What is the biggest danger to Israel: Iranian nukes or a "peace deal" with the P.A.? It is the "peace deal". Israel has the ability to stop Iran from making and'or using nukes, or at worst, to win a war with Iran. However, a "peace deal" with the P.A. would doom Israel within a decade. Israel's waist would be trimmed to a suicidal 8 miles (15 minute tank ride) and rendered defenseless. Rockets would constantly bombard all Israeli cities and towns. Hostile Arabs would inundate our sole tiny Homeland. Israel must categorically reject a "peace deal" with the P.A. and the monstrous Two State Final Solution. Instead we must advance our legal proof that Judea and Samaria are ours.

that you serve as a foreign ministry director only for one year.....

Having read that, and taking into account that soon after the completion of the author's services at the FM the 2nd intifada broke out, I can only conclude that the full, unconditional annexation of Judea and Samaria is nothing short of an urgent necessity.

Israel did not do enough to publicize the opinions of many prominent legal experts from Eugene Rostow to Lauterpacht that support Israel's official position which Liel not only failed to support but actively undermines. Still the dire prediction of UN troops forbidding Jews from praying at the Western wall, living in Hebron or taking the Jerusalem highway past Latrun will never come to pass.

How about Israel respecting international law and withdrawing to the 1967 borders? How about ending the siege of the Gaza Strip? How about Israel enshrining equal rights for all Israelis in the form of a constitution? The 'biased' and 'hostile' world would not know what to do.

... and Jews. We don't need any phony "help" from any .... phonies. "Ties" with the U.N.? With the EU? With the United States? Oh, as if I care. Am Israel Chai. The world challenges us very much at their peril. Enough has been far too much.

Liel has sounded this alarm many times in the past and all his deadlines have passed and nothing bad happened to Israel. Others did it too in order to bully Israel into accepting a suicidal deal. Do not listen to this fickle minded leftist, they have only the goal of establishing a 23rd Arab state and couldn't care less about Israel's security.

This guy is such a leftist, everything he says should be ignored, just like Yossi Beilin.

his wife is President of New Israel Fund!

Ministry for 30 years. Liberman is trying his best to clean these Augean Stables, to refocus FM personal from "palestinian" problem, to the real issues.

Why do people keep asking these same tired questions whose answers can be found on dozens of talkback threads, blogs etc. for anyone who is really interested. Obviously people like Leon are not interested in the answers.

"as we all know, there has been no improvement in Israel’s global status in the past 20 years." Quite so: the political motion preceding Oslo and the aftermath have been quite harmful. So, this bought-and-paid-for (by the EU) joker wants more of it!

#11 answered you well, but one thing puzzles me that you could help with. You write "respect international law". What is the meaning of "international law"? This past month, Obama, Cameron and their henchmen violated International Law and a UN security counsel resolution by making an unprovoked military attack on a sovereign country that is a member of the UN, trying to depose or assassinate a leader of that country and arming rebels all in order to steal that country's mineral wealth. Please explain.

Peace with whom and when. There is not going to be any peace with the arabs today or in the future. Israel cannot even get the arabs to sit down and discuss a settlement. Israel should focus on security and building a Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria. In addition the national religious the backbone of the state should be encouraged to be fruitful and multiply.

Many people will slam him and talk about how the gentiles are racist and what not. People cannot ignore that there are 200 million Arabs and 1 billion Muslims and the Arab-Israeli conflict negatively affects America, American Jews, American Arabs, Europeans etc.... It is also a mess.

This article is irresponsible self- serving and wrongheaded. Liel knows that the Palestinians see no need to have an agreement with Israel since they are getting much of they want without it. Why then does he make this kind of nonsensical meaningless harangue?

it depends on your apetite it is too or it is ill

We are also part of global society. You are delusional. Your comments are getting more and more hysterical every day. Control yourself for pete's sake.
