31. #22 - Elections weren't annulled.
William ,   Israel   (09.23.11)
Who annulled them, Mark? Israel? Israel didn't have that right to annul them. Hamas was rightly elected but they lost that mandate when they led a bloody coup. That's per PLO Election Law, not anything to do with the US or Israel. Now, the US and Israel did say they would not deal with the new hamas govt because they are terrorists. That's not against the law nor is it an annulment of an election. Otherwise, wouldn't that put the pressure on your ilk to STOP BDS and any boycotts against Israel's rightly elected democratic govt? Tax revenues were never seized by Israel until recently and that was released shortly thereafter. If you can prove otherwise, please do so with facts. Conjecture only works in Ramallah square. PA Legislative Council jailed. By whom? Probably Hamas but neither Israel nor the US had anything to do with it. It's called Arab politics. One day you're on top, the next day your cousin hires an assassin to kill you. Personally, if Hamas was thrown out of Gaza, and the PA/PLO abolished, it would be much easier to make peace, and "Palestinians" themselves know it.
32. #21 - wait. So not "help you" but "evacuate you"
William ,   Israel   (09.23.11)
So this Leftist twit also believes that Jews shouldn't be in their own homeland? We tried to work with Arabs but we are not willing to sacrifice ourselves so some myopic pissant in SF feels better about himself.
33. #23 - everyone who doesn't agree 100% with Pallys...
William ,   Israel   (09.23.11)
loses influence with them. It doesn't matter. It's time to stand up for truth and justice and tell these babies that enough is enough. The land will be split, Israel will not receive foreign hostiles, Jerusalem will be shared and Israel's security will be guaranteed. This is the end of the war. NO MORE DEMANDS! The West has not deviated from this call no matter what you try to believe. If your expectations are hurt, that's your fault.
34. NONE OF THIS MATTERS
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (09.23.11)
If you hate Israel and Jews,you hate Israel and Jews and that's all that there is to it. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
35. #26 - You mean the guy who's poking the US, EU, NATO eye?
William ,   Israel   (09.23.11)
He is losing credibility and has no real ability to make good on his threats. But this isn't the first time your people backed a loser because it matched your racist genocidal goals.
36.  ANTISEMETISM behind the LOVEFEST
Oren ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (09.23.11)
The Europeans, the UN , the Arabs, the MOslems show support for a Palestinian state because they know it will destroy Israel. Another Holocast for the Jews. The old tradition of irrational Hatred to Jews is the reason for the lovefest. Hatred to Israel disguised for hatred to Jews but with Self important
37. #26; Turkey using Palestinians to control ME
Ari ,   Miami, Florida   (09.23.11)
To be proud of a disgusting speech by the Turkish PM wish to be Napoleon-, will not help your people. He is using you to compete against Iran to control the ME. The ISRAELI are the ones who build your universities and schools and the electric and water systems. Otheriwse you will still stay in the SEWARDS literary.
38. To: No. 26
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.23.11)
Actually, chica, it's raining on your parade today. Big time. Shut up. Everyone is so sick to death of you and your violent tendencies. Perhaps if you weren't all married to your uncles and first cousins, there might be room to negotiate, but seeing as you are all seriously genetically compromised, you can forget it. Go sit and babble in a corner. Or -- better yet -- start packing. You're soon going to be someone else's problem. We are so sick to death of your inbred, violent lot. By the way -- Erdogan is even less important than Abbas. Deal with it, chica.
39. To: No. 22
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.23.11)
Why don't you just ask Abbas to sell his private Gulfstream jet? Better still, tack on the sale of his homes in Monte Carlo and London. Perhaps he might be willing to liquidate his offshore bank accounts. Then, the ersatz "Palestinians" will have plenty of money. Just a thought. That's how the ersatz "Palestinian" leadership rolls. All about the "me." What was that you were saying about a "plan?" Do you seriously believe that the ersatz "Palestinian" leadership HAS a plan other than that which will enrich them? Are you always this delusional?
40. To: Ari at No. 37
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.23.11)
I do not disagree, but I feel it important to point out that Erdogan's strings are being yanked in Teheran.
41. To: William at No. 33
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.23.11)
Jerusalem will be shared? Oh, I don't think so, honey. Pretty sure the land isn't going to be split, either.
42. Great Article
Dina ,   Lubbock USA   (09.23.11)
I'm only one of millions of Americans who love Israel and pray daily for your peace and G-ds protection.
43. Marshall Newcity #4 try some facts
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (09.23.11)
The US gives those terrorists over $1 billion a year of American taxpayers money. The stated goal of the Arabs is the ethnic cleansing of the land they claim is "Palestine". The land includes everything west of the Jordan River. They claim that they have a international right to murder Jews. These are things that they have stated daily since they because their claims on Judea, Samaria, Gaza and Jerusalem in 1968.
44. palestinians rage
john kennedy ebho ,   italy   (09.24.11)
well the palestinians ave taken it too far this time it should be clear that any plan to cause problem or not to recognise isreal is a war declearation to all christians,who see isreal as God anionted.pls Abbas a word is a enough for the wise.
45. misses the point
(09.25.11)
nobody expects or demands that Palestine ''contribute to the world'' before being allowed to exist. The world favors a Palestinian state out of consideration of the rights of Palestinians living in the West Bank.
46. #33 Mark ben Josuf - Enjoy your ulcer
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (09.25.11)
Obama has the VETO, which will kill your hopes for a Palestinian State U.S. pay 22% of of UN's budget, without America's contribution, the UN will vanish to join your Palestinian State, which wont' be getting American money either
47. good article
miron ,   Israel,Canada   (09.25.11)
But I wonder if the writer also published it in the US press or any other International newspaper. We appreciate the article content which is well known in Israel. We would like those articles wide spread in all foreign newspapers and also translated in other major languages.
48. #27
Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (09.25.11)
Absolutely correct. to take it further - Jordan (Trans-Jordan as it was first called) was created by the British out of the whole of Eastern Palestine (until then still recognized internationally - San Remo Treaty 1922 - as a Jewish homeland) with some additional land taken from Iraq (Mesopotamia) and Syria. This was done with the idea of crating a Jew-free country for the Palestinian Arabs. The rest of Palestine - from the Jordan river to the Mediterranean - was the Jewish homeland until the British left Palestine in 1948 and the surrounding Arab nations tried to wipe out the Jews here.
49. good article!
oded ,   usa   (09.25.11)
even the notion of a "palestinian state' should send shiver down any self- respected historian's spine. it is the greatest 20/21 centuries scam of hisotircal proportions. half- truth and lies, repeated long enough to become 'reality". this is an unsolvable conflict as long as one side_the arabs- rejects vehemntly the other side-israel- right to exsit . this should wake all the libtards lefties, bleeding hearts machsom betselem and other despicable" organizations" who care more for the enemy then for their own.
