in my opinion you are all racists(minus a small minority of normal people who just want to live quietly, so if that is you ignore this). I believe strongly in karma and that is why "palestine" will never exist. Not to mention that without the world community giving your population aid and their pitty you wouldn't even be able to feed yourselves

i am an iranian muslim. i practice my religion based on justice and humanity without hate or prejudice. i agree 100% with your observation, my friend. 100% agree about the arab and some of my iranian muslim haters. what you forgot to mention is that it is not the problem of the people. it is the problems of superiority and prejudice and hate found in the koran many messages against the jews as well as the arab hate and jealousy of jewish advancements and real superiority to the arabs in general. they hate jews because jews are very sucessful, very tough and exist. pure and simple. islamic antisemitism existed since muhammad's time and he, as an islamic leader practiced more replacement theology than most christians. this is why you see islamofascism intertwined with christian demagogues of both the far left and far right in both europe and the usa. i have lived in both iran, the usa and a part time in egypt and the hate and anti jew phobia and jealousy consumes the public and media 24 hours a day. i have never seen anything like this. it is truly sick. no wonder they have not developed in centuries. i guess it is easier to hate than to move forward, easier to blame it all on jews and the west than to create a viable suceessful and free society. apartheir in israel???? no such thing. i went therfe this summer. THERE IS NO APARTEHID AT AL AND MUSLIMS IN ISRAEL LIVE BETTER THAN 100% of muslims in any arab country and even in iran. you can't even compare the freedom muslims have in israel, 100% to the minimal freedoms they have under arab rulers. if arabs really saw how muslims live in israel, they will overthrow their governments right away. but then again, maybe this is why the despots in arab countries continually portray israel as the enemy of arabs and islam. so that they can find a common enemy and deflect their abuses of the people they lead. arab regimes always needed the jew and israel as an enemy to continue to survive but this method has only increased their citizens' suffering. hameed aboughaze, iranian

Nonsense! Palestinian Jews will always remain in a Palestinian state as equal citizens. Palestine will not identify itself by a single religion and exclude the others. Palestinians have never implied, oracted, to dispel its own Jewish population; no laws or regulations or declaration have ever been made to such an effect. Look at the policies and declarations by Israeli officials!

Abbas has said he has no problem with Jews living in Palestine, just Israeli soldiers. The writer is trying to spread fear to stop peace deal and Israeli Arabs will force Abbas to make sure that Jews in Palestine have equal rights to Arabs in Israel.

How about trying to post, or respond, without using words that have no meaning in this context, like Apartheid and racist. Apartheid was a specific policy invented by Hendrik Verwoerd to subjugate the overwhelming majority of the South African population, keeping them in econimic servitude to supply endless cheap labor to his farms (owned by Afrikaners) and mines (owned by Anglo-American). There is not a single aspect of that policy that resembles the issues at hand in Israel/Palestine. "Racist" descibes a society that classifies and treats members purely according to their birth. South Africa was Racist. Israel has not one peice of legislation dealing with race. Islam is so enormously diverse that I don't think it is "racist" either. Both Israel and Islam treat members of their own religion as special. So does Shinto in Japan, Christianity in innumerable countries, and so on. None of them are rigtht, but because it's a universal thing, picking on the "Jewish" state and saying that it alone is wrong is dishonest. The issue in Israel/Palestine is political - two roughly equal-sized population groups want to get control of the same piece of land. It is happening all over the world, and has been going on everywhere for as long as history has been recorded. So, maybe if you try to present your arguments without resorting to knee-jerk words, you wil achive some clarity in your own thoughts.

If you are genuinely from Iran I compliment you for each word you wrote in your talkback. I wish there were more people in the world that would tell the truth about Israel. I have lived in Apartheid South Africa and I know what Apartheid means. There is no such thing as Apartheid in Israel, on the contrary Israel is a totally open to all nationalities.

I will prove beyond doubt that it is absolutely the truth with nothing but 'Palestinian' sources. The charters of every terrorist organization including Hamas and PLO state that their lands will be ruled by Shi'ari. Anybody care to dispute that? Go ahead and try. Abbas says one thing to the West and another for local consumption. They already have the death penalty for selling land to Jews, how much more apartheid can one get. Hell even the South African government never went that far.

ISRAEL is Jewish state and its capital is JERUSALEM.In your koran it is written YA BNEI ISRAIL.JERUSALEM was the city of our KING SOLOMON & KING DAVID.Who are these people.Are they Christians,Muslims, Your,Hindus,Jews,or what? Your prophet Mohammad came step his foot in Jerusalem and in your koran JERUSALEM is NOT MENTIONED EVEN ONCE.How comes the body of Mohammed flew from Jerusalem to Heaven.May be Mohammed went to Heaven via Mecca or Medina but for sure not from JERUSALEM. Your name are ARABS and your land is ARABIA and your holy land is Mecca & Medina NOT JERUSALEM. ARABS MEANS ARABIA. ARABIA MEANS ARAB.

You are suggesting that Palestinians, a people who hate Jews, lynch them and bomb them, and want another holocaust to be within easy access of Jewish towns?
