31. Send Abbas and rabble crowd back to Tunis !!!
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (10.23.13)
32. To: Noodles at No. 31
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.23.13)
I have a much better idea. Impose a death penalty upon terrorists. Past, present and future End of story. Abbas has much to account for. Treat his actions the way the Allies did after World War II. Plaintive bleating by criminals that the actions for which they were hanged were not a crime at the time they were committed simply does not wash. Abbas is a war criminal. Hang him.
33. Talks with mehablim
Matityahu ,   Slovenia   (10.23.13)
No wonder people are emigrating.
34. what's funny
(10.23.13)
Abbas hasn't said anything new or unexpected. What's funny is that Netanyahu (elected by Zionists) has appointed Livni (Obama's representative in Isael) to negotiate Israel's surrender to Abbas. What's even more funny is that Netanyahu keeps sucking up to Obama, even as Obama is being humiliated and denigrated by the Syrians, Russians, Iranians, Saudis, Egyptians and even the French.
35. ''ISLAM'',''THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY'' AND ISRAEL AND SO ON
SJOERD VAN DER VELDE ,   OUR BIG MULTIVERSE   (10.23.13)
BLAMING EVERYBODY ELSE, BUT NOT THEMSELVES, EVERYWHERE, ALWAYS. IN THAT CASE, LEAVE ISRAEL AND GO TO JORDAN, EGYPT AND TO THE SO-CALLED ARABIAN PENINSULA. ''ISLAM'' BEGAN IN MEDINA AND MECCA/MAKKAH IN THE 7TH. CENTURY. ALSO ''THE PALESINIAN PEOPLE'' IS AN ARAB(IAN) PEOPLE.
36. 67 Borders
Mad Dad ,   JHB   (10.23.13)
The 67 borders were available in 48. Pity they rejected them.
37. I have a better idea
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.23.13)
Kill all the terrorists, and deport whatever scum is left. There is not a single country on earth that would tolerate what the sovereign State of Israel has had to endure. Jew hatred at its finest. Not that one could expect anything better or more intellectually advanced from criminal Europe. Europe is drenched in Jewish blood -- everyone knows that. The sad fact is that nothing has changed since they were brought to account. Well, THIS Jew hasn't forgotten and has absolutely no desire to forgive. Europe is totally discountable. A passel of Nazis and Nazi collaborators. What? I'm supposed to accede to their ridiculous demands? Oh, I DON'T THINK SO. Israel is a sovereign nation. With an extraordinarily powerful military. Deal with us on OUR terms. Or fade away into the annals of history. That's YOUR choice. No, we haven't forgotten. No, we never will. No one will miss Europe anyway. Sooner or later (probably sooner) all of Europe will be under the thumb of primitive Moslems. Couldn't have dreamt of a better -- or more fitting -- fate. Europe is toast. History. Me? I'm laughing. Couldn't have happened to a better bunch of vicious anti-Semites. Good riddance to despicable rubbish. How do you like us now, Europe? HOW DO YOU LIKE US NOW?
38. Blaming Israel as a political principle
Alexander Scheiner ,   Jewish Statae Israel   (10.23.13)
Dr. Abbas is a stupid man. If in troubles, he blames 1st Israel, or then Jews or the USA. Lets call him "Blamingo" Same with Palestinians. Because of UNWRA thy learn that its always Israel to be blamed. rememberamalek.blogspot
39. What is new? Blaming Israel is standard for him
Jo   (10.23.13)
40. sound like abbas try to make excusses
ghostq   (10.23.13)
the failior of the talk will be cause arabs do not want to recognize jews right to exist.
41. Abbas face
basri ,   paris   (10.23.13)
His face is a failure
42. Sarah B.
David Clarke ,   Liverpool, England.   (10.23.13)
Sarah we all know that you seem to think that the entire Non-Jewish world hates you and that you need to hate them and erratically shake your fist at everyone who disagrees with you and your racist bile, which is pretty much everyone, however your comments are becoming ever more maniacal, repetitive, banal, boring and downright predictable along with the usual erratic paranoia you demonstrate, which seems to grow and grow every time you comment. Europe does not hate Israel and does not hate Jews, Europe has recognized Israel from its inception, most of Israels trade is with Europe, Not the United States in which you dwell, and the economic, political and scientific cooperation between Europe and Israel is unparalleled, on top of that Jews quite happily live in Europe, which has a growing Jewish population and Jews have very strong positions in Politics, Science and Academia, Europe has demonstrated time and time again it is easily Israels oldest friend and is not the enemy you seemingly want it to be. On top of that I see no reason why you should condemn everyone on the European continent as Nazis, particularly when thousands of Europeans strived to preserve Jewish life during the Holocaust and are now recognized by Yad Vashem as righteous among the nations. What I find completely amusing and Ironic is that you accuse people of being Nazis yet you spread allot of racist bile and propaganda which is ample food for anti-Semites and on top of that your conspiracy theory that somehow European Muslims, who make up 6% of Europe's population (44 million people) are plotting to take over the continent seemingly resembles old anti-Semitic beliefs that cabals of Jews are secretly is plotting to take over the world. You are a hypocrite, a racist and a lier and you should remain under your hate rock and stay there until you are willing to be civilized to people.
43. #42 Please remind us again which country it was, Mr. Clarke
A ,   Belgium   (10.23.13)
that turned boatloads of Jewish refugees and survivors of the most hideous crimes ever committed against humanity,away from their only homeland and place of refuge, which your country had no claims to ownership of, to be sent to rot in even more camps in Cyprus? "Jews quite happily live in Europe" you say? Than why are Jews in Finland, Denmark, Holland and other countries "advised" not to wear religious symbols? Because they are being ATTACKED, and mostly by the moslems who are indeed taking over those countries, slowly but surely! Blow it out your self righteous British, ar$e, Mr. Clarke, Sarah B. may be harsh in her critique of Europe, but she is correct. And if you don't believe it, take a walk through London one evening with a kippa on your head and Star of David hanging around your neck. I, for one, will be happy not to read your garbage here anymore.
44. abbas-if you incite any more,we will target you and soon
marv   (10.23.13)
abbas will be targeted in the same way as offer was axed and crowbarred. Abbas, if you want an axe to slice you up, keep on inciting. You have 24 hours to tell your people to stop. Moreover, shut up about jordan valley and mountain ridges. They belong to israeli sovereignty, not as weak bibi says long term lease. katzeleh is correct about bibi. He is a sheep in wolf's clothing.
45. To no. 42 Mr. Clarke
Brett ,   Florida   (10.23.13)
Quite simply put , you are full of shit.
46. Nothing worse than "successful" talks with P.A.
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.23.13)
We all know that "peace talks" with the P.A. are intended to steal Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria from Israel and turn Israel into a 9 mile wide concentration camp. If the talks are "successful", that is exactly what would happen. Nothing would be worse for Israel. In truth, a decent P.M. would not allow Israel to talk to the genocidal terrorist P.A. in the first place.
47. Big Talk from Scared Little People
Rafi ,   Merkaz, Israel   (10.23.13)
I love how all these tough talkers come out of the woodwork in these talkbacks. From their safe little havens in the US and elsewhere, they take a hard stance against Israel's enemies. And why not? They have nothing to lose. Talk is cheap.
48. Israel's share of the blame
Darnell Potts ,   Edgewater, NJ USA   (10.23.13)
Unfortunately, Israel and Jordan share significant blame also. Jordan created much of the problem by illegally invading in 1948, stealing Jerusalem and then bringing in Arab thieves to illegally occupy the land during '49 - '67. And Israel is to blame because for 60 years it has refused to assert its completely proper role as sovereign of the land. Israel's failure to insist on asserting its rights has led to the rest of the world believing the fabrications of Abbas & Co.
49. responsibility
bruce ,   edmonton canada   (10.23.13)
Yes,Israel is the responsible one.It practices patience and tolerance not only within its land but with all those who dismise its existance.The Nation of Israel does not seek pity from others,does not seek to destroy unless it is harmed.The land of Israel was promised to its current tennants over 4000 years ago.Abraham,Isaac,Jacob.Some have a problem with this...they should take this up with the the One who gave this promise!
50. During the past four years, Sir, you refused to meet with
Hermon Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (10.23.13)
the freely elected prime minister of the liberal democratic and sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people. Having rejected several peace offers, in other words, you even refused to sit down and talk peacefully and in good faith about peace with our prime minister, for years. So, why accuse Mr. Netanjahu now, that Israel has been negotiating with you? If you really want to advance peace accept, now, Israel's RIGHT to be, to exist as the sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people. And, if you really want to convince the world that you are serious, please, make good on your commitment of 20 years ago and amend the PLO Charter now. To date, the PLO Charter - written in 1964, three years before "occupation", still has as its main thrust the annihilation of Israel; the "cleansing" of the Jewish homeland of its Jews; and the use of all means to advance these goals. Do amend the Charter of the organization that you head now!!
51. responsibility

52. To Brett, Florida.
David Clarke ,   Liverpool, England   (10.23.13)
Charming Brett, why don't you actually politely and intelectualy refute my points in a respectful manner rather than swearing at me, maybe then ill take you seriously, until then crawl back into what ever swamp in Florida you emerged from until you are willing to be polite and have a rational conversation.
53. To A. Belgium
David Clarke ,   Liverpool, England   (10.23.13)
Im not wallowing in the past and what Britain did, im talking about the modern day, if you believe what Sarah B says in her deranged racist rantings then that is your perogative, If Europe is so horrible why don't you go back and live in whatever trailer park in the West Bank you came from?, its quite hypocritical to live in Europe and call it, Europe is Not perfect by any means but it certainly is a friend of Israel and will always be a friend of Israel, Jewish people are quite welcome here and generaly have comfortable lives here and most Jews generaly reject the racist bigotry you and Sarah espouse, if you don't like it or my posts then tough, you clearly need to learn some manners and need to learn to stop swearing at people you disagree with and whilst your at it why don't you let Stephen Benassi have his account back and start behaving like a mature civilised human being instead of being so childish, immature and petty.
54. #42-Your ignorance is unbelieveable !!
Don Rosenberg ,   Palatine USA   (10.23.13)
Being british, your people are the colonialists who exploited countries around the world. Your pompous and stupid comments remind me that the neandrathal man is still alive. You need to read true Jewish history to understand. Meanwhile, the racist muslims are taking over the UK. You better hurry up and save yourself !!!!!!!!!!
55. #53 "let Stephen Benassi have his account back "
A ,   Belgium   (10.24.13)
Who said I ever took his account, you? I don't need to hide behind or use the name of drek like him OR you to state my opinions. You really are a delusional schmuk, aren't you!
56. To A. in Belgium.
fg   (10.24.13)
You are totally and completely right wrt both Israel-Palestinians in general, Abbas and his terrorist gang, their obnoxious "negotiation" tactics, and also this "Clarke" from Britain. Good you put him in his place. Thank you!
57. #47 rafi
solomon ,   bklyn   (10.24.13)
Talk is what we do here. And if you bother to read other sources, you'll find that the internet, and sites like these, are a new battleground. Some of us have lived in Israel, and for personal, family reasons, returned to where we are now. What do you have against people taking a hard stand against Israel's enemies? Talk is certainly not cheap in this age of the internet.
