61. Smoking cowardice
Egon B.E. Friberger ,   Brussels, Belgium   (12.07.10)
Several countries, including traditional opponents, stood by Israel’s side to fight a disaster all of a sudden burning through her Carmel garden of our affection. Some countries, obviously aware of their shameful aberration, tried to sneak away behind that sudden smoke screen - by their anti-Jewish buddies heralded as divine punishment, of course, they can now that. Some newspapers, like HaAretz, even try to sneak away behind it to eliminate a standard-bearer of Judaism. Their frustration about the vigour of honest countries having mastered the blaze so successfully must be pretty burning.
62. a Palestine defined by 1967 borders???
Dana Rothschild ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (12.07.10)
I can't remember a palestinian state in 1967.... also not in 1966 and 1968.... I can't remember such a state...
63. #45 Palestine is free already.Question is - when will YOU be
(12.07.10)
Ready to meet your 72 virgins?
64. #50 Dream on RJBH! Hashish makes for some interesting...
(12.07.10)
halucinacions!
65. #51 To "Palestinian" - as eloquent and irrelevant as ever.
(12.07.10)
Maybe that's why we cannot have peace with you? Your arrogance, hatred and racism clouds your mind.
66. #59. Palestine exists: its name is ISRAEL!
(12.07.10)
67. Oh - thank you Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay for your...
(12.07.10)
...sincerity. At least now we know openly that racism was not eradicated in your pityful countries. I hope you enjoy the company of illiterates like Venezuela and Iran!
68. #33 Arrogance and halucinations don't make a state!
(12.07.10)
It is this kind of pityful dreams of genocide and murder that is preventing you to build a state, For as long as you dream of destroying Israel, your future is doomed. As history proves, you have not moved past terror and corruption while Israel flourishes and advances. We outlived empires, invaders, two holocausts, tyrants, terror and genocidal wars. Don't you thin we'll survive a gang of arrogant, murderous and racist illiterates living in a desert hellhole? RJBH - get a life! Sorry, I forgot - you prefer death!
69. #47 Abbas History your forte?
Len ,   Australia   (12.07.10)
CRAP! stop your Abbas story telling and learn REAL HISTORY. Canaanites are not Arabs. Arabs never came to these lands until 700-800 AD. Israelites have inhabited Israel for over 3000 years. With Joshua, Caleb, Samson and others who defeated the Canaanites, Amalekites, Philistines, etc. Abraham, Moses, Jacob and the partriachs walked these lands eons before there was even a whiff of Islam in the air. Palestine was a made up Roman name and Palestinians never had a country with borders because there was no such thing as Palestinians. Now go to a real school and get some real education.
70. soon the world

71. Sarah B: another correction (48)
(12.07.10)
"""It is not up to countries to declare statehood unilaterally """"" isn't that what Israel did in 1948 ??? think before you open that sewer...
72. Need to send Danny Ayalon on a hasbara
Avi ,   TA   (12.07.10)
mission equipped with a low bench to teach them a lesson. Perhaps Sarah B should accompany him just to make sure.

76. #39.Visit "pal land", You, & your attitude will be shocked
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (12.07.10)

77. Golani #10
Shlomo Kamera   (12.07.10)
Israel imposes civil law for jews, and a harsher miliatary law for non-jews in the WB-that's apartheid. Israel severely restricts the movement of non-jews throught Israel the WB and Gaza-that's apartheid. Israel evicts non-jews from their homes, and replaces them with jewish famillies, illegally-that's aparthied. Want more examples oh uneducated one??
78. #17 Steve
Shlomo Kamera   (12.07.10)
Sounds like a good idea Steve!
79. Birdi # 29 reply to Sarah B
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (12.07.10)
We have lost BBSNews, almost lost Batty Groves, alas we have gained Ray !! Oh dear !! Hi Birdi, I like to think of him as "Bray" because he sounds like a donkey.
80. Heir to JORDAN KINGDOM is "Palestinian". Next king of Jordan
Jae ,   Lynn US   (12.07.10)
will be "Palestinian". Jordan is 78% of the Palestine Mandate, and its population is 80% "Palestinians" Jordan is Palestine.
81. Jordans population is 80% Palestinian. Its leader is import
Jae ,   Lynn US   (12.07.10)
import from mecca by britain. Let the "palestinians" have Jordan again as "Palestine" "Palestine" was both sides of the river, they get the east, Jews get the west. and then they go back to being arabs as they were before 1967...along with 22 arab states.
82. Criticism for supporting SC resolution
Mamud ,   South Lebanon   (12.07.10)
Justice American style, same like taboo American style.
83. Whats the use of doing this...
(12.07.10)
They say it will help reignite peace talks. Will it ? or will it start another intifada
84. Palestinian recognition?
Gary Glaser ,   Hutchinson, MN, USA   (12.07.10)
I see by reading some of these e-mails that the Moslems are back doing what they do best: rewriting history. Mohammed never set foot in Jerusalem, and Jerusalem isn't even mentioned in the Koran. So don't try to tell me there was such a thing as a Palestinian people. In fact, the name Palestine actually refers to the Philistines, and the so-called Palestinians are not Philistines. As far as these South American countries go, I'd say cut off diplomatic relations with them.
85. Virtual statehood without state institutions
Eitan ,   Chicago   (12.07.10)
It seems only yesterday that Abbas was threatening to dissolve the PA, thereby ending the PLO terrorist militia's unsuccessful foray into governance. Having built scarcely any state-level institutions since 1994, the PA must have been frustrated with how hard it had become to maintain their ruse. But you know what? With $7.4 billion in aid pledged to the PA over the past 3 years, Israel may as well give them a taste of real independence, and demand taxes receivable from custom duties, disconnect the electrical grid and sewers in Area A towns, and fire every PA citizen from his or her job in the rest of Israel. Let Jenin choke on her own sewage, if the PA clowns think that independence will bring anything other than more emigration and unemployment. The West Bank was stolen from Israel by Jordan, and it's not anyone's to give.
86. #60: Area B & C should be formally incorporated
Eitan ,   Chicago   (12.07.10)
Given the forced conversion of Samaritans in Shechem, the ban and then crushing taxation imposed on Jews in Jerusalem, the ethnic cleansing of Hebron and Gush Etzion - all of these experiences should tell Israel's leadership that no Arab militia can be left in spitting distance of Mount Gerizim, Rachel's Tomb, Machpelah, or the Temple Mount. The Byzantines, Arabs, Crusaders, and the rest couldn't keep Jews from residing in their homeland, no matter how hard the existence was. A piece of paper from ethnically cleansing colonies in South America will not change that.
87. WHAT ABOUT THE "GOOD SAMARITANS"
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (12.07.10)
If anybody besides the Israeli people should get that land it should be the "good Samaritans". And certainly not a anti-democratic, anti freedom for all, racist, extremist, hate group that blows up their own children just for political gain and a few hundred bucks. A course on PRIORITIES should be taught to ALL politician around the world.
88. To #3 Nour - If you ever do get your own state...
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (12.07.10)
...you can bet there won't be one bit of freedom happening there, especially not on the Gaza side.
89. #3 Nour - Just keep in mind
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL/USA   (12.07.10)
that tomorrows news papers, after a day, are used to wrap smelly fish "Free Democratic", which Arab nation do you intend to model it on ? Equal rights for women, while they get stoned to death for adultery, the man can go free to seek another companion Just think, you too will have your very own lovely Burka
90. To: No. 56
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.07.10)
Sorry, I do not take "orders" from the guy who manages swamping the toilets.
