Palestine before 1947.

Quite the topic as new peace talks are to begin in Jerusalem, Israel.

Who were the builders of Palestine before 1947?

Jews around the world contributed to build in Palestine.

In 1947, there was no such description as “west bank”,

they built in a place called Judea and Samaria.

Year after year, before there was the United Jewish Appeal,

there was the United Palestine Appeal.

Before there was a country of Israel with Israeli citizens,

there were builders who worked and lived in the land.

Jews have a long history of building, in spite of Arab neighbors trying to kill them.

There was a strong Jewish community in Hebron, until August 24,1929,

when Arab neighbors rioted and murdered 67 men, women and children.

Facts to remember, as convicted murders are to be set free.

Facts that narratives want out of their way.

I lived in the United States, Canada and Australia before moving to Israel in the midst of the Second Lebanon War. For the last ten years, walking the streets of Jerusalem, the scenes I saw every day did not resemble the ones familiar in the Western media. Now I try to share those positive images with the world, what is really happening in Jerusalem, Israel, The Real Jerusalem Streets
