..but the earlier discussed landswap of the Arab Israeli citizens suggested by Lieberman were apparently meant otherwise. I suggest: both Arab and settler Israeli citizens who would become to live in Palestine can keep their Israeli citizenship. Beate, Holon

Abbas' quotes from other Israeli news sources state that Abbas wishes to exclude ISRAELIS from a future Palestinian state. This would of course exclude Israel's 20 per cent Arab population too. He did not say "Jew".

however, most pals want to live in Israel because it is superior in every way. Too bad the pals made it their life's work to keep terrorizing the Jews whom they now want to evict from their own land. Should work the other way around, no defeated, vanquished non people have the rights over the victor, a victor of 6 aggressive wars begun by them against Israel. the combined forces pal/muslim/arab can't win over a shouting match with those who own the land and the people whom won it from the losers.. ANNEXATION AND REPATRIATION is the only way. All pals to Joran, end of story end of conflicts, end of pal terror. KEEP BUILDING ON YOUR LAND !!!

That would depend on the translation you read. Abbas speaks in Arabic, so the content you see is translated by someone else. You could take a hint from his declaration about the makeup of an international peacekeeping force when he said that he rejected the idea of Jewish soldiers from foreign lands serving in that force. The basic hypocrisy of demanding that Palestinian Arabs (even those who have never seen "Palestine" and couldn't point to it on a map of the world if their lives depended on it) be allowed to enter and live in Israel while rejecting the presence of a single Israeli in "Palestine" is lost on Abbas and his cohorts.

It is absolutely essential that Jews live in the new Palestinian state. There are so many heritage sites that must be preserved by Jewish presence. If the Palestinians are not ready to preserve Jewish sites and accept Jewish residents with full rights then they are not ready for peace. I am leftist and ready for concessions to make peace BUT that peace must be real peace...and I know...we have a long way to go.

"nobody wants to live in a Palestinian State ,not Jews OR Arabs. I would add that no rational Israeli would like to live next door to one.

Speaking of Jewish presence in 'Palestine', haven't the massacres in Hebron, Tiberias, Safed taught us anything?

Just as New York State is part of America, Judea and Samaria are part of Israel. End of discussion

Judea and Samaria-Land of Israel belongs to Israel since ancient time. There is no need for negotiation. Just counter the Taqiyya of Islamist-Jihadists that they spew to the world claiming the Land of Israel as their land. Israel should say NO to them and their Anti-Semite supporters-Papist and Islamist-Jihadist dominated Hussien Obama administration, and Papist-dominated EU. The inventor and perpetrator of Anti-Semitism/Anti-Israel are Papism and Islamist-Jihadism. These dark forces led by Satan persecuted and ravaged Jews and Judeo-Christians during the Dark Ages starting from 538 AD. Today, their ugly heads have reemerged and presently crusading against Israel, trying to deprive Israel of its liberated Historic and Biblical Homeland-Judea and Samaria-Land of Israel, and butchering and ethnic cleansing Christians in the Middle East, Africa, etc. America should wake up. Congress should wake up. Hussien Obama is crusading against Israel and is supporting Islamist-Jihadist fanatics-the Muslim Brotherhood that butchers Christians and others around the world. Congress should impeach Barack Hussien Obama. He is a threat to America, Israel and Christians and others around the world. In March he is planning to visit the Pope-man-made god of Papism-the Inventor of Anti-Semitism. He is also planning to visit Wahhabhist Saudi Arabia whose Islamist-Jihadist thugs attacked America and butchered 3000 Americans in cold blood on 9/11, whose Islamist-Jihadist Factories called Madrassas continue to produce Islamist-Jihadist terrorists around the world, and who are sponsoring and arming Islamist-Jihadist terrorists in Nigeria, Sudan, Somalia, Southern Philipines,, Southern Thailand, Burma, etc butchering Christians and others.

Between settlers and indigenous individuals. Israeli Arabs are indigenous inhabitants who were already living in the area before Israel was established. Israeli citizen settlers in the West Bank are foreigners occupying land outside their country's borders.
