31. Questions to Shelly Yachimovitch
Jacques VITENBERG ,   France   (01.19.13)
The good question is not: do you want peace or not? It is: what kind of peace do you want? Do you want leaving the river's valley? Do you want kikar Dizengorff less then 20km from Hamas? Do you want the airport less than 10km from Hamas? Do you want leaving the old city? I resume: Do you want returning to cease-fire lines of 1949? DO YOU WANTLEAVING THE SETTLEMENTS BUILT PAR THE TRAVAILLIST PARTY? hOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE TRAVAILLIST PARTY IS ROLLING THE DICE WITH ISRAEL'S LIVE?
32. Axelrod and Rahm
Jacques VITENBERG ,   France   (01.19.13)
I don't know if Israel will get an apartheid with Netanyahu. But I'm sure that with Axelrod and Rahm, we get an arab state from the sea to the river, and some rescaped dhimmis will be accepted
33. Get started at last!
Mark ,   London, UK   (01.19.13)
As far as I can make out, there's a conviction that an agreement could be reached in months. The call to stop settlement building is a red herring: a means of preventing negotiations from starting (and hence Pallys ultimately having to take painful decisions). With 0.5 million already there, how many more can arrive between initiating and finalising an agreement. Having said all of this, and disregarding the biblical interest in J&S, I feel there should be more settlement and development of the Negev and Galille, neither of which are disupted in international law even if they are disputed by the Pallys.
34. If Israel is an Apartheid state then so are Jordan, Egypt,
face the truth ,   usa   (01.19.13)
Syria, Lebanon and all other Arab states who keep Palestinians in refugee camps refuse to allow them the rights of ordinary citizens!
35. arabs are not sovereign in judea
mofta   (01.19.13)
apartheid does not apply. San remo says the territory belongs to israel. its time to tell the arabs occupiers to move to jordan one way or another ie get out, the land of the jews belongs to the jews. In return israel willbe peaceful and not make war on you. Pack your bags and leave jewish lands now.
36. Agree with many talkbacks..
Beary White ,   Norway   (01.19.13)
Islamic states are using apartheid on a common bases. I think most islamic followers living in western countries are happy to have slipped out af the islamic apartheid grip...the cult should be banned.
37. "Apartheid" is not a synonym for a border dispute
Pals are dhimmis ,   victims   (01.19.13)
The Palestinian leadership won't admit that they can't stand being dhimmis so they blame it on Israel's supposed "apartheid". They're so full of crap they'll use any propagandistic buzz-word to substitute for having to face facts.
38. Arabs are represented in Knesset how many Jews are
usa   (01.19.13)
represented in Palestinian elections? Talk about Apartheid!
39. Oh heck! These jokers must grab some publicity!
Harry Wright ,   UK   (01.19.13)
....and spout some drivel! They put impediments for every piece talk ever. So, Israel can just continue building as if they do not exist while they studiously avoid any piece talk / agreement and play the blame game. Hm, the Israeli bride ain't going to wait forever at the altar for the Balestinian groom to appear. Oh no! Life goes on. Build! Build! Build! Refugees for life means a continuous flow of alimony from the present spouses - the EU and USA. Why make a final settlement when the status quo is so LUCRATIVE????
40. Clearly recognizing Obama ally of Israel's enemies.
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.19.13)
Palestine is forever fictional. There is no "Palestinian President" and no Palestine. However, the statement of the terrorist leader clearly recognizes that Obama is any ally of Israel's enemies. Obama is also aligned with America's enemies.
41. Yediot scrapes the bottom of the barrel
E. G. Marsch ,   Nahariya, Israel   (01.19.13)
Realizing that Peres, Diskin, Livni, and Olmert didn't scare us, now trying to scare us with aides to Abbas--wise Zionists all.
42. israel is already an apartheid state. 2 sets of laws, 2 soci
American POV   (01.19.13)
social systems, 2 justice systems,
43. #32.Tutu and friends who lived great life in Apartheid S A
Alan ,   SA   (01.19.13)
now say that Pals are treated WORSE than S A Blacks at height of Apartheid. By end of Apartheid in 1994 Tutu was a fabulously rich man who exploited his position as a struggle icon to live a great life in S A .He had Cancer of Prostate some years ago and was treated at best USA and SA Hospitals He got millions from many awards for his "struggles" including Nobel Prize Today he has moved his business to fighting Israel in many forums on behalf of Oil Rich Arabs
44. Apart head if Netanyahu wins
Guillotine ,   Jerusalem   (01.19.13)
45. Obama, EU, UN, World will recognize Palestine in '67 borders
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.19.13)
...Israel will not accept this, and Israel will Area C...igniting a global anti Apartheid movement, and crippling sanctions against Israel, similar to what Iran is experiencing now.
46. re article
nigel ,   london   (01.19.13)
who cares what the spokesperson of a corrupt leader who has, like his predecessors done the square root of nothing to bring peace for his people says. He and they have no right to comment
47. Palestine already an apartheid, racist state
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (01.19.13)
Shaath is a senior official the fascist Palestinian Authority that is ethnically cleansed of Jews and is ethnically cleansing Christians from "Palestine" as well. Palestine is apartheid. It is racist, fascist and we already know that it hates women and senior Palestinian leaders say they are opposed to laws against honor killings (where Palestinian men murder women to "protect" family honor and the "law" looks the other way). The world does not need another brutal Arab dictatorship that spits in the face of international law, but that's what it is getting with Palestine.
48. The State of Palestine will be Judenrein
Mark   (01.19.13)
Arab towns in Israel don't accept Jewish residents or Jewish visitors. What do you have to say about that?
49. Apartheid state: That's why hundreds of thousands of black..
NO APARTHEID in ,   ISRAEL   (01.19.13)
Africans risk life and limb to get here.... ??? They come because the know there is NO apartheid in Israel. The ONLY country in the Middle East where this is true. It is a lie the real APARTHEID ARABS WANT you to believe but they know it is total BS.
50. #20 exUK - If that is the case why has Abbas avoided
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NY   (01.19.13)
Ok exUK - If that is the case why has Abbas avoided negotiations since the previous government made an offer? Even if you are right about Bibi, Abbas has spent more than 4 years avoiding any negotiations either because he is afraid for his life or he does not want to help his people So given Abbas left the negotiations with Olmert's offer on the table and that Bibi gave him a 10 month building freeze how is Bibi to blame for there being no movements on peace?
51. More Threats from Holocaust Denier Abbas & his Stooge
Bonbonyera ,   IL   (01.19.13)
Abbas - a 2nd rate dictator of just one half of a 3rd World Country that never existed and never will. Salam to all!
52. YNET
Avraham ,   USA   (01.19.13)
Is Ynet the mouthpiece for Israel's enemies?
53. Solomon # 22
Al ,   US   (01.19.13)
You must have missed the point. The articletalks aboutthe WB where a clear Palestinian majority (Christians and Moslems) are under occupation without any wrights and subjected to a different transportation and legal systems that is totally different than their Jewish neighbors in the settlements and that is defined as apartheid. But you knew that.
54. # 47
Al ,   US   (01.19.13)
There is a lot of ignorance or misinformation on this talkbak. Brian - Do you even know that the Palestinians In the WB are under occupation and that both Abbas and Shaath need Israels permission to move or travel any where? Do you know that there are many Chritians in senior leadership roles in the Palestinian leadership? Do you know that Jews in the Palestinian teretorries are subject to Israeli civil laws unlike the Palestinians who are subject to Israels military laws? Do you know that Jewish settlers in WB vote in the Israli election and control the Netinyaho government? Do yo know that the Palestinians have stated many times that they welcome Jewish participation in an indipendent Palestinian state whwn it becomes a reality?
55. Apartheid exists now by Arabs
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (01.19.13)
Can the PA exist with Jews living in their midsts? No Way! So who is kidding who? It is the Arabs that are the obstacle to peace, it is the Arabs that practice Apartheid, it is the Arabs that are un-democratic. Let's be frank. It is the Arabs who care not for Jews, for Peace or for honesty.
56. # 42
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (01.19.13)
Read # 22
57. Will the settlers who live in "Palestine" be represented
Talk about Apartheid ,   Sheesh!!   (01.19.13)
in Palestine's government?
58. Benassi - Naw, we'll be successful just like you!
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (01.19.13)
Benassi - you're sitting pretty in post-apartheid post-genocide post-slavery USA from your successful occupied settlement on stolen native land. The world accepts you, despite the war crimes you committed for hundreds of years. Despite the fact that you are an occupation settler. Despite the fact that your nation was founded not on freedom and liberty for all, but freedom for the occupiers to steal the land, massacre the rightful owners, put the survivors on reservations and use milions of slaves to do it. Nobody put sanctions on you, Stevie boy. Nobody's gonna put sanctions on us either cuz we're here legitimately - we Jews do indeed come from here. My family is the Levi tribe and they're from here, not Poland or Iran or Morocco or Russia. You, Benassi, are most definitely NOT from Silver Bay MN. You're an occupier. You stole the land. You're a war criminal. And you are accepted.
59. Larry # 55
Al ,   US   (01.19.13)
So larry - can you tells really how you feel about Arabs?
60. One State
Ken # 6 ,   US   (01.19.13)
Ken - I agree. Equal rights and obligations for everyone.
