1. what exactly are we getting in exchange
zionist forever   (02.10.14)
No recognition of Israel as a Jewish state. Right of return non comprisable. Settlements must all go. No IDF presence in the Jordan Valley despite the fact they have never shown any evidence they can be trusted to make sure there is no terror attacks from there once the independence day parties are over and the terrorists say we were cheated we want to liberate the rest of Palestine. Real bargain here, give them a state and all these perks but they give us nothing in return. I am especially looking forward to the airport where a plane can take off and crash into a Tel Aviv office building or the Kiriya before IAF pilots can even get to their planes to intercept.
2. They need their own airport to hijack their own planes

3. what a lovely airport!
aliza ,   israel   (02.10.14)
tarmac in the shape of a heart. i hope they'll use pink color asphalt, with a nice velvet ribbon on top...
4. Why do they still want to work in Israel?
May   (02.10.14)
Since they want all Jews out of West Bank, then they should not come into Israel to find work. The PA just wants EVERYTHING for themselves without giving anything in return.
5. Don't forget modern rocket launchers, IEDs, robotic whipping
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (02.10.14)
machines, go for the gusto.
6. who will pay for this
Naftali ,   Modiin   (02.10.14)
I am just curious since they can not pay their electric build how are they going to build an airport. I think that with any peace agreement full payment of their electric bill is a must. In the end we are all paying for them to have electricity.

there is already a ribbon on top look closer.
8. LOL!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.10.14)
Very reminiscent of Hitler's (may his named be cursed throughout eternity) last days in the bunker, playing with his models of German and Austrian cities, isn't it? Airports? You have got to be kidding! A demilitarized entity is not entitled to have runways. Particularly given this lot's stated ambitions. Why don't they start small -- build a hospital or two. That way, Israel will not have to treat their sick; make them well and healthy enough to kill more Jews.
9. 6 Israel will pay reparation to Palestine
lydia ,   Brisbane   (02.10.14)
10. 1. Israel should not be rewarded for 65Y of violations
lydia ,   Brisbane   (02.10.14)
11. 7 Israel bombed the Gaza Airport
lydia ,   Brisbane   (02.10.14)
Let them pay to rebuild it.
12. Who will pay?
Mike B ,   London   (02.10.14)
Stupid Europeans like me, that's who. Not that I will get any say in the matter.

14. To NO. 1
(02.10.14)
You already put your hand on 78% of historical Palestine, kicked out most of Arabs living in peace from their homes into diaspora, and bragging about being the only democracy in the region! Trust me when I say that I would be happy if you turn this offer down as I do not want one additional Arab President to recognize Israel let alone Israel as Jewish State since this will be a precedent. I also hope this peace process goes down the drain as who cares for the West Bank and sh***y Gaza?! We were kicked out of Jaffa and Haifa and to it we shall return.. Turn it down I beg you!

You´re crazy
16. TO NO 14
igor ,   Toronto canada   (02.10.14)
Jews should claim right of return to Mecca, Medina. Applying your Arab logic to the refugee problem, Jews would be within their rights to demand to return to Mecca and Medina.

zionist forever   (02.10.14)
The stupid Europeans funded the construction of Yasser Arafat airport in Gaza now just looks like are going to build another no doubt the EU with all its financial troubles will also fund the sea port, the second airport in Gaza and the train to Egypt as the arabs never pay their own bills.

You always show your fear of facts. Keep posting. Their good for a laugh.

20. International Humanitarian Progress.
Zechariah   (02.10.14)
Well there will be a minimal right of return to Israel no matter what anyone proclaims The American troops In the Jordan valley will have Many Jews including ex israels with Pure US citizenship and as Ultimate Internationalists with Nationality and Tribalism being a temporary stagnation in progression peace in a five hundred years.
21. A logical location for the 2nd WB Airport
Lynx ,   Palestine   (02.10.14)
A strategic location would be the Jenin area in the Northern West Bank. The Turks are investing in a large industrial city near the city, and the large tracts of flat farmland would add to the lucrative cargo catchment area, for produce, etc. Separately the airport could also serve as an alternative export airport for industries based in the lower Galilee, relieving congestion at Lod Airport. The possibilities for partnership are endless.
22. NO to all "Palestinian" demands.
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.10.14)
Palestine is fictional and EVERYTHING built in Judea and Samaria belongs to Israel. I suspect Bibi will soon be replaced by an Israeli P.M. who will have no trouble telling "Palestinians" what to do with their demands.
23. Nice place to land Iranian warplanes...
David ,   Hartford USA   (02.10.14)
If the PA can't show that it is a peaceful organization that can be trusted, why in the world would anyone even consider letting them operate an 'international' airport? This is just another step in Arafat's multi-decade plan to eradicate Israel.
24. Impose total boycott on Fictional Palestine.
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.10.14)
No work permits or entry permits to Israel. No Israeli food, materials, medicine, money, electricity. NOTHING for our mortal foes of Fictional Palestine. "Palestinians" started the boycotts. Nothing would be more just than for Israel to end the fiction of "Palestine" through boycotts.
25. They get over confdent what peace process give them
Jason ,   Monsy USA   (02.10.14)
For all Abbas know going fail. Israel neccery give want.
26. Israel MUST say NO to that madness !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (02.10.14)
27. Tax all Israeli flights coming in and out of the EU and use
Andi Ali ,   England   (02.10.14)
the money to fund palestinian air and sea ports. Call it an occupation tax. If Israel stops the building of these projects....increase the tax.
28. Amman has an excellent palestinien airport !
trump   (02.10.14)
29. A lovely looking Airport!
Claude ,   Cape Town & London   (02.10.14)
Looking more carefully at the photo mock up it appears to have some text in Ivrit. Is this the name if the Israeli architect and construction company? The runway or maybe its a taxi way is immediately opposite the terminal at 90 degrees to the main building . Not a very desirable location!
30. To: No. 14
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.11.14)
It's good to wake up every morning as though your hair were on fire. Douse it with the Kool-Aid and pay attention: There could have been a "Palestinian" state in 1947. But the "Palestinians" rejected partition -- it was bitter enough a pill to swallow for the Jewish people, in view of the fact that all of the land was promised to the Jewish people, but we accepted partition. You chose to go to war -- and lost. Lost five more times, too. Believe it or not, "Palestinians" are not magically exempt from the dictum that to the victor (Israel) belong the spoils of war. You are the vanquished, and you get only that which Israel may generously bestow upon you. If you don't like it -- feel free to leave at any time. You add nothing to the State of Israel except violence and terror. And you will NEVER return to Jaffa or Haifa, because you left voluntarily. We don't have to take you back and we have no intention of doing so. Learn from your mistakes, can't you? Stop waiting for the world to fix your problems. Everyone has grown pretty gosh-darned tired of "Palestinian" whining and bleating and endless complaining. You started -- and lost -- six wars. You have engaged in nearly a century of unremitting violence and terror, visited against Jews both in the State of Israel and in the Diaspora. No more bites at the apple; you are a vanquished people. Deal with it and move on.
