Jerusalem Gates
|
A
visitor to Jerusalem's Old City will find eight gates, each with it's
own fascinating history. Four of the main gates were constructed
according to the four directions of compass. One of the gates is sealed
awaiting the return of the Messiah and the end of days.
It
has been few years since my first and last vist to Jerusalem. As I
sat across the Western Wall on that warm summer evening and watched my
surroundings with mixed emotions, one thing has become clear: This was a
special moment in my life, one I would always remember and cherish.
Historically,
each party in the Arab-Israel conflict has a different concept of Jerusalem.

Facts and Opinions
The Right of Return & a Just Solution
At
the time when Israel celebrates the Day of Independence the Palestinians
and the rest of the Arab world commemorate the event by mourning the
birth of the Jewish state. There is word for it in Arabic called Nakba
or Catastrophe. It is also brought up every time the question comes
up about the right of return of Arab refugees and their descendants,
numbering around four million people, back to Israel.
The Flotilla of Hate
The Hamas controlled Al-Aqsa TV reported on May 30th, a day before the incident, that flotilla commander said 'We will not allow the Zionists to get near us and we will use resistance against them". How will they wage resistance? "They will resist with their fingernails. They are people who seek Martyrdom for Allah, as much as they want to reach Gaza, but the Martyrdom is more desirable" noted the commentator.

I was surfing the Internet recently, trying to find a worthy piece of
news amongst the debris of the usual reports about the economic
doomsday, suicide bombings and sports events, something caught my eye as
being very odd. The report from a credible news source was saying that
South Africa has barred the Dalai Lama, a Nobel Peace Prize winner and

Interpretation of Resolution 242

As a result of the Six Day War, Israel ended up with the Sinai, Golan Heights, West Bank and East Jerusalem under their control. They were willing to negotiate the settlement that would produce a peace in the region, but the Arabs shot that opportunity down during the Khartoum Conference where they refused to negotiate with Israel.
