yeah sure, EU could vote for recognition of my sister being the pope...it would be the same...what value does such a vote have? absoutely nothing, because on the ground, israel is here, and will not be removed from its land. for sure, it will calm down the french and british muslims ...and perhaps decrease the risk of bombings in paris metro...so why not, if it s about israel, everything is allowed... this is the traditional european cowardness, that prefers to accuse the jews instead of fighting its muslims extremists on their soil. so bye bye europe, continue dreaming...

...the members of the Islamic cult from Israel. Deport the bunch of islamic cult followers to Sweden. As for now, there should be no problem to populate Stockholm with 4 more millions of the islamic cult. And the Swedish politicians will be very happy.

Two distinct non-working entities in the land of eretz Israel will only drive the world further apart. We can not have this and world peace. Palestinians and Israelis are going to need to work together. A problem is that Israel doesn't feel the Palestinian government can be trusted because of countless breaches of trust in all sectors. Israel should be able to maintain defensive considerations in all the land and all the land, even by the blessings of Isaac to Jacob and Esau, is another one of the names of Zion. And Zion is the name being left to be blasphemed. The Lord desires the gates of Zion to all the tents of Jacob. Some real Muslim (submission and obedience to God) influence could actually help benefit fulfillment of Holy Scriptures. The Iranians seem to be more Muslim than the Palestinian leadership right now. Holy Scriptures are a blueprint and are worthwhile to follow as a guide.

The BBC is fixated on the 1967 green line. No matter what the story is about this fiction appears. At least Merkel is not following the herd. Why don't they recognize the Islamic State while their at it. They might stop the killing.

Hardly. Great joy, in fact. Cometh now annexation of Judea and Samaria. Guess where the Arabs are going? Perhaps they can write songs about their deportation to Gaza.

It's your fault that now everybody is ganging up on those poor Jews ;) ,...

An absolutely correct and moral first step in the right direction. But the next imperative step must be taken, and that is to "derecognize" "Israel" and end all relations with that geopolitical mistake of 1947-1949.

Tear up the phony "peace treaty" with "Jordan", invade Jordan and destroy it, annex Judea, Samaria, Gaza and Jordan, and deport all Arabs from Israel, Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, Golan, Gaza and Jordan to Sweden! Israel should deport or maybe export 6-10 million Arabs to Sweden and make Stockholm the capital of "Palestine"!

Below here are some of the dumbest comments i have read in a long time. That stupidity will lead to even more countries recognizing Palestine. About 150 countries now recognize Palestine. Soon it will be 170 countries. Could it be that Likud is solely to blame for this development?

This is what happens when Israel has WEAK LEADERSHIP.

Dream dream dream Sarah. I wonder what will your comment be when the EU's Parliament recognize The State of Palestine.

Do the EU honestly believe that a simple recognition of the proposition of the idea of the concept of a Palestine is of any benefit at all? Apart from raising the expectation that Palestinian PA can get everything for nothing in negotiations with Israel But what is worse in the conditions we see now this 'technical recognition' will be seen as de facto approval of Abbas violent brinkmanship playing out by violent Palestinian youth in his name But even worse still WHAT ARE THE EU recognising when even Abbas doesn't SHARE WITH US what this Palestine will be...2 State, 3 State, 1999 Plan..does EVEN Abbas KNOW? Perhaps he can share it with the Palestinian People? The EU can contribute constructively IN PRACTICAL WAYS by facilitating more infrastructure building, facilitating trade, helping with industrial development in the West Bank....rather than making empty futile and ultimately damaging political gestures to the Palestinian Cause

condemn such violence so we would expect Israelis of all religions to do the same Such PUBLIC statements are helpful to set the tone and limits of tolerance for such behaviour from whichever quarter It is not enough to arrest offenders - Community, Religious and Political Leaders need to spell out clearly without doubt to give direction and clarity to Israels Principles of Freedom, Democracy and Law and Order that we all hold so dearly

They just can't wait to make their ultimate dream come true. Their new FM has said it for them: "Palestine instead of Israel! If the EU believes that making Israel the 2014 Chechoslovakia to appease the Muslims in their own backyard, they may be in for a surprise for it won't work. Their future is: IS instead of EU!

The EU, formally called the 3rd Reich, had a pact with Arabs, to murder every Jew. Especially the ones that were lucky enough to escape Europe. Two old lovers reuniting.
