Actually you are the one twisting the truth. The 2002 plan included full right of return for all "Palestinians" - and did not define who these are - would have negated esixting UN resolutions, and as usual set forth without Israeli input. Why will people like you not accept Jordan as Palestine? Or that there is no Palestinian culture? It is a fabrication.

olmert, secure in his title as the most corrupt and the most inept Israeli PM, continues to act exclusively out of what he calculates to be his self-interest. the interests of Israel and the Jewish people mean nothing to olmert. he is a sick, pathetic, fool who has found that, by taking positions congenial to Israel's enemies, he can draw an appreciative audience.

No Palestinian culture...funny don't say that loud you will sound stupid. Correct me if I m wrong, but wasn't Samsum fighting the Palestinians in "Samsum & Dalila". And wasn't the giant Goliath a Palestinian, the one the boy David defeated. You see Palestinians have been around since then, sure they changed religion, mingled with Arabs, and European crusaders, and their culture evolved. But they are still Palestinians.

1) King David Hotel was the British Military Headquarters for Palestne 2) Occupants, soldiers & civilians, had received several advanced warnings telling them to get out, advising them that the Hotel was about to be bombed, which they ignored Abbas is responsible for the Munich Massacre, where no warnings of any sort were given to those that were about to be slaughtered

I spoke the truth, you're spouting nonsense Saudi "Peace Plan" had stipulations that would have meant the end of Israel as a Jewish State, since the Saudi's demanded that it be agreed to in advance, without any ability by Israel to amend, alter or delete any part of the plan, it was take it or leave without any discussion being allowed Your "1967 borders" were in fact the old Rhodes Armistice lines of 1949, which the Arabs ignored each & every time they attacked Israel, 1956, 1967 & 1973 Abbas copied the Saudi plan, by demanding that Israel agree to his terms, in advance of any sit-down to talk Arabs already have their much desired two states, Israel & Jordan, which by the way was 77% of the Jewish Land the Brits stole and gave to Emir Abdullah of Arabia, of all places Concerning the Golan, have you ever been there to see it? The Syrians repeatedly used it to attack Israel in each and every war the Arabs had started Win some, lose some, that’s what war is all about

Extremist ignoramuses such as yourself presume that since I have a UK address I must be a spokesperson for UK policies, past present and future. This is no more true than saying that your foolishness is typical of the US. In my view, Britain has much to be ashamed of in the way it dealt with the Jewish population of Palestine at that time and its attitude towards Jewish immigration. However, it is a malign morality which justifies appalling acts, especially as there were Jewish victims of the King David bombing. Were they simply 'collateral damage'? Or were they martyrs to the cause? Of course, you can blame the colonial power for provoking the act. On the other hand, the bombing was a conscious, well-planned action for which the perpetrators must surely take responsibility. I am Jewish. It doesn't exempt me from criticism of my bad behaviour any more than being Arab - or American - exempts them. Your slur of 'British Jew hatred' says more about you than the object of your own hatred.
70. Olmert -- yuck
RCCA ,   CA, USA   (11.30.12)
He's the Israeli version of the US President Jimmy Carter -- an idiot. Does anyone really think the Palestinians are going to make peace with Israel and break from the rest of the Islamist Arab world who are calling for the destruction of Israel? Think this conflict is about the 2 state solution? This is about fundamentalist Islam and its stated goal: the destruction of the Jewish state; that was the point in 1948 and that is the point in 2012. Stay on message.
71. #68.Ben:What are you talking about?
Tom W ,   USA   (11.30.12)
The US did not make a "State" neither of Cuba, nor Puerto Rico. But the U.S. swallowed up Hawaii and the So. West. Many other involvement in the past were part of the Cold War chess game: the Soviets did this, the U.S. responded by doing that, or vice versa.

The U.S. invaded Cuba & Puerto Rico is now a U.S. Commonwealth, without the benefit of being a State..
