When will the people of Israel stand up and demand elections? Will it be after Olmert has caved in to the pressure brought by the US to "negotiate a peace" and render Israel defenseless? He has agreed to sell Israel out to her enemies. As an American conservative, it is maddening to watch the George Bush/Condoleza Rice State Department blatantly sell out Israel in the name of a "peace" which can never be achieved in the policies of weakness and concession. Those of us in the US who truly support Israel are fighting a losing battle in the current political environment. Sadly, Israel can no longer truly rely upon the US to support their very existence. Wake up, Israel, and use the power of the parliamentary government you enjoy. Dissolve the coalition sustaining Olmert...elect Netanyahu before its too late. The wolves are howling at your doors.

 

 

The late Mr. Arafat has no entitlement to be buried in Jerusalem. It is an insult to the Jewish people and most importantly to G-d who put HIS name there. HE wouldn't appreciate honoring a man whose sole mission in life was to destroy HIS people.

 

 

Arafat was born in Egypt; the closest connection he had with Jerusalem is an uncle lived there. Why doesn't the press start pointing things like this out. A lie oft repeated becomes 'fact' and the Moslems are exceptional in the practice. Next we'll be reading his revised bio in Europe.

 

 

Long before the current 2 state solution - there were 2 states - Jordan and Israel. Please read MK Benny Elon's 'peace initiative'. Tell Netanyahu we all want him to support an Israel initiative, not a forced US plan that will harm Israel and kill Israeli's. Get the word out - this is an excellent plan - one that solves the Palestinian refugee problem. Tell everyone - get worldwide support behind this initiative. Thanks.

 

 

Yasser Arafat was born and raised in Egypt, trained as an Engineer and later at the Moscow Institute for Propaganda warfare. Much of his identity and background information was invented with the help of the Soviet Union after l964 and l967. Any martyrdom of Arafat must be understood in the context of his body being attacked by a merciless army of Human Immuno Viruses (HIV) and prehaps others which reportedly produced a serious case of AIDS. Recommend you read Red Star Rising, a book written by former Romanian KGB Officer who defected to the West, Ian Pacepa (spelling?), a chapter in which is about Yasser Arafat.

 

 

Wasn't arafat born in Egypt?

 

 

I am very disappointed in your Prime Minister that he has planted the seed in deeper ground against his nation to give your enemies the edge to push to their maximum. I would certainly try to "demonstrate and rally " even harder to have him removed out of office.I find him disgusting and I am not a citizen of your country! Peace at any price is NO peace at all. Apparently he has'nt learned from Israel's past experiences with the enemy.

 

 

Jerusalem in its entirety is the capital of Israel. The Temple Mount (Har HaBait)is the place that G-d decided to create Adam, and afterwards the history of the Jewish people continued to seek this site for such spiritual occasions as the akedah. the binding of Isaac by Abraham, the first Jew. No other cultural, ethnic, religious,or national entity has legitimate historical claims to Jerusalem other than the descendants of King David himself, the Jewish people.
