1. Are they going to discuss the failure of intifadas...
William ,   Israel   (04.10.12)
and the need to try a compromising, peaceful solution with Israel, or are they going to all vote for another failed intifada saying this time Allah (and the ICC) are on their side? "Palestinians" are like a petri dish for the study of the human ego on logical decision making. It's amazing how screwed up they continue to be despite admitting to knowing the right path that will help them reach their goals of a State.
2. Big deal.
Gabe ,   Canada   (04.10.12)
Fayyadistan will be boycotted as well. Guess who will blink first ?
3. We are well aware
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (04.10.12)
That the majority of the world supports the genocide of Jews. It's time that the Arabs learn we don't care what the rest of the world supports. We are not going to die for their view points.
4. yes & amen
tiki ,   belgium   (04.10.12)
Whatever Fayed will say to this audience will be honoured with applause, for ALL the attendees are """palestinian strugglers""", so....what else did you expect, someone daring not to agree? He wouldn't make it alive to the airport.
5. The world also supports Jewish majority Israel
Sam ,   Canada   (04.10.12)
The world eagerly supports a Palestinian state and a Jewish state. The Palestinians want the Palestinian state without the Jewish one. Palestinians delude themselves into believing they have world support for their position whenever they hear support for a Palestinian state. They have no such thing. They are knocking their heads against the wall. They will get more and more Jewish settlers while they wait for Israel to be erased.
6. The "whole world," eh?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.10.12)
So what happened at the United Nations last September? The ersatz "Palestinians" were humiliated. Fayyad seems to have forgotten that, and he also seems not to have noticed that most of the world no longer really cares about the ersatz "Palestinians" and their never-ending whining.
7. Palestinian "resistance"
Sagi   (04.10.12)
has been very stubborn and persistent from day one. The only thing that they resist is peace.
8. #7 Sagi Yes the Pals have been very successful
Daniel ,   Tel Aviv   (04.10.12)
They have resisted any reasonable peace. They have resisted reality. They are still waiting for the people of Israel to be pushed into the Mediterranean and wiped off the map. This is what they were promised and they will continue to resist until this happens...They have succeeded in deluding themselves
9. Resistance to what, To Peace?
carlos ,   San Diego U.S.A.   (04.10.12)
Nonie Darwish books provide a peak at reality and all these absurdities of pals.
10. The world doesn't give a damn about Palestinians
Sidney ,   USA   (04.10.12)
Words are cheap and meaningless. So-called human rights organizations pick on Israel because taking on real human rights violators could cost them their lives. Muslim governments need Israel as an excuse for their own failures. Certain countries like Norway still suffer from the disease of anti-Semitism.
11. The Palestinians don't know ....
Spencer ,   Israel   (04.10.12)
what peaceful means. Their leaders are nothing more than terrorists dressed with a suit and tie.
12. let them create a new religious festival
zionist forever   (04.10.12)
How about they create a new religious festival called Love Israel Day to go with Nakba Day and Land Day. They do love their self made religious holidays. I would also love to see the leaders of Hamas & Hezbullah wearing T -Shirts saying. MAKE LOVE NOT WAR WITH ISRAEL Then taking all their weapons. melting them down and use the material to rebuild Gaza.
13. THIS HIDES THE PALI GOAL OF ISRAEL'S DESTRUCTION
stude ham   (04.10.12)
and it is so easy to fool the whole world... look at the destruction of libya and emerging religious tyranny in egypt. and the world's belief that getting rid of assad will improve the lives of the syrian people.
14. The world ignores them, they wish otherwise.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (04.10.12)
15. World thinks pals suck
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (04.10.12)
There will never be a pal state. Thank G-d.
16. know this fayed!
oded ,   the us of A   (04.10.12)
"resistence is all you know. even if israel disappears
17. A little bit of critical analysis
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (04.10.12)
Fayyad spoke of non-violent popular resistance yet at the same conference: "The conference paid tribute to Palestinians killed during anti-fence protests whose photos were displayed at the event." Those protests were NOT non-violent and those protesters were killed or injured while engaging in lethal violence. I can only surmise that when Fayyad speaks of non-violent popular resistance,he doesn't mean ONLY non-violent popular resistant but that in parallel with violence.He and his PA cronies will lead the non-violent protests and they'll keep well out of the way and keep their heads down so as not to get caught up in the others' violence. Basically,it's double talk. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
18. Let the cat out of the bag
sk ,   USA   (04.10.12)
When the world realizes how much land and oil the Arabs have (over 99.9% of ME land, 16% of world oil), and how tiny Israel is, with no oil, then the tables will be turned. The world simply has to be told the above truths, and told that so called Palestinians are 100% Arab. The picture should clearly show the BIG ARAB BULLY vs. Tiny (but strong) Israel.
19. As long as you behave you can stay....
1 state solution ,   Israel   (04.10.12)
anyone who revolts or causes terror gets deported immediately
20. Another little gem ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.10.12)
"The three-day gathering is being attended by hundreds of Palestinians, foreign activists, Palestinian diplomats and senior officials." 1. Only by those ersatz "Palestinians" allowed through checkpoints. 2. Foreign "activists" will be denied entry into Israel. Sovereign states -- of which Israel is one -- have the right to exercise complete control over who is or is not granted entry into the State. 3. "Palestinian" diplomats? Only nation-states can accredit diplomats. Sorry, but the rag-tag bunch of terrorists that constitute the ersatz "Palestinian" "diplomats" and "senior officials" are neither diplomats nor officials. They are terrorists.
21. #18
michael ,   new york   (04.11.12)
Israel's biggest problem is its HORRIBLE PR. they have none. they don't make a case for the country, and it's sinful how complacent Israelis are about their righteousness. Shout it from the rooftops and release the info to all the press all over the world.... what are you waiting for Israel? Damn, I would like to knock those Israeli leaders over the head and knock some sense into them.
22. "Non-violence", in Arabic, includes of course the knifing...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.11.12)
...and axing of civilians and law enforcers, as long as they are Jews; the lobbing of rocks and fire bombs at motorists and passerby Jews. And, this is what the "moderate" Fayyad advocates..., instead of suggesting to his people to live by the written and signed agreements that are to govern our the relationships between Arab and Jew, until a Final Status Agreement is reached and signed. And, since is this how they treat their signed agreements, why should we trust them in the future...??!!
23. A little perspective:
(04.11.12)
After WW1 Arabs came from all over -- you can tell by their names -- to what had been the Ottoman empire in this region but was pretty much empty. Jews came as well, both before and after. The Jews set about building, the Arabs set about doing their best to destroy what the Jews had built. You don't move away from your home and familiar surroundings unless you have vision, courage and initiative, but instead of using their potential for progress and improvement, the Arabs who came warped it and look at them now. What have the Sunni Arabs who call themselves Palestinians created for themselves? Absolutely nothing. They have no state, although they were repeatedly offered one, they have no independent economy, they have no tourism I can think of unless you count the anti-Israel fanatics who show up every now and then, they have no native culture, no literature beyond the Hamas charter, no art beyond posters of dead terrorists, nothing at all, nothing beyond hatred and jealousy and the determination to live in the 8th century. No initiative beyond figuring out new ways to kill Jews, no vision beyond the destruction of Israel, no courage to step up and say "let's stop this nonsense." And no shame at all. I cannot think of one thing the so-called Palestinians have contributed to the betterment of the world. Do they use computers? Microsoft would be nowhere with Israel. Do they use Waze? If they don't like Israel they and the more than a million people who use it should delete it from their phones, because it is an Israeli invention. Do they like modern medicine? Then they should definitely stop inoculating their children against polio, since both Salk and Sabin were Jewish. The list goes on and on, the point is that the only thing uniting the Palestinians is their desire to kill Jews and take over the land because someone along the way decided that all land that was once Muslim has to remain Muslim. Put it into perspective, and it becomes ridiculous, it is bread and circuses without the bread. What is amazing is that people with such an enormous inferiority complex and a religion with such an enormous inferiority complex, have managed to impose their will on the rest of the world, and the world isn't going to wake up until it is far too late.
24. The pals are doomed
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (04.11.12)
they've done everything in their power to thwart Israel. The result? pals continued failures. There will never be a pal state.

Butch ,   USA   (04.11.12)
