32. Yankee go home and shut up !
Jaacov Baumann   (10.16.10)
The arrogance and the hypocrisy of the USA is just beyond all bearing ! They have stolen the continent from the Indians - destroyed the Indian race, and here they come and wanna tell every body else in the world what to do ! Yankee go home and shut up - the world is sick and tired of you !
33. Resumption of Jerusalem
Randy ,   Canby, OR   (10.16.10)
I am so diisapointed about the resumption of construction. I am dissapointed it didnt start sooner and not near as many homes being built by the Israelis as there should be.
34. #16 Legally San Remo is the Only Precedent
Dallas ,   Canada   (10.16.10)
1) This agreement was ratified by the West and the Arabs and to this day has not been superceded. We need to go by the legal precedent in this world or there would be chaos. 2) Ottomans lost WW1 and that is the result. 3) The Nazi collaborator al-Husseini fanned the flames and later again sided with the losing horse. He aided and abetted the Nazis in the Holocaust and Israel's birth was hastened by this genocide. 4) If you wish to see any positive change, perhaps you may want to help the Palestinian Authority and Hamas come together and seriously work toward nation-building, of course that would mean a complete overhaul of the 'resistance' culture, a very tall order which will take generations. ... just stating a few facts and suggesting a long-term solution. Of course, the only solution that comes from the Palestinians to date is elimination of Israel. Something gotta change.

37. To #30 : Give Peace A Chance
Izzy ,   USA   (10.16.10)
I like your optimism.. You said the Jewish People will have to live with Arab Neighbors side by side. The first step in peace, i think is a minimum in this case, is the Palistinians must except Israel as a Jewish State. With out that, it shows they do not accept a Jewish State of Israel. In this case Israel is beeing thrown conditions inorder to make peace. Every condition the Palistinians make are sided to thier benfit. Which is fine, they are trying to get the maximum like we all do in business. Because Paletinians are negotiating from a point, that if Israel does not agree, Israel go's to business as usual. Where as the Palistinians peoplw will loose the most. Do you think the Palestinians should do the minimum and recognize the Jewish State of Israel?. What are your thoughts? Izzy USA
38. Surprise, Surprise
Mark of Lewiston ,   Lewiston USA   (10.16.10)
With the November elections, it is likely that the US budget will no longer include any aid for anybody with the possible exception of the military credit for Israel. Aid cuts will likely include Jordan and Egypt and the PA. Jordan and Egypt can probably make up their budget shortfalls internally. The PA will have to rely on Israel or some other source, not the US. Of course, Israel could just annex the West Bank and take over everything, schools, religion - no limits. With no money the PA will just have to disappear. Then Israel just has to decide what to do about all those Arabs.
39. disappointing!! Oh America, that's too much!!!
Salma ,   Palestine   (10.16.10)
40. The anti-Jewish racism coming out of the Obama administratio
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (10.16.10)
Northern Jerusalem, DC, southern Jerusalem, DC, eastern Jerusalem, DC, and western Jerusalem, DC (Jerusalem, David's City) are an integral part of the same city as has been determined by Israel's Supreme Court. For anyone - including Mr. Barack (derived from the Arabic Barakah) Hussein Obama, and Ms. Hillary Clinton - demanding that Israel acts contrary to Israel's Supreme Court decisions is an arrogant act to say the least if not an out right form of racism towards one of the finest such court on earth, yet treating its decisions the way some do because it is the court of the nation-state of a singled out people, of the Jewish people, Israel. Such a demand is akin to outsiders demanding of the United States Government to act against US Supreme Court decisions, be those matters related to Northwest Washington, DC, Northeast Washington, DC, Southwest Washington, DC or Southeast Washington, DC. What would be the reaction of Americans - and rightly so - to outsiders coming in and demanding that they don't act based on rulings reached by the US Supreme Court...??!!
41. # 40 Belfour was "outsiders" also, take a hike
Amir   (10.16.10)
42. As extortionists pressure would be victims.
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.17.10)
Whenever pressure is exerted on Israel, two things are obvious. Firstly, the thing they are pressuring Israel to do is bad for Israel. If it was good for Israel, Israel would do it happily of her own free will. The second obvious thing is that those exerting the pressure know it is bad for Israel. That is why they exert pressure. They pressure Israel as extortionists pressure would be victims to give them money. Israel must firmly reject all attempts to influence her decisions by pressure. We must make our rejections of these evil tactics crystal clear.
43. Jordan Claims Israel is provoking..but what was done during.
Ari ,   Romania-Israel   (10.25.10)
What did Jordans do during 19 years if not provoke. They try to erase 19 Years of Jordanian Rule. Jerusalem was anexed, and the UN, the Vatican and the rest of countries accepted the facto the situation. Now in Jewish Hand s every body protests All Jewish trace in Jerusalem tried to be erased. Jewish Places Destroyed and The city declared "Juden Rein" . Israel has converted Jerusalem in a Beautiful City, restored Jewish Places, and has given Free access to all Religions. Who was the real provocateur? Jordan of course. And this King has the Chutzpah to Call Israel a provocateur after what his country provoked?
