1. "Upgraded observer status?"
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.09.11)
Oh, no, no, no -- I don't think so. Their Plan B runs something along the lines of finding a really good realtor in Amman or Gaza City. In attempting to do an end-run around serious negotiations, the ersatz "Palestinians" unilaterally abrogated the Oslo accords. They were warned not to do this. They did it anyway. They thought they would be swept in on the shoulders of cheering nations. Didn't happen that way, did it? Oops. Not Israel's fault, though, is it? No Oslo accords, no dealing with terrorists, especially the terrorists that run the PA. They're going, going, gone. We are going to annex to Judea and Samaria and repatriate all its Jordanian citizens to Jordan. Just another in a seven-decade jeremiad of incredibly bad decisions made by the ersatz "Palestinians." That's not Israel's fault, either, is it? No, it isn't. The ersatz "Palestinians" have only themselves to blame, and it is high time they started taking responsibility for decades of extraordinarily poor choices. Not to mention living the consequences therefor.
2. Bye bye fictional Palestine. The nightmare is ending.
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.09.11)
To paraphrase a well known pop song from the 1960s. "Sha na na na. Na na na na. Hey hey hey. Goodbye fictional Palestine". You know fictional Palestine is really in trouble when it can't even win the U.N. : which was it's rubber stamp for decades. The scaremongering of the Israeli left is finished too. Fictional Palestine is done like dinner. If it was a horse; it would be shot. It if was a bulding; it would be condemned. The nightmare is ending.
3. Sisyphus, thy name is Palestine
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (11.09.11)
One can only look at the Palestinians and wonder how they ever decided to adopt their Sisyphean culture. As Sisyphus was punished and condemned to an eternity of endless frustration, so are the Palestinians. However, unlike the Greek gods, the Pallies have no other enemies but themselves. And they're so good at pulling the wool over their own eyes...
4. THE PA WILL USE ITS UNESCO MEMBERSHIP TO STEAL JEWISH LANDS
stude ham   (11.09.11)
almost anything in that region of the world can be made into a unesco heritage site by the pa... which would remove the area involved from israel's reach. israel's only reaction to this nefarious treachery is to build on as much land as possible and to settle on as much territory as possible and to do all this as quickly as possible. the abbas pa never was any kind of negotiating party to any kind of peace with israel. BUILD ISRAEL BUILD!
5. Back to celebrating return of the KILLERS.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.09.11)
6. PALESTINIAN PEOPLE
SJOERD RUURD VDV ,   MULTIVERSE   (11.09.11)
IF THE PALESTINIAN EFFORT WILL FAIL THEN THE US GOVERNMENT/ ''ISRAELI'' LEADERS-SHIP WILL BE TO BLAME/RESPONSIBLE. THE ENTIRE MANKIND KNOWS THAT.
7. #6
Linichka ,   Gdynia, Poland   (11.10.11)
If so, "Multiverse", then we Israelis must congratulate ourselves in advance! We are tired of their ugly, murderous antics and attempts to gain legitimacy.
8. What negotiations?
L. King ,   Canada   (11.10.11)
9. What negotiations?
L. King ,   Canada   (11.10.11)
"While a UN vote would not change the situation on the ground, the Palestinians believe a strong international endorsement would boost their position in negotiations." And what negotiations would these be?
10. Time for one damn big 'thank you' to the US, kids
Cameron ,   USA   (11.10.11)
11. palestine=jordan
(11.10.11)
that should be the only objective at the UN
12. Israel has always been blamed!
Moragh   (11.10.11)
In the eyes of an arab there is no country called Israel. These people should buy an easy to understand Bible, and then start questioning Abraham and Sarah, but especially Abraham who couldn't keep "it" where it belonged, and it didn't belong to Hagar!
13. # 10 A big thank you - FOR WHAT?
Cameron   (11.10.11)
What do you want thanks for, Cameron?
14. #6 Sjoerd - Did you perform a poll?
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (11.10.11)
of "The entire mankind", if so, I would like to see it
15. TO NR 14.
SJOERD RUURD VDV ,   MULTIVERSE   (11.10.11)
WE ALL KNOW THAT FACT ALREADY TO SAY IT IN THAT WAY AS A MATTER OF SPEAKING GRADUALLY.
16. #15 SJOERD
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (11.11.11)
You represent only yourself, not the world, so stop pretending that you're the spokesman
