Between the destruction of Southern Lebanon's infastructure by the IDF and the chaos depicted here, Lebanon has it's work cut out for it. Sadly, the politicians probably just don't care.

do christians and musims still get on in beirut?

[lebaneseprincess85]

you are right when you say that the land belonged to Jews b/c before Christ there was no religion.... so the Jews that lived there from the beginning were Arabic!!! don't mix Jews and Israel... b/c there are still Arabic Jews to this day, many of them live in Morocco now.

God has nothing to do with anything, and it's a horrible lesson cause I there is nothing I learned.

Oh and come on, every land had previous owners. You can push the middle east as far back as mesopotainia. But those were a nomadic people, the first PERMENANT residents of israel was the jews.

This is not debatable, it's historical fact.

Maybe you should get some lessons yourself.

[lebaneseprincess85]

I guess you know a little bit, but there is much more to learn...... Read Exodus 3:8. It tells you there who the land really first belonged to. So that land really belonged to others before the Hebrews took it. And then God cursed Hebrews and said that they will be kicked out of the land and scattered all over the world. By that time the people who came and filled the empty land were what is now the Palestinians, who are the real owners of the land. .... How is that for a lesson??

[ITOMIC85]

I obviously know a lot more then you.

Oh and yeah, I don't need to research it, cause I happen to know that the biblical land of Israel goes back to 3000 BC, waaaay before the palastinians showed up.

So yeah, it was the Jew's land first, before the Romans came along and forced them out.

You learn something new every day huh.

[lebaneseprincess85]

wow what a smart thing to say? so if the arabs are greedy, then i guess americans are too as well..... since they took land from the indians, right???? that's exactly what u said. and palestinians are not greedy, because that was there land in the first place. go research about it and see how it's only been called israel since 1948. and look at yourself before you call others greedy. americans have to have their own everything while arabs share their food, homes, money, everything......

[lebaneseprincess85]

the israelis are fighting with bombs and guns while the palestinians are fighting with rocks. does that sound fair to you??? open your eyes and don't listen to everything the news tells you. if israelis catch palestinians with one bullet they go to jail for 7 years and if they're caught with a gun they go to jail for life.

[lebaneseprincess85]

you know what's worse than a stupid person? someone who doesn't know shit yet they still talk like they know what's going on. i guess you are talking about the war that killed 12 israelis and almost a 1000 palestinians. well whenever you see that ratio, you should ask yourself why. and the answer is..... IT'S NOT A FAIR WAR!!!

[ITOMIC85]

When? Look up the 6 day war.

FOUR different arab countries tried to attack Israel. FOUR. Israel defeated ALL of them in 6 days.

Look it up. That's the problem with you anti-zionists, you are so blinded by your governments propogenda you can't see the truth even if it's right there in black and white.
