Tarek, I could not help but notice your comment on Lake Kinneret...

Just to set you straight on the history of the area, the JEWISH historical presence around that lake predates the founding of Islam by more than 1,000 years! At the time that Jesus, who was a JEW (his real name was Yeshua, not Isa) lived and taught around that lake there were no "Palestinians" there at all. There were Jews, a few Greeks, and a few Bedouins who came and went at will, but mostly, the ROMANS invaded & ruled the area with an iron fist. In fact, it was Rome who called the land "Palestine" as an insult to the Jews. The modern term of Palestine has nothing to do with ancient times. The Palestinian people did not exist then, and as late as 1966 in the 20th century they did not exist! They considered themselves loyal JORDANIANS who were loyal to the monarchy of King Hussein bin Talal until Israel defeated Jordan, Syria, and Egypt in the six-day war in June of 1967. Suddenly after the war ended they called themselves "Palestinians" in protest to the Israeli capture of Jerusalem. Historically speaking they bear no genetic or cultural resemblance to the Philistines, from which the Romans derived the Latin term 'Palestine'. The Philistines, were a barbaric, Island people of ancient GREEK ancestry, not Arab.

The majority of people who now call themselves Palestinians were NOT there when Israel declared itself a nation in 1948. There were a FEW, but mostly the land was unoccupied and desolate since the Romans destroyed it in 70 C.E. It was deserted by everyone except for a few Bedouins until the formation of Zionism at the turn of the early 20th century, when a few Jews from Europe came to the area and literally drained the swamps by hand! at that time no one could have paid the Arabs to take the land. They didn't want it, as it was deemed filthy & unlivable by most people. The British took control of the land after WWI in 1917 and hated every moment of it. India won independence from British occupation in 1947 and Britain attempted to hold on to "Palestine" as long as they could. They invited the Arabs and Bedouins to settle down in the area to appease their Saudi and Jordanian allies merely because the Brits were greedy for oil and only interested in their own assets. (In fact it was Winston Churchill who literally drew lines on a map of the Middle East and made the country borders where they are today, displacing thousands of people throughout the Middle East and creating many of the conflicts of the area that are still being fought over today, but that is beside the point). It was only after the forced expulsion of 40,000 Jews from Arab countries who having nowhere else to go, settled in Israel, that the Arabs in the surrounding areas began flocking to the land and claiming it is theirs! Before there was a SINGLE "Palestinian" refugee, there were 40,000 Jewish refugees from Muslim countries who were forced out of the their homes, stripped of their citizenship in Muslim countries where Jews had been living peaceful for thousands of years.

Relations between the Arabs in "Palestine" & their Jewish neighbors in the area were mostly good until Haj Amin al Husseini, who was made "Grand Mufti" of Jerusalem by the British, began stirring up hatred among the Muslims toward their Jewish neighbors. Yassir Arafat, who was Amin Husseini's nephew continued the legacy of hatred and it has never ended! Sadly, though there were many Arabs who fled their homes during the Israeli war for independence in 1948, they were nowhere near the population of current day "Palestine." Yes, there have been bed things done to each on BOTH sides of the conflict, but the propaganda is ridiculous!

Please do some accurate historical research before you go making biased, inaccurate comments and do not assume everyone is so ignorant.

also known as the famed Biblical, SEA OF GALILEE.

In Hebrew it is the Yam Kineret (ים כנרת‎), meaning "sea of the harp" or lyre. It borders the Golan heights in northern Israel & is the largest fresh water lake in Israel.
