1. There are no 'occupied territories'
Chaya ,   Bat Yam   (12.18.06)
Thus, there is no 'green line.' The Left (here and abroad) have been brainwashed by the dissemination of the myth of the 'palestinian' people. These leftist Jews today are no different than those in the past who thought if we are only nice with the goyim, they will like us!
2. Yes - Yariv Oppenheimer is 'disconnected from reality'.
redmike ,   tel aviv & london   (12.18.06)
3. Guess it's time for
Sara ,   Israel   (12.18.06)
"Tchiyat HaMaytim" then, and go back to our glorious days of old, when Israelis were proud to be Jews and Jews were proud to be Israelis. The rest of you can, to put it kindly, get lost.
4. Green Line, Pink Line and Reality Line
Atilla Karagözoğlu ,   Istanbul   (12.18.06)
After reading a book about middle East I made a few points this wekeend. No one wants A GREEN LINE. in fact, there is NO GREEN PEACE MAKERS. PINK LINE : both sides have their own maps. That means ; One side is out. To be honest is always worth to live. Jews pink line includes some part of my country :) sure we know this :) sure we smile, I mean how it will happen :))) thats the reason I called this a PINK LINE. that doesnt mean I dont respect the God's order. But I have some doubt about The God's order ! Did he really say that. or some Rabbies did add my grounds to the map, because of the water we have. anyway, we are very very carefull :)))) REALITY LINE: Look at Iraq ! today. Even after all, Iraq's borders didnt change. Today, what we have is what we should keep. I dont believe todays world will leave to make any changing in the borders. Before 1960-1970, The media wasnt that powerfull. in today we hear everything in minutes. Today's world is THE REALITY. which dont and WONT allow to have any BIG CHANGINGS. Wheather Palistinians and Israelies make peace or not, but both will not have big changing. what ever done is the ALL. from now on I dont believe any big changing will happen. I wanted share my honest opinium. Peace, Respect and Love Atilla Karagözoğlu OKEY, ONE MORE THING; some say, men makes his best before the age of 35. Look at successfull men life. They all made their best job before the age of 35. I think, todays middle east is same. They all did their BEST. They all got the best they ever can have.
5. unilateral changing occupied to disputed; disputed to legall
observer   (12.18.06)
can "unilateral processes" work for relations and borders between two or more neighboring countries ? the answer is; yes, only if these respect the international law. International law deems them occupied land that Israel has illegally settled. So, it does not matter if the Israeli government "unilaterally" kill the green line border or change the name from occupied to disputed. The situation is still the same; Occupied Land according to the International Law.
6. The Green Line died in the heads...
Michael Steiner   (12.18.06)
...of a handful of people whose heads are up in the clouds anyway. For the rest of the world, including the vast majority of Jews and Israelis, the Green Line very much exists, and it is the border to which or near to which we will sooner or later have to withdraw.
7. #1:
Michael Steiner   (12.18.06)
In my previous comment I said that there were people like you whose heads were up in the clouds. I apologize. Your heads are actually up your posteriors.
8. #3 give back stolen land, so that "Tchiyat HaMaytim" works
(12.18.06)
9. we won the war
yoni ,   jerusalem   (12.18.06)
the green line never died - we killed it when we fought and won in 1967. stop behaving like children the rules are simple and clear
10. idiotic governments
Michael ,   Haifa   (12.18.06)
one idiotic government created a green line, another idiotic government cancelled the green line and yet another idiotic government reinstates it. Until such time that we withdraw from the West Bank, the green line will continue to gather mould as successive governments play silly games with it.
11. Nobody has ever proven
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (12.18.06)
Nobody has ever proven that retreating within the "Green Line" aka the "Auschwitz Borders" will cause Peace. Actually there is ABSOLUTELY NO INDICATION such an action will bring "Peace."
12. If such cabinet resolution exists then Yuli Tamir cannot
Uzi ,   Haifa   (12.18.06)
make and implement her unilateral decision without an appropriate new cabinet resolution. If she does proceed unilaterally she exposes the government, the education department and herself to embarrassing legal challenges.
13. Novel legal approach: legislate educaiton
Steve ,   USA   (12.18.06)
B"H Instead of setting laws down in the books, just set them down in the textbooks! That completely bypasses all the normative legislative processes including the so-called government!
14. Green Line # 9
James ,   Mich. USA   (12.19.06)
Yoni; I agree with you wholeheartedly. Why is it when any other nation wins a war, they keep the territories won, when Israel wins it's wars, (instigated by her enemies) everyone; including some Israelies, feel they must return the spoils of war. It is obvious that there will never be any appeasing her enemies, whose one desire is to see Israel destroyed forever.
