Palestinian students on (UMass) campus react to President Trump’s recent declaration
UMass Daily Collegian ^ | 12/12/17 | Nehela

Posted on 12/12/2017 8:04:42 AM PST by pabianice

Altell says she hopes her voice will provide an outlet to help Palestinians who feel they are often silenced in the American political climate.

“We will gain the right for everyone to go back and live on the lands of what was and will always be ours,” she said. “Jerusalem is forever ours, and only ours.”

Saleh Aqleh, a junior civil engineering major, said he sees the recent declaration of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel as an opportunity for others to witness, “for the 100th time the injustices the Palestinian people face.” He believes that Trump was in “no position to hand over something that clearly doesn't belong to him, to people that don't have the right to be there.”

She might pull her nose out of the Koran and look at history. Jerusalem was Jewish from the time of King David. That is at least 1500 years before Mohammed was a gleam in his father's eye.

Also, before Carter allowed Arafat into Israel, all the people, even from Roman times, living in that area were considered to be Palestinians, even Jews.

She might even read the agreement signed after WW1 that created the modern boundaries of the Middle East. There was no 'Palestinian' people. Jordan was set up for that.

Hey, girlie, you’re here on our invitation. I say that invitation should be yanked and you kicked out the door hard.

She might look at her damned Koran to see where her god allah has given that land to the Jewish people. She will burn in Muslim Hell for not helping the Jews

I've always thought that Israel should create a 100 mile buffer zone around its borders, a no-man's land where anyone is subject to immediate termination, no questions asked.

All so called "palestinians" should be rousted and expelled from Israel to beyond the buffer zone.

Arabs and Israelis are incompatible at every level, morally, intellectually, and spiritually. They have nothing in common. Pretending peaceful coexistence is obtainable has been empirically demonstrated as impossible.

The Palestinians choice of random acts of violence forfeits their right to be heard. When they renounce killing children, even their own, I would listen to them.

BS. It belonged to the Jews long before any Arabs were around to claim it.

God gave it to Abraham and through him, Isaac.

It was NOT given to Ishmael and on to the Arabs.

Don’t know why you are in “college” but you should use the time to actual get an education. Because your statement proves you need one!

Actually it's always belonged to the Jews until you took it by the sword for a while then they took it back.

It’s very obvious these folk don’t know our God. He’s the one who made it and gave it to the Jewish people forever. Pray for them for their eyes are closed to Jesus Christ as surely as the people to whom God gave this place. When all eyes are opened and every knee has been bowed, then will we have peace forever.

Why should foreign nationals have any say in USA politics?

...”help Palestinians who feel they are often silenced in the American political climate...”

Silenced?!? You’ve got to be f**king KIDDING me!

Especially since 2005, and the advent of IAW and BDS, there is NO ethnic/political/religious group, who has gotten MORE attention and sympathy on campus than the Palestinians. Nearly the entirety of western media is firmly on their side, and the narrative that Israel is an ‘illegitimate, apartheid state’ is now accepted pretty much without question in the PC-MSM. When terminology such as “Al Quds”, “Occupied Palestine”, and “Zionist Occupational Government” is regularly spouted on campus without anyone batting an eye, obviously their voices are being ‘silenced’

Good GOD!

Once again, the new-fangled definition of ‘being heard’ is apparently that your viewpoints are not only agreed with, but they’re not even QUESTIONED.

Right, roger that.

Typical delusional hateful Muzzlime animal. Toss her back from whence she came, and the Palescumians who came to listen to her.
