Shlomo ,   Israel   (07.18.13)
Who appointed as a spoke person for the 56 countries including Iran? There will be no return to the 67 borders. I hate to burst your bubble but not now not ever, KAPICHE?
32. #18 Muna
Avi ,   Israel   (07.18.13)
My solution to the Palestinian problem is re-settle them in Qatar. Of course with the trillions that your corrupt leaders have stolen, you Qataris can afford to live in Paris or New York in comfort...
33. More B.S. from the evil Obama regime.
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.18.13)
Samantha Powers' record is clear. Talk about Powers "defending Israel" is more B.S. from the evil Obama regime.
34. Dear Youssef # 21
Muna ,   Doha   (07.18.13)
People like you are the main obstacle to peace. Because of people like you millions in Israel and in our region go to war and suffer daily privations. Your talking makes no sense. If you come with exoterical arguments you can say anything and you will fight for it (suppose you want to concquer Mount Sinai, sacred for Jews, I suppose). You will go for it and nobody can change your vision. So you are in the field of the blind, fanatical, crazy, freak people. Jihadists, Taleban, the Muslim Brotherhood use the same arguments as yours. However, if you talk like a rational human being, guided by human laws and moral principles, then there is an occupation, a criminal act, and most of nations, almost 6 billion people are against this, including most decent Israelis, I suppose. Enjoy your position. It will vanish very soon. Israel is recognized by the international community within the Green Line and that's where it will be.
35. Muna. Doha
AL QUDS AL YAHUDI ,   QUDS HAKA AL YAHUD   (07.18.13)
Israel is recognized by the international community within the Green Line, because the are immoral,unjust, looking for their own interest,and to appease Arabs on the expence of the Jews. Muna the real witness with moral and respect, please read your Quran & the old/new testament properly. There are other religious Islamic holy books which says about Israel and the Jews. Who are these people mention in your Quran BNEI ISRAIL.
36. Samantha IS TRYING :
JJ   (07.18.13)
trying to dupe Israel. One good deed toward Israel (that needs it not) The other A KNIFE IN THE BACK : For Israel. While the BIGGEST CULPRIT Obarmi pleased staying silently of course. He sure picked his minions well : i.e Hagel, Powers (both rabid antisemites) the third A JEW WITHOUT A CLUE Kerry . All well planned by him since his Cairo speech & the bowing /kissing the Saudi kingi.(when on the stump) And since then down the hill aga inst Israel. Anyone who believes them needs their heads examined. And BB better be very careful dealing with these lot who's only desire is to win kudos,while Israel BLEEDS.
37. "Unacceptable bias"? What is acceptable bias?
Isaac Galili ,   Israel   (07.18.13)
When diplomats and politicians speak, listen very carefully. I am glad Power will defend Israel against "unacceptable bias" but I am curious what she deems to be acceptable bias?
38. Muna Doha 34
AL QUDS AL YAHUDI ,   QUDS HAKA AL YAHUD   (07.18.13)
You now admitting that Mount Sinai is sacred to the Jews, and from this Mount the Jews received the ten commandments, Why dont you admit that the Almighty have promised the whole of Israel to the Jews from the sea to the river. Islam are occupying big part of the land of the Jews which was promised by Almighty illegal. Give back the land or your nation will be cursed. The Almighty works on misterious way. Beware !!!!
39. Anything that comes out of the Obama Administration
Dee Bee ,   Israel   (07.18.13)
Is nothing but a load of crap and appeasement of the US "allies" in the Gulf. Maybe the good folks in to USA should remember how the Arab States used the 1973 Yom Kippur War, when the Arabs attacked Israel in on a "day that will go down in infamy", as a weapon against them with the Oil Embargo. Obviously President Obama and his side kicks, Kerry and previously Hilary Clinton, are still under the illusion that the Palestinians and Arabs want peace withe Israel. They don't want "Peace" they want Israel and all of it and it must be Judenrein -Jew Free, Abbas's words, not mine!
40. She has a great talent...
REK ,   USA   (07.18.13)
as a singer because she can sing a different tune on demand.
41. to Avi, Israel
Dov ben David ,   Eilat, Israel   (07.18.13)
"Of course an endorsement coming from a citizen of a corrupt emirate can only be used as a toilet paper..." You must joking talking about a corrupt country. Are you blind conserning corruption in our country????
42. Using Taqiyya to gain power
Brod ,   USA   (07.18.13)
Samantha Power is a Papist AntiSemite. To gain power, she and her handlers are using Taqiyya to fool Congress. Papism is placing its agents in key positions so they can control the world and effect a Final Solution on Israel that Papist Hitler failed to accomplish. It is time Judeo-Christians open their eyes and not be fooled by this 'Beast' power that the Book of Revelation warns about. The 'deadly wound' that Revelation warns has healed. Revelations reveals that the power behind this 'Beast' is the Dragon-Satan!
43. To Dror
Dov ben David ,   Eilat, Israel   (07.18.13)
It is very sad to hear your filthy mouth over and over again Dror. Most of us feel ashamed as Israelis for your shameless attacks on people here....
44. to Muna
Dov ben David ,   Eilat, Israel   (07.18.13)
Thank you very much for your support. As you can see, some of the people here that represent a good part of the Israelies do not want peace made by mankind. They wait for Mesias to come in on a donkey and kll all the gentiles, and than they will live in peace for ever. This will of course not happen. We normal Israelis must tireless work to be in majority here and bring the peace. I believe it will come...Thanks again for your important voice Muna...
45. Is she a dual citizen? jew? Who
(07.18.13)
Does she represent?
46. # 44 To Dov
Muna - Doha ,   Doha   (07.18.13)
I know that there is a lot of good, normal Israelis like you. And there is a lot of fanatical and freaks, like the ones here that resort to violent and hate language. They bark and the world goes on. They are worthless people. But people like you, like me, that want to make bridges, that praise life are the ones that will contribute to bring peace to Earth. In the Arab world we also have people that want to destroy Israel, that go to the Quran to base their vision of life. These people are sick and need treatment. We must be patient and just listen. I am happy to find Israelis like you. I hope one day visit Tel Aviv.
47. #44 Dov ben David: You comment is offensive! Muna. Doha.
Dee Bee ,   North of Israel   (07.18.13)
Dov, you have condemned people like me who are totally a-religious, agnostic and atheist who do want "Peace" but don't not see any willingness by the Palestinians to show that the really want Peace! The Palestinians had a great deal with Barak and Arafat. They would have had 93% of their claims accepted and probably even may have plunged this country in civil war. However, Arafat rejected it and plunged the country into a state of terror and tragedy which resulted in that fanaticism that you refer to to grow and gain support. Instead of accusing all Israelis of being potential hatemongers, why don't you and Muna ask President Abbas if he really wants Peace and if he really represents the Palestinian people in which he included Hamas whose leadership has quite clearly stated that it will nver recognize the State of Israel! President Abbas should also explain to you and Muna why he has not called an election to prove that he is the legitimate President and leader of the Palestinians. Maybe Muna should ask the UAE, which has basically bought the UK, about its hatred of Israel and its threats to withdraw its sponsorship for the London cable car project reported by YnetNews today. As you say the majority of Israelis want peace but how do you make peace with people whose hatred extends to killing their own, never mind their enemy?
48. Who in their right mind will believe this woman!!!!
Harry Wright ,   UK   (07.18.13)
49. To Muna
Dov ben David ,   Eilat, Israel   (07.18.13)
Thank you for your wise words. You are welcome to Israel any day. I wish I could as an Israeli also be welcomed to Doha...
50. To Dee Bee
Dov ben David ,   Eilat, Israel   (07.18.13)
Dear Dee Bee, I am sorry if I have condemned you. I commented Dror from Haifa that over and over speak bad about Arabs in a racist way that is not tolerable. I believe there is a God, but I dont work as his/her/its representative with any autherysation. I came to Israel in 1968, I joined the army and I have always been a Zionist. We in Israel must understand that Plaestinians have lived here in this region for centuries. We are 2 people with right to live here. I know what our enemy is doing to us, and very much would like to do. But there are also Palestinians that would like to live in peace with us. That goes also for our neighbours. Soto speak like the enemy and behave racistic will not move us to peace. You see that our government is ready to discuss to go back to the borders of 1967. Right or wrong, we have no other choice. The Arab world, nor the rest of the world will let us sit here as occupiers. We have to move on... I see a willingness from the Fatah group to make peace with us. Have pations and it will come. What do you think about the Israelis who on this forum offended Muna, a person who look upon us positive? I do not accuse all Israelis of being potential hatemongers, On the contrary. I have hope in our people! I understand many or your thoughts, but we need to be patient my friend. In the meantime enjoy readers like Muna who is positive, and condemn those who condemn her....
51. From Salma to Muna, I'm not even sure they exist for real...
Yossef   (07.18.13)
52. our gov't in action
arik ,   usa   (07.18.13)
Repeat after me: "I pledge allegiance to the United States of Israel. I will always put Israel's interests before those of the United States. I will never speak my mind if my thoughts would be unacceptable to Israel" If you want to see big part of why the Arab-Israeli conflict has not ended, look no further.
53. Because you may only act through the UN
Az   (07.18.13)
Any self-determining action is BAD behavior, and must be punished, it's naughty and you must comply with the determinations of the council. That won't do at all!
54. gingit drek!!
(07.18.13)
55. ##47 Dee Bee
Muna - Doha   (07.18.13)
Palestinians and most of Arabs want peace. Nobody can stand this conflict anymore. I dream to see Israelis walking by Doha and Qataris in Tel Aviv. But I am afraid the right wing in Israel is not prepared for peace. You said Palestinians rejected the 2000 accords. You are right. Why should they accept? If the offer was not reasonable, how should they accept it? Palestinians are a people with principles as Israelis are. Maybe the old generation of Israelis can remember the polemic that was the establishment of ties with Germany. Israelis had principles and they were not wanting to pay any price for being accepted. The same happens with Palestinians... it is not any peace. It is a reasonable peace that can be accepted by all and this is difficult to reach. Can you just explain to me why Israel has rejected the Arab Peace Initiative? Don't you want to be accepted in the region as a normal country?
56. seating on UN security council
jennifer ,   jerusalem, Israel   (07.18.13)
Why shouldn't Israel have a PERMANENT seat on the UN security council? or does the world look at us as nonpermanent?
57. muna 55
alsky ,   toronto   (07.18.13)
most fair minded people felt the offer in 2000 was more than re asonable. it became clear to many that the legal occupation was and is not the reason for this conflict. if 'palestininas' wanted peace, there would have been peace a long time ago. i think its a far bigger problem- islamic Caliphate
58. To Muna, Dov Ben David.
David Clarke ,   Liverpool, England   (07.18.13)
Thank goodness there are individuals like you two willing to stand up for good decent Human values. Samantha Powers has declared her interest to defend Israel at the UN, why an American ambassador has to defend the interests of a foreign power like Israel, who is more capable of looking after its own affairs, I don't know. However for many individuals here on Ynet it still isn't good enough. They are blinded by radical racist far-right Ideology and fanatical religious Zealotry and messianism. To these individuals anything less than full scale racist advocacy of anti-Arabism, Islamaphobia and the expulsion of Palestinians from the West Bank is enough for you to be labeled as an anti-Semite or self-hater. They are individuals who, quite frankly, if they were in any other countries but Israel and the United States they would be locked up for hate speach and incitement to racial hatred or would be certified and declared insane by mental health authorities, in particular the loud mouth loony from Haifa and the Brooklyn Kraken, its best to ignore these individuals and try not to provoke them, they, as hate trolls who emerge from their hate caves once in a while to pour scorn on the world, have nothing to say that's of any decent and sane human value about the topic of Israeli-Arab and Israeli-Palestinian Peace. Shalom/Salaam, Ramadan Mubarak.
59. # 58 David
Muna - Doha   (07.18.13)
Thanks, David. Yes, the level of hate here is unbelievable. Sarah B is by far the most dangerous one. But, believe me, we have much more freaks than you. They also resort to hate speech, violence and intolerance. I understand the Arab Spring as a first step to overcome all this, although the way will not be easy. What surprises me in these talkbacks is that the ones living abroad, like the lady from Brooklyn (Yes, the B one) feels the right to interfere in israeli issues. i am happy to find at least two or three sound voices in these talkbacks. All the best for you.
60. 59 Muna
Cipora Julianna Kohn   (07.18.13)
what would you know about sara b or where she lives. just keep in mind that arab imperialism and imperial wars have lasted well over a thousand years. arabs muslims were colonisers of the land of Israel, followed by the ottoman empire, for five hundred years.
