Show more »"This questions came from hemzehsh1 posted on www.yoosk.com/fco:

    Mr.David Miliband , I hope the change in your policy with Hezboallah is a step forward in U.K    glimpse to the middle east .

    you know that U.K is responsible for establishing Israel , you should know Mr.David that this disposal is illegal ,because you give land that you don't owned to other one ,you may say Israel (Zionist) have right to establish Israel from history they( Zionist)said that ,ok.
    Arab live in palestine as Canaan (they are arab migrated from Arab peninsula before  2500 B.C ) & Jew occupy Palestine less than 73 years (from 1000B.C that what torah said not me) from 5000 years that history of Palestine.....

    and how Israel estaplish by migrated Palesine people in 1948 they migrated over 4 million palestinies people (that number from UNRWA) & killed many thousands & stolen their land.
    18,147 Palestine home have been demolished since 1976 ...


    i want to give you some idea about what happenig there , you may ask me why you talk about Palestine iam not going to visit Palestine iam going to visit Jordan,,i know that but you know Mr.David here in Jordan we love Palestine because palestinies people are our brothers and you know Mr.David peace in  the middle east & world flow from Palestine....

    finally,iam talk alot but iam don't ask you any question, ok , my question "when U.k change it's idea about arabic resistance ,and stop support Israel & support the right owner ?????
