Ynet reports on a gathering in Ramallah called ‘Jerusalem First’ conference. The proceedings of the conference are, most probably, as good a proof of a deity pulling some strings as any other natural or supernatural phenomena. After all, it is a rare day when our fairly useless PR machinery gets what is called in modern advertisement lingo “a free gift”.
It started with the following call of despair:
Hadash Party Chairman MK Mohammed Barakeh … sharply attacked Israeli policy in the capital, claiming that it sought to empty the city of its Palestinian inhabitants.
“With all due respect to Al-Aqsa Mosque and its holiness,” Barakeh declared, “if Israel succeeds in emptying Jerusalem of its residents, what will be the city’s importance? The city, if it has no inhabitants, will be no more than stones.”
Unfortunately, the honorable participants in this conference failed to compare notes, and this is what happened:
The Palestinian Authority’s “governor of Jerusalem,” another conference participant, said that “despite all our fears, we are managing to survive in Jerusalem. In 1967 there were 70,000 Palestinians in Jerusalem and now we are 300,000.”
Some stones… Truly a meeting of minds. And this is not all. The above mentioned “governor of Jerusalem” decided to go even farther with the following pearl:
“No historian or archaeologist – even Israeli ones – have ever succeeded in proving that there is a historically based religious or political link between the Jews and Jerusalem.”
No comments…

The “governor of Jerusalem” is an adiot !!
True, Paul, but he has a lot of attentive and grateful listeners…
This Israeli government puts up with the participation of a PA “governor of Jerusalem” on Israeli soil? They have no beitzim (or in Livni’s case, female equivalent thereof). This “governor of Jerusalem” should be administering his territory from a jail cell.

Beitzim in Livni’s case are called “beitzim”, chsw. The saying “yisha im beitzim” is part of the slang.
I disagree with your including Livni in the list, BTW. I believe she is sitting on the fence letting Olmert to bury himself.
She is no slouch, she, And she definitely has beitzim.
Wasn’t there a temple there at some point? I think the Romans said something to that effect.

At what point do the Israeli’s actually act on all the things they have been accused of (and sanctioned for)?
Cry wolf often enough, and eventually no one will hear you being eaten. Perhaps the Pal’s need a lesson in this (western) fable.
Free Radical – Romans’ Zionist allegiance is widely known, and no progressive person will believe their propaganda.
