31. One-State Solution
Joseph ,   West Bank   (06.17.11)
I agree, 2-states is impossible. The solution is one-state for all shared equally between Arabs and Jews. Arabs from the West Bank and Gaza can move and live anywhere inside Israel from the lands they were expelled from. And Jews can move and live anywhere in the West Bank. Then all the Palestinian refugees from neighboring countries can return home to this newly-enlarged state. Everyone will have equal rights and the population will be split evenly 50/50 Arab-Jew and half the Knesset will be Arab and the other half Jewish. The national languages will be Hebrew-Arabic and the official religions will be Jew, Muslim, and Christian. Palestinians should drop their demand for an independent state because Israel will never let us have a viable state with true freedom and independence. This is the only solution left.
32. BREAKING NEWS!
IamJoseph ,   Sydney   (06.17.11)
Serial 2-states in the same land = genocide. "IT WILL BE A HISTORIC COMPROMISE TO GRANT TWO STATES IN PALESTINE - ONE FOR THE JEWS AND ONE FOR THE ARABS" - A cigar chomping Churchill.
33. No Joseph #31 we won't have you either
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (06.17.11)
You and the rest of the Jordanian citizens must go your country which is 3 times the size of ours. You are not Israeli citizens, you will never be Israeli citizens and we refuse to add thousands of lazy fascist terrorists to our country.
34. Nothing new.. the one state solution
John Robey ,   Austin, Texas   (06.17.11)
except then Israel is stuck with millions and millions of Pals in her border. Of course there is still the Kahane final solution alternative or just abandon any pretense of being a democracy.
35. To #8 Palestinians have the right to return to Jordan and
EST ,   Miami USA   (06.17.11)
Egypt!!! That's where they came from...but even those countreis don't want them as they are avirulent violent political party ... not a people. Read history...google Black September in the 70's....look up Arafat's birth and childhood...Jordan...Egypt...so stop the lies...
36. nobody worried about jwish refugees from arab lands so why
bernard ross ,   st anns bay jamaica   (06.17.11)
worry about the arab refugees who now call themselves "palestinian", a foreign name coined by the euro roman killers and exilers of the inhabitants of Israel. "palestinians" belong in rome or in the homes of the jews who fled arab lands.
37.  # 1
Boby ,   Houston   (06.17.11)
"biblical, historic and legal rights to Judea and Samaria, our heartland" Living in a fantasy world. We are here to stay bud. You can leave if you want to. Biblical, This is funny.
38. The ONLY solution
Armand Kidouchim ,   Calabasas, CA, USA   (06.17.11)
1 - Israel recaptures and reconstitutes the original LAND MASS as per 1918 - the end of the ottoman empire and before Jew haters invented the ''Palestinians'', who were called until then, ARABS. 2 - The larger Israel will include GAZA, present day Israel including the west bank and JORDAN (an invention). 3 - Move all the peace loving arabs/islam/muslims to what is now Jordan. Then negotiate the 2 states solution. 4 - Israel (Jewish) will include GAZA and the West Bank and Palestine will be Jordan (still way larger in size than Israel). 5 - Yes the world will react against Israel and the Jews, Israel is powerful enough to neutralize any attacker. 6 - Palestine/Jordan will benefit from economic development provided by Israel. With superior technology and soon enough Money from Israel's oil/Gas to make Palestine/Jordan very viable and rich. 7 - No more wars will mean progress and development for a better life to the ''ARABS''. The alternatives will not work and will inevitably end into a NUCLEAR WAR of biblical proportions. As to the rest of the ARAB world; the land mass is still going to be over 600 times that of the greater Israel. All other options will only work if ISLAM and MUSLIMS were not teaching hatred of the jews and the infidels and yet we would need to wait few generations.
39. Appalling calls for ethnic cleansing
David   (06.17.11)
It is clear from these talkbacks that many Jews support the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from the lands. It is shameful and disgusting.
40. Moving 4 to 5 Million?
Mark ben Josuf ,   USA   (06.17.11)
How some Talkbackers think they can induce 4 to 5 million people to move voluntarily is one real question. How do you all plan to get Jordan to agree, invasion? Coup? What incentive would Jordan have to take in 4 to 5 million refugees? It has been mentioned paying them. What if you don't offer enough? What then? Is there enough money in Israel to build all the infrastructure in Jordan for an extra 4 to 5 million people? Roads, schools, housing, hospitals, stores, businesses? All ready for occupation? Many in the US think that "never again" applies even when non-Jews are threatened. Libya and Sarajevo are examples where the US moved to prevent things from happening to non-Jews. The India-Pakistan swap was not achieved peacefully. What is the plan?
41. An alternative 2-state solution
Ehud ,   Israel (not Judea)   (06.17.11)
If the settlers and right wing lookers cannot tolerate the idea of being separated from the Palestinians why not the following solution: A democratic and economically highly productive state of Israel within the 67 lines,free of religious coercion, with a clear Jewish majority and equal rights for minorities as was the dream of the Zionistic pioneers next to a state of Judea-Palestine, where settlers will take care of their own security and live off their own budget and work it out with the Palestinian neighbors. Will be particularly interesting to watch the interfaith dialogue between religious zealots from both sides. Let's see how long the settler looneys who like to look down on us secular hedonist last - economically as well as militarily. But leave us sane people - who do not indulge in this "we against the whole world of goyim" mentality - alone!
42. Israel's War of Independence has not ended , it is going on
olim hadashim ,   tel aviv/israel   (06.17.11)
43. To Marco from Spain
Ehud   (06.17.11)
I guess the fact that you have so much time to indulge in antisemitic rants is because you are one of the more than 21% (officially) unemployed in your country, which took such a bad turn after the expulsion of its productive and creative Jewish minority. After you spiral down and the Germans run out of money to bail all the losers out, we may actually buy parts of your country with all our money. So you better be nicer to us!
44. Negotiations ended with the Olmert government.
Jon ,   Baltimore US   (06.17.11)
This government and the Israeli people in general, judging from the talkbacks here, only dictate, not negotiate. No one else has any rights or entitlements. The choice is accept whatever small concessions that are offered or fight a war, and as Sarah B has so nobly pointed out before, Israel will take millions of people with her when she goes down in flames. As David # 39 pointed out, the calls for ethnic cleansing are appaling, and the push to attack your neighbors again is worse, but only to people who have some shred of decency left.
45. @Mark #40 moving 4 to 5 million
Benjamin ,   Cleveland, Ohio   (06.17.11)
Mark, and all, How do you get 4-5 million people to emigrate? Well, this is something that has been done many times throughout history, right? It is not an impossibility. We must admit to ourselves that the time when we could afford indiscriminate religious tolerance, has passed. So, how do you move 4 to 5 million? You must obey the Torah from Eloheinu... criminalize the worship of foreign gods. Israel can thrive, even while having disagreements among those religions that worship the g-d of Israel, whose chosen place is Jerusalem. We'll call that sort of co-operation "religious tolerance". In the old days, the most important factor by which a ruler of Yisrael was evaluated was: Did he or did he not tear down the high places of the foreign gods? That same ancient criterion answers many of our needs, today. Criminalize, in Israel, the worship of the moon-god of Mecca. In fact, that same program (in reverse) has been working well for the Sauds, for generations now.
46. How can you write an article about an event without details?
Inbal ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.18.11)
What the hell is the OU-Israel Center? Where is it? Is the conference open to the public?
