It amazes me that the Arabs and their admirers in here always blame the occupation..! Gaza is not occupied, which is why Hamas took over. And look what happened there, a resounding sucess for democracy, and building a succesful modern country.. No wait.. instead of feeding the population, Hamas buys weapons instead.. As for the west bank.. Well we have to wait and see but one thing i would say is that the PLO was started before Israel "occupied" Judea and Samaria.. So why would that be? Oh, yes to kill jews.. So to the Palestinians on here, you can accept Israel or fight us.. If you want to fight us then be prepared for the results and stop whinging.. You are like lost children who will cry and cry but then get nothing done. Pathetic

Apart from the fact that Fatah's torture chambers are under a different management, there is nothing new happening in Gaza. Nothing new in Sderot either. Judging by Mr. Prodi's reaction, however, one may conclude that the Italian PM is never briefed on ME matters.

First of all the PALS never ever had a govt or ruled in Palestine/Israel whereas Israel/Jews are documented throughout the Tanakh/Old Testement as having ruled Israel. There was ALWAYS a Jewish presence in Israel throughout history. The PALs initiated terror nearly 100 years ago with the massacres in 1920, 1929, 1936, etc. Haj Amin Al Husseini collaborated with the Nazis and shared the goal of annihilating the Jews. The Arabs/PALs initiated the wars/terror and lost. We won and to the victor goes the spoils. They deserve nothing except to suffer as a result of their constant terrorist attempts against us. Fortunately we have devised innovative counter-terrorism methods that contain the terror in their backyard and not ours. We succeed in thwarting almost all terror attempts by totally containing them behind the Fence, the roadblocks, and border crossings. Yes they created the situation and are being deservedly caged and punished for their evil acts. Furthermore, their "democratic" election of terrorist HAMAS to their govt. proves that they are terrorists and fully deserve the punishment that they are receiving. We left Gaza and they continue to launch rockets. They destroyed the hothoused and synagogues. What idiots. And when they aren't trying to attack us, they are killing each other because that is all that they know how to do. Well now HAMAS really messed up by attacking FATAH. Haniyeh got booted out of the govt. Fatah picks up all the millions from EU/USA/ISRAEL along with political recognition and support. HAMAS get further isolated. Israel and Egypt are clamping down on the borders. HAMAS is showing signs of weaking as they beg for a Hudna and even suggest recognizing Israel. Now is the time when we squeeze and then go in and totally destroy HAMAS. No mercy for your terrorist friends. Absolutely none.

that there is no hope for peace between Israel, a soverign nation and the Palestinians, a divided people fueled by hate and terror. Even some Americans are starting to believe the lies of occupation and aggression by Israel. This is all fake propoganda. Even Arab leaders will admit that . Arabs are fighting to destroy Israel...not for land, not for a state. We know this b/c they were offered both and rejected both. How many chances do you give a criminal??? Palestinians are led by criminals and terrorists. Arafat is a perfect example, yet these poeple cherished him as a hero. Ridiculous!!!

What the hell are you smoking??? I really believe you are a phony just coming on here to instigate, but if you are a real person and these are your real thoughts than I feel sorry for you and your whole family.

These people have this fake notion engraved in their heads and nothing will change that. Even if Israel moved to Kansas, they would still blame all their troubles on occupation. It is how they are raised and it is what gives them a purpose in life. Otherwise they would just sit there and play shesh-besh and eat falafel all day long. How much fun can that be???

First of all, there is no Palestine. You people do not deserve a state until you behave like civilized human beings. This means: stop terror, stop teaching your kids to hate jews, stop teaching your people that Jews are evil, stop teaching your kids to become martyrs etc etc etc. The occupation is over. Israel left and what did you do? You fired rockets into our towns...idiots! When you stop voting for criminals and terrorists to lead your people, then we can talk about a state. But for now it seems that you will never change and then what? Maybe you should all go to Jordan...your real home!!!

palastine is arabic land but jewish peapele claim its thier land but they are terrorisme peapele
