to "cease negotiations"..... who's he kidding? we all know here that the plais are just vying for time... until the m.e explodes.... and in thier mind , israel ,god forbid, is scuumed to its knees and capitulates... once again abbass and his gangsters are betting on the wrong outcome....

I saw many US clowns in my country but I never saw a clown of direct enemy You are clown of Israel. Your real profession is treason

Many of us are not as familiar with the history of Israel as you seem to be. I am so glad you can shed light on the subject from a historic perspective. Thank you. Gila

some people think that jews come from israel, this is not true, jews come from iraq. abraham was born in ore, iraq. i dare one jew to say otherwise. long live judaism

(waiting on Israel.)

in some kind of utopian world. "We, as a country, cannot tolerate this. If they insist on violence- or even disruptions of our lives, we (the IDF) need to make their lives totally intolerable; 100 eyes for an eye or more. " No country can tolerate violence. No nation can tolerate oppression, occupation, abuse and terror, either. The Palestinians will cease to become an Israeli threat when Israel realizes that the occupation must cease as well. "Either the Arabs live here in OUR land in peace, or they don't live here at all." Well, it is not your land. The land belongs to both Israelis and Palestinians, in conjunction with international law. You are only convincing yourself that this is your land without failing to provide the legalities of doing so.

"what has resistance given them for so many decades?" Well, I will tell you, since you seem to be so somnilently confused by it. If it were not for resistance, the lives of the Palestinians would have mirrored that of the Native Americans back during the period of American "Manifest Destiny." The Palestinians arent interested in that kind of future. To resist is to exist, and this is precisely what the Palestinians have proven.

Why don't Israel be like America? No discrimination based on race, religion, creed, national origin and sex. Everyone is entitled to one vote, and can run for any public offices. Everyone is entitled to equal protection under the law.

There is no way out only if the Zionists are forced to admit that indigenous people of Palestine are humanbeings.

So viewed from Southern Africa bulding a house and blowing up hundreds of people are morally equivalent, yes? I'd heard you were a weird bunch down there, but I didn't imagine how weird..

"While Israel accepted the offer, the Palestinians did not and five Arab armies attacked the fledgling State of Israel one day after the declaration of statehood by Israel. " Well, why the surprise? The Palestinians comprised the vast majority of the population pre-1948. Of course the Arabs would reject such an unfair peace plan. Nevermind the fact that in 1919, the Palestine National Council sent a delegation to Europe asking for a Palestinian state. "Eventually, the territory will be annexed, and the Palestinian Arabs will have to leave." Yes, and in Islam, the pig is considered a halal animal for consumption. "The logical place for them to go is Jordan, which is over seventy-five percent Palestinian already." No. The logical place is for the vast majority of Israelis, who are of European, North and Latin American descent to go back where they came from. Israel's majority population is comprised of immigrants who came to settle in Palestine once the Jews were granted a state in 1948. But, of course, that wont happen as with the Palestinian people. "Having won all the wars, Israel gets to set the terms and conditions. " Wow. I dont know whether to laugh or cry at such a statement. Israel, as are other United Nations members are legally obligated to observe the fundamental principles of international law. What a horrific statement, I must say. It's just like saying that the undefeated team in a basketball game gets to change the way the game is played, gets to create new rules and gets to do things their way during a contest between different opponents. Ive read some pretty laughable statements, but this one has got to be the most foolish and laughable of any Israel sympathizer. Great job. "And I'm betting you haven't gone to war against your relatives six times, have you?" I would not go to war with anyone unless my rights are being violated, unless I am terrorized in my homeland, unless my land is occupied, unless my people are used as human shields, unless I am denied access to school and a hospital by an oppressive military, and I can go on forever. Palestinians are humans, too. REPSECT.

"Can you Imagine, Natanyahu saying on BBC TV that all settlers should ressist any arabs, and they should rise against their Palastinian neighbors, like Hamas does to Israel !!... There would immediately, be acry from all world leaders, and Mr. UN Moon, would call an emergency security council session, all EU leaders, would treathen to recall their ambassodors, and there woudn't be the of it !!!! " You seem to be so somnilently surprised by that. Recall that Israel is a nation state, unlike Hamas, Hezbollah, etc, who are non-state actors. Nation-state laws dont apply to non-state actors. States are supposed to be civilized and are supposed to hold higher standards than a non-state actor, especially if the latter is identifed by few critical powers as "terrorist organizations." Unless you want to be identified as a terror state, I suggest you tell your country to civilize itself for the sake of humanity. "But when this excuse for a peace !!! partner says it, nobody dares to ask " and with this man you want me to make peace" ?? " I find Abbas to be a loser of the highest degree imaginable, but he is sick and tired of Israel stalling the peace process. That is why he has transformed into a different man.

Abba is right to finally demand a HALT to Israel's abhorrent practice of "negotiating" with one hand, while building settlements with the other. Its like 2 neighbors negotiating over a piece of land sitting between their homes while one of them is busy building a garage and a swimming pool for himself on it. That is not fair and no one would accept it. So why should Abbas and the Palestinians? I applaud Abbas for finally taking a stand.

on purpose or not the PA has done very well , for 9 months noor i read all the news ynet, haaretz, jpost sometimes reading the american news, didn't you note anything ?? there is a hint (israel relations with us,russa,un,turkish,j street , goldstone,and yesterday china,human rights organizations and so on ) look at the big picture noor today israel become for real a rogue state with garbled image noor i realy admire abbas and fyyad they doing somthing and know how to do it and what we need to do now is getting evey pic ,case from archive cooperate with all the organizations and just published it and abbas resignation will be the perfect step to complete that noor, if i get my state today that won't give me the revenge i hoped so i prefer this way

Just by scanning breafly thru all the posts here alone, It becomes even more obvious, that your persistent and deliberate ignorance to history, combined with the number of your angry dumb replies is a full time, well paid job of a terrorist mouth peace....

"Resistance", translated into Arabic means the murder of an infant being held at his mother's arms; the extincting of the life of a child on a city bus going to school; of a mother and her two daughters at their sleep at a collective farming community (kibbutz). And this Arab woman keeps referring to these acts with pride; indeed with intoxication. I am afraid she is not an exception...!! P.S. Contrast this attitude with the Jewish sanctification of life...

...Arab world stands behind them; indeed, all major acts taken by the local leadership are coordinated with the rest of the Muslim-Arab world. I highlight this point by way of illustrating: The conflict is really and Arab Israeli conflict and not an Israeli Palestinian one. The local conflict is only a component of the larger more substantial one. Note, it was a coalition of five Arab armies that initiated an extermination war against Israel in 194 and which turned to be Israel's War of Independence. It was a coalition of three Arab countries that initiated the Six-Day War of June 1967. And it was a coalition of two Arab states that initiated the Yom Kippur War of 1973. These days the coalition encompasses the non-Arab Iran in collaboration with Syria, Hizballah, Islamic Jihad and Hamas that is threatening Israel. The Arab League and its member states, of course, is behind all of these attempts to bring about the final solution to the "Jewish problem" in the region: the total annihilation of the nation-state of the Jewish people and with it all aspects of Jewish civilization of which Israel is its cradle and sustainer.

Israel, the Jewish State, with more democracy, education, patents, books, start-ups, medical research, egalitarianism than any other nation per capita. Hamasistan, the Islamic Fundamentalist Thoecratic Terrorist State, loving death more than we love life, Palestine, the Hopeful State, once they give up their manufactured longing and nostalgia for a country they never had.

"You people." We will gladly share the place with our Arab cousins if they promise to stop pledging to kill us. We have so much to give: thriving intellectual inquiry, research, democracy, egalitarianism, free press, economic vigor. Just give up your claim to our very existence, Semite Cousins.
