1. Anan & prodi understand
mordechai ,   jerusalem, israel   (12.13.06)
It's good to see that at least Kofi Anan and Prime Minister Prodi understand something that Ofer Pines and the Israeli Labor Party fail to. It is important for Israel to maintain it's jewish character.
2. good idea lets convert the 400,000
tea man ,   marjayoun leb   (12.13.06)
palestinan into the jewish faith this way they can return without affecting the jewish character of israel and solve the major problem in lebanon as a christian lebanon wannbe preserved as stausquo balance
3. Tea Man
alex ,   nyc   (12.13.06)
tea man, Why not let these 400,000 into West Bank or Gaza (or let other Arab states take them), once the Palestinian state comes into being (with Hamas fanatics in power, it is hard to predict when that would happen though).
4. Prodi: Preserve Israel's Jewish character
silvio ,   italy   (12.13.06)
Mr. Prodi is expert to tax the Italians: what he tells on Israel are big lies since who commands Mr. Prodi in Italy are the Communists. And the Communists help the Moslems and are against the Italians People and the Israelis People.
5. Dont trust Prodi too much! He has very slippery ways.
Alan ,   SA   (12.13.06)
6. Preserve "Jewish character" while Olmert wears no Kippa
(12.13.06)
Righhhhhhhhhhht
7. Israel's declaration of independence...
Dan ,   Israel   (12.13.06)
states very clearly that Israel is and will remain a demoratic Jewish/Hebrew nation state where all citizens are granted the same INDIVIDUAL rights and OBLIGATIONS. However, there are NO NATIONAL RIGHTS for minorities since only the Hebrew culture is the norm in Israel, just like the French culture is the norm in France. There is no need to deny any Arab "right of return" since this "right" does not exist, unless they mean the Arab return to Arabia.
8. Prodi is a Decent Man and a Realist
Semsem ,   New York, USA   (12.13.06)
Prodi is a decent man; a mensch and a realist. The 1 million Jews, forced to leave the Arab countries plus their decendants, are not returning and nor are the 750,000 Palestinians returning to Israel.
9. Who cares? Palestinians will return to their occupied land
tony ,   usa   (12.13.06)
and don't need permission from anyone to do so.
10. Olmert is clueless
Paul ,   Austin, USA   (12.13.06)
Why the hell is this man still in office? VOTE OF NO-CONFIDENCE NOW!!
11. #2 It will turn like Iraq Sectarion Violence LOL
(12.13.06)
12. Striking similarities
enzo ,   london,uk   (12.13.06)
Italians and Israelis have too much in common. And yes! I'm talking about the people, not the politicians!
13. Tea man #2..
Lynne   (12.14.06)
they are over 4million and not 400,000 Palestinian refugees!!
14. Semsem. that's not what you said before
Jake   (12.14.06)
You used to accuse Prodi of being a Hamas supporter. Make up your mind.
15. Prodi's Magnanimity
Dr. Joji Cherian ,   Aluva India   (12.14.06)
Rabi Bogomilsky goes to court to remove Christmas trees ( sorry winter trees) from airport in Seattle and Prody says Jewish charector of Israel should be preserved. Irony
16. to lynne iam talking about the 400,000
tea man ,   marjayoun leb   (12.14.06)
in lebanon actually there are 9,000,000 palestinan 3 million of them are prisoner in the so called Pa State and the rest are refugee thanks to your granny"s abe and sarah and their promise
17. Tea man.. I'm sorry..
Lynne   (12.14.06)
oops.. I'm very sorry.. I thought you made a typing mistake and forgot a zero.. yes, the figure 0f 4,000,000 is only a start.. it is arguable.. as I said.. they are OVER 4million..
18. From a domestic Palestinian: Wake up Prodi!
Friendly Neighbour ,   Belgrade, Serbia   (12.15.06)
"Direct talks between the parties are utterly important," says Prodi. But it is funny that in case of Kosovo, he isn't so concerned about negotiations. Third grade Finish bureaucrat, corrupted UN officials, and USA stuff in Kosovo are the ones who'll decide about the next bloody war in the Balkans. Wake up Prodi, it is not too late.
