1. And Yitzhak Rabin said exactly the same thing
Jake   (02.13.14)
in his last speech to the Knesset, 5 Oct., 1995: "We view the permanent solution in the framework of State of Israel which will include most of the area of the Land of Israel as it was under the rule of the British Mandate, and alongside it a Palestinian entity which will be a home to most of the Palestinian residents living in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. We would like this to be an entity which is less than a state, and which will independently run the lives of the Palestinians under its authority. The borders of the State of Israel, during the permanent solution, will be beyond the lines which existed before the Six Day War. We will not return to the 4 June 1967 lines. And these are the main changes, not all of them, which we envision and want in the permanent solution: A. First and foremost, united Jerusalem, which will include both Ma'ale Adumim and Givat Ze'ev -- as the capital of Israel, under Israeli sovereignty, while preserving the rights of the members of the other faiths, Christianity and Islam, to freedom of access and freedom of worship in their holy places, according to the customs of their faiths. B. The security border of the State of Israel will be located in the Jordan Valley, in the broadest meaning of that term. C. Changes which will include the addition of Gush Etzion, Efrat, Beitar and other communities, most of which are in the area east of what was the "Green Line," prior to the Six Day War. D. The establishment of blocs of settlements in Judea and Samaria, like the one in Gush Katif."
2. Best of the Worst
Zechariah   (02.13.14)
It may be the best of the worst policies because all Policies will be Worse .The Jews did not vote in the DHIMMI system od security and Immigration the Arabs won't vote on security and immigration in Israel.Moreover when they had the Power the Islam blocked Jewish escape from Genocide.
3. Yes one state
Sam ,   Kfar saba   (02.13.14)
With an Arab majority.
4. Apartheid Forever!
Sasha   (02.14.14)
George Wallace failed in the Deep South and these bigots will not do much better. As the 2SS becomes officially dead, the popcorn will flow!
5. PS
Birdi ,   Israel   (02.14.14)
15.000 defient Jews took part in the protest march.
6. 1 Country, 2 States, Palestine Israel, PI, 6M Jews, 9M Arabs
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (02.14.14)
7. this article
Irwin Z. ,   Miami, Fl., USA   (02.14.14)
I agree 1000%, groveling, keeping low profiles, etc. has brought us nothing but grief over the centuries. This was and is, and always will be the Jewish homeland.
8. Traitors
Daniel   (02.13.14)
Every day, Jewish Home undermines Israel. Yesterday they marched out on one of Israel's strongest international supports. They intentionally painted Israel as a nation of crazy extremists in the eyes of 99% of the world, just to score some points with their own fanatic voters. Today, they are marching for a state that in the end would have to grant all Arabs the vote, meaning the end of the Jewish state in 20 years at the most. These people are either so blinded by fanaticism that they don't realize what they are doing, or intentional traitors intent on destroying Israel.
9. Victorious?
(02.13.14)
Forget boycotts etc. What if you are "victorious", and you keep all that land. What about the 4 million people with no passports on that land? I never heard any clear plans from the extreme right about what to do with them? Do you want to give them Israeli passports? Do you want to keep them without passports forever? Do you want to convince them to go away? Do you want to keep them here, but give them someone else's passport? Indonesian? Did you ask those people if they agree to all that? Do you want to force is on them? Bennett said something on Bloomberg about just keeping the 4 million people in the cities. I hate the comparison of Israel to South Africa, but Bennett's plan is just a copy of the Bantustan idea. Most of the extreme right just prefer not to think about this, hiding the head in the sand, or just hoping that God will take care of the people if we take care of the land. BTW, why not the other way around? Maybe God will take care of the land if you take care of people? You keep talking about danger, but denial is not the best tactic to address danger
10. That's fine by me
Yeoshua F. ,   N.Y   (02.13.14)
One state between the Jordan river and the sea, sounds good. 4.3 million Palestinians will be given Israeli citizenship, where they would contribute greatly to the economy, industry and of course.. gastronomics. I see no problem here, I do not feel threatened by people with a beard or head scarf. Extremists on both sides will be put in prison or expelled. No more corrupt vandals who burn mosques. That's the Israel I would like to see and would be glad to live in.
11. Quite Correct
Paul ,   Kenya   (02.14.14)
Its all Jewish land & must remain so.
12. The people of Israel have spoken.Did anybody
olim hadashim ,   tel aviv/israel   (02.13.14)
not hear it clearly ?
13. Jerusalem
(02.14.14)
Will forever be Palestine.
14. OUR country, not theirs!
milwaukeebroad ,   Haifa, Israel   (02.13.14)
John Kerry go home! We Jews will build wherever we please. The Palestinians can live elsewhere if they don't like it. It's OUR country, not theirs!
15. The people have spoken
Rabbi Yakov Lazaros ,   USA   (02.13.14)
Now lets hope that Netanyahu gets the message.
16. Divide land or Jerusalem=Civil War and burning down the EU
Jewish Warrior   (02.13.14)
embassies!
17. yay.
Birdi ,   Israel is ours.   (02.14.14)
Kol ha kavod to all the brave Jewish Israelis who marched for our land, for the non-division of Jerusalem & for our rights to build on our own land. Thank you. I wish I could have accompanied you on this historic protest march. Am Israel Chai.
18. #10 Palestinians contribute to economy?
(02.14.14)
Based on the experience in Gaza? Or in Jenin? Or in Lebanon or in Syria? " I do not feel threatened by people with a beard or head scarf" No? Then go to Syria and see if they cut off your head while you're still alive, or they feel sorry for you and shoot you first
19. #12 spoken in elections you mean?
(02.14.14)
The hundreds marching on roads are nothing compared to millions in elections
20. #13 Palestine
(02.14.14)
will always be a missed opportunity that never happened because of fanatics like you
21. What the One State solution entails.
Seth ,   Island Falls, USA   (02.14.14)
The world will not tolerate Racism, even Zionist Racism. Israel-Palestine must have equal rights for all its citizens. No more Jewish Privilege in any facet of life. Equal Rights of Return. Equal access to property. The right to marry in Palestine-Israel anyone who wants to marry you. The One State solution is the best. Any who oppose any of its inevitable consequences are Racists and will be shunned and justly boycotted by all decent moral persons across the globe. One suspects that those demonstrating, however, have no intentions of being anything other than hateful, thieving Racists. The One State solution demands a nation of all its citizens. It cannot be a Jewish nation. And that is good.
22. an arab state with settlements our gift to next generation
zionist forever   (02.14.14)
Name change for the country & change of national symbols. Changing street names probably, can't have most the streets are named after Jews & certainly not zionists in a binational state. No Jewish state = no alliyah Probably an end to the hebrew language use. No other country uses hebrew everybody in the region uses arabic so lets save schools money make arabic the official language of state leave hebrew to prays. The demographics would overnight make Jews a minority, no more alliyah to boost the numbers & arabs have more children than secular Jews. Governments led by Jews would probably be a rare occurrence because the arabs would vote arab parties with Jewish vote split between different non arab parties so arabs always win. The country will be ruled by arabs, look like an arab state officially and on the streets all because some morons are obsessed with settlement building. So far its been to politically risky or Israel left or foreign governments to back the idea but if the right are marching for a single state then why the hell should they, they always liked the idea but it wasn't a vote winner.
23. NEVER DEVIDE JERUSALEM
Scott Hubachek ,   Fenton, USA   (02.14.14)
Isreal should never give any of Jerusalem away to a state that never existed. One Jerusalem, One Isreal. Jerusalem needs to be the Capital of the Only State, Isreal.
