Rivkah   (06.24.09)
eat a plain baked yam every day or every other day to effect a gradual weightloss. If he adds to that two 500 microgram tablets of chromium picolinate, that will greatly reduce sugar cravings.
3. IF THERE IS TRUST JEWS AND ARABS CAN LIVE SIDE BY SIDE
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (06.24.09)
IN THE REST OF ISRAEL,THERE IS NO DISTINCTION TO WHOM YOUR NEIGHBOUR SHOULD BE,PROVIDED THAT HE KEEPS THE PEACE.IF ARABS AND JEWS CAN LIVE AND WORK TOGETHER,THERE IS NO NEED TO HAVE TERRITORY DESIGNATED AS EITHER ARAB OR JEWISH.SUFFICIENT TRUST OBVIATES THIS NEED FOR TERRITORIAL CONCESSIONS .THE QUALITY AND CONTRIBUTION TO A BETTER LIFE WILL THEN NATURALLY FLOW.TALK OF "THEM" AND" US "IS WHAT ENCOURAGES DIVISION. IT IS A MATTER OF SEMANTICS,IF THE PRONOUN "WE" IS USED MORE OFTEN ,TOGETHER ALL DIFFICULTIES CAN BE SURMOUNTED.THAT IS WHAT "WE" SHOULD AIM FOR.
4. Stop racism against Jewish settlers
David ,   Shilo Israel   (06.24.09)
How can anyone considered as a leftist condone uprooting entire communities from their homes? If you say it's on the basis of being on someone else's land, that answer is clearly wrong if we really bother to trace back Jews living on their ancestral homeland. The answer is sheer racism, sadly fueled by many Jews themselves that have a false sense of identity. Has anyone really also stopped to explore whether Jews & Arabs can actually live in peaceful co-existence in the disputed 'territories'? The answer may surpise all but the fanatical amongst us that includes extreme right & left wing elements clearly wanting their pound of flesh. Accordingly, the whole concept of separating one people from their land in order to appease another set of people can only be based on racism. Let Bibi be given the chance to come up with alternative plans, but meanwhile put your money where your mouth is, if your a socialist leftist that's fine, but that doesn't mix with this tirade of racist remarks against peaceful settlers with young families living on their 'legitimate' land.

7. Time to start sticking our noses into other countries affair
With friends like ,   these......   (06.24.09)
8. "Waste of time" versus no friends in the world
USSISHKIN ,   TEL AVIV   (06.24.09)
Its from Ian Fleming: "Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence and the 3rd time its enemy action!" So for the Prime Minister who got his premiership dubiously and who loves the sound of his own rhetoric, what are you going to say? 1st it was the US, then it was Italy, now its France - all of them are saying freeze settlements. So will you continue to prevaricate now your friends are united in the saying the same thing? Will you send Yvet new king of the settlers to tell them that the settlements are not an obstacle? Will you issue yet another fatuous comment via 'a senior source' about how silly the settlement freeze demands are? How much more of a pariah are you ready to make us? Or is it going to be "you don't understand - WE are the victims. Remember the holocaust." And you know what - nobody but the paranoid fanatics buy this any more and no one is sympathetic to it or to you. You think you can survive this status quo? - good luck! But you take us all down with you.
9. corsican settlements should be destroyed
Trumpeldor ,   eurabyiah   (06.24.09)
Long LIVE FREE CORSICA Vive La Corse libre !
10. Sarkozy end your occupations
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (06.24.09)
France has a number of colonies around the world. Who the heck gave them the right to occupy foreign lands? At least we occupy our own lands. Where is France's legal claim to lands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans? The Arabs are the illegal squatters on our lands.
11. More French crap
Frank ,   Canada   (06.25.09)
Presenting the settlement freeze as a trust building action is a major lie and is a biased anti-Israeli assertion. Arabs are the cause of this war and of the lack of trust, they must act to prove that.
12. No. 8 Calm yourself down Ussishkin
Ram ,   London   (06.25.09)
Did it occur to you that yours might not be the majority opinion? There are those who believe appeasemeent will bear fruit and there are those who know they are dealing with an enemy whose agenda is the distruction of Israel. Would it not be nice if the Palestinians made one single gesture that indicated a sincere step in aiming for peace? Like maybe recognise Israel or forget about the return of Palestinian refugees? If not then can't you figure out what their ultimate aim is? You either want a jewish homeland or you just don't care!
13. 12.The Pals.'gestue' was a peace treaty already signed
lydia ,   Brisbane   (06.25.09)
with Israel. Guess who is in violation of said agreement and who for the past 60 years have been busy trying to circumvent the ruling, particular in regards to the illegal settlements? and who instead of negotiating has been trying to eliminate them with trial by missiles and targeted assassination .
14. sarkozy
alexi   (06.25.09)
Ahh France, no doubt it has beautiful women.You have to go back to Napolean to find a frenchman with guts however. Whether its WWll where the french caved in like marshmellows, and now Sarkozy, behaves like he is the personification of weakness, do anything to make a deal and please the arabs and the russians. Israel has its frenchman. He just left the PM's office. Gutless=its definition is a picture of ehud olmert.Get ready for this--He bragged --I offered 93.7% of west bank and got nothing in return but I think it was a good deal. On Assad of syria,Olmert said he trusts him and will give him the golan. Not to worry, olmert and his sons will flee the country rather than fight for Israel.In spite of Wingrad's ruling than olmert is not a military man and cannot follow its logic, olmert says the north has never been so quiet. And hezbollah having 40,000 missiles can be handled easily. Just offer them more concessions.Verter and marcus and beilin should be ashamed of themselves for supporting olmert. Shiff and margolis who knew olmert well said he was incompetent in anything to do with security. So sarkozy and olmert make a great pair. And before you condemn Lieberman, especially coming from the insecure mazuz who has very little courtroom experience and because of it has let olmert off so far, lieberman has guts. He will not be intimidated as olmert was by tractors in jerusalme or erdogan in ankara. Lieberman will not allow israel to be harmed. H e has already told the EU to drop dead and you saw him with clinton. He did not back up one inch. Israel-you want to survive, yoiu need strong men in government , not this pathetic bunch of olmert cowards and bagmen including beilin, ben-ami, peres, hirschson, messer, zaken, and turgeman and turbowitz. And mark regev should have resigned rather than represent olmert. s

(06.25.09)
nour, you first have to show both the civilized world and israel in particular that you are good little children, albeit, imbecils and with poor leaders, that yuou are willing to behave first and foremost. no more little rickets and martyrs first. then, maybe we can consider you able and willing to finally create your own state. behave first. talk later. remember, no matter usa or eu, israel HAS ALWAYS DONE IN THE FACE OF PRESSURE WHAT IS GOOD AND ONLY GOOD FOR ISRAEL'S SURVIVAL AND SECURITY FROM THE ANIMALS ACROSS THE BORDERS. by the way, should egypt open its borders at rafah to ease your "victimhood and pallywood"? why would any gazan wish to go to israel for medical care if they hate israelis so much? israel left. does it owe gazans any medical care at all? do jews go to ramallah for medical care? why don't gazans go to where their brothers are, who, oh, so love them so much, to get help medically? so, you love the jewish brains, don't you? and if you have yhour own state, are you still going to accuse israel of not letting you in for med care. you have always been a useless unproductive beggar society relying on un funds and pallywood to survive. game over. behave or you'll never get what you wish. in case you don't understand it, the civilized nations are sick and tired of your moaning and crying already. do something with your lives. prove you are capable of anything, anything at all. please! hameed aboughaze
17. Jews Must Have HUMAN RIGHTS!
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (06.25.09)
Judea and Samaria’s heroic Jews are standing up for the human rights of every Jew and every non-Muslim on earth. They are wonderful! US/EU vicious ideology that demands the ethnic cleansing of innocents for the crime of NOT BEING MUSLIM, must stop! Never was a Lie so shocking and unforgivable as the lie of peace promised to Israel via surrendering militarily strategic Jewish land to barbaric, implacable enemies. From cradle to grave, PA Muslims are indoctrinated to hate and murder Jews and make religion inspired WAR against hated non-Muslim infidels. A poll taken after eight teenage yeshiva students were murdered, found that “84 percent of Palestinians support the terror attack killing eight young students in a Jerusalem yeshiva on March 6, 2008” (Poll by Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, The New York Times, March 19, 2008). There are many no-go Muslim areas in Europe, UK, India and Israel where it is too dangerous for non-Muslims to enter. Why the terrible LIE and deception of Israel dwelling in peace and security with Muslim venomous Jew-haters bent on Jewish genocide.

jUST wondering if your and nour are the same person or do you just have the same neurosis.
20. French Hypocrite
David Rosenberg ,   New York, USA   (06.25.09)
Before Sarkozy "slams" Jewish settlement on ancient Jewish land that, under international law, is disputed, he ought to focus on current French occupation of Corsica. For centiries, the inhabitants of Corsica have been wanting independence from France. The inhabitants of that island are Italians and not French and therefore France has no ethnic or moral claim to that land. Once France stops occupying others, then Sarkozy will not look like the midget hypocrite that he is "slamming" Israeli settlements in Judea/Summaria.
21. Sarkozy is Wrong
Brod ,   USA   (06.25.09)
Israel has all the rights in the world to develop its liberated historic homeland of Judea and Samaria. Sarkozy and others have NO right telling Israel that it cannot develop its historic homeland. Israel can tell all these crusaders of Islamist-Jihadism to go to Hell. It is NONE of their business to intrude in Israel's internal affairs. Just because the Islamist-Jihadist world tells them that the land of Israel belongs to them, it does not mean that it is biblical truth. In fact, what they are doing is imbibing the cesspool of Islamist-Jihadist Taqiyyah and be zombied by their manipulations to crusade their Jihadism on Israel. Israel must be united, resolute and strong in countering these external intrusions that are detrimental to Israel's national security interests, survival and existence. It is their latent agenda of erasing Israel's historic connection to its GOD-given and GOD-restored Land of Israel. In effect, it is an attempt of depriving Israel of its historic homeland, that is, essentially effecting a Final Solution on the Jews! Behind all these external entities is Satan that continues to attack GOD's people since ancient time. The GOD of Israel is Israel's strength, shield, fortress, rock, deliverer, salvation, stronghold, helper, father, defender, Judge, trust, help, refuge, peace, dwelling place, and Mighty One. Be faithful to the GOD of Israel and He will ensure Israel prevailing over the Tsunami of dark forces that come its way. Millions of Judea-Christians around the world support and stand by with Israel. Israel's enemies are the dark forces of AntiSemitism-Papism and Jihadism led by Satan that will end up in the Lake of Fire in the End Time.
22. #8 - actually Israel has more than enough friends
John ,   Jerusalem   (06.25.09)
...but settlers don't. Israel is great. The settlements aren't part of Israel. Simple really. The violent, religously fundamental, socially reactionary groups on both sides are the obstacles to peace. Settlers are half of the equation. Hamas is the other half.
23. Demanding of Jews not to reside anywhere for being Jewish is
Amihai ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.25.09)
racism, pure and simple. Israel must not allow outsiders to dictate to demand of it to be racist against its own people, in this case anti-Jewish racist.
24. mmm can't stop natual setellments growth.
ghostq   (06.25.09)
like every other villages the children want to live next to their parants, so that is what happen many of the setellments were established in the early 70"s back when the muslems around Israel were called arab gangs. cause that what they r ganges.
25. The Mandate survived the demise of the League of Nations.
Dave Ronen ,   Haifa   (06.25.09)
Article 80 of the UN Charter implicitly recognizes the “Mandate for Palestine” of the League of Nations. This Mandate granted Jews the irrevocable right to settle anywhere in Palestine, the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, a right unaltered in international law and valid to this day. Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria (i.e. the West Bank), Gaza and the whole of Jerusalem are legal. The International Court of Justice reaffirmed the meaning and validity of Article 80 in three separate cases...July 11, 1950...June 21, 1971...[and] July 9, 2004... More at : http://xrl.us/bewv9i
