Edithann ,   USA   (11.14.12)
Who said Palestinians wanted a state? They can't get along with each other any more then you Israeli's can...They just want their old lives back... The only thing that keeps you on their land is 'our arms, our money and our clout.. They're not in competition with you ..but you are obsessed with killing them to take the last bit of anything they have.. You've sinned big time and your atonement will be big time too....... Can you say ICC? TATA
32. #12 Go live for a while in sderot!
daniel ,   IL   (11.14.12)
easy speaking for both left and right-wing supporters outside of IL. You do not send your kids to the army, you do not get hurt by the muslim terror against us!
33. Also - We Jews Need The Land
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (11.14.12)
The current situation is that most Jews in Israel are cramped in the greater Tel Aviv area. Too many in too small an area. As we grow, we need more land to expand and develop into. Judea and Shomron are ideal places for Jewish settlement and, as time goes on, will be fitting places of residence for the millions of additional Jews we will have to accomodate in our homeland. Any concession to Arab permenancy here will only result in confounding free and comfortable Jewish living here and hamper our growth. Granting the Arabs an official state on these lands would be an irreversible error which future generations will deeply bemoan and will come to hate us for having enabled this tragedy.

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.14.12)
Israel has always been vastly outnumbered. Since when does quantity outpace quality? The stinking rabble that surrounds us cannot even keep from killing each other. "Attack Israel" is no loonger the rallying cry it once was -- six failed wars appear to have had an impact -- and even if it did, Israel is a formidable nuclear power. To paraphrase your countryman, we have no intention of going gently into that good night. We will take as many of you with us as we can, and we will render what is left uninhabitable for the next one hundred thousand years. Make no mistake about that. The Jewish people have a long score to settle with the world. Payback can be a bitch, dear.
35. To: No. 19
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.14.12)
Seven decades of unrelenting terror visited against Jews both in Israel and in the Diaspora. Suicide bombings. Two intifadas. Oh, yes, that's "peace seeking" -- ersatz "Palestinian" style. You aren't fooling anyone. Your so-called "leadership" has deluded you at every step, starting well before 1947. But Israel is not responsible for ersatz "Palestinian" stupidity, and we see no reason to accommodate your bad mistakes. Like everyone else, you will have to live with the consequences of seven decades of unremitting stupidity. Too bad for you.

In another language it was called LEBENSRAUM
37. Clarivident article
Merca ,   Barcelona.SPAIN   (11.14.12)
In a similar way,we in Spain ,get many people searching for better conditions as well as in the States.But in Israel case it has to add to this phenomenon the influx of jihadists..etc.The western help to palestinians won't last in eternum.Then,Israel,will be at the forefront of the trench.

Jesus Christ Sarah ! you sound like a Science Fiction Movie.
39. To # 35
Stan ,   Israel   (11.14.12)
ENOUGH ALREADY SARAH.! Every time a Palestinian makes PEACE OVERTURES, you and Bibi's cronies reject it. The Pals made many mistakes (so did we) now stop spurting out slogans, sit down and negotiate. If a Peace aggreement can be hammered out Israel wins. If it turns out that the Pals were just misleading us and have no intention of reaching a reasonable aggreement, the whole world will then know who is to blame for the impasse, and once again, Israel wins.

Palestinian ,   Nablus   (11.14.12)
Are arrogant or ignorant? Read the well the history books and you will find that the Jews had been persecuted and dispersed by the Christian Russia and Europe.Palestinian Jews used to entertain excellent relations with Palestinian Muslims and Christians until the 1897 Zionist project came up and Great Britain, in need of Rothschild money and USA help during WWI(1914-1918)( Read Benjamin freedman speech in 1961) issued the Balfour declaration in 1917.We are all Semitics and have human blood and souls.The Intifadas broke up in 1988 in the Occupied land and against the Occupier who was and is humiliating the Palestinians and denying their rights of self-determination. Peoples have to compromise and respect each other.
43. Thank you.
Palestinian ,   To:#39   (11.14.12)
44. #21. In a few years, Jews will flee America.
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.14.12)
Calling America "the land of milk and honey" is ludicrous. The same trends are at work in America as in France. Twenty years ago, Jews thought France was also a great place to live. In a relatively few years, Jews will flee America.
45. #8. The Temple Mount is ours & "Palestinians" will go.
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.14.12)
Israel commits no sin by touching the Temple Mount. It is ours and always has been ours. Also, the "Palestinian" poseurs will go. Sooner than you think.
46. #39. "Peace deal with Palestinians" would be catastrophe..
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.14.12)
A "peace agreement with Palestinians" would be catastrophic for Israel. Israel is INFINITELY better off without it. Today we have Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, defensible borders, freedom from constant rocket attacks, viability. We would lose EVERYTHING in a "peace agreement with Palestinians".
47. #19 if you are looking for peace CHANGE YOUR LEADERS
(11.14.12)
they don't want it !
48. #39 actually you are wrong
(11.14.12)
Abbas/Fatah have never made peace overtures. Name once. As for blame. I remember Ran Cohen saying that if Fatah attacked even once with the weapons Rabin gave him, we would reverse Oslo and squash them like bugs. Turns out that Ran Cohen, like the rest of the Left was stupid, crazy or lying.
49. arab rein
michael ,   usa   (11.14.12)
what would you suggest than sarah? make israel arab rein?
50. To #31
Orna ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.14.12)
The Native American Indians want their life back too. I propose that you vacate your home and give it back to its rightful owners: the American Indian or Native American. You stole their land and slaughtered them too. Give Texas back to Mexico while you're at it
51. Amazing but we understand now
Stanley M. ,   Waldorf M.   (11.14.12)
Two peoples seemingly erternally pitted against each other where end game prophecy of Peace just eludes them and the world. Its like we are all in suspended animation to the God's epilog, the Authof this andall lifes stories. Something is seriously wrong here where the will of this God is defied,,,,,,,, by these two peoples. Amazing but we understand,,,,,,,now.
52. JORDAN IS PALESTINE.
Avi ,   Melbourne Australia   (11.15.12)
This is the only solution!
53. To #21 You've in Tel Aviv
Jeffrey in Boston ,   Boston, USA   (11.16.12)
I'm sorry You've but your both misguided and mistake. We here in the USA are entering the 5th year of an 8 year tranformation. Led by a president who spent his formative years being bathed in Marxist Communist thought, we're hurtling down the road to a broke, fascistic, society that is ruled over by an all powerful central government. A government filled with self anointed masterminds who rule over all aspects of citizens' lives. A government that has no respect for the foundational principles of God given unalienable rights. A government that enslaves it's citizens to debtor prison. No, the America of milk and honey existed 30 years ago. Those days are long gone, not to return for many, many years. Stay put, you're better off there.
54. The Author is Correct
Elroy ,   Sayerville, NJ   (11.17.12)
If there were to be a Palestinian State, Israel could not control who immigrated to the new state. You could have Al Qaeda set up shop on the West Bank. There will be maybe a million or more new residents. Israel probably missed the boat in returning most of the West Bank to Jordan and Gaza to Egypt. The Palestinian problem would be Jordan's and Egypt's problem, not Israel.
55. #19 Says, "We Are Peace Seeker"
ltrail ,   United States   (11.24.12)
If you are serious about seeking peace, you've got to push hamas under the bus. Their charter conflicts with peace.
