1. Fabulous- Show Down/Smack Down at the UN
Bad assed Jew. ,   United States   (09.22.11)
Obama made this happen by trying to outwit both the pals and Israel. Problem is, he's witless and only outsmarted himself as now, both the pals and Israel are equally disgusted with the soon to be non qualified ex President who should have never been elected in the first place. An unnatural disaster. Remedy, Nov. 2012.
2. starting point
su ,   jerusalem   (09.22.11)
the basis for success is respect. palestinians want a palestinian state but refuse to acknowledge the right of Jewish State to exist in the area. If we get over that hurdle. we are really on the way.
3. If they really want peace and statehood...
IfThingsMadeSense ,   Brooklyn,NY USA   (09.22.11)
I would agree to Palestinian statehood if it wasn't so one sided. Where are the people crying that Jordan and Syria don't give up land for this supposed state? When Jordan and Syria give up some land in the name of peace, I'll believe they all really want peace...
4. It's because of people like Obama ....we hate America.
Salma ,   Palestine   (09.22.11)
It's because of people like Rachel Corrie.....we love America.
5. ***Dozens*** of protesters...??? LOL
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (09.22.11)
That storm in a tea bowl tells it ALL...Abbas and his followers wre finished...
6. Rally for Osama Bin Laden was much bigger in 2001
Moshe ,   Netanya   (09.22.11)
7. #4
Jeff ,   USA   (09.22.11)
And this is why you dont get a state
8. Those kids in the pictures
Alex ,   Brooklyn NY   (09.22.11)
must be in schools!!!!!!!! But then what will they learn there, the Fake History and Lies that their leaders are feeding them.... Long Live ISRAEL!!!!!
9. "supporting killers against the victims"
William ,   Israel   (09.22.11)
Unlike Carter, Obama is supporting the victims by demanding any Pally State must end the war and demands on Israel, and ensure Israel's security. He never deviated from that stance. The fact that "Palestinians" heard only the sentence "Palestinians deserve a State in 1967 borders..." and nothing else is their problem.
10. Notice every time Pallys have a large protest...
William ,   Israel   (09.22.11)
or altercation with the IDF, they pull their kids from school and send them into the streets? Just as sickening as Al-Shabab awarding weapons to kids, although same mentality.
11. #7
Palestinian   (09.22.11)
Save your advises to yourselves and mind your falling economy....
12. Palestinians need to understand that there
Chris.B ,   Australia   (09.22.11)
hasn't been real free American foreign policy since JFK and short work was made of him. Obama works for his masters.
13. We can all experience a sea change in the Arab Israeli....
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (09.22.11)
...conflict and a major break through if the PLO simply announces here and now that it accept in principle the very right of Israel to be, to exist as the independent nation-state of the Jewish people; and, that the PLO, at the end of negotiations and the signing of a peace treaty as the end of the conflict and the end of all future demands. Thus, one wonders, why does the PLO object, categorically, to taking this normative and simple step...??
14. #11
Maya ,   Chicago, IL   (09.22.11)
If Palestine only had an economy...then we would gladly take advice from you. Until then, the only advice you should give is how to cause total chaos and burn flags.
15. William # 10
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (09.22.11)
How right you are. It probably doesn't matter though because they don't seem capable of learning anything constructive. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
16. Obama has been saying for months that he would Veto
Jason ,   Atlanta, GA   (09.22.11)
Obama has been saying for months that he would use the US Veto in the Security Council if the Palestinian proposal did not come at the end of negotiating with Israel. Did the Palestinians expect that he had been saying that to get Israel to drop its guard?
17. # 7
Oleg ,   USA   (09.22.11)
Don't worry about our economy, we will find a way out, as always. Think about yours, but wait!!! you even do not have one. You live on our and other countries donations, doing nothing. It would be better for everybody to stop give you money. This will force you to work instead of begging for help. This, in turn, will create a peace, because you will think a lot before trying to destroy something you built on your own.
18. Ok, you want to riot, stop taking out MONEY. Simple?
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (09.22.11)
19. Palestinian mobs in great numbers
Moragh USA   (09.22.11)
rallying against the UN decision for "no arab state". Did anybody see a picture of the crowds.... nothing more than palestinian school-kids. What an absolute disgrace to think that mothers and fathers would allow their school children to hold such rallies. What is the world coming to... really?
20. Will he learn?
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (09.22.11)
Did Obama humiliate and insult the Arabs? No. Did he support Israel against them? No. All he said was that they must live up to their obligations. They must keep their word and agreements. In other words, the Arabs started rioting and cursing Obama because he asked them to behave civilized. Will Obama learn?
21. Common Ground
Mark ben Josuf ,   USA   (09.23.11)
Maybe there is a basis for negotiations. It would seem that now right wing Israelis and Palestinians and Hamas all have common ground. Is it possible they could agree on more?
22. palestinians have never liked the truth....
(09.23.11)
they want to terrorise, and they proved it by wanting to continue resistance instead of get a state, and without negotiations. The minute they hear the truth, as obama stated, all hell breaks loose. And they're trying to convince the world that they are not violent people, with violence...interesting!

salma, ,   palestine   (09.23.11)
We are proud of our children to uphold our values.

john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (09.23.11)
Yeah i agree-but they are only doing what their mother and father did before them.
25. Roman Empire has many faces, Israel has one.
Miron ,   USA   (09.23.11)
26. Unfinisheed business
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (09.23.11)
Back to basics That was land the Jordanian's conquered that didn't belong to them in the first place We merely liberated what belonged to us for the past 3800 years or so I've asked these questions before, how about answering them this time around ? Where was the Capital of your Ancient Palestine Located ? Name three of the rulers ? Where can I see some genuine Ancient Palestinian Coins ? How come neither Palestine nor Jerusalem are mentioned in the Koran if they're so important to you ? Just think you’ll be the first to answer the questions that nobody else has been able to I never forget, I would put an elephant to shame
27. America was never a friend
James   (09.23.11)
America is the reason there is no peace. They were never a fair broker--rather they collude with the Israelis to maintain the occupation. It is a mistake for the Palestinians to ever pin their hopes on America.
28. Hypocritical palestinian !
Mike ,   America   (09.23.11)
How can a Palestinian have the hypocrisy and idiocy to talk about America's failed economy ?!!! You have no economy whatsoever ! You cannot produce any technology, literature, agriculture, manufactured goods... nothing. In fact, you have the most bankrupt culture on the Earth. And you know this and have no shame in living entirely from handouts from the rest of the world... including America, whose failed economy is supporting your parasitic culture.
29. Cosign on that, #4
Cameron ,   USA   (09.23.11)
No wonder Sarah feels the need to step on you, Salma. Be a cold day in Hell before we ever back a losing horse like you in the ME race.
30. James no 28
(09.23.11)
Russia,China,Eu,never been fair brokers.They always bash the Jews & Israel.They have to understand that if they do not change and to be fair to both sides,there will never be peace.
