1. How did Israel allowed itself to become a US colony?
Marcella   (02.07.09)
Why did you surrender your right to manage your own affairs? And by the way: Don't buy their terminology. It's not the TWO state solution. It's the THREE STATE SOLUTION. The land was already divided into Israel and Jordan. Now once again the land of Israel is being divided into "Palestine" and Israel. Jordan? Palestine? Israel was the only nation there for thousands of years. Palestine is a Roman name for a defeated Judea. And Jordan? That's the name of a river. Arabs? They came from Arabia.
2. And now for some well earned redicule
Gideon Reader   (02.07.09)
Biden is not called "Slow Joe" for nothing. With over thirty years in the U,S,Senate, Biden remains one of the stupidest people in American politics and prehaps, one of the stupidest people in the entire nation. Known for telling "whoppers" and creating past history from whole cloth, VP Biden is the only thing that makes me hope for the safety of PrezZero the Marxist Brotha'. Fear of Biden being the President is palpable throughout the country. He does have a valid use. That of comedy relief based on his performance shtick; which is based on his dopiness and tomfoolery, boosted by his outlandish statements and lies of epic proportions.
3. Biden should shut up
Brod ,   USA   (02.07.09)
Biden the Papist should stop playing god on Israel. Why would he be harping this crap now during the height of Israel's election? It is up to the people of Israel to determine their destiny. It is not up to AntiSemites and Islamist-Jihadists to determine Israel's national security interests, survival and existence. For too long these dark forces have been in cahoots in trying to destroy Israel. Israel must remain resolute and strong in defending its national security interests and against internal and external enemies. It is time America's leaders stop being fooled and manipulated by the world of the dark forces-Islamist-Jihadists and AntiSemites.
4. Mr. Abbas terror agenda is no secret!
Anders Branderud ,   Täby, Sweden   (02.07.09)
An article by PMW dated 7/3-2008 “In an interview with Jordanian newspaper Al-Dastur last week, Mr. Abbas spoke with pride of violence he had waged in his past, suggested that terrorism could start anew in the future, and essentially backed away from repeated statements that he "recognizes" Israel's right to exist. A top congressional appropriator, Foreign Operations Chairman Nita Lowey, said flatly, "President Abbas' recent statements cast doubt on his willingness to take the steps necessary for peace with Israel." But Mr. Abbas' comments alone likely would not have sparked this fracas. Just one day after news of the interview shocked key legislators and staffers, who learned of it last Thursday when it was translated into English by watchdog group Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), the administration sent over its plan for $150 million in direct cash assistance to Abbas' PA. "What were they [administration officials] thinking sending over the request the day after Abbas announces he's open to re-starting terrorism and doesn't really recognize Israel's right to exist?" asked one miffed Hill staffer.” Source: http://www.pmw.org.il/getresults/media/i209358.html This demonstrates that Abbas has NO PART in any solution. Fatah has NO part in any solution. USA:s vice president Joe Biden suggests a solution in which a terror supporting group should get their own state. Proofs of Fatah:s support of terrorism: http://www.camera.org/index.asp?x_context=2&x_outlet=36&x_article=1278 There is only one solution. The solution is presented in talkbalks by Paqid Yirmeyahu [http://www.ynetnews.com/Ext/App/TalkBack/CdaViewOpenTalkBack/1,11382,L-3659043,00.html ;talk balks 23, 25, 26, 27] From Anders Branderud Geir Toshav, Netzarim in Ra’anana www.netzarim.co.il
5. Biden/obama shut up!
Sandi   (02.07.09)
6. Biden also recommended a 3 state solution for Iraq. Schmuck
(02.07.09)
7. Biden
Brad ,   USA   (02.07.09)
So, Biden got his foot out of his mouth long enough to talk stupid again. We don't need a 2 state solution in "Palestine". We need the Arab Muslims to return to their Arab Muslim third world toilets, and stop warring against Israel. We also need Joe Biden, and Osama Obama to sew their mouths shut.
8. BRITISH MANDATE WAS A 2 STATE SOLUTION: JORDAN AND ISRAEL!
JORDAN IS PALESTINE   (02.07.09)
YOU CANT CARVE UP ISRAEL AGAIN! HOW MANY STATES DO THESE FALSE "PALESTINIANS" NEED?
9. Joe biden and the left wing nutjobs support and appease.....
Kick arabs out!   (02.07.09)
terrorism!
10. JORDON AND ISRAEL WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TWO STATE SOLUTION!
GET REAL ,   USA   (02.07.09)
11. What a genius!
Jack ,   San Diego, USA   (02.07.09)
12. Hey Joe!! has that been the solution for the past 60 years.
RJBH ,   Methil   (02.07.09)
13. #8 and #10 Israel spitting on Balfour declaration
Avi ,   Israel   (02.07.09)
Unfortunately Israel has always been spitting on Balfour declaration. Let's not forget the text: Foreign Office, November 2nd, 1917. Dear Lord Rothschild, I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet: "His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country". I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation. Yours sincerely Arthur James Balfour Had Israel respected this text our region would be much different today. The political turmoil here is by no means helped by the discrimination of our Arab citizens. Yes, they're among the most privileged in the ME but never come to tell they have equal rights in Israel!
14. You Incredible Hypocrites
Connie ,   USA   (02.07.09)
The exact same people who are here calling Biden and Obama names are the SAME people who adored Bush, who advocated ...... THE TWO-STATE SOLUTION. Don't believe me, here's his speech, delivered in the Rose Garden, pushing the TWO-STATE SOLUTION. http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/gwbushtwostatesolution.htm
15. To Avi 13#: They have more rights! And you know they do!
Arabs should pay ,   taxes first!   (02.07.09)
"Yes, they're among the most privileged in the ME but never come to tell they have equal rights in Israel! "
16. Did he think that up all by himself???
Chaya ,   Bat Yam   (02.07.09)
Wow - that's amazing. What a creative idea. I don't think I've heard that idea before!!
17. NO, to 2 state solution....
Marco ,   Spain   (02.07.09)
Sorry Biden, but the 2 state solution is no longer an option. The answer is a one state under the name of Israel or Palestine or what ever the hell you want to call it. One man one vote with the Palestinians granted the right of return.
18. Hypocritius. That's the Greek doctor, right?
Gideon Reader   (02.07.09)
Connie, USA #14(with her knickers in a twist) Wrong Poopsie! I deplored the Two State solution because it is NOT a solution, as much as a reciepe for disaster. Condi rice and her boss Geroge w. Bush were as wrong as these two clowns, "slow Joe" Biden and his clueless dork boss, Zero the Marxist Brotha' are as wrong as those who preceded them. Problem these fools are looking for the "solution" to a problem at the ass end of the equation. Starting with an answer and trying to force the rest into place. Poor policy based on low intellect and pee poor advisors. Worse is that there is a huge number of people who do NOT realize that these drunks and punks have not a clue as to what is happening or going to happen. Unintended Consequences is their middle names. Except for the guy who has "Hussein" for a moniker.
19. It doesn't matter anymore what anybody should feel like...
John ,   Europe   (02.07.09)
2 state solution is the only option for Israel's survival. Or genocide over Palestinians/Arab allies. 1) Palestinians in refugee camps still wait and dream of their Palestine. And what was that that Jews kept alive and not assimilated all these centuries? Why - dream of Israel! So in a sense, Palestinians are about to take the same road Jews used many centuries before. The only way to prevent this "accumulation of ideology" is either genocide or a state called Palestine. 2) If Palestine exists, Arabs will have no choice then to recognize Israel as a Jewish state. Which in legal terms mean that they can do squat shit to change the constitution, EVEN if multitude of refugees come back! Let me be more clear: there is even legal protection that a country can take over another country by "flooding" it with people, IF - IF! - there is the main country of these "new people". So, Kanada cannot be turned to USA, even if 1 bilion Americans would move there since - there is USA! Refugees problem solved. 3) Refugees would be more willing to settle with money compensation and new permanent place to reside then to go back in Tel Aviv where they will be looked upon. Its a proven fact, shown very nicely in the last Balkan wars. 4) Dudes, you signed it. Sorry. You can now shout that Arabs' spited on their part of agreement - and that is TRUE, but, hey, do you REALLY want to be looked upon like nations look on Arabs? Jews are perceived badly, true, but no one EVER thought that they are thugs and savages. Arabs, at least where I live, are perceived as thugs, savages etc. So stick to the signatures. ALL arguments telling "Yes, but there IS no Palestinians, can you name me any compositor or any public person short of Abbas and Arafat that is known and is Palestinian? They are Arabs" - all this arguments are TRUE. But they COUNT FOR NOTHING. Why? Because creation of a nation is a PROCESS, not a moment. Hell, if you do not remember, Hashem turned Jews round and round for 40 years all across the desert, although the distance between Mitzraim and Israel is about 1 month of walk! So why did He do that? Not just because of tears of nation or betrayal of Elders or golden calf: He did it so He can make them a NATION. They have to FEEL like a nation. And Palestinians, unfortunately for Israelies, today FEEL like Palestinians, as nation unity. And you cannot "un-feel" the national unity.
20. Evacuate settlements, divide Jerusalem and end this...
(02.07.09)
before it's too late. Otherwise Israel will become and Arab majority state.
21. jewish majority
mark ,   jerusalem   (02.07.09)
why not inform yourself about the actual demographic facts. www.israeldemography.com there is positive jewish demographic momentum!!
22. Evacuate in your short Maroon.
Gideon Reader   (02.07.09)
#20 Nobody Why what a clever fellow/girl (maybe half and half) you are. What about you utilize the last firing synapses you have and consider,...hozabout, ALL of Judea and Samaria, the Golan and Galilee being annexed. The residents given a choice of a loyalty oath (one time) swear total alligence to israel or be given second class status as resident alien. No citizenship. Leave if you do not like it. Do not let the brass doorknow hit you wear the skidmarks mulitply. Hozat grab you bunky?
23. 2 states israel???
abraham ,   jerusalem   (02.07.09)
when the usa shall give back states to the original natives indians , the cheyenes , mowhaks, apache , whom they stole thei country, then mr bidden shall have the right to tell israel to divide and give more than half its territories to people who never in history had them
24. Obama should control the loose canon
Brod ,   USA   (02.07.09)
Obama worst mistake is picking Biden as VP. Biden is a loose canon who is worst than Cheney. He is trying to play President and control the President. Now he is trying to usurp the State Department. Obama may have to fire Biden sooner or later before the latter gets out of control.
25. the "two-state solution"
tom ,   toronto, canada   (02.07.09)
there already ARE two states, an arab state and a jewish state, on the former territory of palestine, and they have been there for a long time. in 1923, britain created an arab-only state of palestine, gave it 78% of the land of palestine, and named it "transjordan". today it is called "jordan", and it is arab palestine, just as israel is jewish palestine. the americans now propose to create ANOTHER arab palestine (or possibly two), in the west bank and gaza, run by and for the terrorists who are firmly in charge there. this would be carved out of the 22% of palestine left for a jewish homeland. and if fatah and hamas can't agree, like squabbling children, they would each get a shiny new "palestine" to launch their attacks from. that would make it "four-state": jordan, israel, fatahland and hamastan (so as not to confuse people). apart from the obvious problem of deniability (already abu mazzen is washing his hands of attacks carried out in gaza, and hamas is putting the blame for rocket attacks on fatah and islamic jihad), but there will be further diplomatic troubles from giving the arab bloc two more votes at the united nations, to israel's one. but most of all, why call this a "solution"? never have israeli territorial concessions led to any lasting peace, and never has any arab terrorist organization kept any promises. as anyone can see, this is neither "two-state" nor a "solution", so why is the new american administration pushing it?
26. The Gaza and South Lebanon pullouts worked really well...
Bennie ,   Jerusalem   (02.08.09)
Hamas and Hezbollah set up terrorist states and thousands of missiles where Israel pulled out. Now Biden wants to set up Hamas terrorist states in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. He had just as well hand the whole Middle East to Iran.
27. 17# fine, But would you
Daniel   (02.08.09)
give us the right to return to Spain after you explled us back in 1492? Well if you do you can replace me and I want to see you live with those friendly people you call palestinians..
28. John 19# you put it right!
Daniel ,   Israel   (02.08.09)
I like how you you put it so realisticly! I think you're very right! As much as I wanted to see things differently you bring the cold, hard and true reality!
29. DON'T GIVE AWAY GOD'S LAND!!!!!!
Maria ,   MD   (02.08.09)
DON'T DIVIDE GOD'S LAND!!!!!! Do you want more deadly hurricane? NO. So don't give away God's land!!!!
30. Marco...there's no such thing as Palestinians!!!!
Maria ,   MD   (02.08.09)
The modern Palestinians are Arabs from Jordan.They became Palestinians overnight in 1967.
