1. Jordan is the 2-state - Muslims are not Palstinians.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (10.18.12)
2. 2 state solution
jill0122 ,   Lethbridge, Canada   (10.18.12)
Abbas (palestinians) refuse to acknowledge Israel as a Country. The children are taught that Jews are responsible for ALL evil, and their highest desire is to die killing a Jew. 80% of the Land set aside for Israel in 1922 was taken away in 1948 to create Jordan FOR THE PALESTINIANS! Let Jordan take them in, shouldn't be up to Israel ever again.
3. How can you destroy something that dosen't exist?
Kerwood Derby ,   Frostbite Falls   (10.18.12)
Abu Mazen/Abbas knows something about destruction. This Moscow State Aumni who destroyed your lives before and after his glory called the Munich Massacre?
4. What 2 state solution?
Sam ,   Canada   (10.18.12)
The Palestinians reject living next to a Jewish Israel so what 2 state solution are they talking about? For Palestinians, a 2 state solution is just a propaganda gimmick for squeezing concessions out of naive Jews and a naive West. Why doesn't the press ask Abbas what he means by a 2 state solution? Why does the press give Abbas a free ride?
5. Abbas' "Unpleasant Situations"
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (10.18.12)
This land is OUR land- not his, and we need to make it clear that anything "unpleasant" for us will be unpleasant one-hundred fold for them.
6. BiBi avoids bridgehead to endanger Israel
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (10.18.12)
7. Secure Peace
Zivron   (10.18.12)
The Jews can Not have peace with Holocaust Deniers like the Islamic brotherhood salafist and Ba'ath torturer ears but with humanitarian Islam that grants Jews equality in eretz yisroel we ought make peace.Tribalism and psychopathy in human nature is the problem on both sides and the demographic catastrophe of the Shoah of the Jews.The naqkba as they called left the Arab Palestinan population still thriving at ten million and security compensation demands difficult adjustments .
8. "Lieberman wants to terminate me"
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (10.18.12)
And they say Lieberman is just a dumb 'bouncer' from Moldova....
9. How many times has Abbas refused to talk with Israel
big bad Jew ,   United States   (10.18.12)
without preconditions of "Ending all settlement activities beforehand"? ( the same Saudi line that obama, clinton, recite by heart) The reason there is no peace are the violent pals who choose violent leaders who swear to remove all Jews from Israel and to rename it palestine. Now, they are in two camps without hope of any 'settlement' on their behalf. Good, Israel should claim and name ALL of Israel starting with the Capitol being ALL of Jerusalem. Most likely will become a reality after ROMNEY is elected. obama's a quasi muslim .
10. Abbas, bring back the
Dov ben David ,   Eilat, Israel   (10.18.12)
old peace agreement that Arafat turned down and Israel said yes to..
11. Abbas' 2 State Solution: Palestine and Jordan!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (10.18.12)
No Israel, DEFINITELY NO JEWS - he said so. Netanyahu knows very well that a 2 State Solution is imperative because already the Arab population of Greater Israel or Israel Hashleima is greater than Jewish/Zionist population and we all know what that means in a democracy! The only solution is to get the Palestinians out of Israel, give them their State and close the border. Then make it a criminal offense for Israelis to employ Palestinians and let Abbas provide ALL the necessary services, like medical and social security, for his people. Abbas says he is a "Partner for Peace". Mahmoud Abbas, partners do not call for boycotts against the country that supports you and employs thousands of your people! A partner does not send terrorists to kill Israelis and cut the throats of little children while they were sleeping. You can fool the Antisemitic EU Foriegn Minister, the Leftists in Europe and the USA and Jews hating Jews but you cannot alter the fact the you are a terrorist and you were responsible for terror attacks against Israelis and the murder of children and teachers in Ma'alot! That is what you are and you cannot change history. Remember, if you friend, the Lunatic in Iran, does attack Israel, his rockets will fail on Ramallah, Jenin, Nablus (Schem), Tulkarem and the Muslim Holy sites in Jerusalem!
12. Abbas, Arafat only want a 1 state solution - no Israel
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (10.18.12)
There's no way anyone can listen to what the PA is saying - denying the existence of King Solomon's Temple & demanding to let millions of Arabs into Israel - the majority of whom never set foot in Israel, and believe that Abbas is serious about peace.
13. #4, so true!
Israeli   (10.18.12)
And, Abbas: it is YOU Palestinians who have destroyed any 2 state solution! Get a clue, dude! You CANNOT continually be divided amongst yourselves, use terror, say ONE THING at the negociating table and then ANOTHER thing in the Arabic press! Abbas: you are a TOTAL hypocrite!
14. Negotiations should continue immediatly
A ,   Belgium   (10.18.12)
after Abbas stands in front of the Knesset and declares for all the world to hear..."we accept the right of the State of Israel to exist as the Jewish state from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea". Until he works up the courage to do that (he is too cowardly), Abbas can continue his whining and complaining and finger pointing (and begging for money, of course) while Israel and the world continue on without him and the "palestinians."
15. If he really cared talks would not have ended 6 years ago
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NY   (10.18.12)
Abbas does not understand 2 basic truths: 1- Unsigned promises from a deposed government are not still on the table, otherwise the government would still be in power. 2 - By refusing to negotiate, even during the building freeze, killed his creditability for negotiations.
16. Reality: 1) Mr. Abbas rejected a peace offer handed over to
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (10.18.12)
him in 2008 by Mr. Olmert. 2) Mr. Abbas has refused to return to the negotiating table since, where Israel has been sitting since 2009 to date, eager to talk peace. 3) It has been Mr. Abbas who has refused, categorically, to accept Israel's right to be, to exist as the sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people; and, has refused to accept a peace treat as the end of the conflict and the end of all future demands.
17. ISRAEL WILL REGRET
adam adam ,   planet earth   (10.18.12)
ABBAS IS THE RIGHT PERSON TO DO PEACE WITH OTHERWISE ISRAEL WILL REGRET FOR LOSING THE OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE NO ONE KNOWS WHO WILL COME AFTER ABBAS RESIGN .....EVEN THE ISRAELI POLITICIANS KNOW THAT ABBAS IS THE BEST FOR PALESTINE AND THE BEST FOR ISRAEL SECURITY
18. Good!!!
Gill ,   Tel aviv   (10.18.12)
We don't want a 2 state solution!
19. @ 8 Liberman is just a dumb bouncer from Moldivia
Allen ,   NY USA   (10.18.12)
Kill or remove Abbas and the Pals won't go 'oh, right, we give up, take all our land, we'll just move into Jordan'. No. They will replace Abbas with someone either more cunning (who will stage none violent protests, with US Flags and balloons and hearts blocking all the settlement roads - let the IDF shoot them infrom of the world media and see what happens. Or some one more violent who fights like the syrian rebels and turns the West Bank, Jerusalem & the Settlements into something like Syria. Make peace with the moderate Abbas while you still have the chance!
20. Great ! For that alone Bibi should get all
DT ,   TA Israel   (10.18.12)
Israels votes even the delusional Left as Abbas never ever has intended peace with israel and has said so
21. Land for land, people for people and peace for peace.
dapperdanman ,   Karlovy Vary, CZ   (10.18.12)
... we will not agree to a one state for two people's solution," Abbas said. Well, Mahmoud, and the Israelis are not going to agree to the four states (Jordan, Gaza, Palestine and Israel - although temporarily for Jews and Arabs) for one people (Arabs) solution. Because this is what you are really working on, isn't it, Mahmoud? The Oslo-naivete is gone, Mahmoud, the Israeli left has died under the years of continuous rocket barrage from Gaza, the world's years-long silence over it and the instantaneous and worldwide outcry the moment Israel decided to defend herself. So no, Mahmoud, negotiations shouldn't continue at the point, where you killed them. They should be rerun on equitable principles, i.e. land for land, people for people and peace for peace. So put your threats rolled up where they belong to, because you can't even negotiate as fast as the Arab spring turns into an Arab's sling, and tell me instead, Mahmoud, did you ever, even for a second, consider the possibility, that peace is not only something you can offer in the negotiations, but also something that can be offered to you?
22. $200,000 per "Palestinian" family to leave forever.
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.18.12)
The solution is very simple. Pay "Palestinian" poseurs to leave our land forever. For Israel, it's a one time investment with permanent returns.
23. Abbas never wanted a 2 state solution... Look at the PA
Reality check ,   Israel   (10.18.12)
version of the map of "Palestine". Do you see 2 states?
24. Allen #19
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (10.18.12)
There is no way to make peace with people who don't want peace and whose only wish is to see Israel destroyed. They don't want peace with Jews any more than Hitler did.
25. Exactly WHY Israel must NEVER give J&S to Arabs.......
Crystal clear ,   to everyone   (10.18.12)
Imagine the West Bank full of terrorists just like Gaza. Israel must annex all of J&S. And the IDF must provide security everywhere. No more hate TV. No more schoolbooks with lies about history. No more squares being named after terrorists... Coexhistance training starts tomorrow. This is the only way to have some resemblance of stability and peace.
26. Mr. Abbas better share with us a single concession he has...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (10.18.12)
...ever made to resolving the local dimension of the Arab Israeli conflict, one. Having searched the entire history of this violent conflict that commenced in April 1920 and is yet to cease, one can't find a single illustration with which to demonstrate good will on the part of the Muslim-Arabs, not one during the nearly 100 years. A non-tangible but significant concession would be an acceptance of Israel's RIGHT to be, to exist as the sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people; that other state next door to a "Palestinian" state. But, the leadership of the PLO, headed by Abbas, has repeatedly and categorically rejected even this simple "concession". The only person who still believe this liar is Mr. Obama, it appears.
27. 2 States, 2 people, 2 personalities
NIgel ,   London   (10.18.12)
The reasonable Mr Abbas needs to meet his doppelgänger, the hate mongering, holocaust denying, Israel bating Mt Abu Mazen. Why is it that he speaks of wanting peace to one audience while using every possible opportunity to spew hateful rhetoric to his Arab audience ? It is time Israel says this is what there is and that is it. In a way I feel sorry for the Palestinian population caught between a vile extremist regime of hate in Hamasstan and a two faced lying hypocrite who has missed every possible opportunity to make their situation better. Time for him to 1. say he accepts Israel as a Jewish state 2. Acknowledge that Palestinian refugees ( can you be a refugee after 62 years ?). will be able to settle in Palestine and not Israel 3. Acknowledge that there has been suffering on both sides 4. Acknowledge that peace and prosperity can only come when he stops inciting distrust and allowing institutions to constantly demonise Israel. It is time this is settled for everyone's sake but will never be while a forked tongued leader incites so much hatred and continues to deny the past 65 years of wasted opportunities by him and those who have come before.
28. AABASS HAS STATED "NO JEWS ALLOWED"
ADAM BALM ,   NYC,NY USA   (10.18.12)
THIS GAS BAG ABBASS, has stated, and is their stated policy, "NO JEWS ALLOWED IN NEW PAL STATE...period" What more ABBass BS do you need to open your closed mind, ears and eyes? wake up!
29. gimme gimme gimme
zionist forever   (10.18.12)
He has spent the past three years refusing to talk despite the fact that Obama has been doing everything he can to push Bibi into making concessions. Even when he got his 10 month building freeze he refused to talk until the final month talking not a lot and when the 10 months came to an end he came out of it smelling of roses because it failed as a result of settlement building. The recession with donors not being as generous as they once were and the fact that Abbas is being so uncooperative has led to the economic situation He plans to go to the UN but he is telling us if Bibi won't talk it will the two state solution but if he does go to the UN then that really will mean an end to the two state idea because the UN will be dictating the solution before we have even got to the negotiting table which of course Israel will not accept. Result is Israel will just tell the UN to go to hell and Abbas will whine about Israel not upholding the UN resolution and the facts on the ground will probably get worse when Congress starts voting to cut funds to the PA for this snub to America & attitude to peace making. President Hussain Obama if you win the election let this first term be a lesson to you and that is whilst Muslim outreach might make you feel better if you want results you have to be cruel to be kind and don' force one side to talk but not the other.
30. "Big" Israel ("Palestinians" to "Jordan") IS the COMPROMISE!
