1. PALESTINIAN STATE !!!.
ORAO STRANKA. ,   TSARIGRAD U SRBIA.   (05.17.09)
GAZA ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF JEHOVAH, IS THE STATE OF THE FILISEES/PALESTINIANS. THERE IS NO OTHER SOLUTION IN THE WORD OF JEHOVAH. AND THIS STATE DO NOT LIVE IN PEACE WITH ISRAEL. SHOULD THEY NOW BE GIVEN PARTS OF ISRAEL, THE LAND OWNED BY JEHOVA, BECAUSE OF THEIR ENIMOSITY ???. Orao.
2. #1 ENIMOSITY?
observer   (05.17.09)
they Love Israel, They Love God. If Israel sees that their love will increase the suffering of the Jewish people, then it is for its own interest; to hasten the coming of Moshiach.
3. Unfortunately, Bibi has to say no
Steve   (05.17.09)
In an ideal world, we could make peace with the Palestinians tomorrow and this whole issue would be finished. In reality this simply isn't possible. Unless the terrorism stops, and the Palestinians renounce violence and recognise Israel's right to exist, there cannot be peace or a 2 state solution. As Prime Minister, it is Netanyahu's job to first and foremost keep the people of Israel safe. If he allows Obama to pressure him into accepting the 2 state 'solution', the consequences will be deadly.
4. Steve #3: What's your term "Unfortunately?"
Steve   (05.17.09)
In an ideal world, there would be no "Palestinian" enemy living on Jewish land. Even if the terrorism stops (as you say) and these people all become saints, they have no right to our land. Period. End of story, Steve. As Prime Minister, it is Netanyahu's job to keep the people of Israel safe but it is also his job to protect our land from usurpers and theives Steve; all of it. Sincerely, Steve
5. Bibi do NOT bow to the Saudis ;like Obama did
Ben Israel ,   Kiryat Arba   (05.17.09)
Bibi you are a Jew and the PM of Israel it is your job to keep Israelsafe and secure. Obama was created by the Saudis, Khalid Al Mansour who former Manhattan Borough Chairman Percy Sutton named as the one who funneled his tuition money to Harvard from the Saudis. He is their man this is why he bowed so low to his Master the Saudi King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz You Bibi are beholding to God and the Jewish people and to no other. Chazak V'Ematz!
6. #3 Steve, that's too simplistic
Chaim   (05.17.09)
You are right of course; terror, violence, and rejectionism are serious obstacles to peace, and without overcoming them, the two state solution will not last. But like in every conflict, this one has more than one side. Until the Israeli "towns", "outposts", "settlements" - or whatever other euphemism you prefer to use for the Jewish colonies in the West Bank - are dismantled from the formerly Arab land upon which they are built, what reason do the Palestinians have to abandon the aforementioned tactics? Until Israel makes a formal commitment of some kind to working towards a two state solution, what reason do the Palestinians have to recognise it? Until we lift the checkpoints that have turned their territories into dozens of isolated districts, what incentive do they have to change tactics? We need to recognise - in more than just mere rhetoric - that the Palestinians are a legitimate people, with legitimate national rights and territorial claims, and then move forward in our negotiations. The solution you present would have them renounce their only bargaining chips, immoral and repugnant as those might be, and then hope that Israel's goodwill will result in a Palestinian state. Clearly, that is not a reasonable assumption. We can come to a compromise, where the demands of both sides are met. Terror can end - but so must the colonization of Palestinian land. Violence can be renounced - but so must the Israeli military presence in Palestinian land. The Palestinians may recognize our right to exist - but we, too, must recognize the right of Palestine to exist. Negotiations are a two way street, we cannot be so arrogant or condescending so as to demand that they submit to all our demands while we offer them nothing in return.
7. Hold the line on this one, Netanyahu
Cameron ,   USA   (05.17.09)
Catastrophically stupid to reward the Arabs with the erection of a 2nd state given their barrage of bs antics of the last no. of years. No serious moves in this direction till Hamas is removed from the picture. That, and for once & all, formally put the kibosch on that "Right of Return" nonsense to Israel proper.
8. Chaim #6: May I ask, where do you live?
Steve   (05.17.09)
What you've witten is delusional. One does not colonize one's own land. Get over it Chaim. The land belongs to the Jews. All of it.
