61. #23- I know!
A ,   Belgium   (08.09.12)
Simple, they aren't Israeli citizens. In fact, many if not most hold Jordanian passports. But NONE have a "palestinian" passport. Can't have a passport for a country that doesn't, and never did, exist.
62. If they want to stay....let them!
tiki ,   belgium   (08.09.12)
Just build the training zone around them. Like that it's a more realistic traing ground and everybody gets what it asked for. Pallies not evicted, EU happy & Israel a training zone with the target at hand. A win win situation!
63. 23. Because they are a bunch of murderers
Jerome ,   AKL   (08.09.12)
Murderers you keep locked behind bars or behind a wall. The wall and the checkpoints reduced the suicide bombings rate and the killing of innocents by 99%. What about the Israeli killing? I remind you that in the USA they excecute murderers too.
64. UK arrests Basque freedom fighter...
nadav ,   tlv   (08.09.12)
WHy do the French, Spanish and their Euro allies not give the Basque people independence in their ancestral homeland, which is illegally occupied!? hypocrites! Samaria and Judea is Jewish land- arabs can go live in their British created country, Jordan!

I don't really care where they go. That would be their problem. That said, I note for the record that there are twenty-one or so Arab countries who can take in their brother Arabs. Much the way Israel took in nearly one million Jews who were expelled from their homes in Arab and Moslem lands following Israel's victory in the War of Independence. Almost all were forced to leave with little more than the clothes on their backs. The Jewish state made a home for them. But the ersatz "Palestinians" must not make very good guests, because they have been kicked out of Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, Kuwait, Oman, Muscat and Abu Dhabi. There are consequences to losing six wars (all six started by the Arabs) and to engaging in seven decades of unremitting terror. By the way, I was born in New York. My entire family holds dual citizenship. I happen to be the child of Jewish concentration camp survivors -- refugees, both. Neither ever engaged in terrorism. Your point, if you had one?

Israel has never denied the Armenian genocide. What are you babbling about?
67. brother arabs?
jessica ,   USA   (08.09.12)
do you hear yourself? are you saying the people living in these villages in hebron (and what are you accusing them of?) can be expected to relocate to any one of the arab countries and that's a substitute for their home? like a saudi could move to morocco, and a tunisian could move to kuwait? do you know how different these countries are? tell me how much i need to be falsely accused of before canada starts to look like home...you couldn't pay me to move there. no offense canada...

Ethnic cleansing is illegal under International Law Personally It would the happiest day of my life if Netanyahu met Mladic and Karadic at The Hague on war crimes charges. Won't happen though, peeps would start whinging about the Holocaust
69. To: No. 68
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.09.12)
Repatriating undesirable aliens is not illegal under any recognized international law. Particularly when those undesirable aliens happen to be terrorists and supporters of terrorism. But as long as you are whining (note proper spelling) about imaginary ethnic cleansing, I invite you to consider the plight of the nearly one million Jews who were ethnically cleansed from their homes in Moslem and Arab lands following Israel's spectacular victory in 1948? Or don't they matter under your extraordinarily myopic (not to mention anti-Semitic) interpretation of international law? The Arabs -- and that includes the ersatz "Palestinians" -- could have had peace at any time. They chose war and terrorism. They have, all along, been the authors of their circumstance. The fact that you are trying to fault Israel, however, speaks volumes about you. And it doesn't say much of anything good.

I Love Fanatics ,   Ohio, USA   (08.09.12)
Sarah B You used the phrase ‘Eminent Domain’ which is wrong. ‘Eminent Domain’ means that the owner is justly compensated for the loss of property. The word you’re looking for is ‘Expropriation’. ‘Expropriation’ means that the property is taken without compensation and is often taken with the intent of redistribution. “Expropriation” is much better word to use here.
71. #7 World - It's obvious you're ranting
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (08.09.12)
Moo Slimes are the foremost practictioners of Apartheid, read & hoepfully learn “MUSLIM DHIMMITUDE” IS “APARTHEID & RACISM” For well over a millennium, across three continents - Asia, Africa,and Europe - non-Muslims have experienced jihad war ideology For well over a millennium, across three continents - Asia, Africa, and Europe - non-Muslims have experienced jihad war ideology, and its ugly corollary institution, Dhimmitude. Today, the debate among Muslim scholars regarding the theological "correctness" of "lesser" versus "greater" jihad are meaningless to the millions of non-Muslim victims- Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, Hindus, and Buddhists

Woujld it be O.K. with you If I bulit a house on your property, that is exactly what they arabs did, bulding on our propeerty, without botherin to get a deed or title to where they wanted to build There isn't a solitary mention of either Jerusalem of Palestine in their Quran
73. 60 - There's more genosides ,...

Holodomor for instance where a whole group of people was chosen to be wiped out by artiificially created famine, guess by whom ? ,...
74. # 7 ? Weird citizen.... Spell check 'civilised to civilized
Big bad Jew ,   United States   (08.09.12)
what 'whole civilized world" are you talking about? Europe? who gladly gave up her Jews to Nazi Germany? ( for their property and wealth?) Or, to the allies who didn't give a shit when it came to rescuing Jews?? Or, the really 'civilized world' who now silently allows muslim on muslim deaths to mount as Syrians die and Russia, and Chinese politicians nudge their way into the ports there and make $$ selling them weapons that are massacring her people? What freaking 'civilized world"? You wouldn't know civility if it smacked you in the face..

ALICE SWEETHEART YOU FORGOT AS WELL AS PARTYING NOT PAYING THEIR PARKING FINES IN LONDON.
76. Palisestine and its occuppation
mohsen samii ,   braga portugal   (08.09.12)
Oh Jew you never Evan listened to the Prophets and not Evan to Moses and killed Prophets that were sent by God. You have illegally occupied the lands of the Palestinians and killed their innocents since the time you were given sanctuary through the Zionist controlled Western powers. Now the chicken is fast coming home to roost and the West is in decline as you are. If you, as you say a "Chosen" people then you would wish to leave this life for the life hereafter which you will not. The time is fast approaching that God will bring his anger upon the unjust, but again do any of you head the warning signs from the Mighty All. Stop creating mischief as this will backfire on you and can not you see the writing on the wall?. Study The Psalms of Solomon 5-16 and repent.
77. # 27 Alexander maybe we could
Big bad Jew ,   United States   (08.09.12)
build some nice fresh showers and ovens for the EU's visit?

The way you people keep mentioning the "shoa" over and over, reminds me of the expression "The shoa must go on!".

82. #8 Sderot & Ashkelon before May 1948
observer ,   Egypt   (08.09.12)
On 13 May 1948, Najd was occupied by the Negev Brigade as part of Operation Barak, before Israel was declared a state and before any Arab armies entered Palestine. The villagers were expelled and fled to Gaza. In 1951, the town of Sderot was built on the village's lands. According to UN Resolution 194 and also the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 13, Section 2, the villagers of Najd have a right to return home to their personal property and to their native village. Before the 1948 war, Ashkelon (Majdal) had been a commercial and administrative center with a population of 12,000. It also had religious importance: nearby, amid the ruins of ancient Ashkelon, stood Mash'had Nabi Hussein, an 11th-century structure where, according to tradition, the head of Hussein Bin Ali, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, was interred; his death in Karbala, Iraq, marked the onset of the rift between Shi'ites and Sunnis. Muslim pilgrims, both Shi'ite and Sunni, would visit the site. But after July 1950, there was nothing left for them to visit: that's when the Israel Defense Forces blew up Mash'had Nabi Hussein.
83. #76
Diane ,   USA   (08.09.12)
You are correct that God said the Jews killed their prophets, but you are wrong about the land belonging to Palestine- "Palestine" didn't even exist until around 130AD (going by memory) but in the bible that predates this, God said the land is Israel. Get back to the bible. You may want to read Ps 83, Isaiah 17, Ezekial 38&39. The writing is on the wall!
84. #76 US Decline
Diane ,   USA   (08.09.12)
We have a muslim, non- American president w/ muslims in many key governmental positions and are destroying our godly foundation embracing and promoting all kinds of ungodly laws. The president is unfriendly to Israel and because he does not bless Israel, God is removing our favor. Again, the writing is on the wall- for the whole world for that matter. Daniel and Revelation will soon be commencing-
85. #58 Jews moved?
Diane ,   USA   (08.09.12)
Actually, I think murdered would be more appropriate- 6 million at least. And then when the Jews were returning to Israel- write off the coast as they jumped ship to get on land they were opened fire upon by the Brits. So, this helps explain Brits demise. Once Obama gets reelected through any means the US will be further destroyed but Israel will go on- yes, also with great loss, but she will never again be removed from her land. How do I know? The Bible. God's love letter to mankind.
86. #29 Stealing????
ltrail ,   United States   (08.09.12)
Restoring land to its rightful owners, yes. Don't you wonder why the arab neighbors of Israel have always lost the wars against Israel, that they started? A goose egg for the arabs for each war. How many arab soldiers against how many Jews; amazing.
87. To #82
Diane ,   USA   (08.09.12)
History shows the land is God's- never to be sold - for his chosen people Israel -all the way from the Euphrates to the Nile river. Mohammed is a false prophet, visited by an angel that God said if even an angel of light appears with another gospel do not believe him. You see, Satan disguises himself as an angel of light- this is why he tells Muslims to hate the Christians and the Jews. Hopefully you know Islam is a result of an angel of light appearing..........too bad 'he' forgot to mention how important Jerusalem was to Islam- Now, if people would just read their bible their false beliefs and prejudices could be destroyed.
88. Settlers
John Baker ,   Toronto, Canada   (08.09.12)
Arab settlers are the obstacle to peace. Once the Arab occupation ends we will have peace. These Arab settlements and others must be closed down.
89. natives of the land
observer ,   Egypt   (08.09.12)
The native dwellers of Palestine were called “Palestinians” by Herodotes in 5th century BC, 2500 years before (modern) Israeli statehood; but Herodotes never heard of Jews, though he walked across the whole land. Jews appeared three hundred years later.
90. starting wars?
observer ,   Egypt   (08.09.12)
Arabs started only one war, in 1973 to restore their occupied land and were victorious then. The Jews won only one war, in 1967, because they perfidiously attacked without declaring the war.
