31. The land belongs to the Jewish people
Julie ,   Australia   (12.09.12)
According to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob the land (and MUCH more than just the Gaza strip} belongs to the Israelis. Genesis 15:18 That day Adonai make a covenant with Avram, "I have given this land to your decendants-from the Vadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates River...." THAT SETTLES IT- OKAY!!!
32. #31 Relying on myths to settle....
Robert ,   Australia   (12.09.12)
.....land disputes is ill-advised.
33. Should Have Finished Them
Moshe ,   Givataim   (12.09.12)
I don't understand why we are surprised by Hamas. They are a terror organization, and we should have smashed and finished 3 weeks ago. There will never be peace with these bastards, until the last one of them is gone, therefore vote with me: FREE the WORLD from the HAMAS
34. A real chance to make up lost ground
StevieT ,   USA   (12.09.12)
Mashaal handed Israel an unexpected Hannakah present when went raw by exposing all of his real intentions. It wasn't pretty, in fact, it was pretty chilling. How many innocents would be slaughtered in reaching his goals? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? His was a speech like few others in the annals of history, it was a roadmap for the forceful destruction of a free country and the death and displacement of its people. What bothered me the most about it was that his vile words didn't appear in the majority of Western news outlets. NY Times had it, The Guardian had it, but CNN, CBS, USA Today and their ilk decided to edit them out, or pass them by (and they call themselves journalists). Now, after several years of truly abominable public relations and diplomacy on the part of Israel, This gift from Mashall should be calmly but firmly pushed to the front of the "war of words" and kept there (played again and again) until any thinking person in the world knows exactly what the bottom line is.
35. Mashaal's great contribution
Anadelfos ,   Athens Greece   (12.09.12)
Mashaal offered Israel a great contribution, as he informed the whole world about his intentions regarding the future of Jewish state.From now on, nobody can say "I didn't know,I couldn't figure it out". You must now start, a worldwide public relations campaign, so that most peoples will understand who is responsible for the long time stalemate.
36. Peres is delusional as well
nadav ,   tlv   (12.09.12)
to claim Abbas is a "partner for space!" Abbas is pro-terrorism, a Holocaust denier, and regularly incites these ersatz "palestinians" to hate Jews, Americans, and the West! to hell with him and Hamas!
37. #23 Giora Me'ir
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (12.09.12)
While I do agree with you in general, I also remember when the moderates gathered in Camp David under President Clinton's term in 2000. Arabs rejected that offer.
38. finally
Rafael Medina ,   Belen, NM USA   (12.09.12)
Finally Israel has a backbone. Not one inch of Israel to our enemy--never again.
39. All trying to sound the toughest
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (12.09.12)
This is the way that the Arab League tyrants in the past used to paint themselves into a corner that ended up in war with Israel.Masshal wants to look tougher than Haniyeh and now it seems that Fatah and Hamas are vying to look the tougher. Many here might have heard an interview on BBCWS on Friday with a Fatah crony,Abdullah Abdullah,so good that they named him twice I suppose.He made three big claims. 1)Hamas is prepared to recognise Israel in a two state solution.Clearly that was a lie as we see today. 2)There is no difference between Hamas and Fatah.True,but not in he way he tried to portray. 3)Fatah is as tough as Hamas because it's been on the ground' since 1965.That's where he got so carried away with his own bragging that he couldn't see how he'd destroyed Fatah's credibility and revealed its real aims.Of course,in 1965 the territory that they are now claiming for an Arab state wasn't occupied by Israel;it was occupied by Jordan and Egypt who had already had 17 years to set up that state but had not.Yet Fatah did not fight THEIR occupation. Maashal,Haniyeh,Hamas,Fatah are all lying,arrogant tyrants and all oppress the people that they claim to represent . THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
40. NO! Bibi: You have shown that you are not fit to be PM!
David ,   Israel   (12.09.12)
You have allowed Hamas to make a fool of Israel! You FAILED! You didn't have the courage to finish the job and because of your incompetence Khaled Mashaal has arrived in Gaza as a victor and he has vowed to kill the Jews and that Palestine will be from the Sea to the Jordan River. You had an entire army to finish Hamas off once an for all but you didn't have the guts to do it! The tragedy is that the people in the most endangered areas in the south will still vote for you! No money for protecting YOUR people but all the money in the world for the Haredim! Disgusting!
41. Why should Israel complain.
Reuben ,   New York   (12.09.12)
"Khalid Mashaal exposed Hamas for what it is- a terror group that advocates bloodshed, that fosters poverty, hunger and misery among the Plaestinian people",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, then this would mean and means Khaled Mashaal,,,, is Israel's greatest asset,,,,,,,,,,,,"why should Israel complain".
42. Strategic Opening
David ,   Montpelier USA   (12.09.12)
Bibi can now tell Obama that E-1 will be accelerated unless Abas and Morsi of Egypt unconditionally reject Mashaal's statements. Bibi must do this publicly to show Abas is no different then Hamas. United States Congress must then be lobbied by US citizens to terminate all money to Egypt and PA.
43. Such good looking leaders who have black hearts toward their
Rivkah   (12.09.12)
kinsmen and kinswomen, the Jews. Jews are the kinfolk of the Islamics who hate them? Yes, since they are all descended from the Father Patriarch Abraham. Some are from the Tribes of Israel (Jacob). Others are descended from Ishmael and others from Esau and others from the sons of Keturah. HaShem will resolve this with the Islamic nations being cast out of His Kingdom that is eternal unless they repent and give up Jerusalem and the territories HaShem gave to Israel anciently. That will leave the Islamics with nearly 50 or more nations and vast areas of lands. But if they do not back off from hating their kin, the Jews, they will have nothing but destruction and eternal separation from HaShem to look forward to. I call on all who read this post to pray for Yahweh to bind the demons in those who hate the Christians and Jews and Messianics and to bring peace to Jerusalem so there will be peace in the world. In the name of Yeshua HaMashiach.
44. to Dave
daniela ,   panama   (12.09.12)
You are completelly right.. Israel believes in a two state solution. It is called Israel and Jordan. But we do not mind if you would like to change Jordan´s name to Palestin. By the way.. that was the idea when in the UN they voted in 1947 for a 2 states solution.
45. I don't get it !
Gabe ,   Canada   (12.09.12)
What is Netanyahu negotiating about in Cairo ?
46. #28 and 32
DavidR ,   USA   (12.09.12)
You are a disgusting troll. Sheol is opening its mouth to welcome you. If there is a spark of decency left in you then you should get on your knees and beg for His mercy. Otherwise there is no hope for you.
47. Ali Gaza #7
Shalom ,   Israel /USA.....   (12.09.12)

We give you Gaza to start a Palestinian state you and you leaders turned in to terror state !!!! Yent Please post my post !!
48. Yes Rueben
StevieT ,   USA   (12.09.12)
Israel should not complain. They should keep this guy in the news until he realizes how much he is is aiding the "Zionist entity". At that point he will shut up and obfuscate his positions. He will then be of no further use to Israel. bye bye dude.
49. Jordan or bust!
Sam M ,   UK   (12.09.12)
The clowns of the 'international community' are trying to pull the wool over people's eyes. Many know full well what a 'two state solution' would mean for Israel while others are too stupid to see through the propaganda and distortions of the arab lobby and the useful idiots supporting them. Israel has no viable alternative but to strengthen Jewish communities on the west bank and continue to build in east Jerusalem. And reject a ‘peace agreement’, which would leave a Jewish state just 8 miles wide at its narrowest point and indefensible against the arab/muslim hoards who would seek to destroy what remains. Annex Area C, all viable settlement blocks plus additional land of strategic value to Israel. And if the palestinians don't like it they can remain peacefully in their own small self-governing communities in the west bank or relocate to the only state viable palestinian state, jordan. It may be a tight squeeze but the slums of amman can always hold a few more!
50. Mashaal and Iranian company
Thessalonian ,   Canada   (12.09.12)
It is time for Israel to ignore those who support terrorist Hamas and their cause and to step up to the plate and take out those who threaten its people, its sovereignty and its existence as a nation. Mashaal and his associates would be a good place to start with followed by their Iranian mullah supporters. What are you waiting for, the time to grant him his martyrdom wish has arrived. Act now, talk diplomacy later and on your terms. As the scriptures tell us and as you already know, the One who matters, will be by your side. Regards
51. # 37 David
Giora Me'ir ,   USA   (12.09.12)
Camp David was not the end, but an interruption. Progress was made at Taba, but Sharon's election ended that.
52. # 15..Hope that alleviated your painful constipation? TATA
Edithann ,   USA   (12.09.12)
53. #29 Dave from Brasil
Keren ,   IL-BR   (12.09.12)
I don´t mean to be rude,but are you an idiot or what? Shut up your silly mouth already! Were you already born when Israel gave up Gush Katif to these animals or were you born only when they started rocketing Israel from the lands given to them by Israel by sacrificing 10000 Jews? Shut up already because you are an embarassment!
54. Mahmoud Abbas the Peace Keeper...Not!
ltrail ,   United States   (12.09.12)
With peace partners like PA's Mahmoud Abbas, who needs enemies. Israel does right, not to buckle under to international pressure.
55. Ali # 7
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (12.09.12)
You have been saying that for 64 years now. You might be tough enough to take on school busses and sleeping children now and then but you will never defeat Israel. Perhaps you should stick to defending Allah from cartoons and teddy bears. He seems to need all the help he can get. If he can't handle that on his own he will never triumph over Israel.
56. Robert # 32
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (12.09.12)
Actually it's history and not myth. You will find that out someday and be quite surprised.
57. Butros # 10
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (12.09.12)
Israel exists by the action of God not the U.N. Israel will continue to exist no matter what the U.N. does. The people that call themselves Palestinians can get off Israel's land and go back to Egypt, or Jordan where they belong. Not even their Muslim brothers want them which is not surprising but that shouldn't be Israel's problem.
58. dear mr prime minister...
les ,   canada   (12.09.12)
maybe you did not notice, but hamas (to their credit) never shown anything, but their TRUE COLORS! you and your government should have noticed it 25 years ago... even if you weren't the government at the time!
59. We will know how to deal with you next time
Jack ,   England   (12.09.12)
You lot couldn't deal a hand Never could and never ever will
