1. some things missing
(02.28.09)
Clinton does not seem to care about having a viable Jewish state. Clinton does not demand that Fatah and Hamas change their education system, including removing racist and inciteful texts Clinton does not demand that Hamas recognize Jews as human beings with the right to live.
2. Prediction for Hillary
Sheine   (02.28.09)
Hillary, you will fail, you will age yourself and break yourself on the rock Jerusalem. You are already a bit of a skreeky-voiced hag and will be furrowed, wrinkly and pug-ugly by the time you give up and slink away, tail between your legs.
3. #1 same could be said about israeli..
acid ,   care   (02.28.09)
texts and israeli common sentiment which fuels extreme right wingers politically. The evidence is in the talk backs on ynet..
4. I wrote to Hill
David ,   USA   (02.28.09)
basically telling her I was pro-Israel and asking if she would be supportive of Israel and this is the answer I got: "Secretary Clinton is committed to strengthening America's national security, advancing the interest of the United States, and restoring America's leadership position in the world."
5. #3 TB R trying to invigorate a lame fearfull government
historical reminder   (02.28.09)
who seems to cave in to arab world demands, and to arab propaganda just like the rest of the world. no one wants arabs to suffer, but we can all see they are trying to cram in with jews in perticularily in that little spot called israel. israel draws a lot of attention, and therefore a lot of written lies. people are calling to free palestine BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW PALESTINE WAS NOT AN INDEPENDENT STATE BEFORE JEWS CREATED AN INDEPENDENT STATE. and anyway, palestine was created by the mandate in the 20th century, before the mandate it was referred to as the jerusalem district or ramla district of acra district, as the empires that ruled the area didn't even know where palestine exactly is for centuries. ARABS MAY HAVE TAKEN HIGH RANKS IN THE OTTOMAN OFFICES BUT NOT PALESTINIAN ARABS. THEY DIDN'T EVEN OWN LAND IN PALESTINE BECAUSE THEY WERE TRYING NOT TO GET REGISTERED IN ORDER NOT TO PAY TAX OR GO TO THE OTTOMAN ARMY. THEY KEEP UP THIS TRAIT TILL THIS VERY DAY isn't it obvious to everyone arabs want to create a majority in this area, so that israel wouls cease to exist? it is obvious and it is infuriating that although it is obvious, people keep commenting as though it isn't
6. Systematic failure
Petra ,   United States   (02.28.09)
designed to present failure once more. Why do politicians try and meddle in Israel's concerns? Why would any one in their right mind try and 'establish a two state solution' when one of the parties is known for terror only? Clinton's the next in line to fail. The Saudi plan is dead before it starts.
7. # 3 Acid right wing. left wing,
(02.28.09)
8. # 5 I agree fully.
Petra ,   United States   (02.28.09)
9. Now here's a challenge, Madam Secretary!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (02.28.09)
Sell the "Two State" concept to Prime Minister Designate Netanyahu! This should be good! By the way Madam Secretary, do you remember your statement to AIPAC during your campaign about Israel's security? Words, words, we are so sick of words! Yasser Arafat made a fool out of your husband. Don't fall into the same trap! President Obama seems to have forgotten that those people he is trying to appease are the same ones who danced and celebrated on that day we call 9/11 and still call out "Death to America"! Nice friends you've got!
10. Filling the SecState's chair? Big job
Gideon Reader   (02.28.09)
The Secretary of lardbutted, cottage cheese thighs and self serving visits; who is on yet another "listening tour"(that means she is going through the motions, is totally lost in her new role. She obviously detests playing her role as "Albright 2.0" and is looking for sufficient material to unseat Zero the marxist Brotha' in the next election, based on his current self destruction of the American economy and general mal administration of the government with well spoken elan and gross practical stupidity. The Hildabeast does not care a whit about any of you poor peasants on either side of any border. She just wants to reinfest the White House. Maybe she can get a job as an understudy on "24"?
11. she doesn't mean it....
oded   (02.28.09)
afterwhat clinton's husband went thru with arafat(imach shemo) and his cornies, there's no doubt that hillary should know better... a viable palestinian state is already in presence-- jordan. we just need to work out the logistics of moving the arabs there.
12. What Clinton really means is that the US is commited to
Rivkah   (02.28.09)
Armageddon coming to pass because that is what the Prophet Joel says will be the consequence of dividing God's land.
13. What a joke; A country for a people that don't even exist!
Palestiniansareamyth ,   USA   (02.28.09)
How about a country for leprechauns? That sounds more sensible.
14. he who shouts the loudest shall get the more attention
a lot of arab voices   (02.28.09)
15. us committed to be a patron of 2 states & arab world opinion
is over presumptious   (02.28.09)
16. Get Lost !
(02.28.09)
17. 'Sensitive time in USA.' Israeli
Israeli Christian ,   Israel   (02.28.09)
Any kind of division of the territory, that was given by God Almighty to Jewish people only, won't provide Israel and Palestinians with more peace and security. It will bring on all of us, including US as active participant of the process (despite geographical remoteness), additional problems (in many fields) and additional curses (in spiritual realm). I wouldn't take chance!
18. There are 2 states already: Israel & Jordan
Sandi   (02.28.09)
YOU AND OBAMA WILL FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
19. Hillary
Brad ,   USA   (02.28.09)
Hillary needs to sew her big mouth shut, and get on her broom, and fly away before someone drops a house on her.
20. YO, Clinton...
Marco ,   Spain   (02.28.09)
The door to a two state solution is closing faster than you can blink. The only fair and reasonable solution to both sides, is the one state solution. 1 state where both sides can claim to have won the whole territory. Both parties living side by side in peace in a state where everyone enjoys equal rights with no descrimination. The Palestinians can claim that they have the whole territory and so can the Israelis. Voting will decide the path this state will follow in the future. Oh yes, the Palestinian refugees scattered through out the world will have the right to return and Jewish immigration from Russia and elsewhere will have to stop. Only middle eastern Jews will be allowed in. Have a nice day you all and thanks for taking the time to read my humble opinion.
21. The kiss of Esav.
David ,   USA, exile   (02.28.09)
She pledges a billion dollars to hamass and calls for Yisra'el to give terrorists half the land of Yisra'el, while smiling and saying "we are your ally." Don't you feel the teeth sinking into your neck? Can someone offer me a home in the wilderness? A place far away from this destructive government in my country.
22. Two state solution ridiculous
Richard ,   Boca Raton USA   (02.28.09)
The concept of Gaza and the West Bank forming a Palestinian country is an international mistake and will never work. Palestinians are Muslims and are taught that Jews are inferior and should be eliminated. It is sickening that the West (USA and Europe) kisses the butts of the Muslims, allowing them to spew hatred in their Mosques, while attacking Israel for defending itself. MOVE THE PALESTINIANS TO JORDAN AND WATCH THEM MAKE A MESS OF THAT PLACE.
23. Condi 2.....another AS!
Jjjay3 ,   Israel   (02.28.09)
24. #3, yeah just hope Israel don't find the God who established
them, the first time ,   and follow HIM!   (02.28.09)
25. We will be around after clinton. sheik
jason white ,   afula,israel   (02.28.09)
obama and that arab mitchell are history. These are the enemies of Israel and we will have a long,hard four years ahead of us till the U.S. regains it's senses and elects a Republican to the White House and one not named bush. The same for the both Houses.
26. Israelis Beware!
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (02.28.09)
Under the guise of "friend", Mrs. Clinton is seeking to undermine the strength and development of the Jewish presence in the Land of Israel. Have no mistake about it, Mrs. Clinton is out to weaken us, make our country small and indefensable, and curtail our settlement and development in our ancient homeland. Her every move is merely a manipulation to win our confidence with her in order to secure Jewish consessions visa vis the Arabs. -and nothing belies her intentions than her pursuit of the horrendous "two-state solution" proposal. Dear Mrs. Clinton, If you want to achieve peace in the Middle East allow free and unrestricted Jewish settlement in our Holy Land and stop giving hope and encouragement to yet another hostile Arab state that we will have to contend with. As a first move, bring your US embassy to Jerusalem.
27. #4-Is that also what she said when trying to garner the 78%
Alan ,   SA   (02.28.09)
Jewish votes for her boss when she was campaigning for him
28. "The Kiss" by Rodin and "Suha" by Hillary Clinton
Alan ,   SA   (02.28.09)
29. 'Change' What happened to your slogan?
(02.28.09)
30. What a Joke
AlbertoGA ,   St. George USA   (02.28.09)
The second State is Jordan or any Arab State. That is the only solution. All the rest will never work. Israel need fresh air. Hillary Stop the BS please
