1. Honesty and Bravery
Jay Abouaf ,   Jaffa, Israel   (09.04.12)
Avigdor Lieberman is a brave, honest and intelligent man and politician. All should pay attention to his words.
2. This land is ours! Stop phony "peace process".
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.04.12)
FM Lieberman makes some good points. Israel is the only state, in human history, to beg her enemies to sign a "peace treaty". A "peace treaty" in which only Israel's enemies benefit! The whole thing is too idiotic for words. Stop the phony "peace process with Palestinians". This land is ours now and forever.
3. It has been Palestine since the Romans kicked the jew out in

the 2nd century.
4. lol, he cracks me up, he is a big part
David   (09.05.12)
why other countries and leaders don't want anything to do with Israe, not that Bibi or Barak are better...
5. #3: But the Jews have come back home
(09.05.12)
Israel, whether you like it or not!
6. to #3
Bluegrass Picker ,   Afula   (09.05.12)
...and it was Palestine until 1948. At that time, "Palestine" disappeared into the same dusty history book as Rome & Al Andalus & the Aztec Empire did. There are dozens of Hebrew kindergardens outside of Israel all over the world. Can you show me even one Latin-speaking kindergarden?
7. to number 3 and I guess based on
Barney ,   USA   (09.05.12)
that it has been Israel since the Jews kicked the arabs out. of course they weren't kicked out so much as encouraged to leave by their "brothers" who have kept them in refugee camps for 60 years. Long live Israel and the capital united Jerusalem!
8. #3
David ,   WPB,FL   (09.05.12)
Exactly. And since they had no legal right to steal Jewish land, Jews remained and are still the rightful owners of the land. That doesn't mean that Arabs, who have lived there for 1,800 years don't have rights also. But, it DOES mean that Arab claims that Jews have no place there are wrong.
9. #3 And the Romans are gone and the Jew is still here
Yaniv ,   Israel   (09.05.12)
Palestine or Israel--it's just semantics. But you should know that the name Palestine/Philistine originally means invader from the Hebrew root verb Palash. Secondly, those who call themselves Palestinians today have no kinship with Goliath and other Philistines, nor are they native to the land. Arabs are from Arabia. Period.
10. #3, it has been "Palestine" the region, not the nation
Jake ,   USA   (09.05.12)
11. Leftists pay attention to #3
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (09.05.12)
#3 does not talk about 1967, two-states, peace and harmony. He calls all of Israel occupied. #3 does not condemn "settlers", but "the jew" and if you know English you know what that means. Leftist, pay attention who is your ally and who agrees with you. You did nothing to help when the took the "settlers". You did nothing to help when they took the Haredim. When they came to take you, there was no one left to help you.
12. I see more than 24 hours after the event
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (09.05.12)
Nobody has been arrested for desecrating one of Christendoms holiest shrines. Words are cheap, israel either catches the culprits charges prosecutess and sentences as if it was a Palestinian burning a Synagogue, or stops moaning everytime there is an attack on a Jewish holy site around the world.
