31. 24 When Israel stop stealing their land and taxes
lydia ,   Brisbane   (01.07.13)
When Palestine hands Israel the bill for 60Y of illegal occupation, land theft and mass murders etc the Palestinian can look forward to years of reparation money from the Chosenites will make German reparation $$$ seem like pittance. So start packing and back to whence you came.
32. 26. Got your Cart before the Horse

NOTHING outside Israels unilaterally declared borders belongs to Israel hence 250UN res. against Israels illegal occupation.
33. 2 Kleptocracy surely you have a brain
lydia ,   Brisbane   (01.07.13)
The biggest set of thieves are the Israeli land thieves and mass murderers. 250UN res. says the 60Y occupation is illegal and the horde of est Euro migrants have been 'grabbing what they can'. However time has caught up with Israel and their end is in sight.
34. Mark, a bit of projection perhaps?

I mean here you are trying to conflate my name with the state of Palestine as recognized by the United Nations, and then just a gratuitous insult. Is this because you have no answer and nearly everything I posited back in the old days has come to pass. Let me tell you this, polls that people point to out of the US that claim a great deal of support for Israel are not asking the hard questions. But some are. When asked, the average American is saying cut all foreign aid to everyone including Israel. When asked about the illegal occupation people are equally as abhorrent. That's okay. You carry on...

You write: "Abbas hasn't worked for 5 minutes to create a viable state..." This statement alone shows you are completely incapable of coherently discussing the conflict. The ironic thing is that you sound like Hamas lamenting about those "foolish" Fatah. They say Abu Mazen has gotten nothing, and you might note they improved their standing a great deal during the last outbreak of conflict and they actually _did_ get something...

"It only matters how SOVEREIGN states addresses their letterhead with your name. " Could not agree more. Remind me what the capital of Israel is, then.

likewise, the state of Palestine can rightfully take Israel to ICJ for stealing land and water.
40. So many racists here...
Ahmet, Turkey ,   Istanbul   (01.07.13)
It is not possible to create a better world with right wing zionists. You existence is a disgrace for this planet.
41. This could present a transfer problem
Taxpayer ,   hod hasharon   (01.07.13)
As we all know if you write out a check and get the name wrong then the payee cannot deposit it - since our agreement is with the Palestinian Authority to transfer taxes to it, and since the Palestinian Authority does not exist and we have no agreement with a state called Palestine, presumably it is no longer possible to transfer money
42. "Remind me what the capital of Israel is, then..."

Tel Aviv. Check with all major Western governments including the United States...
43. Dearest Taxpayer...
BBSNews ,   Santa Fe, New Mexico   (01.07.13)
When XYZ Company goes to the relevant authority and changes their name and status to ABC Corporation, does everyone who owes them money just get to ignore their bills? Nope. What a silly notion. So, see you in The Hague. P.S. When you pop open another comment prepared to tell me how Israel and the US don't recognize the ICC, dream on and look up Milosevic and Qaddafi and how the US supported an international trial for them. Also, in case you are not aware of it, the rest of the Western world is also, along with the Palestinians, getting tired of US kowtowing to Israel's every illegal action and they support the ICC and would welcome a trial for Israel's behavior regardless of what our rather feckless government does in terms of Israeli actions... Feel free to continue to advocate more theft by Israel from the Palestinians. The world has had quite enough. Israel cannot even muster more than a few comments anymore in threads here in the US say over the Hagel nomination. Israel should have went for the Arab Peace Initiative when it had the chance. Now that chance is almost non-existent because of Israeli greed for more Palestinian territory. The dreaded One State Solution(tm). Here it comes...
44. To: No. 30
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.07.13)
Wow. I'm sure every Israeli is quaking in their shoes. Iran has Israel's vast nuclear arsenal to deal with. Whom do you think is going to win that one, you silly twit? Keep in mind that the best Iran could do against a vastly inferior Iraq was to eke out a humiliating draw. Iran lost one million troops in the process, and ending up hurling twelve-year old boys under the treads of Iraqi tanks. I assure you that Israel is not Iraq, and given the multi-pronged assault that Israel is capable of bringing to bear against Iran, Iran will not fare at all well.
45. 44 Keep dreaming Israel 1st begged for a ceasefire
lydia ,   Brisbane   (01.08.13)
Israel is not Iraq because Iran fought a proxy war against Iraq with weapons supplied by the coalition of the dummies. Israel doesn't even have a million troops to lose in the process or 500K 12Y boys to throw under tanks (as you claim in your bs story.) This time the war against Iran is being played out in in Syria except Iran is even better armed and China and Russia is in the mix. Now if the coalition of the dummies which includes Israel couldn't defeat Iran IN Iraq and literally handed the country over to them after the illegal invasion and if the latest Pillars of bs waged on Gaza saw Israel for the first time forced to agree to the terms of a ceasefire. Israel tried this bs before on the Russians with the Georgian conflict and Putin sent them fleeing with tails between legs back to Israel. Again pray tell, with Russia and China vested interest in Syria and Clinton having already pulled up stumps, how do you see Israel coming out on top in this latest disaster?
