1. Total bull
Michael Steiner ,   Bahrain   (08.19.11)
The Eilat attacks were carried out by terrorists who were by the looks of things not Palestinian and certainly not from the West Bank, and who made the incursion from Egypt, not from the P.A. What does it have to do with Messrs. Abas, Fayad or any other P.A. official. If anything, the P.A. has done a marvelous job in the West Bank, which is--thanks to their efforts--now quieter in terms of security and the economy since any time in its in the history of the conflict, including when Israel exercised full control over it. I think the P.A. most definitely demonstrated it DOES deserve a state. And at any rate, in international law, the right to self-determination is not assessed on the basis of whether a nation "deserves" a state or not. You really will grasp at the flimsiest of straws, won't you. Face it: A Palestinian state is coming, whether this September or next September or the September after that. The sooner Israel accepts it, the less painful it's going to be.
2. Israel doesn't deserve a state
LebanonPride ,   Canada   (08.20.11)
3. No. 1, bigger bull in Manama, are you out of jail already?
Marco ,   Spain   (08.19.11)
Sunnis there should keep you locked up forever for inciting Shia to riot. You are being reported to the Makhabarat.
4. Of COURSE they werent
A ,   Belgium   (08.20.11)
Palestinian and certainly not from the West Bank, and who made the incursion from Egypt, not from the P.A. You are absolutly correct! They were old Italian women looking for tomatoes for spaghetti sauce. The PA has already admitted that the PRC were responsible, meaning, they will stab themselves in the back in order not to recieve a visit from the IAF. Such cowards!
5. we are tired of fighting
alexi   (08.20.11)
avi, you sat with the shmo olmert who convinced sharon to withdraw unillaterally from gaza when many said gaza would end up firing rockets. And you let him carry on with his pacifist delusions. Now you wake up to reality. Jesus-how naive were you. and with ehud barak, israel will not properly respond to terror., Gaza has to be hit with everything including rockets to shut them up like the russians did to the georgians.
6. No Palestine EVER! You can take that to the bank.
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.20.11)
It doesn't matter how the U.N. votes. It has voted to condemn Israel hundreds of times in biased and racist resolutions. It shall continue to do so until Western nations wise up and stop funding it. That may not be long if the U.S. Republicans win the upcoming presidential election; as they should. There will never be a "Palestine" in Judea and Samaria EVER! We won't let such a tragedy happen to us. You can take that to the bank.
7. avi dichter- "abbas deserves no state".
sjoerd ruurd ,   everywhere   (08.20.11)
it is not up only, one-sided, unilaterarely to avi dichter and the revisionist zionist leadership to decide whether the palestinian people will have/ has their own state or not. besides the two parties in the conflict, the un can also mediate in a fair and honest way.
8. #1 yeah but the world better not let it be a failed state
stupid steiner   (08.20.11)
9. Who is the head of Fatah
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (08.20.11)
Why it is Abbas. Which terrorist organization has committed the most terrorist attacks - why it is Fatah. Why is Abbas still alive is the real question? Terrorism is a war crime and is punishable here by death. Carry out the sentence.
10. This is the time to get heavy on Hamas
Anna M Sedda ,   Rome-Italy   (08.20.11)
.and make their headquarter just something to be remembered....destroy the all lot and free Shalit
11. Abbas ia terroris like Arafat and shoal not
Anna M Sedda ,   Rome-Italy   (08.20.11)
...get anything that what a terrorist deserve,a nice prison until he lives...I cannot imagine given a State to a terror supporter....he has target civilians like Arafat,the"architect of lies",showing no mercy for innocent all over Europe....He should get a big kick on his ass once for ever,we are sick with Pali and Arabs
12. Amen #9
Moragh   (08.20.11)
13. terror is the weapon of the Arab low cost war against Israel
Yael Schlichting ,   Haifa - Israel   (08.20.11)
All this reminds me a bit to the Fedayin problem during the 50s and 60s of the last century.
14. Old news that 'everybody saw coming
tiki ,   belgium   (08.20.11)
Question is....what's Israel going to do about it. Now, if the so called Palestinians 'deserve a State is irelevant, because the world 'wants them to have a state, because they need to 'suck up to the Arabs, who want them to have a state, not out of love, but out of hate...... for Israel. If something is against Israel, anything goes. It's about time Israel takes this message to hart and stop trusting the Arab/Palies & world leaders 'words.
15. He does deserve death-penalty as a terror mastermind !
Ben Zion   (08.20.11)
16. to 14 israel is doomed to fail in all its actions
sohaib ,   Scotland   (08.20.11)
natural course of things,israel will face the music soon, the state of palestine will see the light and there is nothing Israel can do, apart from starting a wave of terror and attacks gaza like you usually do.
17. Palestenian state desrves better that Abbas
sohaib ,   Scotland   (08.20.11)
you can jump up and down all you want and critises egypt and hamas and the palestenian and the whole world i f you wished, but you will nt be able to deter the Palestenians form their right to resist your brutal regime anoust yous all out of their land.
18. The PA is foreshadowing its intentions
Isaac   (08.20.11)
Abbas and the PA are responsible because they signed an agreement with Hamas for a unity government; however, even if they had not signed such an agreement, the PA is still responsible as the representative. The world at large is now viewing a foreshadowing of what an (or really, another) independent Arab state would be like - a terrorist state seeking to destroy Israel - all compliments of Abbas and Fayyad.
19. Dichter cannot see the elephant in the room
Steve   (08.20.11)
Virtually every week we read Prime Minister Netanyahu begging terror-chief Abbas to sit down and negotiate Israel's surrender of vital land to the jihadists. There has been no reversal on Netanyahu's part. He is dedicated to the establishment of a 'demilitarized' Muslim-enemy state in Judea, Samaria; Gaza. It will be a state decicated to Israel's destruction. We listened attentively to Netanyahu's speech before Congress where he again made clear he wants a demilitarized Muslim-enemy state on the mountains of Israel. With the U.S. campaign for president heating up, how does Dichter expect pro-Israel conservatives to get Repuplican candidates on record in opposition to a Muslim-terrror state in Israel when Israel's prime minister boldly and forefully supports it?
20. Palestinian State of?
max ,   washington dc   (08.20.11)
As the World just witnessed more murderous attacks from Palestinian Terrorists it is now clear from the responses of Abbas, Ekerat and even Egypt that any new Palestinian State will be a "Palestinian State of Terror" and not of Peace!
21. #1 Whether it has to do with
macktheknife   (08.20.11)
Israel or not, arabs are born killers. It's in their blood from birth. It must be in my blood too since I want ALL arabs dead! How so much better if arabs had NEVER been born! Yes I'm selfish! I want the world for me and my kind and THAT excludes all arabs!
22. sjoer ruurd #7
Moragh, Australia   (08.20.11)
man oh man, you sure got your knickers twisted there, mate!
23. tiki Belgium
Jules   (08.20.11)
I have always said get rid of the bastards, but it seems that nobody believes me! Guess this is the reason that the arabs can keep going. Oy veh!
24. People deserve the state.
Ernest S.   (08.20.11)
25. You're all spinning your wheels
StevieT ,   Usa   (08.20.11)
As things currently stand, they can not have a State. this whole debate is senseless. The UN charter will not allow the entry of a new country that has beligterent relations with an existing member country. So, unless the PA can jettison Hamas, an impossible task, there can be no State....PERIOD!
26. Sick Mentality
Bsa John ,   UK   (08.20.11)
You see, with this mentality who is the terrorist. You need a psychiatrist. You need us to sympathies with you. Hell no.
27. #1 Michael
David ,   America   (08.20.11)
Enough of your stupid propaganda! It doesn't matter whether it is hamas, hezbollah, PA, or any other branch of the many headed snake spread out through the Middle East and the world trying to destroy Israel! The same blood runs in all their veins and the same crap from all their mouths. The wickedness will not stand! Borders, names, countries etc. doesn't matter. It is one snake with the same venom, the same charter and you are a part of it. Go hide in a cave and pray for the rocks to fall on you likethe hezzies taught you.
28. A state?
Larry ,   Or Yehuda   (08.20.11)
You need to first realize that there is no such thing as a Palestinian. The Palestinian nation did not exists before 1965. The Kurds have more right to a nation. To the people who think that the Palestinians are doing wonders, remember that they are building on Israeli territory! Would you like it if squatters claimed your land as theirs? Would you want me to claim two rooms of your home as mine?
29. sohaib in Scotland
tiki ,   belgium   (08.20.11)
I said "the world 'wants them to have state", this doesn't mean they 'will have a state'. Don't 'sell the skin, before you shoot the bear! This is the 'natural course of behaviour of the Arabs but in the end all their usual bruhaha 'always fizzles out like a night candle and than it's everybody elses fault, never theirs. So, let's wait & see which light we will see, what music we will face, what "Palestine" will (not) be , who is doomed to fail again and who will re-start the wave of terror again.
30. To Chaim:Israel Must Declare Martial Law ASAP
Noah Lev ,   HollywoodUSA   (08.20.11)
To Chaim: P.S Read MichaelOrens Six Days of War to find out, what if, what if Israel lost? Read Seymour Hirsch's Samson Option and Wikipedia for info on Israel'[s nuke capabiity. It has 500 1megaton bombs, (including hydrogen), lithium, cobalt, neutron, suitcase,on 3 delivery systems: Dolphin Subs, F15s,16Is, Jerichos ( 1,000 mile range), other missiles, artillery shells, Phantom 2,000, (F4Es). It will have 75 F35 Eagles within a few years. It is developing its DanielsSling, Patriot, Iron dome antimissiledefense.It has supra orbit capabiility to put weapons in orbit...and strike Iran from space. It is shielding its motor vehicles with lasers and electronic impulses. It can take out Hamas/Hez bombined in 48 years if it chooses, and fights like men, w/o being intimidated by the Jewish traitors like Goldstone, JSt. Peace Now, the cottage cheese protestors, (while Jewish babies and religious students are hit by Grads). Israel should: declare marshal law...arrest anyone who interfers..including Abbas, Erekat, Fayyad and Ashrawi. Bargouti..put in solitary..2hr break.daily. No guests or TV. If Israeli peace groups file SC complaints, arrest them for sedition. We will take care of our own versions of leftist traitors...vociferous while more Jews are targeted by the peace loving Palestinian Arabs.
