Biggets threat to the west

could you tour the middle east? would they let you in? I'm curious

am I right in thinking that this study was taken over myspace by a humanist organisation?

its a real problem for me, I can if Israel stamp a piece of paper instead of my passport... but because of my surname I might not get in anyway.

but i'm going to take the gamble.

If you want to understand the jewish/arab conflict wander round the Jewish and arab quarters and see the vast cultural differences. It's not surprising they don't understand each other.
When I was there it snowed

No.

good luck to you. I think that's a brave thing to do. where will you go?

?!?!? it's one of the most beutiful cities known to man:





and climate wise it isnt that bad, its more like a greek temprature, its not like the negev desert.... it even snows in the winter.

well i'm starting in jordan traveling down through wb, palestine (visiting all the old christian sites and if possible some of the less hostile communities), then through Israel to see the history & current cultures, then to J-lam to look@ neighbourhoods/houses. then through the negev to egypt, then back through israel to jordan (steering clear of the gaza strip), then spend a week living with a beduin tribe in their tent (sharing with their goat) then up to the north to do syria (if they let me in, to visit historical sites) if they dont let me in I'll go to lebanon to look at the women

would love to do iran but I've been told I'll never get in.

I'm guessing you've never seen the jewish quarter... J-lam is home to israels large haredi communities who live in massive poverty.

there is little difference between the two neighbourhoods... dont buy into the pallywood lies.

are you allowed to go on the temple mount where the mosque is? that building and its surroundings is the most beautiful place I have ever been.
As I climbed the stair and the blue mosque came into view the guy on the minaret started with the 'allah aqbar' (sp?) and I had a spiritual moment
It didn't last for long though cos then I got told off for eating a bun

no you're not allowed to visit that eyesore (if ur jewish - i think)

no I agree arab architecture is amazing, I hate the zionists for knocking down those beautiful villages... they would have made a lovely home for me when I move

I was there for a week. I'm talking about the old city. the new one looks like newcastle.
the jewish quarter was all done up immaculately with litter free public spaces and clean fooderies and the arab quarter was chaotic, dirty and full of mad life.
I must admit I liked the arab bits better

I'm not talking about the tourist track... I'm talking about real jerusalem:

arab quarter


jewish quarter

ha ha how big do you think the old city is? you can see it all from the walls.
tourist track it's all tourist track. It's like venice. real jerusalem is on the hills all around.

You can only compare like with like, east jerusalem is the majority old town.... when you move out of that on the otherside you leave Israel and move into the westbank.... Which is a different economic region and there's bound to be different economic conditions as Israel is a wealthy nation and Palestine is not.

Jerusalems arabs fair as well as their jewish equivelants.

I don't think they would agree with that assesment

then let them go to the westbank... most israeli arabs wouldn't move ot the westbank if you paid them... they have reaped the rewards of israeli society.

I suggest you speak to an israeli arab and ask him about his career and education, then ask him if he'd trade it all in for a life in the west bank.

few will say yes.... I have many israeli arabs friends.

they wouldn't get into the west bank for lunatic jewish settlers

riiiiiiiiiight

Jerusalem would you put your dacks together here on his exclusive middle east tour THE ONE! THE ONLY!
