1. BEEN TALKING FOR 2000 YEARS ALREADY
DACON9   (08.20.06)
2. Blair simply has No Credibility
Ricardo   (08.20.06)
Either inside UK Nor outside He allowed US to transport Weapons to Israel via UK ..a Disgrace to him and his goverment
3. Of course he was rejected
Ragusa   (08.20.06)
-although he is one statesman of honesty and integrety. I fear he was rejected because israel does not want peace with it's neighbours. Israel needs the glue of a common outside enemy and constant conflict to keep the country from falling apart in internal strides between all the extremist factions of israeli society so richly represented here in Talkback. The greatest danger to israel will emerge the day the arab nations will come to its senses and offer an honest and reasonable peace.
4. #2 funny response - made me laugh - thanks ?
michael ,   tel aviv & london   (08.20.06)
I'm surprised you didn't include Bush ?! Then we'd have had a real belly laugh! Blair is without one of the most respected MPs in the world and will go down in history as one of the best UK PMs ever. Of course he comes in for criticism - he's a statesman who does what he believes is right and not a politician who does what is convenient and easy. But you knew that didn't you.
5. Peace with Palestine
anne ,   Bournemouth Uk   (08.20.06)
One day someone will realise that whilst people are telling you that they want you dead and gone it is hard to believe that they also want peace and to live alongside of you...

7. YO! BLAIR!
ISHMAEL ISHMAEL ,   TORONTO CANADA   (08.20.06)
YO! Blair! Stick to buying sweaters for Bush. Those videos that were in Foster's hands mean that you are not in control of your life or your country. Your role in Di and Dodi's 'crash' to prevent a Muslim heir to the UK monarchy is also in the hands of France and the Mossad. You are a laughing stock to them. Go fish. You are not credible.
8. To 1

15. Since When Do Arabs WORLDWIDE Want Peace?
H ,   Jerusalem   (08.20.06)
The Arabs want all of Israel, all of Europe, all of America and Canada and Africa. Nothing less will give them "peace". It's about time Blair and other Left appeasers understand the beastly mentality of Arabs.

17. Britain No longer has the Mandate Mr Blair
Sid Emess   (08.20.06)
ITS TIME BLAIR AND HIS COURT JEW, LORD LEVY, MINDED THEIR OWN BUSINESS. THE UK RENAGED UPON THE MANDATE IN CASE THEY FORGOT AND DID NOT CREAT A JEWISH HOMELAND IN THE LAND OF OUR FATHERS - THEY FISTLY GAVE AWAY 70% PLUS TO A TRIBE FROM SAUDIA ARABIA AND CREATED AN ARAB HOMELAND ON OUR LAND BUT NOT A JEWISH HOMELAND . NOW BLAIR AND HIS PUPPET COURT JEW PLAN TO GIVE AWAY MORE - GO HOME TONY - TAKE MICHAEL WITH YOU AND SORT OUT YOUR OWN BACKYARD.
18. Avoid London becoming Londonistan
KMR ,   Middle East   (08.20.06)
Blair need to do something so as to avoid London transforming into Londonistan. It would be illusion that all terrorist acts stops when Palestinian issue resolved. Islamic terrorism going to be a never ending problem.

Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (08.20.06)

20. 8 Chris: Bubelah wake up to history Bubelah
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (08.20.06)
Now Stop posting crap and BS Another fact you have not learned - The term "Palestinian" is itself a masterful twisting of history. To portray themselves as indigenous, Arab settlers adopted the name of an ancient Mediterranean tribe, the Philistines ("Invaders" in Hebrew), that disappeared out over almost 3000 years ago. The connection between this tribe and modern day Arabs is nil. Romans, in order to conceal their shame and anger with rebellious regions, changed the references to Judea and Samaria by naming them Palestine. 1. Nationhood and Jerusalem - Israel became a nation in the 14th century B.C.E. Two thousand years before the rise of Islam. 2. Since 1272 B.C.E. the Jews have had dominion over the land for up to 1,000 years with a continuous Jewish presence in the land for the past 3,300 years. 3. The only Arab dominion since the Arab invasion and conquest in 635 C.E. lasted no more than 22 years. 4. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem. 5. For over 3,000 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their capital and Arab leaders did not come to visit. 6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy Scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran. 7. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray facing Mecca (often with their backs toward Jerusalem). 8. In 1854, according to a report in the New York Tribune, Jews constituted two-thirds of the population of that holy city. 9. In 1867, Mark Twain took a tour of Palestine. This is how he described that land: A desolate country whose soil is rich enough but is given over wholly to weeds. A silent, mournful expanse. We never saw a human. 10. In 1882, official Ottoman Turk census figures showed that, in the entire Land of Israel, there were only 141 000 Muslims, both Arab and non-Arab. 11. A travel guide to Palestine and Syria was published in 1906 by Karl Baedeker; estimated the total population of Jerusalem at 60,000, of whom 7,000 were Muslims, 13,000 were Christians and 40,000 were Jews. 12. In 1922, with what was widely acknowledged as the illegal separation of Transjordan, the Jews were forbidden to settle on almost 77% of the Palestine, while Arab settlement went unrestricted and encouraged by British mandatory authority. Did you know that Saudi Arabia was not created until 1913, Lebanon until 1920? Iraq did not exist as a nation until 1932, Syria until 1941; the borders of Jordan were established in 1946 and Kuwait in 1961. Any of these nations that would say Israel is only a recent arrival would have to deny their own rights as recent arrivals as well. They did not exist as countries. They were all under the control of the Turks. Over 80% of the original British Mandate land was given to Arabs without population transfer of Arabs from the land designated for Jews.
21. #15
nabeel ,   US   (08.21.06)
"the beastly mentality of Arabs." Wow, sounds like a the rantings of someone who is filled with hate. You know the Nazi's probably said the same thing of the Jews during the holocaust. Did I just make an anti-semetic statement? Don't worry, I think Ynet will probably censor this post as they do with all the others.
22. to the clueless and ignorant regusa
Laura   (08.21.06)
The worst thing that could happen to the arabs is to make peace with Israel. What would happen to the arab regimes once they could no longer scapegoat Israel? What would become of the terrorist fiends of hezbollah, hamas, islamic jihad et al? Most probably they would start shooting and bombing each other as they did once Israel left Gaza, as is the case in Iraq. It is the arab muslims that need an external enemy to scapegoat.
23. Who said that Israel wants peace ??
