1. The suspected source of the report...
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (08.13.10)
A LUNATIC ASYLUM...
2. I thought PROZAC was available in London !
Trumpeldor ,   eurabia   (08.13.10)
3. very dumb
Eddie ,   london UK   (08.13.10)
if it is true - then it is Oslo part 2 And that coming form Bibi , the big opponent of Oslo, would be the ultimate act of stupidity.
4. More spin from Ramallah Comedy Club
Nour ,   One-State الدولة   (08.13.10)
Anyone with a few active brain cells will realize this is a blantant lie and wishful thinking from the foreign diplomats in Ramallah. Benjamin Millikowky would never upset his settler constituency who oppose even a road linking Ramallah to the new planned city of Rawabi! This is more 'news' for consumption by idealists and other promoters of the 2-state fallacy.
5. NETANYAHU IS AN ADVOCATE OF ISRATINE !!!
Ehud ,   ISRATINE   (08.13.10)
6. Here we go again!
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (08.13.10)
Netanyahu is a fool if he believes that the Palestinians will accept anything less than 100% of the West Bank including East Jerusalem with direct and free access between The Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Permanent internationally recognized borders and an agreement to end the conflict. This conflict has been going on for years and everyone knows what must be done -- end the occupation remove the settlers and give the Palestinians back their land -- yet every idiot Israeli government only makes partial steps towards this two state solution. No wonder the Palestinians don’t want direct talks unless they know Israel is serious about ending the conflict.

8. I can do better than Netanyahu.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (08.13.10)
I offer the Palestinians 100% of Jordan + I'm willing to throw in London, Paris, Amsterdam, & Berlin. In any referendum, I bet you my idea gets more votes than this supposed offer from Netanyahu (in Israel, anyway). You may at first think my offer odd. But, the logic is there - everyone is so hot to give away what's not theirs, the West Bank, which is ours, so I feel completely justified in doing the same thing. Hell, I'll give them all of Europe ........ More seriously, if this is true & this is Netanyahu's plan, I'd suggest that we give the Palestinians Netanyahu & I'll throw in Ehud Barak & Shimon Peres, & Tzippi Livni. This is NOT why Netanyahu was elected.
9. Snif, Snif
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (08.13.10)
I detect the sour odor of bovine based fertilizer. Most likely emanating from freshly planted BS bubbeh mizes of the Ropers; seeking a favorable "baseline" of goodies from Israel, totally without responsibiliry or providing anything from the PS's side. Total BEE ESS, says, I.
10. Israel vs the Islamist-Jihadist Usurpers
Brod ,   USA   (08.13.10)
Israel should not be talking about evacuation. There is no peace talk and negotiation has not produced any result. Why volunteer on evacuation? If there should be evacuation, it should be the islamist-Jihadists. They should move to their own country-Jordan. Israel should counter punch those pressuring it to sefl-destruct. Judea and Samaria are Israel's liberated historic homeland. Why give away your GOD-GIVEN and GOD-RESTORED homeland to the wolves and tigers of the region? Forget about evacuation. Between the Islamist-Jihadist thug entity and the 'super power' of the Middle East, the latter sets the terms and the former accepts its demands and not the other way round.
11. THE ARABS ARE DELUSIONAL
stude ham   (08.13.10)
this report is fake and from a very unreliable source. in any case the PA kind of state is a dead issue.
12. Jordan IS Palestine, SAY IT LOUD, Say it PROUD!
Mecca's Sheriff ,   Amman Jordan gov.   (08.13.10)
13. Netanyahu ,Washingtons Puppet
Marcel ,   Florida   (08.13.10)
Israel just cannot say NO to the US led Final Solution Road Map. Netanyahu does nbot want to offend his god and he always pleases Washington at Israle's expense. There is no peace coming with this appeasement and retreat. Your weakness and faithless actions only invite more Ilsamic agression.
14. HAHAHAH
blash ,   Jerusalem   (08.13.10)
" it gives them an extensive part of the West Bank while evacuating a large number of settlements, without forcing them to sign an agreement ending the conflict or ceasing their demand to receive the rest of the West Bank and Jerusalem." I say again: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! What does Israel get out of this?! Does anyone seriously think that Hamas will dismantle because of this, that Iran won't consider launching nukes because of this, that there will be no more terrorism and no more missiles? Absolutely INSANE. Iran will stop at nothing until every last square inch of Israeli soil is under Muslim sovereignty. Anyone who thinks there will be peace, even under a plan that gave 100% of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, the parts of the Old City other than the Jewish Quarter, and set up highways and high speed rail between Gaza and the West Bank is utterly, utterly idiotic.
15. ...they will accept nothing short of the demise of Israel,
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (08.13.10)
just as they have not accepted anything since 1917! So many offers, so many opportunities for an accommodation of peaceful coexistence between Arab and Jew, between the Muslim-Arab world and the nation-state of the Jewish people, Israel have been presented to them. The response, often accompanied with deadly violence, has always, always been negative. The problem, some people abroad, e.g. Mr. B.H.Obama, are yet to view reality for what it is and not based on their wishful thinking!!
16. "brian cohen" : perhaps your real name is adam shapiro?
(08.13.10)
or ahmed jihadi? either way, DREAM ON!
17. For world sympathy
Josh ,   Montreal, Canada   (08.13.10)
Israel's biggest enemy right now is how it's perceived among the media in the world, such low approval ratings is the one thing that is tying it's from initiating its attack on Iran's nuclear reactors, when they implement this it will be regarded as the biggest step any Israeli government has previously made for peace, and that will give it the thumbs up for the attack, I can nearly guarantee you Obama's told Bibi you can't have an occupation and an attack on Iran, its either one or the other, and this is the best solution for both.
18. Any one who thinks this will
John ,   Accra,Ghana   (08.13.10)
bring peace is a total moron and scum.Israelis and palestinians started this fight long ago over 3,000 years.Samson and delilah are clear evidence of it.muslims can't even get along themselves they go about bombing each others mosque.This will not stop arab muslims from terrorizing Israel.
19. SOMEONE OFFER ISRAEL BRAZIL MOUNTAINS TO LIVE
ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU   (08.13.10)
5 MILLION SO CALLED ISRAELI WILL NEED WITHDRAWAL FROM THERE TO MOVE
20. Misericorde. !
silvio   (08.13.10)
And I was under the impression that Ynet will not allow garbage to be printed.
21.  not enough, Bibi !
Salma ,   Palestine   (08.13.10)
Don't tire yourself, you know exactly what is required for peace, so don't waste our time.
22. its heartworming seeing so many israelis for a muslim israel
(08.13.10)
23. Salma, What Really is Required...
Dallas ,   Canada   (08.13.10)
...is for the Pals to do the following: 1) form a cohesive credible government 2) to eliminate all genocidal references from their PA, Fatah and Hamas Charters. 3) to eliminate the culture of hatred against the Jewish State, beginning with babies' education right through to old age. 3) to sincerely prove to the world (over time) that they are ready to live idyllically and peacefully alongside their Jewish neighbor. Those would be the first absolute minimum prerequisites. To reinvent a culture from the ground up. Anything less is a game in which no one will win. Work toward that please.
24. #8 PERFECT SOLUTION
Dan ,   Titusville, FL   (08.13.10)
25. Oh calm down aready...
Baruch ,   Marin County, CA   (08.13.10)
My goodness, does anybody think in their right mind that this PR stunt was not intentional? Please, spare me... Bottom line: Now is the best time to make the Arabs an offer they can't refuse - because, well, history has proven that they will. But that ain't the point. Fact is, Obama will not be reelected unless hell freezes over, and thus the political winds seem to have shifted in Bibi's favor - at least for now. Of course, this isn't about Bibi either. It's about the Likud exercising its PR might at precisely the right time. Anyway, whoever said that politics was pretty? And anywho, Gaza is receiving too much attention in the media. Dividing the Pals by offering one group something while the others get nothing is, shall we say, good politics.
26. Appeasment policy should be over
Seppo ,   Finland   (08.13.10)
when starting negotiations and start talking about FACTS. Maybe Bibi has been talking too much with Barak who is the head of ministry of appeasement. Negoations should never be based on giving away something for free but rather to talk what can be obtained in return. Early this month Saudi visited Lebanon with Syria to create a new front against Israel. Obama forced Israel to talk with Abbas. Starting point should be what Abbas can do to make peace between Israel and Iran, Syria, Lebanon(controlled by Hizbullah), Hizbullah, Hamas, Turkey(joining soon). Abbas's term was over 1,5 years ago and the answer is that he can do nothing for peace. According to Pentagon map from 1967 about 80-90 % of WB should be under IDF control for secure borders(Bibi knows the map). Giving up land Iran even does not need nuclear bomb. From WB hills facing TA Kassam rocket could be sent by a schoolboy loaded with 20% uranium with any kind of explosive to spread radioactive radiation to TA. This would be the future now with "land for peace" policy. As soon as WB hills are free from IDF it will be crowded with war materials from other arab countries. This is not a prophesy but fare estimate of the future. Find out a first the partner to talk with. With any muslim arab you find peace is not possible, only temporary cease fire until arabs get TA and Haifa etc.
27. I hope for the PM that this is not true !
Jaacov Baumann   (08.13.10)
Why ? According to the scriptures the land of Israel ( Judea and Samaria is the heartland od Israel ) belongs to God - HE just lent it out to HIS people ! If anyone - ANYONE - wants to give away the land that belongs to God, he is in most serious troubles !
28. THE FRENCH ANTI-SEMITE
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (08.13.10)
Writer Moliere apparently said : "If the jews ever have their own country ,they will only end up selling it."
29. #21 BE HONEST YOU WANT TO DESTROY ISRAEL!
andy ,   orlando,u.s   (08.13.10)
Stop pretending. The real goal of you Arabs is to eliminate Israel and push the Jews into the sea. All this talk of a 2 state solution is pure b.s and a smoke-screen!
30. #25 I THINK YOU ARE CORRECT
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (08.13.10)
This is just a publicity stunt....hopefully.
