1. IN YOUR DREAMS, ABBAS!
Vlad   (08.12.11)
2. I dream a world without terrorist...
Anna M Sedda ,   Rome-Italy   (08.12.11)
..a world Without Palestinian terrorism in EU,without Palestinian lies and without Palestinian authority getting free money from democratic nation given out of people that like me work every day....I hope UN -EU will do all it can to make this dream possible...
3. Oh, look!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.12.11)
A terrorist monster pretending to be a statesman. A terrorist monster with a co-opted identity and no validity pretending to be in a position of setting terms and conditions. East Jerusalem as a capital? Oh, good luck with that one. An imaginary country, with imaginary territory, naming an imaginary capital. Israel will annex Judea and Samaria, and send all those sorry Arab asses off to Jordan, country of their citizenship. Good riddance. This show has gone on long enough. It's reached the end of its run.
4. By the way .......
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (08.12.11)
The ONLY reason Abbas can make statements like this is because he's sure OUR spineless politicians, with very few exceptions, will do absolutely nothing. If he thought there would be consequences, real consequences, he would be singing a different song. This is all the result of appeasement, weakness, & lack of resolve.
5. Do you think they HEARD him,
Rebecca ,   Modiin   (08.12.11)
or were too busy applauding to listen to what he's saying.
6. Say NO to a Palestinian Terror state!!!!!
Anna M Sedda ,   Rome-Italy   (08.12.11)
7. abu mazen is a mouse
yonatan silverman ,   tel aviv israel   (08.12.11)
a mouse who believes he can mate with an elephant
8. You have one already...
Bob ,   Zimbabwe   (08.12.11)
... it's called Jordan!
9. more lies from abbas. does he ever tell the truth?
dante ,   uk   (08.12.11)
answer: no, not in the way that westerners understand the truth. for abbas, the truth is a story that, in a given moment in time, has some utility; when the story ceases to have that utility, it is discarded and is longer regarded as true. abbas lies about everything. shameless, relentless liar.
10. israel for jews and palestin for arabs. it works both ways..
i want ,   a lot of things...   (08.12.11)
11. WE want......
tiki ,   belgium   (08.12.11)
A 'settlement free' state, East Jerusalem as it's capital, 1967=49 borders and....NATO protecting us. Israel wants.........'none of the above! Look at this useless 'bunch of beggars with their wishlist. This btw is only their 'official version for EU/US consumption
12. A settlement free "Palestine" already exists
Yasser Aidsafat ,   Los Angeles, CA   (08.12.11)
It's called JORDAN
13. To #7: Mouses have been known to roar...
Zeev, Haifa   (08.12.11)
Y. Silverman of TA, is perhaps to young to recall YK of 1973, close to 40 yrs ago...
14. Settlement free state ! so go to Jordan .
Joseph.E ,   Givatayim-Israel   (08.12.11)
15. Are there "settlements" in Gaza...?
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (08.12.11)
16. I think dear Mr. Abbas needs to see a psychoanalyst.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (08.12.11)
17. And Israel should be empty of arab villages and cities?
Alterman ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (08.12.11)
Judenrein there, arabenrein here - is this the golden and peaceful vision of our enlightened leaders?
18. 9
zionist forever   (08.12.11)
I was speaking with my parents and apparently there was a speech by the local MP ( a Conservative ) a couple of weeks back at the local synagogue. In the question and answer session after they asked him about the idea of Abbas going to the UN in September and he said that he thinks thats the only way forward and he thinks David Cameron is generally supportive of the idea if the wording of the resolution is right. So it looks like the UK at least will be voting in favor. I suggest people like you write to your local MP and make yourself heard because the only language this government understands is how is this going to affect our chances of winning the next election.
19. Abbas thinks he can get it all:
LOL   (08.12.11)
what he actually says: "what is mine is mine, and what is yours is also mine"
20. No Arabs Inside Israel
Ron ,   oc,us   (08.12.11)
This is the only way I would support 1967 borders. At that there would be some minor adjustments for security reasons. Otherwise a population transfer of Jews west and Arabs east is in order.
21. Settlement Free
Joe ,   Israel   (08.12.11)
Settlement free means theoretically a Palestine without a Jew. Are Jews allowed to reside in Jordan or S. Arabia
22. Settlement Free is Palestinian for Judenrein!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (08.12.11)
And we all know that Judenrein the murder of six million Jews which the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Muhammed Amin al-Husseini, supported and encouraged! By saying this the Palestinian President has shown his true colors and has now shown the Jewish people that he is nothing but a "Neo Nazi". It is time that Peace Now!, B'Tzelem and the Jew hating Jews of this world realized that Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and their allies are all the same with the same aim: the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people.
23. settlement free palestine
yonatan silverman ,   tel aviv israel   (08.12.11)
and a jew free israel the arabs don't want even steven they don't want live and let live the arabs want the whole tomato for the arabs the tomato is a holy vegetable that allah gave ishmael when father ibrahim sacrificed ishmael - they lie like rugs
24. israelis and peace anywhere in the world
Palestinian   (08.12.11)
hagana, stern, irgun then converts from nowhere from all over the world come and want to live in our homes because balfore told them so and have peace at the same time. It must be the joke of the day
25. bleeeeeahhhh
Ester   (08.12.11)
26. yes abbas and my sister's name is mahmoud
Ester   (08.12.11)
27. PA "Judenrein"
Beni ,   Israel   (08.12.11)
If they truly want a state which is w/o settlmets they mean "judenrein" so let us ask for a muslim free country. Now who will be blamed as fashist? As far as i am concerned muslims live more free in israel than any in other muslim country.
28. New State Solution
Dan ,   Florida   (08.12.11)
They can have the ENTIRE East Bank and make Amman their Capitol. That is the "FAIR SOLUTION" and of course we all know that Abbas wants to be "fair".
29. So their minimum demand is...
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (08.12.11)
A war crime. Ethnic cleansing is a crime under international law and we all know that not one of the leftists or anti-Semites will call the unelected Abbas on his war crime because he has committed so many and they never say a word. Since he opened the door we too should demand as a condition for peace that the Arabs commit to the Jordanian-Israeli Peace Treaty and all Jordanians be deported back to their own country.
30. #10
Jane   (08.12.11)
Agreed. No Jews in "Palestine" and no Arabs in Israel. Time to finalize.
