61. International law
JUDAH THE LION   (01.10.11)
What intewrnational law have to do with it? According to the Jewish,& Christians BIBLE and the Islam Koran,this land beloing to us BNEI ISRAIL (The children of Israel) and no one else.We will not give even one stone from our holyland whatever happens.Salma,you will never get a state of Palestine,and HOLY JERUSALEM WILL NEVER BE GIVEN TO ANY OTHER NATION EXCEPT THE REAL OWNNERS WHICH ARE ALYAHUD.
62. undermining the "trust".....
tiki ,   belgium   (01.10.11)
Ashton must be a "secret sketchwriter for LATMA-TV. Blowing up this hotel, "a Palestinian symbol undermines the TRUST between the parties and the PEACE effort"! You see, only a comic can think this one up. Condemning the 'taking down of this ex-nazi's house and replacing it with modern buildings in Jerusalem, which is 'not a settlement and 'not a part of colonial Europe, but the ONE & ONLY CAPITAL of the Independed Jewish state of Israel, starts to 'undermine the trust in the capability of the EU & friends to be 'Peace makers. Jokers would be a better name for these predictable clowns.
63. #57 Nour,I'd like to kiss your cheek ; )
Salma ,   Palestine   (01.10.11)
can't agree more to every word you have said. P.S : My mother's family house in "West Jerusalem".
64. One country, one citizen, one vote
Larissa   (01.10.11)
Handala, I hope war will not come, for the sake of both jews and arabs. It should be one state. How can you seperate a city like jerusalem? It has an incredibly mixed population of all sorts of people. Dont turn Yerashalayim into a new Yugoslavia! We HAVE two states already...there is Israel and Gaza. The only reason that Abu Mazzen and his nationalist ilk are looking to hack up jerasalem like so many chicken pieces is that he got his arse kicked out by his brothers in Gaza.
65. One State
Larissa ,   Jozi   (01.10.11)
Yes Nour, there should be one state - for All the peoples of Israel, not just for those of your "pure" brothers who fit the ethnic descriptions of your racist sentiments. What Zionists built is something that people like you could never achieve: a democratic, secular country that respects peoples rights.
66. #59 dear right-wing brain, Cynthia
Salma ,   Palestine   (01.10.11)
But the settlers in "Israel's" northern border, all of them fled in 2006 war to the safest places, it's human nature, that if we assumed that what you are saying is the truth !
67. To Clinton and Ashton
Spencer ,   Israel   (01.10.11)
Condemn as much as you like. Kepp kissing the backsides of the enemies of Israel. It doesn't phase us at all. The WHOLE of thr Land of Israel belongs to the Jewish People and the WHOLE of Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. We're not moving and never will.
68. TO ALL CRITICS OF ISRAEL
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (01.10.11)
I wish you the old yiddish expression : KISHEN TUCHUS...
69. #56 & #57 "Salma & Nour"
Erudite ,   Australia   (01.10.11)
I hate to throw a spanner into your delusional Fantasy but there is 100% irrefutable,indisputable,undeniable, overwhelming,unquestionable ,watertight,.{.comprendo ?} evidence that there is no connection between Canaanite's or interloping Southern Syrians. Jew were the only ones referred to as " Palestinans" You are both part of a choir that once hijacked planes and now hijacking Jewish Palestinian Identity. Provincia Syria-Palestina is the name given to the Land of Israel by Angry Roman conquerors in 135AD and from that time forward all those living there were known as Palestinians.. Who was living there ? Jews offcourse. In modern history "The Palestinian Brigade" entirely made up of Jewish volunteers with the British Army in WWII. The Arabs were fighting on Hitlers side. Palestinian Symphony orchestra {a Jewish Orchestra}The Palestinian Post {a Jewish Newspaper} Arabs refused to call themselves Palestinians. Professor Phiip Hitti Arab historian said "There is no such thing as Palestine in History absolutely not " to the UN Security Council on 31st of May 1956. Frankly your collective Mantra is getting boring and your false narrative is getting more laughable and without a doubt your ending will be like "Thelma &Loise"
70. Muayyaf #46: "stolen property"?
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (01.10.11)
You mean when Jews returned to this area in 1881 and bought up desolate swamp-ridden land and desert territory upon which nothing would grow and actually paid its Arab overlords far more than it was worth, you call the land "stolen"? And as Jewish immigration increased, bought more land, irrigated it, confronting disease and hostile Arab incursions along the way, the land was "stolen"? Or do you mean that when Israel declared itself a state in 1948, your Arab "brothers" declared war on Israel, thereby necessitating the exodus of their beloved Arab "brothers" residing in Palestine, that the blame should fall on Israel? Well, I guess the answer is "Yes" according to your perverted Arab thinking in which logic holds no value. We know the real reason: Arabs cannot stand any competing cultures to exist on the territory confiscated by their great warlord, Muhammed, unless those people agree to exist as "dhimmis". And after 1948, 750,000 Sephardic Jews were cast out of Muslim lands with no property nor time to organize. Most returned to the land of their forefathers -- Israel -- and within ten years were integrated unlike the kind "brotherly" Arabs who, to this day, refuse to integrate the Palestinian Arab refugee masses. And why is that? Because justice and mercy do not reign amongst you people. Your own Palestinian "brothers" are used for propaganda purposes and for the funding which the western world continues to contribute thereby prolonging your social welfare mentality. And what have you Arabs contributed to the modern world? Wholesale and worldwide terrorism and little to nothing in the way of cultural and scientific achievement. In just over sixty years we (Israel) have built a democratic nation replete with achievements that the Arab world looks on with envy. And your response: Tear it down! And now the democratic nations of western Europe has become aware of the deadliness of the Muslim incursions into its territories and are just beginning to fight back. Here's my proposal: Try building something, Muayyaf, as opposed to complaining and lying and deceiving. If you were to do that, you just might achieve some credibility.
71. The Land of Israel
Brod ,   USA   (01.10.11)
Only the world of the dark forces-AntiSemites and Islamist-Jihadists has a problem with the Land of Israel. The Book of Revelation reveals, however, that in the End Time GOD will put an end to the dark forces and the demonic powers that control them.
72. To: No. 63
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / israel   (01.10.11)
You told us that your mother came from Akko.
73. To: No. 43
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.10.11)
One state indeed. I have mine (it's called Israel). You have yours (it's called Jordan).
74. #16
David ,   America   (01.10.11)
BRAVO!! You are a nice fellow indeed! I wish I could tell her the same to her ugly face.
75. #3 dismay won't last
Advocate4Liberty ,   Chicago, USA   (01.10.11)
and neither will Israel. See the smoke coming from the volcano? Hear the rumbling? No problemo. Simply deny that it's happening, deny that it matters. Keep believing that Israel can continue in spite of what the rest of the world thinks. You don't care what we think? Good for you. We don't care what you think.
76. To #73, SarahB USA
Advocate4Liberty ,   Chicago, USA   (01.10.11)
Then why, oh why aren't you there instead of here? Don't let the door hit you in the a$$ on the way out!
77. To #68, Lawrence
Advocate4Liberty ,   Chicago, USA   (01.10.11)
Mark the spot, 'cause you're all "tuchus". ;-)
78. To: No. 76
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.10.11)
How do you know where I am, oh omniscient fool? That's right. You don't. So shut up.
79. To: No. 77
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.10.11)
Your post makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Perhaps if you could improve your English somewhat, you might come across as less functionally illiterate. And don't use Yiddish words that you clearly do not understand.
80. To: No. 75
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.10.11)
Why do you want to hitch your wagon to the ersatz "Palestinians?" Have you forgotten their wild celebrations in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001? The Jews of Israel queued for hours to give blood; the Arabs rejoiced, distributed sweets and kissed pictures of Osama bin Laden. Anti-Israel sentiment is nothing more than good old fashioned Jew hatred, with a nice centralized target. If you think that a bunch of anti-Semites scare us, you'd better rethink your position. We're not afraid of you. We've seen your kind come, and we've seen your kind go. When your antecedents were painting their faces blue and howling at the moon, mine were writing the Bible. Don't ever forget that.
81. #77 IGNORANT FOOL
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (01.10.11)
That's where you've got me licked....
82. #66 Poor example, Salma
Cynthia ,   USA   (01.10.11)
In 2006, the residents of northern Israel either remained in their homes, bomb shelters or temporarily left the area until it was safe to return. They did not run away to other countries and abandon Israel.
83. Israel should
(01.10.11)
tell the EU,to stop interfering in Israeli politics.Enough with the British pussycat
84. to Sara@#75
Jennie B. ,   US/Israel   (01.11.11)
Oh Sarah, Just stumbled over your post and am so glad I did ! No one can say it better ! Thank you for giving me and probably many others on this board the sense of pride for one of our own, who expresses facts just like it is - in the best, most creative and well versed way. I love your spirit. Keep up the good "virtual fight" and inspire Us... It is also counted and is important...
85. #70..Agree, and Arabs owe Jews reparations
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (02.01.11)
As stated, after 1948, 750,000 Sephardic Jews were cast out of Muslim lands with no property and no compensation. Aid money from U.N. EU, and U.S that goes to the PA should go instead to the Jews from arab lands as compensation.
