1. Ga Daffy, where's your make-up?
Zohan ,   Tel Aviv   (01.22.09)
I seriously think you are living in LaLa Land. You talk as if you have been living in a cave for the last century.
2. Until you can take care of your own country....
Paul ,   US   (01.22.09)
Keep your ugly face out of world affairs.
3. This is journalism?
Vered ,   TA   (01.22.09)
4. Oh the glorious life of a rich, drugged out bedouin
Dudi ,   Jerusalem   (01.22.09)
I wish i was Gaddafi - I could sit around already, get high on God knows what, and then call world leaders and tell them about my ridiculous, somewhat offensive plans. Isratine? Sounds like a children's drink.
5. To Vered and others
MARK ,   ISRAEL   (01.22.09)
i read this article and thought it's good to start the day with a laugh i don't think anybody takes what he says seriously.
6. LOL.... thank you Gaddafi
MK ,   USA   (01.22.09)
When Gaddafi speaks, it all comes out as hilarious joke. He always makes me laugh out loud with his in-depth political analysis. In 2000, he suggested that both G. W. Bush and Al Gore should preside over the US, and now he wants an Israstine. No wonder Sadat used to call him "The crazy of Libya"
7. KADAFi
aaron ,   USA   (01.22.09)
Yes he wants israel to look like his friends in Darfur (Sudan). I actually think that the Arabs should unit and make one country. They definately deserve each other.
8. I agree with the Isratine solution!
Mohammed ,   Jeddah   (01.22.09)
Unfortunately it will never be accepted by either side especially the jews, though this is really the only solution. If you incorporated all the Arabs who currently live in the Palestinian territories, jews would still be the majority and would have control over the holy sights while allowing Muslims and christians full access. And the Hamasis can simply get locked up till they renounce violence while the majority peaceful Arabs can start living like the rest of us do. OR you can continue hoping that the Palestinians will move to Jordan one day, but apparently that will never happen-lets be realistic. But the Qaddafi guy is quite out there for sure :-) take everything else he says with a grain of salt!
9. Two states is money, time and enery wasting
zeev ,   switzerland   (01.22.09)
I absolutely sustain the positon of Gaddaf about the creation of one state. You cannot deny the right f the Palestinians to return home, and you cannot divide a country which cannot be divided... by a shameful wall. Create one state with equal rights for all, regardless of their religion or sex. This is the only way to put an end to religious fanaticism in both sides.
10. Even the Arab leader think he is an imbecile
Ilan ,   Ariel   (01.22.09)
Given that he doesn't meet even the fairly low standards by which Arab leaders are usually judged he should probably just stick to stand-up.
11. ONE state is the solution.
USA   (01.22.09)
EQUAL rights for all.
12. Great idea - his drugs work well!
David ,   Shilo Israel   (01.22.09)
One state is a great idea, now why didn't anyone else think of that? Only let's keep the name Israel.
13.  BUT,"PRES. MESHUGAH WE CAN"T FIND HIM ?
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (01.22.09)
14. How about PaLibya ? Plenty of space and you love them so
rh ,   Modiin Israel   (01.22.09)
Libya is big and sparcley populated The Palestinians could work as Doctors and I am sure you have an excellent frequent hijacker program.
15. muamar khaddafi
elliot ,   usa   (01.22.09)
or whatever--why call him a leader--he is dictator like castro and other darlings of the left
16. whats wrong with one state?
america   (01.22.09)
you jews dont want to live with brown people?
17. #9, what are you talking about?
Josh B ,   Rehovot, Israel   (01.22.09)
Who mentioned gender? And yes, we can deny the right of the "Palestinians" who don't extist, to return "home." Or do you truly believe that you or anyone else is going to displace me and my family by dumping millions of Arabs into my community? Good luck. Bring guns. You'll need them.
18. to much drugs cause this....
Antwan Saca ,   Bethlehem   (01.22.09)
This is the kind of bad effect, and damage someone can get from the over use of much drugs …Gadadfi is just a dreamer
19. Why not Palibya? Libestine? Or Liborocco? Or Tunibya?
Scott ,   USA   (01.22.09)
20. Good idea: One State- One People. Arabs - out..
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (01.22.09)
21. All the arabs 'advising' Obama
(01.22.09)
OH. MY. GOD!!! It's so funny! They are advising him now. They are the biggest misfits and terror loving savages. And they are advising him. That's really funny.
22. After 60 years Israel's right to exist is still in question?
Rose ,   Netherlands   (01.22.09)
Gaddafi's remarks would be totally ridiculous if he did not have one point: Israel is the only state in the world whose very existence is still in question after 3 or 4 generations, even though the UN ratified its existence. Not even Zimbabwe, Pakistan, or Jordan share this fate; but only the Jewish state is the pariah state of the world that can be dismantled if the Western powers feel like doing so. A couple of years ago on the Dutch television the former leader of D66 - an influential political party - even said that "it was a mistake to allow Israel to be independent". Israeli hasbara should make the taboo of mentioning the dismantling of a lawful state much more forcefully.
23. Yeai... just like your pals Failed arab badland states...
william ,   USA   (01.22.09)
Lebanon... 18 different religious sects living in separate enclaves and hating and brutalizing each other where Jewish a few hundred remaininig jews live underground... Iraq... where Christians are being slaughtered causing two over two thirds of a 1.6 million to flee, and where various religious groups are slaughtering each other. Egypt... Where Christian Copts live in a state of siege and are constantly being murdered by radical islamists and where most are not allowed to hold govt jobs. Jordan... Where Jordanians and original bedouin inhabitants keep palestinians under check since the 1970 attempt by Arafat to overthrow the monarchy and Israel coming to the rescue... Sudan... Where its muslim govt have been slaughtering christians in a bloody civil war for decades... Syria... Where Christians keep a low profile and where sunnis are brutalized by the Assad minority religious sect... Etc...etc...etc... And this idiot, clown, retard, despot and a "clone" of Idi Amin, Castro and Chavez is spewing stupidity as he has done for decades who has brutalized his fellow citizens and commited various terror acts causing hundreds of civilian deaths across the world...
24. brain surgery
Sandy   (01.22.09)
this is the result of a Libyotomy ...what a dickhead
25. Another madman
Sammy ,   Tel Aviv   (01.22.09)
26. equal rights for all?
Sandy   (01.22.09)
#11 - "equal rights for all" ...yeah right. You go first ...USA all together with Russia and South America, all equal, all one vote ...what's that? ...not in YOUR backyard? ...then keep peurile version of morality to yourself.
27. The last paragraph says it all
Zion   (01.22.09)
Once Jews are living in "Isratine", if they don't accept Islamic laws they'll end up drowned on the coasts of Hawaii.... There's already a state with Muslims and Jews, its called Israel, now integrate peaceful Muslim civilians from Judea and Samaria into Israel and exile the terrorists.
28. he kinda looks like yosi bublil.
(01.22.09)
29. Israelis do not agree.
Jo   (01.22.09)
The Palestinians need their own state so that they can blame themselves (and not the Jews) for any mess they make. Look at what happened in Gaza, radical Islam took force and Hamas muslims murdered fellow muslims in a takevover. The in fighting amongst them, the tribalism, kills prosperity. Not to mention the clerical calls we here from mosques about the Jews and the curse they bring. (quite a few of us know Arabic)
30. One state is the only solution:Name of the state PALESTINE
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (01.22.09)
Palestinians derive their name from the place, they are just arabs Therefore Palestine must and may be name for the joinst state. Jarusalem should be under control of 3(or 4) religions Kuran accepts as God's religions
