31. ban, un, abbas, pals, eu, uk usa killed peace.
RALPH   (12.03.12)
32. Israel
Michael Miles ,   Victoria BC Canada   (12.03.12)
That was 2000 years ago. This whole bit with Israeli dominance must stop. Is placing the entire world in danger of nuclear extinction worth Israel so called right to exist. If they themselves respected the rule of law then maybe there would be peace on this earth. If the eye offends thee then pluck it out. Israel has placed our lives in danger. If it chooses to continue then Israel and the rest of the world will be destroyed. WHY ON EARTH WOULD WE ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN
33. Settlements are not illegal
Michael ,   Kokhav Ya'ir, Israel   (12.03.12)
The Oslo agreements gave us specific power over E1. We can do anything we want with it according to what the Arabs agreed to.
34. One and only one solution...
Marco ,   Spain   (12.03.12)
A permanent war of attrition Hezbollah and Hamas style that would bring Israel to its knees...
35. to #17
J ,   Vancouver, Canada   (12.03.12)
Don't worry Sarah, Gregg is like all the other dumba$$ pro-pals (aka anti semitic/anti Zionist types who basically make unqualified statements without actually using fact. Oh wait, if facts were used, then there wouldn't even be room for unqualified statements :)
36. Proof Israel has no plans for peace
Matt ,   Adelaide, South Aust   (12.03.12)
This is yet more proof that the Israeli government have no interest in peace ever. I understand this is complicated issue but if the Israeli government were serious about peace, they wouldn't punish the civilians this way or proceed with the universally condemned plans for further settlements being built on stolen land.
37. To Number 6
Mark ,   Toronto Canada   (12.03.12)
Don't cast all the Christian followers in the same fear boat as Ban. The US tried to round up supporters and failed to vote against Palestine's status. Canada has many more Muslims than Jews and our Government is the most vocal on earth supporting Israel. PM Stephen Harper and john Baird both claim to be Christians and have made their number one foreign policy policy to be loud and supportive of Israel.
38. BLOW
colin ,     (12.03.12)
There will never be peace in Israel the arabs want what is not thiers.
39. 25 - That is us !! ,...
split ,   US   (12.03.12)
Another one loyally chalenged, this one from downunder ,...
40. The palis dont honor the oslo accord,
Brett ,   JHB RSA   (12.03.12)
but Israel is dealing the fatal blow. When will something the palastainins do be fatal. They dont speak to each other, they split their own camp down the middle, they fire rockets at us etc etc... No matter what they do they are never wrong and whatever we do is wrong. Atleast we are strong where they are weak. WE WILL SURVIVE NO MATTER WHAT!!
41. The UN has been a blow to peace for years.
David ,   Hartford USA   (12.03.12)
Never uttering so much as a peep when Arab terrorists break into a house and butcher an entire family. Or when Arab terrorists break into a yeshiva and slaughter young boys studying. Or when Arab terrorists lob thousands of rockets into Israel hoping to kill and maim whoever they can get 'lucky' with. Or when Arab terrorists blow up a passenger bus. Yes, I would definitely agree that the UN has been a blow to peace because they have never done a thing to call the Arabs to task for their actions. ban Ki-moon, you are an accessory to the failure of the peace process. Before blaming Israel, look at what you HAVEN'T done all these years. Shame on you.
42. you are really only living in pokemon land
Black&blue ,   NY & United States   (12.03.12)
you are right, Israel may annex the west bank. but nobody slam any door and nobody leaving anywhere , they are still there, and if there is not two state solution then you can have one state solution with Palestinians make 80% of the population in the future. I really conclude only one thing from your magical words is that you really have an anger problem!
43. This land is ours. End fraudulent "peace talks" NOW!
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.03.12)
This tiny land is ours. We are not going to give the "Palestinian" poseurs a single grain of our sand. End the fraudulent "peace talks with Palestinians" NOW! They have no business on our land and they must go.
44. Settlements Will Belong To Palestine
World Citizen ,   the world   (12.03.12)
So build them well. The Jewish settlers will become citizens of Palestine or they will move back to Europe, Russia, or America or the Israel of the 1947 UN partition. And BTW #26. The Solomon and David stories are myths. David didn't establish any city. The Canaanites did. The Jewish sky daddy Yahweh is a myth too. No real god could be that insecure and barbaric.
45. #1 Sarah Bul
Harold ,   USA   (12.03.12)
You are just dreaming a bad dream. No one can be against 138 countries who voted against occupation and apartheid.
46. #3
Harold ,   USA   (12.03.12)
Netanyahu is the one who hates peace and the two states solution as well as the one state solution. Netanyahu is the one who was against the Oslo agreements and that was the main reason for assassinating Rabin. Just imagin what happens if the 138 and some of the 41 countires stop trading and dealing with Israel.
47. Fatal Blow to Peace
ltrail ,   United States   (12.03.12)
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is in bed with the Muslims. The real fatal blow to peace is the denial by arabs, that the State of Israel exists and will always exist.
48. Typical
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (12.03.12)
The Arabs have violated every single provision of every treaty that they have ever signed, starting on the day that sign them. But that doesn't seem to matter. No Jews building homes on their own lands ends any chance for peace. How myopic can one person be?
49. Islamic nations most ridiculous
USA   (12.03.12)
22 Arab states and 1 genocidal Iranian one on over 9939% of Middle East land and all that oil...solve your Pali Arab problem! Leave the teeny tiny nation of Jewish people alone in peace already!!
50. UN - a collection of mostly FAILED states
USA   (12.03.12)
UN - a collection of mostly FAILED states, not to be taken seriously. The majority can be bought by money and that says a lot.
51. #22
sbiu   (12.03.12)
Yeah, so what are you doing in the States ??? You like it all, don't you ?? here and there. Want the cake and eat it. Get the hell out of Manhattan
52. #24 and #2 is the same person
..   (12.03.12)
53. so they succeed
michel ,   Ashkelon   (12.03.12)
The main aim of the palestinians and perhaps of the UN is to torpedo the possibility of a real peace so they can receive always billions without justify the use .That is the reason they make the move so they "succeeded".
54. Let us hope so!
tom ,   tel aviv   (12.03.12)
55. I say build and build.....Ill tell u why.........
Alan ,   SA   (12.03.12)
Nothing that Israel says, does or agrees to gets it closer to a final "peace" If Israel shows any fear of this UNGA Resolution... then more resolutions of every possible demand will come. A time will come when resolutions will be passed calling for the total liquidation of the State of Israel.There will be 170 Votes in favour...for sure.So what the H. There is NO shortage of votes for such a resolution ,now or anytime in t6he future Its a new phase in our struggle for our homeland...we have to get used to it (as the haters say) We must continue strengthening the Israeli infrastructure.We must stop being made to run like rabbits from their stinking rockets.... one or two rockets then send in the IAF to flatten a few civil infrastructure buildings I just saw in the past month or so a n increase in pressure on us in every way It will be tough but we must wait for them to call us when they have something to say.I DONT believe there will be peace EVER!
56. Gregg from Haifa
David ,   Haifa   (12.03.12)
Gregg can i help yo pack? what you say, think or actually your very existence is irrevevant to us. Go home to italy now.
57. Where is the Palistinian State?
Victor ,   Klaks. Faroe Islands   (12.03.12)
I can not see it on the map, only have heard about it on the so kalled "road map". Praise God that "Oslo" is dead, and all the other imaginary maps. All of Israel belongs to the Jews. Annex Judea and Samaria, and beuild everywhere. Hope not that the government will back down. Praying for them, that they will be steadfast. God bless Israel, Jerusalem and all decendant of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Shalom.
58. U R right; that is a fatal blow to piece
Tambour ,   Eilat   (12.03.12)
Only fatal blow to Peace is the agenda to destroy the State of Israel, and the jews Gaza rockets, a rearmed Hezballah are no blow to peace Time to disband the UN
59. Sarah doesn't think so
Miche Norman ,   Hod Hasharon   (12.03.12)
The problem of course is that /sarah just does not think period. This two finger salute to the international community and especially to everyine who supported us last week is a gift to the Munich man. Perhaps our government could announce that one day a week they will engage their brains before opening their mouths - it would be a good start
60. idiot Ban must learn to read prior agreements
bernard ross   (12.03.12)
Oslo is dead, land for peace is therefore dead. Jewish settlement is internationally guarantedd in UN charter west of jordan river. Ban must learn to read before idiot foot in mouth
