Alan Simanowitz ,   Elazar, Israel   (10.29.10)
Secret Negotiations? To lease land which is already ours? How can obama negotiate our homeland away? How can we let him? We can not allow this craziness to happen!!! It is time for a leader to stand up and say NO!!! This is our land forever and always!!! This land belongs to the Jewish People!!! Am Yisrael Chai!!!!

Salma ,   Palestine   (10.29.10)
13. More Obama deceptions
Frank ,   Canada   (10.29.10)
Leasing the land means it belongs to Arabs while it belongs to Israel.
14. :: You don’t lease a room out to...
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (10.29.10)
...squatters you are trying to remove from a house. Anyway Israel has proven that it is a bad neighbor and can’t be trusted therefore any talk of leasing land to Israel would more than likely be rejected by the PLO out of hand.
15. Salma, thats all it is, or ever will be.
(10.29.10)
16. lease land begs quuestion
moron ,   galut   (10.29.10)
who should lease from whom or who are the dhimmis here?
17. Lease
Ezra ,   Florida   (10.29.10)
Once again it goes to show you that what's called PALESTIANS are nothing but money hungry who really do not want a homeland, but want to be the LEASEE who collect the rent from the LANDLORD. What an upside down world. Really twisted.
18. Israel is already leasing this land
zionist forever   (10.29.10)
FROM GOD! The contract never said anything about sub letting it to arabs. Instead of talking about leasing the Jordan Valley and parts of east Jerusalem assuming that we create an arab entity at some point then rather than leasing the Jordan Vally trade it for parts of the Arab Triangle in Israel and kill 2 birds with 1 stone. As for Jerusalem no deals. It would be a criminal act to give up any part of Jerusalem. East, west, north and south Israel should keep in full. Once start talking leasing then we end up talking about leasing everything we hold onto. Its starting down a slippery slope and we will end up talking about leasing everything we want and just giving the arabs everything they want free of charge. Lets also not forget what we lease has to eventually be returned so we are not getting any good deals by paying to live on our own land.
19. HaShem hates dividing HIS land
Seppo ,   Finland   (10.29.10)
and everybody who does it will pay dearly.. America has tried to do it more than 10 years and is already in the state of bankruptcy. Even their fiscal and monetary policy is NOT run by government unlike in any other country but by independent creedy bankers who own Federal Reserve. Wait and see what's gonna happen there. I would not trust any promise from country in which net worth is trillions of dollars negative.
20. Why lease whats ours to start off with?
Wise Saba ,   Israel   (10.29.10)
The arabs have no claim to any part of Yerushaliem, the eternal undivided capital of Am Yisrael. Anyone in our government who thinks different is a traitor. Tell Husein Obummer to go to hell! Jerusalem is not for sale, at any price.
21. HAHAHAHAHAHA....This is a joke? Right?
Jay3 ,   Israel   (10.29.10)
22. Reverse The Terms
emanon ,   USA   (10.29.10)
Lease Gaza to the arabs. It is all Israel's land. Oh yeah, like any lease agreement, if the renting party does not care for the property, they can be evicted from the property and sued for the decline in property value.
23. No! Remember Hong Kong...
David H ,   Cape Town South Afr   (10.29.10)
And how the British had to return it all after the lease expired because it was such a succes that the "New Territories" were so integrated with the old that the entire area had to be returned. No! This will set a legal precedent that Israel and the Jewish people will never recover from and the Arabs/Muslims never had any claim tothe area ever.
24. More Lies Appeasement by Ehud Barak
Ralph Levy ,   USA   (10.29.10)
It is Jewish Land not PA land why should Israel lease and then give it up years later. Remember Panama Canal, Hong Kong, Newfoundland in WWII all were given back by US. NO to appeasement land lease this will cause a civil war. Secret negotiations silent freeze more lies. to the Israeli Jewish People. http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com
25. land lease
Bear ,   zefat, Israel   (10.29.10)
Why should we have to lease land that belongs to us?? Every time our "Illustrious leaders" open their mouths they're sinking us deeper and deeper into a pit! Who needs peace with people(?) who have nothing, give nothing and do less? Why are we running after them so much and kissing their behinds?
26. To Lease parts of Jerusalem is recognizing Israel .....
Ari ,   Romania-Israel   (10.29.10)
Israel has no Historical rights in Jerusalem. As far as I know this only an american proposal. I dont think a referendum will ever agree to this nonsense. I hope PM wont even consider this proposal. Can you imagine what will be in a 100 years from now for the Jewish People to loose it's more sacred place? We cannot compromise future generations in this madness. One think is painful sacryfices another thing is this. By the way what are the Palestinians offering for this lease? ??...Like allways they wont cede an inch on their pretensions.
27. Re #4
Andrew Brehm   (10.29.10)
You can pay that whenever you feel like it.
28. Re #2
Andrew Brehm   (10.29.10)
Not again, you mean. We already paid for the land with money, when the JNF bought it and again with blood, when the Arabs tries to steal it. We also lost all the land middle-eastern Jews owned in Arab countries. Enough is enough.
29. Ar first I thought, it is good idea. But then
leo ,   usa   (10.29.10)
commenters here sobered me up. Shouldn't it be the other way around? Shouldn't Arab begin paying lease for all occupied lands throughout Middle East and North Africa?
30. land lease
Leib ,   madison wisconsin us   (10.29.10)
A land lease would be a long term disaster; permanent borders are needed; does the US want Israel to experience the Hong Kong situation where Communist China now rules? Perhaps, but Israel should resist this "compromise". And where is a Palestinian concession? Haven't heard a single one
