91. #2 Read the Oslo Syndrome
AK   (12.04.12)
Maybe it will help u to understand.
92. hmm... what peace process?
tom ,   toronto, canada   (12.04.12)
if israel's settlements within the boundaries of the historic "jewish homeland in palestine" are such an obstacle to negotiations, why were there no negotiations since obama's freeze on settlements?! what was the plo's excuse then? and if the road to peace is through negotiations, why is washington more upset with israel than with abu mazzen, who avoided all negotiations for 3 years, and has now reneged on previous commitments not to act unilaterally, by going to the un general assembly? as usual, they blame the jews and the bicyclists...
93. How many times is Obama going to let Netanyahu
Giora Me'ir ,   USA   (12.04.12)
make a fool out of him before he acts. The administration took the cowardly way out. It should acted, not by recalling its ambassador, but by a suspension of aid until Israel reversed its decision.
94. Should have listened to us in 2008
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (12.04.12)
Those of you with long memories will remember the siren voices coming out of Britain before Obama was elected the first time.After 11 bitter years experience of our New Labour government we could tell that Obama is another Tony Blair and cannot be trusted. Told you so,told you so.You should have listened. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
95. What else did you expect??
Daniel ,   San Jose   (12.04.12)
UN slapped Israel on the face by accepting 1967 lines as borders of new Palestinian state. What did Europe expect that Israel would do?? Clearly by voting for 1967 lines and for Arab Jerusalem, Europeans provoked Israel into action. I like that Israel is pushing back.
96. Fellow Jews in Denial
MillerUsa ,   Highland Park, USA   (12.04.12)
As a US Jew (AIPAC, Friends of IDF, etc.) stories like this reflect Israeli denials of just how much support they are losing in the US and Europe. There is not some US conspiracy against Israel. Netanyahu is a raging bull in a china shop.
97. Israel
john ,   columbus Usa   (12.04.12)
Let me get this straight the US should keep giving the plo 900 million a year so the can murder and rape, but Israel should be cut off because they build homes on There land?
98. some backstabbers reneged on their agreements UK,EU,UN,PA
bernard ross   (12.04.12)
others, US, just stab you in the back. Frack off y'all. Sick of them all trying to get the jews to bend over and get screwed.
99. Jerusalem
Terry Kenney ,   Stanton, ca us   (12.05.12)
I have a new resolution. Let the Israeli government resolve to make E1 and similar construction projects renamed City of David E1 and all the rest in Jerusalem? The name will speak for itself, the ancient Jewish history. ...praying for Israel.
100. #21 There has never been a letter "P" in Arabic
Jake   (12.05.12)
And there has never been a country or nation of "Palestine". And there won't be.
101. Those Who Rail Against Israel
Tod Zuckerman ,   San Francisco,USA.   (12.05.12)
You are very hypocritical. The Obama administration is responsible for this - it green lighted the Holocaust denying, Munich planning "moderate' Abu Mazen's UN gambit. Sure, it voted against it and perfunctorily criticized the UN vote - however, it did nothing to stop it. That is, it never threatened to cut off aid to the UN, as George H. Bush did in 1990. Now, the EU adherents of moral equivalency ( whenever it comes to Israel) are gleefully doing Obama's bidding. Also, the notion that the Palestinians are interested in a 2 state solution is almost insane : what more do they need to say or do to prove otherwise ? Write their ultimate goal ( Israel's liquidation) in crayola and hand deliver it to every EU govt., peace pimp NGO, the Obama adiministation, and the dwindling but still stubborn Israeli lefty nincompoops ? I guarantee it will still not change the minds of those who will not see/hear. Lastly, stay strong, BIBI.
102. Not so fast
David Sternlight ,   Los Angeles   (12.05.12)
If you want no more life-saving breakthrough drugs, fast powerful computers, agricultural technology and missile defense technology, all Israeli exports ( and no more Nobel Class Israeli breakthroughs), go right ahead and isolate Israel for an Arab terrorist State that contributes nothing to mankind. Then explain it to your sick or dying parents/ children, as Israel meanwhile develops its massive energy resources without your help.
103. #21
Steve   (12.05.12)
The world seems to disagree with you and democracy dictates that the majority rules. So you and micronesia, Palau which together make up 00000.01% of the world is sort of insignificant.
104. #102
James   (12.05.12)
You are ignorant to believe that none of these discoveries/inventions can't be done without you. What use are your breakthroughs if on the other hand you cause so much instability,pain,deaths and believe everyone else is below you.
105. It's about time!
Joe Blow   (12.05.12)
That Australia stood up to the Israelis, instead of being the USA'a lapdog. Well done Senator Carr-a good Labour man.
106. Leave something for peace
sam ,   colorado-USA   (12.05.12)
Leave something for peace, What is built on falsehood is false " Enough stealing of Palestinian land"
107. 89
JUDAH THE LION ,   JEWS FIGHT LIKE LION   (12.05.12)
Sanction against Israel will not happen, and if happens, Jews can take care bu themselves. And also I will tell you sanction does not work. Let them bring on sanction
108. EU support PA with Action at UN
Lenya ,   Australia   (12.08.12)
and support Israel with BLAH BLAH at Operation Pillar of Defense. Its all a Farce. Israel supporters are not deceived at all. It is amazes me witnessing the world's hypocrisy in supporting terrorists, criminals, holocaust deniers, illegitimate governments (PA and Hamas). Where will it end?
109. @ #2 Michael
Lenya ,   Australia   (12.08.12)
Yes Michael very wrong and stupid government they shouldn't defend Israeli citizens, they shouldn't stop the indiscriminate rocketing of Israeli populated towns. They are so stupid to build Israeli homes in land that has never been occupied, built on and legally bought and owned by Jews. After all Jews are not allowed to defend themselves or build on lands they own...because foreign countries forbid it and God forbid Jewish "settlers" but Allah bless Arab settlers who actually are the real ancestral owners of the land called Israel. Very clever Michael you deserve a medal from Hamas.
110. Illegal Settlements ?
Lenya ,   Australia   (12.09.12)
No land in Israel is illegal to build on especially if those lands have been annexed, won by war or legally bought. Still the world will not accept Israel's sovereign rights..why ? If Jews don't have the right then also does not the US which Mexico claims illegally settled Texas, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado which are parts of Mexico. Same with the UK which still rule parts of Ireland and Gibralter which is geographically part of Spain. China illegally claims many lands and territories in the Himalayas while Tibet is under China occupation. European countries though united dispute multiple territories against each other. Turkey occupies North Cyprus and and on...but who's the world fixated on ? Correct, Israel. This tiny sliver of land surround by hostile Arab nations 10 to 20 times larger want to claim this land also as Arab land and the "Palestinians" are the front in this hateful agenda to displace the Jewish people.
