Ziad-Palestine ,   Canada   (12.03.12)

I hate to think what would happen to the. palestinians if you became president.
67. Just take a look at countries the UN has
Peggy ,   UK   (12.03.12)
sanctioned, countries that uphold terror, child slavery, human trafficking, merciless dictatorships etc etc etc... Maybe this is why they go on and on about Israel, hoping folks wont take note of those countires the UN never seem to complain about. What peace process, hey come on eveyrone knows they wont agree on any peace deal with israel, they want IT ALL, including Europe, UK and IRELAND! Sad actually about Ireland, so gree and all that Guinness.
68. Why should Jews want to settle in Eretz Yisrael?
PG ,   always Israel   (12.03.12)
In the years before the Balfour Declaration, a member of the House of Lords asked Chaim Weizmann, "Why do you Jews insist on Palestine when there are so many underdeveloped countries you could settle in more conveniently? Weizmann replied: "That is like my asking you why you drove 20 miles to visit your mother last Sunday when there are so many old ladies living on your street."
69. madness at the un
evron ,   uk   (12.03.12)

70. new state required
evron ,   uk   (12.03.12)
...for the babylonian people ....
71. Did he warn Abbas
Naftali ,   Modiin Israel   (12.03.12)
Where was he when Abbas was asking to become a State. He was supporting him this is going against previous agreements. They can do what ever they want without a word from the world., all Israel has to do is sneeze and they are attacked. Here is a little reality for you they will never get east Jerusalem, never. They want a State take Ramallah.
72. to #55
J ,   Vancouver, Canada   (12.03.12)
Yup, you are right. It does not matter what Israel does, it just doesn't. The World is filled with, and in reality, it is a human tragedy the lack of education that people receive and how many people feel the need to voice their opinions when they have no idea. Or, they do and are simple minded anti-semites. The Palestinians have done NOTHING for history to reward them with a state and I agree, they should just build build build. I couldn't count on my hands and toes the number of countries who have FAR WORST human rights records. Actually, maybe we should just move to moon and inhabit that, then the world will lose its true brains.
73. Piece by Peace by Piece by Peace
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (12.03.12)
What is the real motivation behind Bans statements? why all the fuss over building in the settlements, when Aras build with impunity? Doesnt the history of the region since 45 mean anthing..Roadmap, Oslo 1 and 2, Camp David, Annapolis, Madrid/, Mitchell Plan? Land for peace, reciprocity..alll down the drain now, with the vote. If so, why should Israel adhere to anything previously agreed to? What is happening is the Pales are forging sovereignty over the entire land to the 67 borders, w/o Israel's compliance..and any Israel mov e is condemned as thwarting peace and spitting in the face of the world. (Most countries abstained or voted no). 1948 ended all rights the Arabs had in Western Palestine. Jordan isthe real Estern Palestine, and still a homeland for the Jews, or have we forgotten the Balfour Declaration. Its the Arabs that have spit in the face, and then some. A bunch of liars..cring to the biggest liar of all, the UN. and making pacts with the real devil, Iran.
74. Israel is playing Checkers., Pales, Chess
Noah Lev ,   LosangelesUSA   (12.03.12)
This guy and the organization he is head of, are dysfunctinal, outlandish,totally ineffecient group of thugs and dictatorships, with a few free nations. Let him go to Syria and resolve that conflict first, straighten out the Egyptian and Libyan mess, not to mention nations in Africa and No. Korea. The patern is clear..Israel is a small, jewish state, surrounded by dozens of haters..who dont want Jews in their midst. Its that simple. Here in Los angeles, we have 80 cities, and many etnnic groups..livng sde by side or mingled..in genuine peace and cooperation. No rockets being fired for political reasons..an occasional protest, thats all. The Pales and Muslim worlds want Palestine Judenrein..form the Med to Iraq. They turned down a state and entity 22 times..but now are feeling their oats, with US tired of wars, and Iran iching for one. 3,000 units, while Aras build tens of thousands in cisputed territory. They are no ta people, have no rights,and lost whatever ownership of land they had in 48 and 67. when they attacked Israel. Israel should tell Ban poitely where to go, have army maneuvers involving strange lookng missiles with warheads that might just be nukes, biological or chem.=seal the borders if need be, and arrest any protestors..24 to life for crimes and death for terrorism.. That is how you deal with the genocidal Arabs.Ban clapped after the vote. knowing full well the implications. Like Syria, Israel should ignore anything coming foom the UN, and let it go the Legoe of Natins, simply worthless. Isael should annex area C...and surround A and B with tanks as a warning. The Pales and Arabs, including IZran, want peace, Israel, piece by piece beforehand. Get the UN out of the US and the US out of the UN. and stop funding it.
75. BAN, WHO START THE "PROVOCATIVE ACTION" FIRST?
mary_of_bethany ,   singapore   (12.03.12)
"refrain from provocative actions"? Mr Ban, who started the provocative actions first? the Pals! and who cowardly support the provocative action, allowing Abbas to have pre-conditions before talks,and granting them a non-member state bypass Israel. compared to Vatican, they are far from "left-support" and "centralized-united and stable self-ruled", Pals failed all the qualities of a "non-member states". you should expect Israel to react when you can't even wait till hamas willing to denounce their terrorism and accept Israel, or wait till fatah win over Gaza and kick out hamas. so, get lost, UN!
76. there should be NO HOPE for pals in East Jerusalem, Arieli!
mary_of_bethany ,   singapore   (12.03.12)
Mr Arietl is worried about E1 "kill any hope for a Palestinians territorial continuity in East Jerusalem?" Are you really a Jew, that you should even be thinking of what pals continuity in Jerusalem, this palestinians continuity should NOT BE STARTED in the first and it should be controlled now, to stop the breeding and flooding of arabs in E Jerusalem. worried about US not helping? the moment at Nov when US voted in obama, you all are left alone as orphan already to fence for yourselves. Do what is right in your own eyes as the best for Israel, the sun is settting on the West.
77. Jews lost their sanity in israel
Butros ,   London, england   (12.03.12)
Time for a major immunisation programme for Israel, This will make Israelis human again. A double dosage required for settlers judging by the rabble on this post.
78. To Graczek 15
Markos Kidane ,   Prague   (12.03.12)
Beside your terrorist friends who you are in love with (who would kill you in a heart beat though now you and your kind are useful idiots for them), you are the most anti-peace, and anti-God person on this planet. It seem to me that you are willingly ignorant of the truth but one day...for all of eternity..you will pay DEARLY for defying not only Israel...but the True God, all the while pretending to be a Christian. Repent or perish.
79. 40000+ syrians slaughtered, the world remains silent. SHAME
Brett ,   JHB RSA   (12.03.12)
on you people who chastise Israel and allow massacres all over the world to continue without saying a thing. It is no wonder Israel ignores the hypocrats you have become!!
80. Go back to doing it...
ej ,   nyc   (12.03.12)
gangnam style! Ban is a loser who did nothing to stop the murder of Israeli citizens at the hands of Hamas. The UN aides and abets terrorists, totalitarian dictatorships. Ban Ban and the UN!
81. #32 ichael iles
Moragh   (12.03.12)
IDIOT!
82. "to kill any hope......
tiki ,   belgium   (12.03.12)
for a Pal territorial continuity in Jerusalem". In the Jewish books E-Jerusalem is part of Jerusalem, like S/N/W Jerusalem. That, Mr. Arieli & Mr. Moon, is 'precisely the goal, and it's about time! If Mr. Moon & his EU croonies think that 'upgrading a group of terrorists into a PEOPLE and giving them parts of the ancient Jewish homelands is 'killing a already dead 'Peace Proces, they are mistaken. Those who never wanted a Peace proces at all were the Arab palestinians, they wanted and still want all the Jewish lands without the Jews!
83. Settlement
Jason Alster ,   Wethersfield , USA   (12.03.12)
The settlements are not illegal. I do not know why they keep saying this. Israel waited since 1967 to settle this area , now there is confusion because Israel made a deal with the devil and there is hell to pay. The truth is the Palestinians out smarted the Israelis by not negotiating with Israel and Israel should have built on these areas a long time ago without accepting a two state solution. There is the UN resolution that says " Land for Peace " not a two state solution. Israel is now absorbing the Land for a Peace of Mind.
84. Ban.
JC1255 ,   Israel   (12.03.12)
When will this ineffective, reactive, non-leader go away? He praises the "Palestinian" bid for statehood which is going to cause more problems for the peace effort and the "Palestinian" people than we can even imagine and condems a planning effort within the limitations of the Oslo Accords on Israels part to address the concerns raised by the NGO's that report to him regarding housing impacts on human rights. This man is no leader of the free world! He is an ignorant politician whose only goal is to protect his record. He is failing miserably on all fronts. Retire you old fool!
85. There is only UN+West sucking up to Palestinians
Sam ,   Canada   (12.03.12)
There is no peace process only the UN and the West sucking up to the Palestinians on Israel's back in the hope of sparing themselves from Muslim terrorism. They know it but they play the charade anyways. Israel has to take care of itself.
86. New Settlements
Elliott Alhadeff ,   Sammamish   (12.03.12)
An excellent exercise of defiant diplomacy - FINALLY! Obama will have to contend with a defiant American public and Congress if he fails to support Israel. For the first time - Palestinians and their anti-Semitic friends are discovering there are consequences for their defiance. Given the state of defiance of the international community against Israel's justifiable existence, its herculean efforts to peace and its history of compassion and humanitarian aid - Israel has little, if anything to lose and can begin to add up its gains.
87. Sky Fairy and myth
SD Charger ,   San Diego   (12.03.12)
If you can't see what is happening in Israel TODAY, that was foretold 2000 years ago, and now coming to pass, then how do YOU explain how millions of Jews are returning to Israel from being scattered abroad this earth? From each and every corner, they are returning to their HOME, Jerusalem. How else do you explain how they were scattered abroad and are now returning home? How do you explain Israel becoming a nation again? You can't!
88. Marco 34
JUDAH THE LION ,   JEWS FIGHT LIKE LION   (12.03.12)
No one can bring the Great Israel to her knees. Your country is already to her knees and much more to come
89. Bibi's real manifesto
Taxpayer ,   Hod Hasharon   (12.03.12)
If Bibi were honest his election manifesto would be things aren't so bad - which us true now and he will even teach us how good things are - by comparison. Three more years of the Likud's attempts to destroy Israel and we will look back on where we are now with nostalgia - as unemployment hits 50%, pensions are wiped out, the sanctions dig deep and we cannot afford equipment for the IDF - The number of people who write in here saying screw the world without realizing that we need the world more than the world needs us is frightening. The Likud does not own nationalism - or patriotism - and we are running out of time to save the country from them - the urgent need is not the economy, it is not health it is not education any more - it is simply save the country from the right wing that has lost all control in its bequest to destroy our country.
