To every Jew, or anyone at all, who comes to the Galilee to invest, find work or improve their living conditions and who seeks good neighborly relations with the established residents, we say ahlan wasahlan, welcome. But anyone who comes with a demographic......

Worthless post as it has a pay wall.
Is Haaretz now short for זו לא הארץ שלנו
, which translates to “It’s not our Land.” Haaretz means “the land.” Or maybe זו לא ארץ היהודים, which translates to “It’s not the land of the Jews.”
I hope this doesn’t mean Bibi is cancelling the previously-announced plans to do just that in the important Galilee region, where Arabs are still digsracefully a majority.
I am reading a fantastic book “Jews in the Roman World” - and it talks about the history of Israelites.
What is fascinating is that from around 500 BC to 150 BC, Galilee was a mostly pagan area with some YHWH worshippers (Judeans, Samaritans etc.)
It was conquered by the Jewish Hashmonean kings and many inhabitants forcibly converted (just as the HAshmoneans did with the Edomites/Idumeans). But by the time of Jesus, it was still part pagan and hence the “he’s a galilean” comments.
I moved to Nahariya in the Galilee a year and a half ago.
The headlines say it all, really. But the rest of the article, which I did read before they put up that paywall when I came back to it, says it more.
I guess I’m a Zionist oppressor. Oh, well./s
Aren’t we all anymore. Guess it’s time to start living up to the claim, what say you? 🙂
I’ve heard such good things about Nahariya. Must be impossible to afford. I am looking to make Aliyah in a few years. Son is in school in EY now.
The old apartment and houses are dirt cheap. But there are developers buying up properties for the purpose of tearing it all down and building high-rises. Some are already built. Those are the expensive ones. They look like great big beehives, and I want no part of them. Will move to Haifa this spring.
I’m not interested in oppressing anyone. “Settlers” in Judah and Samaria are the great hope for peace. They are the real diplomats.
Neither am I , it was a joke.
I know. But the rest of the statement is something I truly believe.
I would hope that to be the case, and I believed that was the case. But if they want to keep making these false claims, it might become they reality for some. Better yet, let’s start the projection on them & the Arab populations.
Where are you looking in Haifa? I heard it is cheaper but perhaps more Arabs and more crime.
My son, who is there, needs us, to make a long story guardedly short. As for crime and Arabs, neither scare me. I have friends among the latter, and have seen plenty of the former in NYC. My Arabic is poor, but not for lack of trying to learn. It’s just a hard language.
