1. Good riddance...
Lynx ,   Palestine   (03.04.14)
Hopefully our brethren in Gaza will do as their brothers in Egypt and Ukraine and get rid of Hamas' theocratic, religion-based rule. All religion-based rule and politics cannot serve the pragrmatic needs of the people and as such, both Hamas and the self-proclaimed Jewish state of Israel can go to another planet to impose their rule. We in Palestine want a plural, all inclusive system of democracy, and we will have it.
2. idf should do what putin did in crimea
marv   (03.04.14)
taking a nod from egypt, rather than soft responses from bibi, it should chop gaza ini 3 sections and knock off the hamas leadership and eliminate hamas just as putin did in crimea. Enough with the agonizingly slow olmert style responses. Attack on israeli soverignty with even 1 rocket is the justification for removal of hamas from power once and for all. The inhabitants can either be quiet and neigbourly or leave-end of story. US assurances and guarantees are bloody worthless.

Paragraph 3 of your post contradicts paragraph 2.
4. When Adar arrives .. .
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (03.04.14)
Thank G-d. If the Egyptians stop helping Hamas terrorists we may see a realistic settlement. When Adar [Sheni] arrives rejoicing increases.

If only the Palestinian aspirations were as pure as you suggest - the conflict would've been over long time ago. Perhaps it would be a good idea if the Jews had to go to a different planet - Mars preferably, because as I understand Muslims have been prohibited from going there and that way they would not be able to suggest that Mars is "Occupied Territory" and the Jews could finally live in peace :-)

Then shouldn't you have an election?

8. 1 - you want to live in a democracy but abbas is press
zionist forever   (03.04.14)
" We in Palestine want a plural, all inclusive system of democracy, and we will have it " Lets assume for a moment there was a real entity called Palestine (( which there isn't ) and you want an all inclusive system of democracy its sure not what you have now. Aftef the last election when Fatah lost to Hamas there were gun battles and people were being thrown off rooftops because Fatah couldn't accept they no longer had a right to rule. As soon as Hamas took Gaza Abbas illegally kicked Hamas out of all institutions of government. Abbas his presidency was supposed to have ended about 3 years ago but he decided unilaterally to put elections on hold indefinitely. Abbas is an illegitimate president if you want democracy.
9. Zionist Foreverr...Agreed...Abbas is illegitimate
Lynx ,   Palestine   (03.04.14)
He will be replaced soon by an elected President at least in the WB. I predict Hamas will never relinquish power peacefully..since they are backward theocratic rule with no room for tolerance let alone democratic expression.

Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist ! get real

Your enthusiasm is remarkable, in view of the fact that you are speaking of a nonexistent country -- imaginary "Palestine." Given the self-defeating obstinacy of the chattering chipmunks that present themselves as your "leadership," it will remain forever fictional. Over seven decades of unremitting violence and terror and continued threats of more violence and more terror are not really helping you. We're not going to give up any land to a terrorist rabble, and we are very definitely not interested in adding terrorists to Israel's already pluralist system of democracy. You should feel free to make your way in Jordan.
13. Al Sisi-Clear thinker!
koose E Mack ,   NY USA   (03.04.14)
Long overdue, but a great leap forward for mankind. Now if the rank and file Palestinians would do the same, there would be peace tomorrow.
14. Israel, Saudis, got Cold War dictators back, engineered coup

15. Ha ha ha, let`s see Erdogan now.....
Nora Tel Aviv   (03.04.14)
....realize his plans on Gaza.
16. Now if the puppet King of Jordan would declaire
A ,   Belgium   (03.04.14)
all Jordanian passports held by "palestinians" nul and void, accounting to more than 80% of the "palestinian" squatters who would suddenly be without a home as the invention of "palestine" is not going to happen...it would seem that the "palestinian" fantasy is about to be squeezed out of existance. Thank you, Sisi.
17. To: A at No. 16
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.05.14)
Jordan has tried, on several occasions, to revoke the Jordanian citizenship of West Bank Arabs. The ICJ has rejected all such attempts, consistently ruling that the irrevocable bestowing of Jordanian citizenship to all West Bank Arabs and their progeny (Jordan's 1954 Citizenship Law) is precisely that -- irrevocable. West Bank Arabs are Jordanian citizens. They travel on Jordanian passports. Period. Full stop. The tiny half-British, half-Iraqi king may not like it .... but he is powerless to do anything about it. Israel could repatriate West Bank Arabs to Jordan tomorrow, and Jordan would have no choice but to allow them entry. They are, after all, Jordanian citizens. General al Sisi is simply at the forefront of the next great wave that will sweep through the Arab world -- the realization that the "Palestinian" tail has wagged the Arab dog for far too long. There is much to be gained throughout the Arab world from strengthened ties to Israel, whether it be desert reclamation, modern irrigation, desalinization projects, medical advancements, information technology -- a whole host of things that are part and parcel of the twenty-first century. The "Palestinians" have played their string. Everyone is sick and tired of their violence and their manipulation. They are no longer anyone's prime concern -- the world has moved on, and the "Palestinians" have failed to avail themselves of each and every opportunity which presented itself. They are yesterday's news, and they have only themselves to blame.

Of COURSE, it's obviously not yours, Benazsi. Your alter-ego writes the truth while your own posts are anti semitic, anti Israel trash, as is the author of them.
