document.write("This smacks of Apartheid-type motivation. Regardless of whether it is race or religion you should be able to live together side-by-side. Why is it that South African Jews (generalisation)were the one's who were able to see what was happening in this country during the Apartheid era and spoke out against Apartheid, when the majoruty of the country were blinded, yet the same segregation process is happening in Israel and nothing is being done about it?.

document.write("<h5>DISGUSTING!</h5>");
document.write("This is absolutely disgusting! You are right sir, the Arabs don't have anywhere to live, so why don't you give it to them and help to create a Palestiinian state, just like Israel was created to accomodate the Jewish nation who didn't have anywhere to live either? Don't you think that would put an end to all the tension? Oh, by the way if Arab Israeli citizens are recognised as Israeli Citizens, have Israeli passports etc, don't you think that you should treat them as such and not consider them a \"problem\", when the real problem is that you are endangering your own people by making these statements?.

document.write("Please read your Bible! -  you will get all the answers there. Isreal and all the land they conquerd , belongs to the Jews, In Excodus 22 vers - 32 & 33 - it states there clearly  that they  are not alowed to sign  treaty's or   allow people of other nations or religeons  to stay in the land that God gave them. There is only one God! and we should just read Bible and live according to the word.. Mark Farrell");
document.write("<h5>Mark</h5>");
document.write("Mark, I believe that religion is a good thing. However you can not defend your stance on ancient relgious texts and justify human rights abuse and disparity according to who has the (literally) God-given right to live in a vertain part of the world. The Nat government also used The Bible to conveniently back up their policies of exclusion!. Rocky");
document.write("<h5>Jews</h5>");
document.write("Hi Rocky - This ancient religious texts you are talking about , is the word of God ! When He instructs we must listen , we as Christians have been way to docile for my liking. The nat goverment changed the bible to suit them , and that is why ng church were the goverments church - still today clinging to old nat believes. All i'm saying we should not just follow , we should allows ensure that the right answers are in the Bible. please do me a favour and read those verses , if you have'nt got a Bible - google it!.

document.write("<h5>We have to be careful</h5>");
document.write("Hi Mark, I happen to be Christian too, but I have to rationalise and not take everything that I read in my Bible literally. For example, the man who lived to be over two hundred years old. Also, you are quoting from the Old Testament (aligned to The Torrah), however in the New Testament, the fundamental text of a Christian, we see a different God who is more loving, a turn-the-other-cheek-God. Surerly this God would want all his people to live together in the Middle-East, regardless of whether you refer to him as G#d or Allah?. Rocky");
document.write("<h5>Social interest</h5>");
document.write("This leaves all doors open, take away religion and I’m not saying belief, wouldn’t it be great to live in a suburb with likeminded people that have the same social interests whatever they may be, why do you think golf estates are as popular as they are, heaven forbid I ever take an interest in that game but I really wouldn’t mind living in a suburb where everyone rides or supports  motorcycles and the local carwash caters for their needs and you have a helmet hook at the restaurant and parking for more than two bikes and no one complains about the thumping sound my bike makes as I go down the street at 6:30 on Sunday morning because they want to sleep in after a heavy night at the golf club. So there may be merit in what is being said ignore religion, race and political affiliation for a minute, then things may be clearer.bm. ");
document.write("<h5>arabs Vs jews</h5>");
document.write("this is really apartheid of the worst kind and i even question the motive behind such racial unacceptable comments by such a high ranking government minister after there has been promises of the palestine state from the new Israeli administration.If the jews find it difficult to live next to the Arabs them maybe they should be the ones doing something about it and vacate the palestine territory in the west Bank and return to the 1967 borders as demanded by Hamas.. mapoiki");

document.write("Maybe you should take a look at the Answers in Genesis website. There they have some excellent articles surrounding the scientific validity of all scripture. <br /><br />@Mark<br />Interesting scripture. Let's be prayerfull of the times we find ourselves in, especially considering what is occuring in Isreal.. mtnboy");
