1. Your Terrorist is our Freedom Fighter
Lynx ,   Palestine   (01.27.14)
& you will never break our will and thirst for freedom and independence. Better accept Palestinian self-determination and sovereignty including East Jerusalem which is the Capital of Palestine!
2. Your thirst for freedom and independence
frauss ,   Jerusalem   (01.27.14)
could have been quenched 66 years ago and every year since. But the way you are going and your leaders are taking you, you will be thirsty for a LONG time, inshalla!
3. #1 - you want to live like the Gazans?
Scott ,   Ramat Gan   (01.27.14)
If you want to live under Taliban like rules, where sharia law rules, women have no rights & are covered from head to toe & anyone who disagrees with Hamas is either beat up or thrown in jail, then support Hamas. Even if the PA gets a state, Hamas will take over, just like they did in Gaza & you will not enjoy human rights or live in a democracy.

Sorry to burst your propaganda bubble but Palestinians and Arabs have sought peace with Israel on numerous occassions it's Israel that has always slithered it's way out. Shalom

After you have lived in Israel for 40 years like I have you may have some idea of what you are saying. You certainly don't now.
6. #4 bubbles
(01.27.14)
I do not want to burst your bubble, but #1 tells the truth: Arabs have not and do not want to seek peace that includes living Jews. From the Hamas Charter: "The time will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews (and kill them)" and Hamas "believes that the land of Palestine has been an Islamic Waqf throughout the generations and until the Day of Resurrection, no one can renounce it or part of it, or abandon it or part of it."

Sorry to bust your bubble but why don't you try asking ISRAELI ARABS IF THEY WANT TO LIVE IN A PALISTINIAN CONTROLLED COUNTRY? I'll bet 100 % will say NO. they will rather stay in Israel under a democracy.
8. #4 - proof
William ,   Israel   (01.27.14)
Sorry to burst your bubble, John. Neither Arabs nor "Palestinians" - which incidentally is a redundant statement - have sought real, sustainable peace with Israel. There has never been a time when Arabs declared an acceptance to a sovereign, secure Jewish State in peaceful coexistence with its neighbors. Rather, the opposite is true. The Pallys and Arabs want to violate their own 1949 Armistice Agreement to take back lands they lost in 1967, which they ethnically cleansed and stole in 1949. They want control over Jewish holy places. They want to flood Israel with millions of hostile foreigners who have never even seen Israel, let alone own property there. And they want the right to attack her as a future option. And those are the "moderates". The radical among them - Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hizbullah, PFLP, PRC, Al-Aqsa Brigades - which is essentially all the same crap - declare their goal to destroy Israel and accept NO Jews in the region. Israel is the one who offered many concessions for nothing in return. They left Jewish land in Gaza to push peace. They continue to provide medical, agricultural, water, and power cooperation despite receiving rockets and bombers in return. The truth is just too glaring to ignore, John...even for a lemming like you.
9. #1 - Correction: everyone's terrorist
William ,   Israel   (01.27.14)
Including the US and EU who placed Hamas on the terror list. But perhaps you enjoy having your population used as human shields by your "freedom fighters" as they fire rockets and send bombs to cafes and buses, claiming the targeting of civilians is "self-defense". Admit it, Hamas is dying on the vine and grasping at straws to stay relevant. And Jerusalem, a Jewish city that was never an Arab one, and ethnically cleansed of Jews in 1949, has been reunited for decades and will remain so. Time to look eastward for your capital, where it has always been, in Ramallah.
10. #9 William
Daniel ,   Hereandthere   (01.27.14)
You are wrong. In fact you are so wrong it is sad.East Jerusalem was cleansed of Jews and an attempt was made to cleanse it of Jewish holy sites. Garbage was dumped on the Kotel, ancient synagogues destroyed and tomb stones from the Mount of Olives used to pave sewers and roads. Ramallah is NOT the capital of Palestine; Amman is. But no one will ask Jordan to give up any land to form a new Palestinian State.
11. To: William at No. 9
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.27.14)
"Time to look eastward for your capital, where it has always been, in Ramallah." Actually .... Amman.
