31. whats infrastructure will be ready by August?
zionist forever   (01.22.11)
Israel provides the electricity Israel provides the running water Israel provides them with fuel Israel provides them with thousands of jobs. If they want to travel abroad they need to go via Egypt & Jordan. There is nothing left of Gaza airport. Not to mention of course if they want to travel between the two halves of their state they must cross through Israel & unless they get a negotiated solution Israel will not give them a direct transport link. Their currency is the shekel, will they be using something else by August? I hope they will because it cost taxpayers money to print the extra notes for use by palestinians. In Gaza the closest thing to infrastructure they have are shopping malls, water parks and weapons smuggling tunnels. In Judea & Samaria the only major construction project going on is the construction of a new town designed exclusively for the middle class palestinians. Has Fatah & Hamas agreed to reunite before August because you can't have a state where half is run by one group the other half by another group. Is Abbas planning to hold presidential elections before August? He was supposed to have held them 2 years ago when his term ran out. As things stand the infrastucture of state they will have by August will be made of lego.
32. Another lost leader how many more.....
Robert Morley ,   farmington,usa   (01.22.11)
Boy they will put anyone into office this day and age , I bunch of apples but all rotten , Another leader going down the wrong road , go back to france and be still you will look smarter. even if your not.
33. Attack on French PM orchastrated by Hamas
Mike ,   Oxford UK   (01.22.11)
An attack on a high profile person in Hamas can only happen with the implicit permission of the Hamas terrorist govornment. The same group that will become the rullers of the west bank should a palestinian state be created there. yet she still supports them. Crazy french lady
34. 16 - that wars, terror, hatred and racism only backfired.
split ,   US   (01.22.11)
Damn right - Talking about hate and racism , would you please translate this page to us (if you know Hebrew of course) after all it will be much more credible being done by Semite than by Anti-one ;) ,... http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-4011912,00.html
35. 25 - since full US support may not last forever ,...
split ,   US   (01.22.11)
They have been getting away with this crap for so long in US they can't think straight anymore ,...
36. diviser pour mieux reigner...
bruno ,   Portugal   (01.22.11)
La ministre des affaires étrangères de la République Islamique de France vient de visiter ses homologues du Hamastan à Gaza... Hey guys, listen to me, these french are masters in dividing in order to reign. That is what they are doing in Ivory Coast (West Africa) at this moment. They divided the country in two and are exporting their expertise to the UN. Voilà the reason of her voyage in the land of Israel.
37. Divide the Land-invites G-ds Hand against those that divide
Joel ,   Selah   (01.22.11)

39. The EU think another islamic state will solve
Harry Wright ,   UK   (01.22.11)
the world's problems. That is why Madame Michelle is in a hurry to create this one and that is why Europe has resigned itself to an inevitable future of islamic rule and sharia.
40. #8 next time don't by flowers for her
observer   (01.22.11)
stones are good gift, those already worked.
41. wikileaks gaza
Frankie Littlehammer ,   New Herstal, TX, USA   (01.22.11)
enchanté, madame. thank you so much for the champagne and cognac. this ham is excellent. would you like a beachfront villa in caesarea? we'll get you some christian servants. and an apartment next to the church of the sepulchre? also an apartment in bethlehem? only caesarea? you don't care for jesus? no problem. it's all just a fairy tale to keep the simple minds of our subjects occupied.
42. to zionist forever - with lego and without Jerusalem !
Daniela   (01.22.11)
43. #17 illegal Arab Settlers?
Leon ,   Ottawa, Canada   (01.22.11)
Where did your grand parents or great grand parents come from? I'll bet you it wasn't from where you are living right now. Can you trace your lineage in the Holy Land? These 'illegal' Arab 'settlers probably can.
44. Listen to Europeans?
BH ,   Iowa   (01.22.11)
They are in full surrender. They are surrendering their soverignty to the Islamists in their own countries and will fall before decade's end. Perhaps Israel would be better off to take Europe's advise.... then do the opposite!
45. FM Alliot-Marie
RedBull ,   USA   (01.22.11)
Israel is not yours to surrender.
46. Wrong, Bloodyscot, ZERO Arab refugees are going to Israel...
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego, USA   (01.22.11)
Israel already settled 800,000 Jewish refugees expelled from Arab countries, they have no obligation to settle the Arab refugee issue also, they should be settled in the PA state or where they are, period. The "refugee problem" needing to be settled includes Jewish refugees, equally. The PLO's idiotic "Right-of-Return" makes no sense in the context of a PA state - or what the hell do they need one for ? And Arab refugees from the 1948 war aren't going to get a dime of compensation unless the Jewish refugees are also compensated.
47. to Split from US No. 30
observer   (01.22.11)
I know the answer , it is because YOU DO NOT Belong to this region . you maybe belong to the place where you are now
48. Ain't happenin'!
Heather Czerniak ,   Mississauga, Canada   (01.22.11)
There will be no Palestinian state and there will be no halt to settlement construction. Israel is G-d's to do as He sees fit. Gentiles have no say in such matters.
49. French Jews, vote for Marine Le Pen, supporter of Israel
Roger ,   St Tropez   (01.22.11)
What is inescapable is that the current thrust of French politics is towards the right. President Nicolas Sarkozy, who last year instigated a national identity debate aimed at making people feel proud about their Gallic culture, is as aware as anyone that the 15% of voters who support the FN will prove crucial at the 2012 presidential elections.
50. 47 - because YOU DO NOT Belong to this region ,...
split ,   US   (01.22.11)
Are you blind? What about those fair skinned, blue eyed freckled redhead autochthones, don't they look like ligit Hebrew Semites ??? ,...
51. To the French nation
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (01.22.11)
We are no longer in the ghettos. We are no longer stateless - no longer homeless. We have retaken our ancient ancestral homeland. We won't give away an inch. We won't tolerate your intervention and insults. You are in no position to give us "orders". We are an independent and sovereign state. You bullied Jews for centuries and conquered North Africa, Syria, Lebanon for a long time - I think much of the world is dead tired of French arrogance and French imperialism. Giving us orders and telling us what to do and not to do and informing us of what you recognize and do not recognize is arrogant, rude and in fact futile. It also shows how perverted your Jew hatred really is. You support the very crowd that attacked you but you verbally attack Israel that has done you nothing. Is the French FM suffering from the Stockholm syndrome? And I as a Jew do not recognize France or your "capital" of Parisistan. Dismantle the French state and let Gascogny, Normandie, Corsica and Bretagne have their independence and dismantle the French occupation forces in Paris. Have a nice day and lehitraot.
52. There is already an Arab state in the
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (01.22.11)
heart of France...getting ready for statehood Madame...THAT`S your business, back off from Israel...WHAT are you doing here at all ?????
53. Foreign leaders-Idiots
Brod ,   USA   (01.23.11)
Israel should not allow foreign leaders to step foot in Israel only to lecture Israel and meddle in Israel's internal affairs. They are part of the anti-Israel dark forces that have been manipulated by the Islamist-Jihadist Fanatics/Crusaders/Usurpers.
54. #35; split, Wrong as always
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (01.23.11)
Israel has U.S. popular support since the beginning, with minor fluctuations. As we see HERE: http://www.gallup.com/poll/126155/support-israel-near-record-high.aspx Support for Israel was at 63% in 2010 one of the highest levels. You see here in the USA people understand evil when they see it. The Arab support is a paltry 20%. You always have the haters or those who have their hidden agenda.
55. Palestinian State
Mark ,   USA   (01.23.11)
The seeds of a Palestinian state were started 20 years ago with Oslo. While a negotiated settlement has always been the preferred choice, neither side is willing or able to compromise enough to make that a reality. While a majority of countries worldwide are tired of this conflict, and think that unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state will magically end this conflict, they are sadly mistaken. A Jewish state will never be truly accepted in the region. Israel will have to remain strong to survive. But I do not see many alternatives left to Israel. The best recourse left is to welcome the establishment of a Palestinian state by decreeing that while all peace loving people may stay where they live, with national benefits from where they live, the citizenship of those not willing to pledge allegiance to Israel as a Jewish nation state shall have their citizenship transferred to the new Palestinian state. While this will not be acceptable to the Palestinians, this is what needs to be done, absent a negotiated agreement.
56. #50 split ass
jb ,   canada   (01.23.11)
I guess you think all arabs are dark skinned too? what an idiot
57. #1 Shizo - Your girl ?
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.23.11)
Then do something to help her out, besides talking Number one on your list of priorities is to leave what you doing and get your sorry ass over here, instead of just talking about it You've already proven that you're all talk and no substance
58. #35 Schizo - wrong as usual
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.23.11)
Just because you say it, only proves that you're wrong as per usual The fact is that according Gallup Polling, Israel has the support of the vast majority of American's, to the tune of 63%
59. nothing to offer. give back allsac loraine
