1. stop construction in east jewusalem also
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (11.27.09)
what's good for one side should be good for both.
2. No East Jerusalem, No Peace & No Israel
17   (11.27.09)
3. Did Israel become a state for goyim to tell us what to do?
Bob   (11.27.09)
If the leaders are so pathetic and cowardly and don't have the courage to do what is good for the country, they should be replaced.
4. Bob, the "annexation" of East Jerusalem is illegal...
BBSNews ,   Charlotte, NC   (11.27.09)
..."goyim" have nothing to do with it. It is simply Israel breaking the law and that must stop. The "annexation" of East Jerusalem was long ago declared "null and void" no major Western nation recognizes the illegal move, they cannot, it's null and void under UNSCR 478. Israel signed onto the Road Map, and has ignored it the whole time and illegally transferred yet even more than 100,000 of its citizens into occupied territory since Israel signed onto the Rad Map. That's perfidy pure and simple. Israel never intended on signing the agreement to honor it (Read Israel list of caveats), and it does not intend to comply now. A Chapter Seven resolution with an international force will be needed to dislodge Israel from its violent colonialist ways, and sooner rather than later before Israel starts yet another useless war.
5. Israel ,so easy to push around
Marcel ,   Florida   (11.27.09)
Israel is so concerned about looking good to the world for their phony peace that they will do anything the nations tell them to do. This is Israel's vain Masada complex. They are more concerned about how the evil nations see them than they are about HaShem and His will. When will you stop being lead about by the nose and keep the land God gave you ? Judea and Samaria should have been annexed decades ago and the enemies of Israel driven out at that time. A people with no faith are easy to push around.
6. MAYBE THEY SHOULD THEY REBUILD PITHOM AND RAAMSES?
stude ham   (11.27.09)
never! we must rebuild jerusalem!
7. Israel is Israeli on both sides
Golan ,   Ashdod   (11.27.09)
we have given up our land on the east side of the Jordan for peace why should we now give up our land on the other side or an imaginary green line? Peace? What peace? when we gave up 75% of our land was their peace? Stop being silly. The war did not begin in 1967 nor when Muhammed betrayed and murdered the Jews of Medina.
8. @ # 4
AJ - Raalte   (11.27.09)
Not ONE Israeli citizen has been "transferred" to Judea and Samaria, BS-News! LOL. An "international force" and which army will dislodge Israel from its heartland, do you imagine?
9. Marcel, what you suggest is Ethnic Cleansing...
BBSNews ,   Charlotte, NC   (11.27.09)
...you might remember NEVER AGAIN at this time as you lament history of dispossessed and brutally repressed peoples.
10. Dear BBSNews, Charlotte, NC
Yehudi ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.27.09)
God gave all of the Land of Israel including Jerusalem to the Jewish People. It was Goyim who stole it all from the Jews. That was illegal according to Biblical law. The following is also illegal: * Suicide bombings * Shooting rockets into towns * Drive by shootings * Setting fire to forests * Stabbings * Destroying Holy Sites * Destroying grave sites * Lying, e.g. denying the holocaust * Etc, etc......
11. stude, you're welcome to West Jerusalem...
BBSNews ,   Charlotte, NC   (11.27.09)
...as the "annexation" of East Jerusalem, Palestine's nascent capital, was declared "null and void" many moons ago. Israel simply cannot thumb its nose at international law anymore. The Internet has made it impossible for Israel to keep up with its incessant censorship and the truth got out.,
12. Egypt: Israel must freeze construction in Jerusalem as well
Marco ,   Spain   (11.27.09)
Mr. Mubarak, how about lifting the siege of Gazza by openning the Rafah crossing?
13. #10 That's a lie.
Addle ,   Toronto   (11.27.09)
God obviously gave Israel to me. In fact, he gave me all of the Middle East! /sarcasm Don't use religion as justification for taking land. It's IMPOSSIBLE to prove unless someone can point me to God's real estate business card.

Pepe ,   EU   (11.27.09)
FYI I stopped to read your comments. Too lengthy, predictable and annoying. Have you try to post something on arab press or you specializing on zionist papers only? Probably you barking only in placed that allow you to so. Continue to enjoy jewish press.
16. #2 - Seemed to work out well for 32 years
William ,   Israel   (11.27.09)
A complete Jerusalem, a Sovereign Capital, and a growing prosperous Israel which blocks almost 99% of Arab terrorist attempts. I say it's worked out fine for us so far.
17. #9 - BBS - your defined Jewish nation exactly
William ,   Israel   (11.27.09)
"...remember NEVER AGAIN at this time as you lament history of dispossessed and brutally repressed peoples." And after our brutally repressed people at the hands of Europeans in the Middle Ages and Arabs for the past 1400 years....Jews have declared both their human right to their own destiny, and to their own land. I only wish the Basques, Darfurians, Tibetans, B'hais and Kurds have the same resolute success over their brutual oppressors.
18. #13 - If you want to stick to legal issues....
William ,   Israel   (11.27.09)
then why do yo ignore the following which ARE rooted in human courts, not necessarily G-d's law.... 1) Prior to the birth of Israel, Jews PURCHASED the land from its owners, be they the few Arabs or the Turkish Sultans. The very same land idiots like you claim was stolen. The rest was won in defensive wars. 2) Based on Turkish and British land records, most Arabs who claim to be disposed "palestinians" infact never owned property. The same population you claim are both natives and land owners. 3) In the rule of law, State-owned land can be transferred between States by agreement or by war. Most of the land lost by the Turks was State-owned, and none was sold by Brits before 1947. It's legal for Israel to have it yet you claim it's stolen from people who never ruled or had a State of their own "palestinians". 4) If we're on the subject of G-d, don't forget the underlying principal that Muslims use to claim Jerusalem and the ME, N. Africa, and Southern Spain..."because any land that was conquered for Allah shall always remain the possession of Muslims". If you're going to argue legal facts, atleast learn the facts (hint: don't use Wikipedia OR Al-Jazeera)
19. #11 - E. Jerusalem was Jewish, before ethnic cleansing
William ,   Israel   (11.27.09)
Before the 1947 defensive war at the hands of racist Arabs, all of Jerusalem was a Jewish majority. It was the successive massacring of innocent Jews at the hands of racists in 1920, 1929, 1936 and again in 1947 which had dissolved that majority. The act of ethnic cleansing E. Jerusalem and the West Bank/Gaza of its Jews was both illegal and immoral. Since you're a fan of Intl law - you would know that the Arabs' many actions broke many laws. Berlin was reunified as was Jerusalem after foreign powers divided it. A great injustice has been reversed and so shall it stay.
20. Mubarak, u r dictator of Egypt,not Israel
egypt is coptic land ,     (11.27.09)
21. Hmmmn, I don't think they even want a state....
Brian ,   Tel Aviv   (11.27.09)
.....just to divide us and possibly even cause an Israeli civil war. Jerusalem is the point of no return.
22. You are Great, William !
Jennie ,   NYC   (11.28.09)
You are a real 'troper" William; Love reading your sharp & all factual responses to the enemy and selfhating Jews.... It is high time already for Israel to learn, that just as all other previous aggrements, this too will fail...We need to stop caring what Mubarak, Abbas and other enemies of the Jewish State think....They never wanted peace and never will....But they incorporate the "peace" word every time they mean"innihilation", just to fool Israel and the world ....When Will our leaders finally give up on playing "nice"...We were always alone against the world and will be. But we have the "Highest" power on our side and Peace will come only with a strong Israel within the borders including the West Bank, Golan Heights and all other land, Israel had won over defensive wars....Israel has no business negotiating with terrorists like Chamas and all others...Such cowardly methods never brought peace and never will...
23. Yehudi, Israel was created in 1948 and not before...
BBSNews ,   Charlotte, NC   (11.28.09)
...and the only real set of official borders that Israel has are those described by Ben-Gurion. There is no invisible skydaddy who hands out land deeds any more than there are 72 virgins and paradise awaiting a martyr. So-called "biblical law" is irrelevant and has no bearing whatsoever on the modern state of Israel.
24. Pepe, thank you for your support!
BBSNews ,   Charlotte, NC   (11.28.09)
25. William, you left some out of your list...
BBSNews ,   Charlotte, NC   (11.28.09)
...of course I knew the irony would be lost on you, most oppressors have little to no ability to recognize they are doing the same things they accuse others of. You wrote: "I only wish the Basques, Darfurians, Tibetans, B'hais and Kurds have the same resolute success over their brutual oppressors." And I wish the same to the Palestinians, the Lebanese and the Syrians. May they triumph over their decades long brutal occupation regime they've been forced to put up with, largely financed by the American taxpayer..
26. William, you are being quite foolish and embarrassing...
BBSNews ,   Charlotte, NC   (11.28.09)
...yourself. Don't try and bluster your way through and claim you know "facts" when they are simply made up hasbara talking points that have been debunked for so many years you sound like a juvenile for even bringing them up. The entirety of 2 and 3 is just gobblety gook with no basis in fact, it's sheer made up bovine excrement. You will never, ever, hear of any reputable court of law saying "well god said so and so..." precisely because there are literally hundreds of "gods" and not a one of them with a phone number or an email address and in today's reality-based it's just not going to ever happen. And as far as Wikipedia, yes, any information about Israel is now completely suspect because an outfit called CAMERA has been trashing the entries and putting in their ideological propaganda in place of facts. Anything to prevent the truth from coming out... It's not working anymore though.
27. You can BET that if it was cairo instead of jerusalem...
Psalms83 ,   Selah   (11.28.09)
Mubarak would be speaking out of the otherside of his mouth.....!!! it is easy to speak if it isn't your countries interest at stake....
28. # 10
Israel Forever ,   Israel   (11.28.09)
Go read the Bible (old Testament) & see what lands God gave Israel. So simple.
29. To ignorant #18
Addle ,   Toronto   (11.28.09)
1.) Yes, they did buy land but if you actually check the maps, the amount of Zionist purchased land versus Palestinian owned land was rather small. Why else did the Arabs reject the partition plan? Because land accommodated for the Jews superseded what they had actually purchased. 2.) Records please. And what do you mean "never owned property"? What where they (the Palestinians) doing for the past 500 years in Palestine? Just standing there? 3.) The Zionists took away land that was owned by the Palestinians. http://z.about.com/d/middleeast/1/0/v/8/-/-/0723-occupation-israel-pale.jpg Corrections for stage 4: Gaza returned to Palestinians and less green spots in the West Bank (due to settlers aggressively building on already existing Palestinian land). It's not legal if you are a signatory of the Geneva convention. 4.) Yes, they use to claim it. Will they get it back anytime soon? No. I don't use Al-Jaazera. Wikipedia is ok if you count the references but still I use sites that are instantly reliable and politically neutral.
30. #19 Israel is also guilty of using ethnic cleansing.
Addle ,   Toronto   (11.28.09)
Haganah, Irgun and Lehi all participated in massacres of the Palestinians which was often used as ways of gaining control of Palestinian homes/land. Jerusalem didn't belong to Israel or Palestine but was to be an international city for both so your comparison to Berlin is irrelevant.
