61. Address this article to the UN
Samuel ,   Yavne, Israel   (05.17.11)
The UN -Shame on you.This only proves that the UN should be disolved for always condeming Israel-cause:majority Arab & Muslim Nations.
62. my comments
Yaniv   (05.19.11)
I, Yaniv, truly apologize for all the st*pid and lying comments I did. I believe that comment 27 is the one the sums the situation the best. We jews are always victimising about everything. I hope that will change. We are never happy enough. We should thank our lobbies and the US government, because without that, we aren't worth more than others. In fact, I am offended by other israelis that REALLY believe that Palestine should not exist and is a PROMISED LAND for jews. OMG... Let's stop this attitude. There are facts in history, but we can't repair EVERY single thing that has been done. Jews are not superior to others and therefore should stop always playing god and victims. Let's show some humility and stop the arrogance and redoing almost the same thing some mean nazi people did to others.
63. India, Kashmir and Israel
MK ,   Kashmir, India   (05.19.11)
@ Kumar, What load of rubbish .. Kashmir problem's roots are in Indo-Pak partition and has nothing to do with religion. Kashmiris since partition oppose Indian occupation in which Indian forces have killed more than 80,000 kashmiris .. Why dont you google this and read links from BBC written by your own Indian authors to know the facts.
64. Jewish Nakba
David ,   Plano   (05.19.11)
Theft is theft. Regardless of who is doing it or who did it first. These factors do not, in any way, legitimise theft. Driving out Jewish populations and looting Jewish property was, of course, wrong. To now argue that Palestinians must be driven out and their property appropriated and looted by Jews is somehow justified is ridiculous. Beyond ridiculous.
65. No one forced the Arab Jews?
Penny ,   UK   (05.19.11)
Jamal - you are completely wrong here. I know, being married to an Egyptian Jew whose family were forced to leave with 48hrs notice and with only the shirts on their backs. All their assets were taken by Nasser and were never returned.They arrived in the UK - a very alien culture for them - penniless. Maybe they were better off than others. Many experienced violence first.
66. Faraz
Penny ,   UK   (05.19.11)
Faraz, you clearly don't hang out with supporters of the Palestinians much. If you did, you might learn that almost as one, they maintain that the ONLY reason the Jews were booted out of Arab lands was a like-for-like action regarding the Palestinians. Let's not forget, what the Palestinian Nakba is all about. Five arab armies attacked Israel, determined to wipe the Jews out of the region. They failed. Nakba then, is a mourning for failing to murder on a grand scale.
67. serious about peace?
Paddy   (05.19.11)
"law for compensating Jewish refugees from Arab countries," which obligates the government to demand compensation as part of any future peace negotiations. So if a unilateral ceasefire and acceptance of the state of Israel was reached, they would still be required by law to push for compensation before considering peace. Now that doesn't sound like the actions of a country that just wants peace with its neighbours.
68. it is by G d hand
Esther ,   USA   (07.19.11)
Yes we were expeled from Egypt but it is G d law for the land of Israel to be established and grow and the jew go back to their own land which had been taken for years by the palestenians.
69. Two sides ? Always ..
Mohammed ,   Canada   (10.07.11)
Yes and Unicorns do exist ...
