1. Democratic: 'not a single Israeli' in Palestine
Larry ,   LA (formerly)   (07.30.13)
what a great pluralistic democratic society the Arabs can run and yet NO human rights group says gornisht about this! Guess human rights is only a euphemism for antisemitism.
2. Apartheid State
Haya ,   Bat Yam   (07.30.13)
Wonder what the reaction was to the statement that they want 'palestine' to be an apartheid state. (Yawn)
3. Islamic apartheid
Beary White ,   Norway   (07.30.13)
Abu mazen once again raise his islamic apartheid flag. As all other islamic countries, first they expell or kill all jewish people, then christians and other religions are in line. The deadly ideology of the islamic cult should NEVER be negoitated with.
4. Abbas is illegitimate
Aharon ,   Jerusalem israel   (07.30.13)
Go have elections and then come back and tell us what is legitimate and what is illegitimate. Abbas would barely get 5% in palestinian elections. He represents nobody! Israel doesnt owe you anything and we don't need you, YOU NEED US. Let's turn off the electricity that you steal from Israeli taxpayers. The palestinians are a welfare state consisting mostly of jihadis and illiterate village dwellers, with just few normal people here or there. And we are supposed to meet your ridiculous demands??? Or what? You'll go to the UN? Israel needs to show strength and not back down.
5. Give me a state, he demands, in the heart of the Hebrew/
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (07.30.13)
Israeli/Jewish people's ancestral homeland, but be sure that the state remains "cleansed" of its Hebrew/Israeli/Jewish residents. Expel all of them, from the youngest to the oldest, lest the homeland of the Hebrew/Israeli/Jewish people will be stained by their presence. And, at the same time be sure that our "Arian" Muslim-Arabs continue to dwell in the liberal democratic and sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people, some 20% of the total population, and make room for millions more that we expect to "return" to it from territories in the north, south, east and west. And, this is the "moderate" man with whom some claim we can live peacefully. Who are we kidding...??!!
6. Palestine Free Israel
Nathan ,   Raanana, Israel   (07.30.13)
I guess that also means no Palestinians (or Arabs) would be allowed to stay in Israel?
7. We would like to see no Arabs in Israel too
an Israeli   (07.30.13)
Great idea - let's transfer the Arabs who live inside Israel to the future Palestinian state. How about that Abbas?
8. NO PROBLEM
aharon ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.30.13)
You want no Israelis on palestinian (whatever that is) land? No problem... You have no land! Nor or you ever likely to have more than Jordan... The only land given to arabs by the League of Nations in 1922.
9. I agree !
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.30.13)
But we have first to see how this "palestine" will look . It must NOT include Yeroushalaim , Beth El , the gush Etzion , Ariel , Jordan valley , and so on . And if he wants this , let him also forget about the return of any so called refugee to Israel
10. EXAMPLE OF ETHNIC CLEANSING!
R ,   Israel   (07.30.13)
DESCRIMINATION IN THE MAKING! and the world encourages this while blaming Israel for the same thing when they don't do this!!
11. How many Palestinians do Pals demand go into Israel?
Sam ,   Canada   (07.30.13)
Palestinians don't want a single Jew but they want to flood Israel with Palestinians. Not going to happen.
12. Abbas is little more than a would-be thieving clown
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (07.30.13)
13. But calling Israel a Jewish state is racist
Avi Ze'ev ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.30.13)
The world is upside down.
14. No more Arabs in Israel
Ron ,   oc us   (07.30.13)
I think there are some possibilities. No more Jews in the Pal state and no Arabs in the Jew state. I'll go for that.
15. Kind of "Racist" isn't it ?
Roland Seener ,   London England   (07.30.13)
16. I am so proud of Abu Mazen...
BBSNews ,   Santa Fe, New Mexico   (07.30.13)
...What a principled stand he has taken. And all based on international law and UN resolutions. Mahmoud Abbas has turned out to be the leader that so many thought he could not be. The Palestinians can be proud.
17. NO ISRAELI PRESENCE
Robert ,   Israel   (07.30.13)
I would presume that Abbas will also order, as precondition, that all Palestinians living "abroad", to leave their "miserable" lives behind, altogether with their nice houses, cars, excellent schools, and health programs and go to live in their new homeland. That would be fair. No Israelis in Palestinian land; no Palestinians in Israeli land. A great country is forged when their nationals go to live and work in their own piece of land instead of considering themselves persecuted minorities in foreign countries. And this is something we Jews know well from our own experience.
18. Not one muslim in a jewish state
Ralph ,   Caesarea   (07.30.13)
It is time to switch the population.
19. The Settlers are newly arrived illegal aliens
Lynx ,   Palestine   (07.30.13)
Their illegal immigration into occupied lands was in contravention to international law. Palestinian in Arabs, however, were in living on their lands for centuries prior to the Nakba. So cry me a river!
20.  Apartheid By definition
Galut ia ,   Selah   (07.30.13)
and after they gain this ...they will find a way to Get the rest of israel ... this will simply be seen as a HUDNA
21. Judenrein Comments from Anti apartheid League and ANC
Martin SA   (07.30.13)
Judenrein - Comments from Anti apartheid League and the ANC.
22. But they will demand that Israel accepts everyone.
Jo   (07.30.13)
Apartheid is rife in Palestine and it will be run like one. Hypocritical.
23. it's just a vision
rm ,   Amsterdam NL   (07.30.13)
just like rightwing Israeli's dream of a mass transfer of the entire Arab population to Jordan. And the Israeli's living in the Westbank have outstayed their welcome when they started behaving the way they did....
24. what israeli jew would want to live in an arab state?!
CJK   (07.30.13)
this is the reason why the borders of israel must encompass all jewish areas in judea and samaria.
25. Perfectly legitimate
Nir ,   Ramat Hasharon   (07.30.13)
I see no problem whatsoever. The Palestinians have suffered for generations from Israeli tyranny, it is only natural that they would like to clean themselves of our presence, just like European countries invaded by Germany expelled their German populations after the second world war in fear that they would continue abusing their position in the future. Avraham Shalom, former Shin Bet chief compared Israeli actions in Palestine to German actions in Belgium, Netherlands etc.. Who am I to contradict him.. if anyone knows the situation to detail it´s him.
26. They are saying goodbye to the "right of return".
Roberto Gutierrez ,   Madrid, Spain   (07.30.13)
If Abbas doesn't want a single Israeli (I think he meant "Jew") in the future Palestinian state, Israelis are likely not to want a single Palestinian Arab in Israel. It's probably the best thing to do. If you go for "two states for two peoples", it would be strange for any Palestinian Arab to settle down in Israel. Otherwise we would be talking about a binational state. I'm really not sure whether Palestinian leadership wants a state of their own or not, their statements are so contradictory.
27. Abbas is doing his level best ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.30.13)
.... to torpedo the "negotiations." Of course, Israel could counter by saying -- "Well, we feel exactly the same way" -- and then deport each and every ersatz "Palestinian" in Israel to Ramallah. He's playing a dangerous game, is Abbas. Time to jettison Hussein Obama's crack pipe dream, annex Judea and Samaria, and repatriate the ersatz "Palestinians" to Jordan. Or Gaza. Including the ones in Israel. I keep telling all of you -- two can play this game. Oh, we'll go back to 1967 borders. Those of June 10, 1967. Sucks to start and lose a war, doesn't it?
28. West Bank is 100% Israeli territory!
Dr Eric   (07.30.13)
Every Israeli must proclaim loud and clear that the entire West Bank is Israeli Territory Legally and Morally. Legally the San Remo Convention of 1922 ratifien by the entire League of Nations defined the entire area from the river to the sea as the homeland of the Jewish people . The Arabs received Syria, Iraq, Arabia and even Trans Jordan! The only solution is The Bennet Plan!! Israeli areasA and parts of B must be annexed to Israel! area C can have autonmy but Israel must maintain full security control of the entire area from the river to the sea.
29. a matter of (no) opinion
tiki ,   belgium   (07.30.13)
''Palestinians'' openly declare their apartheid politics! They continue (while 'talking peace) issuing hate & incitement through their media and Mr. Kerry, the representative of the free world world, looks, listens & smiles & smiles & smiles. Fools always smile!
30. #11 Sam
Friend of Hezbollah ,   Lebanon   (07.30.13)
All Palestinians that were illegally driven away from their homes SHOULD go back...
