31. To Abed [#17] - Thank you from the author
Dan Calic   (04.03.12)
While the majority of Israeli Arabs agree with you in silence, it takes courage to publically speak up and confirm the truth for all to see. It is my hope you will not suffer for sharing the truth. I commend you for posting such honesty.
32. #6 - the entire "Palestinian" narrative is a PR stunt
William ,   Israel   (04.03.12)
33. Lazy, lied to public opinion. Answer: SECURE BIG ISRAEL!!
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (04.03.12)
34. Uncle Sam at #17
Mattie ,   London, UK   (03.04.13)
I believe the author referred to you as 'hostile' and 'murderous' at the beginning of his piece.
35. Incorrect percentage?
Neal ,   Minneapolis USA   (03.05.13)
In an otherwise well-argued piece, the percentage of Britain's Palestine Mandate lopped off to create a kingdom for Britain's World War I ally Abdullah was incorrect. My references say 78.1 percent -- the territory east of the Jordan River -- was cut off to create Transjordan. At the time the "trans" part meant across the Jordan. Jordan's annexation of Judea and Samaria -- which would have become a major portion of a Palestinian Arab state had the Arabs not refused it -- was recognized only by Britain and Pakistan.
36. Apartheid?
John ,   Herzlia   (03.05.13)
So how is it called when Moshe Feiglin is refused to enter the mosque on Har Habayit because "it is for muslims only"?
37. Apartheid or not!!
Jackie Sutton ,   Doha Qatar   (07.26.13)
This article goes into great depths of the history!!! There have been bad things on both sides I will agree. However living in the past will not bring peace and continuing to treat the Palestinians as less than human is unethical and also will only entrench and polarize opinions and actions. I would like to similarize the situation with Britain and Ireland especially Northern Ireland. While the British Government treated the Irish as less than them, unwilling to allow equal representation and dialogue the violence and bombings continued. Only when the Government started dialogue on equal terms was peace possible. I am anything but illiterate and words always become to mean what people use them for in popular culture and apartheid isn't defined by how the SA state was developed but what inhumane things were done. This is exactly what the world sees in Israel
38. Apartheid
Jackie Sutton ,   Doha Qatar   (07.26.13)
Banning entry is not apartheid it is the act of degradation and humiliation that is what the world sees behind the segregation in Israel
