2. Let them!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.07.14)
Now, all they'll have to do is find someone stupid enough to give them some land upon which to build their "state." Not going to be Israel. Certainly not going to be Judea and Samaria, because it will have been annexed by Israel by then, and its Arab population repatriated to Jordan. Guess it's down to Jordan ... or Gaza.
3. No other nation will have a state in Israel
Lemmings Hotline ,   sd usa   (04.07.14)
"For My angel will go before you and bring you in to the land of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hivites and the Jebusites; and I will completely destroy them." Exodus 23:23. The Malbim says that Hashem destroyed their angels as well. That means no angel no cohesive force, no sustenance, no nation. History proves this truth. No nation has ever been established in the land of Israel since they were originally exiled in Samuel's time and King David's time.
4. Falastyn threats...
yosef, phd ,   florida - israel   (04.07.14)
...Let them address all the "world" bodies, such as they are. Some people enjoy masturbating in public - a common fun...
5. Those warmongers need to recognize Israel as a Jewish state
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (04.07.14)
6. Go Mahmud Abbas ; do your worse
(04.07.14)
7. a fascinating coincidence
CJK   (04.07.14)
very shortly after abbas met with obama in washington dc, he started his crucade to join international organisations. one wonders what obama told him--did obama give hime tacit approval to go ahead with joining international and un organisations, or is abbas diregarding completely obama's wishes. whatever the case might be, obama has turned himself into a pawn of the arabs.
8. "The palestinian authority"
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn, Holland   (04.07.14)
Always demanding, complaining and accusing the other party, without doing something constructive themselves, since 1948. Israel forever and always, with Jerusalem as capital!
9. peace for peace
morris   (04.07.14)
in return for recognition of israel as nation state of the jewish people, israeli sovereign control over judean and samarian ridges and jordan valley, and no return of even 1 PLo refugee to israel proper, israel will agree to an entity called palestine with no armed forces, no air force, and no import export independence. israel would then agree to live in peace.Otherwise israel will annex the west bank period and no one including USA and britain can do a thing about it militarily unless england wants to take on the idf in which they would lose. Ultimately, whenfeiglin enters the picture, oslo will be formally rescinded and the tunis gang will be taken out of ramallah entirely, completely and quietly.
10. Let Them Declare a State
Gershon ,   Canada   (04.07.14)
with whatever border they want. Then Israel can declare the new Israeli state with whatever border we want. Let's see who state survives.
11. Status Quo is over, PA "doomsday weapon"...Israel war crimes
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (04.07.14)
...prosecution at ICC.
12. Abbas thinks that he is very smart
CJK   (04.07.14)
in fact, abbas fails to understand that israel is a sovereign state whereas the arab palestinians are a group led by terrorists. even if the arab palestinians should be admitted to the un if obama withholds american veto, such a state would remain virtual.
13. Israel vs Arab PA Islamist-Jihadists
Brod ,   USA   (04.07.14)
Israel should counter the lies of the Arab PA Islamist-Jihadists to the world. Tell the world that the Land of Israel belongs to the Children of Israel since 4000 years. Use the Bible, Biblical Archaeology and History to educate the world about the Land of Israel. Arab Islamist-Jihadist marauders, usurpers and occupiers sprouted from the Arabian Desert in the 7th century. It is time to fight and defeat them in the Battle of Ideas and the World's Media.
14. But They Have no Government
emanon ,   USA   (04.07.14)
Forget the land issue, there are multiple groups claiming to speak for the arabs. PLO, Fatah, Hamas, Muslim Brother hood, among others, *ALL* claim they are the voice of the people. You cannot have a country until there is one group designated to lead the country. As T. E Lawrence observerd, nearly a cemtury ago, the arabs cannot agree on who their leaders are, only who they are against.
15. Status Quo is over, Israel "doomsday weapon"...PA war crimes
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (04.07.14)
16. You were warned
Harri ,   EU   (04.07.14)
Everyone told you that Palestinians will go to UN if you keep playing games with Palestinians and US negotiators. Stop playing games and start real negotiations and everything will be fine eventually. Nobody has ever seen such an irresponsible behavior during negotiations like some of your ministers have presented for Kerry. You have unbelievable stuff out there.
17. I think it good Palestinians are going to UN
Steve Klein   (04.07.14)
We know this will happen sooner or later. Why not sooner than later? Every nation will have to decide where they stand in these critical times when the global jihad is on the march here in the west. Israel is on the front lines of this global battle. Will the nations stand with civilization or will they stand with barbarism? As it now stands, the international community largely considers Jews living in their / our historic land, in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, ect., illegitimate (illegal) when it is perfectly legal. So much for justice, morals and ethics. Israel will survive. Israel survived a punitive arms embargo imposed by the United States throughout the nineteen fifties. Israel will survive this as well.
18. #11 Status Quo over, PA doomsday weapon: switzerland
(04.07.14)
No one wants to give them money, Hamas and Jihad are sharpening their swords. Abbas moves to Switzerland
19. 5,15, not mine.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (04.07.14)
20. Peace?
Irving ,   USA   (04.07.14)
Why bother? From 1948 till 1967 Arabs were in complete control of disputed territories. Don't know of ONE attempt By pals or surrounding war participants That called for a country for pals. Only that Israel the nation state of Jews shouldn't exist. Once they get over their DNA hate of Jews they actually may get a country of their own that their own Muslim brothers repeatingly deny them.
21. Shurat HaDin ready to go with lawsuits vs Pals
Joe Fraser   (04.07.14)
On war crimes
22. State
James ,   USA   (04.07.14)
This is land wanted by squatters that was given to Israel via treaty with Jordan due to a war. Does the terrorist organization broken into sects called the PA and Hamas want to go to war with Israel. I believe it already has and that can be shown easily enough. It is incomprehensible that Israeli leaders continue these discussions so they can be removed from a guilt complex. These Arabs know what spitting is; I think they trained my camels. As far as Livini is concerned, Arabs laugh behind her back. They have no regards for a woman. i have seen that first hand. It is time to put this regional conflict to an end before it becomes an international one. I used to admire Bibi but he shows no strength other than drawing red lines with Israeli blood. First application to the UN should result in the arrest of Abbas. Arabs will scream and do nothing. He is the same as Arafat. Everyone wants peace, but not from the grave. My mother was a great one for avoiding conflict despite persecution. It put her in the grave. I would never go peacefully into the night.
23. no. 19 - intelligent comments are never yours
(04.07.14)
24. #5, 15, are mine. I wholeheartedly approve the posts.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (04.07.14)
25. State of Palestine Redrwn Borders Same Area .
Zechariah   (04.08.14)
The State of Palestine will not Steal all of Judae and Samaria from the Jews but can take Islamic Israel square kilometre for square Kilometre .This will be mainly for Security Reasons since a Massive International Force with a large IDF and Bedoin Jordanian Contingent needs to Stabilize in the Jordan Valley and surrounds .
26. @reply to talkbacks
Matilde   (04.08.14)
If after the madrid conference (1991-1993) israelis and Palestinians signed letters of mutual recognition, why twenty years later, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked from Abbas AP to recognize the jewishness of Israel? perhaps Bibi asked this as a precondition for peace talks just because the Plo no longer exists, and that makes sense. However, newspapers were talking about palestinian "blackmail". What means the concept? I have no idea but sounds like politicians writing all kind of bullshit, FAQ: Netanyahu was blackmailing too? ;-) Thank you ynet moderator , laila tov
27. Re: #19 (My bad)....#5 is indeed mine
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (04.08.14)
28. An Easy Solution
Darren Ben John ,   Townsville Australia   (04.08.14)
Get Netanyahoo and Abbas into aroom, by themselves, with no communication with the outside world, Lock the door, and put someone neutral on the door, such as Chinese PLA soldiers. Don't let them out until there is a watertight, final agreement. BDS
29. Blackmail is a game
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.08.14)
One which the blackmailer loses. Abbas wants to think twice. It is an irrevocable step. He may well end up with nothing. Once upon a time, the United Nations, and its agencies, were held in high esteem. They no longer are. In fact, among thinking people, the United Nations is an object of much derision. So, let Abbas play his blackmail card. Israel can simply withdraw from the United Nations. No great loss for the State of Israel. And no leverage for Abbas either. Blackmail doesn't work.
30. #2 You Truly Live In A Fantasy Land
World Citizen ,   the world   (04.08.14)
Some of the statements you make are absolutely ludicrous. I do admit they make my argument that Israel is becoming a fascist state easy. But you don't even live in Israel and I am sure there are some Israelis that don't feel the same way you do. I hope so anyway for I wish the best for them. The Palestinians should press on with joining all organisations within the UN and pressing for the recognition by that body as a occupied state. This will assure that UN sanctions on Israel will be forthcoming and that officials inside your government will be most likely will be indicted by the ICC as human rights and/or war criminals. This is the thing that the Israeli government fears the most and hence the threats to Abbas and the Palestinian people.
