Jenin was once one of the most dangerous places in the West Bank — the source of many suicide bombers going into Israel, and one of the most heavily-occupied cities in the occupied territories.
But today, Jenin is the center of an international effort to build a safe and economically prosperous Palestinian state from the ground up. A growing 
Palestinian Authority security force, mostly trained in Jordan by the U.S. and loyal to President Mahmoud Abbas, now operates in the West Bank, and foreign investment in the region is up almost 100 percent from last year.
This week, Now on PBS reports from Jenin to see if what was once a militant stronghold can really become a model for peace in the region. Now talks with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the international community’s envoy to the region, and with a former commander of the infamous Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade about his decision to stop using violent tactics.

Greetings:
It’s always the case that in anything about the Israeli Palestinian problem the Palestinians are expected to make all the ‘big moves’. The Palestinians are expected to disarm and in the case of the “Heart of Jenin” make the bold humanitarian gestures.
Israel and the Jews, however, are always hiding behind the excuses of “Those Muslims over there just want to kill jews.” I beckon the Israelis and the Jews to look at what they are doing to the Palestinains i.e., depriving them food and water, keeping them under GULAG GHETTO conditions(Gaza). The Jews are doing everything to deserve the feelings of hatered and anger.
Any accusation the Jews make about Muslims are false. The examples that proove the falsehood of what the Jews speak are Uthman Ibn ‘Affan(Allah be happy with him)when he took over Jerusalem and the land of Canaan. He did not expel the Jews and lead pogroms agaisnt them. Nay! Rather, he allowed them to stay and be ruled according to Jewish law.
Another Example is Salahuddin Ayubi(Allah have mercy on him), he did not expel the Jews and lead pogroms against them.
Consider those examples and then consider the Example of the Israelis and Jews who routinely proclaim that the land is ONLY for Jews. “G-d gave it to us and it is only for us” is the proclamation and pronouncement of the Jews living in Israel and the Jews in Manhattan who support them.
Jews and Christians have the innate yearning to want to portray Islam as something separate. I TELL YOU, that Moses(Peace be upon him), Jesus(Peace be upon him) are the Messangers and Prophets of Allah. YOU CANNOT BE A MUSLIMS UNLESS YOU RECKOGNIZE THOSE FACTS. In Islam the Messengers such as Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus(Peace be upon them all) are Upright and Noble Muslim Messengers of Allah(The Exalted).
These are facts that are being with held from the American public.
Be positive and supportive. There are too many people already throwing loggs into the fire…
