How can that be unlikely- Muslim Canadians protest Canadian Policy with Hezbollah Flags - celebrate Al Quds day with Anti Jewish slurs- yet they are Canadian. Or are they not according to your interpretation.
Judging by the maps that were in the years before and after WW2 until recently,the territory was smaller,so were these maps inaccurate?
Check the ancient maps go back to the Egyptian and Roman eras- and yes their is proven evidence that King David ruled. I would take Gerry point seriously - perhaps asking questions vice coming out with an inaccurate conclusion as you are doing.
I highly recommend this.
Was just asking,cause if the entire territory belong to israel,so the palestinians are lying,and have no right to live there.
Now you are making assumptions- did you have a chance to read my post and suggestions.
Why are so many homophobes closet homosexuals?
The Palestinians have as much right as anyone else to live there. Just like you have a right to live in Canada. What they don't have is a right to murder others that also live there based on religion. NOr do they have a right to force others to adhere to their wacko religion.
Actually TS, that's incorrect. Palestinians without Israeli citizenship have no rights and they certainly have no right to live anywhere in Israel or the occupied Palestinian territory. Most of Israel proper and all Israeli settlements on land supposedly reserved for a future Palestinian State are for Jews only.

The Israel Land Administration (ILA) manages 93% of the public land in Israel. Ownership of real estate in Israel usually means leasing rights from the ILA for a period of 49 or 98 years. Under Israeli law, the ILA cannot lease land to foreign nationals, which includes Palestinian residents of Jerusalem who have identity cards but are not citizens of Israel. In practice, foreigners may be allowed to lease if they show that they would qualify as Jewish under the Law of Return. Which means effectively that most of Israel is not available to non-Jews. Most non-Jews wouldn't qualify to buy their own homes.

Another factor are building permits. Jews generally get building permits without any difficulty. Non-Jews applying for a building permit are almost always refused. Non-Jews can't even get a building permit to build on their own land or increase the size of their home. If a non-Jew builds a home without a permit, then authorities tear it down.
"For Jews Only" - Israeli Cabinet Endorses Bill Regarding Using of 'State Land', The Fate of Palestinian Refugee Property
On Sunday, 7 July 2002, the Israeli cabinet, in a vote of 17-2, recommended the adoption of a new bill to restrict access to 'state land' to Jews only. the cabinet endorsement comes on the heels of an earlier cabinet decision (12 May) to suspend family reunification procedures between Palestinian citizens of Israel and Palestinian residents of the 1967 occupied territories to prevent the latter from establishing domicle in Israel. (See, BADIl Press Release, E/44/02) The primary aim of both measures is to uphold the 'Jewish character' of the state, characterized by a permanent Jewish majority and permanent Jewish control of the majority of the land.
The propsoed bill was formulated as a response to a High Court decision on 8 March 2000, which upheld the right of Adel and Iman Qaadan, a Palestinian couple from Baqa al-Gharbiyya in the Galilee to lease a plot of land and build a home in the nearby Jewish 'lookout' settlement of Katzir. Katzir was jointly established by the Jewish Agency and the Katzir Cooperative Society in 1982 on 'state land' allocated by the Israel Lands Administration (ILA) as part of a project to prevent the development of large contiguous Palestinian areas in the Galilee. The Cooperative Society only accepts Jewish members. In reviewing the case, the High Court held that the state may not allocate land to the Jewish Agency knowing that the Agency will only permit Jews to use the land. The Court note, however, that the decision applied only to the "particular facts of the case." Katzir has refused to implement the decision.
The cabinet decision, which resembles, in principle, South Africa's 1950 Group Areas Act, under which the vast bulk of the country was reserved for White ownership and occupation, rekindled debate and discussion about Israel's system of property laws. "If we are not already totally an apartheid state, we are getting much, much closer to it," stated Shulamit Aloni, a former Israeli cabinet minister (Meretz). Aloni went on to note that Israel had already put segregation into effect in a number of ways, among them in appropriating Palestinian-owned land, designating it as 'state land,' and earmarking it for exclusive Jewish use. "By the right of our might, we are acting as a racist nation. South Africa, as well as white and democratic [a reference to Israel's definition of itself as a Jewish and democratic state].' (Ha'aretz, 9 July 2002)
Many of those Israeli Jewish lawmakers opposed to the proposed bill appeared to be more concerned about the 'esthetics' of the discriminatory language in the bill and its implication for Israel's image abroad, rather than the underlying, historic, and discriminatory nature of Israel's land ownership system. "[The decision] places us in a bad situation," stated minister without portfolio Dan Merido, "changing our image in our land and in the world." "As to the charges that Zionism is racism - what are we ourselves saying here?" (Ha'aretz, 8 July 2002) As one Israeli commenator wryly noted, however, in an article entitled, "State Land Bill Sticks to Reality on the Ground": "When the cabinet approved a bill on Sunday that would permit state lands to be allocated to exclusively Jewish townships, it was giving legal backing to a situation that has existed in practice since the establishment of the state." (Ha'aretz, 9 July 2002)
While the majority of Israeli Jewish lawmakers continue to defend the ability of Israel to be both a Jewish and a democratic state, the very nature of Israel's land system, as exposed once again by the proposed land allocation bill, speaks otherwise. Property law inside Israel has enabled Israel to acquire control of vast quantities of Palestinian owned property, including refugee property. The majority of the land (approximately 17,000 sq. km) Israel classifies as 'state land' was illegally expropriated from Palestinian refugees in 1948. Moreover, it is estimated that since 1948 the Israeli government has also expropriated as much as 1,000 sq. km out of a total of 1,400 sq. km of land (not including vast areas expropriated in the Bir Saba' sub district) owned by Palestinian citizens of the state, including internally displaced Palestinians. Under Israel's 1960 Basic Law: Israel Lands, land is held as the inalienable property of the Jewish people, it may not be transferred either by sale or in any other manner....

Blame Hamas. You remember Hamas don't you? You've defended that terrorist group a number of times.
Israel isn't responsible for the rights of non Israeli's. And oddly enough, ALL Israeli's, Arab, Jew or otherwise, enjoy far more rights than the citizens of the surrounding nations.
Ain't that a bitch!?
It is a Jewish State- Must drive you off the deep end- no need in denying that- I can see by your post that a bum burp got lost and made it to your brain and then the fingers.
Oh yes - do you stutter when you type.
The pictures don't lie EAO. You do but the photos do not. They were European ISM Members and they got busted brandishing AK's. Alternative tourists my azz. It is you who are not bright enough if you believe that alternative tourist garbage. They were exposed for who they are.
You may slither away if you wish now.
Yes we know he lies- we know he manipulates posts- we know he is completely against violence, oops excepting those grey areas- did not know Jews were Grey- No they are grey to him.
He is also a Non Violent Pacifist- and the only one on the planet he is from that can decipher what an Alternative Tourist is- And WTF is with that.
The snide remark. Still won't admit Kaplan is an Israeli propagandist.
FYI: Anyone who can make it to Ramallah can get their mandatory ISM training on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Even you ES. In fact if you go with a group, maybe you too could initiate a photo-op with AK-47s with the newbies. What are the odds, one or more of the greenhorns might think cool and pose with you? .
Training
When people volunteer with ISM we require that they go through a two-day training in nonviolence strategies and philosophy, group decision making and cultural considerations for living and working in Palestine which helps prepare them for demonstrations and actions that ISM participates in against the ongoing Israeli occupation.
Trainings are every Wednesday and Thursday and held in Ramallah as long as there are enough people (at least two to three) to warrant holding the training. You should try to arrive on a Sunday or Monday before the training so that you can optimize your time here and not have to wait for the training. Arriving on Tuesday may not allow you enough time to get a good night’s sleep and adjust to the time difference before you start training.
When you get here contact Hisham and he can tell you details for the training. Calling from inside Palestine or Israelyou can contact him on

LOL, the excuses are funny.
Keep going EAO, every post you write, further proves our observations.
So now you are defending training terrorists in the fight to destroy Israel.
"Your mission Mr. Eaglesmack should you decide to accept it is to help harvest Palestinian olives in occupied Palestinian Territory. The farmer's livelihood depends on your success. As always, should you or any of your I.S.M. Force be caught or killed, the I.S.M. will disavow any knowledge of your actions" This message will be understood as sarcasm in five seconds.
Good luck, Eaglesmack"

Call to action: Olive Harvest 2012
18 August 2012
International Solidarity Movement
West Bank
At a time of increasing settler violence in the West Bank, the International Solidarity Movement is issuing an urgent call for volunteers to participate in the 2012 Olive Harvest Campaign at the invitation of Palestinian communities.
The olive tree is a national symbol for Palestinians. As thousands of olive trees have been bulldozed, uprooted and burned by Israeli settlers and the military – (over half a million olive and fruit trees have been destroyed since September 2000) – harvesting has become more than a source of livelihood; it has become a form of resistance.
The olive harvest is an annual affirmation of Palestinians’ historical, spiritual, and economic connection to their land, and a rejection of Israeli efforts to seize it. Despite efforts by Israeli settlers and soldiers to prevent them from accessing their land, Palestinian communities have remained steadfast in refusing to give up their olive harvest.

Palestinian and ISM volunteers join Palestinian farming communities each year to harvest olives, in areas where Palestinians face settler and military violence when working their land. Your presence can make a big difference. It has been proven in the past to deter the number and severity of attacks and harassment. The presence of activists can reduce the risk of extreme violence from Israeli settlers and the Israeli army and supports Palestinians’ assertion of their right to earn their livelihoods and be present on their lands. International solidarity activists engage in non-violent intervention and documentation and this practical support enables many families to pick their olives. In addition, The Olive Harvest Campaign also provides a wonderful opportunity to spend time with Palestinian families in their olive groves and homes.
The campaign will begin on the 8th of October and run until the 15th of November. We request a minimum 2 week commitment from volunteers but stress that long-termers are needed as well. We ask that volunteers start arriving in the first week of October, so that we will be prepared when the harvest begins.
Training
The ISM will be holding mandatory two day training sessions which will run weekly on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Please contact palreports@gmail.com for further information.
Ongoing campaigns
In addition to the olive harvest, there will also be other opportunities to participate in grass-roots, non-violent resistance in Palestine.
ISM maintains a constant presence in Hebron, where settler harassment and violence is a regular occurrence. Lately, Israeli army violence has escalated for Palestinians living in proximity to the illegal inner-city settlement. Israeli forces have used the Palestinian neighborhoods for military training and two videos surfaced lately of soldiers brutally assaulting a young man and a child. The annual demonstration for the opening of Shuhada street has also been brutally oppressed by Israeli military forces. Weekly, illegal Israeli settlers are brought on a tour of the Palestinian old city in Hebron, supported by the Israeli army. Every week, the Palestinians are put under curfew and shops are forced to close so that settlers can take a stroll. ISM maintains a presence on these tours for purposes of prevention and documentation, as Palestinians are often assaulted by the radical settlers.
ISM also has an apartment in Nablus from where we work on a number of projects including resisting demolitions in various villages, and supporting Palestinians resisting settler theft of their lands. In addition to these activities, we participate in the weekly demonstration in Kafr Qaddum, where protesters face excessive force by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF).
ISM activists have also been attending weekly demonstrations against the Apartheid Wall, the annexation of Palestinian land and the construction of illegal settlements in Al Ma’sara, Ni’lin, An Nabi Saleh.
Come! Bear witness to the suffering, courage and generosity of the Palestinian people under Israeli occupation.
Experiencing the situation for yourself is vital to adequately convey the reality of life in Palestine to your home communities and to re-frame the debate in a way that will expose Israel’s apartheid policies; creeping ethnic cleansing in the West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem as well as collective punishment and genocidal practices in Gaza.
