Many Israelites are not aware they are decendants of Israel but not all will return.
As for the Israelis themselves....they ARE decendants of Jacob. How do they know? Hebrew is the oldest spoken and written language in the world today, it was created long before Arabic and any other language. Even English, French and Latin is relatively new compared to Hebrew and even Hebrew was'nt the first tongue spoken by the Hebrews.
We know how to keep our records

Now pay attention.....
Hebrew is the oldest SPOKEN language in the world. It is still spoken in it's true ancient form.

You truly are obsessed with attacking me. You should know I do not even sympathise with the Palestinian cause. I just want the factual record to be brought forth and to see Israel adhere to international law.edit on 26-6-2011 by SpeachM1litant because: (no reason given)

So this video pretty much proves that the Muslim religious claim of "Jerusalem being sacred" is at the very least not as a sacred as it is to Judaism.
They play soccer in its courtyards, something they would never do at the Kaaba in Mecca. Something religious/orthodox Jews would never dream of doing.
They sit in it and have picnics as if there were no difference between here and a local park.
Theres random acts of vandalism inside the Temple mount, of all places.
All this being the case, it is understandable why Palestinians/supporters would want this video removed. It exposes the central reality that the claim Islam makes toward Jerusalem is factitious. If anyone should have Jerusalem as their capital; it is the Jews. And of all parts of Jerusalem, East Jerusalem (Aka Old Jerusalem; the part with thousands of Jewish/hebrew inscripted tombstones. and sadly was the part where hundreds of ancient synagogues stood - which were systematically destroyed during Jordans occupation of the West Bank (Judea/Samaria). But above all; the Temple Mount, the Zion of Judaism, the place where they turned to 3 times in their daily prayers for over 2000 years of exile, deserves to be returned to the Jews.
This would be such a splendid act of good faith on the part of Muslims. To call two places their most holy; fine. But to arrogate and usurp someone elses religious site; and even now you show complete contempt for that site by allowing soccer playing, and picnics; essentially in religious terms, making a complete mockery of the holiness of the Temple Mount?? And still demanding amidst this foolishness that you have a right to it??
Im sorry. Any just, sensible person can understand how this is wrong.edit on 25-6-2011 by dontreally because: (no reason given)

What's wrong is that after thousands of years two groups of people still act like children in a sandbox fighting over a bucket.
I'm not sure why anyone thinks it's a great idea to fight over land, or why people hate others just because what they believe isn't identical.
This video, and the conflict accordingly, is everything that is wrong with the world. Who cares? It's land, a place, a thing. Grow up.
People involved in this should be ashamed.

It's a pattern that repeats itself and escalates , whether by propagandists or pure ignorant.
After all, this is a “ middle east” forum, not Evil Israel / Zionist /Jew forum, but by the looks of things, Israel is the sole responsible for every wrong doing in the world. Personally, it aggravates the hell out of me, if only for the purpose of denying ignorance.
I'm not saying Israel is doing the right thing every time. I'm saying Israel is just like every other country in the world. And they all have Pandora boxes.
