3. A very, very generous offer by Netanyahu
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (01.06.14)
Now if we could only wean the "Pals" off their addiction to foreign aide and actually desire a state of their own, we'd be able to get to square 1.
4. THIS LOOKS MORE LIKE A 'PIECE' DEAL
stude ham   (01.06.14)
Israel is to give up huge swatches of the lands it controls for the sake of what? if you said peace you're as much of a fool as the former Israeli gaza dealers.
5. Only jews & english offer to give away
america First   (01.06.14)
land they don't have any legal ownership.
6. Doubtful
William ,   Israel   (01.06.14)
The Wadi Ara region is south of Haifa and very close to the coastline. It would bisect the State between the Coastal region and Galilee. It's not only a dumb move geographically but in that area there are many Druze and they are good for Israel. If you want to get rid of nasty Arabs, start with Umm Al-Faqm, where residents there often aid Pally terrorists because they are basically close relatives. That would also remove a few inciteful Arab Mks too so its a win-win.
7. Maybe Netanyahu is willing...
M. Davison ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (01.06.14)
But then, so was Ehud Barak, in 2000... until the residents of the Wadi Ara towns weighed in with their opinion--which was negative in the extreme. In short, the Wadi Ara Arabs had no desire whatsoever to become Palestinian citizens un der a Palestinian government. Doesn't it make you think: "What do they know that Kerry doesn't?"

Uhm-el Fahem is in wadi ara, and wadi ara is south of haifa but it's all close to the border not near the coast line.
9. Be careful Mr. PM
Sams ,   Lagos   (01.06.14)
Pls Netayahu, you have got to be careful so you don't get the wrath of God. Seek God's face on this, you cant go wrong when you seek His face. God will make himself available to you. God bless Israel.

Ginette Golden ,   Toronto, Canada   (01.06.14)

14. land for peace
Benny Medlen ,   Huntsville USA   (01.06.14)
This land was given to Israel by Almighty God, If I was the PM of Israel I would think twice before I turn away from what God has commanded.
15. #11 Did they ask the Arabs?
Michael Redbourn ,   Lisbon Portugal   (01.06.14)
The Arabs in this area frequently emphasize that their towns are not part of Israel. In 2009 there were demonstrations when Jews wanted to hold a march through the area and the mayor of the mayor of Um al-Fahm said, "We forbid you to march OUR towns". You can find it if you search for the following. "Ahmed Jabarin, who was a child when Israel was formed, was less charitable. "This is our land," he said. "We live in Israel because they conquered it. But we don't have to like it". They want to have their bread and to eat it to". They like getting all the social benefits that Israel provides but don't want to be Israeli".

You do realize you live in the US as well.
18. # 14 The crux of the matter Sir.
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (01.07.14)
The land is NOT to be prostituted, sullied, corrupted, traded or even shared with Gentiles of other faiths any of that defiles the land. It is Holy unto the G-d and HIs chosen people of Israel, the Jews. We were instructed NOT to allow other faiths to dwell in Zion = Israel. We should listen and obey. If not, do we pay in blood and pain.. KEEP BUILDING!!!
19. # 15 Update
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (01.07.14)
Now those same 'pals' refuse to leave Israel or, to become 'pals' in a 'pal' state.. So, which is it, cake, bread, bread of tears? Or, just more BS from a non people whose fictional charade has outlived its usefulness and has been agonizingly prolonged for no reason except to promote terror, lies, genocide on their own 'pals' at the expense of Israel? Up theirs! KEEP BUILDING !!!!
20. # 12 Chris, blind ambition does that
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (01.07.14)

21. # 11 Israeli Arabs DON"T want to move to 'palestine'
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (01.07.14)
they know it doesn't exist. So do we.
22. #5 law evolves to protect
On the Balcony   (01.09.14)
the plunderers and their plunder from being plundered by someone else. This is why International law evolved over the last century to promote the "right of self-determination" and prohibit the acquisition of territory by military force. You could argue that Israel was reborn a few decades too late but the laws DO make sense ...
