Hi, welcome to Wikipedia. Nice to see that we have someone also who doesn't focus on controversial things so much. I've seen many of your edits, and they are generally very good. Welcome, I hope you'll stay here! --Daniel575 | (talk) 13:12, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good cooperation on Orient House resulted in sensible compromises by both sides and factual descriptions in the article. Thanks! --Gabi S. 10:21, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Though I want some credit on the user page which you borrowed from me somewhat, right ? :) Also btw on the Orient House my uploaded picture ;) . Btw, you haven't answered my question - is the arabic name for settlements include jaffa, haifa and so on ? Becuase if it does, it's not in the correct article which deals only with green line. Amoruso 15:09, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Amoruso. Thanks for the Orient House picture it enhanced the level of the article. Cheers for the user page stuff, it kick started me in the right direction (i no longer need it :P ). As to the answer to your question, the arabic name for settlements DOSE NOT include jaffa, haifa. The word Mustamaraat or Mustawtanaat deals only with green line. Palestine4816:14, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I see you changed the userpage, it's very nice. I see you also borrowed the "return" phrase :) nice twist. Thanks for the reply. If you come to Palestine/Israel again, maybe one day we can meet in peace. Cheers. Amoruso 16:16, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You don't have to add a _ between words for internal links; a simple link with double [ and double ] will automatically end up right, with the spaces in it. (Concerning this edit) I agree that more pics might be nice, but on the other hand, Wikipedia isn't a photo gallery. We could add hundreds of pics... I would want to, but I doubt whether others agree. --Daniel575 | (talk) 12:59, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, too many pictures will spoil the article, I am just suggesting a wider selection of photos to widen the readers impression of the city. A limit to the number and quality of pictures should be set, inline with each subsection . Palestine48 15:32, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

dear Palestine48,

you wrote "What about Western Wall and underground Synagogues (all part of al-Haram al-Sharif or Temple Mount)??)[1]" the Jews at the Western Wall pray in the large plaza (formerly mugrabi neighborhood) adjacent to the Haram; they in no way penetrate the area of the Haram. there are even those amongst the more strictly Orthodox that take care not to put their fingers between the stones of the Wall so they wouldn't enter the Haram even sightly.

and which "underground Synagogues" do you refer to? if you mean the Western Wall Tunnel, i know that it doesn't penetrate the Western Wall by even the slightest - i dug there, participating in the archeological excavations, and I'm generally very familiar with the area.

hope to read your reply,

Shilonite 14:30, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Shilonite, I think i was out of focus in regards to the underground tunnel [2]. My point is that you used the word "excluded". Is this true or not in terms of Israeli police/IDF? and can you provide a source? Is this true or not in terms of the Waqf? and can you provide a source? Also,those who are exluded why are they exluded?. I think the information can be better prsented in the Modern significance subsection.

Palestine48 15:56, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For some time now I am suggesting a site with all the names of killed palestinians since the stat of the intifada, do you have any soruces?

i suggest you browse through http://www.palestinemonitor.org/factsheet/Palestinian_intifada_fact_sheet.htm but what i found very informing is this site: http://www.pnic.gov.ps/arabic/shohada/shohada.html (if you don't read arabic i can help out).

Palestine48 03:26, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

r u administrator, do we have sites here, do you have in your land? Administrators? Ok, but that site should be on wiki. Can you find out, some people in israel told me, then lebanon israeli conflict, there are more than 119 dead israeli soldiers, can you find out how many for real died, especially from wounds later on?>

No I am not an administrator, if i understood you correctly i agree that an artice to the subject discussed above must be included in Wikipedia. As for the Israeli Soldiers killed i can get the number but what are your plans ? are you registered at Wiki and how can i help you more."إذا عندك أي مشكلة في فهم الإنجليزية يمكنك المشاركة بلعربية على هذه الصفحة."

Sorry for the late response, but I just wanted to say hi and welcome to WP. As you probably noticed, a lot of articles could use a lot of help, so I'm glad to see you on board. While I'm unable to be as active as I used to be (for the time being), I look forward to working and collaborating with you. هل زرت فلسطين مؤخراً؟؟ Ramallite ^(talk) 14:17, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks mate, i was planning to start a list of palestinian dead from 1948-present and to expand the Westbank cities articles amongst other things. .لا، و لكن أخطت لزيارة في صيف 2007

Palestine48 16:02, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just read article over 800 kids were killed by israelis... I like the truth, israel is not tellig much... and I need exact dead of israeli soldiers in lebanon, is it really 119, what about dead from wounds? I am a historian and somebody who likes to see truth told, I am neutral in this conflict but... after Arafat died your people are truly suffering, israel and usa said, it will be better, he was obstacle to peace, that is not so now, so where do you leave? You can call me George. Yea, do we have any websites on dead palestinians? I am otherwise historian. Let me know soon. We need to fight for truth and justice especially on wiki. I have found many incorrect things on Arafat and much more which I corrected and so far it seems to be ok.

Thank you for your intrest George, as for Israeli soldiers killed, the number i have is 119 (from IDF) and 130 (from Hizbulah sources). the websites i have on dead palestinian i listed above. Thanks for your kind words of support. Just out of intrest, where are you from George. I am British and I live in the UK.

Hello, I've found alot of the edits you've made to the dhabiha halal page to be non-neutral POV. Thus I am tagging the page.Starwarp2k2 21:30, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see why you would do so, can you give me a reason to why you tagged it?

Palestine48 22:25, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be glad to clarify

• Also the Dhabiĥa of Christians of the present age are lacking in Islamic methods and contradict Muslim belief, thus making their Dhabiĥa Haraam

That is a statement of opinion and of your interpretation. There are many people who can and DO beleive otherwise.

• As for the Jews, they too lack certain in Islamic methods and leave out the Takbeer (saying: God is Great) and change the method of Dhabiĥa, thus, even their slaughter is considered Haraam.

Who considers it haraam? You? Everyone? I know many people consider it halal, rendering your statement not only POV, but also incorrect.

Starwarp2k2 17:34, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You have a valid point to some extent, the Jammah (Majority) Opinion state that if no Halal meat is available then, you can eat meat and poultry slaughtered by People of The Book (except for unclean animals).

What I am trying to say is that it is Haraam to consume meat slaughtered by present day people of the book (unless they are religious i.e. practising believers and they declare the name of God before slaughter of each animal).

As for People of the Book working in Islamic slaughterhouses, if they are practising Jews and Christians and they fellow the Islamic method of slaughter then there is no harm in that.

Palestine48 12:26, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know exactly what you are trying to say, but what you are trying to say is your opinion, not undisputable fact.Starwarp2k2 07:03, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have to disagree with you on one point and agree with you on another. It is true that my contribution to the article is not a clear undisputed fact but at the same time it is not just my opinion, a considerable number of Muslims believe in what I stated in my previous posts. I suggest that both schools of thought should be clearly represented.

Palestine48 09:00, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I hold no hard feelings against you or your edits, and I hope that is mutual.Starwarp2k2 20:31, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please take a look at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion/Log/2006/October/16. It seems that some people want to remove any reference to Palestine. --Hossein.ir 12:37, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I put a comment in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Islam:The Muslim Guild too. Is there any wikiproject about Palestine.--Sa.vakilian 18:37, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Sa.vaklilian please spread the word. BTW, I edited some Islam related articles and i hope to join the guild soon to help out more ishallah.--Palestine48 00:59, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since you have a photo of members of a small group called Neturei Karta with the caption "There is hope", you should know that they are being paid by the PA. It's well-known. [3] For some reason, the leadership feels it more necessary to use their billions and billions and billions to finance people like this or Arafat's widow in her Paris mansion rather than the Palestinian people. Furthermore, Neturei does support the idea of all Jews returning to Israel, but AFTER the Messiah comes. You should just know what their motives are as it is not that they think the Palestinians are a poor people who need help, but rather a tool for the dismantling of the State of Israel that their interpretations believe to be a violation of religious tradition. --Shamir1 22:08, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Shamir1, Well I don't only support Neturei Karta, there a number of Satmar leaders who are against Zionism and the degradation of the Palestinian people. I am not against the Jewish People but I see no hope in the current State of Israel. Also, I have many points on Arafat’s internal dealings but I admire him greatly for his non bolstering position on three crucial issues:

• Position on Jerusalem.
• Right of Return to Refuges.
• 1967 borders, State of Palestine.

The dismantling of the State of Israel doesn’t correspond to the dismantling of the Jewish People. As it stands now there are two real options:

• A secular State for all (Muslim, Christian and Jew)
• Two states Palestine & Israel (Both Safe and Contiguous).

Occupation and Military law only breeds hate. I remember the stories that my father told us about his Jewish teacher and how our family used to invite his family around to visit all the time, and A close family friend used to tell us how his father protected Jewish families from the Arab rioters in Hebron. --Palestine48 00:49, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
