1. blair asks the question
ronnie   (02.20.10)
Cab we provide israel with security and arabs with their 22 nd state? The answer is no, so blair-go home and take care of cheri.
2. Rabin's peace included the following: 1) Jerusalem will
Eitan ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (02.20.10)
remain united under Israel's sovereignty and will also incorporate Givat Zeev, Maaleh Adumim and Gush Etzion. 2) The Jordan Valley, in its widest definition, will remain part of Israel. 3) A "Palestinian state" will not be like a regular state. (Rabin's speech at the Knesset in Oct. 1995). United Nations Security Council Resolution 242 does not even mention the setting up of an additional state in the region. Indeed, it does not mention concepts such as "Palestine", "Palestinian people" or "Palestinian state". And neither the Soviet Union nor the Arab states at the time asked to include such concepts in 242 for a simple reason: They didn't exist. For political expediency the concepts began to surface between the very end of 1960s and the end of the 1980s. But if we are to reach an accommodation of peaceful coexistence between Arab and Jew, between Israel and its Arab neighbors 242 should be applied as is: Most of the West Bank to Jordan and the whole of Gaza to Egypt. Jordan and Egypt, together with Syria, after all, were the cause of the Six-Day War and they should shoulder the resolution of that war's consequences. If they then wish to grant independence or autonomy to people within their own states, it would be up to them.

4. TALKS
COLIN   (02.20.10)
No talks will begin while this anti Israeli fool thinks that the pioneers are causing the delay, BYE BYE BLAIR NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR YOUR BULLSHIT
5. Tony Blair's agenda has always been
Sagi   (02.20.10)
Tony Blair and nothing else.
6. UK public calls him Phoney Tonie-Hell take Israel for a ride
Alan ,   SA   (02.20.10)
7. looking for a job
tiki ,   belgium   (02.20.10)
After being thrown out of a job in Britain, the man wants to keep busy, so why not continue with the 'dead and buried ME peace proces, (always makes good headlines). NOTHING will come out of it, but it keeps him 'in the news, which is good PR, which will bring him some more invitations for 'lectures, where he can earn some more millions. He will not change anything except HIS bank account.
8. eitan cabel
motti   (02.20.10)
Who would vote for cabel, tamir, pines paz, olmert, peretz? in their right mind, who would vote for these kumbaya lets love the palestinains? Cabel rails at barak, who is an egoist but doing maybe a good job in defense and nothing else where he is horrible. Guess what-we don't wwant tamir with her nakba, paz pines with his pacifism, peretz who is a total dumbell with blocked binoculars, olmert with his dirty dollars and war cowardice. The hell with all of them. Its not right or left. Its what works. Lets go by a neutral party. One million israelis in the south prefer bibi and lieberman to this collection of pacifists. Most israelis are good people, they get ahead and do well given the handicap of constant tensions. Olmert is the one exception. if the arabs decide to avenge dubai and want to take an israel-then by all means take olmert and do what you want him. Throw in zaken and risbi and you can have all of them. You would be doing israel a favour. Ask the 200 dead israelis what they think of olmert.
9. start with stopping the BBC bias
rachel ,   usa   (02.20.10)
all they do is incite the world against Israel with their lies
10. Blair the war criminal talking peace - talk about irony!
Lee ,   Maanchester UK   (02.20.10)
this man should be behind bars - not only for Iraq and Afghanistan but for the theft of the British elderly tax payers who are have to seel their homes to be 'taken care of' .... this 'man' has no morals he only became a Catholic seeking his own forgiveness ffs! Wherever Blair is the MONEY is.
11. In Blairs 10 years as PM-UK Jew+Isrl hatred reached heights
Alan ,   SA   (02.20.10)
You can see just from the first few posts of this article what Brits think of him-ie. not much . First thing he did when he retired was buy a big house in Connaught Square... This is a hundred metres from Edgeware Road, the HQ of London Muslims.His wife said it was near the train station to Heath Row! LOL Israel has given back plenty of land-it gave back South Lebanon . It gave Gaza... Still no peace .... They dont want peace ,they think circumstances are almost right for them to take the lot by other ways -and Phony Tonie and Barak Obama will orchestrate that. All these little deals are to improve their strategic position. Why dont we give them the Control Tower at Ben Gurion airport as a confidence builder instead of the land at the end of the runway?.
12. They all keep saying we hope peace talksresume ina few weeks
JJ ,   SA/TX   (02.20.10)
And they never do. and they have been and keep on saying we hope that in the next few weeks that talks resume or i think that talks will resume in the next few weeks and this has been going on for months. Im waiting for a leader to say that talks will resume in the next few months or that talks have indeed resumed.
13. tony wants to do good?
meyer ,   israel   (02.21.10)
mosquito nets to the natives from tony's Faith Foundation? umm i wonder what he has in mind for Rael-Pal [that's the new states name] has the lad gone daffed?
14. Dear Blair,stop being delusional
Keren ,   IL-BR   (02.21.10)
Only solution: Arabs in Arabia;Catholics ,Christians and other colours of the same,in Europe;Jews in our ancestral biblical tiny Israel. Isn't that very simple? Why do you strain so much you brain?Simplify things,and ask those bullies who disagree ,just to shut up. Use the money you have been wasting , more wisely,as transfering likes near to likes. So simple.Lets transform arms into plows.Everybody will be happy.
15. The Arab/Palestinian dream of an independent Palestinian ...
Ron B. ,   Lod   (02.21.10)
The Arab/Palestinian dream of an independent Palestinian state with no Israel. Time has come for a substantive shift in thinking to end the Arab/Palestinian dream of an independent Palestinian state with no Israel, as being part of a solution to the Israel-Palestinian/Arab conflict. Surely by now it should be evident to all that the Palestinians ability to bring an independent and self sufficient and self sustaining state into existence is utterly hopeless and there is no reasonable prospect that time will change that fact.

16. 14 Who is delusional? Get a mirror
lydia ,   Brisbane   (02.22.10)
As a result of the sympathy generated by a well orchestrated bunch of Hitler jews the UN oversaw the birth of the independent jewish state. Nothing outside Israel's sovereign borders belong to Israel. Without further negotiations with the Palestinians, Israel is left holding the declarations of it's 'jewish state'.
17. #16 the hateful nut is back ...where were you in Gaza?
rachel ,   usa   (02.22.10)
18. 17 Heed the MESSAGE not the Messenger
lydia ,   Brisbane   (02.23.10)
Israel is like the over indulged adolescent, too immature to differentiate between the one committing the offense and the one pointing out the offence Go pout and stomp your feet then put your pacifier back where it belongs in your gob.
