1. Good
ISRAEL   (08.24.14)
2. Haha
Moshe ,   Givataim   (08.24.14)
3. Israel should respond ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.24.14)
... by immediately annexing Judea and Samaria, and repatriating all Arabs illegally squatting therein to Jordan, country of their citizenship. That poison dwarf is not going to be allowed to manipulate Israel. We should arrest Abbas and try him for murder. He was, after all, one of the architects of the massacre of the eleven Israeli athletes in Munich. There is no statute of limitations on murder.
4. mahmoud abbas must wake up from this dream !
miri ,   israel   (08.24.14)
All pals should be relocated to gaza - even jordan would be much better.
5. Pie Hole full
Eric Apoe ,   Seattle WA USA   (08.24.14)
this guy is totally off his gourd …delusional mO…..what comes out of his pie hole is never a surprise …time to go back to the borders 3000 years ago
6. Oslo is officially over
Mordechai   (08.24.14)
The PLO has now announced Oslo is over. Its time for Israel to disband the PA and make it clear that the idea of Palestine is over.
7. Abbas?
(08.24.14)
This has Obama's fingerprints all over it. While Islam is on the march in Syria, Lebanon and Nigeria, wiping out millennia old cultures and peoples, Obama is neutralizing Israel, the only force able to stand up to them.
8. And this is the clown we want in charge of Gaza?
Devorah   (08.24.14)
Can you imagine the damage this murderer in a suit would do to Israel if that happened? Abbas is an enemy every bit as much as the Hamas leadership. Israel must occupy and administer Gaza if there is to be any peace at all. Gazans who don't like it can leave and go to the arab cesspool of their choice.
9. problems with the abbas plan
zionist forever   (08.24.14)
1) There are no UN resolutions saying when Israel should give up territory captured in 1967 and the UN can only push for what it has a legal mandate to to do. 2) The US, even Obama doesn't want to give up responsibility for peace process to much US prestige involved and the US is the only ones with political influence over Israel so if the Abbas plan was put before the Security Council Obama would be forced to veto and at the General Assembly level it has no legal authority. 3) Israel - there is no way any Israeli government would allow a little Napoleon like Abbas to present it with ultimatums like that, today its Abbas with this tomorrow its Iran, Saudi Arabia, Assad or Hezbollah using the same tactic to get things out of Israel. Abbas should also avoid being to hasty with the ICC because Israel can play the same game and take both the PA & Hamas to the ICC and I have a feeling Congress is going to be telling Obama to put Abbas in his place or no PA funding
10.  Mahmoud,
(08.24.14)
do you want a fixed date for an Israeli withdrawal? It's never!
11. To All Commentators
Harold ,   USA   (08.24.14)
I predict this time the US will ABSTAIN.
12. Does Abbas need Israeli " Protectia" ?
Roland ,   london England   (08.24.14)
It is not in his interests to go through with this.Israel will throw him and the rest of Fateh to the wolves financially. The screws will be tightened so that he risks an uprising for being an innefective ruler by his people. He has delivered nothing.Politics in the Middle East is never stable,and this is the time that his people will likely show they have had enough of their sufferings.It should not be therefore in his interests to 'Rock the Boat' !
13. He will get what he wants (and deserves)
(08.24.14)
Israel is alone
14. The Coupe de Grace at last: '67 Borders
DvorahTheProphetess ,   SC, USA   (08.24.14)
Anyone naive enough to actually believe that Obama will stay on Israel's side is just that: naive. This is what Obama, J-Street & leftist self-hating Jewish Americans have been wishing for over 2 decades. And O is the prez whose going to "force" Netanyahu's hand. G-D BLESS ISRAEL! STAND STRONG!
15. And what precisely...
manicdrummer ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.24.14)
...does Abbas expect the international community to do in order to enforce that resolution? Israel is a nuclear power and would not hesitate to use them if a lage military force headed their way from any direction. Dozens of countries have nukes, but only one has ever used them in an armed conflict - the United States. Israel is vastly outnumbered. It should be well and obvious that they'll nuke the bejeezus out of any country that twitches. And with Abbas's current proposal, Israel can effectively cross him off the list as a true peace partner. There is no one left to negotiate with.
16. This delusional man will lead to WW-III
Ron ,   Brooklyn, NY   (08.24.14)
Started with Arafat and continue with Abbas, these leaders are delusional. They brainwash generation after generation of Palestinians and the Arab world of their ultimate goal to push the Jews out of Israel, first using the arm struggle and now through politics. Likely, the world start to learn the hard way that Muslims can't be trusted. Israel will not be pushed and won whatever it takes.... whatever it takes ...whatever it takes... You can see how Bibi takes is gloves off to hit building that harbor Hamas.. whatever it takes ...
17. Ceasefire from a ruler wearing a female nightgown, baby cap?
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (08.24.14)
18. #11 Go predict something for UK rappers in Iraq, genious
(08.25.14)
19. Abbas seting timetable for Israel to de-occupy Gaza
Joel feldman ,   United States   (08.25.14)
Yet another example of the tail trying to wag the dog! Does anyone realize or even care what would happen to the State of Israel if Abbas' alleged "plain" for peace actually got legs? Who gives him the right to dictate what Israel should do? He is powerless to even run his own "country"!
20. This man is a joke
natan ,   israel   (08.25.14)
Even Arafat was more inteligent tan this dummy who cares about him the palestine goverment is Hamas that's way we will never reech an agreement and that's way there are so many casualties in Gaza thank's to Hamas And Qatar
21. # To all Commentators I predict your wrong!!!
BUILD BY BUILD !!!!   (08.25.14)
Damn why don't you crawl back under that rock you live under? Dumb Harold. Really dumb. G-D BLESS ISRAEL !!!!
22. # 8 Yes Devorah YES!!!!!
BUILD BY BUILD !!!!   (08.25.14)
Send the pals packing they've ruined Gaza and will do that to Israel if allowed ( which they wont.)
23. #13 go read some news - you live in a dream
(08.25.14)
24. Indeed: now is the perfect time to establish terror state
(08.25.14)
next to Tel Aviv. As developments in the so called Arab world show us, they are evolving fast into fifth-Century entities. As close neighbors: a dream come true! At least he spares us war, good boy.
25. What does the UN have to do with Israel's borders?
(08.25.14)
Who are they to decide on the borders that G-d gave the Jews? The ENTIRE ISRAEL belongs to ALL the Jews. All others are only guest who may or may not be accepted in Israel.
26. Israel,s border back to the future =
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (08.25.14)
GRAND ISRAEL In Israel the only realists are the dreamers assisted by doers.
27. My deadline
Dan   (08.25.14)
i announce a deadline of one week from today for the Palestinians to start behaving like intelligent, rational human beings. There, that should work.
28. Living in the past eh? Mahmoood
Dream on   (08.25.14)
29. To: No. 11
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.25.14)
I predict you are, as always, blowing air out of your nether regions. So, Harold -- when are you going to tell us all about your personal experience and first-hand knowledge of a U.S. airlift of Iraqi Jews to Israel in 1948 that never occurred? Hmm? C'mon, tell us. We are all waiting with bated breath. Please do not keep us in suspense any longer. Your "personal experience." Your "first-hand knowledge." Please share. I, for one, am most interested in hearing all about your first -hand knowledge of something that never happened. And your personal experience of that non-existent event. Is it any wonder no one takes you -- or your inane predictions -- seriously, Harold? C'mon, let's have another pompous "To All Commentators" post, in which you regale us with tales of your first-hand knowledge and personal experience of an airlift that never happened. Shall I run out and get some popcorn?
30. To: No. 11
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.25.14)
First of all, your prediction (predictably enough) is wrong. The United States will veto any such resolution. But even if the U.S. abstains, which it won't, an abstention in the Security Council is equivalent to a veto. Read the U.N. Charter, sluggo. By the way -- still waiting for you to tell us all about your "personal experience" and "first hand knowledge" of a magical, mystical airlift of Iraqi Jews to Israel conducted by the United States in 1948. So come on, give. Tell us ALL about that which never happened, and in so doing -- tell us all about your pathetic self. Don't forget to address your post with the usual, pompous "To All Commentators." C'mon, tell us ALL about an airlift that occurred only in your vivid imagination.
