31. Partition Before the Shoah
Zechariah   (08.11.13)
The time for Partition was before the Shoah with a Jewish Islamic Equal Superstate. Islamic hate of Judaism destroyed the Possibility.Now it's too late for anything but a Demilitirized Autonomy.Call it a state but the Jews need control security even on the Jordan Valley and a strip in central Israel.Thats the Realapoliticic Momentum.
32. #29 Pals got murderers for 6 months no UN or ICC
Sam ,   Canada   (08.11.13)
Palestinians can't have it all their way. They get talks but no going to ICC or UN for 6 months. Not that it matters anyways. Israel controls the territory and will ignore anything from the UN or ICC it doesn't like. Like the Palestinians, Israel will ignore what it doesn't like.

And you should keep exercising your right to live in a loonie bin where you will feel right at home. Perhaps # 29 will keep you company.
36. Letter from President Abbas to President Obama
Ramzi Jaber ,   Palestine   (08.11.13)
The Very Honorable President Obama 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC Mr. President, Israel continues to steal our land, making a viable FREE State of Palestine impossible based on 1967 lines as you have asserted and as the entire world demands. The latest illegal, hostile, provocative, and arrogant action came with the recent Israeli announcement of yet more construction in the Occupied State of Palestine, even in colonies that are deep into Palestine. This comes on the heels of yet another recent Isareli decision to fund illegal outposts in the Occupied State of Palestine. These illegal and hostile Israeli actions make peace impossible and get us quickly to the point of no return. Accordingly, and as Israel continues to renege on its Oslo obligations and on the latest understandings with Secretary Kerry, and in the interest of peace and salvaging the two-state solution from extinction, I am respectfully informing you of the following actions that we have undertaken: 1- We have initiated action at the ICC and ICJ regarding the continued illegal Israeli construction of colonies in the Occupied State of Palestine. 2- We have submitted requests for the State of Palestine to join ALL UN agencies. 3- We have submitted a request to the UNSC for recognizing the State of Palestine as a full member of the UN, a long overdue status that is right and just. 4- We have suspended our participation in the negotiations until ALL Palestinian prisoners are released, first among them Mr. Barghouti, and until the Gaza border is fully open. Mr. President, we are a proud Nation. We refuse to be bullied and continuously lied to by Israel. Yet, we remain firmly and fully committed to peace based on the 1967 borders and the two-state solution. But we cannot accept Israeli illegal actions and provocations while we supposedly “talk peace”. The time for talk is over. The solution is known to all. It has been so for years. If Israel truly wants peace, a peace agreement can be finalized and signed in ONE day: all that is needed is for Israel to truly and honestly commit to peace and to start withdrawing immediately from the Occupied State of Palestine, which should take no more than 90 days to complete in coordination with us. Thanks to you, Mr. President, and to Mr. Kerry as well for both of your valiant support and efforts to make peace happen in the Holy Land. Now the time for action has arrived. Enough talk and double talk by Israel while my people continue to suffer, which is unacceptable. We demand actions. As President, I am at the service of my people and the above actions are designed to sincerely and urgently save the two-state solution and advance the cause of peace. But the window will close in very short order (a few months at most) and, in that case, we will follow with other actions at the right point in time. In the meantime Mr. President, I look forward to your and to Mr. Kerry’s fair, balanced, and impartial active mediation to urgently achieve the two-state solution. Very sincerely, President Abbas State of Palestine CC: US Secretary of State, The Honorable John Kerry CC: EU High Representative, Baroness Catherine Ashton CC: UN Secretary-General , The Honorable Ban Ki-moon CC: UNSC Members _____________________________ Yes, President Abbas, it's high time to send such a letter! PLEASE do.
37. #29 Yes indeed, Benazzi, time to fight those settlements!

Manu ,   France   (08.12.13)
u want peace? muslims wants peace!!ahahahaha big big news, no muslim countries can handle peace. Israel want peace? send arabs, all of them to where they belong, far from the jewish state!
39. the real thing...
Michel ,   Ashkelon   (08.12.13)
...is that the PA was praying for something like this.They can now easily blame Israel for a failure they want to assure because the only thing they are interested iss in receiving the billions from the world playing the "victim "role". Besides the American administration is also happy because they can focus on that instead of the real danger posed by Iran getting the nukes soon.
40. Oh, pipe down Erekat
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (08.12.13)
You're getting your terrorists aren't you?
41. To: No. 31
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.12.13)
Congratulations! You win the "I am a complete and total idiot" prize. Do you really think that the ersatz "Palestinians" are interested in peace? They are not. They have proven it long enough. But murderers are being released -- to ply their trade again -- because there are idiots in the world who believe a single word the ersatz "Palestinians" utter. That would be you. Perhaps we should set these terrorists and murderers loose in Liverpool. If they kill your mum or your dad or your children, would you still be babbling nonsense about the "sake of peace?" Somehow, I doubt it. Makes me almost wish we could do that, just to wipe that smirk off your stupid face.
42. Erekat the Arafatist Islamist-Jihadist Usurper
Brod ,   USA   (08.12.13)
Erekat the Arafatist Islamist-Jihadist Usurper needs to know that Judea and Samaria-the Land of Israel belongs to Israel since ancient time which Israel liberated from Islamist-Jihadist occupation in the 20th century. Israel should not be silent when the Usurpers trumpet their claim that the Land of Israel belongs to them. Such lies should be confronted and exposed to the world. Israel should continue building all over the Land of Israel. It is your land. It does not matter if Erekat and his gang of Usurpers and Hitlterite counterparts make noise.
