No need to apologise but I must admit I was getting worried. We will keep things ticking over until you return. The important thing is that you are OK now.

There's no such thing as a "Palestinian".

No- "Palestine" never existed. It would have, but they chose war instead.

Oh well. That was their choice.

And we all know about APARTHEID STATES.

We won't allow that here in OUR land.

Well Palestine is listed on maps centuries before the temporary Apartheid State was listed. i myself have Palestinian postage stamps from the 1920's.
It's strange how you Jews are always wailing that someone wants to wipe you off the map, a misquote of course, but at the same time you attempt to wipe Palestine off the map.

Even the US State Dept. confirms that Israel is a racist Apartheid State.

http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2004/41723.htm

The Government did little to reduce institutional, legal, and societal discrimination against the country's Arab citizens.

Discrimination and societal violence against women persisted, although the Government continued to address these problems. Trafficking in and abuse of women and foreign workers continued to be problems. Discrimination against persons with disabilities persisted

.Laws, judicial decisions, and administrative regulations prohibit torture and abuse; however, during the year, credible NGOs filed numerous complaints with the Government alleging that security forces tortured and abused Palestinian detainees
In June, the Physicians for Human Rights in Israel (PHR) petitioned the Supreme Court to end what it termed the Israel Prison System's (IPS) "systematic abuse of prisoners" in the Sharon Prison

The PHR report also stated that medical examinations given to arriving prisoners were used to determine if the prisoner could withstand "the application of violent approaches to those jailed."

The ICRC reported that, as of the end of December, the Government held 498 minor Palestinians, with the youngest being 13 years old. Defense for Children International and Save the Children charged that minors were being "physically and mentally abused," denied access to their families and legal representation during interrogation, and held in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions.

According to a 2003 Haifa University study, a tendency existed to impose heavier prison terms to Arab citizens than to Jewish citizens. Human rights advocates claimed that Arab citizens were more likely to be convicted of murder and to have been denied bail

Jews who wish to marry according to Reform or Conservative Judaism, those not recognized as being Jewish, and those marrying someone from another faith, must marry abroad in order to gain government recognition of their unions

Approximately 300,000 citizens who immigrated under the Law of Return are not considered Jewish by the Orthodox Rabbinate. These immigrants cannot be married, divorced, or buried within the country

Also according to IRAC, the budget for the non-Jewish population was approximately $9 million (40 million NIS)--2 percent of the budget for 18 percent of the population.

During 2003, the Government refused to grant residence visas to approximately 130 Catholic clergy assigned by the Vatican to the country and the occupied territories

Advocacy groups challenged the 2003 temporary Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law, which bars Palestinians from the occupied territories from acquiring residence or citizenship rights through marriage to Israelis or to Palestinian residents of Jerusalem. These groups claimed that the law has a disproportionate adverse effect on the country's Arab citizens and residents (see Section 5).


The law prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, marital status, race, political beliefs, or age. Local human rights groups believed that often these laws were not enforced, either due to institutionalized discrimination or lack of resources

Government spending on children was proportionally lower in predominantly Arab areas than in Jewish areas

According to the Government's February 2002 report to the U.N., government investment per Arab pupil was approximately 60 percent of investment per Jewish pupil

The Orr Commission of Inquiry's report (see Section 1.a.) stated that the "Government handling of the Arab sector has been primarily neglectful and discriminatory," that the Government "did not show sufficient sensitivity to the needs of the Arab population, and did not take enough action to allocate state resources in an equal manner." As a result, "serious distress prevailed in the Arab sector in various areas. Evidence of distress included poverty, unemployment, a shortage of land, serious problems in the education system, and substantially defective infrastructure."

According to a report by Mossawa, racist violence against Arab citizens has increased, and the Government has not done enough to prevent this problem.

Advocacy groups charged government officials with making racist statements. In December, Knesset member Yehiel Hazan likened Arabs to "worms" in a speech in the Knesset on a terrorist attack

In June, the Jerusalem District Court filed six indictments against fans of a local soccer team for shouting "death to the Arabs" at the local stadium

The JNF's statutes prohibit the sale or lease of land to non-Jews. In October, civil rights groups petitioned the High Court of Justice claiming that a bid announcement by the Israel Land Administration (ILA) involving JNF land was discriminatory in that it banned Arabs from bidding.

Israeli-Arab advocacy organizations have challenged the Government's policy of demolishing illegal buildings in the Arab sector, and claimed that the Government was more restrictive in issuing building permits in Arab communities than in Jewish communities, thereby not accommodating natural growth.

In June, the Supreme Court ruled that omitting Arab towns from specific government social and economic plans is discriminatory. This judgment builds on previous assessments of disadvantages suffered by Arab Israelis.

Israeli-Arab organizations have challenged as discriminatory the 1996 "Master Plan for the Northern Areas of Israel," which listed as priority goals increasing the Galilee's Jewish population and blocking the territorial contiguity of Arab towns

The road sign you linked was to a religious site. I suppose you deny that some roads in the Apartheid State are for jews only and not for any other reason than segregation?

"It is only for tactical reasons that we carefully stress our Palestinian identity, for it is in the national interest of the Arabs to encourage a separate Palestinian identity to counter Zionism: The founding of a Palestinian state is a new tool in the ongoing battle against Israel…"

- Zohair Mohsin, then head of the PLO Military Operations Dept. and member of PLO Executive Council, in an interview for the Dutch newspaper Trouw, March 1977

"There is no language known as Palestinian. There is no distinct Palestinian culture. There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, etc. Keep in mind that the Arabs control 99.9 percent of the Middle East lands. Israel represents one-tenth of 1 percent of the landmass.

But that's too much for the Arabs. They want it all. And that is ultimately what the fighting in Israel is about today. Greed. Pride. Envy. Covetousness. No matter how many land concessions the Israelis make, it will never be enough."

- Joseph Farah, Arab-American journalist, editor and CEO of WorldNet Daily

The sign I posted was to exclude all "infidels" from areas.

That's apartheid.

And no, there are no Jews only roads here in Israel. Israeli Arabs can drive on every single road here just like Jewish Israelis.

In fact, there are roads that are forbidden to Jews; hose under Arab occupation.

But that will end. We will re-liberate OUR land from the thieves.

How stupid. There's a unique language called Hebrew that we speak in Israel today just as we spoke it in Israel THOUSANDS of years ago.

There's no such thing as "Palestine". There would have been, but the Arabs chose war and terror instead.

That was their choice.

As to your picture, you're again a liar. Show me a sign that says that Israeli Arabs are forbidden to use it.

I challenge you.
