Facism/Racism- When one race hates another race either based on feeling of superiority while the other race does not have any ill will towards the other race. First of all we have no problem living in co existence we were all created by G-d and we were all created as people (not as dogs or monkeys). Secondly, you refuse to see others as equals. The jewish people have been around for 4,000 years and we will be around for thousands more.
32. Peace With Two States Or Apartheid With One
World Citizen ,   the world   (02.20.14)
Either form one secular (non-Jewish) state with equal rights and opportunities for all people or move back to the 1949-1967 border and allow Palestinians all rights of state including sea and air access. Leave the occupied Golan Heights and Shebaa Farms areas. Compensate Palestinians robbed of their land and homes in 1948. I think it is too late for any settlers to stay in Palestine. They have behaved much too badly for any sympathy from the Palestinians. Those are the choices. The problem is as long as Netanyahu and the Israel from the Nile-to-the-Euphrates crowd is in power Israelis won't have that choice. They are going to plow ahead with these wrong headed policies no matter what. And the end result is that it is going to be very bad for Israelis in the long haul.
33. For Israel, it's all about the population figures
George Weiss ,   Teaneck USA   (02.20.14)
This article is part of a well orchestrated campaign to Pressure israel to allow creation of a palestinian state. The analysis and conclusions are completely false. Demographic predictions are gighly unreliable. What is known with more certainty are the dangers to Israe this would create.
34. It is time for an alternative solution...
FireJeff ,   Jerusalem   (02.20.14)
It is time to propose a pragmatic solution which would solve definitly the security and demographic threat. Israel should reinstall PA Arabs who live in Judea & Samaria into a thrid country (like Jordan) or into israeli land close to Gaza...
35. UN population Numbers higher than British numbers
David N. ,   Haifa, ISRAEL   (02.20.14)
The UN population figures are very flawed. Much higher than contemporary British Mandate figures. The British, then, also acknowledged the large influx of Arabs BECAUSE of Jewish settlement and progress.
36. To ethel , ny us
Norman ,   Boca Raton / USA   (02.20.14)
"Will america give away california because there are more spanish than anglos" Why should they? Plus both the US and UK extend full civil rights and eventually citizenship to all it residents,without fear of being voted out of existence. Silly comparison.
37. Demographics Are Problematic World Opinion Is Critical
World Citizen ,   the world   (02.21.14)
And right now Israel's image is in tatters. The fact is your country deserves it. Israel can't hide its transgressions behind the screen of victim-hood any longer. Your problem is that Israel as a nation is being led into a desert by the right-wing war mongers and people who stand to make millions selling land stolen from the Palestinians. The sad thing is the average sabra isn't going to gain one Euro. In fact you are going to lose because the BDS Movement is not going away no matter how much money your government spends on public relations. It is growing and it is going to hurt all Israelis economically. It's time for a change.
