Yet more "peaceful" stuff out of Lebanon
Lebanon refuses to even think about a peace deal with Israel. Ever. Period. For any reason. Unless, of course, Israel gives Jerusalem to the Muslims. Then Lebanon might, just might, be willing to talk peace. Until then, says Lebanon, they will be the absolute last country to ever, ever, ever sign a deal with Israel. So much for peace.
Jerusalem. Yerushalayim. Founded by King David. A Jewish man, if I'm not much mistaken. Well, okay, founded in actuality by the Canaanites, but I don't think they're still laying claim. I hope.
"According to Midrash, Jerusalem was founded by Shem and Eber, ancestors of Abraham. Further, the Bible mentions that the city was controlled by the Jebusites until its conquest by David, at a date subsequently placed at about 1000 BCE." (Wikipedia)
Seems to me that just because some guy had a weird dream in which he traveled to Jerusalem shouldn't really be the basis for an actual claim. If that were to hold up in court, I myself could personally lay claim to Buckingham Palace, Honolulu, and Brad Pitt.
