31. Losing international support ???
John   (01.22.13)
When was Israel gained any international support for anything? it is very rare indeed.I will have more respect for the foreign secretary if he comes out and state the truth for once, it is the Palestinians who rejects peace and do not want peace,and not put false statements on the only democratic state in the middle east the State of Israel.
32. One opinion remote to reality
olavi ,   espoo, finland   (01.22.13)
PA will never be able to lay functional government and functional society. PA is in the hands of scrupulous gangsters who live on money stupid west pays to them. Israel shall build whatever it is needed. There in plenty of room for palestinians in Saudies.
33. To all commentators
Harold ,   USA   (01.22.13)
Never forget the Creation of Israel with 1948 borders is a British Plan and never underestimate Britain. Britain and all European countries can recognize a Palestian State with 1967 borders and It is time for Britain to remind Obama what he said at the United Nations four years ago.
34. It's not dying, it's dead!
tiki ,   belgium   (01.22.13)
The two-state solution is there for those that want to see a solution! It's called Palestine, a place which changed it's name into Jordan, but still has the biggest majority of Arab Palestinians. With a few corrections between Israel and Jordan's border, the 2-state solution is a fact. Like this the Arab Palestinians have their country and the Israeli's theirs. Gaza is for the Gazan's and should negotiate with Egypt to get a piece of Sinai for more 'lebensraum. The Europeans should, if they realy want to broker a just peace deal, stop complaining & bickering and start preparing the world for the only deal possible.
35. Enough of Britain
Madeleine ,   Israel   (01.22.13)
Always blaming Israel. Of course Abu Mazzan's attitude has absolutely nothing to do with it. Dos the international community ever blame the Palis? No, they only ever blame Israel. Britain should concentrate on the Falklands which look like becoming a problem. And Hague should just shut up.
36. #12
Bob W ,   West Allis, USA   (01.22.13)
Yes, Mr bald head, put your house in order and shut up. Israel is not just another country where a ¨walk on the park¨you people can do. Think twice Mr. bald head. You British created this mess in the first place, and now, you want to ïmpose on Israel¨a stupid & pathetic solution, but you need Israel more than Israel needs you. So, shut up and stop harrasing the Jewish State.
37. Britain's blatant interference in Israel's elections
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (01.22.13)
Britain to face the fact it no longer has any influence in international affairs, especially in Israel. This blatant attempt by Hague to influence elections will backfire. One thing is certain a 2 state solution is unrealistic & not what the PA wants anyway.
38. Cruel to worry Hague so much.
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (01.22.13)
It's making his hair fall out. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
39. #27. There are no "Palestinian lands".
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.22.13)
#27. Harold. Palestine has never existed and never will exsit. So there are no "Palestinian lands". Just as there are no Oz lands or Narnia lands.
40. Harold
DavidR ,   USA   (01.22.13)
Yes Harold we understand. We know you are chomping at the bit to get another holocaust started so you can watch Jews die! Sorry Harold, Israeli nukes will reach Europe. Your dream is a lost cause.
41. #3
MONA ,   US   (01.22.13)
when you steal something you should return it without negotiations...end
42. Hague and 2 state solution
Lazerbenabba ,   London   (01.22.13)
This is the foreign secretary of a nation that gave rise to the phrase, "Perfidious Albion". The hypocrisy coming out of his mouth is only matched by his ignorance. This the country that has lied to further its political agenda right back to its non compliance with the correct allocation of land demanded by the UN after the partition when the UK had to leave Israel
43. P.S. to # 10:
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (01.22.13)
And, as for "Jewish settlements", it is racist, pure and simple racist, to expect Jews, ONLY because they are Jewish, to limit their living space anywhere on earth; and, it is most insulting to tell us, Jews, to refrain from residing at the heart of our ancestral homeland and the capital city of our people for the past more than 3,000 years. In addition, such a demand of Jews contradict not only ethical values but also legality in that the League of Nations, in 1922, called upon Jews to settle throughout the part of "Palestine" located between the Jordan River and the Med. Sea. This act of the League of Nations was then adopted by the UN and etched into its Charter, Article 80, 1945. Since Arabs reside and build their homes throughout the country, both in the sovereign state of Israel as well as the disputed territories, there should be not reason at all to expect Jews, only because they are Jewish, to do otherwise.
44. @31 John- mostly right and little wrong
Ken ,   Burma at Peace   (01.22.13)
"I will have more respect for the foreign secretary if he comes out and state the truth for once, it is the Palestinians who rejects peace and do not want peace" Hows that! Lets forget about the state of israel, it didn't work, Let call it all what it has always been, Palestine.
45. #26 #27 - No such thing a stolen palenstian land
Tova ,   Canada   (01.22.13)
Al the land belongs to Israel. The people of Israel were forced out of their land for centuries. While there was still a Jewish population, most of the land belong to Israel. The so called palenstians took these lands from the Jews. The 1948 borders were not accepted by the Arabs. The EU wants Israel to give up everything, because the EU fear the Islamic world. The moslems took control. Queen Isabell of spain began the inquisition. Now the Islamic world is using the inquistions against the European. Israel will be here. A heavy price will be paid by all nations who go against Israel.
46. 16
(01.22.13)
how do you think those BRITISH CITIZENS on these islands got there in the first place????????????? england captured it, ethnically cleaned the existing population and MOVED AND TRANSFERED BRITISH CITIZENS ONTO THOSE ISLANDS. no wonder these brits want to be part of england, but ask the native population that disappeared by the brits if they wish to as well. what is the difference between israelis settling the west bank and england transfering her citizens into captured territories?
47. 25
(01.22.13)
a self imposed delusional wet dream. europe and the usa need israel far more than israel needs both. if no israel, no american or european foot hold in the mid east and russia will gobble up everything. not in the best interests of both eu and usa.
48. 33
(01.22.13)
obama stated secure borders. 67 is not secure borders.
49. Hague looking for attention and something to do
Sam ,   Canada   (01.22.13)
When politicians need the attention they crave there is nothing better than turning to the Jews and Israel. Hague is looking to fill up his agenda book and there is nothing else that will make him look more important.
50. You are right, Mr. WIMP...the so called two
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (01.22.13)
state "solution" is ALREADY DEAD FOR GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
51. Israel tried this in good faith with gaza
Barney ,   USA   (01.22.13)
and it was a miserable failure. the arabs can't get along with each other much less Jews. all over the world they are killing each other.
52. It never lived!
Yael Schlichting ,   currently Munich   (01.22.13)
53. #9 - what to do?!
Yosef, phd ,   usa - israel   (01.22.13)
Right on, Scott, To add: If the Brits still do not get it - the suggestion is: shove it up your Antisemitic A$%s, as it always was since the establishment of the Jewish state.
54. # 15 Ferdinand
bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (01.23.13)
I must have missed those "comments wishing death on Mr. Hague." Can you please provide some of the examples? I am aware of "Death to Israel" "Death to America" Muslim chants of Israel's enemies, are you? ( and how about those Muslim on Muslim deaths eh? any comments from you? ) Haven't yet heard one "Death to Mr. Hague." Extreme is even suggesting Israel cede another inch to any pal terrorists, period. HAve a nice day BUILD BABY BUILD !!!!!!!!
55. Here's a solution silly Ferdinand....
bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (01.23.13)
those 'people in the occupied territories' can join those Brits in the Falklands, as they have in Britain proper. They love to 'co mingle.'
56. THE CREATION OF ISRAEL OVER 3,500 YEARS AGO
bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (01.23.13)
Wasn't it Britain who was once such an empire that " the sun never set on her ?" Now, the sun can't find her.... Wasn't it also the aggressively anti semitic Britain who forced Disraeli to 'convert'? Hell, at the rate the Brits are going, they'll become Mecca with a sub station in Britain. They wont be bowing to the Queen, they'll bow to Mecca Jack 5 x's a day.
57. Mr Hague
Get Real ,   UK   (01.23.13)
What has he told and expect the Palestinians to do about attaining a peaceful solution? Are there incentivess and disencentives for the Palestinians? Has he given advice to Hamas as well? Over the years Mr Hague has not shown a fair balance in commenting upon issues involving Israel.
58. The Land of Israel
Brod ,   USA   (01.23.13)
Judea and Samaria is the Land of Israel. It is Israel's liberated Historic and Biblical Homeland. Hague needs to know this. It is time to counter the myth perpertrated by Arab Islamist-Jihadist usurpers.
59. Classroom
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.23.13)
Everyone who cares about what Mr. Hague thinks, raise their hand. Umm -- let's see -- zero hands raised. Okay. 'Nuff said. What an asshole. As if Israel cared a whit what he thinks. Perhaps he can arrange to have Buckingham Palace and its huge grounds razed -- should make a nice home for the ersatz "Palestinians" -- and the British are welcome to them. Frankly, we've had more than enough of that violent and terrorist lot. If there's too many, you can give them Windsor Castle and any of the thirty-two homes owned by the Queen throughout the U.K. Heck of a lot of property for someone who doesn't actually work for a living.
60. Britain The Hypocritical Liar
Grizz ,   Anchorage U.S.A   (01.24.13)
What a farce and all out misdirection by Britain. This land belongs to all Jews not the Palestinians or Muslims. Would Britain have been chastised for their empire building when they occupied so much of the world in their conquest.? Not! Would they allow the P.A to build their homes in England if they occupied Britain? Not! They have no right to voice any opinion because of their hypocrisy.
