31. Bibi now is a disgrace of history
BJL ,   US   (11.25.09)
And will be remembered as a traitor to his people. This is a disgrace and a chilul Hashem, a desecration of G-ds name. Bibi! WTH! Your brother Yonatan cries from his grave! Bibi gave away Hevron and now gives legitimacy to the arab claim of no legitimacy in Eretz Israel. Once a proud Jew, now Bibi is a reduced to a spineless copy of Olmert.
32. #27 Get your facts straight.
Addle ,   Toronto   (11.25.09)
Netanyahu is not a phony for doing something Israel should of done a long time ago: stopping illegal Jewish encroachment of Palestinian land. Why are you bashing Sharon? He's cool! His actions in 2005 gave Israel respect on the international stage. Blowing schools up and murdering children in the marketplaces doesn't earn you respect. You're just mad because your government is looking past the radical right wing ways but instead the ways for peace. If I were you Kach, I'd sell my settlement and invest in a house in Tel Aviv. Better to start now before the IDF forces you out in the future.
33. To #27 & especially #32
Rickey ,   NY, NY   (11.25.09)
See #26... Addle, Sharon did a "great" job. He threw Jews out of Gaza and Hamas set up shop and rocketed Isreal. Great job! Let's give up more land! Lastly, I don't need the worlds respect. I need to survive. The world would love a "dead" Israel. Sephardic Jews know the scoop. Wake up!!!!!
34. #32 Addle
KACH 613 ,   Juda, Israel   (11.25.09)
Hay Addle!! You want to talk about facts Addle?? All of Israel now knows what a mistake the disengagement was Addle FACT, we got thousands of rockets on our heads, is that choragus Addle?? Ill tell you some facts Judah and Samaria was Jewish thousands of years before Islam was thought of FACT, don’t talk your anti Semitic crap from Toronto and tell the Jewish people what to do in their land Addle!!
35. the Holy Land belong to the Shia only
tea man ,   marjayoun   (11.25.09)
Allah said to abraham this land is your land Ismael has his birth right inhertence Isaac and Jacob and Yousef where shia too as we all have seen in the tv series Josef alsiddiq played in the holy month of ramadan bibi and abbas are irrilvant fanatic jew and palestinian must succumb to the fact that its shia land and live with it or without it period
36. :: Bibi said...
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (11.25.09)
"I have promised to allow our 300,000 brothers residing (illegally) in the West Bank to continue to lead normal lives (attacking Palestinian civilians and destroying their farmland), and therefore (illegal) construction that is already underway will not be halted (even though the United States, the World and it’s mother does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements). We will continue to (illegally) build synagogues, schools and kindergartens (purely for Jews in the Palestinian WB)."
37. #35 Do u mean me? My name is Shia Goldburg
Shia Goldburg ,   Binay Brak   (11.26.09)
38. settlement
no   (11.26.09)
When will you get into head ! Do not relinquish one iota of Israel. The Arabs do not want you there . DO NOT STOP BUILDING IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA OR JERUSALEM
39. no not you its not the name its the faith
tea man ,   marjayoun   (11.26.09)
are from the faith or faithless well if u r you get a piece but not from grabbed ones rather from the cleansed ones
40. Israeli settlers be freeze for ever and ever!
Offended   (11.26.09)
that would be acceptable.
41. #33 On the issue of Hamas.
Addle ,   Toronto   (11.26.09)
You see, Hamas rising to power has more to do with Israel's policies of the past then the actual pull out. Had it not been for Israel's policy of Palestinian oppression during the occupation of Gaza, the Palestinians wouldn't have turned to such militant group. Fatah was weak, corrupt, and at best, a puppet that was easily controlled by Israel. Hamas took the opportunity to see through such weakness and took it upon themselves to free the Palestinians whether it be by building schools/hospitals or resisting violent IDF soldiers/settlers. That's not to say Hamas is any better but you must see it through the eyes of a Palestinian. As the saying goes "two sides to a story". The world would love a "dead" Israel when Israel continues to act in such a rouge and backwards manner.
42. abbas is right
Palestinian ,   jerusalem   (11.26.09)
to reject the offer which does not include jerusalem .. play time is over .. Glad the guy speaks without an accent so people in DC understand him . let the UN take over and the US veto it ...at least let the world know
43. I AGREE...THE NEXT STEPS...
Adam Neira ,   Melbourne, Australia   (11.26.09)
I agree with Bibi that this step is necessary. What happens now and how to proceed with all of the various groups clamouring for attention like noisy kids in a schoolyard is the interesting bit, I am quite happy to get a "normal" life here in Melbourne Town, but I quite enjoy problem solving on a higher level, We will see what G-d has planned for me, the Holy Land and world politics over the coming hours, days and weeks. I really do think an objective, truly independent negotiator is required. Someone who will be aware of all of the issues and groups involved. The various stakeholders in World Peace 2050 are numerous. The State of Israel and the Jewish people as a whole can choose to be shareholders in World Peace 2050, or they can impede its evolution and growth. All good corporations need a top CEO however... The Holy Land is performing at about 15% of its true potential.
44. #4 Sami from Alabami
jb   (11.26.09)
Non-negotiable is right!! Take a hike fool! Jerusalem was never Palestinian and NEVER WILL BE! Try Amman
45. To Addle #41
Rickey   (11.26.09)
Palestininian oppresion? The Palestinians would not have turned to such a militant group? Tell me, Addle, who was oppressing the poor Palestinians in 1929 when there was no Israel and 67 Jews were masacred in Hebron?
46. Why bother?
david   (11.26.09)
The Palestinians always get what they deserve. They don't like the freeze, well, it's their problem. We should continue building. They only know how to destroy.
47. Settlements is not to be use in this case.
AlbertoGA ,   St. George, USA   (11.26.09)
Israelis are not building settlements in this case. Just as the Americans have build all over the US land. No more nonsense, continue this is your land not the Arab land. Read the Bible...no UN peace of papers or directives of Obama. Palestine is a British invention.
48. PALESTINE IS JORDAN
Norm ,   Detroit USA   (11.26.09)
PALESTINE IS JORDAN AND JORDAN IS PALESTINE.
49. ever notice how one sided the concessions are?
Galut ,   selah   (11.26.09)
it always has to be thousand to one prisoner exchanges .... 100% stopage of building ..... seems to indicate final goal 100% of israel .... just a typical Hudna Ploy
50. Yo, bro (23)
David ,   Rhode Island   (11.26.09)
The Canaanites were Caucasian, not Semites. There were no Arabs in Palestine until the Muslim invasions of the 7th century. I do agree with one thing you said, though: "The God of Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael will deliver justice at a due time." Lebanon should return to it's Christian heritage.
51. Noor, give back to who?
David ,   New England   (11.26.09)
Did Gaza belong to Egypt? No. Did the west bank belong to Jordan? No. How about the Ottoman Empire?
52. Will Israel follow the Roadmap or delay with small steps
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (11.26.09)
Israel needs a peace deal but that deal needs to be with Arabs/Muslim world as much as the PA. Israel could and have crushed the PA but the Muslim world is starting to come into the modern world albeit slowly and will become a major threat in about 10yrs. If Israel takes over all or most the W. Bank does it win or lose? Is a short term win worth the possible destruction of Israel in 20yrs?
53. #30
Brian ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (11.26.09)
Gaza and Lebanon took monumental beatings, that's why they have been rearming and propagandizing and all, but scared to death to act up, because they learned harsh, harsh lessons. They don't want to take it up a notch. By the way Noor, where do you live?
54. #18 Ariel ben Yochanan welcome to Palestine
Avi ,   Israel   (11.26.09)
Soon you will be part of Palestine, with East Jerusalem as the capital. So get used to it buddy.
55. 41
bob ,   ny   (11.26.09)
im so happy to see people like you on this site, usually when i read the comments they are all the same right wing baloney... finally some 1 that makes some sense!
56. yeh yeh yeh.... again
ma od chadash?   (11.26.09)
and again, they say jump we say how high. Ma od chadash?
57. Jerusalem
Adel ,   Jerusalem ,palestine   (11.26.09)
Israel likes the world attention ,they always like to have people Talking about them . complex people with a lot of psych issues ...and paranoia. by keeping Jerusalem on the burner ,and pissing off 1/2 of the plannet they keep getting to the headlines . Hate toward them is growing like a fire and it will burns them soon . without Jerusalem ,who the hell wants to talk about a 7 mile wide country ... it is,Jerusalem , the ticking bomb that is going to blow in your face .and blow your zionist project upside down . sorry MR Natanyaho ..your offer is a no starter ,go play somewhere else .
58. #45
fawez ,   der yasin   (11.26.09)
i think for the last several decades ,we apologized enough about 1929 hebron;;incident that disturbed the ever lasting harmony between the 2 people .. the 9 jewish people killed in Hebron . you won't find another example by the way prior to 1948 ,don't bother . we are still waiting for the apology for displacing 600,000 palestinians out of their homes in 1948. why going 63 years back ...what about the 1400 civilians killed in jan 2009 . . we call people like you shamless .
59. #45
Brian ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (11.26.09)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpIGqBLvdbw How about the incident in yaffo? There were many, and how abot the Jews displaced from every North African and ME country.
60. 57. Jerusalem
psalms 83 ,   selah   (11.26.09)
you are right Jerusalem will become a problem to the world....the prophets of old said it would over 2500 years ago.... ======================== Thus says the LORD 'Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it'” (Zechariah 12:2,3).
