31. UN Security Council Resolution, 242, in no way suggests...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (05.23.11)
...what the future boundaries of Israel should be. In fact, specifically, when addressing the subject, 242 refers to "secure and recognized boundaries". Any attempt to see Israel giving up on its security by ensuring that its future boundaries be other than secure and recognized by the warring parties, as called for by 242, is indicative of how much the security of the nation-state of the Jewish people, Israel, is of little or no importance to him/her, not withstanding statements such as "our commitment to Israel's security is unshakable". P.S. UN Security Council Resolution, 242, does not call for the setting up of an additional state in the region nor does 242 mention concepts such as "Palestinians", "Palestine" or a "Palestinian state".
32. no choice, but say yes !
karim ,   france   (05.23.11)
why all these hysterical comments, now is very obvious that the Palestinian state will be created in a few months. and proclamation will be a true legal value not only sympbolic, despite what Israel and obama claims, a Belgian lawyer, of the university said once, that if the Resolution 377 is used, then it will completely change the legal framework. over at least 130 countries will recognize this state. israel will have to make their Palestinian territories
33. #26 what?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Salma ,   Palestine   (05.23.11)
34. Jordan is Palestine. Dividing God's land (Jerusalem) will
Rivkah   (05.23.11)
lead to Armageddon, Joel the Prophet warns in Scriptures. Israel must be given more land since to do less than that is equivlalent to calling YHWH a liar which is very dangerous to do. The Balfour Declaration territorial lines for the Jewish homeland is what should be given to Israel to start with.
35. #8, you poor deluded soul
Jake ,   USA   (05.23.11)
People like yourself, who support interference in far-flung regions, hold views in opposition to those of Jefferson, Washington, and other founding fathers of the U.S. The U.S. is supposed to be an isolationist republic, not an extension of the evil British empire. There is nothing anti-American about supporting Israel's right to make her own decisions.
36. "Palestinians" can look forward to compensation to leave.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.23.11)
"Palestinians" are poseurs with no legitimate claim on Israel's more than 3,500 year old Homeland. However, they can look forward to fair compensation to leave our land.
37. #7: Yes Samy, but there were no Palestinians 5000 years ago!
David ,   Israel   (05.23.11)
The Sons Ishmael were in the Arabian desert living tents and eating sheep and low and behold there was no Islam for another 3500 years! Abraham, well, he was here in Canaan and going forth and multiplying. He, his son and grandson are buried in Hebron and Joseph with the coat of many colors is buried in Nablus (Shechem)! Do you have any relatives buried in this area 3000 to 5000 years ago? At the time of the Roman Occupation there were Jews here. They crucified a young Jewish guy, destroyed Jerusalem and fed Jews and Christians to the lions but again, there were no Palestinians. Actually, the people in this area before the Romans were Jews so they, the Jews, were the original Palestinians! So, Samy, who belongs where? Maybe go and tell the Saudi Arabians that Saudi Arabia is your country and you want the oil!
38. I was going to complement Salma too
Mar   (05.23.11)
Regarding post #22 and #26, I want to echo that the people who most respect you are in the Israeli Right wing. We realize the tenacity of your demands and your strength in battle. But when we defeat you with G-d's help, we will complete our respect by burying you within our homeland and by celebrating without gloating. I agree with Israel Israeli that you maintain a standard of honesty Salma when your write. For example, when you write, "plz remember that the neighboring Arab regimes are today barely able to maintain its survival," from context, you are implying that if we granted citizenship to 3.5 Million Arabs, Israel would be destabilized and that the Arabs would be a 5th column. [My response is that after annexation, it would be up to the Israeli Supreme Court to determine whether granting such citizenship would be constitutional, considering the value that Israel is a Jewish state as contained in the Israeli Proclamation of Independence.] The second example where you show a consistent standard of honesty is by putting the term Israel in quotes, since you do not recognize Israel, just as Abbas' party Fatah does not recognize Israel, and Oslo was never ratified by the Palestinian Legislative Council, which the Israeli Leftwing is in denial about, and thus does not respect you enough to listen to you. I also agree with Israel Israeli that you Salma are moderate for a Middle Eastern Arab. For instance, as an alternative to a Palestinian state, instead of demanding all Arab refugees be given immediate Israeli citizenship, you present the reasonable demand that the 3.5 Million Arabs living in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza alone be given citizenship, and leave amending the law of return to apply to Arabs to democratic means once the 3.5 Million Arabs have been given Israeli citizenship.
39. Paul - 6
Eyal ,   USA ISRAEL   (05.23.11)
Well you see Paul, just like there are a few Jews, there are also a few rich people in the world and guess which minority religion in the US has the money? You guessed it, the Jews and guess who needs money to campaign? You guessed it sucker. Jews Rule no matter what you try to say or do.
40. Say NO to a Palestinian state...
Anna M Sedda ,   Rome-Italy   (05.23.11)
NO!!!!!!!!!
41. #16 The Alofs Delusion
Phil ,   Ireland   (05.24.11)
Hamas openly call for the killing of Jews. Alofs says nothing about this but expects Israel to accept their terms. Is this guy NUTS?? Is he so delusional that he thinks Israel or the outside world will accept this? The Right Wing Fascist Alofs backs extreme Islam.
