31. to 18 even the most orthodox Jews
Barney ,   USA   (12.23.11)
do not stone their women, have honor killings, force them to marry old men at a very young age. It may be a society based on a man has his place and a woman hers but the woman is honored.
32. #23:Yeah, but in the meantime we'll have fun-fun -fun-fun..!
tom ,   tel aviv   (12.23.11)
33. #18 Salim
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (12.24.11)
We don't force women to become religious and cover up. But you sure do and you punish if they don't. We don't force our religion down others's throat either. We don't let religion dictate our government, but you do. Please keep writing. You will learn a lot on this site.

Iranian Jew ,   LA   (12.24.11)
Only 125k!!! I say at least 300k. I just hope the army in Egypt does not give up the power. Now, I see why giving up Sinai was a foolish idea. We gained nothing but a useless paper that is called peace treaty.
35. JESUSALEN
cristian ,   JESUSALEN   (12.23.11)
the real true spiritual history:jews do not believe in jesus as the messiah and muslims do not believe in jesus as the messiah,the question is who are fighting up to the death in the holy land for more than 60 years bringing pain,suffering and destruction? the answer isjews and muslims,the unbelievers of jesus as the messiah
36. to #18: stop spouting your usual rubbish
tom ,   toronto, canada   (12.24.11)
female genital mutilation is practiced by moslems and no one else.
37. #35. Like asking the wind to stop blowing.
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.24.11)
#35. Your intentions are the best. However, asking "Palestinians" to stop spouting hateful rubbish is like asking the wind to stop blowing. Fictional Palestine IS hateful rubbish. It never existed and never will. It is simply an excuse intended to justify the destruction of Israel.
38. 9
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (12.25.11)
Do they have obesity in Paradise too?
39. 18
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (12.25.11)
You will learn a lot by the answers you will receive to your post.So you are an expert on "Of all religions"?You certainly are blind to your own.

J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (12.25.11)

44. to 34
(12.25.11)
even you sign the paper to be married without force on you and with the full of your happiness and when it would be usless you could tore it now the peace paper was not signed with full wishes without force and without principles and sorry -with full peace -
45. Benevolent Tradition
zivron   (12.25.11)
Islam has alot of meaning for the arab peoples and we can accept it as we accept our own traditions . As long as the islamists keep the truce and dont strive to alter the Security Balance Fifteen million jews against one and a half billion islamists there will be quiet and progress . But if they become arrogant and megolomaniacal and murderous utter catastrophe looms for the Nation of Islam.
46. @#44
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (12.25.11)
First off, I should ask you to at least put an identity to your opinion. Who would answer a date? Arab or Muslim countries have no political security within them. Given up land deos not bring security to Israel. The extreme elements are just too irrational to abide by the treaty. We don't have time to wait for Arabs to come to their senses becuase they just won't.
47. #40
Iranian Jew ,   La   (12.25.11)
U certainly showed us freedom when you attacked our embassy in Cairo. That is not freedom. That is chaos which you seem to preferably enjoy the most.
48. A darker middle east
Sam M ,   UK   (12.25.11)
We all know what the fate of opponents of islamo-facists regimes will be when they experience the nightmare of living under radical islam. Islamists exploit the democratic process hiding behind liberals biding their time and when they gain power oppress minorities and deny basic human rights to all. Radical islam is like an evil plague sweeping the world....masquerading as a 'religion of peace' with complete contempt for all non-muslims. Thus far over 10,000 terrorist attacks worldwide at the hands of these nutters a number rising by the day...... Just this morning mass casualties from the bombing of church in Nigeria and a terrorist attack in afghanistan. No prizes for guessing who carried these attacks out!
49. No more elections needed by Arab world
Nora Tel Aviv   (12.25.11)
Once the extremist fundamentaists are elected, there will be no more elections in the Arab world. Not in 4 years and not even in 44 years. The Shah of iran was a dictator. He was replaced twice. Look what has happened to Iran today.
50. BIG ISRAEL only way to save Islam from Islamists.
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (12.25.11)
51. to 46
44   (12.25.11)
but if you should answer a date it would differ if it is in past or present or in the future ..do you think that take land will give security to any one from both sides .........you can feel your senses may control your senses but not mine iam suad from jerusalem or tahiyya from aswan or ,,,,,, when i write it is becouse i want to write but when i read it is becouse you write .. god bless you and bless iran and the jews in evry place
52. @ #51
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (12.26.11)
Our opinions are based on our experiences and who we are. I asked you to put an identity to your post so we all know the reason you are posting. It’s a historical fact that the land was taken from Jews to begin within early Ottoman Empire. Are you only interested in the land that was taken from the Muslims by the Jews? If so then you should not even write on this post because that’s what we all feel. We have over 3,000 years of history there, and it was taken away from us by Muslims and Romans. Arabs are more than welcome to live in Israel id they abide by the law of the land. Arabs are incited not to live with Jews by other Arabs or Muslims. This conflict would have been finished if the ones involved in it cared enough to finish it. Those would be Jordan (real homeland of Palestinians and Egypt). Palestine was created to fight Israel after 1967 war when Arabs realized that they could not defeat Israel. You can debate this all along, but that is the real truth. Stop supporting the war and find a real solution that is peaceful to Israel. Frankly we don’t believe anymore that Muslims can agree to live with Jews anymore. God Bless you too whoever you maybe!!!
