The arabs keep saying they deserve another homeland because they never had one. How then can they demand the return of "historic palestine" when there never was an arab nation of that name? Here's another one: what were they before they were followers of Mohammed?

"What's good for the goose is good for the gander" - exactly: so let's start sending the Palestinians $8 million a day in military aid, and see how long the current stasis lasts. Maybe then Israel will come to the bargaining table.

apart with facts and hit him every which way with the long list of wrongs.

The Militant Palestinians do not want peace. Arabs and other non-Jewish inhabitants of Israel know better than to speak out because of the insanity. This silent majority knows the liberties they have in Israel would not be possible in a separate Palestinian state.

Amen, Ben Yisrael from Tel Aviv! Few people want to recognize the truth that the PALS homeland/State is Joradan and the PALS refused to overthrow its leader the tyrant oppressor Abdullah II. PALS are "squaters" and the occupiers, not Israelis. They cry oppression when they can leave Israel anytime! So leave!

On the one hand Abbas says he will not recognise a Jewish state and from the other Haniyeh says states are created by liberating land. Isn't this the perfect opportunity for Israel to cash in on this and declare "No to a Palesnian state and liberate the WB by expelling the Arabs in it to Jordan?" hey.... The land will be liberated....Israel can absorb it. Israel should thank these two clowns.

So what was Oslo about?

If there's no Jewish state, there will never ever be a Palestinian state. NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! My property is the ancestral lands of Judah FOREVER! FOREVER! FOREVER!

Let the U.S. and the West stop interfering in the middle east. Our meddling caused the current mess, when ZIonists under the shadow of British guns forcibly expelled the population in Palestine in order to create their state. Stop the $8 million per day military aid to Israel. Let the region work out its own peace. It's not worth the price of our blood and treasure to try to impose our vision of government on another part of the world. If they want Islamic theocracies, that's their right. You cannot hasten the modernization or enlightenment of a civilization - which is why Western policies in the middle east have always failed, and will continue to fail. Secular society had to grow organically, it cannot be transplanted. Iraq and Afghanistan will prove this irrevocably once we withdraw.

No Palestinian state request to UN until they recognize Israel. Simple logic.

I am an American Catholic who loves and respects the people of Israel and am ashamed of our president's treatment of Mr. Netanyahu and his efforts to reach a peaceful settlement. Please know that millions of Americans consider you one of our greatest allies and we've got your back!

#69 JustFollowing, your racist thinking is the problem, along with the same racist thinking from Palestinians. What your racism is going to get you, in the end, is a multinational occupying army under a U.N. mandate, that will enforce a joint Jewish/Palestinian territory in the middle east. The racist Bible stories that you use to justify your refusal to be reasonable are just that, stories, and are not going to come true, and will not save you from this fate - the fate of sharing land with other human beings in a reasonable fashion, instead of treating them like dogs.

Then, why would Netanyahu still willing to negotiate ? The cat is out of the bag. No negotiation possible from now on. Repatriate the Arabs to their ancestral lands. End of the Middle Est nightmare. Shalom.

one has to understand that there is a battle in the holy land , Good vs evil , it's all in the Thora ( circomcision of the flesh ) and the brit haddasha ( new alliance, circomcision of the spirit. NT )That's what it's all about in the Holy Bible From the begining " Jacob & his brother Esav. GOD has everything in perfect control . the Bible is composed of 3/4 of propheties ... after all at the end Jacob & Esav made Peace, so let's not freaking out of Mr Abbas having a fuss. he'll get his reward from his people by been hanged hight. For the lefties ..consider this " If the Arabs nations ( 250 times bigger than Israel) , tomorow will put their weapons down. there'll be peace & prosperity in the region ; but if tomorow Israel put down it's weapon. there will no more Israel ( raz v shalom)

There already is a pallestinian state it's called jordan.

The historical Biblical Palestine was Jewish when the name was first coined up by the Roman Empire. If the Arabs want another Arab nation give it ANOTHER NAME not Palestine!!! The world does not need another Arab nation -- there are already 22 Arab states vs 1 tiny Jewish nation. Let the so called "Palestinians" of today (100% Arabs) find solace in the other Arab countries. Before Arabs get ANOTHER nation, think about the Kurds and Tamils ... they are the ones who should have their own nation FIRST, unlike the Arabs who have 22 nations to fall back on!

Abbas is lucky that Israel doesn't throw him and the rest of his Arab brothers out of their country.

How about going back to Solomon and David's borders? The Jews were in "Israel" BEFORE the Arabs, so why don't the Arabs go back to THAT border? Since Abbas is refusing to recognize the State of Israel, he can't be taken seriously. He is a straw man for terrorists.....

You support the terrorists to the turn of over $1 billion a year, and we contribute another $1.6 billion. I bet that the figures are going to be going down by a lot very soon.

Nothing but lies in the Abbas speech. The Palestinians are the occupiers.

and Israel must accept the 1967 boundaries. The world is losing all sympathy with the behavior of Israel.

How can something that NEVER existed be reborn???

Scott repeats the arrogant line of racial or religious persecution. Sadly, just another terrorist in training.

pala wants one state solution without jews.

Why even legitimize these thugs by giving them a country? The only advantage to a PA state would be giving Israel a well-defined target.

Isn't that just what Hitler said? These guys are Hitler #2. When will we do to them what we did to Hitler, give them an allied rear end kicking and hang the criminals in their own backyards just like Nuremberg.

If the terrorists categorically reject a Jewish state, then there is nothing left to talk about. Israel should formally annex those parts of Judea and Samaria that are necessary for their security and end all formal diplomatic relations with the so-called PA. As the terrorists have now abandoned the process begun with Oslo, the US should also end any diplomatic contacts, and withdraw all aid. Let them turn to their fellow arabs for assistance.
