31. Jewish National Home
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (02.27.14)
The balfour declaration and the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine speak of a Jewish National Home or what we would call today a Jewish State. Initially Britain left both sides of the Jordan as the possible site of the Jewish state, but Churchill then gave 77% to form the Arab Kingdom of Jordan on the East Bank on condition the British-appointed King of Jordan recognise the Jewish National Home on the West Bank from the River Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea. See Sir Martin Gilbert, 'Churchill and The Jews' [Simon and Schuster 2007]
32. Another 9 months
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (02.27.14)
By my reckoning,9 months from 29/4/14 takes us to 29/1/15.GREAT!! By the end of January next year a NEW European Commission will have been in place for nearly 3 months and it's going to be a lot different o the present gang of fellow travellers.Obama,Kerry and their cronies won't have anybody to cover their backs any more. Spin it out,spin it out and we'll see how brave the PA and Kerry are when they find themselves standing and blustering by themselves.I'm convinced that this is the real reason why Kerry and Obama have suddenly got into a rush to push things along. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!

You did not understand anything dummy
35. #29
Yossi   (02.27.14)
Don't bother talking about passports. They will be slaughtered and your anti-Israel propaganda will have contributed to it, just like your silence did during the shoah...
36. #30. Israel grows stronger & richer each year.
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.27.14)
#30. BDS is a pathetic failure by pathetic racists like yourself, trying to redeem their failed lives by demonizing others. Israel grows stronger and richer each year.
37. Stop this charade now
Mike ,   Malmo, Sweden   (02.27.14)
The two state solution has failed. Annex whatever we need from the disputed territories, establish a defensible border, seal it off and throw away the key. Leave what's east of it for Jordan to care for. Within short they will have to occupy, annex or whatever they would like to call it. Problem solved. International pressure? The only reason there is international pressure is because Israel fears it. Fear not and it will disappear.
38. Kerry offers Bei Hanina as "Pals" cap.
Ezra ,   Florida   (02.27.14)
And I offer them Boston. That will be the best capital for the "Long frustrated Palestinians". After all, Boston has already experienced the Muslim violence last year. Way to go, Johnny boy.
39. #30 "The world wants to isolate Israel"
A ,   Belgium   (02.27.14)
Germany just cancelled a $1.3 BILLION deal to buy American made drones, they are now negotiating with Israel to buy Israeli drones.
40. 36 The Palestinian will have reparations
lydia ,   Brisbane   (02.28.14)
65Y of land thievery and mass murder racks up a tidy sum for the illegal occupiers.
