    Markisi's brilliantly used the (so called ) museum of tolerance , to sum up all the injustices against the Palestinians.But what stood out is his answer to one of the audience asking about "Palestinians rejections of all the piece proposal " . This was his response to this old myth.


    There has been no serious attempt to enable,on the part of Israel,a Palestinian state , the most obvious single piece of evidence one need to think about in that regard is that Israeli's colonisation of the occupied territories has not stopped for one moment since it began in 1967, so if Israel are so interested in creating a Palestinian state , and they've done so much to facilitate the creation of a Palestinian state , and those naughty irresponsible Palestinians keep saying NO NO NO then why is it that the israelis keep building and building and building in the territory that should be turned over into a Palestinian state , how could the Israelis both want to create a Palestinian state and yet build on the very land that is supposedly turned into a Palestinian state

    The UN issued a report in 2007 that showed almost 40% of the West Bank now is taken up by infrastructure that is off limit to Palestinians , only for Jews.
    So What that mean is that half of the West Bank is gone and the 60% that remains is broken up into little islands
