Palestinians seek to renew institutional activities in E. J'lem

Calling the eastern part of Jerusalem the fabricated name, East Jerusalem , misrepresents Jerusalem by insinuating that it is already partitioned, which is what lefty rags like Ha'aretz and its lefty readership wants the international community to think. "East Jerusalem" does not exist as a separate entity from Jerusalem. The entity calling itself Palestine is also not real, and Arabists and Islamists who claim that the entity calling itself Palestine is real, is the root cause of all the problems in the Middle East and around the world. It is kleptocracy in its most basic form.

The space allocated here is far too small for the amount of knowledge you seem to be lacking. The good thing is that you appear to have access to the internet, so try Google

WITHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, ZIONISTS HAS NO PLACE IN WEST BANK, WE WILL KEEP FIGHTING THOSE ZIONIST SETTLERERS LIVING IN WEST BANK, ITS US OR THEM, TO BE OR NOT BE WITH THOSE PORKS

How can you insist that Hamas accept the undertakings which the Palestinian Authority has entered into and allow Israel to wriggle out of her promises? Both sides have to accept that promises are promises.

Jerusalem has been a 'de facto' divided city since 1967; the Israelis built up the Jewish sector but neglected (and has ever since been trying to depopulate) the Palestinian sector, and numerous human rights organisations can attest to the racism and brutality against the non-Jewish population. You don't have to be Jordanian to be oppressive, as being Israeli isn't much better. The Palestinian people must regain our religious, cultural, and economic hub in our own land - Jerusalem. Only when that occurs can the city truly be 'equally' united with each side caring for its own but free access to all. This is a nationalistic, emotional, and religious issue for us, but I don't necessarily believe in this BS that it is an "Islamic issue". It is strictly a Palestinian issue first and foremost. If the Islamic world (if such a term truly exists) was concerned with Islamic religious sites, it wouldn't turn a blind eye to the mosques being blown up in Iraq or to the oppressive Saudi regime.

It makes me sad that so many Palestinians are suffering, but in time, demographics, economy, american disgust with its policies (as we get more bogged down in the region) will reap good news for you. It will be a 100 year experiment that failed, and the land naturally, like flowers in a field, return to its rightful owners, the Palestinians. PEACE

"Throughout its history, whenever the Jews ruled it, it was a wonderful city .." when did the jews rule it? and how do you know how the city was then? The jews even by their own account came from elsewhere.

The last one the Arabs in OUR land will ever face. We can go on like this forever. THEY are suffering more every day from their violence.

The Peres letter is something which Peres must have sent privately.He was certainly not speaking on behalf of the people of Israel.He overstepped his authority or just like Arafat : he had his fingers crossed whilst writing.It,s rubbish and means nothing.

and that the ottomans owned the land and gave it up in 1917? does pop stands for popular over paradise ? or just plain idiot ?

Since Muslims occupied it, Jerusalem has become a sad and backward city, that denied other religions (Jews, for example) free access to their holy places. Throughout its history, whenever the Jews ruled it, it was a wonderful city and so it became again after the Six Day War in every part of it where the Jews build freely and take care of it. Guess what, once again it offers free access to all of its holy places since the Jews returned. Haaretz will grant you the freedom to publish whatever lies you want because Haaretz is Israeli, Jewish and it's located in Jerusalem. Enjoy.

Israel is a religious extreme state - the word of GOD has no relevance If the Israelis are pissed that God promised them land, maybe they should sue GOD for breach of contract... good luck with that!

Israel a 3,000 country united by King David. When haven't the Arabs fought the Jews for everything? The Israelis will always be victorious and your side will remain liars and murderers of innocent Jews. All of your 'allies' have failed, so will you. All you have are words, we have G-ds word re: Jerusalem, you have a pipe dream.

Absolutely!!!

HALLELUJAH!

was before June 5, 1967 then you are asking Palestinines, Arabs and Muslims counting around 1.4 billion to stay as your enemy. It is your choice. At the end if not restored as it was then you will lose everything including Tal Al Rabieh (TA). Wait and see. This was the case for all invaders for the past 5,000 years.

The Pals are certainly getting good legal advice from somewhere; this demand of the Pals sits alongside Erekat's recent onservation that Israel must remove 16 road blocks in order to be compliant with the Road Map. It's an interesting tactic, and appears to be successful in rattling at least some Israelis: Shin Bet for one. And it's probably a good tactic; everytime Israel mouths off about the Road Map then a Pal negotiator dusts off that old heap o' doggerel and says "Oh, OK, now that you mention it, let's just look at what YOU guys are supposed to be doing Right About Now, shall we......" Unsettling indeed, I would think, for the poor Israeli who was stupid enough to blurt out "Road Map!" in the first place. Maybe its all just point-scoring, but it does look as tho the Pals are intent on preventing the Israelis setting the pace and the agenda, and doing so in a rather sophisticated way.

In 1993 Peres promised to permit Palestinin institutions in East Jerusalem to continiue to operate. Now,the PA demands renewal of those institutional activities. Just a momeent, what were the promises of PA since 1993? Who remembers? Who demands for their renewal? Peres?

Jerusalem will always be the centre of every Palestinian love and devotion. Israel has no right to occupy, annex or judaicize the city. As a Jerusalemite, I can only feel sad when I see the destruction caused by 40 years of Israeli annexation and destruction of the Eastern part of the city. My city used to be lively and vibrant but since it's been closed off to Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza, the place has become sad and almost deserted. I have no doubt that one day the city will re open its arms and welcome it's Palestinian sons and daughters and life will return to our eternal capital city. As the great singer Fairouz says in her famous song; We will return to our neighbourhood and the flowers will blossom again and the birds will sing their morning song.

“THOU shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy GOD.” Isaiah 62:2 UN and US should help Israel to get back to the Israel of pre AD 70. G-D'S will to have one Jerusalem, One Temple on Temple mount. no such things as East or West, one united Jerusalem. Israel demands any thing less than pre AD 70 border will be denying her birthright. toda, haaretz.

institutions may operate from there, none, unless and unltil there is an end-of-conflict agreement.

THE KING OF ISRAEL WILL DESTROY ANYONE WHO TOUCHES THE APPLE OF HIS EYE!!!

Or anywhere in our land. More Israelis have died from Arab terror in the past 14 years as a direct result of giving them a share than before that. http://www.israelinitiative.com/
