... to have his cake and eat it, too. He harbors a silly fantasy that a "Palestinian" entity will someday supplant the State of Israel, and he cannot recognize the State of Israel (we're not talking recognition as a Jewish state any more, mind you; Abbas has upped the ante to recognition of the State of Israel, period) and maintain his delusions. Some peace partner, eh? Time to call it a day. Annex Judea and Samaria in their entirety, and repatriate each and every squatter Arab thereon to Jordan, country of their citizenship. When is enough enough, and when does it become too much? Boycott? Of Israel? Who cares? Do you really think that the international community desperate for cheap sources of energy without too much of a logistical nightmare is going to turn away from Israel's huge natural gas fields? Doubtful. Israeli technology leads the world -- I don't see the international community giving that up, nor do I see it giving up access to Israel's medical advancements. Israel also happens to lead the world in agro technology, desert reclamation and desalinization. And let us not forget Israel's incredibly advanced military technology, which some countries -- especially China and India -- would love to acquire. The notion of a "Palestinian" state was destined to be stillborn, given all of Abbas' demands and preconditions. Let Abbas go build his "Palestine" in Jordan, and let's watch as the dead broke European Union fails to invest in Abbas' pipe dream.

Lieberman is right. Israel is used to boycots and is coming out stronger than before. Shalom from Holland

Get your facts straight, not one of the things you mention is correct, maybe it was so 30 years ago but in today's world Israel has nothing that other nations are not able to provide. The EU is not interested in that little gas bubble, there are vast amounts of gas transferred each day from Russia to Europe, there is gas enough in Norway and the north sea. On top of that, newsflash, Israeli technology does not lead the world, all is done through European and American partnerships, of all those wonderful inventions - how many are patented in Israel, I will tell you that perhaps a handful are. And without subsidies from the Eu of the States, nothing would be invented here.

Can Netanyahu, Lieberman and other ministers declare with their full mouth that Israel is Jewish the way the world believe that Jews ought to act? Please Ministers, stop your hypocrisy.

Global economic meltdown on the horizon. Millions of Jews with no where to go but Israel. Resolution - NO PALESTINIAN STATE... NO PALESTINIANS LEFT IN OUR LAND. Far less Arab "Israelis" living on our land. God is Great. Put your faith in him before all else. There are Divine plans at play and no one will stop them.

all your comments are full of hatred and ignorance. annexing West Bank or what you call Judea and Samaria will achieve the goal you claim Abbas has "destroying israel" faster than you think. you can say whatever you want and i can critisize you as much as i want because it is my right similar to your right of free speech, but to be honest you are just another extremist who does not care about Israeli or Palestinian children future, you push for war and destruction of a 5 million nation living among israelis, can you imagine the effect of the 5 million if they think the way you do?! you did not think of it from this angle i assume. the racist separation wall did not give israel security, the f16s tanks soldiers act of war did not as well, the security the israelis have nowadays and the some kind of peace is just there because we palestinians are seeking peace, and we will seek peace for a long time to come, but trust me water boils at the end, when that happens israel will be facing a 500 million arab together with another 1.5 billion muslims (todays numbers). i am sure not you nor any israeli or american want that to happen, so let us just quit hate and seek peace and live on this land together, we have been fighting for over 65 years now and none of us is defeated you have all the weaponry and we have our bodies, you couldn't defeat us in the past 65 years what make you think this will ever happen?! lets be sane before it is too late. the occupation cannot continue and the wall must fall, enough hatred, racism, bloodshed and all kinds of violence. we could build something huge together.

"If someone goes out to sea and his friend tells him there will be a storm he's not threatening him he's warning him because he's worried for him." It is a different matter to warn a thing that one cannot affect and warn a thing that one can. Why did Kerry make the warning publicly? If his purpose was to warn a friend, why did he not do it privately?

whether in Agriculture or Industry.

suicide bomber, ,all the other US Soldiers will be withdrawn.

livni, what is wrong with you?? Do you not realize the error of your ways?? 10,000 rockets? What is the this about the right? we are talking about all israelis and not calling setters as not our brothers. The only ones that need help are the haredi so they can work and defend themselves and not invite attacks on them. But you livni, you sit in dreamland. Contrary to lapid,t here is no way of truly separating from the palestinians. They are not a n ation but to be one, they willl always need help. the best arrrangement is the current one contrary to kerry who has no idea of what he is talking about. Arab emigration wou,ld take place over time once they realize that judea and samaria are israel. and hamas will have to be destroyed period just as sissi has knocked out the brotherhood, this is what israel has to do but it won't be under bibi. It will be under someone else. Livni, you had your chance with olso, camp david, annapolis, gaza withdrawal, itsover. You don't realize the facts, then I conclude you are scared to death. as shamir said, israel will always have to fight-end of story.

Lieberman is right, of course. Israel has always lived with boycotts. Israel has become an important power in the face of boycotts. Boycotts don't maim and murder thousands of Israelis. "Peace talks" with the P.A. do. Oslo alone murdered more than 1,500 and maimed more than 14,000.

this ridiculous charade and annex all off Judea & Samaria NOW. The Arabs will be better off without their corrupt and terrorist leaders and for sure Israel will be better off. Win-Win situation if you annex. What are you waiting for???????

Israel technology doesn't lead the world and look at Iran how the USA by itself (without Israeli help) cut Iranian oil exports almost in half and severed it's access to the banking community. In today's global economy every thing can be purchased (except Israeli F-22 fighter, Israeli B-2 Bomber, Israeli Space Shuttle, Israeli Mars Rover). The bottom line is Israel can be isolated and if wasn't for the US it could of happened years ago, so instead of being so arrogant, thank us for a change and hope for a solution that benefits all parties, because we can (USA) walk away from this and leave you to the mercy of the Europeans who believe it not have more diplomatic sway than the "continent" of Israel.

All members of the United Nations recognize Israel as Israel and not A Jesish State. Why Netanyahu is imposing this condition on the Palestinians. Jordan already stated that they will never call Israel as a Jewish State. Obsticles to block the Peace Process and thing else.

Bibi is correct, the recognition must work both ways. Once again, Abbas proves the terrorstinians have but one agenda: no more Israel. They are the stumbling block to peace, not Israeli plans for Urban Expansion.

Palestinians have recognized Israel's right to exist "in peace and security," most recently in 1993. A parallel act would be Israeli recognition of Palestine. Now Israel wants to be recognized (solely by the Palestinians) as "Jewish" state. A parallel act would be recognizing Palestine as a Muslim state. Except that Palestine isn't seeking to be defined by its dominant religion.

Everything youv'e said is sheer nonsense. Israeli technology is the wonder of the world, and has only been helped minimally by foreign aid..

It became self sufficient & prosperous in many area's because & in spite of boycotts! If the community of anti Semites believes (which it does) that this is the way to get Israel on it's knees, or worse, there will be a bigger & stronger Israel facing them in the future, because of this. It's time for the Jews around the world to unite and face their old western enemies & their devious agenda's.

Bibihu reunited his bros to drink and graffiti some walls and talks blockades

You guys cry about the "Wall" as they symbol of all that is bad with the occupation. The only reason the Wa;ll is there is to keep your murdering friends from killing more Jews. It isnt to keep Araba in somewhere. its to keep them OUT of somewhere. And it seems to be working Good fences make good neighbors. In this case, it has to be a wall, as your buds would try to break thru the fences in their bloodthirsty zeal. Unfortunately, the sins of the few have consequences for everyone. But dont blame us (Jews/Israelis)

Abbas most received cache from the N. York Times. Or it was a good oportunity to ask for donations.

While the PA encourages boycotts, they must understand that goods moving into the PA hands can be easily controlled that the PA suffers tenfold from any boycott.

Your remark is absurd! "Jewish" does not ONLY mean religion. Of course I know it originates from your Jew hatred. There is a heart cure for that condition.

Is that a promise? As if you had the authority to say who walks away. But just in case you do, please start walking.

"Abbas also said NATO troops, led by the Americans, should be responsible for the security of a future Palestinian state...." I'm not sure who he thinks will want to attack his personal fiefdom but whoever does it'll be "Onward Christian Soldiers". THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!

For the first time in my life I see Israel ... scared. It is scared of ...peace. A country that has known and witnessed endless sacrifices, privations , wars etc. is afraid of taking a step towards peace that can bring an end to daily internal struggles. It seems that this fear of peace is more consistent with the expansionist vision of a certain brand of leaders more bent on "outsmarting" people around them rather than working with them. What a pitiful end to a dream!

Just to sit down and talk of the privilege of creating another Arab state. And yet you did it!!

The PA recognized an Independent State of Israel in 1993. Why does Israel recognize Egypt and Jordan when they dont recognize a JEWISH State of Israel? Why doesnt Israel ask the rest of the free world to recognize Israel as being Jewish. Israel will have no partners except for Canada.
