All your listed demands, if given writ in blood on parchment are not worth a fig Arabs do not have a concept of keeping a promise

Usurping the Land of Israel is not peace. It is usurping Israel by way of deception. Their 67 trash is just pure trash. Why should Israel give away its liberated Historic and Biblical Homeland that is GOD-GIVEN and GOD-RESTORED? Israel can tell them to jump into their 67 cesspool of deception and trash. Israel must defend its homeland no matter what the world says.

him to talk to Jabari live.

Btw, Our Sarah's at post 37

Jerusalem must remain one united city and it is impossible for millions of grandchildren and great grandchildren of refugees to move into Israel. Why would Israel dismantle its security barrier? Israel could soon find Iranian rockets in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. The 1948 borders were rightly called by Abba Eban, the 'Auschwitz borders', leaving the State of israel about ten miles wide at its narrowest point. Mashaal knows Israel can never accept his demands, so there's not a lot of point in negotiations.

Dr. D. An excellent post indeed!! This period of 1948 - 1967 is certainly, a convenient and forgotten period of time lost in the Arab, if not the entire World's, narrative on the region.

the hell is Mashaal? How can he claim something if no one recognizes him. For millions of people in Israel and out of it, Mashaal is only a rotten terrorist who has no right to claim squat. Let him claim, declare, shout squeal and grunt as much as he wants to. So, all the cynical and Jew-hating bloggers, don't hold your breath !

Freedom for Scotland and piss off out of Ireland!! Your England has bloody hands, so best you shut the F up! God bless Israel and the Israeli people. You have shown your humanity while up against a vicious people.

Gaza is in such a bad state that they couldn't fire another bomb if they tried. As for Mashaal...... forget him, he's just another dreamer and believer in his own nightm

First and before any negotiation to begin, ISRAEL will insist first all the Muslims/Arab/Islamic countries must recognize ISRAEL IS JEWISH STATE FOREVER, Jerusalem is the capital city of Israel for ever, as Mecca the capital city of Islam, and Rome the capital city of the Christians, No return of refugees. These are the most important conditions. Also will be other conditions.

I am willing to accept Peace with Israel, as long as we get all our demands, and Israel accepts a position of subservience to the surrounding Islamic majority in the Middle East. This includes the right to swarm Israel with Muslims, much like the successful strategy currently in effect in Europe. If the future does not include, in potential, the ability to overwhelm and dominate the Jewish population, then we must reject it outright.

Hamas leader gives conditions for peace which he well knows Israel cannot agree to. He then says don't ask him his position on and Israeli state until after the Palestinians have a separate state with Jerusalem as its capital. This guy would fit right in the Washington D.C. crowd, because he does a beltway two-step dance better than any American politician. The only thing more surprising is that people in the west buy this drivel as sincerity. BAH! LOL if it weren't so pathetic.

Don't believe him a single word he says

OK that actually sounds good...BUT does Jordan want you Palies back....does Egypt want you Palies back, because if I am not mistaken before '67 the West Bank was Jordan, Gaza was Egypt! Israel please do it, we can be rid of them once and for all...and all you settlers, plenty of room in the Galilee and Negev, all Eretz Israel!

with violence (Scottish, Irish, Zulus, Hindus, Aborigines,N.America, Falklands,etc.), I would say "negatively ambitious and aggressively violent" are perfect descriptions of the English. Except that in the end, the British usually either got their asses kicked or retreated under the cover of darkness (or waited for the Americans to help them out), which is part of the reason that the middle east is a mess today. So don't be TOO critical of others, mate, before you take a good look at yourself and your own sad history.

And you are a perfect description of a Jew hater. The British suck anti-semitism through their mother's milk so no surprises there mate,

you are not me

You always want the other guy to have the obligation to respond...

I am getting the impression, that nobody so far told Mashal, that he is not the person to express his opinion and wishes for negotiations with Israel. I firmly believe, that the time, when the stateless Arabs could hope for a bigger share of Yehuda and Shomron is over. They gambled for too long!

That's how it's done! That's how you play the world & media! You make a big announcement with all the grandeur, but without the hineous details so Israel will be blamed as the unwilling partner! You sound generous by stating that you're willing to give up the larger part of '''historic Palestine''' but it's those stubborn Israeli's who are the disturbing factor. Just wait and you will see that the Q&A from the international media about this 'generous offer is about to begin, for they are only interested in in the story, not the truth or the facts! As long as lies are being sold as the truth to dumb clients, this Palestinian soap will not end!

Dear Mr. terrorist organization leader Mashaal! So you have not yet noticed that we are now living in 2012 - and not 1967? And Jerusalem - no way, it belogs to Israel!

Do not negotiate with the Devil - that peace will not last! These islamists have their temporary peace - which they can easily renege. Arabs who are not Israelis and even Arab-Israelis, who are not loyal, should move elsewhere to live. Arabs have so many countries to choose from!

What makes him think he's getting anything? Dementia?

to recognize the right of Israel to exist...and sue for Real peace .... NOT HUDNA .... MY GUESS - you won't go there ...

Since their will be no Jews in the Palestinian State and 20% of Israel is Arab it doesn't fully compute.Also 60% of Israel is desert and Gaza ought extend Futher North with Arab Oil Profit Help to Egypt .
