31. Abbas Folly
Ron ,   OC, USA   (10.16.10)
No recognition of Israel as a Jewish state, no population transfer, the "Wrong of Return" is still part of their agenda along with 67 borders. Israel may as well build. Israel is not under any obligation of national suicide.
32. These retards will never ever get it...
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (10.16.10)
The only thing they want to achieve, is Israels willingness to concede to its self-destruction... THIS is the only purpose of the so called peace process... WE ALL know it... and Hussein Obama WANTS it...!!!!
33. Abbas
Mark ,   USA   (10.16.10)
What exactly is Abbas agreeing to if: 1. He is not recognizing Israel is a Jewish 2. He won't give up on the Palestinian right of return, or any kind of population transfer, as part of a permanent agreement? Israel needs to remain steadfast. The elections in the United States will put pro-Israelis in the Congress, and Osama's days in the WH are numbered.
34. If this is a peace process then I am Yuri Gagarin !
olim hadashim ,   tel aviv/israel   (10.16.10)
35. 1947 no Israel - taken by force, time 4 peace 1967 borders
Jack. A   (10.16.10)
36. NO PEACE
Tammy ,   Israel   (10.16.10)
WAKE UP ALL AND SMELL THE ROSES. EVERYONE HAS BEEN IN A COMA HOW COULD ANYONE THINK THAT ABBAS WOULD MAKE PEACE????? ALL THE ARABS WANT IS ISRAEL OUR BEAUTIFUL, ISRAEL WHICH WE BUILT UP IN 63 YEARS TO BE A 1ST WORLD COUNTRY THATS WHAT THEY WANT...... WE JEWS ALL NEED TO STAND TOGETHER TO BE STRONG AND STEADFAST COME WHAT MAY
37. Obviously Palestine is not a national homeland either
Grandma Savta ,   Israel   (10.16.10)
If Israel is not the national homeland for the Jews, then the non-existent "Palestine" cannot be the national homeland for the Arabs who call themselves "Palestinians". Back in my young days, when the newspapers reported about the "Palestinians" they meant the Jews. I am saddened by the inherent racism and hatred by the Palestinians, who claim on one hand they want peace and justice, but on the other hand keep pretending that we Jews do not exist. There will be no peace until the Palestinians accept us for what we are - a national people living in our national homeland. If we do not deserve that, then neither do the Palestinians and we are thus condemned to continue fighting each other.
38. No récognition, no halls
Norman ,   Eurabia, France   (10.16.10)
If palys don't want a jewish state and at the same time don't want even a jew in their "state" it is useless to continue this pseudo process to no peace ;-)
39. fine ...
Y.G. ,   israel   (10.16.10)
... you won't recognise Israel as a Jewish state. Fine. The government should now break off all links with the Fakestinians, and let the world know that any attacks by them on Israel will result in invocation of Israel's right to self defence under public international law. Why are we even listening to these maniacs' demands for a 'freeze' on building in an area of Israel given to the Jews at the 1922 San Remo Conference? Why, when they insist on '1967 borders' (in existence before THEY started a war), does the world not erupt in gales of hysterical, derisive laughter? In short, what happened to our testicles?
40. BUNCH OF MORONS
poppy ,   south africas   (10.16.10)
They cant seem to get it MORONS - IDIOTS - OR BRILLIANT ACTORS THEY SHOULD WIN THE ACADAMEY AWARDS THERE WILL BE PEACE WITHOUT ACCEPTING ISRAEL AS A JEWISH STATE LET IT SINK IN
41. Peaceful Religion?
Shimon ,   Cincinnati, USA   (10.16.10)
Mr. Abbas's refusal to recognize Israel as the Jewish State has only tangential political reasoning. It stems from the fact that Muslims believe in the concept of Ooma: that their religion comprises a geo/theo/political state whose boundaries do not exist. To recognize a Jewish State" would mean legitimizing Judaism. That they cannot do. Don't feel badly about it, as Judaism (and every other religion) regards the others as invalid, and itself as "the only true way". Perhaps the real answer to peace is to abolish religion and all other 'splitter' beliefs. Good luck.
42. PEACE
POPPY ,   SOUTH AFRICA   (10.16.10)
THERE WILL BE NO PEACE UNLESS THEY ACCEPT THE ISRAEL STATE OF ISRAEL SINK THIS IN YOUR BRAINS IF YOU HAVE ANY
43. That's OK; Palestinians are Myth
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (10.16.10)
Palestinians were invented in 1964 by Yassar Arafat, an Egyptian, born, raised and educated. The PLO was funded by a a Egyptian terrorist group The Muslim Brotherhood. Who Hosni Mubarak the curret leader in Egypt still fights today. So two can play that game. The difference of course is the Arabs who now refer to themselves as Palestinians, really are just a invention, a hoax. While the Jewish people and Israel are an absolute historical fact. There will be no exchange of peoples, fine. The Arabs living in refugee camps can stay there...if their hosts let them...once a new country called Palestine is formed, they more than likely will be kicked out of the host countries.Israel has no legal or moral obligation towards the Arabs after they get their new country. Israel is a Jewish Nation-state, that iswhat the intention was when reborn. If Palestine..the country... uses the refugee issue as the new pretext to continue attacking Israel. Israel will have the right to take whatever action it deems necessary to prevent those attacks. Bottom line, there is no right of return for Arabs, Palestine is there country so that is where they go.
44. Jews are not even allowed to have a state of their own.
Saifudinne ,   France   (10.16.10)
Kesubos 111a , talmud . Forbids the jews from creating a state, the jews must live in exile. Why are you twisting things? Allah predicted this, thats why you jews are cursed. You twist things in your own book!
45. Let me say this unequivocally
Nour ,   One-State   (10.16.10)
There will never be a recognition of any "Jewish state" from Jordan river to the Mediterranean. The sooner neo-Zionists accept this reality, the closer we will get to a workable political solution.
46. Nour #45 Let me say this unequivocally
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (10.16.10)
There will never be an existence of any "Palestinian state" from Jordan river to the Mediterranean. The sooner Fascist-Islamics accept this reality, the closer we will get to a workable political solution.
47. Nour #45
Sol ,   Toronto   (10.16.10)
Nour, recognition of Israel as a Jewish state, the homeland of the Jewish people, is not negotiable. There is no workable political solution without that recognition. It is the crux of the conflict, the reason for all the wars, the reason for your self inflicted refugee problem. Let me say again - it is not negotiable. Peace comes with compromise and mutual respect. You have a choice - peace or war.
48. #37. I like your post.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (10.16.10)
