1. According to you and your ilk
Al   (10.11.13)
The Jews of Israel are to cloister themselves into the Ghettos of TA, drink at the cafes of Shenkin and call it a day. I have news or you. Were the Jews of 48 the same as you there would never have been a State. Ben Gurion had the balls..you are nothing more than the ghetto Jews of old.
2. Walking on eggs
Ron ,   oc us   (10.11.13)
Walking on eggs won't stop the Pals or hamas, jihad, etc., from the murder of Jews. Arrest and deportation is more likely to do the trick because fear will not.
3. Fine. Let the animals go nuts. Then Israel has a reason to..
Eliezer ,   Israel   (10.11.13)
deal with its terrorists just like Syria did.... They go nuts? We clean out and take over the whole West Bank.
4. Answer is glaringly obvious: end the occupation!
Rachel Rabin ,   TA, Israel   (10.11.13)
No need to examine deeply or ponder at complex scenarios. We must end the occupation and have peace with the Palestinians in their own state. Otherwise, we will perish as a Jewish Democratic state.
5. The PLO was born when there was no 'occupation'
jdl   (10.11.13)
of Judea and Samaria. Any hope that giving up Judea and Samaria will bring peace is a serious error, contradictory to historical reality.
6. Occupation?
Elliot ,   USA   (10.11.13)
Israel ended the 'occupation' of Gaza and got war in return. When will leftist Jews understand this? Maybe they don't want to.....
7. ben yishai
marcel   (10.11.13)
why is hamas quiet with egypt. Because they are scared **itless of eygpt's response. With guys like ben yishai, peres type pacifists, palestinian terror elements have nothing to worry about. if palestinians feared israeli respnse like that of egypt,t hen they would be more careful.. Abbas, ereket and rabbo need a horsewhipping to straighten them out and if not,t hey should be dropped back to tunis. ben yishai typifies the weak jews peres strain which is causinig israel no end of loss of deterrence. Even gantz is too reflective. these 5 arabs arrested should spill the beans on who sent them or be shot on the spot. iisraelis continue to be stupid in electing pacfists like yechamiovtich, gal on, or deluded journalist like lapid whose father was an olmert enable and asskisser. I conclude you are stupid collectively. Hire a leadership that wants to control its own security and takes care of business not this shmutz that says oh abbas is good-jesus!
8. Rabin's daughter #4 has the right answer!!
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (10.11.13)
End the occupation of the Middle East Infidel lands by the murderous Arab hordes, kick all of them back to their Mecca homeland and the region will know Peace and stability.
9. Violence is inevitable.Pals leave no way out of conflict.
Sam ,   Canada   (10.11.13)
If Israel won't turn over the country to Palestinians by diplomacy then Palestinians will turn to violence to try and get it. There is no change in this status just Palestinians trying to con the US, EU and liberal Jews into giving them the West Bank as a starter for virtually nothing in return. The violence doesn't stop until Israel gives them a big wack and then there is another truce.
10. "lite" intifada
Jacob E ,   Holon, Israel   (10.11.13)
Who are they kidding, pretty much anytime that isn't a full blown intifada is a "lite" intifada. Even if they create a palestinian state there will still be a lite intifada until those who don't know when to quit are dead. But they just keep educating new generations to be like that. I don't think there will be another large scale intifada because they know there will be large scale casualties on their part. This lite intifada they've been doing serves their purposes perfectly.
11. Violence is inevitable.Pals leave no way out of conflict.

12. Israel didn't end occupation of Gaza
ALEX ,   USA   (10.11.13)
the truth is that Israel didn't end of occupation of Gaza. Israel pulled their tanks and troops from Gaza and kept Gaza in siege "different kind of occupation but less cost" .of course Israel did that not for the sake of peace , but running out from Hamas resistance. yes true that Israel has tried everything until now...war crimes, massacres and also running out from some zones. which of course non of them was successful to keep the security of Israel. but unfortunately till now Israel didn't try the most efficient and easy way which is ending occupation based on fair and just agreement with the Palestinians.
13. #1 Al
(10.11.13)
And if the Jews in '48 were the same as YOU, Al in CANADA, would there be a state called Israel?? Some people should better shut the fukc up.
14. good to hear wise voices such like you for there
Mohammad ,   State of Palestine   (10.11.13)
as i read some of the Israelis comments i astonished from the amount of racist and hate in some of them. so i said i have to thank you for your wise simple phrases. unfortunately Israel tried everything with Palestinians, wars, crimes, massacres and also some times running out from some zones claiming that was ending of occupation. but unfortunately till now Israel not able to try the most efficient and easiest way to end the conflict. which is simply ending of occupation based on JUST and FAIR agreement with Palestinians. each day we see this wise Netanyahu with his genius ideas not to end occupation but to manage it in order to it keep the conflict for ages, i am sure he is waiting the Messiah who will rest him from all Arabs and even all the world nations :)
15. #8 not mine.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (10.12.13)
16. #4. "Palestinians" occupy Judea/Samaria.
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.12.13)
Judea and Samaria have belonged to Jews for more than 3,500 years. The land is full of Jewish artifacts and buildings from thousands of years ago. The truth about Israeli ownership of Judea and Samaria is so indisputable that nobody, including "Palestinians", will even debate the matter. End the occupation of Judea and Samaria by "Palestinian" poseurs.
17. The ghetto jew strikes again
Philippe ,   Raanana   (10.12.13)
You end your usual silliness writing with " let's hope for the best ".Laughing out loud ! You and your ilk are the one responsible for this 20 year long war of attrition wich began in Oslo.You still " hope for the best " after 20 years have proven over and over again that you are wrong ! Ben Ishai you are just a fossilized leftist, get your acts together , leave Israel for Denmark or else.
18. #13
Al   (10.12.13)
You don't know me and what my family has done for Israel over the past 65 years. In other words piss the hell off.
19. By calling it the West Bank you are contributing
Zev ,   Israel   (10.13.13)
to the claim that it is all right to murder those Jews that live there.
