Jake did you know that ''our friend'' Abass owns a cell phone company? based in Ramallah.
32. BBS News #6
(02.01.13)
The Israelis DID accept . It was Nov 30 1947. The fact that you keep saying 1948 shows you did not do your homework.. 2 states were formed on Nov 30 1947. The State of Israel and the State of Palestine. Both on well delineated borders. Israel accepted. Palestine and 5 arab armies did not and then on May 15 1948 they attacked the State of Israel. Had the State of Israel not been able to stave off this all out assault there would be no Israel today. You know that yet you continue to be on the side of the aggressors.
33. UN 'Human Rights Council ....
Robert renders ,   Belgium   (02.01.13)
Members : Angola, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Nigeria, .... So who cares, there's no credibility anyhow.
34. 1937 Partition Plans
Zechariah   (02.01.13)
The arabs rejected all concept of Partitions in 1937 which would have saved millions of Jews.the 1947 Partition Plan was Rejected. So now the violent morass and viscious cycles.
35. Negoitiate with no preconditions?
Makina ,   New York, NY   (02.01.13)
Ok well, since Israel has decided that building "settlements" in the West Bank is OK while "negotiating", then why not have the Palestinians build all over Israel as well, while "negotiating"? Sounds fair,no? After all, if you refuse to define a border, then there is none, correct? So everyone can build everywhere, from the Sea to the Jordan River. After all, it's the Jew's policy, so how could they possibly object?
36. Hanan is not an Arab woman
zinovy   (02.01.13)
yet she serves
37. Judea and Samaria are Not "Occupied Territory"
Chaim Ben Kahan ,   Efrat, Israel   (02.01.13)
The Anti-Israel, banana republic run UN has it wrong again. The disputed territory is not occupied and is part of Israel proper. Jordan annexed Judea and Samaria after '48 and moved their population illegally on to Israel's land, and this land was never part of Jordan and never part of a nation other than Israel. Israel should leave the UN, the UN is pointless and Israel should boycott the UN and dismiss all UN personnel from Israel permanently.
38. Uhhh birdi...
BBSNews ,   Santa Fe, New Mexico   (02.01.13)
There's only one big issue with what you wrote. Indeed I am an American Indian. And, everything I have written here over the years has been borne out, is factual, and is coming to pass. I stopped a couple of years ago trying to save Israelis from themselves largely because of people like you who are still sitting back and encouraging others to ignore the obvious. It's now becoming more obvious than ever who is on the right side of the facts and history and it is not you and the others who insist that Israel can simply continue to break the law and steal land and resources. You and the others are doing continual damage to Israel by persisting in denial and outright lying to others who are more gullible. Why? At this point it is willful denial of facts that anyone can simply look up. No amount of Hasbara will stop this train now. Only immediate truth and reconciliation can offer any hope and you do not appear to be offering any truth beyond the fact that I am an American Indian.
39. Hey Mike, why no UN complaint then?
BBSNews ,   Santa Fe, New Mexico   (02.01.13)
It seems to me if there is a legitimate claim, then Israel should pursue it. Jews left Arab states in droves and quite voluntarily to join up with the nascent state of Israel. If you see it differently, then start gathering the material together that supports your version and get the Israeli government to petition the UN for redress, We hear your claims a lot from people who offer no proof, no documentation, just words. The Palestinians on the other hand have documents, keys to their homes, and worst of all for you the New Historians have unearthed copious Israeli documents that show a concerted effort to ethnically cleanse Arab Palestinians in the Nakba. I look forward to seeing your complaint at the UN. But I won't hold my breath...
40. UN
gershom ,   USA   (02.01.13)
Let's hope the smug arrogance of the UN has no response from he who owns the true deed to the land he gave and named Israel and indeed owns the deed to the whole planet. That will be a very sad day indeed.
41. rob, you forgot some HRC members...
BBSNews ,   Santa Fe, New Mexico   (02.01.13)
Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Peru, Spain, Switzerland, USA. Among many others. And I might note that you are factually incorrect on HRC members. Three out of your four are not members and Angola's term expires this year. Maybe it's not such a big joke you can laugh off. Go look at the full current list. Then laugh it up.
42. The Entire Land of Israel Belongs to the Jews
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (02.01.13)
All else is commentary.
43. Who is removing 3rd Rome warriors from Jewish homes?
Miron ,   USA   (02.01.13)
If what is said is true this is unprecendent act of mass Anti - Semitism by a legally established body of international statue. End establishes a solid background for justifying past Holocaust and future genocide.
44. 42-Agreed.
Ypip ,   Canada   (02.01.13)
45. Good for you America Indian....
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (02.01.13)
You ( Indians collectively ) and the pals lost. As every word of the Torah is coming true re: the Jews, perhaps it is you who should study the Jews as you have your own people ( I assume ) and see why this struggle continues? Israel cannot lose. She began her Air Force with 4 used planes and American pilots volunteers. ( which at the time was illegal ) With that, she repelled 5 Arab nations and destroyed the Egyptian Air Army. Israel had 600,00 people and the Arabs then numbered 300 million. The main difference between the American Indians and the Arabs is that, the American Indians honored their word to 'do battle no more", the pals, never having won anything, period, continue as a mercenary force for their richer oil producing cousins. I greatly respect the American Indian, maybe your 'honor' will extend itself to those who also fight to live and to win to live in peace? Someone must lose, someone must win, thank G-d Israel remains the only trusted ally of democracy in the ME. Notice, no other nation is as filled with "Illegal's" as Israel. Please read up, ask questions and see how the biblical prophets ( all Jews BTW ) words are coming true. Nothing like it anywhere else on earth, no matter what your faith. Shalom, Peace.
46. LOL # 12 BBS the USA was once called 'colonies'
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (02.01.13)
and her 'settlers' I'm sure you've heard of.....
47. Hanan
Brod ,   USA   (02.01.13)
An adviser and clone of Arafat.
48. UN
Edouard ,   Canada   (02.01.13)
General DE GAULEWAS RIGHT ON ONE THING WHEN HE CALLED TH UN " ce machin"" this thing" Useless body of idiots
49. There are consequences
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.01.13)
The Arabs have been the aggressors in all six of Israel's wars. Israel is not under any obligation to return any more land than they have already returned. It is time for the ersatz "Palestinians" to accept the fact that they are a vanquished people, and are not entitled to any more bites at the apple. Of course, if they really want to prove their objection to the settlements, they should simply refuse to work in any of the settlement enterprises. That will kick up unemployment in the ersatz "Palestine" Authority to 80 percent. Israel will help them along in their quest by revoking the thousands of work permits issued to West Bank Arabs. That will kick up unemployment in the ersatz "Palestine" Authority to 95 percent. The events of November 29, 2012 put an end to any possibility of "negotiations," and it is increasingly obvious that Israel will annex Judea and Samaria. When that happens, the Arab squatters illegally residing in the West Bank will be repatriated to Jordan, country of their citizenship. War is hell. Especially when you lose. It is time for the ersatz "Palestinians" to pursue their dream elsewhere. Israel has had enough of their nonsense, and has moved on to far more important issues.
50. Palis like report written by genocidal maniacs, rapists, etc
EST ,   Miami USA   (02.03.13)
