61. Extend the Freeze
Ron ,   OC, USA   (09.23.10)
I am an Israeli supporter. And, it would at this time be to Israel's benefit to extend this freeze by 90 days. If at the end of 90 days the talks go nowhere Israel can build away. Otherwise Israel will be blamed for the breakdown in talks.
62. Help the Palestinians return home 2 Egypt
sam ,   USA   (09.23.10)
Genesis 10-13&14
63. Oh how ignorant an "Observer" can be (#46)
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (09.23.10)
If the UN held it's session on Id al Fitr, the Muslim countries would not have shown up. If the UN held its session on Christmas day, probably the USA and a dozen or more other countries would have had empty seats. The only fear we have is of arrogant boobs like you who replace knowledge with fear of knowledge.
64. alternative to peace and "war"
i ,   jerusalem   (09.24.10)
is a war with the gloves off, with a planned objective and a point of conclusion. The objective must be eradication of Islamic hostile elements and the populations from which they arise, iow, ethnic cleansing, This is not merely a local problem. The Arabs need to be driven back to the Hejaz from which they originated. It would do well for all Western interests to vomit out the sleeping jihad monster within. States that get the picture will act and survive. Those that don't will be Islamized and will fall. It is not the first scene of this show. The European casting out of the Ummayads was viewed as a religious struggle rather that a existential struggle. That, and their predilection for sacking Jewish communities on the way bled away the efficacy of the cause. It was the same European players in WW1 that irritated the Arabs into uprising. This time, it is a soft uprising with swelling populations filling the Dar al Harb with ready faithful, waiting for the match to start the great fire.
65. Ah, the Settler mindset at play, #60?
Cameron ,   USA   (09.24.10)
Hardly surprised the imagery of Boers is sitting in your head these days. A doomed fantasy of some Israelis that they will somehow manage to keep controlling & directing the fate of the West Bank in the coming decades. Slowly and steadily, but with a true finality, the passage of Time, and Arab birthrates are ensuring the inevitable withdrawl of Israeli control over the West Bank. Oh, you may manage to carve off bits & pieces of it for incorporation into Israel proper, but the vast bulk of it is destined to become the foundation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel. I merely tell you what you already know in your gut, though it runs counter to the reality you would rather see. I sure as Hell am no fan or backer of Arabs on any level, and usually swing with the Israelis on most matters at the end of the day, but this business of the West Bank remaining under Israeli control is a lost cause. Hold on to Jerusalem, accept no flood of refugees rolling in, but realize you are, without a doubt, going to have to shift out of the WB at some point like you simply had to do in Gaza. Never a matter of "if", only a matter of "when".
66. Peace Proposal for Obama
Yaakov ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.24.10)
I have a peace proposal for the USA vis-a-via Al Qaeda: "We have said many times that our vision is for a two-state solution that includes an American, democratic USA living side by side in peace and security with a viable, independent, sovereign, and contiguous state of ...AlQaeda. … But of course, this is one of many sensitive issues that the parties will need to resolve themselves."
67. A reminder for Pres'Obama
KATE ,   ISRAEL   (09.24.10)
Dear Mr.President Oh I remember it well.>. You went to pray at the Kotel You even put a message there Yes I remember it well Talked of the children of Israel, Oh I remember it well Promising Jerusalem, Being capital of Israel? Yes I remember it well Then you changed tack oh? With same breath said: Jerusalem will be the Pals, I remember it so well. Then off to kiss King Saud? Yes I remember it well. Could it be wasn't a cramp Could it be a Muslim cut of? Your ears Obama? Yes I remember it well I wore a gown of gold, Your speeches were told, In the Cairo enterprise.. It was all such surprise! Yes I remember it well...
68. To #37
Chaim ,   Natzrat Illit   (09.25.10)
This is the only place in the western world where I can turn on the TV and see Jewish festivals and not Christian or Muslim ones. The USA and many other "civil secular democracies" are more Christian than Israel is Jewish and that's despite the so-called separation of church/religion and state. Here atheism/agnosticism is acceptable. In the States, FORGET IT! Do you know the Americans' "Pledge of Allegiance"? How about the Brits' "God Save the King/Queen"? I don't like being told by millions of fundamentalist Christians that I'm going to hell because I don't love Jesus. I'm a moderate secular Jewish Israeli and you are endangering my only opportunity to live that way. I don't appreciate your radical approach. You're free to go live in the Christian continents of South America, North America , Europe and parts of Asia. Or how about the Muslim Arab world? You're welcome to assimilate. I don't want to.
69. Peace Treaty?
Destin ,   Palm Bay, FL   (09.29.10)
Do You really believe they will sign a 7 year peace treaty? And what do you think of this particular subject::: Koffler particle accelerator at the Weizmann Institute, Rehovot, Israel
