91. To: Ralph at No. 60
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.07.10)
Ditto! Don't worry. It will happen, sooner than most people seem to think.
92. To: No. 51
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.07.10)
Check the threads, oh ignorant one. I had PLENTY to say. Israel has no problem with the 1967 borders. As they existed on June 11, 1967, of course. Those are the 1967 borders -- whether you like it or not. Deal with it. Shouldn't go to war unless you are REALLY, TRULY certain you can win. And you never have. Cut your losses and run; it will only get worse for you. Count on it.
93. To: No. 53
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.07.10)
What's a "news regulary?" Here in Israel, we believe in a free press. Nothing regula[to]ry about it. Get with the program!

Malone ,   Hfx   (12.07.10)
It looks like you're fighting the battle basically aloneagainst the haters and the uninformed lefties who seem to want to see their name in print. Keep up the good work. I support Israel...and you.
95. two steps forward three steps back
Alexander ,   NJ USA/Israel   (12.07.10)
People are ignoring the real cause of the conflict, Arab rejection to accept Jewish right to self determination. Forcing a state in Israel's boarders will not make a secure and lasting peace. These nations, will they also be so eager to send troops to protect Israel as they are to recognize Palestinian state? If not then they have no business recognizing anything other than their own ignorance.
96. Mosel tov to the Palestinians!
Edithann ,   USA   (12.07.10)
It was so good reading the news today..and to note, no one was interested in Israels fire...Looks like they're on their own... TATA

pini   (12.07.10)

98. Happy birthday Palestine
jon Ber ,   north Carolina USA   (12.07.10)
Congratulations Palestine. Happy birthday. As a citizen of Earth I am thrilled to join Brazil and Argentina goodwill gesture in recognizing the newest state. I dare wish it will prove a pragmatic initiative, bypassing a hopelessly fragmented societies on both sides of the West Bank Wall. I wrote this song in English, Arabic and Hebrew. The music is available on my website. Its dedicated to millions of peace activist who will never give up seeking justice. WALLA Once destiny told me: Don't look back when you walk. Sunset dawn, comes goes. Wal' 'la. (really) Yaldi, Waladi (my child) Wal' 'la. Hebrew: Fallen soldiers playing flutes. Orphans refugee camps. Sing a song longing for peace. Day has come. Arabic: Forgive me child, sir, landlord, leader. My heart wishes peace but my head is crazed. Thousand nights and a night. Peace day has come. Really my child really, positive, yes. Music and lyrics by Jon Ber, a former IDF officer singer-songwriter living in the USA. Jonber.com
99. everyone is forgetting the 1 million Jewish refugees kicked
rachel ,   usa   (12.07.10)
out of Arab countries
100. #47 did you forget the indigenous Jews?
rachel ,   usa   (12.07.10)
101. #50 people like you don't understand NICE
rachel ,   usa   (12.07.10)
102. #54 he did not learn from his father being tortured by nazis
rachel ,   usa   (12.07.10)
103. #56 how do you get paid to post your garbage?
rachel ,   usa   (12.07.10)
104. #15 the question was "which CIVILIZED countries"?
(12.07.10)
Russia and Chine - two of the most notorious human rights violators do not count in my book, but hey - if you like them more than your murdered Muslim brothers in the Uyghur and Chechnya, be my guest. I certainly don't mind! Enjoy the night with your two new friends.
105. #59 DON'T FORGET YOUR LITTLE CHE GUEVARRA BERET
rachel ,   usa   (12.07.10)
ITS A MUST FOR EVERY WANT A BE REVOLUTIONARY .
106. AntiSemite Countries
Brod ,   USA   (12.07.10)
These Third World countries are contaminated with AntiSemitism. Their dominant religion-Papism invented AntiSemitism that led to the Inquisitions and the Holocaust. Israel can tell them to go to Hell.
107. 3rd world speaks up...with no intelligence
Whack World ,   US-Israel   (12.07.10)
Brazil, one could easily see making a stupid statement, claim or assertion. A nation that is host to the most disgusting cultural characteristics in the world (at some levels, far worse than somolia...considering its sick, psychotic porn industry, murderous drivers, crazy beliefs, crime, murder and drugs)...so WHO will listen to this giant, backward nation? It is the standard for decadence and stupidity. Its only known as a dump to 'party' in, not for its enlightened or intelligent political decisions. Who cares what any nation in the anti-semitic, Nazi-hosting South America thinks, states or believes? ITs not like ANYONE takes them serious on ANY level...except perhaps...in football. Let them declare what they want: it only affirms what the US already knows: it is a backward, dangerous and foolish place. Probably why we Americans have next to nothing to do with them. Basically...we IGNORE the South Americans. Yeah...that is their plight: to be ignored for their craziness.
108. good news for
Ali ,   Scotland   (12.07.10)
109. Free and democratic palestine?
Y ,   N   (12.07.10)
hahahahahahahahahahah. No way. palestine will become a dictatorship or islamist!!!!!!!!
110. Fakestinian; You are Arab from Arabia!
Palestiniansareamyth ,   USA   (12.07.10)
There has never been a "Palestinian" country, people, language or culture. It's all a myth. Who cares what these crappy Latin American countires say? They might as well have recognized the tooth fairy. She's more "real' than "Palestine."
111. which boundaries?
vitenberg ,   France   (12.07.10)
112. jordan is palestine
real vision ,   usa   (12.07.10)
March 31, 1977, the Dutch newspaper Trouw published an interview with Palestine Liberation Organization executive committee member Zahir Muhsein. Here's what he said: The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism. For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.
113. #47 - Really?
nr ,   los angeles, usa   (12.07.10)
The fact is, the Pals closest genetic link are the Jews - which posits the theory that they are in fact jews forced to convert to Islam. So they aren't the true owners ot the land. Caananites - come on. We don't have any DNA on them at all - nor the hittites, or the philistines. You people are seriously desperate.
114. Racist Jews here FUMING MAD
Katherine ,   Canada   (12.07.10)
This is hilarious seeing so many racists here foaming at the mouth over this. Lest they forget Israel came into existence in 1948 when it was created by the UN against the wishes of the Arab inhabitants of the lands. Now they are so angry that the World is taking steps to recognize a Palestinian State the same exact way.
115. I recognize my right to win the lottery.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (12.07.10)
116. "Free"palestine ????
Trumpeldor ,   eurabia   (12.07.10)
What is the concept of freedom within arabs? In which arab country is freedom applied ? 67 cease fire lines are NOT borders
117. Israel- the high tech ostrich
Avi ,   NYC, USA   (12.07.10)
Let the right wingers, the diaspora Jews, and the Christian Zionists fume as they wiSH. LONG LIVE PALESTINE! TIME TO SEND THE ISRAELI LEADERSHIP TO THE ICC.
118. To: Malone at No. 94
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.07.10)
Thank you very much for your kind words.
119. Genetics
Yossef   (12.07.10)
We Sephardi Jews from North Africa share the same genetic pool than Iraki Jews, Yemenite Jews, and to a less extend some Palestinian (70% vs 50%). Inherited from the genetic of ancient Israeli. "Study: North African, Iraqi Jewry nearly genetic twins." Jerusalem Post (November 19, 2001). Excerpts: "Sephardic North African Jews are genetic twins of their Iraq brethren, says a study by researchers [Nebel, Faerman, et al.] at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.... Although the genetic affinity of Jews to the ancient, Middle Eastern non-Arab populations is greater than to Arabs (as shown in the present study), a substantial portion of Y chromosomes of Jews (70%) and Palestinian Muslim Arabs (50%) belong to the same chromosome pool. An additional 30% of the Muslim Arab chromosomes belong to a very closely related lineage... [because] part - or perhaps the majority - of Muslim Arabs in the Land of Israel descended from local inhabitants, mainly Christians and Jews, who had converted after the Islamic conquest of the 7th century A.D."

120. #118 Awww, found solace?
Nour ,   Palestine   (12.07.10)
Wait til the EU recognizes Palestine. Where will you hide? You will need tons of prozac! Oh, and good morning to you.
