31. Good for Israel
John ,   Alaska   (07.13.11)
According to the article: "The Palestinians also refuse to halt all demands from Israel once a peace deal is signed, and oppose demands to recognize Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people as well as to modify their education to cease all enmity towards the state, sources say." Your enemies are not letting you violate Scripture by giving away your land to your enemies. HaShem is thereby using the implacability of your enemies to counter the foolishness of your leaders.
32. To #13 Wissam and #16 Salma
John ,   Alaska   (07.13.11)
In 1937, Arab leader Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi told the Peel Commission, "There is no such country as 'Palestine'; 'Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented!" In 1946, Arab historian Philip Hitti testified before the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry that "there is no such thing as Palestine in history." This are your own leaders' words on "Palestine." How do you answer them?
33. To: No. 13
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.13.11)
Well, you know -- all those missiles that are fired into Israel from Gaza -- all those suicide bombers and terrorist scum -- all those threatening noises out of the thirty-odd ersatz "Palestinian" terrorist organizations -- the dead Fogel family -- sort of makes me POSITIVE that you are refusing peace. The last thing I would choose to read if I want facts is the ersatz "Palestinian" papers. You people wouldn't know facts if they got up and bit you in your brains. About half-way up your bodies.
34. To: No. 16
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.13.11)
Tell me -- is nothing EVER the fault of the ersatz "Palestinians?" Do you know what an international laughingstock you are because of your determined refusal to accept responsibility for anything? Including your bad acts and stupid, self-destructive behavior? So when Europe galvanized to prevent the flotilla from sailing, was that a "Zionist plot," too? How about when those same European -- and private air carriers -- put forth a magnificent effort to prevent terrorist sympathizers from flying to Israel -- and succeeded wonderfully well, I might add -- was that a "Zionist plot," too? No, the world -- the part which matters -- has finally accepted the fact that you are incapable of self-government, remarkably recalcitrant and oh-so-stupid and intransigent. You're toast. You need to start packing. You're not long for Medinat Israel.
35. "QUARTET" Sounds like an old
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (07.13.11)
singing group of 50 years ago that everybody had forgotten years ago
36. Quartet? What an idiotic term.
(07.13.11)
The Quartet
37. Thank you "Israeli" sources
James   (07.13.11)
What "Israeli" official released this inside information--Avigdor Lieberman?
38. For Slomon in Brooklyn...Sorry I disappointed you....

Here's the key. Before the Quartet meeting, Netnyahu was terrified that the Quartet would approve Obama's speech, and long-standing US policy, that negotiations would be based on the pre-'67 borders with mutually agreed upon land swaps. Now we are regaled with a story neglecting this purpose of the Quartets's meeting, a meeting once postponed at the behest of the US to discuss that very issue, and are instead told that the failure of the Quartet to issue a statement was the Palestinian's, for they refused to agree to stop their petition for statehood before the UN. So, what gives? It seems the story is incomplete at best, and shoddily written at worst. The problem with the Quartet is that they are supposed to enforce the Road Map obligations yet, under political pressure from the Israelis and the US, have never done so. An unenforceable agreement is not worth the paper it is written on. By the way, the US has never acknowledged Israel officially as a Jewish state, why should the Palestinians? As to incitement, I would refer you to members of the Knesset and rabbis such as Yosef Ovadia.who could give leesons in incitement, pure hatred, and racism. Funny how you can always see the mote in another's eye while ignoring the log in your own. Pathetic, isn't it?
39. MSAILOR. US never demanded millions of Arabs move to Israel
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (07.13.11)
It takes 2 sides to make the road map work. That includes the can do no wrong darlings of the uberleft. Have you seen what they refuse to do ?
40. #38 Mikesailor - my TOES thank you for the LAUGHS
CK Tan ,   Singapore, Singapore   (07.13.11)
They are TOTALLY tickled by what an IGNORAMUS you truly are. So you MOCKED an anonymous source as UNRELIABLE. Yet you did NOT provide any shred of PROOF for your claim - "under political pressure from the Israelis and the US" re the Quartet and RM. You also STATE that "the US has never acknowledged Israel officially as a Jewish state". Guess what? BOTH Houses of US Congress issued a resolution that UNANIMOUSLY recognised Palestine as the JEWISH homeland. In 1922. And this OFFICIAL affirmation has remain UNCHANGED to this day. Again, my giggly toes THANK YOU for being the pathetic JOKE of the day.
41. Is the whole PA leadership stupid?
michael redbourn ,   arad israel   (07.13.11)
The PA keeps shooting itself in the foot. http://➪.ws/pa-quartet But surely some of the PA leadership are less than brain-dead?
42. #15;Mikesailor, AND NONSENSE
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (07.13.11)
But what proof do have of that? As we know when a story states according to "Palestinian Sources" then you have a problem. Type in the word "Pallywood" into address bar, press "enter" and watch the video (Pallywood 101). Add to that all fake and current stories (i.e. Fake Jenin Massacre, fake crisis in Gaza, staged Gaza beach incident, the 2010 flotilla, the faked Lebanese / .Israeli Border incident last year etc.) the list is nearly endless. So to read some fool accusing Israel...without any proof...of what the Palestinians are clearly guilty of is laughable. you truly are one pitiful person. Why do you make such obviously and provable lies as statements of fact? Never mind, I know why. But you could prove me wrong, by setting out some examples of Israeli sources being unreliable, we'll all be anxiously waiting.
43. To: No. 27
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.13.11)
Here you decry me for being "authoritative" (well, that's truly because my work puts me in a position of considerable authority) and then you turn around and engage in an authoritative (and ridiculous) jeremiad, assuming facts which you simply do not have. That, sir, makes you little more than a joke. And, quite possibly, considerably less.
