its the PLO any other name is subterfuge
2. Wrong
Beary White ,   Norway   (01.08.13)
Our leftist government of Norway, actually competed with abu masen to change the name to the State of Palestine.. Our leftist politicians sure have great love for beeing an islamic subordinator, and are not able to see they are playing with dark forces..

5. Perhaps
Norman Gellman ,   Rehovot   (01.08.13)
May be we should welcome this move. Then we can require visas of all Palestinians that wish to enter Israel, and issue work permits to to only those we want as well as all restrictions tha fall on any foreigner.
6. name change
nigel ,   london   (01.08.13)
in changing name,it would seem that the PA will no longer exist therefore, no agreements such as Oslo can be held as vaild.Whilst a stupid pointless stunt, I think Abbas could have scored a massive own goal How can Israel uphold its commitments to a body that no longer exists ? No tax revenue, no Oslo agreement ? No PA ? No two states, no Palestinian body which has been recognized anywhere. Pointless move by Abbas -
7. PA PLO unfortunate mistakes
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (01.08.13)
The Arabs have much trouble to negotiate and this is their problem. If they would sit down in good faith and actually talk to us, maybe we could work things out, but they are filled with such hatred against a successful Jewish state in what they perceive as their land, they can not sit in good faith and negotiate.

ma nishma ,   modiin   (01.08.13)
well said: a pig with lipstick on is still a pig. The PLO/PA what ever have never negotiated in good faith with us. They long ago could have reaped the benefits of being our peaceful neighbor, but, no, they prefer to hate us rather than work with us to finding a peaceful solutionl

Baruch ,   Akko, Israel   (01.08.13)
The modern state of Israel is facing a bigger threat than ever before in our history. namely, a more intelligent enemy. It is time for us to give up our false claims and dreams of a greater Israel and sit down in good faith --while we are still in a position to do so. The State of Palestine is a fact --get used to it.
11. #10 More intelligent enemy?
Get Real ,   UK   (01.08.13)
Like not thinking through the international implications of issuing a passport for a state with two governments and no internationally defined boundaries? And,of course, the implications with Israel. Devious and stupid more appropriate, for if they were intelligent they would not be in the political and financial mess they are now in.
12. New Arab Nation Is *NOT* a Done Deal
emanon ,   USA   (01.08.13)
13. palestine'? Except for Israel LOL
bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (01.08.13)
is Abbas senile or just trying one more joke on his idiot backers for more $$?
14. A name that better fits for this entity
Uzziel   (01.08.13)
Gaseous State of Fakestine.
15. where is the money coming from
zionist forever   (01.08.13)
This state of palestine is supposedly broke and cant even afford to pay its employees but to change all this stuff is going to cost millions, not like an office buying some new letter headed paper. They have the money to run diplomatic missions all over the world which can't be cheap. Isn't it time the world started saying to these people you want our money then you balance the budget don't spend money on luxuries you don't need like diplomatic missions or changing documentation to say State of Palestine rather than Palestinian Authority when there is no state yet. There are plenty of expensive things the PA does for image that purposes only at the cost of essential services. Maybe they might even try exporting something other than terror.
16. Similar to forcing Jews to wear the Star of David
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.08.13)
17. No interest
David ,   South Park/Miami, US   (01.08.13)
Israel has no interest in peace or two states. Never has and never will. Most Zionists are anti-peace and the entire world sees it. Like radical Islam, Zionists do nothing but destroy societies and create havoc where they go.
18. #16 Steve - No similarity whatever
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRA EL   (01.09.13)
Nobody is forcing Abbas to print money, stamps or passports with Palestine imprinted on them He can print all that he wants; the problem is that they won't be worth anything.. What's the Exchange rate for a Palestinian Pound (Not British Mandate Money) ? How many Palestinians stamps does it take to mail a letter? Try using a Palestinian Passport to exit Israel, see just how far you will get One thing I can say for you, I have never, ever seen so much ignorance displayed in the small of space that you take
19. #17 Dave - Pakistan has not interest
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (01.09.13)
or reason to comment, just look at how well you get along with your neighbor, INDIA When was the first or last time you visited Israel, which would make you somewhat of any expert TWO STATE!!- Look to Jordan, built on land stolen by the British from the Mandate for a Jewish Palestine, that's the SECOND STATE Your next statement gave me the best laugh of the week, you're descring your very own MuSLIMES perfectly, wreaking death & destruction wherever they go "Israel has no interest in peace or two states. Never has and never will. Most Zionists are anti-peace and the entire world sees it. Like radical Islam, Zionists do nothing but destroy societies and create havoc where they go" I have an idea, GOOGLE "thereligionofpeace.com" It shows the death and cestruction that MuSLIMES cause wherever they are, inlcluding body counts & graphic photos, times & places Enjoy the gore you buddies have caused "
