  • what peace, cant u see bush and rice are trying to play their last card of that so called their own definition of peace which comes by force, and bullets and invasion and lies lies lies, peace does not come from those beasts followers.

  • The Jordanian army defended the West Bank from '48-'67 because Palestine including its military was destroyed by Israel. Doesn't mean it was Jordan. When Syrian troops were in Lebanon, nobody called it Syria.

  • The West Bank isn't a de facto refugee land as you suggest. It's a land that's been occupied by Palestinians for thousands of years. Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Hebron, Jericho, Ramallah, etc. aren't refugee camps. They're cities with hundreds of thousands of Palestinian families who've lived there for generations.

  • Israel on the other hand was created in '48 by massive immigration. Most Israeli's haven't been in the country over 50 years, if that. They lived as Jewish minorities in Europe, Russia, and America. None of them can trace their roots to Palestine.

  • The West Bank is Palestinian according to International Law. The settlements are illegal under International Law.

    If you want to dispute International Law then Israel shouldn't exist because it was created by International Law.

    States didn't even exist in most parts of the world until the 20th century. That doesn't mean the indigenous inhabitants (Palestinians) didn't live in that land for thousands of years like you and many Jews try to suggest.

  • shad, why Jordan hasn't taken the West Bank entirely under their wing and jurisdiction is beyond my understanding. you're right, it was Jordanian land before Israel took it, then it become a de facto refugee land called "West Bank". I think Jordan should've occupied the West Bank years ago.

  • Why is it "Palestinian village" and "Israeli settlement" That land belongs to Jordan, if it belongs to anyone! Aren't they both occupying Jordanian land?

  • Who cares about the conf.

    This is good theater
