31. Eh?
Hmm. ,   Chicago   (12.30.12)
What exactly do these geniuses think the Security Council can do for them?

33. #25 Really?
Mickey ,   Sydney Australia   (12.30.12)
Oh! So that's why 74% of average Americans support Israel according to many recent US polls?
34. #20 x -respective countries?

The arabs (who are from arabia) came with the Muslim Conquest. More came in the early 1900’s due to a better economy, caused by Jews who returned in the late 1800’s. In 1948, arabs came to Jerusalem at the behest of Jordan, to assure that the Jews being kicked out could not return. This is after most arabs left in 1948 at the behest of the arab armies, who told them to get out of the way as they will push the Jews into the sea. Meanwhile, there have always been Jews there. When they were kicked out of Jerusalem, they joined those Jews living in Judea and Samaria (ever wonder why it’s called Judea?). “Back to their respective countries”? Be careful what you wish for; you might find yourself in Saudi Arabia.

It turns out that there never was a 2-state solution, given the arabs demands: They run whenever it seems a solution/compromise is on the horizon. They play bad-cop, good-cop (some good-cop; LOL), with Hamas openly saying that their goal is to wipe Israel off the map. The PA refuses to recognize Israel, says that Israel should let them return, yet their land will be judenrien. They have rejected generous offers, but in return say that they want everything they demand, and THEN they’ll talk. Sorry, but Israel cannot, and will not, commit the national suicide you wish upon it. And the only one-state “solution:, will be if Israel chases all those who want Israel’s destruction, back to Jordan and Egypt. And there is FA that you can do about it.
36. Solomon, Israel is commiting suicide...
BBSNews ,   Santa Fe, New Mexico   (12.31.12)
And mostly because people like you make untrue claims and more and more Americans are becoming wise to it. The suicide is not something I wish, I worked for years to try and make people understand that but a lot of you folks are like viewers of Faux News here in the US. You make things up that are not true, and guess what? There is FA you can do about losing the support of the world and the USA. Bibi helped ensure that when he tried to interfere in the US general elections. It was in all the real news, and all over the Israeli news, how did you miss it? Demographics and millions of Palestinians will be Israel's responsibility and the dreaded One State Solution(tm) is assured.
37. #36 bbs - untrue claims
solomon ,   bklyn   (12.31.12)
Which are the "untrue claims"? Name them, instead of making a general statement that doesn't even attempt to prove your point. You close your eyes to reality; read my post #35 again, and refute my points, one by one. Explain how giving in to the arabs will not be suicide. Israel withdrew from gaza, remember? And the result? Even your claim that 'Israeli supporters are only the Tea Party crowd, and not the average American' is proved wrong by the latest polls which show that over 70% of Americans support Israel. You ignore facts; your statements are bogus.
38. Solomon, the fast talker...
BBSNews ,   Santa Fe, New Mexico   (12.31.12)
Solomon, I just do not care. I used to. And there are several in this thread who can tell you. They let people like you blather on even though they know you are wrong as well. I suppose they figure, well, at least he's on our side. In this post also you spout clear untruths, able to be disproved without barely lifting a finger and that tells me you are a fool who simply wants to spout things you know nothing about even as Israel is driven to non-existence. Years ago it could have been stopped. Now it is too late. And Solomon, polls depend on the question and the factual knowledgebase of the respondent. That "70%" is a meaningless number because it is based upon the fantasy Israel, the Sunday school version, those same people could not point it out on a map... Plus, you might want to take a look at how those numbers break out by religion and political party. If I were you, I would do less commenting and more studying up on reality and facts rather then the claptrap you are trying to pass off. Regardless, the dreaded One State Solution(tm) is Israel's future and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Bibi has assured this.
39. A barrel of oil
Zechariah   (12.31.12)
One million barrels of oil is worth seven hundred million dollars so something is wrong.Its a balance .Enough money to keep essential services and not too much to allow arms smuggling.Its adds up that five million Palestinians in mega cities could live well the Palestinians can form a few Mega city States with plenty of green spaces and agriculture but No Belligerant Hardware.

41. #38 bBS - your post is an excellent description
solomon ,   bklyn   (12.31.12)
of yourself. You rattle on and on, not one fact, not one reference, nothing having to do with the real world. No factual refutation of post #35. Just an accusation of what you yourself are doing; blathering on and on without getting down to facts; only spouting your own warped opinions and claptrap. Your posts are devoid of anything worth even the slightest bit of consideration. All you can do is call another names, as you have no facts or sources to back up your opinions. Facts are anathema to you. As you already live in your own wishful thinking, with nothing to back up your statements except vitriol, you should be in politics.
42. re True... one state for all
Linda ,   Australia   (01.01.13)
yes, one state for Israel. Get out of our country.
