Some Jew   (08.20.09)

They should oppose settlements all-together if they ever believe what happened to them is unjust.
4. Show me my kidney first !
Gene ,   Raleigh, USA   (08.20.09)
5. My wife is seriously pissed.
James Hovland ,   USA   (08.20.09)
She happens to be a real native American Indian. She wants to know if it would it be OK if she dressed up as a Jew to protest the settlements? Put it into perspective. The Jews are doing the same thing to the Palestinians as America did to the Indians. The difference is, she has more rights than I do, because I'm not an Indian, and she is. Get some facts. Such as, Casinos are illegal in California, yet Indian Casinos are all over. Why? Because it's their land! And we know it.
6. idiots
Steve ,   US   (08.20.09)
The "White' man stole your lands, raped and Euthanize your women, Castrated you men, and displaced you THE NATIVES, that's what Israel did to the Palestinians, i salute the real Natives, the real Indians not Zionists supporting the very thing that happened to them settlements are colonies, illegal and violate the international law

Yehudi ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.20.09)
Israel should simply tell America and the rest of the world the following: - All of the Land of Israel belongs to the Jews. - It has belonged to the Jews for thousands of years. - The Bible is the deeds proving Jewish ownership of the Land. - Israel will not give away even one grain of sand. - Israel will not allow any foreign state to exist on its Land. - Jerusalem always was and always will be our capital. No part of our Holy city will be handed over to foreigners. - Israel will build settlements anywhere it wants to in the Land of Israel. - The Jewish People's Sovereignty over the Land of Israel in eternal and non-negotiable.

colin   (08.20.09)
The truth about the occupation forces in America comes out. Start by creating two states.ONE AMERICAN FORIEGNERS AND ONE INDIAN. The occupation of Indian lands must be discussed at the United Nations security council.The american settle must dismantle Manhatten and return to the 1492 borders.
13. Only Manhattan?
Meir ,   Arad   (08.20.09)

ghostq   (08.20.09)
who came and conquer Israel from the east. Arabs cames from Arabia the famous saudi peninsula. not even a race un like jews who have old history in Israel.
17. to #11 according to the archiology
ghostq   (08.20.09)
fasanating subject wasn't belong to arabs there is high evidences they conquerd it from pagans.
18. Support and Protest
Alexandre Chinovich   (08.20.09)
In 1948, the American government did not support the creation of Israel. In 2009, the American government does not protest the liquidation of Israel.
19. they aren't natives and they aren't americans
(08.20.09)
but their message is true; stop settlements!
20. Actually the Dutch took the Indians land first.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (08.20.09)
New York was named New Amsterdam first. The English traded, "Suriname," in South America...for New Amsterdam. The English traded a country for the newly named city of New York. The Dutch received Suriname in return. The Dutch and the English were just as involved with this fiasco committed against the American Indians. Don't leave out the Spanish as well as the French. The continent of Europe and the United States have a lot of the same blood on their hands. They committed the same crimes as they blame the Jews for. The only difference is.......the Jews had their land stolen by the muslims... that complain so vehemently, when the Jews get the land back hundreds of years later.
21. #3 by "Native Palestinian" you mean "Jew", eh?
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.20.09)
... because there are NO "native" non-Jew "palestinians" here. If you allude to the non-Jews living here, they either invaded, or were brought or came with the invading armies who raped the Jewish Lands. So basically, there are still Roman, Greek, Persian and Arab descendents living in Israel, but they are DEFINITELY NOT "NATIVE"! Nice, but still, pathetic try to justify the Muslim occupation and rape of the Land of Israel.
22. opposite is true
yossi ,   ashkelon   (08.20.09)
We jews are like the native american and the palestinian who invade our country are like the american who kill all the indian. The only difference is that, we the jew were able to come back on our nation and create a strong country which is far stronger than the invader palestinian !
23. what a foolish comparison
SETTHERECORDSTRAIGHT   (08.20.09)
by comparing the plight of america's native people with the so-called 'palestinian' plight, it is just giving credence to the arabs' claim to our land. in case one, america, the land's original inhabitants were the native americans; in case two, Israel, the land's original inhabitants were NOT the so-called 'palestinians'. The Jewish people were there prior to the arabs. as much as the arabs want the world to believe that they are descendants of the canaanites or the philistines, they are ....... NOT. So these protestors outside the u.s. embassy wearing feathers and dressing up as native americans are doing more harm than good to israel's p.r. campaign and definitely to the Jewish cause in general.
24. THANK YOU #16
(08.20.09)
25. To the Doc, Haifa
RW ,   Israel   (08.20.09)
If you've read recent DNA studies, you will see that many of the so-called "Palestinians" in Israel are descendants of Jews who never left the Land. Maybe we should try to get them to return to their Jewish roots, then there will be no problems.
26. to #25 true, they should return to jewish roots.
ghostq   (08.20.09)
27. Calm down. The US is well aware of it's treatment of native
Erastus CoupeDeVille ,   Ong's Hat, NJ USA   (08.20.09)
americans. It is only trying to make sure that Israelis don't treat the Palestinians in the same way. History does teach a lesson.
28. Israel's Behaviour
(08.20.09)
Israel behaves like a naughty, spoilt child, so it should obey it's American parents, the UN, Peace Now, and the rest of the world, and STOP ALL construction work now! Otherwise, you know what happens to naughty little jewish rogue states.......
29. Which ever way u look at it
Stan ,   Johannesburg RSA   (08.20.09)
Which ever way u look at it: a. The Jews are the indiginous peoples of the land. b. The Jews are the current holders of the land. Anyone living in the region should respect the laws of the land (Israeli) and strive towards being model citezens (as the Jews have done during their time in exile).
30. Shareholders
Happy ,   Turkey   (08.20.09)
US is the largest shareholder of the 'Land of Israel' with its investsment of zillions of dolars in cash and weapons. As such, it should do whatever it wants.
