Nationality and Jerusalem<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Israel became a nation in 1312 BC – For two thousand years\u00a0 before the rise of Islam.<\/p>\n

Arab refugees began to identify themselves as\u00a0 Palestinian people in 1967, twenty years after the creation of the modern State of Israel.<\/p>\n

Jews from the Jewish conquest in 1272 b.c. lived on this earth for a thousand years, and continuous presence in the past 3,300 years.<\/p>\n

The only period of Arab dominion lasted 22 years – the conquest in the year 635.<\/p>\n

For more than 3300 years Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital.<\/p>\n

Jerusalem was never the capital of any Arab or Muslim country.<\/p>\n

Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to\u00a0visit Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

Jerusalem is mentioned over seven hundred times in Tanach, the Jewish\u00a0 Holy Scripture.<\/p>\n

Jerusalem is not mentioned even once in the Koran!<\/p>\n

King David founded\u00a0Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs against the city, facing the\u00a0Mecca.<\/p>\n

Arab and Jewish Refugees:<\/p>\n

In 1948, the Arabs were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders,\u00a0 to purge Jews from the face of this earth. 68% of the Arabs left Israel, never having seeing an Israeli soldier.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jews were forced to leave Arab countries due to Arab brutality, persecution and pogroms. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 was estimated at 630,000.<\/p>\n

About the same number were Jewish refugees from Arab countries. Arab refugees were not integrated into the Arab countries, despite the vast Arab territory.<\/p>\n

Of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II it is the only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated in the countries where their own peoples live.<\/p>\n
