Egyptians in Tahrir Square chant "To Jerusalem..."

[nebula]

I don't think the idea that a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital is actually that radical.

Jerusalem is Israel's true capitol.

It belonged to Israel millennia before there were even a people called "Palestinians."

It's one endorsed by most of the world. Even the USA has failed to move its Embassy to Jerusalem.

Why is it "not radical" to give East Jerusalem to the Palestinians as a capitol when they refuse to acknowledge Israel's right to proclaim the city as their capital?

As to Egyptians expressing solidarity with Palestinians. I wouldn't expect them, be they religious or secular, Christian or Muslim, to do otherwise. And everybody including those posting at JiIhad watch enjoys flights of easy rhetoric,

Did you read what was spoken?

They want the al-Aqsa Mosque (Dome of the Rock), and they want to be martyrs!

You can't be a martyr if you don't do something to get yourself killed.

It's a quid pro quo situation as far as international recognition of either part of Jerusalem as a national capital. When (and it is when not if) one happens so will the other. As to Palestinians, you might not like it but they exist and they will continue to exist. The Israelis accept this and will at some point do a deal.

As to wanting to be matyrs easy to chant and then go home to your supper. Most Arabs resent the vile way the Palestinians have been treated, but they don't are enough to put their own lives or even their oil revenues on the line. And the Al Asqa mosque is actually already under the administrative control of the Wafq not of the Israelis.

Yes, but that was at the request of the Israeli government.

With the consent of the Israeli government, as will be the establishment of a Palestinian state.

OK, do they include directions on how to type the Arabic letters?

You copy and paste the passage and use the directions to have the passage translated from Arabic or whatever language to English....

Note: Nevermind it seems you have the answer you were wanting.

So it is true!

Thanks, man!

Jerusalem is for the Jews; what right do muslims have to try to make any part of that city theirs? They will never get what they want either.

So they just chant rhetoric for the fun of it?

Mount Zion belongs to the God of Israel, not the demon-god of Islam.

Consent...... hummmmm...... no, that would not describe it.
