31. What should come first no flay zone over gaza and west bank
Abdalla   (04.22.11)
Or a Palestinian state
32. Europe considers recognition of Palestine
Les Freud ,   Toronto, Canada   (04.22.11)
Get used to it folks! Palestine will be recognized by most nations of the world. Not because it is the right thing to do but because, right now, there is nothing left to do. Over sixty years of wars, conflict, UN resolutions and accords nothing worked. The world sees the recognition of Palestine as a way of washing their hands of this mess. Here, you got your state, problem solved, we are no longer responsible for what happens in that region! The sad thing is; this want work either and Israel will still be held responsible.
33. paying the price......
tiki ,   belgium   (04.22.11)
This is the bill that Israel got presented for the EU 'invasion & killing of 'innocent civilians in Libya. Before the Muslims blow up in Europe and start their 'protests and burning cars & cities again because of 'so much violence, there must be a sweet candy to calm them down, being of course, the Palis and their state.
34. The Holocaust happened in Europe
Sue ,   Los Angeles   (04.22.11)
It has only been a few decades since 6 million Jews were murdered throughout Europe. Anti-Semitism never went away and now they are appeasing their growing Muslim populations by supporting a Palestinian state.
35. Appeasment gave you WW@
Shinderpal Jandu ,   Montreal Canada   (04.22.11)
Have the Europeans learned nothing from not one but two world wars Look where appeasement - and in this case lack of recognition of reality got you This will all in end in crying Europe stands for nothing and means nothing Look at the debt you have yourself in now What has Europe accomplished in the last 60 years - nothing and learned nothing at all
36. The EU is just making threats
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (04.22.11)
Look, as the Brits said and I quote: "Nothing is off the table with regard to recognition in September," They are just trying to force Israel into putting some deal on the table. Saying and doing are two different things. They just are using this as a pressuring technique. The recent remarks that the RoR issue is NOT negotiable, won't help the Arabs. Just as Hezbollah used the false issue of Sheeba farms to continue attacks on Israel. Even after the UN stated Israel had complied with all UN demands, and had fully withdrawn from Lebanon. So if the goal is peace, and giving the Arabs a new country is suppose to accomplish that, then it fails. So there is no need to follow through with the country, is there. Since it won't work to that end. That was it's sole purpose, and it fails. So why bother.
37. Ynet's TRUNCATES the settlement freeze STORY
CK Tan ,   Singapore, Singapore   (04.22.11)
Ynet takes the EASY path by saying the peace talks ended soon "after Israel refused to extend a moratorium on settlements." What Ynet DUTIFULLY omits to state CLEARLY is that during the 9-month freeze, the palis REFUSED to be engaged in peace talks with Israel UNTIL the freeze was nearly OVER. And the palis PROMPTLY made MORE demands.
38. # 3
Jules   (04.22.11)
Devorah, the presidential elections in France are coming; Sarkozy needs Arab votes.
39. Finnish people should not recognize PA state.
Jouko ,   Finland   (04.22.11)
PA state should not be placed within Israel - which country can accept to have another country in the middle of itself. Instead Israeli borders should be expanded from the Egyptian river (in the Negev) to the great river Eufrat (Eretz Israel).
40. Friends??
william ,   Canada   (04.22.11)
Sarkosy has his hand on the shoulder of Abbas whom is highly suspected of being the Money Man in the Munich Massacre.//
41. Israel has been jewish soil since Abraham and King David
GLENN ,   YUCAIPA,USA   (04.22.11)
SHALOM FOR THE RELIGIOUS JEHUDIN IN SAMERIA,JUDEA,AND JERUSALEM
42. Which is Next Country Targeted by US/EU for Muslim Conquest?
Linda Rivera ,   New York, USA   (04.22.11)
With very strong U.S. backing, French military and UN troops went to war against black Christian innocents in order to conquer the Ivory Coast for Islam. Another huge victory for global jihad. Frontpagemag.com Ouattara’s troops were using machetes. “They were slitting people’s throats, anyone — men, women, children... Ouattara’s men circle Simone Gbagbo. Inhofe said that the thugs had pulled out her hair by the roots and then went to the streets, displaying her hair to mobs of cheering Ouattara supporters. Again Inhofe repeated his warning to other Sub-Saharan African leaders, saying, “This could happen to you. This could happen to your wife.” http://frontpagemag.com/2011/04/15/a-cri-de-coeur-for-the-cote-d%E2%80%99ivoire/ UN Peacekeepers? Give them their proper name: UN Soldiers for Global Islam. Ruthless and cruel French military handed over Christian President Gbagbo, his wife and son to their enemies in order for this family to be horribly abused. What terrible things are Quattara and his followers perpetrating against them in private? The Koran commands to show no mercy to non-Muslims. The UN, French military and their U.S. backers are fully responsible. They are allowing it. There are pictures of terrified captured black Christians on the internet. They are deeply aware of Muslim barbarism. 1,000 Christians were hacked to death or burnt alive in recent days. There is no one to rescue them and Gbagbo's family. No one to help. A photo on the internet shows an Ivory Coast black Christian man and woman holding identical signs - a desperate plea to the world for help. This is how America and France are now seen by victims of Islam. UN-USA-FRANCE=ASSASSINS
43. #27 re basketcase
Richard   (04.22.11)
talk about economical basketcase- you meaning the US? just because you guys are in denial doesn't mean it is so: you cannot wish away several million Palestinians- are you willing to support them indefinitely, or starve them to death? why not put them on a concentration camp? Sooner or later there is going to be a home for them with or without Israel. I would not hold my breath for too long- the US citizens are going to be sick and tired of supporting ya...and as for G-d.... look at #41 Glenn....... religious fanatics.
44. PROUD TO BE FRENCH
Franck ,   France   (04.22.11)
