It all belongs to Israel anyway.
An Israel without Judea isn’t Israel, particularly Hevron.
This is the right answer. A military reprisal is necessary but insufficient.
The only thing that transmits pain is the loss of land. Every terror attack should trigger the loss of land.
The “land for peace” policy is a good one, except it has had the wires reversed all this time. Switch the wires around. Instead of Israel trading land for peace, the arabs should forfeit land each time they break the peace.
Absolutely ! There should be no West Bank and NO Palestinian State anyway . They have no legitimate ancestral claims , the are merely Bedouin transplanted by the Ottomans . If anything the people known today as the Palestinians belong in what became Jordan and northern Saudi Arabia , but none of them want them . Egypt ? nope ....How about if Turkey ( the former Ottoman Empire ) take them all in ? They seem to love them so much .
I applaud Netanyahu’s big finger to the rest of the world on this one . It sets a new precedent : Kill defenseless Jews and you forever lose your land . If you don’t like it, don’t let your mutt kids kill Jews .
I would be outraged, but it is hard to be outraged against those who are fighting these Islamic scum. Israel, you are the only country with guts against Muslims. Please carry on. Ignore all the gutless morons.
This all goes back to Ottoman practice. Things would be simpler if the Turks had just used acres.
Agreed. Israel has the right answer. You hurt those who attack you. The US, on the other hand, is still busy pretending islam is the religion of peace.
It double belongs to Israel. It’s theirs by birthright and they won it in the 67 war.
Hey PLO-
We get it. Every time an Israeli sneezes, you take offense, puff yourselves up and blow something or somebody up (you really ought to work on those training exercise accidents-can’t you fill a classroom with your (adult male) students when these accidents occur?)
Your sense of entitlement knows no bounds. You will not be happy until every Jew in Israel is gone. And if you manage to wipe out all the Christians, that will make you even happier, right?
For the above reasons, I hope Israel pounds your homes into the ground. I hope that they throw out any rules they have, it’s obvious you play by no rules. Death to YOU! Better yet, passports to Syria for all of you. Just take what you can carry, the trains will be by in the morning. Working will set you free. (there, how’s it feel to have jihad called on you?! Like that, huh?)
why there ever was a ‘West Bank’ Pal area delineated in the first place I cannot fathom
Israel and the Jewish people have always tried reaching out to the Pals , only to return with a stump .
Instead of 'land for peace' we can call it 'peace or land'.
Unfortunate typo in the middle of an excellent metaphor.
I’m reaching into my early life to the ‘67 war and I think it had a lot to do with a deal that Russia and the US put together after Israel gob-smacked every Arab country in the vicinity and was ready to own just about the entire old Ottoman Empire.
I remember being a teen and being laughed at by my friends when I said that Israel would win that upcoming war. The papers kept showing the arabs with 20:1 planes, 20:1 tanks, and 20:1 armies. Israel then went out and ate their lunch.
My bible-believing dad had said Israel would clean the arab’s clock.
Thanks, UWP
which measurement is more objective?
1) 1 dunam = 40 paces square
2) 1 acre = amount of land which could be ploughed in 1 day.
I'm an American. Americans use acres. That's the right way.
Some other country wants to use some other system, they're welcome to it, but the old axiom applies, "when they differ from us, they're wrong."
Just kidding.
In fact, I think the Ottoman term goes back to a Byzantine measurement which was ultimately based on how much land could be cultivated in a certain amount of time.
“It’s in the Book”!
Baraq will be so angry he’ll tee off into the woods.
God bless you dad !
me , I wanted to go enlist in the IDF during the 73’ Yom Kippur war , but I could not afford to go there . Plus they do not take goyim . Israel needs a foreign legion corps !let the Christian soldiers fight and defend the Holy Land too
