1. The sane alternative is called Israeli victory!
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.15.17)
Many Britons and Europeans told Churchill there were no good alternatives to coming to terms with Hitler. Fortunately, Churchill knew victory was the only sane choice. This is also true regarding Israel and our mortal "Palestinian" foes.

It is obvious to any child, capable of reading a map, that the Two State Final Solution would destroy Israel within a few years. Which is its precise intention. Israel could solve the hoax of "Palestine" simply by ending the mad flow of Israeli food, money, electricity, protection, work permits etc. which keep the evil fiction afloat. Barely a shot need be fired.

This tiny land is ours. End of story!
2. One country, two states.
David ,   Hartford USA   (02.15.17)
The Country Of Israel consisting of the two states of Israel and Palestine. The country will provide defense for both states and the state legislatures will make the state laws which can never be more restrictive than the country-wide laws.

People from either state may live in the other one and have full rights. Everyone will pay their taxes. Everyone will spend time serving in the IDF. Everyone will be equal.

Israel would do well to make English an official second language- which would probably bring in a million Americans, who, as we all know, are terrible at learning another language.

If the Nasser/Arafat/Abbas-inspired mindset to 'push the Jews into sea' can finally be silenced, peace might actually be possible. But Abbas has nurtured the demonization of Israel like a virtuoso- using childrens TV programming, the schools, the mosques, and the media to incite teenagers and men and women to commit jihadist attacks on Israelis.

Abbas needs to go- he is not the Palestinians' "Moses."

4. How DEAD is the DEADlock
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (02.15.17)
From the Palestinian perspective the biggest obstacle to progress has always been Hamas but with Sinwar at the helm….who knows..could snuff out any ray of hope for Gaza

Because with Hamas refusing under any circumstance to end their self declared war and negotiate a 2 state solution jointly with the PA with Israel, what are the options left?

2 independent Palestine statelets?
One in Gaza and one in the West Bank?
One at peace with Israel and the other at war? A sort of half peace half war comedy of halves?

Does this mean that one ‘Palestinian entity’ is any less Palestinian than the other?

Can this fracturing of Palestinian society be in any way good for Palestinian aspirations?

No
But for Sinwar, Zahar, Dieff… yet another gravy train for the elite has just left the station

And NOTHING but desperation left for Gaza

Gazans have nothing left to lose
5. palestinian want israel out
joe   (02.15.17)
authors should at least be honest-palestin do not want a neighbouring israeli state. the say it often, zohar, haniyeh etc etc. israel should also say theydo not want a recalcitrant gazan state. they should remove it in the next war lock stock and barrel.

so 2 states however the difficulties will only invite far more terror.half of israelis are not honest about it.

there is no great solution. jordan which was arbitrarilly taken by churchill to the arabs has mostly palestinians so called. so jordan has to be broguht back in. sherman and feiglin have a solution. netanyahu should be kicked out as leader. israelis have no stomach for herzog or lapid who is a nother version of olmert.

feiglin, saar, bennett and lieberman coalition can take care of matters. kick bibi out soon. he should not remain pm if indicted cause we don't want him there.
6. SPAIN
Ahmed   (02.16.17)
Muslims still see Spain as THEIR LAND!Questions?
7. 2-state solution right in front of our eyes.
tiki ,   belgium   (02.16.17)
Israel & Jordan Palestine!

Some border corrections so Palestinians can get their Jordanian passports, taken away overnight with the stroke of a pen, back.

"Palestinians" don't have to live among the """filthy""" Jews but among their loving & clean brothers, sharing the same history, religion, success & way of live.

The capital of Jordan Palestine is Amman.

When there is peace, Muslims can come and pray in Jerusalem, like they go and pray in Mecca.

Jews are back in Judea and so the problem is solved.

Let a new a bright future begin!

If only.........Palestinian Arabs & friends will allow their Jew hate to evaporate than everybody will benefit.

8. "if the goal is peace,"
C   (02.17.17)
mark sherry, fb, if the goal were peace, peace would already prevail.

however, the arabs refuse to accept any jewish sovereign on the land
of eretz israel, the land of the jews, on any part of it.
9. Wrong. Here's a perfect alternative to a "Palestinian" stat
Brad   (02.18.17)
No "Palestinian" state.
10. Ultimately,
BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (02.18.17)
No foreign leader can dictate how Israel or any other nation should, would, could, live and live in peace free from pal./arab/muslim terror, period!
It isn't only "Make America great again" it's also, "Keep Israel safe again." We are allies against the same threats.
KEEP WINNING !!
