THE REST IS NOT IMPORTANT.

"Israel continues its occupation, which has become the world's longest-lasting occupation," If Israel is a occupation force then so is: USA Canada Every south american country Australia And those have been around for HUNDREDS of years. Oh wait... All the Arab countries were occupation forces too! for 1500 years! Just because you are given a stage and can yell the loudest do sent mean that only you exist sir...

And your point is? Syria, Egypt, Jordan, Iran, etc have air forces as well. None (smartly) are at all anxious to challenge the IAF.

Mr. Maliki, prepare for desperate actions by settler colonists. This is not a conspiracy theory. Just read the TB on israeli papers. Users: "Sarah", "ghost", and countless others, unashamedly call for ethnic cleansing in 2009. They call it "transfer" - euphemism for ethnic cleansing. Dispecable. If something doesn't give in the next months, prepare to arm yourself to the teeth. The Story, sir, is far, far from over. If you can't protect us we will protect ourselves.

bezrat hashem!

The Palestinian vision is for a massive influx of Palestinians into Israel. It's the same goal whether they call it one state or two states.They have no other vision. Jews will fight it until the end. The alternative to a peace that is acceptable to Jews is the status quo. The rest is Palestinian dreaming.

The Land of Israel belongs exclusively to the people of Israel. Israel is the country that we have built. We, the Children of Israel, have returned to our land and have built a prosperous and healthy country in which Torah flourishes alongside advanced farming, life-saving medicine and computers. Are these things in contradiction? Of course not. We are one nation, reuniting on one land, speaking one language. We are Israel. And this land, the Land of Israel, in its entirety is exclusively ours as explained at : http://xrl.us/berwte

The people of Israel and Israel’s countless friends in the United States and abroad will welcome any steps to further the Jewish, peaceful and productive alternative to a terrorist state in Judea and Samaria. Throughout history, whenever and wherever allowed to exist, the quiet, stable, constructive Jewish home has been a successful antidote to extremism and barbarism. We can make it so again – this time in Judea and Samaria, a historically Jewish area whose importance to world peace cannot be overestimated. The Jews have the right to build and live freely in their country. As to the “Palestinian” demography : http://xrl.us/bewfbt

Ethnic cleansing is murder. Sending annoying people home, where they belong is *NOT* murder. It's common sense. Especially when the people you are putting on a bus are the ones that want to ethnically cleanse Israel of all Jews. When a Pal shoots at Jewish civilians, and IDF disarms the attacker, people like Nour and Attila complain the Pal is being oppressed. It's just too stupid for the rest of the world to believe it's true. So how about it Nour? If an armed Pal walks into a TA cafe and starts shooting, do we have the right to disarm him? Do we have the right to jail him? Lets hear it. Attila Kara#(_#$^!))#@*whatever? any comments from you?

Of course Bibi's speech won't satisfy Obama. If it did, Advigor Lieberman will be so disgusted that he may withdraw from Bibi's coalition government. And that break up will bring down his government, and it might also halt the expansion of the Jewish settlements in the West Bank. I believe that Bibi is squeezed "between Obama and Lieberman" now, and he certainly has switched his thinking into the "survival above all" mode. His upcoming speech, therefore, would certainly contain a brew of ruses and abstract concepts that would probably take years to define and negotiate. He just has no other choice but to play for time ! That ruse has worked nicely for Israelis for 16 years - since the 1993 Oslo Accords- and gave them enought time to dot the best Arab land with Jewish settlements. Bibi's speech, therefore, will be about small, incremental, and confidence building negotiating steps with the Palestinians, that will allow him to "survive" as long as possible, and "built as many Jewish settlements" as possible. Will Obama play Bibi's game? Well, we will have to wait and see who has illusions, Obama or Bibi ! Nikos Retsos, retired professor

Israel is Jacob PBUH ...came way before Moses PBUH my friend ..so basically Jacob was not a jew . and neither ibraham or isaac ..for the same reason .. your claim to the land is colonial with a religious twist to fit it in . a gane you played for a while but it is over .. what you are saying is fiction ,a dream ...what MR Almaliki is telling you is Facts ,based on head counts . you have a right wing PM ...guess what ..we do too . behave sir or you will be eaten for lunch . keep a second passport for the emergencies Dave .

election retoric are different when you are it . MR Natanyahu promises on the election trail is one thing and what he sees now is 180 degrees different . liberman views are no different that Hamas views ..unless you are blind and deaf . well ,..MR Obama is realizing that . we are not the american indians afterall ,the world isa different stage now . 2 states solution at 1967 line is our best and final offer . although tha Maliki option and warning is very valid and very popular among us (palestinians ) .

jordanian option --the land is too small for 3 states

in the ME, 20 years is a life long period of time. it is my beleif that within 20 years the""palestinian problem "' will be resolved and settled.. in jordan where they belong. gaza will be annexed by egypt, hamas will be a thing of the past, just like fatah is now-irrelevant. obama and his cronies will be forgoten,and will be mentioned only as a comparison to carter as the 2 presidents who tried to wrack america and israel. oh, and nour, you'll send us post cards from petra........

Years ago Ben Gurion made a speech that dissatisfied a bunch of arab states. and that resulted in the modern miracle of israel. If Bibi's statement satisfies none of the arabs and their mooch lickers like BO that too will result in yet another modern miracle.

Apartheid was the refusal of rights of people based on nationality. Not refusal of people to be given their own (undeserved) nation based on and assumed nationality. Separating terrorists from civilians is in no way similar to the segregation of the Apartheid wall in South Africa. Check your facts.

Mr. Riyad al-Maliki the best alternative to the 2 state solution is for Israel to give the the Arab population and land to their previous countries: Jordan and Egypt. As the Palestinian people are either Ottomans or Jordanian /Egyptians.

There are very few western politicians who would dare propose or back that sort of idea out of risk of political backlash. Even the prophet Obama defender of the islamic world wouldn't dare propose or support it. The palestinians can't just walk into Israel and demand a binational state. They can't go to the UN because and claim its apartheid like with South Africa and say do something because they are not and never were Israeli citizens so they have no right to demand the UN force Israel to accept. Trying to gain citizenship through war won't work If the arab states were stupid enough to start a war to get the palestinians their binational state then we could rehouse the palestinians in the territory that those states have just lost. Demanding a binational state sounds great when your using it as a threat but once you decide to take it beyond the stage of threat it becomes not so easy.

Hamas charter calls for KILLING Jews. I believe its article 7. Lieberman calls for all Israelis to take an oath of loyalty. Are you blind and deaf? Give me a break for such a rediculous comparision. PLease listen to Liberman's speaches and read Hamas charters and what they preach. They are NOTHING alike. Shame on you for not even doing a LITTLE research. MY understanding is the Arab world is taught little about the truth and alot of lies, otherwise it would fall apart. What do you get to see in Syria? Not the truth obviously. You dont have to agree with our opinions, but you at least need to read the facts. Truth is truth whether you like it or not.

Those who have studied the demographics of the area have shown the PA to be full of it when it came to real census numbers. Future demographics look very good for Israel and very bad for the PA. I suggest the Arabs in Judea and Samaria start looking to Amman, your capital for advice, because sooner or later, there will only be 2 states, Israel, and Jordan Palestine, not a third.

I think some of you need to a library and learn a few things. We dont have to agree on opinions, but what you state as facts are so bogus no one with any education could possibly believe it unless they were complete racists and chose to ignore the facts.

by mistake (Damn those Ajami Bersians) in Ramallah, Naplus and Gaza, in addition to Mecca, Rabat, Damascus and Cairo

Two States for Two Peoples... if you want your own state you have to leave israel. You will have your own national identity and we will have ours.

In 20 years Germany, Spain, France, Belgium and GB will be Palestinian. With president Hussein Obama in the White House th U.S. of America already is Palestinian. With Chaves Venezuela is Palestinian. Messico should have back Occupied California and life is beautiful and as much fun as it can be in a burka on the beach under Allah.

what Liberman says behind the Camera is the same as Hamas .. he wants to transfer us to Jordan my friend . 2 states will lead to one called Palestine . done waiting while you're building still in the remaining 30 % of our hystoric palestine . sorry you loose it all. FYI .. if i were you ,i would stay in Boston and cheer for the celtics .and forget about the politics .. great team ,very popular in Syria By the way .

Not if we expel you first. Which we will. Trust me.

You will be neutralized soon. Actually, why don't you just jump off from your Manhattan office window and spare us all your genocidal rhetoric? Or better still check with a shrink, u seriously need one. Indingenous DRUZE have held their ground in the Golan heights and they did'nt leave. You tried naturalizing them and it didnt work, so do u expect Palestine to just vanish? you're dreaming lady. Keep threatening to kill us. Check back with me next year when the settlements are evacuated and israelis start killing each other, and we WILL see that. The popcorn is ready.
