Hahaha Great Joke - do you actually know what it is like living under occupation - half of the Palestinians (in Gaza/West Bank) receive two dollars a week - and are now building their houses out of mud since they cannot import cement over the border

[darkriver29]

Last I heard Tel Aviv was the capital of Israel

The palestinians choose terror....always have. They received more aid than most but werent interested in building a society for its people...rather, they were interested in building up their terror state and the killing of Jews.

peace will come.. most human s have evolved away from war mentality. you do know that when you say EAST JERUSALEM you mean the western wall, the holiest place for jews, the remains of their second temple? do you honestly think that will happen? hamas is not the only reason. i said they have set yous back years. so u think israel will never return west bank? well, the same was said of gaza ! israel has more than enough land , without west bank , for every jew on this planet to RETURN to.

[moseskoses]

That might be true but only on weekends...

[moseskoses]

Well then no peace will ever come, i promise you no palestinian neither muslim or christian will ever give up the right of east jerusalem....and this war will go on until god knows when. As for the west bank, I promise you thats how israel feels aswell they do not intend one bit to return it to us. So well se i predict a WW3 or judgment day before any change could happen. Its not hamas, hamas didnt exsist 20 sumthing years ago but israels been holding the west bank for over 40 years!

i hear that even breathing the dublin air contains some guiness particles.

[buckfastdrinker]

buddy buddy buddy i have replied to this point several times !! a future state will come for yous. i hope you treat it better than u did the gaza strip a few years ago when israel returned it to yous. JERUSALEM WILL NEVER BE YOUR CAPITAL.

ramallah ? perhaps. jerhico ? perhaps . jenin? who knows............. hamas has set your dream back many many years.

[buckfastdrinker]

i dont know or care what your religion is. i will tell you that you that you are now living in a period of miracles!! israel , with jerusalem as its capital is the ONLY PLACE ON EARTH that jews can call home. the only place that they can truly feel at peace. im sure the palestinians will have their future state soon, ALONG SIDE ISRAEL, but i can promise you that not one inch will of jerusalem will be given to the palestinians !

[moseskoses]

n yes ive heard its good stout but i dnt drink...
