31. Blaming Olmert is shortsighted - he is Aron Barak's puppet
Dudu ,   Kfar Sava   (06.30.06)
32. Two things:
keren ,   sao paulo   (06.30.06)
If Olmert keeps pushing this insanity on,people should make him resign. It is IMPOSSIBLE to permit such a disaster to go on. Now,another opinion: After this current Tzahal entering in Gaza will be finished,and B'H with Gilad back home and all palis infrastructure destroyed,Israel should start seriously and metodicaly planning a way to transfer palis from Gaza to an arab country;and after the same process to WB. This is the only way,in my view,for Israel to get rid forever of this bundle. Israel must understand once and for all that giving up more of our land will lead only to disaster. Arabs WILL NEVER ACCEPT JEWS,hence,forget about it and start doing what is good for Israel. Israel needs Gaza and WB to expand itself more and more;Israel needs land for future Alyias-B'H,and for endless progress as well. IF you restringe phisicaly your country ,you are restringing yourselves more and more,and that's not the Jewish nature.We need to progress not to restrain.(By the way,that's the stupid gentiles' fear of us!) Note:Isaid this today in a talk back but would like to repeat: Do not lose the chance ,and the hard sacrifice, and job of this current incursion in Gaza -and maybe WB-,and DO NOT LET ARABS STRIVE TO STRENGTHEN AGAIN,untill the problem is solved. 60 years is enough already!
33. #17 (Ron): another solution
sk ,   USA   (07.01.06)
Ron, dude, I have already told you my solution in the context of a long essay opposing "disengagement." The short of it is that the "Palestinians" need to be realigned to one (or more) of the Arab countries instead of remaining in the Jewish one. This can be achieved by simultaneously squeezing them economically by removing all Israeli assistance and by offering them some money to get out. If Israel had leadership (even secular leadership) that was results-driven, this would have been implemented when the Oslo "intifada" began. The plus side of expelling the "Palestinians" is that Israel's fifth column (the so-called Israeli Arabs, who actually consider themselves "Palestinians") will be so terrified that their behavior will improve drammatically. Neither of us gives a damn about the Pals (as is evident from your plan to have Arab countries give them "Arab justice"); my plan at least gets them out of the country without shrinking Israel any further, and it gives them a bit of cash before converging them.

Winston Churchill said, "if you're not a liberal at age 19 you have no heart. if you're not a conservative by age 40 you have no brains."
35. Olmert is killing you
Betty ,   Tucson,AZ USA   (07.01.06)
The "palestinians" VOTED overwhelmingly for Hamas, clearly knowing the goal of Hamas is to destroy Israel and the Jews...not that any other choice they had was any different...which just about tells you everything you need to know about these so-called "palestinians"... It's either you or the cockroaches... Fire Olmert who is killing you!
36. #33 SK
HBendor ,   New York USA   (07.02.06)
Transfer is a copycat of ...What you wish to implement... The Yiddisher heart in Israel and all around the world would not go along and this is why we are in deep doodoo today.
37. #11,#17 It is missing another buddy:Yoel Ariel.Isn't he?

keren ,   sao paulo   (07.02.06)
And after all,this is the solution palis people would more welcome. Those who obstruct are their leaders,not the people. Why should "palis" like to be squeezed next to Israel, with so much place among their owns,and ,besides,not having to fight and bomb themselves all the time . The problem is to get direct to people to resolv the situation,because their "leaders" are too used to suck the money they get so easily. And in the other hand,Israel should DRY their fontains ,not giving them more jobs nor any other facilities. Israel should start thinking in give incentives for Israelis to do themselves jobs considered "minors".If they are well payed ,they will! By doing so Israel will resolv its unemployment problems,will reduce the entrance of disqualified people into the country,and will get rid of their worst enemies hanging currently out in Israel.
39. Israel
Ram ,   London   (07.02.06)
has the brains to has the means to has the power to has the opportunity to has the reason to has the NEED to sort out the Palestinians once and for all! Unfortunately GUTLESS self serving politicians are running the show and allow Israeli blood to spill and keep on spilling in the future. Israelis need a wake up call to depose these politicians and replace them with ones that will act for their good and continuity. The lack of immediate and determined action by Olmert and Peretz in this last week has given Hamas time to consolidate, recruit and fortify. I pray that this will not claim more blood of Israeli soldiers.
40. # 39 RAM ????
wael ,   palestine / kuwait   (07.02.06)

keren ,   sao paulo   (07.02.06)
NO,you and Israelis CAN NOT LIVE ONE NEXT TO EACH OTHER. PERIOD!
42. Keren (#37 & 38): where's Yoel Ariel?
sk ,   USA   (07.03.06)
Yeah, where is Yoel? He was a very amusing fellow, making the leftists on this web site uncomfortable while entertaining everyone else, especially with THE QUESTION. You know, Keren, I agree that the "Pals" could certainly be bribed to leave, at least most of them. Let's assume that their first passion is killing Jews. If they find themselves with no electricity and no water and no ability to kill Jews, why wouldn't they take the next best thing and leave? But they need to feel hopeless.
43. #36 (HBendor)
sk ,   USA   (07.03.06)
Hi. I'm not sure I understand you ... I'm not sure it's the "yiddisher heart" that keeps Israel from ditching its Pals. What kind of heart expels Jews, after all? No, I think Israeli leaders desperately want to keep Pals near them (within or across the Green Line), and that makes the Israelis beg and plead for peace. I think there are a number of reasons why the Arabs are so important both to secular Zionists and to post-Zionist leaders. The Zionists want to forget about being Jewish, and that becomes hard if you actually have possession of the Jewish holy places and if everyone is Jewish. The post-Zionists hate the very concept of a Jewish state. But what else can you have if you have no Moslems?
44. #40 (Wael)
sk ,   USA   (07.03.06)
Wael, could you write in standard English please? The "r u" business is annoying. What's all this nonsense about Judaism being "a peaceful religion"? We know Islam is a religion of murder and backwardness. Judaism holds that there is a time for war and a time for peace. Arabs in the Middle East have always chosen war. It is an imperative therefore to defeat them and to drive them from the land of Israel (which extends from the Mediterranean to the Jordan River). I don't see why this is controversial. Arabs like their own more than they like others, even if they spend much of their time killing "brother" Arabs. Why should Jews not prefer Jews to Arabs? Wael, stay in Kuwait (this time don't cheer on a Muslim tyrant who invades Kuwait, or you'll be tossed out for good).
45. # 42 sk
keren ,   sao paulo   (07.03.06)
Yes...And we must feel hopeful that Israel will start making them feel hopeless already!
