongs to the native inhabitants. To keep the majority of them expelled and deny them citizenship to maintain an "ethnic" domination is apartheid. Thats what you support.

[eshvartz]

@Dengatube Well, 1. no, in my mind "the golden, golden, jews" don't count more. 2. palis existed parallel to the israelites and even then their lands were consisted of five cities around the gaza strip. 3. Generally speaking, Judaism doesn't spread at all. You can claim as much as u want the 2nd deportation was not real, so what? 4. this land was taken from k9ts :) not palis. 5. Palestine is a British name for these territories, it begins with the british and ends with the british, period.

@eshvartz

1. And Palestinian care what was their lifetime ago. But in your mind jews count more.

2. It was actually Ben Gurion himself too who made comment about arab Palestinians beeing very likely descendents of hebrew which converted to islam. 3. And judaism "spread" a lot after hebrews leaving palestine. Ashkenazis are not descendents of ancient hebrews. 4. What? 5. Palestine belongs to the palestinians, all of them, jews and nonjews. You support rascism and apartheid. Period.

[eshvartz]

i care what was 2k years ago. And i cant believe you actually meant the comment about pallis being descendants.. Third, judaism doesn't spread. We don't let strangers convert too often. Fourth, if cannanites disputed this territory i assure you things would have look dif. Fourth, if to judge things your way england doesn't belong to current day english, germany should be taken apart and norway should be part of denmark again.

[Dengatube]

Who lived the before the israelites? (Hint : it was the canaannites).

It is about a 1000 times more likely that arab palestinians are the descendants of ancient hebrews then ashkenazis are.

And you won't find any serious academic history book about the "second deportation". It's a myth. Only jewish rioters were deported, some jews emmigrated and judaism spread because of proselytism.

Who cares what was 2000 years ago? Britain doesn't belong to the romans neither.

[eshvartz]

hundreads of years ago, only one people lived on this land (hint: it was the Israelites). the land was called Cna'an. the persian empire occupied the land and deported the israelites to all over the known world. and that was just one of two major deportations. the pallis had 5 major cities on what is today gaza. they were never connected to Jerusalem.

if you think i'm not telling the truth than ask yourself why are there jews all over the world. all jews were once the biblical Israelites
