Abbas should stop playing god on Israel. He has been telling Israel what to do. What does he think he is? He is nothing but an Islamist-Jihadist terrorist clone of Arafat. He wants to steal Israel's liberated historic homeland of Judea and Samaria in broad daylight by way of Taqiyya (deception) and manipulation of external entities who are awash in the cesspool of AntiSemitism to do his dirty work. Israel should say NO to these dark forces.

I would like to see "some crazy bonehead nations trying to remove them (settlements) by force. Never in your life.

"Back off" No way.

With a name like Ezra, you should be for Israel, not against. Shame on you.

This new high and mighty attitude Abbas is showing these days is largely a result of Obamas early attitudes to him. When he was telling Abbas you want it you got it Israel is an enemy to both our people. Now Abbas isn't interested in talking he is starting to attach strict demands to everything he does because Obama has accepted he can do things that way. If this was Bush all he would have had to say was sit down and talk now unconditionally and Abbas would be talking no strings. Somebody should also remind this idiot that whole point of talks is about creating a state for his people. There is nothing in talks for Israel but Abbas acts like if anybody whats the honour of talking to him about the idea of creating another arab entitiy then they will do as he says.

If the philistines are so brilliant you want to explain to me why Israel handed over Gaza free of charge, and you destroyed an oportunity to show the world how brilliant you could be? international charities spent millions buying greenhouses from the jews for the philistines. In their brilliant wisdom they decided to trash the greenhouses & instead use Gaza as a stage for terror attacks. If your so brilliant why don't you already have a country of your own? 1917 - Balfour Decleration didn't even call for a jewish state, just a jewish homeland. The reality would have been a tiny jewish population in a huge arab majority state 1947 you refused a 2 state plan where you would have got 49% of mandate Palestine. Today the pre 1967 border is just the remaining 22% of pre 1948 Palestine not the 49% once offered. In 2000 the brilliant philistines refused Baraks offer at Camp David. NO DOUBT YOU GUYS REALLY ARE BRILLIANT.

to stop occupation. shame on anybody that uses G-ds word to justify their greed and their violence

Arb occupation of Middle East, North Africa and South Asia must end and their violence and support of terrorism has to stop. Arbs should go back to Arbia, their homeland The lands they evacuate need to be given back to the original peoples they displaced, Berbers, Chaldeans, Assyriacs, Syriacs, Arameans, Kurds, Copts, Blacks, Sharawis, Druzees, Maronites, Jews, Greeks, Romans, Carthaginians, Tuares, Nubians, Maronites this is not what you mean but it gives you some food for thought

As I understand it, it required Israel end all settlement activity quite some time ago. Can someone explain about the Road Map document that President Bush came up with?

.... is not a Palestinian, nor is his name Rashid. He is extraordinarily funny. He was away for a while and now he is back, wit and all. I, for one, am glad to see him back. Believe me.
