32. Palestinians want peace, but peace must be based on intl law
christianpalestinian ,   santa monica   (12.28.11)
Peace can only be acheived when israel abides by international law and withdraws its soldiers and settlers from all occupied Palestinian land. There is no deception.
33. What int. law, "christianpalestinian"?
Vlad   (12.28.11)
Under the 1920 League of Nations mandate for Palestine, Israel has legal title to what is now all of the West Bank and Jerusalem. This law supercedes all further UN decisions. Israel even had title to Jordan under this law, before it became a sovereign state. Israeli settlements are not prohibited. The Fourth Geneva Convention prohibits the forcible transfer of civilians into an occupied territory. It was designed to counter cases such as the Nazis deporting German Jews to camps in Poland, or Turkey forcing Anatolian peasants to settle in Northern Cyprus, not individuals moving in willingly. Under the 1920 Mandate, Israel has title to annex any land it sees fit. It has done so with east Jerusalem, so it is legally a part of Israel. Even if Israel gave the Palestinians all of the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem, the Palestinians would not give us peace. They would go on screaming for the "right of return" and the release of terrorists in prison, and use that as an excuse for more terrorism.

A la Hamas?
37. #33, you've been lied to
Ibrahim Ibn Yusuf ,   Rosario, Argentina   (12.29.11)
All you gotta do is read the Mandate. It says "the establishment in Palestine of a national home (not even a State) for the Jewish people." Nowhere does it say "in all of Palestine," or "in the whole of Palestine," and as you will understand if you have a minimal command of the English language, any national home of any size established within Palestine would be a "national home in Palestine." Also, your claim that Transjordan was also awarded to the Jews is yet another lie you've been told. The Transjordan memorandum, which was passed by the Council of the League of Nations on September 16, 1922, specifically excluded Transjordan from Jewish settlement.
38. Palis Not Aboriginal Inhabitants of Israel
Beth Goodtree ,   NYC, USA   (12.29.11)
To those who have been deceived by Pali propaganda, the truth is that there was no such thing as 'Palestinian' Arabs until the late 1960s. Yassar Arafat took a rabble of originally Trans-Jordanian refugees that Israel ALLOWED to settle on Israeli land as a humanitarian gesture because their own country rejected them, and RENAMED them 'Palestinian' in the hopes that eventually dupes like you would believe that they were the aboriginal inhabitants. Archaeological evidence proves that the Jewish people were in Israel thousands of years ago and have always maintained a Jewish presence there despite campaigns of genocide -- mostly by the Arabs -- as recently as the 20th century. (Check out Hebron massacre) Those of you who think the Jews 'stole' the Fakestinian lands should read some history and look at the archaeological evidence. Or look at what the Palis themselves say, such as what the Palestinian General Zuheir Mohsain said in a interview with Trouw magazine in 1977: ..."There is no such thing as the Palestinian people...we only say that to oppose the Jews..."
39. Isreal are always late to understand
Uzoozy ,   USA   (12.29.11)
All the people in Isr... should move to porkenstein and give the land back to the Palestinean people. At least there will be some peace in the world.
40. It is Itzak Rabin fault and the left
Ram ,   New York, US   (12.29.11)
PM Rabin brought this cancer into our neighborhood. WIthout the PA, Israel could have made peace with the palastinian people directly and help the build strong economy. You have no one to talk to when all they believe is death of their own or more so of a jew. They just jealous of the Jews and what they were able to accomplish. They just don't know that the source of it is in a better religious and cultur.
41. "Palestinians" don't even try to hide their genocidal intent
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.29.11)
Shaked is completely correct. It's incredible that any adult Israeli Jew, of normal intelligence, is still being fooled. Fictional Palestine has never existed. It is only a ruse to justify attacking and destroying Israel. None of the major "Palestinian" groups, such as Fatah, P.A., Hamas etc., even try to hide their genocidal intent. Their covenants, media, schools, public squares proudly, openly call for the destruction of Israel.
42. End the Osloism-END the BLUFF
NuritG ,   USA   (12.29.11)
Yochanan Visser, Sharon Shaked you could not have said this any better. The problem that the insane Israeli leadershit keeps on pursuing the LIE of peace with genocidal terrorists instead of coming right out and say: we had good intentions, we were deceived and were lied to and we no longer interested in negotiations with savages. If and when the Arabs – not Palestinians – END ALL of their lies, deception, jihad, ribat, incitement and claim to land that under no circumstances is theirs, and if and when they come to us, Israel and ask to have peace, then Israel will consider. Until then let them have their jihad and ribat and Israel will reply accordingly and if necessary will expel all the trouble makers to country where they can continue their trouble making if they can.!
43. PA to "negotiate" 67 border state and immediately after hand
Good Cop = Bad Cop ,   Israel/USA   (12.29.11)
"Palestinian" control over to Hamas to "finish the solution. Of course the well armed PA army will help. If they can't bamboozle a legal state fast enough to satisfy their egos and blood thirsty appetite.. they will give control to Hamas without signing a PIECE deal and let them lead the destruction. As you see, this is exactly what Abbas is doing right now.
44. A Jew free Palestine?
fritz ,   vatikan   (12.29.11)
And whats with the MUslim Settlers in Israel and the rest of the World? And which Palestinian Land do you mean?This from the Roman Empire?Perhaps you can be a part of Italy now.
45. #37. Debate MK Ayalon on Judea/Samaria ownership.
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.29.11)
#37 Ibrahim. I'm afraid you're the one who has been lied to. Jewish ownership of Judea and Samaria is an established legal fact acknowledged by countless international law scholars including Eugene Rostow, author of U.N. Resolution 242. As you may know, MK Danny Ayalon posted a youtube video on the basic facts about Jewish ownership of Judea and Samaria. Ayalon has challenged "Palestinian" leaders to a public debate on the issue. Nobody in the entire P.A. has the courage to debate Ayalon. Do you?
46. Ibrahim Ibn Yusuf #37 are the one that is lying
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (12.29.11)
Article 22 of the Covenent of the League of Nations CLEARLY and DISTINCTLY states that it's objective is to create NATIONAL STATES. You need to learn to read. And yes it does in fact state that the WHOLE of territory is ours and cannot be given to anybody else. It states it in those exact words and you are a liar. Nothing passed of the sort about Transjordan was EVER passed by the Council and you again are a liar.
47.  What int. law, "christianpalestinian"?
I. Simon Timothy ,   Madurai, India   (02.03.12)
Any person who can not see the truth in this comment, then they are blind or blinded by the lord of this world - see I Timothy 4:1 in the Bible. Real Truth
