1. There is only a little pb IT IS NOT YOURS.
Ali   (02.21.14)
2. This tiny land is ours. No more B.S.
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.21.14)
We are not going to cede our sole 4,000 year old Homeland in the name of Fictional Palestine. Let us proclaim that loud and clear. No more B.S.
3. "Palestinians" are Egyptians & Jordanians, send them THERE!
Robert Blum ,   New Albany, USA   (02.21.14)
Livni is the classic myopic leftist, self-hating Jew, in trhat she is not religious and despises the legitimate claims of Israel since out eternal gift was presented to us by Ha'Shem, which even the Muslim's Qoran acknowledges as legitimate! I wish that she and her like-minded destroyers of Israel would go live the Gaza, which the leftist Sharon gave Islam when he destroyed Gush Kativ, making hundreds of thousands of Jewish people homeless, and daming the Israeli economy and putting Sderot and Ashkelon in harms way, as the Muslims have fired about 11,000 rockets into those Israeli populations.
4. Wonderful! That's the spirit.
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!! ,   United States   (02.21.14)

LOL! Dearest Ali, here you are wrong! It is ours since times as even your "Ever Mercy" decided!

Rau   (02.21.14)
You have been saying this for over 60 years. I just took a look at the world map and it shows this piece of land is not within the line the state of israel .
7. Send Palestinians to Egypt, birth place of Yasser Arafat
Scott ,   Haifa   (02.21.14)
Father of the 'Palestinian' cause. P.S. Jesus is not a palestinian for the record, he's a Zionist: Joel 3:2 I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land. Zechariah 12:3 And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it.

What are you building in the United States??
9. So a bi-national state it is?
Daniel   (02.21.14)
So these people are for a bi-national state then? There's a problem, you see. The Jordan Valley is not part of Israel, not one country in the world thinks it is. And no, not one country in the world thinks that how borders looked 2000 years ago has the slightest relevance. Only loons would think that. Should we seriously redraw all borders to how the looked a few millennia ago?
10. Yes but.....
Mike ,   Rishon le Zion   (02.21.14)
When Levin puts to one side his childish little dreams and looks at reality in the face there is a different picture. A picture which includes occupation, boycotts, international isolation and all sorts of interesting challenges. Then what will he do? Carry on bleating that the world is against him and his ilk? And what about the simple demographics? If you reject the scenario of a 2 state solution then DE FACTO you are accepting the role of controlling another people without giving them any rights, and also the inevitable fact that your people will very soon be in a minority in the area from the river to the sea.
11. #1, nothing is yours in Middle East other than Mecca
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (02.21.14)
12. #2, 5 & 3 - If the land is yours, then . . .
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (02.21.14)
Annex it and give every human west of the Jordan River FULL Israeli citizenship just like the US has done with all the land it acquired from Native Americans, Russia, Spain, Mexico, England, France, etc. Quite being cowards and do it. BTW - there is no way the USA or any other country on earth will let Israel "deport" any humans from west of the Jordan River. If Israel tries it, Israelis will be shocked at how fast and terrible the retribution from the entire world will be. Dual passport People will be leaving Israel overnight by the millions rather than suffer the retribution.
13. Arabs need perpetual bloodshed to justify Greater Arabia
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (02.21.14)
14. Levin-run to head likud
alexi   (02.21.14)
this levin is a new face on the scene. he has principles. likud if bibi's appeal is rejected should take measures to throw him out and replace him with Levin as head of likud. if lapid wants to go to elections- good-he will be cut in half at the very least and livni will be almost wiped out. Labour may improve but herzog is a naive weakling who israelis would be stupid to trust. As for meretz supporters, israelis will have to die off before meretz is wiped out as they represent the fearful habers and beilins. i mean how did barak and rabin allow beilin to lead foreign policy-it is just unbeleivable.
15. It is not yours
steve gure ,   coconut creek usa   (02.21.14)
Even if what you are saying is true which I doubt. It now belongs to Israel. When one chooses to attack and than loses, there must be cosequences and this is one of them.
16. #12- Jaasusguy
Erez   (02.21.14)
World didn´t lift a finger when 1 million jews were expelled from arab countries and you´re daydreaming if you think they will lift a finger in your defense. It´s all a game of smoke and mirrors but if Israel decides not to be a lemming and takes our destiny in our hands you´re lost. There´s one thing left to be done : finish our part of population transfer by expelling every illegal fakestinian arab "human" settler out of the Land of Israel.
17. #12, how is the land yours, it belongs to Native Americans
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (02.21.14)
18. Another piece of cake auntie Olga?
Non Jewish immigrant ,   Italy/Israel   (02.21.14)
Option 1: Israel annexes the West Bank and de facto every single resident becomes an Israeli citizen. There are more Muslims in the West Bank than Jews meaning that the Muslim population will grow up significantly and talking about Israel as a Jewish state will be irrelevant. Option 2: Israel annexes the West Bank but refuses to provide equal rights to the Palestinians (ie non Jews). Israel becomes automatically an apartheid state. Rightist MPs are obviously a bunch of lunatics
19. #12 spy guy:
moshe ,   Tivon, Israel   (02.21.14)
#12 spy guy you wrote "acquired" YES: the USA used military armed forces against Mexico to "acquire" the states: California, New Mexico, Texas -------------------------- YES ! USA used military armed forces against England to "acquire" the states: Deleware, Pennstlvania New Jersey, Georgia Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, Nortn Carolina ---------------------- At least the Jewish people have a historic amd LEGITIMATE claim to the land of Israel. moshe
20. # 9
michael Oren ,   Seattle, Wa   (02.21.14)
Yes, very good idea!
21. #17 does NOT understand US history
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (02.21.14)
While Europeans did invade and brutally take the land just like Israelis, the BIG difference is the US made every human in the defined boundaries of the US a FULL citizen who can live anywhere they want in the US and be protected by the law equally. If Israel wants to follow the US example, then make every humans west of the Jordan River a full citizen and treat them all EQUALLY, including compensating all of the Arabs for the brutal past (which the US has also done).
22. #5
Harold ,   USA   (02.21.14)
#1 Ali and #6 Rau are right and try to believe them. You cannot comment against reality and please yourself. 1949 borders are the Israeli's borders. Period.
23. to no 6
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (02.21.14)
We not "saying".. The factual truth is, that the hills of Judea and Samaria were discovered & populated by Jews, over 3000 years before Christianity, let alone Islam (880AD)...Israel has deliberated our ancient sovereign hills of Judea& Samaria over defensive wars... Apparently, Rau, you have found a map,you were searching for... But History doesn't lie, only people do...You need to learn some true history on the subject of your argument, before you judge...
24. The empire of Alexander the Great was huge and collapsed.
Michael ,   California, USA   (02.21.14)
25. enough with israeli insolence
matteo dagostino ,   veglie italy   (02.21.14)
enough with israeli insolence. enough with israeli oppression. enough with israeli dominance. enough with israeli occupation. israel, stop the oppression.
26. # 8 What am I building?
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!! ,   United States   (02.21.14)
An inheritance for my children and Grandchildren. How about you? BUILDING IS WINNING !!!
27. #24, is so right. Million sqm Greater Arabia will collapse.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (02.21.14)
28. 2 states, Greater Israel, 6M Jews, Greater Arabia,350M Arabs
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (02.21.14)
29. #24, right. Huge Arab states are collapsing now.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (02.21.14)
30. #14. Feiglin should lead Likud. He NEVER backs down.
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.21.14)
Likud definitely needs a new leader. I believe Moshe Feiglin is the best choice.Throughout many years, Feiglin has consistently done the right things for Israel. Moreover, he NEVER backs down under pressure. That is exactly the kind of P.M. Israel needs. Pressure is a mobster tactic and Israel must stand up to it.
