Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.26.11)
enemies of Israel...nothing new about it...mind your OWN business dirty wimps...!!!!!!!
2. Israel was forced in Palestine, TIME to force Palestine also
Ann ,   UK   (03.26.11)
3. Land before '67 war was liberated from Jodan or Egypt
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NY   (03.26.11)
What the Europeans seem to forget that the land that they want to use to create the first ever Palestinian state was supposed to be Israel and was captured by Jordan or Egypt in '48. Then Israel liberated it in '67. But at no time was it Palestinian
4. No need to hurry, The Arab world is changing
Israeli   (03.26.11)
In less then a year from now, the Arab world will be very different from what it's now. Jordan could become to be a democratic Palestinian state. Therefore, there's no need to hurry and propose new peace deals. Proposal made today, will be unrelevant few months from now.
5. ISRAEL !!! - BE AVERE OF -
Orao. ,   Srbia.   (03.26.11)
Diplomats: New European peace proposal Following deadlocked negotiations, Britain, France, Germany ask UN, EU to draft new peace agreement that would lead to establishment of Palestinian state - WHAT THE EU WILL DO TO YOU - Daniel 9 27And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week; and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease. And for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate." Orao.Srbia.
6. The true reason.
Jules   (03.26.11)
Those "peace brokers" are scared to death by the rising oil price. They will utter any rubbish, even "peaceful settlement", in a vain hope that the price might stop. IT WON'T.
7. # 1 Why not to live in yoor country $$ Germany?Loyalty?
Ian   (03.26.11)
8. The basis for talks must be UN Security Council Res. 242:
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (03.26.11)
242, while calling upon the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to withdraw its troops, it does so by expecting them to withdraw to "secure and recognized boundaries" Note, 242 passed unanimously at the Security Council with the explicit goal of resolving the Arab Israeli conflict. 242 was accepted by ALL relevant parties, including the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). And, 242 has been not only the basis for all peace talks to date, but also for actual peace treaties between Israel and Egypt and Israel and Jordan. 242 does not call at all for the setting up of an additional state in the region, nor does it even mention concepts such as "Palestine", "Palestinians" or a "Palestinian state". Israel's willingness to set up an additional independent state in the disputed territories has been nothing short of a good will gesture. No one, no one should take this gesture and push Israel further to take risks to its security and the very life of its citizens. Doing so is the manifestation of the ultimate cynicism about human life: first the Europeans murdered a third of our people, and now the push for the final solution of those Jews who have gathered in their homeland, as if considering Israel as a ghetto whose residents must be exterminated. Never, Never Again!!
9. #2 Ann - Europe forgets that there never was a Palestine
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NY   (03.26.11)
Ann - Israel was carved out of the Ottoman Empire from land that was originally Israel before it was conquered. At no time in history was there ever a country called Palestine or a Palestinian people. They are a fictitious group of Arabs that in the '60s started calling themselves Palestinian. The land that you want to give them is historically Israel, and was given to Israel by the UK, League of Nations, and the UN then Jordan and Egypt refused to accept the creation of Israel in the Jewish homeland and they stole the land from Israel. Israel liberated it in '67. The Palestinian Queen sits in Jordan.
10. Not Just Britain, France and Germany, but
Doug ,   Rochester, USA   (03.26.11)
Any nation that is for freedom, civil rights and obeying International Law is the enemy of Israel. Shame on those anti-semitic nations!
11. European imperialism
John cone ,   USA   (03.26.11)
European imperialissm and colonialism at play israel must fight back
12. Conflict mentality
Pini   (03.26.11)
The world must understand the sides are living in a conflict mentality, which makes any peace process yet another battle for them.
13. New European peace proposal
Yonatan ,   Yerusalem   (03.26.11)
Britain France and Germany first destroy completely down to the roots the intense dislike for and prejudice against Jewish people, then and only then ask for new peace proposals.
14. Make peace: Bring all the "Palestinian's" to YOUR country
BTW ,   Israel   (03.26.11)
Let's see if they let you live in peace.
15. Do we tell you how to run Britain, France or German??
Eliza ,   Israel   (03.26.11)
NO, so why do you think we care what you say? We don't.
16. there won't be any peace 'til palestinians recognize Israel
(03.26.11)
and it's right to exist in peace and silence. without this, is completly usless to speak about peace. without this palestine will never exist.
17. Peace or Piece? EU, UK, UN fix you own problems!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (03.26.11)
You want Peace but you bomb Libya. That's a good one. OK, Peace yes but first stop the rockets. Stop the threats against Israel from the Dictator Assad, the terrorists Hamas and Islamic Jihad and arrest Nasrallah who is determined to destroy Israel and is the man behind the killing of Harriri! The Palestinians MUST recognize Israel as the home of the Jewish people (I am secular but I sincerely believe in this) and stop terror attacks like the murder of the Vogel family members in Itamar. Do this, and there will be Peace and both sides can then live normal lives and the Palestinians will prosper! Ah, the EU and the others are dreaming again and trying to burn the candle at both ends. Bomb some Arab countries but let "friendly" despots oppress their people as long at they buy British and French weapons and appease the Muslims by forcing Israel into submission! They forget that Israel is a democracy and any agreement has to be approved by the people!
18. The UN is not trusted in Israel
JO   (03.26.11)
and look at it's tract record, and the members of the security council of human rights - that alone should you sober. As to solutions, apart from borders, the refugee problem is not Israel's alone- it was those countries that decided on war to eliminate the Jewish state while it accepted partition, and since then they accept no responsibility for the mess they made. Israel had it's fair share of refugee's from Arab lands and a also a good number of Arab citizens remained. Only the Kingdom of Jordan has been fair and just to repair some of the demage. And Egypt got rid of Gaza after occuping it for nearly twenty years. The UN is a double edged sword not trusted and it's past record shows this.
19. OBAMA AND HIS EUROPEANS LACKEYS
FELIX ,   JLM   (03.26.11)
First, all what the Europeans are doing- they are doing it at the request of Mr Obama who right now is reluctant to confront Israel because of the coming presidential elections. But beyond that - the whole middle-east is shaking and quaking from Morocco and Algier to Afghanistan and nobody knows what will be its shape a year from now/...and all what these stupid and short-sighted leaders have in mind is how to force their only stable and reliable ally in the region to make a suicidal peace deal with its ennemies !!! Ayear from now , the stupid west may find itself with a Hamas-led government in Jordan ,a shiite pro-Iranian regime in Iraq, a nuclear Iran and a huge Iranian army in the heart of Jerusalem ( and all that without firing a single bullet ) Wake -up stupid leaders of the west!Israel will never agree to be the sacrificial lamb of the world or the Tchecoslovakia of the 21 century!Some people believe that in 2012 ,the end of the world is coming. The stupid policies of the decadent west undoubtedly are bringing that end closer !!!
20. #4
Logic ,   Israel   (03.26.11)
What the "Jordan is Palestine" crowd doesn't understand is that if that happens, then the new Palestinian state on the East Bank will promote unity with the West Bank and continue the irredentist conflict against Israel.
21. Eurabia wants to sacrifice \israel for Arab OIL!
Over my dead body!   (03.26.11)
22. So that is the official end of the 'piece' talks!
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (03.26.11)
a unilaterally declared 2ND 'palestinian' state where the 'palestinians' have got away with not recognising Israel.
23. camron and sarkozy trying to appease
marcel   (03.26.11)
europe which is in fear of its moslems is trying to jam a 67 2 state down israel's throat. Israel can only block it with lieberman or landau at the helm as bibi, who is now joined with barak cannot take the pressure that obama will pile on with the EU. If the libyan venture is successful, there will be even more pressure on israel which could stand its ground since europeans are not a serious military force by themselves. If kaddafi holds on, then israel will be vindicated, Europe will look weak as it really is, and obama will be like carter in 79 after the iran rescue was botched. His reelection will be in danger. And israel will be able to tell the europeans to basically go to hell as liberman does whereas livni runs for cover every time they utter their useless proposals for peace.
24. No Palestinian state.
manicdrummer ,   Israel   (03.26.11)
And no membership in the EU for Israel. G-d knows what happens next.
25. To all 22 commentators
Harold ,   USA   (03.26.11)
The United States was never an honest brocker and never will be as long as AIPAC is still alive.. so European Union have a excellent idea to take over this problem together with the UN and solve it as soon as possible. BiBi will fall on his knees and beg for peace as soon as the EU impose sanctions against Israel and stop trading with her.
26. Europe and the dark forces
Brod ,   USA   (03.26.11)
Europe should stop being deceived, manipulated and pressured by the Islamist-Jihadist usurpers in doing their dirty work of usurping Israel's liberated historic homeland of Judea and Samaria-Land of Israel. It is time they side with Israel in defending the Land of Israel from the Islamist-Jihadist usurpers. If they don't then they are continuing the pathway of AntiSemitism that led European AntiSemites to murder 6million Jews in the Holocaust in WWII. If they don't want to be called AntiSemites, they should stop meddling in Israel's internal affairs. They should stop helping the Islamist-Jihadists-the number one enemy of Western civilization, in crusading against Israel.
27. EURABIA
felix ,   jlm   (03.26.11)
For arab oil or/and arab and muslim votes in their own countries.
28. The "Palestinans"have rejected 67 borders with adjustments..
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (03.26.11)
any number of times. So good luck trying to get them to agree to anything. Maybe after a new nakba, they'll lick their wounds and take stock, but by then it'll be too late. ,
29. #2 Holocaust forced Jewish back to Israel
Dani ,   Amsterdam NL   (03.26.11)
Jews where for centuries persecuted by Europeans, we never had a nation or not even properties because we where not allowed to have it. Your "Alibi"to start prosecutions against us was Judah Sin, we are guilty for the killing of your G-D. 1948 Europeans gave us a little piece of desert surrounded by Nations with a common purpose to send us into the see in order to finish the job you (EU) where not able during WWII. We will fight to defend our land and our right to exist.
30. New Middle East
David S ,   New York   (03.26.11)
It is time to create a new middle east where all countries are viable and where tribes are all together. Jordan should be the palestinian state and all palestinians should move there. Kurdistan should be created taking up some of the land of Turkey, Iran, and northern Iraq. Southern Irag should become part of Iran. Shiite countries should be all shiite and sunni ones all Sunni. No need to jam people together in tiny non-viable states who hate each other . Its time for a rational reallocation of the middle east.
