1. What "war crimes?" 100,000 dead in Syria, that war?
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (07.23.13)
2. palestinian terror toll
elke ,   usa   (07.23.13)
Prosor says there have been "thousands" of attacks and that Palestinian terror attacks "doubled" between 2011-2012. Let's go to the "Terrorism Against Israel: Comprehensive Listing of Fatalities" at jewishvirtuallibrary.org. 1993 - present, 1,530 2011 - 21 2012 - 9 2013 - 1 Fatalities actually declined by more than 50 percent between 2011-2012. It's a little harder to come up with Palestinian fatalities, but there were at least 6,829 from 200- present. http://www.ifamericansknew.org/stats/deaths.html
3. Obama and the EU are encouraging Arab terror
CJK   (07.23.13)
we see a despicable conspiracy against the jewish state from obama and the europeans who blame Israel for all the ills in the middle east. obama boycotted the knesset, while bowing deeply to the saudi monarch of a medieval kingdom. the eu is boycotting israel while encouraging the arab palestinians in their rejectionism. we see nothing but bias against the jewish state from a world where hatred of jews is commonplace and where appeasement of the wealthy arabs is the only diplomacy.
4. Right of return sabotages peace
Sam ,   Canada   (07.23.13)
Palestinians want to flood Israel with Palestinians but they are outraged that there are Jews moving into the West Bank. Do the Palestinians understand how idiotic they sound? If Palestinians stop with the right of return they won't have to worry about settlements. But they believe they can terrorize Israel and the West sufficiently to get everything their way. Hasn't worked yet, has it?
5. This is Kerry's "Victory"?
Dee Bee ,   Israel   (07.23.13)
Time to show the UN what terrorism really is. If Malala, the little girl shot by the Taliban in Pakistan, could address the UN Security Council then maybe the victims of Palestinian and Arab terror and the families of those murdered by the Palestinians should also address the UN and show them the pictures of the slaughter of the Vogel family, the carnage at the Dophinarium, the bus and hotel bombings and the restaurant bombing in Jerusalem, seen at first hand by Hilary Clinton when she was First Lady! The US is selling Israel out and out politicians are just not seeing the duplicity of the Obama Administration.
6. arab hogwash
jennifer ,   jerusalem, Israel   (07.23.13)
it's about time for Israel to stand up and state that Israel is the HOME of the Jewish People, and the Jewish People ONLY! It is time to state clearly that not only the borders that we presently occupy are ours, but MUCH MORE belong to Israel, as stated in the Holy Bible-the Torah-which is a Legal Document!
7. Jerusalem built by Jewish Kings. Is this man really educated
Adi ,   Zurich   (07.23.13)
Jerusalem built by Jewish Kings. Is this man really educated.!.
8. "accusations of war crimes"
tiki ,   belgium   (07.23.13)
Show us the prove or shut up!
9. I think the Pals really
arne ,   chicago usa   (07.23.13)
want out of any "peace" deal right now. Their not ready to govern themselves. have trouble with hamas and a whole bunch of problems that they are not ready to handle. So , by starting up with Israel the deal (Whatever) will blow up and they can put the blame on Israel.Ironicly, it's good for both sides
10. Free goodies already offered to Pals so it's back to attack
Sam ,   Canada   (07.24.13)
So, the Palestinians have already pocketed the free goodies Kerry gave them and they know there will be no deal because they won't compromise so they are back on the attack. Goes to show you how incompetent these Western diplomats are.
11. a divided Jerusalem? 67 borders?
Barney ,   USA   (07.24.13)
right of return? all non starters. arabs know this because they don't want peace. Jerusalem is the eternal undivided capital of the Jews. 67 borders-they had them until they lost a war they started in 67. right or return? their own arab brothers don't want them and keep them in refugee camps.
12. elke! kassam rockets
Jerome ,   AKL   (07.24.13)
Each kassam rocket fired is an act of terror. Redo the maths, but not in a pro arab method.
13. Enough B.S. talks. Treat "Palestinians" as enemies.
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.24.13)
Enough B.S. "peace talks with Palestinians" which result in massive Israeli casualties and are intended to turn Israel into a 9 mile wide concentration camp. "Palestinians" are our mortal foes and Israel needs to treat them as such. As Churchill treated the Nazis.
14. now i am convinced!
les ,   canada   (07.24.13)
israel has an honest, peace loving, truthful, willing negotiating partner whom wants to live in harmony and cooperation with israelis....or am i missing a point here :))
15. Palestinians: If not trying to kill Jews- Killing each other
NudNik69   (07.24.13)
16. Starwman #2
Ilan ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (07.24.13)
Nice try! Prosor said "Attacks" not fatalities! in your logic, if there is no fatality, its not considered an attack? Ohhh man, i just got it! oh okay, so launching rockets at people is okay as long as no one is killed? oh well i can see why you hate us, our rockets actually hit stuff!
17. Prelude to " peace talks "
tom ,   new york   (07.24.13)
Israel should rescind it's offer of releasing any prisoners , and vote on a death penalty.
18. #13 - Are you sure that Israel can survive a fight
spyguy ,   seattle   (07.24.13)
to the death that you envision? Where will Israel get the resources for massive war? Are you sure that the US will provide them when they are deeply cutting their own military? Are you sure that even a fraction of your fellow Israelis want to be in the middle of a massive war? Basically all you rabid belligerence will just cause the end of Israel. Is that what you really want? BTW - Israel can never be a concentration camp (unlike Gaza) because most Israelis have sufficient wealth and skills to easily move out of Israel.
19. #6 - The Torah has no legal standing
spyguy ,   seattle   (07.24.13)
Religious documents have no say in secular matters. Try that argument in most of the world and you will be laughed out of the room.
20. #2 Palestinian terror
Benji ,   US   (07.24.13)
Palestinan terror attacks have continued but Israel's ability to prevent fatalities has improved. It's particularly hard to report Palestinian fatalities when you refer to biased, anti-Israel sites that neglect to report most of the fatalities occured when Palestinians were involved in hostilities such as launching rockets, throwing molotov cocktails, rock/knife attacks and approaching the security fence.
21. It is about time
Steve Love ,   USA   (07.24.13)
You are right Jennifer. It is about time to take instructions from Torah and the Mighty ONE. Then everything will fall in place. We cannot be afraid of the outside forces. We must be obedient to "HASHEM". If we do not let HIM down HE will never let us down. Praise HIS holy name! God bless
22. OK accept 9-mile wide country, accept massive war as result
NudNik69   (07.24.13)
So Israel ends up cornered into an even smaller place back to weakened borders which everyone took advantage of. The enemies will of course attempt again to destroy Israel. This time, yet another war - massive. Wholesale destruction. No winners, but 'Palestinians' even bigger losers - you can be very sure of that. Nobody left to "protest".
23. Forked tongue
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.24.13)
"Mansour said although the Palestinian leadership had not set preconditions to resume negotiations, the basis for any talks would be the '67 borders, Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine and solving the refugee problem" Those sound an awful lot like (unacceptable) preconditions to me ....
24. @ #2 - Tinfoil hat lady...
M. Davison ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (07.24.13)
Anyone believing the "information" on "ifamericansonlyknow" is probably a fan of "theangryarab" and the "electronicintifada". There is very little relationship between truth and these three sites. Are you disappointed that your team is so inefficient that they have little or no success in killing Israelis? When you quote Palestinian casualties of any kind, you have to filter out those caused by home accidents, road accidents, natural causes and terrorist work accidents, since the Palestinian human rights groups include all these in their casualty lists "caused by the oppressive occupation". They even included Wafa el-Biri, the girl who was horribly burned in a kitchen accident at home caused by a faulty gas cylinder "imported" from Egypt through the smuggling tunnels who tried to bomb Soroka Hospital in Beer Sheva, the hospital that gave her back her face and her life. Lies only impress the gullible. Normal people try to find the truth by going to a variety of sources.
25. Syria slaughters and not a mention of war crimes!1
Brett L ,   JHB RSA   (07.24.13)
Israel builds and we are accused of committing war crimes. If it wasnt so sad it would be funny. If it were me id take the building every day. A pity, but our "partners" in peace do this instead of shutting up and fostering good relations, which they obviuosly do not want!!
26. to number 19 i think you are forgetting
Barney ,   USA   (07.24.13)
about the billions of muslims who kill each other and infidels based on the legality of their koran. you won't get laughed out of the room when you go against the koran you will get lashes, your hand cut off, hung, or other 7th century barbaric delights.
27. #19
PaulD ,   Jerusalem   (07.24.13)
You are right, the argument will bring scorn and mocking from the degenerate world. BUT, has hiding the facts, and engaging in the false and untruthful dialogue adopted by the UN, been successful? 50 years ago would anyone have believed that the world conversation would be about Jewish crimes, and the abundant lies of the Arabs with the emergence of the 4th Reich in the Islamic world? Jews are in Israel, have always been in Israel, because this is their homeland, as described in the oldest land deed in the world, the Torah. Arabs know that very well.
28. the many battles faced by Israel
Sam Sweiry ,   Eastbourne UK   (07.24.13)
the ugly face of the Palestinians show its true colour - Israel face many battles on the ground and the world devided opinion - Israel have the will and the courage to win every battle - it take time but at the end - Israel will win
29. 23 Sarah B USA/Israel, they are pre-conditions
CJK   (07.24.13)
now they also say that any agreement will be temporary, i.e., a hudna.
30. palis kill children in syria, I think that is a war crime
ghostq   (07.24.13)
building is not a war crime.
