31. shut up!
Sam M ,   Uk   (09.29.11)
For goodness cant that po faced woman shut up! It's none of her business! No one in Israel elected her!! Build more settlements and annex Judea and Samaria leaving palestinian cities to govern themselves!
32. So, tell us, Catherine
Devorah   (09.30.11)
How much influence does your husband's (David Kellner) polling company, YouGov, have on your personal decisions and the decisions of the EU?
33. #11. Appeasement leads to disaster.
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.30.11)
#11. Israeli appeasement leads to disaster. Every single major problem Israel has is the direct result of appeasement and retreat. Israel's last Gaza War as a direct result of Israel's retreat from Gaza. Israel's Last Lebanon War was a direct result of Israel's retreat from Lebanon. And on and on it goes. A weak Israel is not in America's interest. It is not in the interests of anyone except terrorists and genocidists. Judea and Samaria legally belong to Israel and Israel must claim them proudly and loudly.
34. #3. Reality: Europe is bankrupt & Palestine is fictional.
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.30.11)
#3 Marco. Here's a dose of reality. Europe is bankrupt. Germany is neither willing nor able to prop up Europe forever. As for Palestine; it is destined to be fictional forever. The latest empty P.A. proclamation will be the last nail in the coffin of fictional Palestine.
35. #2 split/schizo - Now I know what your
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (09.30.11)
problem, just another drunken anti-semite Scru u NO STATE NO WAY USA WILL VETO IN SPITE OF CRAP LIKE YOU
36. #11 ( I don't believe you're a Jew)
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (09.30.11)
Rather insignificant, they've haven't been able to stop the slaughter in Sudan, or to stop the Iranian's from performing their efforts to obtain a nuclear bomb A state of War still exists between North & South Korea China & Taiwan are still at each other's throats Where the inconsistency with Judaism, point is it out, with proper references, your say-so isn't good enough ?
37. Europe's Trojan Horse
Marcel ,   Florida   (09.30.11)
The people of Europe are the same as they were in the 30's and 40's ,still working hard on the latest final solution. This time the assault against the naive,gullible Jews headed for slaughter is under the Trojan Horse of peace.
38. @DR #29 "Appeasement in our time"
In full agreement   (09.30.11)
Your conflation of Ashton's mishandling of this matter with the actions of her most notorious predecessor is 100% correct; in fact it is a perfect analogy and certainly a well deserved award. I wish there were a way to make your acute analysis penetrate her ever-so-rarefied grey cells (if any) in that very very empty cavity right above her Harpy-like proboscis.
39. Simply FORGET these EU idiots, they are
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (09.30.11)
bankrupt in every sense...
40. What about the Kurds? Tibetans?
Steve   (09.30.11)
Is it possible massive Muslim immigration and all the unfortunate demographic / socio-political and economic changes it entails is Europe's fate for her historic Jew-hatred, until this day?
41. the present middle-eastern situation, 30-9-2011.
sjoerd ruurd van der ,   sjvdvelde@kpnmail.nl   (09.30.11)
in that case that is the least the european parliament is able to do.
42. UN committee already stated last week of "NO PRECONDITONS" !
mary of Bethany ,   singapore   (09.30.11)
insisting Gilo buildings should stop IS A PRECONDITION! the status of Gilo buildings (whether is Gilo a settlement should be decided on the "Talk Table". Not before the "TALK TABLE". Bibi has a record of removing settlements, (much to my disagreement though) why UN can't just wait for the Talk to decide which is settlement which not.) NO PRECONDITION MEANS NO PRECONDITIONS!
43. #7 Welsh self determination??
Robert ,   Australia   (09.30.11)
There is a very small minority of Welsh people who seek self determination. The vast majority are more than happy with the current arrangement. As to past "Offers" by Israel to grant Palestinians a state, they were no more than opening gambits, "offers" that had no substance. Israel is as guilty as the Palestinians for the "seven decades" of violence.
44. Muslims demand full autonomy in EU too. Will EU grant it?
Edward ,   Sydney   (09.30.11)
45. Statehood, at this stage, of course, contradicts both League
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (09.30.11)
of Nations resolutions that legally can't be changed by the the United Nations; and, UN Security Council Resolution, 242, that expects the "warring parties" to resolve the conflict and be separated by drawing a "secure and recognized boundary" between them. Statehood, at this stage, also violates grossly the bilateral agreement between the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), now seeking statehood, and the nation-state of the Jewish people, Israel. But, why care about such minor matters as resolutions of the League of Nations, United Nations and bilateral signed agreements. After all, Europe has singled out Jews for centuries and managed to slaughter this people's sons and daughters in the thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands and then in the millions. These violations are minor by comparison, so why expect Europe to respect them...??!!
46. EU
DOV ,   USA   (09.30.11)
I didn't know that the EU were global rulers. Using the green line as a starting point to reclaim land is not realistic.
47. Not One Prerequesite
Dallas ,   Canada   (09.30.11)
In 18 years since Oslo, the PA has not satisfied one prerequisite to deserve statehood. It would be better that the "Palestinians" be allowed to claim part of the EU's territory - they could better get to know who they are supporting, up close, and leave Israel to be Israel.
48. EU needs to go further & endorse Palestine in the UN
christianpalestinian ,   washington   (09.30.11)
Actions speak louder than words. Negotiations are important, but that path alone is not enough. The UN must also be involved, just as they were involved in the creation of Israel in 1948.
49. Give them land... in Egypt or Jordan.
Jeff ,   USA   (09.30.11)
50. Come Lord Jesus come quickly.
Moragh   (09.30.11)
Keep your promise and save your beloved people, the Jews. You gave the Jews Israel. You made them prosperous. Are you now going to allow the muslims to steal your beautiful land, and kill your beloved people?
51. GB
Moragh   (09.30.11)
Britain and all her co-horts is in for one helluva shock. Well England, you too can kiss your country goodbye! No tears Katie Ashton, you asked for it doll, and you got it!
52. #40 To answer your question in one word...
Moragh   (09.30.11)
YES!
53. Chris, Yesss!!!
Gábor Fränkl   (09.30.11)
LOL!
54. It's the same thing Bibi said at the UN
Vered, Israel   (09.30.11)
They have a right to a state, but it must be arrived at via negotiations with us, and Israel has a right to safety. The ball is still in the Palis' court.
55. 19
Birdi ,   Israel   (09.30.11)
''we'' you are not part of us, no matter how much you try to be, you will never succeed, you imposter ( to Israel)
56. palestine - not yet if ever
noel nesor ,   Israel   (09.30.11)
Deserve a State but under well defined terms such as recognising other States right to exist,having minimal acceptable level of freedom,democracy, civil and human rights. The PALS fail in all these categories and until they get their act together they cannot be a State. BTW- Gaza and Ramallah should be TWO States as they don't accept each other so what is Palestine?
57. only jewish fools would accept another european swindle
bernard ross ,   st anns bay, jamaica   (09.30.11)
These eurocrooks swindled the jews out of their land and are still at it. They easily forge their crooked and shameless ignoring of the treaty of san remo and the league of nations mandate. The europeans are the cause of all the jews troubles starting with the exile from the land of Israel. These dirty swindlers should be run from israel back to their crooked lands. It is the jews fault and their stupid leadership which allows these scandals to happen and does not educated the jews of these thefts. Jews dont even know their own rights and history, they leave that up to the crooks.
58. Catherine your ponem is making me sick
Johnny Bequick   (09.30.11)
Please put a coupla grocery bags over your head prior to going out in public.
59.  50
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (09.30.11)
I think that you should educate your self by reading the Torah.You probably mean well but you are ignorant whose land Israel is.
60. No more "peace talks" with Netanyahu's government.
Salma ,   Palestine   (09.30.11)
Palestine state should be achieved via UN or via Armed resistance . we have no 3rd choice.
