u didnt mention that they gave him the scarf when it says that jerusalem belong to the palestinians and that he has a map of 1948 which is only the palestinians cities, u didnt mention they tricked him with this and it became a major diplomatic prob!
but of course i dont expect it from a palestinian, btw dont get me wrong, im 100% puerto rican!
Did it become a diplomatic problem? I'm not aware of that. But that does not change the fact that Jerusalem is part of Palestine and it's the occupied capital of Palestinians. This fact can't not be changed, nor a Palestinian will trick anyone about it cause it is a belief historical fact, wither the world accept it or not (although UN resolutions support that too).
i like ricky martin …he is the best
Yes it became a political prob,1st, the fact jerusalem is "palestinian" isnt even true, theres no nation called palestinian, palestinians were a biblical nation when the brits got the land they called it palestine because there were arabs across the sea like the bibilical nation used to live there! thats one, 2nd, the only country that has "palestinians" is JORDAN but lets go back since u claim that jerusalem is palest and occupied who had before it? the palestinians? the arabs? lemmie tell u b4 jews earned it fairly, there were arabs and turques( the othmanic emp) b4 it who it who was? christians and b4? JEWS so eh yallah tal3 barra!
3rd the diplomatic prob caused that the jordanic ppl gave him sth they should give the fact they done it CAUSED A DIPLOMATIC PROB but dont worry Israel has MADONNA u have only Ricky….
I'm not worried. But I feel sorry for you!
Anyway, if you are happy with what you said, then that's the problem. Clearly you need to read more and search more to know the truth. I can see you are in early stages of Zionism thoughts.
My advise, try to be biased in your thought for some time from what you learned so far, and then go for more reading and searching the opposite side of the story. I'm sure you will change your mind.
Take care…I'm not worried. But I feel sorry for you!

its not about happiness its about talking about the turth, dont feel sorry for me as a christian who lives with muslims i dont need ur pities, i dont need to read nothing its enough living with shit like you i learnt enough and read enough but more important i SAW enough and its not new what muslims do i do feel sorry about u 1st cuz u cant type a normal message, 2nd is that for what u read or got brain washed beliving on a religion that her prophet raped a 9 year old girl oh wait did she agree do marry him? dont feel sorry for me, feel sorry for yourself 1st! u cannot fool me, i come from you!
:-D
very nice!
Come back when you learn to communicate. Now you have two things to learn…
Really Michelle, what a disgusting way to express yourself. Such language is suitable for the gutter, not for here.
michelle, haitham was a very smart guy in his response, he seems to be a grown up and educated. Well I am not..
So I can answer you the way I know to answer, you are a stupid mother fucker and you need to go fuck yourself, and if you are man enough to tell me your address i will be at your door by the end of the day to knock the living shit out of your ass.
Fuck You
Have A Nice Day
By the way micheal,
u 1st cuz u cant type a normal message ???
Look at your fuckin mess, your grammer is that of a 4 year old, have you ever heard of a fuckin period ? Or you just like doing run-on sentances ? So you can't debate, can't talk, what can you do? And yeh my offer is still up, give me your address and i will find your ass, and you can bring your entire ignorant family with you(if they think like you). As you know we muslims have many kids, so i will bring, ali, hassan, and houssin, and mohamad, and mahmoud, and abdalah. And you bring gay ass George and Joseph and what ever other gay names you have, and we will do this like men.
Take it easy, Ahmed.
Flames are not accepted here, cause they give an excuse for some people to turn this into a useless word war.
On the other hand, answering such persons like michelle is a waste of time and bandwidth.
Well sorry, but he is such a retard, he got into me..It is a crime for him to be alive…
Nevermind :-)
"its not about happiness its about talking about the turth" — What do you know about truth???
"dont feel sorry for me as a christian who lives with muslims i dont need ur pities" — Who brought up a Muslim Christian subject here???
"i dont need to read nothing its enough living with shit like you i learnt enough and read enough but more important i SAW enough and its not new what muslims do i do feel sorry about u" — I'm a Palestinian Christian and I've learnt enough too. What's your point??
Michelle, if you're having problems with Muslims, then that's your personal problem. Palestine is an Arab land, it holds Musilms, Christians, and Jews, nobody can claim its ownership BUT Palestinians (as people), and NOT Jews (as a religion).
And YES I do live with all Muslims, and I don't see what is your problem here? Being a Christian is something personal, ok? Being a Palestinian is something I would LOVE to share with all my people.
Palestine, 7abibi michelle has nothing to do with religion. We Christians here have the same concerns and rights as Muslims, you know why?? Because we are all Palestinians.
And talking about the prophet, I know all these stupid "christian" stories about him, and I would like to assure you that Mohammad IS a prophet, and you should respect him, if you should respect Jesus. So please when you wanna talk about Palestine don't ever bring up religion…for only Zionists who bring up religion to claim their fake property.
"Michelle" is a woman's name (you're thinking of "Michel") but we don't really know who this person is; he/she might be a total impostor who does not live in Lebanon at all.
Yay Ricky!
Hi Anne, we do have “Michelle” as a guy's name in Arabic.
Thanks anywayZ
Michelle is [if he is really from Lebanon]…just a tincy bit upset apset about SLA/Kataab being chucked into Isreal [because not even the US/UK/France wanted such idiotic morons]… o_0
LOL lay down the hashisha…and go listen to Carole Samaha:
'Intaaaaaaa meen wala barif ay loun walla den"
Though I doubt your Lebanese, if you are you make me sick.
in lebanon we are living both muslims & christians in peace… theres no place 4 such ignorant thoughts..
love u ricky mrtin more milllion times with this shawl…
Michelle is just a complete idiot.
If you don't want to live with Muslims then leave your country.
People have let religion overlook their national identity which is a big mistake.
and Israel is the cancer of the Middle East
Long live the Palestinian peole!
And Israel..Lebanon will never forget what you did in Sabra!
just ignore the racist michelle… we christians and muslims regardless of being Palestinians or lebanese, syrians or jordanians etc, are ALL brothers and sisters. We should ignore what ever petty issues we might have had and realise that we have tremendous potential together! in the end we have the SAME roots but different religious beliefs, which I think is a purely personal matter! leave religion aside and realise that we are one family!
plz respect and love each other, coz we belong together. And let us unite against the people that wants us to hate each other coz that is not going to happen!
a note to Michelle: and who had palestine before the JEWS? go read history books and you will find out the people they call palestinians today are descendants of people that came to palestine thousands of years before the israellites migration into palestine…read for instance Nebel et als' work on geneology, you will be surprised about a thing or two.
What happen to you ricky you just drop out of site with out saying anything. Im a big fan and stuff but come on man make some more CD's I miss listening to that pop sound. Your fan Jesse
yay go ricky martin
its nice to see someone famous being openly pro-palestinian
those who say that Palestine is rightfully the Jews land, well they are deluded and arrogant. the Arabs, whether they are Christian or Muslim have
every right to stay in their country, and i just hope they can stay strong against the israelies.
much love
x
What an idiot! Shame on your education system for teaching you lies.
Back to the original post, its good celebrities are highlighting Middle East issues more western ones with a brain should do it too.
Michelle ente akid mih lebnanyee W eza kentee lebnanyee btkun min jame3et ja3ja3 W bss badek te7kee ble sysee ma dakhle l den ne7naa hon b lebnen 3ayshen islam W mas7yee W mer7en fa eza bade te7ke ble sysee ma dakhlee W denn ya3ne ana b2saf enu ba3ed fi b denya nes jehlee W omyee mtel ahskleek W ( mo3aka 3aklyan ) yalla cyaa ..
ricky does rock.. hes awesome and i wish i was there to see this.. but about what this idiot said… seriously? where do u come from u stupid idiot? what r u talking about? u obviously live in a totally different world. and you cant generalize, just talk abou urself(ur stinky, horrible, selfish self) cuz im sure NOBODY agrees with the crap u said. ur not wanted here and nobody wants to hear what you think cuz ppl like you dont deserver to be heard. i live around arabs AND muslims, and i think they're the best ppl i've ever came across. they're nice and genuine in everything they do. im currently engaged to an arab, and he happens to be the love of my life, he opened my eyes to new things and new thoughts that i never knew before. i really do hope that ur not an arab and ur just an imposter because its truly disappointing and sad to see these kinds of examples . and i really do hope that you become as half educated as the people u are talking bad about. c ya babe.. good luck in ur life
#2 what does being "100% Puerto rican" have to do with ricky martin? he is an educated Boricua just like many other's who support paletine. he obviously knew what he was doing because he was at a Palestinian event and he is a goodwill embasador. P.s someother lose said Israel has moddona but who gives a crap about her old shriveled vagina, Palestinians have the support of Angelina Jolie. Palestine 4 ever. Beit hanina,PA out!
P.S. michelle we are not like the lebanese, Palestinians are 1, we have no religous hatred towards each other like in lebanon because we all suffer toghther as one and we are all the same flesh and blood and have the same traditions and language.
Hi!!
Michelle, u r mistaken, there is nothing called jerusalem it's only palestine, but since jewish ppl have no country, they wanted to take the most beautiful country u have ever seen!! ppl, it's palestine and palestine is graet!! we won't let it go!! we r gna get it bak.
Plus since u r from lebanon u should feel sry for Palesinian ppl having no shelter cuz u are an ARAB don't u think so?
LET PALESTINE LIVE 4 EVER!!!
LOSERS!!!!!!!!!!!
why do you focus on what he is wearing rather than the fact that he is a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador and just like all other ambassadors he joins charity work and supports such work, this is the job of a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador , it just shows how ARROGANT and IGNORANT people are and how they encourage evil by putting him down for wearing a traditional arab scarf when he is in an arab country as a a guest-of-honour at the Arab Children Congress, seriosly what is he doing that is so wrong , you people are all jealous of how good he looks in the scarf and how this traditional scarf is a symbol of arab heritage, get real and its just a scarf and just like theres no fuss made about other traditional ethnic pieces of clothing worn by other celebs there needs to be no fuss about this as well and talk about "wanting peace" and saying arabs are evil then why do people hate this scarf so much and are against it ,it shows people's true colours , if they can't accept a scarf then how can they accept a person!!!!!!!!
hell ya go muslims we are soo hot .look at ricky martin in a muslim country doesnt he look soo good .anyways my point is palestin is always going to be a arab muslim country and we all know that come on now. and all you haters,out there just convert to islam and trust me it wil all go away you will feel better.love to all and to every muslim we rock this world yeah and every body knows it.
