1. boring Deja vu
yawn ,   world   (07.14.11)
2. Historically Gaza was the capital of what has become Palesti
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NY   (07.14.11)
Historically Gaza was the capital of what has become Palestine Jerusalem has never been an Arab or Muslim capital.
3. Did anyone expect that they were going to back Israel?
Marco ,   Spain   (07.14.11)
The only country in the Middle East that can help Arab League Members to get out of their miserable conditions is never supported by them. Instead Arab League supports another failed entity that is the biggest sponsor of terrorism and misery in the Middle East.
4. go palis go
maurice clebert ,   judea samaria israel   (07.14.11)
straight into the wall !!!
5. 2-State will be rejected on the ground
Nour ,   One-State   (07.14.11)
Therefore the PA and PLO along with the miserable Arab League of Fiefdoms are invited to pre-empt illegal mass annexations in the West Bank by declaring Palestine from the Jordan to the Mediterranean! See you in September chaps.
6. #3 Marco I am confused...
Maurice ,   Montreal   (07.14.11)
Are there two Marcos in Spain writing talkback here? There is one Marco who always spews venom against Israel, and another one, like in this talkback, wo supports Israel. Are you two different people? Or do you change opinions like you change shirts?
7. #3 No .
Yafa ,   Palestine   (07.14.11)
Check your information. they are going to back Palestine. and you are going to back Europe .
8. Support a Kurdish, Berber and Western Sahara state
Dan Kelso   (07.14.11)
All victims of Arab fascism.
9. No. 6, have you heard of split personality disorder?
Marco ,   Spain   (07.14.11)
10. proves there is no Palestinian identity
Chaim ,   Canada   (07.14.11)
The Arab League just wants another vote in its domination of the UN. There is no "Palestinian" nation - there never was.
11. "Palestine" First Imaginary landless capital-less state, OK
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (07.14.11)
12. Not much of an endorsement
William ,   Israel   (07.14.11)
The Arab League is very anti-West, anti-Israel, and always subjective. If anything, the Arab League members want a "Palestinian" State so they can dump all those "foreigners" from their own countries already.
13. #5 - they can declare a State from Beijing to Tripoli
William ,   Israel   (07.14.11)
it doesn't make it so, and it won't be accepted by the global community. So enjoy another failure at the hands of your own racist hubris. Speaking of "illegal mass annexation of West Bank", isn't that what the UN and other nations declared the actions by Jordan and Arabs was in 1949? Just another war crime by Arabs which underscores Israel's right to Judea and Samaria. Thanks.
14. #7 - by now the majority of Israelis are natives
William ,   Israel   (07.14.11)
and a good portion of them came from Middle Eastern countries, not Europe. Conversely, today, a good portion of those claiming to be "Palestinians" are natives of countries outside of the region, as far away as Sweden. And prior to the 1948 war, many came from as far away as Bosnia in search of jobs. Not exactly what you would define as "native", huh? Facts on the ground, dear. Don't expect them to change.
15. #10 - Arab League admitted this back in 1948
William ,   Israel   (07.14.11)
Their goal was not a State for a fictitious people called "Palestinians", it was to destroy the real State of Israel.
16. #9 - Marco
Maurice ,   Montreal   (07.14.11)
I see you got a sense of humour, but my question was serious. I would appreciate if you gave me a better explanation. Thanks.
17. #14 Thanks William , I will correct my statement.
Yafa ,   Palestine   (07.14.11)
we the Palestinians are going back to Palestine and you "the Jews" are going back to Middle Eastern countries & Europe. thanks dear.
18. Maurice / 16
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (07.14.11)
I believe there are two Marco's. When the 2nd Marco started posting the 1st Marco really got upset and complained loudly about the imposter.
19. #14: Jewish immigrants to Israel
LebanonPride ,   Canada   (07.14.11)
Is main reason the population of Israel's Jewish population is so high.
20. wrong #5
daze ,   US   (07.14.11)
No to 2 states-1 state all Israel. From now on you should consider posting as nour none state
21. #17 - ahhh, an Arab being selective...
William ,   Israel   (07.14.11)
what a surprise! Let me remind you of the second part of the post..."And prior to the 1948 war, many came from as far away as Bosnia in search of jobs. Not exactly what you would define as "native", huh?" If you're returning to your native land...you'd be moving en masse to Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Bosnia, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Sudan, etc. the good part is....most of you are already there so nothing more to do than just drop the fictitious title of "refugee".
22. Cont.. 'Convening another meeting'
Steve ,   USA   (07.14.11)
Let us continue with the never ending saga of the Arab League..... As I left you last time, the Arab League was deciding whether to decide (or not) when to hold their next 'urgent' meeting. They will decide this (when to hold the meeting) at a later date. This latest meeting of the Arab League had nothing to do with the last meeting. This time the Leagues' 'Peace Process Follow Up Committee' or the 'PPFUC' has actually made a decision! This was too much for the members to handle (actually making a decision) so a follow up meeting of the Supreme Council (of the Arab League) was ordered to decide if this actually happened or if another meeting was needed to discuss this. Stay tuned for more exciting news concerning the Arab League as they meet to discuss 'real events' like what's happening in Syria. Oh wait... that won't happen, it's too complicated and has nothing to do with their struggle with the 'Zionist State'.
23. 19
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (07.14.11)
They returned to their land. I'll bet a lot of Canadians wish you would do the same.
24. #19 - and how did you immigrate to Canada?
William ,   Israel   (07.14.11)
Simple - you submitted an application to a govt of a sovereign State. Jews immigrating to Israel after 1948 is not comparable to Arabs illegally sneaking into Palestine in the 1930s. Infact, the entire Western world is all abuzz about making the very distinctions between those two incidents which would decide whether someone stays or is deported.
25. Yafa, Yafa, Yafa
Y'hudi ,   Eretz Yisrael   (07.14.11)
Yafa, that is obviously not your real name, where did Am Yisrael come from before it lived in arab/african countries and europe. Eretz Yisrael of course. We were exiled and now is the time of the ingathering of the exiles. You and all supporters of a 'palestinian' state are obviously unlearned in Tanach (Torah, N'viim, and K'tovim). Plus, Yaakov went to Egypt with seventy nations, and 'palestinians were not one of them because there is no 'palestinian nation or people, just a group of people who have adopted a name. Plus, before 1948, the jews living in eretz Yisrael were called palestinians and the arabs were called arabs. You obviously don't know history very well and are very selective in what you choose to believe. You must be either a moslem or a christian and in being so you must believe in the Torah, because if you don't you cannot call yourself aither a moslem or a christian. G-d created Eretz Yisrael for Am Yisrael and arabia for arabs. Fact.
26. No. 16, Sorry
Marco ,   Spain   (07.14.11)
To give an explanation takes all the fun out of it. Sorry to disappoint.
27. Marco #26
Maurice ,   Montreal   (07.15.11)
But can you at least acknowledge that it is the same person? You really intrigue me Marco...
28. to Nour 5
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (07.15.11)
'see you in Sept"-why,is there another gay parade happening?Who cares.
29. Yet Jordan lobbies against it
