Let me begin with this:The PA generally...Anonymous,<br />Let me begin with this:The PA generally respects freedom of religion, though no law exists protecting religious expression. The basic law declares Islam the official religion of Palestine and also states that "respect and sanctity of all other heavenly religions [that is, Judaism and Christianity] shall be maintained." The PA requires all Palestinians to be affiliated with a religion, which must be displayed on identification cards. Personal status law, which governs marriage and divorce, is based on religious law; for Muslims, it is derived from Sharia (Islamic law)<br /><br />Now, this reality and the daily culture of life (preaching of Jewish hatred in schools, on television, in newspapers and on their television) is a reason why Jews "cannot live in a Palestinian state. <br />There is more-now, you are trying to make a point and I understand thi-however, if you live here you also know the reality-all the best-docGS Don Morris, Ph.D./Chana Givonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14028217914514268498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21959449.post-89219153507900948032009-05-21T09:06:10.486+03:002009-05-21T09:06:10.486+03:00Ok, can you provide any links to quotes from senio...Ok, can you provide any links to quotes from senior PA/PLO/Fatah Palestinian officials (historic or recent), or documents that says specifically that no Jews will be allowed in or to be citizens in a Palestinian state. <br />I'm not saying your wrong, but while I’m aware of the strong opposition to settlements, I haven't seen the above.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21959449.post-88110990205913091962009-05-20T08:05:37.213+03:002009-05-20T08:05:37.213+03:00They oppose the "settlements" because they believe...They oppose the "settlements" because they believe they are on the their land. If they were to have a state, Jews would not be allowed to live there-this as of today's date.This is contrary to Arabs who not only live in Israel but are also citizens with all the requisite rights-including the right to practice Islam. This is not reciprocated in any Arab state.GS Don Morris, Ph.D./Chana Givonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14028217914514268498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21959449.post-57419343835728534582009-05-20T03:22:33.673+03:002009-05-20T03:22:33.673+03:00Do the Palestinians specifically state that no Jew...Do the Palestinians specifically state that no Jews will be allowed in a Palestinian state, or do they just oppose Jewish settlements, because these most of these settlements are likely to become part of the Israeli State in any future peace deal?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
