61. war
Gregg ,   Haifa   (01.25.09)
Now we fought against Hamas, the external threat, we should also fight the internal threat: the settlers and their settlements !!!
62. To all anti-Obamas
daveza ,   za   (01.25.09)
You don't want America to interfere but you still want the money and the weapons and the UN veto right ?
63. U.S. SETTLERS CREATED TEXAS, CALIFORNIA
AVRUM ,   CANADA   (01.25.09)
AMERICAN SETTLERS SETTLED MEXICO, CALIFORNIA. ARE THE AMERICAN SETTLERS A STUMBLING BLOCK OR AN ISSUE TODAY? IS THIS SOMETHING MITCHELL CAN LOOK INTO? WHY COME SO FAR, WHEN YOU CAN HAVE THIS JOB AT HOME IN U.S.A. I REALLY LIKE THE U.S.A., BUT I AM JUST TRYING TO MAKING A POINT.
64. # 61 GREGG - YOU ARE A HAIFA SETTLER
AVRUM ,   CANADA   (01.25.09)
TO # 61 GREGG FROM HAIFA. HE SAYS "fight the internal threat: the settlers and their settlements" GREGG, YOU ARE A HAIFA SETTLER AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IT. WHAT'S SO NASTY ABOUT BEING A "SETTLER"?
65. #60 what do we want
israeli   (01.25.09)
i want two state solution, if whole of jerusalem is in israel. arabs can live in jerusalem and have free access to all of the religious sites i want two state solutions if they can respect israel is predominently jewish i want a two state solution if they can look after themselves in every way, and act as responsible citizens of the world. i want a two state solution, as long as they understand their state boundries, and abide by them. i want one state solution if we have to keep on helping them financialy in many ways, not just with gas electricity and water . i want one state solution, if israel has to go on military operations occasionally because of their terrorism. if we rule gaza, then there's less likelyhood of weapons accumulation in gazan hands. one state solution is the lesser evil, two state solutions in the ideal
66. DESPERATE
eric ,   paris FRANCE   (01.25.09)
by reading most comments from Israeli , It is incredible to see , the number of you who DON'T WANT PEACE. they just want to keep the land, the settlements and are even ready to expel, evict, DEPORT the palestinians to other arab countriies. Frankly speaking after years of occupation, years of denial and refusal of peace negotiation, this is an outrage !! USA and all other civilized nations should organise an embargo on Israel : Ban any importations any exportations, specialy WEAPONS but also Financial Ban, until you understand that YOU CAN NOT CONTINUE TO CONSIDER THE PALESTINIANS AS NOTHING; you have the right to have a peacefull ISRAEL, Palestionians have the right to have their state without your settlements, without your occupation army and with a part of JERUSALEM. Everybody knows this is the peace solution , you will the full responsabilty of the problems if you don't comply.
67. Israel's concern
Michael(UK) ,   Oxford   (01.25.09)
Seems to me that Israel's main concern is that a solution might be found in finding peace between Israel and Palestine. That wouldn't bode well for more land grabbing would it?
68. to 64
Gregg ,   Haifa   (01.25.09)
You should know that Haifa is a LEGAL settlement. And the settlers who threatening the Israeli State and its democracy are the ILLEGAL ones !! Those settlements are built against the Israeli law and therefore should be removed quickly !
69. Mitchell.. is an old Pal o mine... His Brother Colin

70. #68 GREG-HAIFA-- REFUSES TO FACE REALITY
AVRUM ,   CANADA   (01.25.09)
THE WORLD AND THE ARABS WILL NOT LIKE YOU ANY BETTER, IF YOU ARE A JEW IN HAIFA OR IN EUROPE OR IN AN "LEGAL" SETTLEMENT IS IT LEGAL FOR ARABS TO FIRE ROCKETS AT "ILLEGAL" SETTMENTS AND NOT YOUR "LEGAL" ONES?--THEY DON'T CARE. WHEN A PERSON'S MIND IS "OCCUPIED" WITH DETAILS , SMALL TOPICS, YOU LOSE THE LARGER PICTURE AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. AND ARE YOU FORGETTING THE 1000' OF ROCKETS? LOOK AROUND YOUR MID-EAST NEGHBORHOOD.
71. #50
David ,   USA, exile   (01.25.09)
Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to speak for the majority of Americans? Perhaps in the company you keep the majority may think like you but not all America. It is only in your sick, twisted, demented, pagan, western gentile mind and you better wake up soon because the enemies of Yisra'el are your enemies also and would love to slit your throat from ear to ear. America supports Yisra'el and when she stops supporting Yisra'el I will be on the next flight out. Obama may be sucked in by the cries of hamas as they hide behind their women and children but you are going to find that on this issue most Americans are going to be against Obama's policy. I didn't vote for the man and he doesn't speak for me and neither do you! Am Yisrae'l chai!
72. Robert Bernier # 53
David ,   USA, exile   (01.25.09)
If Yisra'el would change their immigration policy and allow those who profess to be Yisra'el but can't prove it to come home as your brother Ephraim I would gladly help you settle Galilee,Yhudea, Shomron or where ever would be the best for the nation. I would gladly join the IDF and proudly fight along side my brother Yhudi. Someday you will need us. I would gladly convert if I didn't have to renounce my Mashiach. But alas, the time is not here yet. Messianics are not welcome. I forgive you. Am Yisra'el chai! David
73. #68
David ,   USA, exile   (01.26.09)
There is no greater law than Torah. Torah says all the land is Yisra'el. So, it is the current law that says the settlements are illegal that is wrong. That makes the current Yisra'eli law anti Torah and illegal itself and the settlers are the true legal ones. Whe mans law goes against the Law of Hashem it only brings suffering. The wars are proof of it. If Yisra'el would T'shuvah then His Strong Right Arm would be your defense. He is HaShem Tzva'ot.
74. Promised Land
Galol Samudra ,   Canada   (01.26.09)
God gave the Promised Land to those Jews who obeyed His commandments and did not cause mischief on this earth. Except a few, what Commandments of God do the Jews follow ? Israel is nothing but a business entity created by Zionists to make money on the backs of stupid and naive Jews. Jews have never been humiliated as they have been ever since Israel has been created. Muslims never fried the Jews - and besides the Palestinians are Semites that were Jews and became Muslims when Judaism became a bogus religion. Very difficult to hear that but facts are facts - Is God pleased with Jews with what happened in Gaza? Jews are being tested by God - when God wants to punish any nation to a highest degree - he first humiliates them, then they promise to obey Him, He then makes them powerful and if they misuse their power against His creation: Land, Water, Air, Life, etc he lets them be arrogant - this is where Jews are at now .. mounting sins upon sins without fear of God … wait and see next 50 years.. Early sign on fierce punishment are on the horizon - unless Jews repent - humiliation is about to befall... Save your selves - listen to Moses and Davids and Jacob ; the Prophets of the Old - Peace be upon them
75. Let me take John's argument in another direction
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (01.26.09)
John (#51) writes, "If jews are europeans, they should go back to europe." In fact, they're not. The majority of Israel's Jews are indigenous to the region. Some have been in the land for generations (Jerusalem was majority Jewish by 1869.) The rest of that majority are descendants of Jews who were driven out of Arab lands after being despoiled of all property). Let's flip your argument around. "If the Palestinians are Arabs, they should go back to their Arab lands." That means today's Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Egypt.
