61. @#7, Nour: And you had 20 years, how many refugees have you
Bat Zion ,   Central Israel   (01.18.11)
rehabilitated? Your only achievement in hat time is another Intifada. Instead of reforming the refugees, you perpetuate their situation and use them as a political device. Do you really expect the everyone else to do everything for you? Don't hold your breath. If you are not going to do it for yourselves, nobody is going to give you a ready-made country, handed on a Silver Platter?
62. Salma and terrorism #39
Kate ,   London, UK   (01.18.11)
As if to prove my point about "Palestine" and terrorism, Salma pops up and makes an open threat against IDF soldiers. Do they serve pizza in Israeli prisons?
63. "Bloodyscot" - #52
Kate ,   London, uK   (01.18.11)
Every five minutes or so, you pop up at Ynet and Haaretz to denounce Israel. Do you not see the irony of your position? Do you not realise that you live on stolen land, that you and most of your fellow citizens have less right to Texas than I do to the British Crown Jewels? Oh, and your claim about Roman Catholics - it is utter nonsense with absolutely no basis in reality. For the most part, the Catholics of the US., unlike their counterparts in Europe and Latin American, are neither anti-Semitic nor anti-Zionist.
64. # JUDAH 53..WAIT A MOMENT
chris ,   wales   (01.18.11)
You have forgotten what your own Prophet wrote..Zech 12,Zech 14,Ezekiel 38@39,Joel 3:2 Joel 2 and many more Prophecies stating that The World will go to war over Jerusalem etc..Read the Prophets//You will indeed be invaded by the World's Powers,but it will not be the end of Israel! 2000 Years ago many Jews then refused to read what the Prophecies had spoken about the Messiah..Yeshua Fulfilled 350 Prophecies which Most Jews have not even bothered to study..Time for Israel to come back to their Messiah,,It will happen as Zechariah 12:10014 states it will.. who is this Figure mentioned in your own Hebrew Prophectic scriptures,ZECH12...ON THAT DAY,HIS FEET WILL STAND UPON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES..This is the Messiah!!!! Read ACTS 1:1-12 speak of the return of YESHUA To this Place where he left the earth..Jews need to start ..thinking independenty.many of your Rabbis are blind and have long ago Rejected the Prophecies found in the OLd and New Testament..they will have to in the end recognize the True Messiah of Israel or they will embrace the Antichrist who is said to come before Jesus Returns..many Jews will think He is Messiah..Look at where the Messiah was to be born,It already fulfilled! Messiah was to come twice..First as a Humble servant,(it all over the Old Testament!!!)secondly as the Conquering King! I Don't ask you to be Christian,But to find the clear references of YESHUA In the Old Testament.Jews don't have to call themselves Christians if they believe in Yeshua but Messianics! as a Christian,I can see clearly that Israel is going to be abandoned by all the Nations,Only then will Jews cry out to Yeshua when some Miracle will occur when the Nations attack you! at least consider what I'm saying.. as a Christian,I believe i Israel's Future,i support it..it Biblical! Shalom!

68. The star and the crescent -- La belle et la bete
josef   (01.18.11)
23 years ago, 2 distinct entities; the world foremost outlaws, the communists, and the master criminal arafat with his gang of cut-throats, the plo. They did agree to recognise each other, as they where at the time, the perfect match made in " red hell" and co-signed in allah's "private hell". Can someone please explain to me what has changed today, except that the palis got a $ 10 million sucker, among the others.
69. Sara B is very busy today respinding
Raed ,   PALESTINE   (01.18.11)
I haven't seen so many Palestinians on this board to date. I hope to see more! Sarah B has more than 15 responses. i think it's becoming her day job. Free Palestine, Palestine for ever!! Бесплатные Палестины
70. Correction to 64 ZECH 14
chris ,   wales   (01.18.11)
I meant to quote Zech 14 where His feet will stand.. and Zech 12:10-14 where messiah is mentioned..all the above is end time prophecies! It says the Jews will look upon the one who was Pierced...who was pierced that the Jews woud one day look to?and zechariah 14 goes into detail,HIS FEET WILL STAND AGAIN ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES..Anyone who can read hebrew or english or any language will realise that Zech 14 speak of a Coming King who's feet will split the Mount of Olives..

72. #64 HAD TO CLARIFY!
chris ,   wales   (01.18.11)
Just so there is no Confusion here. Acts 1:6 Confirms a Future Restoration of Israel.# Verse 11-10 Shows us Yeshua's Ascension and Promise of His Return,verse 12 tells where he Left and verse 11 taht He will Return to the same place. ALL THIS CONFIRMS ZECHARIAH 12 6 So when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" 7He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. 8But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." 9And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. 10And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, 11and said,"Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven,will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven." Matthias Chosen to Replace Judas 12Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away

75. Give Russian language official status in Israel!
Gabriel ,   Budapest, Hungary   (01.18.11)
Do you really think Medvedev and the Russians do like the Palestinians? Does Moscow really care of their human rights, freedom, etc? Medvedev's words belong to the games of diplomacy. What he and Moscow needs is the huge Arab market for Russian military and civil industry. Russia knows quite well that Islamic terrorism is the common enemy of both Russia and Israel. Moscow is aware of the fact that Russian language and culture is highly represented in Israel: 20% of the Israeli population speak or understand well the Russian language. When I go to visit Israel, I can use my Russian knowledge - despite of not being Russian - very often whenever I have difficulties with my Hebrew. The former USSR was the first state to recognize Israel's independence and the Russians started to support the Arabs only after the US became the main player and supporter of Israel in the 60-ies, 70-ies. Israel should care intensively of Russia and show Moscow that for Israel both the US and Russia are equally important allies. Each super power has economic interests worldwide. No wonder that Medvedev tries to verbally please the Arab world in the West Bank without going too far. In order to win more Russian support for Israel (Jerusalem question etc) and make Moscow understand that loosing some Arab money is less important than the alliance with Israel against international terrorism, Israel should emphasize more visibly on Russian partnership and make gestures: integrating Russian olim equally into Israeli society, granting Russian language the same status as the Arabic language has, and invest more money in Russia (and vice versa), are the most urgent steps to follow. Lieberman should use the Russian language when speaking with his Russian counterpart trying to win them by emphasizing on the importance of Russian cultural presence in Israel.

Oh, get a grip. Following the end of the First World War, tens of millions of people found themselves living in different countries and being forcibly repatriated. Same thing after the end of the Second World War. Italy lost Istria to Yugoslavia, and three million Italians were repatriated! What do you suppose happened to the ethnic Germans when Germany lost 25% of her pre-war territory? You got it! Repatriated. Population transfers are hardly a new invention. In Jordan's Citizenship Law of 1954, Jordanian citizenship was granted to all Arabs living on the West Bank AND THEIR PROGENY, irrevocably. Israel will annex Judea and Samaria, and it will not absorb 2.5 million individuals bent on the destruction of the State of Israel. They get to go home to Jordan. But don't worry -- unlike the nearly one million Jews who were forcibly expelled from their homes in Arab and Moslem countries following Israel's victory in the War of Independence, and the nearly 150,000 additional Jews who were forcibly expelled from their homes in Arab and Moslem countries following Israel's glorious victory in the Six-Day War, Arabs in the West Bank will be justly compensated for property which they cannot take with them. They will NEVER be Israeli; they have proven it time and again for seven decades. They can build whatever state they like in the country of their citizenship -- Jordan. The thirty-odd ersatz "Palestinian" organizations each of which purport to be the sole true representatives of the "Palestinian" people have one thing in common: all of their charters call for the destruction of the State of Israel and the extermination and/or expulsion of the Jewish people. That doesn't trouble you, yet you seem to have a great deal of difficulty accepting the absolute right of Israel to repatriate foreign citizens once Judea and Samaria are annexed. I call that being just a tadbit hypocritical.

Breathe Sara, Breathe! It's ok! Only South America and Russia have joined the rest in recognizing Palestine. There's still time. The good news is Micronesia is still on your side!
80. Russia recognition of Paestinian state
Jouko ,   Finland   (01.18.11)
Medvedev has not read his Bible - You israelis don't worry - Your GOD will in any case carry out HIS promises; there will be no Palestinian state in West bank or Jerusalem. Besides it was the Russians who caused the six day war. Israel - don't worry about Russia too much! Remember David and Goliat - Russia is no match for GOD.

Jeff, Ex-Marine ,   San Diego, US   (01.18.11)
Hi Robert, I recommend an even better read. "I Shall Not Hate" is by a Gaza doctor who lost three daughters - courtesy of an Israeli tank shell. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/aug/15/palestinian-doctor-izzeldin-abuelaish-gaza-war Peace *is* possible my friend. The problem is you and many other illegal setters are so convinced of your own magnificence that you'll do anything, *anything*, not to give back what's rightfully theirs. Bringing to an end one of the most brutal occupations in modern history is the key. I do apologise if you're grappling with what seems so obvious to many.

Guess again. My husband and I worked very, very hard. I am proud to be a contributing taxpaying citizen in both the United States and Israel. Sorry to disappoint you. Maybe some day if you apply yourself with great diligence and put in seventy-hour work weeks, they'll move you up from mucking out toilets or whatever it is trolls like you do to earn your daily bread.

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.18.11)
What's even funnier -- GASP! -- is that not one single Arab or Moslem state has expressed recognition. Actually, re-expressed. The self-declaration of ersatz "Palestinian" statehood died stillborn in 1988. And the Arab and Moslem world has been remarkably silent this time around. Why do you suppose that is?
89. To: No. 85
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.18.11)
It doesn't piss me off, to use your rather inelegant language. It does amuse me, however. Russia has little or no international validity -- it is, in some ways, very much a third world country. Moreover, they have their hands full being completely unable to control rebellion in Chechnya. They can declare recognition of any entity they would like, it doesn't change facts on the ground. And as long as Russia continues to be unable to feed itself, they are too dependent on American exports of food to risk offending the United States Congress, who can yank Russia's most-favored-nation trading status in a heartbeat. Must I remind you that is a reprise of something the ersatz "Palestinians" tried in 1988? Never got off the ground then; won't get off the ground now. Whom do you see invading Israel on behalf of a terrorist rabble, knowing the consequences that Israel can -- and would -- bring to bear? Hint: not Russia; that's for sure. Do you remember how a bunch of Afghani warlords made the Soviet Union turn tail and run? Israel isn't Afghanistan. We can do it better and faster.
90. Billions of people worldwide recognize Oz.
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.18.11)
Officially Russia recognized "Palestine" back in 1988. That says it all as far as international recognition of "Palestine" is concerned. It's fictitious. How many billions recognize Facebook? How many billions recognize Oz? Certainly everyone in the Western World. That doesn't make them states. Judea and Samaria are part of Israel. That is reality. "Palestine" is as fictional as Oz, or Atlantis or Neverland.
