Quotes About "Palestine"


Remember: Israel is bad! Its existence keeps reminding Muslims what a bunch of losers they are. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"There will be no peace until they will love their children more than they hate us."

-Golda Meir-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more ‎violence. If the Jews put ‎down their weapons ‎today, there would be no ‎more Israel'‎

~Benjamin Netanyahu~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Peace of us means the destruction of Israel. We are preparing for an all out war, a war which will last for generations.

~Yasser Arafat~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Throughout his authorized biography (Alan Hart, Arafat: terrorist or peace maker) Arafat asserts at least a dozen times: "The Palestinian people have no national identity. I, Yasser Arafat, man of destiny, will give them that identity through conflict with Israel."

~ Yasser Arafat ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel. For our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of Palestinian people, since Arab national interest demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism".

Mini Israel

Israel Guide in 60 minutes!

About the park:

A must for every tourist that comes to Israel
Mini Israel in Latrun is the “Showcase of Israel.” Exhibited in it are hundreds of amazingly exact models, at a scale of 1:25, of the most important architectural, historic, archeological, religious and social sites as well as buildings of importance to all religions and cultures inhabiting the country. The 25,000 miniature “Israeli” residents in the models are all… 7cm in height!!

Since its opening in 2002, Mini Israel has turned into one of the most popular tourist attractions, primarily due to its ideal location , and also because Israeli tourists of all ages, denominations and communities find their most beloved and cherished sites and buildings presented “at eye level.”

Exhibits are periodically updated and renewed, therefore each visit ensures discovering new corners, sites, scenes and attractions which were not there before.

Mini Israel, the Israeli city of miniatures, is located in the Latrun region, near the Armored Corps Memorial and the Trappist Monastery.

The exhibit extends over an area of about 35,000 square meters (7.5 Acres) and offers its guests:

A Visitors’ Center with a food court, a souvenir shop, a miniature tree (bonsai) nursery and a meeting hall where a movie on the creation of the site is screened.

We wish you a visit filled with complete enjoyment.

The Temple Mount – Mount Moriah-Haram el-Sharif

The Temple Mount is the holiest site to Judsaism and the third holiest place to Islam. The First and Second Temples stood here,and orthodox Jews refrain from entering the holy precincts.

The Western Wall:
First century BCE, King Herod the Great

This is the most sacred site in the world for Jews, after the Temple Mount. Because the
Western Wall was one of the few elements of the Second Temple complex not destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD CE, many legends surround it, and in the sixteenth Century it became the focus of pilgrimage and prayers for redemption.

The wall is 60 meters long. The first seven courses of stone date back to the days of Herod the Great.

The Western Wall Tunnel, parallels to the entire length of the Temple Mount.

The Southern Wall Excavations:
Beneath Robinson's Arch ran a Herodian –era street lined with shops. The excavations continue along the southern wall of the Temple Mount to a flight of monumental steps that once led via the Hulda Gates to the Temple. Near the steps are the remains of numerous ritual baths and other structures.

The Masada model is the only archeological model in the park that has been partially reconstructed in order to illustrate the character of the original buildings.
The northern palace Herod built a palace for his family on the northern side of the plateau, on three rock terraces.

The bathhouse:
King Herod's bathhouse at Masada was in the best tradition of Rome. The reconstruction shows a cross-section of the Tepidarium (tepid bath) and the Caldarium (steam room),where the system for heating the air and water can be seen. The restored frescoes, based on the original remains, testify to the opulence of the Herodian period.

The Synagogue:
Masada's synagogue is one of the most ancient discovered in Israel,and dates to the period of the second temple. The reconstruction shows the changes made by the Zealots, who created a geniza (A STORAGE AREA FOR WORN SACRED SCROLLS) in the floor of the building.

This is the largest building on Masada,from which the fortress was administered when King Herod was present. During the siege , families of the rebels lived in the palace.Peek into the model to see the mosaics from King Herod's time, a cooking stove, and a bathtub built by the rebels.
