I "spoke" (msn-messenger!!) with a friend from Gaza the other day, just after the new palestinian unity government was founded, asking her what she thought about it. We sighed over the internet to the sometimes seemingly hopeless situation. As for the big picture, what do you think, I asked, a one state- or a two state-solution? She answered;
"One. For Jews, Muslims and Christians."
Ok, I said, but then what would you name it? Of course refering to the much more complicated story of who would run it. I was expecting either "Palestine, of course!" or "It would be more practical to keep Israel" or anything like that. There was silence for a while... and then the msn showed that she was typing again...
"The Promised Land."
(My name suggestion was on a much much more silly level; "Paelestine", using the AEL from Israel. Laugh at it, please.)

About Me
- Imaan On Ice
- I started blogging while living in Gaza City. After a break I'm now ready to pick up the pieces again. Here's my life as it it, sometimes boring but mostly amazing. Love, peace and understanding rules. And in all seriousness, let's be able to laugh at it all.

Bait Al-Maqdis is what our land will always be called. Always.
Just came across your blog today and it's cool.
BAIT AL-MAQDIS is what it will always be called.
Wow. It sounds way way too good to be true, hehe. Allow me to add further.. If it becomes a country for everyone and we will all live peacefully and set a good example to the world, the name The Promised Land will only add to its uniqueness and tourists will be pouring by thousands to see this wonder country of the world that once had been a center of the middle-eastern conflict and now has become the most peaceful place on earth.
P.S. The Promised Land contains both the word Palestine and Israel in it. :)
Laugh at it, please.
Imaan, Why not Isratine ? That's what Qaddafi recommended ages ago.
Hey, you said laugh :-)
I'm laughing alright :-)
I would love such a country...
