31. To those of you Israelis who oppose West-Bank as Palestine
Anonymous ,   TX, USA   (11.29.12)
What is your solution? What do you suggest Israel should do with the Palestinians there? Deport them - where? To Jordan and destroy a friendly state. How, sending the army and bulldozers? Or perhaps annexing the West-Bank, and keeping the Palestinians in Israel under apartheid type rights. Your suggestions Let us hear them please
32. Give the Arabs Rome
Steve from Raleigh   (11.29.12)
Illegally occupied Rome. Starting with the Vatican.

AL QUDS ALYAHUDI ,   QUDS HAKA AL YAHUD   (11.29.12)
If the Arab world will try to attack Israel and to wipe Israel off the map, do you think Israel will just do nothing ? No. Israel will unleash her real merchandise and will make sure not a single Arab & Islamic country on earth.
34. My great uncle lined up at the vatican wall to go to
Moshe ,   Usa   (11.29.12)
auschwitz, but I still have some respect for this italian premier . . . . . . but not very much.
35. LOL
Birdi ,   Israel   (11.29.12)
Sarah B. please note, you have been given a new name by # 24. ''Sally'' does not quite befit you!
36. #24 - resisting history
yosef ,   williamsburg US   (11.29.12)
You wrote: "Resisting the forces of history, demography, democracy and the Arab spring, and virtually the will of the whole world is really what is "stupid and arrogant." I assume you are speaking of Syria (40,000 dead and no word from your type?), Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iran and many African countries who continue subjugating their citizens to that colonialist and racist type of livlihood correct? What are you missing? Israel is more accepting and open to other religions and ethnic groups than any country close to it. The arrogance and stupidity is actually coming from self moralizing people like you.
37. #31. Easy. Annex Area C.
Jake   (11.29.12)
Few Arabs. Many Jews. Much empty land. IDF commanders on the ground are already recommending application of Israeli law in the area, to replace current Jordanian and military laws. Where's the Apartheid?
38. #29
Ali ,   PALESTINE   (11.29.12)
If you think a demographic majority, its culture, heritage and vitality despite incridible odds, in between the river and the sea this as mere fiction, you are detached from reality. I'd seek help...
39. I suggest we all live in one country,
Ali ,   PALESTINE   (11.29.12)
a democratic republic with equal rights- one wo/man-one vote. We agree on the name later !!
40. #31 what to do with Palis?
yosef ,   williamsburg US   (11.29.12)
What did your fellow Texans do after the Alamo? They chose to stay or go right? The Palis can and should become full citizens under ONE state - Yisroel - and if they choose not to they can leave, if they cannot abide by the law then they can be incarcerated, if they do not want to become a citizen then they can live as illegals and receive minimal state support, and eventually be expelled if necessary. Annex the West Bank? How do you annex something that is already yours? Again, those Palis become citizens of Yisroel and the Sec A, B & C goes away...
41.  Italian Government
(11.29.12)
They will fall like the Roman Empire Be patience
42. Ali #38 No, in reality
Jake   (11.29.12)
There are few Arabs, many Jews living in Area C, and much empty land. Israel will extend Israeli law to Area C. Just like in eastern Jerusalem. It can do this, because the 1949 ceasefire lines were never formalized into international borders. The Arabs wanted it that way, remember? Let's see now. Is Abbas able to extend PA rule to the Gaza strip, from which they were evicted by Hamas thugs and thrown from the rooftops?
43. So easy to give away someone else's land.
BH ,   Iowa   (11.29.12)
If the Europeans want a plo state so badly they should carve it out of Europe.
44. Ali 39
(11.29.12)
No way. Arabs to Arabia. You kicked the Jews out from Arab countries, now is the turn of the Jews to kick your asses back to Arabia.
45. (24) John from Texas
tiki ,   belgium   (11.29.12)
It's not about the will of the world, it's about irreversible, iron clad historical binding contracts, which give Israel the right to do what it is doing! The Hamas, Achmad from Iran, Hizbollah & friends, they all will disappear, like ALL the enemies of the Jewish people throughout history have disappeared! The EU countries, voting for this farce are the countries with the biggest financial problems at home! Apropos, talking about stupid & arrogant? Sorry to say, but your answer represents both!
46. Then ask the King of Jordan sitting in Amman
Jake   (11.29.12)
to create "a democratic republic with equal rights- one wo/man-one vote". You can agree on the name later !! Jordan is the 78% of the former Palestine Mandate territory set aside for the Palestine Arabs as a "Jew-free" country to pursue their independence and national interests.
47. I haven't been Italian since 1985
Grendel ,   USA   (11.29.12)
The Italian government is becoming more and more like the US government...it just doesn't give a crap about its people. The seat of Roman Catholicism allying itself with the most evil, most dangerous terrorist state in the middle east..The popes of old Rome would be turning in there graves!!
48. TO NR. 46.
SJOERD VAN DER VELDE ,   HOORN NH, HOLLAND   (11.29.12)
I AGREE WITH YOUR PROPOSAL AND ARGUMENT. LET THE JEWISH PEOPLE HAVE THE LAND BETWEEN THE RIVER JORDAN AND THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA AND THE PALESTINIANS/ARABS THE LAND EAST OF THE RIVER JORDAN. OTHERWISE THERE WILL NEVER BE PEACE.
49. finally ...
Rea ,   London   (11.29.12)
This decision is representative of majority of Italian people... finally a wise decision and many Italians are very happy today.. vada a leggersi giornali Italiani.
50. 46&48 Dreamers
Ali ,   PALESTINE   (11.29.12)
And why do u think our people will want to do that. Make no mistake...no force on earth can make this happen...dream on...perhaps it is ticlish to you!
51. SHALOM!!!
Sarah ,   Holland   (11.29.12)
To the Palestinian people!!
52. how about a list of countries not supporting not many of the
zionist forever   (11.29.12)
Keep getting articles about which is the latest country to announce they are supporting this UN bid but we already know they are going to win easily even if Abbas doesn't go ahead with his planned sales pitch, the world loves those arabs. What is worth listing is which countries are against it because there is not going to be many of them.
53. 39
zionist forever   (11.29.12)
I can just see it now Between Judea & Samaria, Gaza, Lebanon & Syria there are probably around 6 million palestinians. Add to that 1.5 million arabs in Israel. There are probably 6-7 million Jews in Israel right now so already the Jewish majority is dead. Alliyah of course would have to end because its discriminatory allowing Jews worldwide to immigrate to Israel and get thousands of Dollars in benefits whilst arabs are not allowed. So no boosting the Jewish population from outside. Arabs breed faster than Jews so that means that with arabs having bigger families and and with demographics which are equal or even favour the arabs from the day this republic is formed then Jews will be the minority and we would just have an arab state but this one would have a large Jewish minority. If the palestinians want to live in one state as non citizens then thats fine but a single democratic republic is not an option
54. @ yosef # 40: the world widened after WWII
Anonymous ,   Tx, USA   (11.30.12)
What used to be acceptable like invading, annexing, deporting, ethnic cleansing, occupation, and colonialism were banned, after WWII. So what the texans did is no longer the norm. Forcing people to accept occupation or deporting them is no longer accepted. And you might want to check with the majority of israelis if they would give equal Israeli citizenship to west bank and gaza Palestinians.
55. 49 Rea London
(11.30.12)
Where is the great Roman Empire.? Where is the great Greek Empire.? Where are the Pharoas ? Where is Aman and other Jew haters who were planning to kill all the Jews from infants to old. They have all gone to hell and no more great empire, but the Jews are still here alive and well. All these nations who are against the Jews will get their punishment from our G D. Europe were rich nation. Today, many European countries are bankrupt and their economic in problems. Worst natural diaster are on the way to the enemies of Israel

Shalom Sarah, Have you started to put up your veil ? Start to prey allah akbar and practice Islam
57. #37 Where is the Apartheid
Doug ,   Rochester, SA   (11.30.12)
1. Pals who had their land and water stolen. 2. Pals who can not travel on Jewish roads. 3. Pals who must pass through apartheid checkpoints. 4. Pals who can not cross the apartheid wall. 5. Pals who can not take the apartheid buses. 6. Pals who are unarmed by Israeli law while the heavily armed illegal settlers uproot their olive trees, etc.

The world really does not love the Arabs. They all know what Arabs & Islam. They are bunch of violence,liars, killers etc,. They know very well the world will be better off without Islam. The world appeasing Islam because they are like dust which cannot be counted, and secondly they have the oil which the world need badly. When the oil not needed, the world will turn against them.
59. #57 Doug just exposed his ignorance
Cynthia ,   USA   (11.30.12)
1. Palestinians ran away when faced with a war they started in '48. They abandoned the land. Palestinians share responsibility for water. In spite of the water shortage, they have large families. Their population exceeds the allocated water supply. 2. There are no "Jewish roads". There are roads for Israelis for security reasons after Palestinians killed many Israelis by throwing rocks, firing guns and ambushing drivers. 3. Checkpoints prevent terrorists from entering Israel and allows the IDF to track Palestinians suspected of terror. 4. The security barrier prevents terrorists from entering Israel. 5. Arabs/Palestinians use buses. 6. Doug considers Palestinians carrying knives, guns, rocket launchers, rocks and pipe bombs unarmed. Terrorists follow the law of jihad, not the State of Israel. The Jewish residents of settlements must be armed to ward off terrorists trying to damage their crops and attack their families.
