31. salmas serious response to #25
daze ,   US   (06.04.11)
I respect your serious response to #25, but I would like to ask you another question. After getting off the bus in jordan will you be clamoring to return to Israel proper?
32. Abbas ruled out negotiations that had no hope
Jon ,   Baltimore US   (06.04.11)
Binyamin Netanyahu made it clear that whilehe agreed to the idea of a Palestinian state he would block all attempts to create it so that he could keep his coalition government together and continue as PM. What Israel is afraid of is that the talks will be "moderated" by someone who is not held hostage by their money and political action committees.
33. Arabs are Arabs, Jews are Palestinians
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (06.04.11)
Let's start getting the dialog correct: The Arabs who call themselves "Palestinians" are just that - Arabs. 100 years ago when you said "Palestinian" you meant Jew.
34. Salma # 28 and the tales of 1001 nights
Harvey ,   London   (06.04.11)
Salma You demand your own state while casually throwing in so called ROR ,a mendacious cynical device designed to delegitimize israel This will not happen and as a consequence of such demands you will remain stateless and forever dependent on international welfare ,handouts and subsidies . Since ww2 there have been many population displacements . For the most part these displacements were not the fault of those displaced and yet they established lives for themselves in their new lands . You are of course aware of the 800,000 Jews kicked out of Arab lands with just the shirts on their backs . They were quickly absorbed into Israeli life . Unfortunately you will be a drain on the world resources indefinitely because the world owes you a living - in your eyes
35. #15 abdalla
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.04.11)
You may feel comforted that I will wait for a Palestinian state just as long as you will wait Which will be a helluva long time, in neither of our lifetimes or that of our great, great,great Grandchildren
36. #20 Salma - It that's what it takes
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.04.11)
to make your day, you must be living a rather crappy existence, if the best you have to do is to engage in mutual butt kissing with Nour Meanwhile, neither of you has the competence to answer the easy questions I asked Luarel & Hardy had a better act, at least they knw what they were doing
37. #22 re: 19 left out one world that rhymes
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.04.11)
It's a slang word for women in the Worlds Oldest Profession Hint, it starts with a "W"
38. OK, you get that Salma
Anti-Salma   (06.04.11)
The refugees, ONLY and only the original refugees will come back, we'll put all of them into state-run nursing homes, maybe with their right to vote if they stick to that. Full stop.
39. #31 daze
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.04.11)
Salma is in Bahrain, she has never been to Israel, thus she can't return
40. Hold at LeftBank cafe, espresso = 5 euros
Max Headroom ,   Kerguelen Islands   (06.04.11)
41. Obama, Sarkozy & Abbas are all deaf
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.05.11)
Netanyahu clearly said to forget about the pre-67 Borders
42. Since France has undertaken this project, the French
Harry Wright ,   UK   (06.05.11)
have to answer some questions before they could even talk about "Obama's vision". This is one - how can they engage in any peace talks when Hamas is sworn to destroy Israel and Israelis? It's a rather crazy proposition.
43. to 39
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (06.05.11)
Are you sure?Please answer me as I'm always telling her to go to Jordan. Oh dear.
44. How dare they insult France? Ignorant rabble!
H de Baskervilles   (06.05.11)
45. Would you buy a used car from them?
Max Schadenfreude   (06.05.11)
46. Another reason FRANCE can't be trusted
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.05.11)
We have to take into consideration Israeli's prior sad experience with France "THE BOATS OF CHERBOURG is the interesting story about the revolutionary missile boats used so effectively by Israel in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. The book describes the developping of the missile boat concept. The boats were built in the French harbour of Cherbourg. After delivering seven of the total twelve boats, the French government embargoed the last five for political reasons, even if all the boats were already paied by Israel. On Christmas Eve 1969, the boats were seen for the last time in Cherbourg. In that stormy night, they disappeared in direction to the street of Gibraltar, and finally they arrived safely at New Year's eve 1970 in Haifa, Israel. The whole world smiled at France after that incident
47. Yet ANOTHER REASON NOT TO TRUST
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.05.11)
During World War Two, French authorities eagerly cooperated with the Nazi's in their attempt to exterminate the Jews of France; their police couldn't gather the Jews fast enough for exportation It's in the history books and our memories, to the shame of France, along with the Dreyfus case
