31. #23; deut, WRONG AGAIN
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (04.12.11)
First, there are NO 67 borders, and UN Resolution 242 stated quite clearly that Israel was always suppose to keep some of the land for security. So your wrong on that point. Second. why would it be the UN mandate to "delegitimize" Israel? Where did you get that idea from? Of course your wrong that it's NOT Israel's concern if a new Arab state can govern themselves. Since their security is at stake. I guess you just like instigating trouble hoping to evoke an anger response from people. You don't. Your just a garden variety antisemitic fool, that nobody takes seriously. because what you write is so silly, that's it's laughable. But please keep writing, I like people to see what sort of people support the Arabs, thanks.

It is never going to happen, but let's assume the ridiculous scenario of an independent ersatz "Palestinian" state. There are thirty competing ersatz "Palestinian" organizations, each purporting to be the sole true representative of the ersatz "Palestinian" people. They do not get along at all well, and on quite a few occasions have descended into periods of violent attacks upon one another. An independent ersatz "Palestinian" state would be seen as a prize, and the violence would be ratcheted up instantly. It is therefore very much Israel's business. But that’s all conjecture, because the ersatz “Palestinians” will never have a state. The only illegitimacy is the ersatz "Palestinian" people -- a mythical people (having stolen that identity from the Jews, who are the true Palestinians), residing in a mythical state, with mythical leadership qualities and a mythical ability to govern. The world has passed the ersatz “Palestinians” by, I'm afraid. Their last best chance for an ersatz "Palestinian" state came in 2000, when Israel offered them 90% of the West Bank and East Jerusalem as a capital. They walked away from the offer, choosing to start the second intifada instead. Do you think the world failed to notice? That's when they washed their hands of the ersatz “Palestinians”. Here's a grim reality check: what is said in the United Nations and what is said in the private halls of power of the nations that count are two very, very different things. There are a whole host of countries that are quite willing to pay lip service but will not lift a hand to help the ersatz “Palestinians,” who are incapable of helping themselves. The sane and reasonable world knows exactly what they are: a bunch of unrepentant terrorist scum. They aren't even important to their own brother Arabs -- with all the turmoil sweeping through the Arab world; with all of the demands being made for change -- have you noticed that no one has included the ersatz “Palestinians” on their list of demands? Not even once.
33. #3 ERIC - Money is one thing they'll have by the truckloads
West Coast Canuck   (04.12.11)
Iran is always ready to help, don't forget. There's not a single ME group that lacks for funds. They find a way, legal or illegal. Israelis are deluding themselves by doing nothing to preempt it. You'll lose your land because you failed to pressure your govenrnment to annex the land. Israel has everything a sovereign country needs except the will to protect the contested land. That's where the Palestinians are much better than you.
34. UN hogwash - PA is not even close to ready
Brian Cohen Judean P ,   Judean Peoples Front   (04.12.11)
There are two different armies and a dozen or more militias running around the west bank and Gaza strip. The PA cannot control them. There can be no double state with Fatahstan in the west bank and Hamastan in Gaza. It will be a failed "country" from the start. By refusing to rejoin the peace process, the Palestinians continue to show they are unprepared and not ready to have their own country. There is no shortage of overpaid, unethical UN workers willing to say anything and fake reports. We've seen it before, we see it now. The UN has screwed up so much, it cannot be looked on as a sane arbiter of thought, let alone a body working for the common good. The UN helped create the mess in the first place when its cowardly leaders withdrew peacekeeping forces in 1967 as Egypt demanded, since Egypt was the country leading the Arab war cries to push the Jews into the sea. Had the UN stood up to Arab aggression in 1967, the 6-day war might have been avoided and there simply would be no "Palestinians", since the west bank was Jordan and only became the rallying cry for "Palestine" after Jordan's army was crushed.
35. Govern themselves? More like killing each other-Hamas vs PA
EST ,   Miami USA   (04.12.11)
36. Yeah, and pigs are developing wings
Sceptic ,   Israel   (04.12.11)
37. PA ready to govern state?
Joseph ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.12.11)
To date they have received millions of dollars in aid which was put in private accounts and used for buying weapons to fight against Israel; so, it seems that all the years that this has been going on they have experience in performing one thing. They are ready to govern a terror state against Israel.
38. #32 your comment lacks substance sarah
deutronomy 28 ,   world   (04.12.11)
no need for any reply on it ...
39. #31 you wish im wrong LOL
deutronomy 28 ,   world   (04.12.11)
where i got the "delegitimaatizing of israel" ? i was being saracstic because the moment israeli politicians heard the UN intentions to recognize palestine with the 67 borders, THEY started screaming and crying that it would be the 1st step of the "delegitimatizing of israel" on Ynet mind you LOL and you can call me what you want, what i am does not depend on a the opinion of a narrow minded person like you...if my comments angers you thats your problem. the truth hurts indeed. if people dont take me seriously why are you replying to me? that in itself is very contradictory dont you think? but its nothing surprising, thats the problem with who you are defending, hypocrisy and emptiness of anything susbstantial...
40. To: No. 38
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.12.11)
I accept your unconditional surrender with grace. You may keep your sword. You'll need it to fall on.
41. # 38 & # 39
Birdi ,   Israel & proud of it   (04.12.11)
Hey cleverclogs, you may not want a reply from Sarah,you sure will get 1 from me. Sarah B. & Mark from Georgia are 2 of our most intelligent & respected posters on this forum. Many of us regular posters greatly appreciate their input here. They both know exactly what they are voicing their opinions on, each & everytime they write a talkback here. Your inadequate brain cells cannot absorb reality & truth. Poor you !
42. another Israel basher in the UN...
bruno ,   Portugal   (04.12.11)
How much was this guy in the UN paid in petrodollars to say what he said. I'm sure he knows he's joking. That's his job...
43. IF THE PA REALLY WERE READY FOR STATEHOOD.......
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (04.12.11)
..........it should be prepared to press on with new PA and 'Presidential' elections,immediately. Are Abbas and his cronies scared of fear free,democratic elections?Aren't they ready for those? THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
44. This is some great big cosmic joke ...
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (04.12.11)
someone is laughing very loudly somewhere. The UN is fixated with giving land to islam that never belonged to islam Ivory Coast, South Sudan. Israel must not let this catastrophe happen - Israel cannot defned itself from the massive onslaughts that will occur once this 2nd 'palestinian' state is 'created' in Judea and Samaria. Jordan IS palestine. It's all in the archives. Dig them out.
45. What !!??
Steve ,   USA   (04.13.11)
Quote, "In a statement accompanying the report, UN special coordinator for the Middle East peace process Robert Serry, praised Palestinian Authority president Mahmud Abbas and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad." Praised for what? Turning down every peace plan presented to them by Israel?
