2. Tamir is a Bolshevik who wants to brainwash children

3. She Must Be Green With Envy
Yisrael Medad ,   Shiloh, Israel   (01.01.07)
If Yuli wants to show all maps in their historical context, I have no problem - including perhaps the Sullam map of Malchut Yisrael. But to sanctify a boundary line that was never permanent, had no recognition, and was a security danger, and to link that with her own political-ideological views, that has no business being accepted by a goverment ministry.
4. Historically, There Was Never A "Green Line" In OUR Land
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (01.01.07)
There was only such a thing for 19 years- out of THOUSANDS of years, and it isn't historical- or legal. What IS historical AND legal is that the land of Israel belongs to the nation of Israel. THIS is what our children need to learn.
5. (F)ail the Educators
Kate ,   Jerusalem   (01.01.07)
Regardless of what is thought or taught about the Green line - there IS one. Practically everyone in the world has heard of it - and few outside Israel really know what it is or what is was drawn for. An absolute shame if Israelis do not learn this line - by heart - and understand it well enough to have a real opinion. Our education system is failing our children - once again.
6. so stop critisizing us when map show only Palestine
Mohamed ,   Haifa Palestine   (01.01.07)
7. Who Knows "Green"
Kate ,   Jerusalem   (01.01.07)
How many respondants here Actually KNOW what the Green line is, how it started and why it's "Green"? Here are a few clues: 1) It is the Armstice Line between Israel and territories captured by Jordan at the end of the War of Independance. 2) It was not recognized as a "border" by any nation or the UN - excepting the UK and Iraq. 3) According to the Geneva Conventions of Warfare - Armstice lines cannot replace or become an international borders. 4) It is "the Green Line" because it was drawn in Green. Now - who can tell me WHY our children should not learn this in School? Or do they need to look up their entire education on Wikipeadia?
8. #6
Iossef ,   J'lem, Israel   (01.01.07)
It seems that on this point we agree. There is only one land from the Jordan to the mediterranean sea, and from the Golan to the Sinai. I call it Israel, you call it Palestine. This is the only difference :) But, don't forget, Falestinians was a grec people and they have been defeated by the jews !! Not a so good idea to have taken their name ;)
9. "Green Line"
Choni Davidowitz   (01.01.07)
Every time I hear the word green line, I refer to my Artscroll Chumash (Torah) P.923. Not once have I seen a green line. Maybe I should look somewhere else?
10. Hey Tamir
Eli ,   ranaana   (01.01.07)
In the words of Putney Swope, 'Tamir "just cause you got a nice set of tits don't mean you rule the world."'
11. Tamir: Dictator Leftist
Eliane   (01.01.07)
The children of Israel can and should know about the called "Green Line" really is. But Ms. Tamir wants something different. She wants to impouse her ideological thinkinees about this and other issues. She has to be dismissed imediatelly, for the safeness of Israel . Her arrogance is far bigger of her knowlege of the facts. WHAT A SHAME TO HAVE A MINISTRY OF EDUCATION LIKE HER.
12. Tamir the Bolshevik
Thomas ,   Hungary   (01.01.07)
The rise of Germany and Japan from the ashes of WWII. could not have been achieved without the de-Nazification process within the respective societies.. The total and irreversible brake with the pernicious genocidal ideology of 19. Century Totalitarian Socialism offered the only way to survival. If you have read Ynet previous, astute article titled "Stalin's Jews" you should know that the de-Bolshevization of the Jewish society never happened. It's is truism that the revolution eventually devours its own children: Robespierre head rolled off just as Trocky's, R. Luxemburg's, J. Rosenberg's at due times. If the Jewish people at large are unable or unwilling to sever their umbilical cord to Marxism-Leninism, if they refuse to purge their ranks from Chomsky, Beilin, Tamir, Peretz etc. etc. then the future is hopeless: Marx the Jew invented the international Left and the Left will destroy its creators. It happened in the past and present and will happen in the near future.
13. Funny !..country with no borders !!
Ali ,   Gaza   (01.01.07)
What kind of country this is ?? No clear geography .. No clear History ..no clear citizenship ??..
14. To #6 go to the other side of the line in accordance with...
Adam ,   Hebron, Israel   (01.01.07)
the principle of expelling all Jews from the West Bank, you should be going over the line you wish to draw, bitch! Actually your maps should be showing Jordan too shouldn't they?
15. Its important the Kids in school Know the ORIGINS of Israel
YB   (01.01.07)
The origins is G-d and his TORAH, AVrahom Yitzchok & Yaakov. Thats our history, it did NOT start 1948 or 1895, it goes back 4000 years If you think GREEN LINE is important for the students to know, DONT YOU THINK THEY NEED TO KNOW ---"WHY" They are there in the first place? If we know WHY & WHEN we got it, we can look into the borders as well.
16. #13 Its more FUNNY - GAZA - A BORDER WITHOUT A COUNTRY
YB   (01.01.07)
17. tamir

19. # 8
Andras Bereny ,   Kfar Tapuah, Shomron   (01.01.07)
Not to mention the fact Josef, that "Mohamed"'s view from "Haifa, Palestine" clearly illustrates why the Arab minority in Israel should find itself on the receiving end of a serious government action against it, not in as much as Arabs, but as a hostile, unaccomodating minority, unknown in other countries. They are a declared, vicious and mortal enemy of the Jews and of the Jewish state and therefore it clearly is wrong to protect their "rights". One does not protect one's enemies.
20. Ignorance is Strength
John ,   USA   (01.01.07)
War is Peace Freedom is Slavery The Green Line is Dead.
21. Because of this, we'll only show Maps as Palestine in school
Kamal ,   Nazareth Palestine   (01.01.07)
NO green line for us either
22. Israel is finally promoting a one state solution for all
Ayman ,   Jaffa Palestine   (01.01.07)
ONe state for Jews muslims and christians , with no racism against other religions. everyone can be president and democracy and freedom for all
23. What's the problem? Green line = not an international border
Suzanne   (01.02.07)
and up for discussion and negotiation. The green line = a treaty in order to establish some peace (well, it was meant to).
24. @22, only possible if it would be a secular state
Suzanne   (01.02.07)
and which name it would carry?
25. Knesset Education Committee
Michael ,   Haifa   (01.02.07)
Just a question of tine before they issue a ruling that the world is flat
26. 23 The green line is irrelevant, it is
freedom ,   canada   (01.02.07)
nothing more that a stopping point in a war that did not end. There is no negotiated settlement. Hamas and many palestinians by virture of their vote, dont want Israel to exist. Thus, the war obviously has not ended, and the green line is a worthless concept.
