JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli police made a dozen arrests Wednesday as scuffles erupted between Arabs and Israelis who were marching across Jerusalem to mark the anniversary of Israel’s capture of the eastern part of the city in the 1967 Mideast war.
Thousands of Israelis marched through the city Wednesday waving flags and dancing for Jerusalem Day celebrations Wednesday.
The procession went through the largely Arab neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, past a contentious Jewish enclave there. Left-wing protesters scuffled with marchers and two people were arrested.
Police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld said one Israeli and one Arab were later hurt when the sides threw rocks at each other near Jerusalem’s Old City. Rosenfeld said four Arabs and a tourist were arrested for assaulting the Israeli marchers.
Two other Arabs, a man and a woman, were arrested for yelling anti-Semitic slurs, including praise for Adolph Hitler and for spitting at the marchers.
Five Israelis also were arrested for attacking Arabs, Rosenfeld said.
Palestinians claim east Jerusalem as the capital of their future state.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Jerusalem will never be divided. His long-standing policy puts him at odds with the Palestinians and much of the world.
The future of Jerusalem is one of the toughest and most emotional issues that Israel and Palestinians need to work out for a peace agreement.

Posted on June 2, 2011 at 10:03amThe Arabs refused the original 1947 partion plan that Transjordan, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia all accepted thinking they were gonna push the jews into the sea in a matter of hours. Ben Gurion pleaded in newspapers and on radio for the Arabs not to leave, to stay and become part of Israel. It was the promise of free Jew homes and wealth to be shared by all Arabs, the deep seeded hate that all Muslims have for Jews that motivated the Arab. They were ‘shocked and awed’ instead when tiny Israel survived!!! Since its establishment in 1948, the State of Israel has fought defensive actions in seven recognized wars, two Palestinian Intifadas, and a series of armed conflicts in the broader Arab-Israeli conflict.

Posted on June 2, 2011 at 9:45amGod has chosen Israel, not Ishmael–the Arabs just can’t seem to accept that biblical fact. Genesis 16:7-16 describes the naming of Ishmael, and Yahweh’s promise to Ishmael and his descendents. This occurred at the well of Beer-lahai-roi, located in the desert region between Abram’s settlement and Shur. It was here that Hagar encountered an angel of God (Yahweh) after she had fled from Abram’s camp, due to a harsh confrontation with Sarai. The angel instructed Hagar to return to the settlement and be submissive to Sarai so that she could have her child there. The blessing that this child‘s father was promised was that Abram’s descendants would be as numerous as the dust of the earth. The promise would be extended to this child, who would be named Ishmael. The angel continued that “he shall be a wild ass of a man: his hand shall be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; ….” My, my … how true this scripture is especially in our day and age.

Posted on June 2, 2011 at 3:37pmNothing in the reports say anything about Israelis being involved except for the autor of the websites made up fantasies. All of the reports don’t indicate anything of what the website owner makes up of there being Israelis involved. So just like i can make up a post saying any lie so could he. I suppose you didnt watch the video. Also as a resident of New Jersey that works in New York that was on the New Jersey Turnpike at the time of the attack on the WTC i can tell you that there is no way to be observing the WTC from the any area near the George washington Bridge. Of course the author of the website who likes to make things up figures that no one will challenge him on this fact.
