1. the New Reality has Dawned
richard Hitchings ,   methil   (12.16.05)
Sharon ... if he remains in power will have to adoped a new attitude... He will realise now,what he did not know just a few days ago..that... He can no longer treat the Arabs.. all Arabs with contempt.. He will treat the Palestinians as he would his own people...indeed a new reality has dawned..
2. Reality is no peace as long as Israel exists
Amen ,   UK   (12.16.05)
Whatever Israel gives to the Muslims will not be enough for them. Just look around the world at all the Muslim terror areas. The moment any country cedes to the Muslims will spur the others on, so if Israel gives way it will increase terrorism in other disputed countries and later will spread back to Israel where the Muslims will demand more. Give them JERUSALEM AND THEY WILL CLAIM VICTORY AND DEMAND TEL AVIV.
3. no numbers, just hatred of HaShem
Ben Temalion ,   Shiloh, USA USA USA   (12.16.05)
The land is only given by one. That pact was sealed and unabrogateble despite the new testament and the contrivances of the quran. Where are the empirical numbers here? Yet what is the point, you endanger yourselves by not being present AGAIN in your land. It so despicable that you would hate yourself so much that you make yourself more vulnerable by ignoring a rational covenant.
4. Never
Yoav Ben Zakai ,   Israel   (12.16.05)
Not a single inch of Jerusalem should be ceded! Look at what the Arabs did when the Jordanians took over, they blew up every single synagogue(some centuries old) and desecrated Jewish graves and used tombstones as bunkers and steps. Jerusalem is Israel's capital and will remain so, so long as Jews are in Eres Yisrael
5. to number 2
(12.16.05)
The reality is that arabs and muslims did not occupy anybody's land, the other way round is the case. Palestinians are denied a state so far! Don't read if you believe that this is not true!! Iraq is occupied by USA and UK troops along with some other tail countries, oh, tail politically, people are out my TAIL comment. Then, Israel is occupying parts of Syria and Lebanon!! and then, we blame muslims and arabs because they feel angry. It is like you are stabbing someone and blaming him for moaning or gasping!
6. no surprise
sayed ,   jerusalem   (12.16.05)
palastinians reach this point before he israili .i mean the people here ...people want peace whatever thay are ...but the question where they put the line we afraid it is like the monkey and the cheese the same like a fence ..but the fact here people want peace
7. Where was this poll taken?
Cal ,   Brooklyn,Ny   (12.16.05)
Tel Aviv? The same Tel Aviv that wants to make it the gay capital of the world?
8. YNET is stupid--don't you believe it!!!
james just ,   modesto CA USA   (12.16.05)
No one blieves YNETS survey one bit. You sound like Sharon's propaganda ministry more and more. No way in the world will Jews allow Jerusalem to be divided. What about the memory of all the Jews who died for Jerusalem? Huh? Any Israeli who votes to divide Jerusalem is a big coward. Why would the Jews give away jerusalem to the people who want to kill them HUH? You Israelis are dumb- can't you see the writing on the wall? 200 kassams have been shot at Israel and not one of those incidents has been reported in the American press. If you Israelis cannot defend what you have won in war then you don't deserve to keep it. Go ahead YNET keep printing those stories and you'll give your enemies propaganda points.
9. Jerusalem
TRUMPELDOR ,   EURABIA   (12.16.05)
I agree to divide Jerusalem to get rid of hundreds of thousand of palis otherwise entitled to get israeli I D card On the other hand,all scholars know that al aqsa mosque in in medina... Therefore,muslim claim to Jerusalem is nil...
10. Why do you hate you best, those who love their Land?
Ben Temalion ,   Shiloh, USA, USA, US   (12.16.05)
The land is your defense. Pikuack Nefesh, It saves lives. You shame those whose vlood is on the land reclaimed and those who lived with wounds worse than death. You are a shamful group who hate the land and its people.
11. Yediot
Manui ,   Israel   (12.16.05)
Being Yediot of course that's the result. What's the great surpise? I wouldn't expect anything different, I thought it would be 90% actually.
12. If I forget thee oh Jerusalem....
Micha ,   Jerusalem   (12.16.05)
If the Jewish people were to give away any part of Jerusalem they would no longer deserver to considered part of the Jewish people. To give away Jerusalem is like abandoning the Torah, selling out our souls, denying our heritage, bowing to idols, and so forth. If we forget Jerusalem then our history becomes meaningless.
13. must be corect
joe ,   Irael   (12.16.05)
sharon convinced the world that after we pull out of Gaza life would be good. No more Kasamim and the palistine will be our friends. That happened!! So if he say to particion Jerusalem it must be just as good for us also.
14. New Math 49%=50% 1984, Cooked Polls, Ynet Lies
(12.16.05)
15. HAS ANYONE HERE EVEN READ THE KORAN? THE BOOK OF HATRED
ambrosine shitrit ,   london   (12.16.05)
What a dangerous Cult Islam Is. It has even convinced those in power that they have a foothold in Jerusalem.......For those less informed, Jerusalem has a distinctly secondary place for Moslems. Jerusalem is not once mentioned in the Koran or in the liturgy. The Prophet Mohammed never went to the city, nor did he have ties to it. Jerusalem never has served as the capital of any polity, and has never been an Islamic cultural center.Whereas Mecca is the "Jerusalem" of Islam. That is where Moslems believe that Abraham nearly sacrificed Ishmael; where Mohammed lived most of his life; and where the key events of Islam took place. Moslems pray in its direction five times each day and it is where non-Moslems are forbidden to set foot. It certainly seems that Islam has now spread its vile lies onto the Global Map, and convinced those that havent even picked up a copy of the Koran.......
16. Israeli public brainwashed
Jew ,   Jerusalem   (12.16.05)
the problem is the media. There is no major newspaper or TV station adopting a Jewish position to keep Eretz israel intact. People just think what the mass media writes. Where is the proportional representation of the religious in the mass media? Who opposed the disengagement? All Olim from Europe and the US know that this country is not democratic, self-elected Bagatz, lying PM, destroying Yeshuvim, HaShem help us...
17. War on Palestinian Terror
D ,   Israel   (12.16.05)
What Israel has failed to do is to launch a full blown war against all terror infrastructure. As long as we keep bombing empty buildings and using sonic booms we have lost this war. The Israeli government has a habit of making its citizens believe that we can't win this one, therfore we should give Jerusalem to palestinian terrorists. If, which he probably will, Sharon win the elections, bet on half of Jerusalem and all of the West Bank going to palestinian terror hands. The Palestinians need this to gain military strenght and give us the final blow.
18. To #15
Hussein ,   Jordan   (12.16.05)
Do think Torah is the real thing?!!! It was tampered with ever since it was written at Moses times.. All there is made up.. Islam shall prevail.. (just wait) Good day ;-)
19. Divide?
Ahmad ,   Arab Jerusalem   (12.16.05)
Who said we agree?!! We want the entire city... Peace;)
20. Thisis the only way to get peace-Contrary will create violen
Kamal ,   Ejerusalem Palestine   (12.16.05)
21. Ynet is....
J K ,   NYC, USA   (12.16.05)
smoking crack. About the only compromise Israel will make is they will chuck the far eastern heavily Arab suburbs for use as a future capital. I dont know about Ariel and Ma'ale Adumim, but most of the communities straddling the green line an Canada Park and most of Gush Etzion will likely become part of Israel. Since the Palestinians have a great tradition of religious plurailty, I am sure whatever is ceded to them will be open to all (yeah, right!)
22. well i'm against. jerusalem belongs only to israel.
Yakir   (12.16.05)
guess we'll have to fight about it ;-)
23. Palestinians Were Offered
tinashkuli   (12.16.05)
97% of the territories, East Jerusalem, and $30B in compensation at Camp David in 2000; Why didn't they accept the offer then and start the intifada instead? Saudi Prince Bandar called Arafat's rejection of Barak's offer "A crime against the Palestinians--in fact against the entire region."
24. Shocking...
Michael Steiner ,   EU   (12.16.05)
I never thought. Even I, who have absolutely no reservations withdrawing from the entire Yesh tomorrow if need be, would demur at ceding Jerusalem. But it'll have to be done, sooner or later, and I AM pleased that the majority of Israelis have comes to terms with this fact.
25. Authentic Ahmed
Kate ,   London   (12.16.05)
I think in Ahmed we have the authentic voice of the "Palestinian" street which doesn't want peace at all, but is instead intent on the total destruction of Israel. Whatever the Israeli public want they will be eventually faced with the reality of a preternaturally sly and extremely bloodthirsty Muslim enemy which is intent on killing them all.
26. #5 - so you call a mulligan
Yossi ,   Canada   (12.16.05)
A Mulligan in golf is a do-over. A golfer calls a mulligan if he doen't like his shot. arabs keep starting wars. After every war, when they don't like the results - they call a mulligan. Back to '67 borders, return of so-called refugees, tearing down the wall and on and on. Guess what arabs. There are no mulligans in war. There are always consequences to your actions, and you don't like those conseqences. Too damn bad. If you ever, ever, learned from your mistakes, there would be peace and prosperity in the land. But the bottom line - ARABS ARE TOO STUPID TO LEARN FROM THEIR MISTAKES.
27. Give away Tel Aviv
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (12.16.05)
Keep Jerusalem, give away Tel Aviv.
28. Dividing Jerusalem for Peace
Michael ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (12.16.05)
There was suppose to be "peace" when we left Gaza, but that isn't happening. What makes anyone in their right mind think... never mind, I just answered my on question.
29. ****YNET****
