31. #19 Nasrallah & Bush should be, as well
(08.25.07)
Rice is too pretty to be jailed
32. Do you understand, can you comprehend
Yisraeli   (08.25.07)
the magnitude of this treachary? Not by Bishara, a dog is a dog no matter what suit he may be wearing. I dont accuse Bishara for being what he is, I accuse the Knesset and the High Court!!! That Knesset members can accept the enemy within its own ranks and ban, oust and ridicule a man like Rabbi Meir Kahana who had nothing but love for Israel and devoted to its future and destiny. But no, he became the enemy whilst the likes of Bishara became the trusted fellow citizen. A few years back in the High Court there were petitions to deny Moshe Feiglin and Bishara the right to hold a seat in the Knesset, The petition to bar Feiglin was upheld and Bishara was allowed by the courts to be a Knesset member. Are you comprehending the scale of treachary and treason within Israel? No not by the likes of Bishara because nothing better can be expected of him. but by all the others I mentioned.
33. #5 - some good ideas ..
redmiike ,   tel aviv   (08.25.07)
the two biggest problems of course would be Hamas and the 4 Million+ refugees! The highest official figures that I've ever read for the number of Arabs that left the area in 48 is 750,000. How could and why should Israel compensate 4 million Arabs? Don't forget that most left because they were told to do so by Arab countries and not because Israel forced them out. Hamas is sworn to Israel's destruction and would not be satisfied with any 'deal'. Returning Gaza to Egypt would seem to be the best solution to that situation. Gaza and the west bank were never one country and the people living in them come from different countries and backgrounds so there seems no reason to 'unite' them - Mike
34. 5 - a bit overly optimistic, but a great post anyway. thanks
Noa ,   Israel   (08.25.07)
35. Ali-U want that deal.But Pals want whole of Israel
Alan ,   SA   (08.25.07)
36. Israel needs better leaders
John ,   London,UK   (08.25.07)
Israel is doomed unless it finds good leaders. Olmert and others are destroying Israel. Even Israeli cabinet minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer says he trusts Hezbollah more than he trusts Israeli politicians. Ben Eliezer said that his arch enemy the 'leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, has never lied'. 'What Nasrallah says is always turns out to be true'. 'That is why I believe him'. 'Whatever Nasrallah has said he has done'. 'I trust him.' This means the Israeli top leaders have more faith in Hezbollah leadership than in their own. I think Israel needs to get itself honest and brave leaders otherwise it might get wiped out, just as Iran has prophesied. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/6955136.stm
37. #5 Jerusalem is Jewish, not Palestinian. All of it. Period.
Gidi ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.25.07)
38. Where is the bastard hiding now?
Daniel Rossi ,   NYC, USA   (08.25.07)
An Arab Knesset member?! Oxymoron..The fake democracy in Israel outlaws legitimate, zionist parties like KACH, but allows, encourages, aids and abetts in the formation of Jew-hating, IslamoFascist parties and MK's. Bishara should be hunted down, his bribes confiscated and redistributed to the victims in our northern border.
39. ALI , Ramallah
Ginette ,   Toronto, Canada   (08.25.07)
It sounds nice but you are a dreamer! Besides, International troops ARE USELESS.
40. Bishara must be a double agent
JPS ,   Efrat   (08.25.07)
I wonder why he's trying to convince Hezbollah that Israel is "incapable of attaching Lebanon again". Anybody with 1/2 a brain and a small amount of military experience knows that Hezbollah would need 10 years and billions of dollars to come close to the Israeli army's capabilities. So why is Bishara egging them on? Or is it the Arab penchant for suicide missions that drives him? Whatever the case, Bishara and Hezbollah certainly aren't calling for peace to break out. But as the pipsqueek on the block, they're cruising for yet another bruising if they try attack Israel again.
41. Ali...
gedaliah   (08.25.07)
Nice to see that an Arab recognizes Israel. There are many problems with your plan. One: there were NEVER 4 million arabs living in Israel...ever. So who are Israel to compansate? Two: Arbas fled Israel durning war as to create an environment for Genocide against the Jewish People. Three: there is no such thing as a Palastinanian people four: The temple Mount is Jewish, no matter how much archeological evidence you destroy. Aside from the fact that "refugees" would never in their right mind want to live in a country run by your leadership. England has rejected a Palastinian soccer team to play in tournamnet there because they were concered that the arabs would stay. My solution is this. Give every arab family a check of $75,000 and a bus ticket to jordan. Seporation with create peace.
42. war criminals
yavneh   (08.26.07)
the jews have their war criminals but the arabs have more . They deny the massacres and refused refugee to the hunted .
43. Ali We Don't Want to Return to Arab States
Laila ,   Montreal, Iraq   (08.26.07)
Ali your plan is reasonable but with Hamas how will it work? Secondly the 1 million Jews who fled the Arab States don't want to return. I am from Iraq; do you think Iraqi Jews want to return? Or Egyptian, Libyan, Yemeni, Syrian etc?
44. #41 No Different than Hamas
Fortunee ,   Boston, USA   (08.26.07)
#41 your offer to the Palestinians is no different than Hamas offer to the Israelis. It is unreasonable. Ali's peace plani irelatively "reasonable" but can it work? Within 1 year they wil be firing rockets at Tel Aviv. I pray they find a way.
45. Riad, I don't know your position on the story, but
Avraham ,   NYC   (08.26.07)
nobody has forgotten the murder of a hand-cuffed Jew by Arabs in Shfaram.
46. To Ali, from a Palestinian Refugee '48
Hani ,   Palestine Vagabond   (08.26.07)
We'll never give up our homes. We don't care if Goliath is sitting on top of it, we only know we're going to recover our beautiful Galilee! http://prc.org.uk They call it the subsequent destruction of the Jewish State. We call it Justice, and would like to add: "What's good for a Jew is also good for a Palestinian peasant". The UN and international law is on our side. I might not live to see Justice, but my children will.
47. Bishara is a has-been. He is no longer a respected
Fawaz   (08.26.07)
personality even among Arabs in Israel, and it is just a matter of time before he becomes an un-known person to most, both in Israel and abroad, and will find himself becoming a grey university lecturer in one of the universities in the Arab world and a commentator in an Arab newspaper. He is for all practical purposes a has been personality.
48. #32 The real treachery
Aharon   (08.26.07)
Is that it was a Kahanist Jew, and not an Arab, who killed an Israeli Prime Minister. And that is why Kahane and his followers will be forever shunned for the traitors they are.
49. Ahron #48
Yisraeli   (08.26.07)
Yes and that so called "kahanist" jew that you like to refer to him as, also must have possessed one of those super alien technology guns that when you point it at the victims back its super technology shoots the victim in the front with 3 bullets to the chest, wow these "kahanists" are so very technoloically advanced arnt they? Ye of little and feeble mind, go back to sleep.
50. Bishara - Pops up from his rat hole again!
Sammy ,   Newcastle, UK   (08.26.07)
Here is yet another example of a lightweight opportunist suddenly taking on the mantle of speaker for Palestinians. Getting on the proverbial Mashaal and Hamas band wagon of selling your soul for Iranian money Well perhaps I can elucidate about what I and most Palestinians think of Bishara. If I say - corrupt, opportunist, liar, a failure, contemptible, a waste of space, an insult to Palestinians, a traitor to Arab Israelis, does it paint the picture?
51. #49 Denying responsibility
Aharon   (08.26.07)
You just don't want to admit that the right can make mistakes just like the left can. That's right, the self-righteous right can be wrong too, not just the suicidal leftists. You just keep denying responsibility and giving us conspiracy theories in a partonizing tone - just like today's 9/11 conspiracy theorists, holocaust deniers, and so on.
52. #5. Ali
Sammy ,   Newcastle, UK   (08.26.07)
Well thought through. Lots of Talkback Skeptics on the Israeli and Palestinian side but every recent poll suggests that these Talkbackers ARE THE MINORITY pining for the 'good old days' but knowing their old, worn arguments like an old musty suit is only fit for the bin. But theres a new generation of leadership and movers and shakers on the Palestinian side who realise there is a third and better way. Thats why Abbas having created the framework for a permanent solution will be handing the baton to the new generation in the PA who are determined to move on. What you outline Ali is broadly what every sane person KNOWS as the best solution that creates a viable Palestinian State alongside Israel. Even the so called unresolvable issues issues of right of return, Jerusalem, water ARE POTENTIALLY EASILY RESOLVABLE. What I say to Abbas is GIVE US OUR STATE and we will be a shining light in the region, turning a beloved Palestine into a homeland fit for heroes.
53. Just another fighter.
USA   (08.27.07)
So, this guy's a traitor. Well, I can't say this wasn't self-inflicted. Should've known better than to put someone like that in the Mossad and trust him in the first place. How do you know who's friend and who's enemy? By the way, ISRAEL FIGHT YOUR ENEMIES LIKE A LION!!! If President Bush tells you to use restraint, pay him NO ATTENTION! Either you fight hard or you go home and hope they don't come after you!!! Don't worry about no getting money, G-- will make sure your economy continues. You wont crash, the God of your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Jehovah, will see to it that the nation is intact!! Like He said: "Even to your gray hairs I am He who will sustain you." Be strong, and fight!!!!
54. To Bishara. The Huge Amount Of.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (08.30.07)
You said :" Israel intentionally massacred Lebanese civilians ...". Bishara, you RASCAL, you know very well that the IAF, before attacking neighborhoods in Lebanon, would throw leaflets -- WARNING the incumbent population to LEAVE their homes impending the IAF attack. AND than 3 or 5 hours after the leaflet-dropping IAF would attack. Bishara, the HUGE amount of bombings by the IAF -- without those leaflets droppings -- would have killed 400,000 Lebanese civilians. SO, Bishara, Israel conducted the Second Lebanon War in a CIVILIZED way -- unlike Hezbollah, who fired rockets into Israel DELIBERATELY on civilian targets, WITHOUT warning. Bishara, GIVE UP your rascaldom.
55. To Sammy #52. Endeavour To CHANGE Destructive Mentality.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (08.30.07)
You write :"Give us our state and we will be a shining light ...". THAT is also what the Gazans said :"Give us Gaza Strip and we will turn it into Paradise ". SO, in August 2005 the last Jew was evicted and Gaza Strip became JEW-FREE since. And WHAT are we seeing -- almost daily Kassam rockets being fired into Israel. Sammy, is this the "shining light " coming from the Kassam rockets which you are refering to in your TB ? I think you should endeavour to CHANGE the destructive mentality of the Gazans -- otherwise Gaza Strip will remain a WRETCHED place, and NOT "a homeland for heroes" so desired by you. SO, Sammy, we can NOT afford a second experiment like the one in the Gaza strip -- maybe after 30 years, if you work hard NOW to change the destructive mentality of your brethrens.
56. Conterproposal of Ali
Franklin ,   France   (09.15.07)
NO....ABADANE Before you and your so called OUMA change their behaviour and criminal propaganda against the Jews and Israel. NO....ABADANE..

Before you change your schoolbooks and begin to dismantle the stupid ideology ruling among you ,based on and baked by your fanatics clerics. Tbe realistic...ALL. OF ABOVE COULD BE ACHIEVING AND COMPLETED WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF A CENTURY.
