I don't know if the majority of Jews are ready to compromise on Jerusalem or not. However, it is the position of the present Israeli government that it will not. If France, the USA and others would prefer a different Israeli offer, they will have to wait for the next Israeli election and hope for an Israeli government with a different offer that is acceptable to the Israeli people. No respectable Israeli party will cave in to outside sources on the core issues. Israel is not Czechoslovakia.(Jerusalem,refugees,borders)

This blatant interference in Israel's own affairs shows France's true Arabist colors. How about Israel instructing France to give half of Paris and Marseille to the Muslim immigrants?

Kouchner the half jewish is in reality a closet muslim. The best friend of this opportunist who turned back from the left, to the right of the political spectrum, was mussa sadr, a shia who was one of the founders of the Amal and Hezbollah terror group in teh 80's. H edisspaeared mysteriously in Lybia, probably executes by Gadaffi. On eof the bets thing the Lybian has done so far. This is why Mr big mouth Kouchner snubbed Gadaffi in his last Paris stay. Don't matter what Kouchner thinks, Jeruslem will be ternally the cpital of Israel. Thos ewho think otherwise can drink the water from the Mediterranean. It won't change the fact !

like he said he will put Arafat in prison and later he shaked his hand and was one step before signing a peace deal .... who believe him .

tough! Long Live Israel! Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

And now Israel has better American planes and France lost a big customer. France has been pro-Arab since DeGaulle.

Don't worry, ze French are losing their heritage, identity and honor on the altar of Jihadist Islam, all this while happily playing the accordion, drinking Beaujolais and preaching to others how to run their countries. As somebody said about their "contribution" to the Iraq War : "Going to war without the French is like going hunting without an accordion. You leave behind a lot of noisy baggage." Want to see more of the French military and political achievements? Visit this site: http://www.9types.com/chatboard/messages/20061.html Add to that the comment of the Ffrench Ambassador to UK referring to Israel as "... that little shitty country..." and one can understand why their occasional anti-Semitic babble does not interest anybody in Jerusalem anymore? What about France, returning Alsace to the Germans, Brittanny to UK, Ivory Coast to Africa, "French" Guyana and their Polynesian "possesions" to their RIGHTFUL OWNERS and only THEN be our "anti-colonial moral mentors"! Besides, Jerusalem is ALREADY back into their rightful builders and owners - the Jewish people!

Nobody falls for your imbecile rants, insults, racism and genocidal dreams. Your hatred only focuses us and builds our determination to fight you and your crazed Islamist "brothers" for as long as it is necessary. We've survived for thousands of years of anti-Semitism and genocide. Do you think that now, that we've returned to our ancestral lands and capital we'll survive any less? I like that you, unlike Bibi, have "Israelis interest in mind", but you'll excuse me if I prefer Bibi or ANY OTHER Jewish patriot over a pathetic Jihadist agitator ANY DAY!

Where were the French when Abbas declared that he will never recognize Israel as a Jewish state??? SCHMOCKS!!!

Palestinian People has the right to free choice of one’s own acts without external compulsion according to the Charter of the United Nations: http://www.hrweb.org/legal/unchartr.html United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3236, 1974 recognizes the Palestinian people's right to self determination,

Palestine never has been, isn't now and never will be a country. I think you have to be a country to have a capital. Coma, huh? You're brain dead.

TOLD reporters in Paris.... THAT HE WANT HIS JOB SO MUCH...THAT HE HAS TO SPEAK TO HIS CONSTITUENTS FIRST

WHOM I DONT PROMOTE NOR RECOMEND, THE OLD FRENCH KINGSHOUSE, THE PRECENT KINGSHOUSE OF SPAIN, WILL GO BACK TO FRANCE. IT IS THIS NATION IN EU, ISRAEL WILL SUFFER HER GRATEST PAIN UNDER, DURING THE 7 YEAR COVENANT ISRAEL WILL MAKE WITH EU. Orao.

French bashing today? Israel is really going to be doing this ALONE- peace- when the cows come home....

political and it is even more falable than the pope. Forget about titles : Justice pledges allegiance to no one. for the past 3000 plus years jersualme has ONLY been the capital of the jewish homeland and there has NEVER ever been any othe sovereign nation in this particular land, not arab, not "palestinain, not mongolian. no one. Time for Jordan to revert back to being called what it was for centuries..."palestine". its 78% of the palestine mandate and its population is 80% palestinian. the king's family are foreigners from whats now saudi arabia. let the "palestinians" have jordan. there is no easy solution but this is the most just of the scenarios spoken of. its its 78% of palestine mandate" land , and the population is overwhelmingly palestinian.

For the past 3000 plus years Jersusalem has ONLY been the capital of the Jewish homeland, and no other nation's. Not in over 3000 years... point #2 There has NEVER ever been any othe SOVEREIGN country in this particular land, not arab, not "palestinain, not mongolian. no one. point #3 Israel, as the land of the children of israel (JEWS), is the only nation who's native population is identified as indigenous in the original scriptures of ALL 3 religions. The Torah, The Christian Bible, and the Koran all write that Israel is the land of the children of Israel (JEWS) Time for Jordan to revert back to being called what it was for centuries..."palestine". its 78% of the palestine mandate and its population is 80% palestinian. the king's family are foreigners from mecca in what's now saudi arabia. let the "palestinians" have jordan return to being "palestine". there is no easy solution but this is the most just of the scenarios spoken of: its 78% of palestine mandate" land , and the population is overwhelmingly palestinian. Jordan is your 2 state solution.

"We reiterate the need for a freeze on colonisation activities, including those linked to natural population growth," Foreign Ministry spokesman Frederic Deagneaux added. How would the French feel if we told them, "We reiterate the need for a freeze on colonisation activities in France, including those linked to natural population growth..." (?)

he is not liying. Muslems from East Jerusalem, and of all Israel can come to pray at Alaksa. The people from the West Bank have another status for Security reason, as well as Lebanese or Syrians, or Saudi Arabians. But this Staus is not because they are muslims but because for the moment their status is Casus Beli. So don't try to be so samrt and think the raeders here ar stupid. All Palestinians and Jordans for 19 years forbid any Jew not only Israelies to pray at the Wailing Wall. Since the outcome of the 6th day war Israel left the Jurisdiction of the Mosque to the Wakf, Ipersonally think that was stupid. But that shows the difference between Israel and any Arab government regarding freedom of faith. sfter 1948 Jordan invaded parts of East Jerusalem which were completaly Jewish. Al, the synagogues in the Jewish Quarter destroyed, teh Wailling Wall was full of Trash the Cementary at Mount of Olives desacrated. Muslims most of the time destrys other peolples culture. Loke the Talibans in Afganistan with the Budist Statues, Jewish Places under Jordan or Palestinian ruling. Progroms in most arab capital against Jewish sites after the creation of Israel. I hope this time Ynet will publish my comment somebody has tu put on it's place this Arab and Palestinian liers. They want to rewrite the Jerusalem History by denying that even the temple existed that it was a Jewish Lie, no matter how much archeological evidence there is they now argue that we have artificially produced it.

of Israelies dont want to give back any part of Jerusalem. Jerusalem was founded by David a Jewish King with the taxes of all the tribes, that means from the people. A city build with the money of all the Jewish people not only the King. It was reconquerd in 1967 after loosing it 1948 to the Jordanians. Jerusalem has sostained a Jewish Mayority since 1853 according to Otoman census of the City. Jerusalem was never the Capital of an arab Kingdom. is not mentioned in the Q'uran not even once. Not even by the arab name Al Quds. Jeruslem is mentioned in the Tora, in the Tanach and even in the New Testament more than 800 times. .

We’ll see in few years when they will claim the half of Paris and London as their capital too… It will come… wait and see... it will happen sooner than you believe !!! UK will be probably UKM (United Kingdom of Muslims) and RF => RFM (République Française Musulmane)… Soon…

Let me translate the opinion of Homer Simson of this distinguished diplomat: לאכול גבינה-להיכנע הקוף

Enough with Arab arrogance and ignorance. Check the Koran, lady. Mecca, Medina. No Jerusalem. It's Jewish. Choke on it.

Nothing new. It's known that the Arabs set the French political agenda.

I think I smell a double standard. Why doesn't he accuse the Palestinians of the same thing when they INSIST that Jerusalem MUST be divided as part of any peace deal? Isn't that equally "prejudicing" the so-called "peace process"?
