31. When the Jews are finished building and the arabs are
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (05.25.11)
finally ready to negotiate, the available area for "palestine" will be the building that abbas has his office in right now.
32. Abbas, Israel and the UN
Freddy Maier ,   Israel   (05.25.11)
In 1947, Great Britain in charge of the region by Nations Society (1920) turned to General Assembly to accept the partition...... Abbas thinks that the same G.A. has the legal power today to "create" a state of Palestine.......wrong. State of Palestine was already recognized in 1988......nothing changed on the ground as there must be an agreement... The Palestinian Authority is here because it is stipulated in the Oslo Agreement. This agreement also stipulates that both parties MUST find an agreement for the borders.... If Abbas now goes to UN to get legitimation (against Oslo agreement) that will automatically cancel the Oslo Agreement....the Palestinian Authority will not be legal anymore, Israel will not HAVE to give part of the Territories to the Arabs, Legally, it is a big mistake that the Palestinians are planning to do.... It will be that much easier and LEGAL for Israel to declare some parts of Judea and Samaria, if not all, part of the State of Israel.....
33. WHEN POLITICAL LEADERS FAIL THE PEOPLE.....
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (05.25.11)
...in democracies,they resign and let somebody else take over and generally there's a new election. But this failure,Abbas,clings on to his unelected position like a limpet.Probably he's doing too well out of his position and he has no pride. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
34. A BIT OF SYMPATHY FOR ABBAS
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (05.25.11)
The man's 76 years old and has lived a sedentary life for many years. There's no getting away from the fact that he's getting seriously confused.A clear sign that senile dementia has caught up with him. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
35. The PA Idiots
Brod ,   USA   (05.25.11)
The PA idiots should shut their mouths. They are the idiots of the world. The world should stop being fooled by them.
36. The plo is DOA
Bless Israel ,   USA   (05.26.11)

42. to nour@ #15
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (05.26.11)
Even if UN "shall" "admit" palis on some make belief basis, then what ? Do you think, having a sovereignty is all about exchanging ambassadors,being validated by some other countries and asking handouts ? At the end of the day you need to learn to do something else then terrorism.. Some infrastructure,some peaceful trades and endles good will.,Amd how would chamas,fattah,etc.fit into all this, nour ? It is you do need to fasten yourseat belt...You are going home to Jordan.
43. 2-run away run away!!!
Ypip ,   Canada   (05.26.11)
44. to 7
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (05.26.11)
What occupation stupid-the Arab squatters in Israel?Don't worry,if they don't agree to loyalty to Israel they will go to "Palestine"Jordan.
45. to 29
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (05.26.11)
You can hum all you like-if no loyalty to Israel-bye,bye.
46. The Arabs are angry because 1. They dont have a personality
Don ,   USA   (05.26.11)
like bibi anywhere in the 22 brutal Arab dictatorships 2. Because the Jews the aboriginal people of the Middle East understand the ugly tricks of the nasty Arab governments. 3. Islam cannot destroy the Jewish sovereignty via the Palestinian Arab insurgency or any other terrorists/the European anti-Semites.
47. What about YOUR basis for talks, Abbas?
Jewish Warrior   (05.26.11)
Indefensible borders, Israel voluntarily giving up the most sacred and treasured city of the Jewish people, and a refugee flood?
48. Go ahead abed Rabbo, you are your master's voice
moshe   (05.26.11)
Abbas, as usual, your empty comments, speeches, your hate classes for arab little chidren (your specialty) will never be a basis for talks (we mean civilized discussions). So stupid jerk, go ahead with your bid for recognition today. Why wait and waste 4 more months of worthless, repetitive, empty interviews that no one want's to hear and see. --- RACIST ?, look who is talking about racism (self incrimination? )---- Unlike arabs, Israel does not massacre it's own in addition to christians; unlike arabs,Israel does not enslave it's citizens and steal from them Billions$; Unlike arabs, Israel does not slaughter it's daughters in order to satisfy their sadist god's thirst for blood. Unlike arabs, Israel does not build palaces for it's leaders, while the wretched masses live in dire conditions - food, health, work. Should I mention your favorite friends, all assassins, thieves, despots like Ben Ali, Jordan's and saudis kings, Saleh, Mubarak, Kaddaffi, Haniyeh, and many others. You sure are in good company. So go ahead, talk about racism, the stupid world of ours is eager to know. No one is better qualified than you to tackle this subject. You have the expertise, 1400 years of hands-on experience.
49. SAY NINE WORDS, WHY NOT?
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (05.26.11)
The game is over, whatever the Abbas thinks. The USA will veto any Resolution in the UN Security Council which kills the issue. So the rest is just a PR game from the Pals. They can have a country anytime they want. As BiBi pointed out they only need tgo say SIX words. But they can't "Accept Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state". OK, NINE words. How laughable is that, the Pals cannot say nine words to get a country.
50. To: No. 29
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.26.11)
You are truly delusional. What will happen in the absence of an ersatz "Palestinian" state? Oh, that's easy. Judea and Samaria will be annexed. You won't be expelled -- you'll be repatriated to Jordan, country of your citizenship. How do you propose to demand the right to vote in Israeli elections from Amman? It is you who needs to "wake up and smell the olives." Did you think that six wars and seven decades of terror have endeared you to us? Did you not realize that sooner or later, it would come to an end? Did you not realize that the final straw was that foolish, foolish decision by Fatah to enter into a "unity agreement" with Hamas? That was all we needed to realize that Fatah has absolutely no intention of ever recognizing the right of the State of Israel to exist. Well -- Israel DOES exist; you, on the other hand, DO NOT. What's more -- you never will. There will never be an ersatz "Palestinian" state. Don't feel too badly -- the ersatz "Palestinians" have proven themselves congenitally incapable of making smart decisions. Your whole culture is one of death, violence and destruction. To build a state, you need to value life and peace. You need to know how to build. The really sad thing is that the only people that have ever reached out to the ersatz "Palestinians" are the Jews. We thought we could get you to see that peaceful co-existence would be beneficial to both our societies. Look what we did for you in the West Bank. When acquired by Israel in 1967, it was a truly primitive place -- only 30% of the homes had indoor plumbing; less than 30% of the homes had electricity. The infant mortality rate was among the highest in the world. There was no infrastructure -- sewage ran raw in the streets, which is why there were perennial outbreaks of cholera. Israel fixed all that for you, and more: built hospitals, universities, schools, medical clinics, roads; taught you modern irrigation techniques; built museums, theatres, cultural and community centers; well-paying jobs in Israel were available to anyone from the West Bank who wanted one. We made life good for you. And how did you repay our graciousness and offer of friendship? With terror, terror, and more terror. Did you think we would put up with it forever? After all that, how can you now think that we will negotiate with people who are bent on our destruction? We won't. You have lost your last best chance. Yes, there will be one state, and it will include Judea and Samaria. But it will not include you -- we are sending you home to Jordan. Game over. Have a nice life.
51. To: Don at No. 46
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.26.11)
You neglected to mention that they are angry because they Israel end-played them so beautifully. They have only themselves to blame. Arabs teach hatred, violence and destruction. Jews teach how to learn and how to build. The outcome was inevitable.
52. Go for it Abbas...
Gabriel ,   Jerusalem   (05.26.11)
But be sure to control your forces and militias first... Because the first missile a nutjob wacko Hamas created throws at an Israeli city, as a nation, your actions will be considered an act of war. It's a lot of responsibility to be a nation, is Palestine ready for these duties????
