stude ham   (02.23.10)
abbas is a senile doddering spent political has been.
2. Wow
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (02.23.10)
And all the rocket attacks and mortars, etc. are what? Acts of friendship and peace perhaps? Hamas' charter declares their goal is genocide. They are at war with us already. Maybe just maybe our leadership will get enough backbone to respond as they deserve.
3. Boo hoo
carlos   (02.23.10)
And Palestinians declaring that all of Palestine from the Jordan to the Med is theirs isn't a provocation? You were offered a state numerous times and turned it down. Tough luck.
4. Arabs and their extreme intolerance
shuebydoo ,   USA   (02.23.10)
Doesn't this idiot realize that these sites are Jewish??? Or most probably he is afraid that the land actually is Jewish!!! Either way he loses in the face of truth and fact. The extreme intolerance coming from these Arabs are absolutely SICKENING!!!!
5. Arabs hate historical facts and archeological evidence
Laurence ,   US   (02.23.10)
Why? Because they have a hard time smearing it. So, they threaten...and what else is new? This goes back 1300 years to Mohammed (Imach Shemo)
6. THIS IS RESULT OF ISRAELS FAILURE TO BE PROUD OF TORAH

7. casus belli!
tom ,   toronto, canada   (02.23.10)
protecting the holy sites of other faiths is now a threat to the palestinian anarchy, according to abu mazzen! why is the world not clamouring to depose this hate-mongering fool?
8. heritage sites
colin   (02.23.10)
Abbass says there will be a war. Ist Who is this abbas???Do the arabs want a war again with Israel. ?? This time they will be wiped of the face of the earth.Are the arabs sure that the backstabbing EU will be of any assistance??The anti Israeli-anti semetic UN has been wiped of any reasonning.The arab block of cowards are all words with no action except underhand suiside bombers of innocent people.The heritage sites are mentioned by the PM to inform everybody in the world that Israel belongs to the jews. No 2 states in Israel

U MEAN THE MUSLIMS HAVENT ALREADY DECALARED A WORLD JIHAD ......WHEN WILL PEOPLE REALISE THERE 'RELIGIOUS WAR STARTED ALREADY........THEY KILL CHRISTIANS JEWS HINDUS EVERYDAY....... MUSLIMS KILL MUSLIMS.....IN THE NAME OF ISLAM .....THE RELIGION OF PEACE
10. Jewish Antifada needed against Arabs for declaring State
BBSNews ,   Charlotte, NC   (02.23.10)
If a list arouses Arabs then stealing Jewish land should be met with a harsh reaction. Eat your heart out, impostor!
11. BRING IT ON!!
dave ,   uk   (02.23.10)
12. Let's have a revolt
Sagi   (02.23.10)
an uprising, an intifada. Let's kill a few hundred people, better still, a few thousand. Why ? Because of some stones, holy stones, sacred stones. Religion is the pits. It stinks. It is madness. It is the antithesis of normalcy.
13. Palestinian heritage sites?
Raoul ,   Herzlia   (02.23.10)
Maybe the problem is that the Palis don't have heritage sites of their own. I wonder why!
14. The extremists in Israel are it's downfall...
BBSNews ,   Charlotte, NC   (02.23.10)
...one look at these extremist talkbacks is proof enough for the Western world. Israel has gone insane. Hell, Livni was even proud of it. Declaring "heritage" sites on Palestinian land, and yes, no matter what you wingnuts claim it is BY LAW, Palestinian land, was bound to cause violence. But Bibi wants violence. Between Dubai and the Goldstone Report and the effort to keep on rushing more illegal colonies to completion, Bibi needs a war. It is Israel's way. Precipitate a war, and keep on building more illegal colonies. Rinse with Hasbarah, repeat. Decade after decade.
15. Abbas the moderate
(02.23.10)
Abbas is saying "anything Israel will do short of surrender will bring war". It seems Abbas is confirming that everything Ben Ari says is right and everything Peres, Livni and Barak say is false.
16. DOESN'T TAKE MUCH!
OZ   (02.23.10)
does it ,to ""provoke' the arabs in to war...they are itching so badly for a fight that will end all fights ,so it seems... that they are looking for every possible declaration by israel to act upon it... heck, our mere exsitence here has been a reason for 6 wars and counting... are you reading this ""shalom achzav"??
17. NO NEGOTIATIONS NO SURRENDER
Nour ,   Palestine   (02.23.10)
Palestine from River to Sea. Settlers: Nice doing business with you. Kisses & Hugs.
18. the arabs just want an excuse to make trouble
zionist forever   (02.23.10)
The arabs are just looking to start trouble. Obama is putting pressure on Abbas to negotiate even if Bibi won't stop building in Jerusalem and construction in Judea & Samaria is limited. If Obama won't accept his excuses not to talk to Israel then use this to make another excuse not to talk and he doesn't want Israel to do anything anyway .... if its good for jews its not good for arabs. What is wrong with investing in doing up a site thats holy to jews & muslims. I would have thought the muslims would welcome it if Israel is going to the expense of making a site they use nicer. Rachels Tomb has no holy value to the muslims Rachel was Jacobs wife who was son of Issac she had no connection to Ishmael who is a muslim prophet. Its a jewish only holy place so whats the muslim problem? I don't see christians making trouble if the government decided to invest in the church of the Sepilca. The muslims say that Temple Mount is their holy place and theirs alone assuming that it were true and it wasn't holy to jews. Even if it was the case that jews had no connection to the site religiously they do know that some jews want to pray there but the muslims won't have it. Israel had a real fight on its hand when it decided to create a synagogue at the Tomb of the Patriarches. The muslims had already set up a site there for them to go pray but they were not willing to let the jews build a place to pray next door they wanted the site to be exclusively muslim even though they do accept Abraham is considered a prophet to jews and christians as well as muslims. Rachel is no muslim prophet and even the muslims don't pretend she is and they don't even pretend the muslims have any religious connection with Rachels Tomb but when the jews want to invest in the place its all out war. The EU & UN and probably Obama will rush to take their side simply because they love the palestinians and if palestinians say its wrong then its wrong. The problem when it comes to all holy places is the muslims just don't want to share.
19. Abbas, Haniyeh!; who said Israel is not seeking war?
observer   (02.23.10)
20. Par for course for Holocaust denier Abbas
Ilan ,   Ariel   (02.23.10)
Part of Abbas' great attraction to the Israeli left is that he really really hates Jewish heritage. Fortunately the sane mass of the people in the country sees thinks otherwise.
21. They have Mecca
JL ,   Israel   (02.23.10)
They have Mecca and other holy Moslem places. In the Torah, it says that the Patriarchs' Cave and Rachel's Tomb belong to the Jews. They can't bear for us to have anything at all. They just don't want us here. They cannot tolerate a Jewish State, period.
22. So Palestinians finally acknowledge iIT IS a religious war.
EST ,   Miami USA   (02.23.10)
They have always claimed it was a matter of territory. Their lies are finally being uncovered ... they claim it is a religious war and thus nothing the State of Israel does or doesn't do will bring peace to the region. The Palestinians have an apartheid, racist agenda and that is the truth!!!!
23. the stance of the US in a case of religious war
observer   (02.23.10)
The Americans will say "this is their religious war and not ours". America could simply go on its way, rebuilding its economy and marveling over the madness of two religions fighting to the death. Do you what it is like when America does not back Israel in any war?; a war without Nickle Grass?
24. Arabs: breathing will ignite war.
(02.23.10)
25. to 5 and other
smith   (02.23.10)
Maimonides told Mohamed was a meshuga. This explain everything...
26. abbas's mafia talk
david ,   new york   (02.23.10)
"warning" of a war is the mafia way of threatening a war. its kind of like saying: "your store looks so unsafe, it could go up in flames just like that. what you really need is some protection. if you give us $10,000 a month, we will do you a favor and 'protect' you"
27. The Song of Moses will be sang,again...
Mikha ,   Nai'   (02.23.10)
and again to the Lord God of Israel.For when these enemies of Israel chant for war,they challenge not only the Jews but the Mighty God of Israel who made the very covenant with Abraham.The descendants of Abraham were given firm instructions-Israel is playing its part of the Agreement while all what the Arabs do is against peace by usurping,inciting and facilitating chaos.Its a good thing to know that even that small portion of land they hold in Israel will be taken away and joined rightfully to eretz Israel.
28. Abbas is Israeli agent &Gaddafi is justified to refuse him
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (02.23.10)
29. #14 reality check
(02.23.10)
What does Netanyahu have to do with Goldstone? The report was written about the alleged war crimes committed by Olmert, Livni and Barak.
30. To All
Dave ,   Bs.Aires-Argentina   (02.23.10)
As a Jew living in the Galuth, but with a lot of relatives and friends of mine living in Eretz Israel, I realize that every measure that Israel takes, no matter what small or insignificant is, produce treaths of war or Intifada form the Palestine people. The measures regarding the JEWISH Holy Sites, as I was reading, are aimed at the improvement of the infrastructure of them, and has nothing to do with the sovereignty in the region. In my humble opinion the Palestinians is using every small and well intended action of Israel to spread hatred and threats to the Jewish People of Israel. Excuse my hard thinking, but I hope that if they launch the supposed bloody "WAR" or INTIFADA against our people, it is time for the IDF / IAF to launch something as the Operation Cast Lead in the West Bank, despite the adverse opinion and condemns of the Anti-Jewish as Obama-USA, the EU, the UN, Russia, China, etc. etc, (That in my opinion could them go to HELL) , because Israel has the RIGTH to do so, in spite that the attacks from the Palis is listed as "Casus Belly" in the International Laws ( More clearly, the West Bank is not "Ocuppied Territory", because Jordan has renounced his sovereignty over these territories, and no one State in the world is claiming for it, the correct status for this piece of land is "In dispute" and not "Cccupied", and this change the interpretation of the International Laws regarding territories won in defensive wars. May be with this type of strong military action, we Jews could finish with the endless avidity of the Palis over concessions of Israel . . . Why I put this hard proposal ? - Because unfortunatly, as time goes by, it was demonstrated clearly that the only language that the Arab People understand are the strong hits, and a proof of that is the relative quietness in Israel after Cast Lead in 2009, and the last Lebanon War againt Hezbolla in 2006. Remeber, the old advice: The party that hits first, hits better. In know that my position is very hard, and is not so sympathetic with the Palis and our Left wing, BUT it is time that the Jewish people react over his enemies. Plese YNET, i understand that your point of view is opposite to the mine, but try to respect the plurality of ideas and don't censure my post, I hope that you will post my comment in the talckbaks Respecfully
