1. European Union
Harris ,   West Palm Beach   (03.27.09)
It is interesting that the EU is already threatening the new Israeli government, before it is even formed. Where is the threat to Hamas? Does any sane and fair-minded person believe that Israel can trust Hamas in any "peace deal"? The EU is operating from a position of fantasy!
2. So whats Gaza then..
Daniel ,   LA, CA, USA   (03.27.09)
if not a palistinian state? 2 years ago we pulled out completely. Their fault for not being able to pull themselves out of violence and create a peacfull state. example: what happend to the greenhouses we left them to help give them an agricultural head start? o ya, they destroyed them cause they were made by infedels. they already have Gaza what more do they want?
3. What "Palestinian calls for statehood"?
Darren ,   Oakland, CA   (03.27.09)
All the Palestinians have to do is declare a Palestinian state! The only calls I hear for a Palestinian state are the ones coming from non-Palestinians!! What a crock!!!
4. just another European "final solution"
Ivri   (03.27.09)
NEVER AGAIN.
5. Huh!
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (03.27.09)
Given Europe's history with Jews, they really need to tread lightly and very, very warily around Israel. That said, I suppose Israel could demand a two-state solution for the Spain and the Basque people. And a two-state solution for the Walloons and Flemands in Belgium. Israel could also demand that the six northern Ireland counties be restored to Ireland. And so on and so forth ad nauseum. Who the hell is the European Union to make demands upon Israel? Europe is one giant Jewish cemetery; have they forgotten that? Well, Israel should remind them. Actually -- I feel rather sorry for Western Europe. Every single member nation of the EU has a large, vocal and unrly, uncooperative Moslem population. My heart bleeds for poor, old Europe. The sooner they go the way of the woolly mammoth, the better. It'll happen, too -- 1.2 children per family among Europeans, and something like 7 children per family in the Moslem population. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of countries.
6. In the Time of the end...
Psalms 83 ,   Selah   (03.27.09)
The Tanach said all nations will be at odds with israel....Only G-d would be on Israels side.... The question is who's side are you on....????
7. BIBI
Max ,   USA   (03.27.09)
Isn't Bibi supposed to be worried about what is best for Israel first and all allies second. Is is tiresome to hear every leader commenting on what other leaders should do. I hope Mr. Netanyahu worries about doing what HE thinks is right first, and all else second.
8. EU threat
Gary A. Glaser ,   Hutchinson, MN, USA   (03.27.09)
The EU is living in fantasyland. Not even the Palestinian Arabs are commited to a 2 state solution. So why isn't the EU threatening Hamas because they haven't come out in support of a 2 state solution.
9. #1 harris in West Palm
Sean ,   Montreal, Quebec   (03.27.09)
The question you posed could easily be put from the other direction....Does any sane and fair-minded person believe that Hamas can trust Israel in any "peace deal"?
10. in your own words bibi -"if you give you get"(END)
avram moshe   (03.27.09)
11. will EU take responsibility for ethnic cleansing? if no jews
israeli   (03.27.09)
shall live in palestine, then no arabs shall live in israel. otherwise, if jews and arabs live in both countries, what's the point in having another state in such a small area? palestinian call for independence means to destroy israel, EU doesn't get it.
12. #3 that's because arabs in israel have a much better life
then palestinians   (03.27.09)
13. The European Union is violating International Law..
Alexander ,   Herzliya, Israel   (03.27.09)
..by threatening and blackmailing Israel and intruding into Israel's national affairs, independence and sovereignty and this must be dealt with in the proper and appropriate manner. Behind the smiles, costumes, dinners and toasting, the EU politicians are using their economic power and "humanitarian reputation" for committing a crime against humanity - against the Jewish people - and violating Israel's independence - which goes against the very same International Law that EU claims it honors. Double standards in dear old Europe. The EU states are democratic but nonetheless the psychology of the Europeans has not changed. Europeans are still very much the enemies of the Jewish people and Israel. Israel should be watchful of the EU and make new alliances and economic ties further east.
14. EU, you know what you can do w/your opinions!
US   (03.27.09)
Shove them where the sun doesn't shine. Ditto for the US.
15. The EU demands, the EU warns..
Douglas Miller ,   Detroit, USA   (03.27.09)
The EU demands a 2 state solution. Well they already got their wish. In fact they got more than 2 states, they have 23 states. There's little Israel and then there is Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Saudia Arabia, etc, etc. The EU is smart enough to know that the so called "2 state solution" is a code word for the eradication of Israel. And while they are out there making demands may be the EU should demand that Iran stop it's race for nuclear weapons and stop funding and training terrorist gangs. And while the EU is making demands maybe they should demand that the Arabs call off their genocidal war of annihilation against Israel and demand that the Arabs recognize the Jewish state. While they're at it maybe the EU should demand that the Moslems inside their own borders end their anti-Semitic violence.
16. Left-winger Olmert could not get a deal
Sam ,   Canada   (03.27.09)
Israel is not Czechoslovakia as Ariel Sharon said and is not about to capitulate to the Palestinians to appease some pompous Western politicians.Palestinians don't just want any state are not about to get one any time soon if they stick to their demands. Modern day Jews aren't going to roll over for a Europe soaked with Jewish blood.
17. They already have Jordan and Gaza
Steve ,   San Francisco   (03.27.09)
Enough with their states already!!!
18. the final defeat of the so called peace process
Golan ,   SL   (03.27.09)
the left and the left of center in Israel insisted that Israel make concessions so the world would be on our side when a war broke out. Well even after the disengagement and two wars we see that no matter what Israel gives up the world is and will always be against us. And why shouldn;t they? No one fears Jewish violence, only Arab/Islamic violence especially when it is supported by the international left/Academia.
19. to #1,2,3
Palestinian ,   Palestine   (03.27.09)
Please remember, the Palestinians are not the occupiers, and without EU Israel is not here, and not riding over our chests and our land.
20. Much of Europe is already under the Islamic heel!
martin knopfman ,   tel aviv   (03.27.09)
Sadly, most of Europe surrendered to Islam without a fight and now expects Sharia. How could or should Israel please it? It won't be able to. England (which is where I was born and grew up) has shown several signs of surrender in the last 4 months. The Dutch have been leaving Holland in droves, Norway and Sweden have a huge rape crisis that they can only kowtow too. Spain and Switzerland have no chance. It is probably too late for France. The list goes on. Martin
21. THE 7 YEAR COVENAT WITH EU !!!.
Orao Stranka. ,   Tsarigrad u Srbia.   (03.27.09)
DANIEL CHAPTER 9. VERS 27. WHICH GOVERNMENT IN ISRAEL WILL MAKE THIS COVENANT. GREECE AND DANMARK, FROM THE ORIGINAL 12 EU MEMBERSTATES, WILL LEAVE THE EU SO IT BECOMES ONLY 10. GREECE WILL GO TO THE NEW POWER RISING IN THE BALKANS UNDER MIKAEL THE PRINCE, DAN.CHAP.12.,VERS 1. 4.MOS.CHAP.24.,VERS.24. ONE OF THE STATES OF CHITTIM. DENMARK WILL GO TO A SCANDINAVIAN UNION. Orao.
22. #2 They want Arab East Jerusalem too
Nick Nikora ,   Gisborne New Zealand   (03.28.09)
A future Palestinian state would include Arab East Jerusalem as well as Gaza and a stop to the land grabbing and destruction of Palestinian homes on the West Bank. That shouldn't be too difficult. a concession. Should it?
23. #5 I think you're missing the point...
Nick Nikora ,   Gisborne New Zealand   (03.28.09)
to which former Israeli PM Ariel Sharon managed to grasp. That is there is only a two-state solution available to both Israelis and Palestinians for ever lasting peace in the ME. Sharon knew that and he also knew that demographically time was against Israel with 7 children per Palestinian family and about 1.2 children per Israeli family so he started some serious negotiations with the Palestinians unfortunately ill-health took him out of the picture before he was able to complete what he had started.
24. No 2-state business. Strong Israel is more important.
Kirk ,   USA   (03.28.09)
Palis lost their chance for a homeland. I am not interested in Hama-SS-tan next door to Israel. it is clear they have no good intentions together with Iran which is the next Jungle we have to deal with.
25. Ignore EU, its now a cesspool of arabs with ignorant threats
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (03.28.09)
26. To the EU. Don't You Dare Threaten US
Dav Lev ,   Burbank. CAUSA   (03.28.09)
A warning, my oh my, should we Jews cower the way our brethren did throughout Europe just 68 years ago, when indifference and hatred resulted in 6m brutal deaths and 5m other deaths? Hey EU, from my lips, go to *(*)*(^. We are NO LONGER walking into our own suicide. We now have 400 nukes, and can reaim them anytime. You have your nerve. Why don't you threaten Hamas, Hez, Syria and Iran..not to mention the Sudan? Bibi is not perfect, and maybe a 2 state solution is the least of all bad worlds...but don't you dare threaten us. Don't you dare. My uncles fought in the Rhineland and France to keep you from all speaking German. Remember that you imbaciles.
27. It is about time
Ron   (03.28.09)
