Not long--Look what happened to all those green houses left behind by Jewish settlers when they pulled out of Gaza. USAID bought them from the settlers for twenty million dollars so they would be intact and a useful economic benefit to the Palestinian people. Instead of being smart, Palestinian mobs descended on the green houses and looted them to the ground for scrap. I saw the same thing in Baghdad in 2003. My unit had to secure a water treatment plant because a looting mob had descended on the facility. What kind of people loot their own water treatment plant? Why could they not see the benefit of clean water for their families over a few hundred dollars in scrap? |

Kind of unfair to say that.
The Palestinians have experienced some hard times these last few decades from enemies and their own leaders who have said they are out to help them but only want to bring harm to Israel.
This is coming from a Zionist. |

If Israel did not exist, more than likely one of the other Arab nations would likely take over and the Palestinians will then have oppressive Arab rulers over them. The surrounding Arab nations really are not out to help the Palestinians, they just hate Israel, period. The Palestinians are pawns used by other greedy Arab rulers. |

Dont worry Israel will not cease to exist but I hope pointless questions cease to exist from this stupid board. |

First of all, Israel shall not cease to exist.
A hypothetical scenario would be that once Israel disappeared Palestinian civil wars would lead to destruction and occupation by surrounding Arab countries within weeks. |

WOW... It takes one Zionist or racist (I am repeating myself) to curse a Palestinian and you see a whole bunch of other racists joining in. Don't you ever get tired of lying?
Jim, I thank you for not joining the crowd. There is still hope. Thanks to the others who defended the Palestinians.
Back to your question. Palestine was never a wasteland. Palestine was the largest citrus fruit exporter in the world prior to 1948. My grandfather owned tens of acres of citrus trees farms in our village (Kafr Ana: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafr_Ana ). Of course all was lost to the Zionist occupiers in 1948.
Farming was the main source of income for the Palestinians before Israel disposed of and expelled 0.75 million of them to make room for the immigrant Jews from all over the world. Israel never allowed these people to return in spite of several UN resolutions.
Farming is still the main source of income for the Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza strip, but Israel is working very hard at destroying that too. See my answer to this relevant question.

I am sure this is not the answer you were looking for. So go back to your feast with the other racists and enjoy your bashing of the Palestinians. You should be ashamed of yourselves. |

The Italians have a very cute saying, my friend:
From your mouth to God's ear, lol!
I believe it was Al Pacino who said that in the Godfather movie, but I could be wrong of course.
However, no one likes Israel not to exist. What everyone wants is for the Jews to behave more civilized and less primitive. Simple as that.

G-D Promised that would never happen. |

Probably, either that or it would be attacked by an Arab army anyway; even if there weren't any Jews of any kind there the Arabs would still attack it, even with "fellow Arabs" living there becaus ethe Arabs seem to enjoy attacking people. |

This my friend is not a realistic question, I believe in GOD, same one that Muslims Christian belive in, HE, GOD through the prophet Jeremiah stated that as long as the moon and stars light up the night, the offspring of Israel would never cease to exist (Jeremiah 31:35-37). Over and over again, GOD declared that He had made an “everlasting covenant” with Israel. The promises include the Land, the survival of the people and the coming of Messiah bringing salvation — everlasting salvation. |

israel ceased to exist, doesn't only concerns Arab world.
What zions have done and are still doing through out the world with their under the radar sneak tactics, greed, love of stealing others wealth and their deep pockets is a valid proof of that. |

I believe that this decision is for Mr. Putin to make.
He is the Strongest man on Earth and the Russians want a piece of that land.
The Jewish God maybe gave the land to the Jews but our Christian God cursed them to wander homeless throughout the ages with no relief.
It's written in the Bible if you do not believe me.
bye bye |

I can imagine that. All the Jews left and the Arabs flood in and take it over. Youll see the infrastructure collapse within several years, Hamas and Fatah killing each other. Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt making land claims. Syria likely would invade it all leading to Jordan quickly entering the West Bank and soon enough a new war.
Christians and Jews will be banned from entering Jerusalem( Jordan did this when they ruled Jerusalem) The Samaritans will be persecuted again, Bahai centers will be occupied, Black "Palestinians" will be denied jobs and healthcare(just like when Jordan ruled) will be a mess |

it also says that if the nations agree to allow the Jews to come back then they are allowed or if the nations have been cruel to the jews they are allowed back to the middle east........holocaust and Balfour declaration sounds a lot like it.
as for beautiful sunset, Mr. Putin is powerful, but not as much as you think. Many within the gov't know that there are certain ex KGBists whom he avoids because of their power. The unfortunate case is that he is now a billionair which increases his power, but in terms of secrets about him, he has got skeletons in his closet. |

Yes can't wait for that to happen and don't you worry about Palestine |
|

Q

Pretty quickly. Look what the Palestinians did when Israel pulled out of Gaza. They destroyed everything standing, even the stuff that international aid organizations built specifically for the Palestinians. |

If that happened then Hamas would rule and kill all the arab children to stop anyone taking over as they have tried with Israeli children. However the question is rather silly as its impossible for Israel to not exist, Unless of course nowhere else existed too. The whole world except Iran and Hamas supports Israel. |

Or even better . . . just wait until the Palestinians want Jordan or Saudi Arabia . . . do you think they'll stop with just Israel . . . I pray every night the other middle eastern countries will WAKE UP and realize that the only way to protect their national sovereignty is to protect Israels |

If Israel ceased to exist, it would be a much more safer and peaceful world.
