Mr. Oppenheimer KNOWS and HOPES that we can and should live in peace

When he will meet with the secretary-general of the Palestinian Peace-Now movement there may be room to take some measure of his words. Until then he remains in his house of mirrors.

"It would be better for us to see reality for what it is and exhaust any possibility of reaching an agreement now, with a pragmatic and moderate leadership, before it is replaced by zealous religious leadership that views violent Jihad as the main means in the struggle against Israel." Earth to Oppenheimer- Fatah has already been replaced by "zealous religious leadership that views violent Jihad as the main means in the struggle against Israel." The only thing that keeps Abbas and his thugs in power is US and Israeli support for their brutal regime. There are no moderate Palestinians with any real political power and the 2-state solution is a political miscarriage. Wake up and smell the coffee already...

I never cease to be amazed with the ideology of certain "leftists" who try to understand or even worse defend the position of our hateful arab neighbors. Mr. Oppenheimer you are a disgrace to jews and Israelis everywhere. To call the fatah congress anything but a sham is lunacy. Funny how you failed to mention that one of the resounding proclamations out of this congress was the arabs universal blame on Israel for arafat's death! is this your indication of peace? Mr. Oppenheimer, why is it that arabs will not recognize Israel as a Jewish state but they themseleves are allowed to rule their own countries with the subversive hand of islam? Why is it that jews are barred from owning property in muslim countries and now we recieve criticism for trying to build in our own city? Self-loathing jews like you are a cancer worse then the arabs who support you. I pray that one day you wake up from your dillusions and realize that there is no peace with those who fundamentally oppose your very existence.

someone from being a complete idiot.

I did not hear anything out of this shmucks mouth for a long time he's a losser and i dont know why he does'nt just go and join fayah if he thinks their so great yair we dont need nor want you so just get lost already

in fact he and his likes never will.... their absolute desire to bel iked and accepted by our enemies is mind -buggling and stomach turning. go and live iwth your sworn enemies... no one will miss you here!

they all got settled, a few remaining Jews settled in what is now Israel, the Arabs who were displaced in a war to kill these same Jews, were on purpose to this day never resettled, never granted citizenship, and their condition was purposely never resolved to keep them in a perpetual state of war which they have again and again lost. That is not a Jewish problem. The next war against Israel if gaza is any model will a tragic one for west bank arabs because it will be fought by Israel as an existential war.

You must be the bigest idiot that I have ever seen, this article shows how low you can go a leftist can go......Enough Said

This is another of those blind and foolish far left articles that are based on wishful thinking and have nothing to do with reality. Always blame Israel, never blame the Palestinians. It has got so boring now. No wonder no-one bothers to vote for Peace Now when it chooses to indulge in a one sided quest for peace with a people who have shown time and again that they do not want peace with Israel.

Based on his analysis more likely Dreamers forever or Fantasy Island's new director

Mr. Oppenheimer has a nice salary funded by the EU, and is their paid lackey to demonize Israel on the world stage. The "non-violent" Fatah have butchered more Israelis and Jews worldwide than all other terror groups. Abbas is a Shoah denier, the money-man behind the Munich Massacre, and still screams "Jihad" in Arabic while muttering "peace" in English. Oppenheimer's paid apologies for terror are nauseating and so full of lies that it would take more space than a talk-back to unravel them all. Let Ynet publish his group's funding sources, and what kind of salary he gets from the enemies of Israel to spew his garbage, and spare us the disgust of seeing his anti-Israel lies here in what is supposed to be a factual Jewish news source.

the secretary-general of Peace Now who critiques the "Wall" which has increased Israeli citizens security manyfold while Yaariv dwells safely in London telling the world how unjust is the country in which he grew up.

Not the same planet where Fatah declared "armed resistance" and vowed to conquer all of Jerusalem and expel and/or kill the entire Jewish population.

The Fakestinians are part of a much larger problem in the Arb world and face the exact same predicament as their inseparable brothers elsewhere in the region do. Despite hundreds of billions of dollars in income from oil and massive amounts of Western humanitarian aid, the Arbs have yet to create one single monument to human achievement. Rather, at different times, the Arbs have pointed the finger of blame at colonialists, multinationals, missionaries, communists, liberals, religious and/or ethnic minorities, middle classes and even Orientalists. But the blame rests only in themselves. The Arb League has never once convened an Arb summit to discuss the backward state of education in the Arb world and therein lies the problem. The sad truth is that the fantasies portrayed in Arbian Nights have long since become an Arbian nightmare in large measure because the Arb world has no real consensual governments; statism and tribalism hamper market economics and ensure stagnation. Sexual apartheid, Islamic fundamentalism, the absence of an independent judiciary, and a censored press all do their part to ensure endemic poverty, rampant corruption and rising resentment among an exploding population. Siesta for millions is a time not for napping between office hours, but for weaving conspiracy theories over backgammon...so, by any standard that matters in the modern world - economic development, job creation, literacy, education, scientific achievement, political freedom and respect for human rights - the Arb society has indeed fallen, and there is no mistaking the growing anguish, the mounting urgency, and seething anger that has resulted. For the Arb world, the status quo is no longer sustainable and time is not on its side. The Salafi jihadists are gaining strength in Egypt, Syria, Iran, Turkey Jordan, Lebanon, Sudan, Iraq, F. Arbia, Yemen, Algeria and in the Fakestininan territories, and warn that an apocalyptic Armageddon between the Muslim world and the West is approaching. Whether moderate Muslim intellectuals and Western-educated Muslim technocrats will be able to bring on an Islamic Renaissance before rising radical Islam draws them all into an unwinnable nuclear confrontation remains to be seen. Their success in doing so is by no means assured.

and each time he has egg on his face Only he can see in a declaration of "nothing less than 100% of Israel" an unprecedented sign of Fakestinians commitment to peace he must be checked into an asylum and soon!

Since he loves us so much and is so anti-Zionistic, why doesn't Oppenheimer leave Israel and live amongst us, and stop playing at being either an Israeli or a Jew?

to quarrel with... or oponents, lol Heberew is very old language you need to find out the meaning in the native Hebrew language not your native language much like you don't transland the words Kangaroo in arabic. duh.

Some Arabs like to listen to Neturai Karta because they would offer so many concessions. Likewise, Oppenheimer translates the positive reception he gets from some Arabs for the concessions he would offer into their acceptance of Israel. The Palestinian leadership reiterates its demands unacceptable to most Israelis. On these Oppenhemer chooses to stick his fingers in his ears.

you try to convert them, oh I thought you respect other religions my bad.

apart from your smartass "straw man" arguments about the world zionist congress, the fact is that fatah vowed to never recognize israel, and to never give up the armed struggle to destroy israel. it's hard to imagine a more complete and utter rejection of your values. if that's your understanding of what the "peace" in "peace now" really means, then i can guarantee that the "now" part really means "never".

I could not read more then 3 lines without getting nauseous. More then that is not needed to know how this little munchking's twisted mind works.Behind this facade, there is just plain old corruption financed by Europe. Look he gets the money, the media attention and only at the expense of the Jewish people. so for someone lacking any soul, that is a great deal. TB 17 by Achmed B of Ramallah sums it all up. Oppenheimer is no member of our people anymore, he is excommunicated and his soul cut of.

Must be some magic weed. He's beginning to see things and hear things that just aren't there. Time for a real reality check Yariv. Why don't you try regular cigarettes?

Only to be expected that you would suffer the usual violent abuse from the sort of people that you would expect such vitriol. We could have done a deal with king Hussein as long ago as 1974. Instead we preferred land instead of peace. So instead we got Fatah and now we will get Hamas. WE are the ones who never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity ! More abuse on the way ffrom our kippered friends...........

REALITY is that even if the PLO joins the Zionist Organization, there is also Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria, Iran, Saudia, etc. who'd like to see us wiped off the map anyway. Don't try to blind us with your pathetic appeasement and defeatist attitude! Terror and the desire to destroy Israel and the Jews are here regardless of this or that Fatah conference. When you'll get this into your thick and empty skull, you'll realize that unless we are ready to FIGHT and DIE for our ancestral lands and values, Islam will take over and transformm your little Leftist Utopia which is allowed in our democracy, into a blooshedding, tyrannical Taliban hell. Would you like to live in such a society? I know that I will fight with anything and everything I've got to stop that! If you are not prepared to fight as well, just step aside and let real MEN do the job. We'll call you out from behind the rock you'll be hiding when it's all over. And pray that we win!

Yariv has a job. He gets paid a lot of money for his job (most of it from the EU) - and he is just doing his job as best he can. In these times of enconomic pressures, we must make allowance for people trying to get ahead, and providing for their families.....

That is why Fatah elected Oppenheimer's close personal friend Barghouti, to their central commitee. Who better to lead then the man responsible for the murder of 26 people and a total of 35 terrorist attacks on civilians, including the Sea Food Market attack in the center of occupied Tel Aviv.

You should then abide by UN resolutions, first and foremost 181 and 194. You will find the borders of a Jewish state defined by 181, anything outside that is not Jewish and definitley not Israel. Greed and arrogance will lead you to oblivion.

...If Arabs whould have recognized Israel in '48 and ALL the UN relevant resolutions and subsequent agreements with Israel, then all would have been allright, but in their GREED and ARROGANCE they decided that it is better to DESTROY Israel and commit GENOCIDE against the Jews - encouraged by the NAZI mufti of Jerusalem and of course, by Syria, Jordan and Egypt who invaded the REBORN State of Israel. So yes, since then, all those who were guided not only by GREED and ARROGANCE but also by HATRED, RACISM and CRUELTY live in on-going OBLIVION. GREED and ARROGANCE led the palestinians and the rest of the Muslim world to IGNORE and BREAK any agreement which were signed with Israel, despite the PROOF that Israel means and wants peace: the peace with Jordan and Egypt are undeniable proof! In their GREED and ARROGANCE, palestinians broke each and every agreement with Israel and Hezbollah broke each and every UN resolution on Earth and so on. The only solution is to RECOGNIZE ISRAEL AS A JEWISH STATE WITH JERUSALEM AS ITS ETERNAL CAPITAL (AS IT'S ALWAYS BEEN) WITHIN THE BORDERS OF '67. NOTHING LESS WILL DO! We will NOT be playing by the rules for as long as our enemies don't. So before preaching to us about respecting agreements and UN resolution, you better make sure that Israel's sworn and mortal enemies do so themselves!

Oppenheimer still survives to write stupidities
