32. #24: Sitting on bayonets...
Zeev ,   Haifa   (04.07.09)
Remember Napoleon's famous warning: "You can do many things with bayonets,- except sit on them"...
33. Refusing to commit suicide is a threat to peace??
sulamit ,   haifa, IL   (04.07.09)
Oh well... too bad. Get over it.
34. israel should stop
Palestinian   (04.07.09)
the violent and controlling occupation (no missiles from west bank). Annex the WB and Gaza or free Palestine pre 1967 borders. Palestinians have every right to stand up against the violent and controlling occupation.

36. I blame the American people
Steve   (04.07.09)
Like Goebells, President Bush lied about the Jews and the Islamic enemy. Bush boldly declared "(Islam's) teachings are good and peaceful, and those who commit evil in the name of Allah blaspheme the name of Allah." Bush claimed the real enemy is the Jews and their "occupation" of Muslim land. American bought all of these lies and then some. Bush charted a course for Israel's annihilation at the hands of our enemies. Americans were silent; and they were complicit in their collective support of President Bush's policies. Now the American people elected America's first Muslim-born president, Barack Hussein Obama, a true friend of the Muslim world. It's the American people who are at fault here.
37. to #34 there is violence from
ghostq   (04.07.09)
the west bank as well on a daily basis. hear r some of them: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3681960,00.html http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3515985,00.html http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/952532.html and the list goes on, so you see if you want IDF not to retaliate stop useing violence first.
38. There is NO PEACE PROCESS
(04.07.09)
How many times do people have to be told? While Israel exists there will be no peace. The arabs have made it quite clear they will not stop until Israel is destroyed. That is 100% fact. All Obama will do is force Israel to fight alone and believe me it will be UGLY.
39. #to 35 this map is not
ghostq   (04.07.09)
acutate at all who ever draw that map don't know Israel history http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safed the city was established by jews in 1544 ac . and as for tul karem was jewish in the book of jeremiah http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulkarm before islam counquest to Israel 1600 years ago.
40. ghostq is an idiot
Palestinian   (04.07.09)
The israli violent and controlling occupation started in 1967. The 1st in intifada was 1987, 2nd intifada was in 2000. So, which occured first the violent andcontrolling occupation or the resistance. Again annex the WB & Gaza or free Palestine in 1967 or the resistance and standing up for the violent and controlling occupation.
41. gsea #28: Word of advise re: #22
Steve   (04.07.09)
King Solomon offered good advice to those who argue with folks like #22: Leave the presence of a fool, Or you will not discern words of knowledge. Pro 14:7 Let a man meet a bear robbed of her cubs, Rather than a fool in his folly. Pro 17:12 A fool's lips bring strife, And his mouth calls for blows. Pro 18:6 When a wise man has a controversy with a foolish man, The foolish man either rages or laughs, and there is no rest. Pro 29:9
42. A nation of fearful wimps ?
Marcel ,   Florida   (04.07.09)
The 10 spies had the same lack of faith in God and saw themselves as fearful grasshoppers. When will Israel stop falling for every phony peace scam pushed by the decadent, decaying empire and learn to say no more ? A nation which stands for nothing falls for everything.
43. #35 - your link is rubbish
Observe this ,   The Jewish State   (04.07.09)
Thanks to the racist Mufti and anti-Jewish Ottoman and British rulers, Jews were not allowed to come to "Palestine". So maps showing percentages of inhabitants in the 1940's are a load of crock, since these items were controlled by Arabs. If you go back to the 19th century, you will see that the percentages are much different than on that map. But even more important - simple question - Where do Jews pray to and where do Muslims pray to? Israel is the the Jewish home. Always has been, always will be. Period.
44. To # 38
American   (04.07.09)
r u saying that AMERICA has given up the Negev base?
45. #28 gsea
levinas   (04.07.09)
I read a lot of TB and somehow when I see your signature, I know it's BS. This time no different. Of course Jews bought some land in Palestine. Can you give me some real numbers from 1947? How much of land was in Jewish hands back than??? For how much land did Jews actually pay and how much they've claimed in 48? Wouldn't be something around 6% ? And they've claimed 56%! How much % of the population represented Jews back then? They were not a majority even in the part meant for creation of Israel (after partition and before Naqba). So get real gsea and speak numbers!
46. you want numbers you can find here
gsea   (04.07.09)
some info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yehoshua_Hankin and also rotchild bout lands and there much like thos two were others.
47. #34 Resisting occupation PLUS 5 million Pals into Israel
Sam ,   Canada   (04.07.09)
When talking about resisting occupation and wanting the 1967 borders, Palestinians conveniently forget about demanding 5 million refugees into Israel. The Palestinian game is just a propaganda game. Their end game is always the end of a Jewish-majority Israel. That is why there is no political solution to the conflict. The Palestinians rely on the fact that there are more Arabs and Muslims and believe eventually they will destroy Israel. Then they complain about walls and checkpoints and curfews.
48. levinas #45
Steve   (04.07.09)
I read a lot of TBs and somehow when I see your signature, I know it's BS.. This time no different. Of course white Europeans bought some land in north America. Can you give me some real numbers from 1776 to 1830 when Congress passed the "1830 Indian Removal Act" at the behest of U.S. President (and Indian fighter) Andrew Jackson? How much of land was in White European hands back then in 1830??? How much Indian land was in the hands of greedy White European settlers, squatters and interlopers by the turn of the centrury? Do you know? For how much land did white Europeans actually pay and how much they've claimed in 1924 when Native Americans were finally granted citizenship? Why aren't you protesting white European depradations, theft, ethnic cleansings and expropriation of Native Americans and Mexicans? By conservative estimates, the population of the Native Americans prior to European contact was greater than 12 million. How much % of the population represented white Europeans when white Europeans began their conquest of north America? If they were not a clear majority what does this say about the morality of this "Manifest Destiny?" So get real levinas and speak numbers!
49. Time For A US Rethink
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (04.07.09)
The United States must rethink this unworkable two-state solution idea. Everyone here knows it is potentially suicidal for Israel to have an enemy state sitting on our necks. The US has to understand that the compactness of this very small land with its limited resources and given the history of hostility that the Arabs have demonstrated to the local Jewish population, another, second, state in our midst is not a practical nor intelligent solution. President Obama has to learn that repeatedly reiterating a bad idea will not make it any more feasible.
50. to#40 the arab violence toward the
ghostq   (04.07.09)
jews started in the 20's I personaly talked to an Israel who lost 2 of his family members in the jaffa riots, the arabs killed before 48 war innocent civilians. check the under the british mandate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaffa
51. obama's anti israel!
oded   (04.07.09)
never before has israel encountered such an anti israel administration, riddled with arab- loving appeasment. abbass is a miserable excuse for a ""leader" who like king hussein at his time, is stil alive thanks to the israelis. sen. mitchell is a dog without teeth, an billarry is a joke! so, obama, go f yourself!
52. WHAT PEACE???????
ecr   (04.07.09)
53. to #51 you r wrong
ghostq   (04.07.09)
good old Jimmy Carter was and still is the worst.
54. I am confused
Daniel ,   Tel Aviv   (04.07.09)
The Palestinians elected Hamas and business continues as usual. Netanyahu becomes PM of Israel and suddenly, peace is threatened. Wait, what peace is there to threaten at the moment? There is not even a functioning peace process... Did I miss something??
55. NO to pressure
Brod ,   USA   (04.07.09)
Israel can say NO to any external powers trying to play god on Israel. The fact is the Land of Israel is GOD-given and GOD-restored to the Jews. The dark forces-Islamist-Jihadist world and AntiSemites led by Satan hate it. Ergo, they are trying all ways and means to deceive and manipulate the world to make Israel succumb. Israel must remain resolute and strong in the face of these challenges. The GOD of Israel is in control. And He will destroy the dark forces in the End Time. If Obama were smart, he should not make the same mistakes that the past Presidents made. He should know his Holy Bible and the GOD of Israel as Harry Truman did.
56. And So Was Winston Churchill's Government!
David H ,   Marietta USA   (04.07.09)
There is a Marxist appeaser in the White House. We allowed N Korea to launch their ICBM. We are slashing our Defense budget. We are taxing our working population to death and passing those dollars onto the least productive and most parasitic members of our society, and you are worried about the foreign policy of Clinton/Obama? Thank God Bibi is your new PM. At least someone in the Western world has a spine left to defend civilization. (And no, I do not consider any nations of the Muslim world to be particularly civilized)
57. @title
gadi ,   sayeret   (04.07.09)
