37. The UNSC HAS FAILED to stop the killing in Syria!
Dee Bee ,   Israel   (12.20.12)
40,000 plus dead at the hand of the New Hitlerite Regime in Syria and they have the nerve to criticize Israel while the Palestinians openly state they want a Palestine from the Sea to the Jordan River and it must be JEW FREE! Maybe its time for Israel to join Taiwan and leave the UN? It is time for the Prime Minister to tell the UN to go to clean up its own filth and stop bashing Israel! Besides Syria, millions have been killed in Africa and in the Congo massacres happen every day but where is the UN? Too busy bashing Israel!

If they can show, I will be gladlly support Palestinians. Wake up Europe G D will be cursing you.
39. The late Mr. Yitzhaq Rabin, Israel's former prime minister
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (12.20.12)
who ushered the Oslo peace process forward and was dubbed, worldwide, "the prince-of-peace", also drew the contour-for-peace in his last speech at the Knesset, 5 October 1995: 1) Jerusalem will remain united under Israel's sovereignty and will also include the suburbs of Giv'at Zeev and Ma'aleh Adumim (and, of course, area E1 which connects Jerusalem and Ma'aleh Adumim, JBI) 2) All major Jewish settlement blocs will be incorporated into the sovereign state of Israel (including Gush Etzion, Beit-El/Ofra, Efrat, Gush Qatif in Gaza, etc. JBI). 3) The Jordan Valley ought to be viewed in the widest sense of the term and it too will remain under Israel's rule. 4) The future Palestinian state will not be a regular one in that it will be totally demilitarized, its airspace will be fully controlled by Israel's as will its boundaries and all of its border passes: land, sea and air. One would also add that no Jews will be expelled from their villages and towns, regardless of whether those locales are within Israel's sovereign territory or within the territory governed by the Palestinian state. After all, Israel also has Arab villages and towns within it, hence why "cleanse" the future Palestinian state of its Jewish residents?! Mr. Rabin, who received the Nobel Peace Prize, was not only a man of peace but also a pragmatist and a patriot who considered Israel's national and security interests. Perhaps all of us should learn a thing or two from Mr. Rabin approach to peace-making instead of, in a knee jerk reaction, be critical of every move that Israel makes, despite the fact that these moves are precisely along Mr. Rabin's contour-for-peace.
