Isn't it funny how when the Israelis make a video, they try to calmly explain their views. In contrast when their enemies make a video they just cut someone's head off or scream about wiping people off the map.... Hmm what a contrast!!!

@voteformariam no archaeological evidence for the existence of Solomon's temple? excuse me, but you should look up The Western Wall, the only leftover of the temple and the most sacred place in the world in the eyes of the Jewish people.

@coolestagent Cleopatra wasn't actually Egyptian, BTW.

After Alexander and until the Roman conquest, the ruling dynasty of Egypt was Greek.

In resume, the Palestinians should thanks Israel for having today a land to claim. A land that was illegally occupied by Jordan. If Israel had not taken back the West Bank, the jordanians would have maybe killed the Palestinians like they did on Black September. So... stop being ungraceful, Palestinians! And thanks Israel!

@ccmutlu Palestina is the nazis

[emiraoemir]

So what you are basically saying is to Palestinian people is suggesting to leave West Bank and migrate to Jordan bec Israel already did big compirimise i 1940's by accepting 26% of so called historical jewish land. :). You are so funny...

@SgtH3nry3 Egypt before Nasser in 1952 was NEVER ruled by an Egyptian since Cleopatra in 30 BC, so for 2000 years Egyptians did not rule Egypt... Does that mean that it does not belong to them?? If ALL countries in the Arab world were established after WWII which is after the colonial countries decided to withdraw from this area of land, this is when ""COUNTRIES AS COUNTRIES"" started to exist in modern age, Palestinians didn't get their own state on their land and now its about time isn't it?

[SgtH3nry3]

But that doesn't mean the Palestines cannot have their own country in modern times. This video just shows that wrong facts have been used.

If Israel and Jordan could cooperate, this whole issue could be over. I do think that these Israeli settlements are illegal because it is disputed territory and it is just harassment.

@korenamit75 Israel is a state that was offered by the west and the British occupying forces to the Zionists , while the most of the 600000 Jews who were there at? the time were migrants , and although the Arabs did not accept the partition plan , theirs was a voice in the wildenes , the voice of the people who lived there for? centuries was ignored , israel was imposed on the palestenians and the neighbering countries ,,,, for me , this is a war decleration,this is the root cause of the problem

@voteformariam

No archeological evidence?? Come to Israel, my friend, and see for yourself.

Don't know which books You're reading, or which "extra-biblical" books you refer to, but in THE book, the old testament,the one which is holly to both Christians and Jews,not only is the temple mentioned, but you can also get an extremely elaborated "blue-print" of the temple:Book of Kings 1,chp 6, vrs 14-38 ,for instance.

It says exactly where it stood in Book of Chronicles 2,chp 3, vrs 1
