How to say in Palestinian:

Since facebook is owned by a jew. I wonder when Arab/Muslim will invent social-network like this? But more interesting.

how to say to a palestinian girl:

since u sent me that link twice, i think i better like your page

Kaka what does the last part mean? but more interesting?

iza wa7ad yahodi byimlok el facebook, mata el 3arab/moslimeen ra7 yi3milo shabke ijtima3iye hek..

The answer - when they get their acts together

How come everyone's suddenly a fan of Palestine?
