^^ I'm sorry to disappoint you but that's not East Jerusalem.
Those pics are from West Jerusalem.

It's Ramot?

It's Ramot?

I don't think so, It looks too old for Ramot, and more than that,
In Ramot area there isn't lots of trees like there is in this pic.
I think it's Beit Hakerem area

Very beautiful, especially the St. George Monastery.

Just hope that Starbucks doesn't see the that cafe logo b/c they might sue for having a name too similar to theirs. :lol:

Can they really sue nationals from other countries where American laws don't apply?...I guess they could but they still couldn't redeem the reparations.

Back to Topic:

Gaza is infact one of the densest populated areas in the world. I always wanted to visit Palestine, specificaly visit the Dome of the Rock Mosque and Aqsa Mosque, and the rock that is supposidely hanging in the air.

Anyone has any pictures of it?

I actually found this pic:

http://www.al-hakawati.net/arabic/Architecture/images/mosq25.gif

It shows the rock that travelled with Prophet Mohammed PBUH up in the skies. But, its not really that clear. Story has it that the rock was still in the air, and that later on, Omar Bin Khattab (PBUH) built a dome over it to hide the mysterious phenomenon of the rock--Thus we get this Dome of the Rock Mosque, one of the greatest most recogniserable Architectural masterpieces in the world.

Question where does the Gaza strip get its water?

on this one i agree that it is Palestine

and they are so grateful that they blow themselfs in buses and killes innocent people
Israel is forced to give them electricity and water as an occupier and it isn't free as you say. It deducted it from the Palestinian tax money.

Israel would let them die if they got the chance. :)

Rafah

http://orscp.org/olympia/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/rafahc1.jpg


on this one i agree that it is Palestine

Rafah is a Palestinian refugee city located in Gaza Strip near Egypt border. People that live in Rafah today are originally from Jaffa, Haifa, Akko, many cities in Israel, which they were ethnic cleansing by European Zionist Jews terrorist organizations such as Irgun, Lehi, Stern Gang, and Haganah etc...

^^ I heard that Ismael Haniyah the previous PM is also a refugee.

^^ I heard that Ismael Haniyah the previous PM is also a refugee.

Yeah he is... Palestinian president Abu Mazen is refugee too and he is originally from Safed north of Palestine.

Hebron allows for both Israelies and Palestinians to be together, which I hope will be the same for the rest.

it wasn't ethnic cleansing, it was war for independence wich you the arabs started. let's not forget this please.

Which I'm sure the Jewish states around Palestine will begin, right? I'm sure there is education in your nation...use it to your advantage.

Anyways, lovely pictures. The last houses that were posted looked awesome. Are those located in Ramallah?

Yeah some houses are from Ramallah...

We have a wonderful education in Palestine. Palestine was the best education in the Middle East pre-1948. We used to have the best doctors...

I do apologize to you AZPhoenix, the education comment was for metal.

It's interesting to learn that you guys had such outstanding educational levels. It's even more interesting that it was top in the entire Middle East considering it is a large area. Great thread. :)

Moroccan Quarter

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mughrabi_Quarter

The Moroccan Quarter or Mughrabi Quarter (Arabic حارة المغاربة Harat al-Maghariba) was a neighborhood in the southeast corner of the Old City of Jerusalem, bordering on the western wall of the Temple Mount on the east (including the Western Wall), the Old City walls on the south (including the Dung Gate), the Jewish Quarter to the west, and the Muslim Quarter to the north. It was first established by Saladin's son al-Malik al-Afdal, according to the 14th-century historian Mujir ud-Din, as a waqf (charitable trust) dedicated to Moroccans (or Maghrebis in general; the Arabic is ambiguous); he also established there a school, the Afdaliyyah. Later pious Moroccan donors extended this with several other waqfs: in 1303, one Umar ibn Abdullah ibn Abdun-Nabi al-Masmudi al-Mujarrad endowed a zaouia for the benefit of Moroccans living in the Moroccan Quarter, while in 1320 Shuayb ibn Muhammad ibn Shuayb, a grandson of the major Sufi Abu Madyan al-Ghauth, endowed a second zaouia there to be funded by his lands at Ain Karim. In 1352, the Marinid king of Morocco himself, Ali ibn Uthman ibn Ya'qub ibn Abdul-Haqq, established a smaller waqf - a Qur'an donated to the al-Aqsa Mosque, together with a representative to ensure that it was read from regularly.

The Western Wall (or "Wailing Wall"), a remnant of the Second Temple plaza, has been an important place of pilgrimage for Jews since the temple's destruction. Access to it was through a blind alley in the Moroccan Quarter, sometimes leading to tensions between the Jewish visitors, wanting easier access and more space, and the residents, who complained of the noise. With the onset of Zionism, these tensions increased. In 1918, Chaim Weizmann sent a letter to the British Foreign Office asking for the quarter to be removed and the wall placed under Jewish ownership; however, the British maintained the status quo ante, and the wall as well as the Moroccan Quarter remained Waqf property, while Jews retained their longstanding right to visit it. After the 1929 Palestine riots, a League of Nations commission was appointed to settle the issue, and again reaffirmed the status quo ante, while placing some restrictions on the timings of prayers, forbidding Jews from conducting the Yom Kippur prayers which involved the blowing of the Shofar.

After 1948, the quarter, with the rest of the Old City, passed into the hands of Jordan, and the adjacent Jewish Quarter was burned and demolished by the Jordanian Army. On June 7, 1967, Israel took it over in the Six Day War. Four days later, on June 11, Israel demolished the Moroccan Quarter, consisting of 135 houses, two mosques, and two zaouias. On April 18, 1968, it officially expropriated the land of the quarter for public use, along with the Jewish Quarter. The site of the Moroccan Quarter is now a large open plaza leading up to Western Wall.

Good Pic!:cheers:

long life to palestine !!!!!!!!!!

In 1948 thousands of Arabs fled the newly founded nation, Israel, those who remained received Israeli citizenship, vote and can be elected for the Knesset (Parliament). And all neighbours declared war on Israel, they lost the wars and territory again and again... This is the way Israel treats the Arabs. I am sure these lines will not be deleted and I will not be banned because if you want Palestine to be a free country, let's begin by teling the truth; maybe things will take different road...

Hello, these photos (and the ones in Gaza and Ramallah threads) shpw that at least as far as material civilization is concerned Palestina is much more developed and advanced than often is thought here, the media always talk about war and misery but this looks like a prosperous place, even Gaza blockaded city looks like a prosperous place with no food shortage, nothing like Utrecht ior Amsterdam in WWII or still long years after when everything was rationed and stores often empty.
What are the sources of wealth in Palestine, media always talk of strangulated economy due to roadblocks and blockaded territories
