1. That 87% of "Palestinians" ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.29.14)
... need to understand that they will be making their appeal to the United Nations from their new homes in Jordan. Just so we're clear. That's a factor that should be part of their computation.
2. Israel will simply withdraw from Pal areas
Joe Fraser ,   Canada   (03.29.14)
Just like it did from Gaza. Pals can then gayen cacken offen yam arein.
3. Annex Like Russia
ACortez ,   USA   (03.29.14)
And be done with it...
4. The UN is a farce of global proportions
Joe Fraser ,   Canada   (03.29.14)
Resolutions of the GA are not worth the paper they are written on, and UNSC resolutions are vetoed by one of the members if it is of any importance.
5. Stupid concessions
albert snow ,   sweden   (03.29.14)
That ´s what you get from muslims when you give without demanding something in return. Releasing prisoners ought to have been included in a peace agreement and not as a goodwill gesture for having the PA negotiate. Netanyahu and his government fell into a trap and got fooled of both Kerry and Abbas!! The result for Israel is: Many murderurs free to commit new crimes, no peaceagreement, and the PA going to UN for recognition. Bad bad reslultl!!
6. Yeah no1 dream on
(03.29.14)
The world supported the nation of Palestine on November 2012 and they will support it again. You played, you lost, now assume it
7. Instead of talking about the release of mass murderers, the
N.L.Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (03.29.14)
Arabs ought to talk about peace, of course. But, peaceful coexistence between Arab and Jew, between the Muslim-Arabs world, local and regional alike, and the liberal democratic and sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people which ought to be their interest of course, is not even mentioned. In fact, these very Arabs who are so eager to see the murderers of Jews release, refuse to even accept Israel's right to be, to exist as the sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people, so why release convicted mass murderers...??
8. So what?
Sidney ,   USA   (03.29.14)
Remember the help that the UN gave Israel in 1948 when the Arab countries invaded Israel in violation of the UN decision. They even embargoed arms for Israel to defend itself. In 1967, Nasser chased the UN out and closed the Strait of Tiran. The Russian ambassador to the UN said "What crisis"?
9. To negotiate is to give and take
AD ,   Toronto, Canada   (03.29.14)
Something the Palestinians don't comprehend. All they want is take, take, take. Well, enough is enough! If they are serious about having a state of their own and ending the conflict once and for all, they need to start giving as well. Soooo, if they want to go to the U.N., so be it! For every action there is an equal or greater reaction and they will also have to suffer the consequences. They never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
10. UN Bid
James ,   USA   (03.29.14)
The UN does not grant anything nor do they have the military or economic backing to enforce anything. This is an exercise that goes nowhere as Israel's response will be fierce and bring untold suffering to the palestinian occupiers. If Palestinians will not suffer Jewish rule, they will have no choice but to emigrate to an Islamic country or to pick up arms and face Israeli might. Is this what you had in mind Mr Abbas?
11. Destroy them now
Jhan   (03.29.14)
Why wait and lead to further needless maiming and deaths, do it already.
12. To: No. 6
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.29.14)
The Arabs started -- and lost -- six wars against Israel. Do you see any armies actually trying to secure Israeli-secured and Israeli-controlled land to create a "state" for the "Palestinians" that exists only in works of fiction? I don't. Assume that, sluggo. Kind of hard to build an actual state when you don't have land on which to build. They can have Gaza. Should be interesting to see what happens; five million people crammed into that cesspool. I wonder what they'll do for building materials. I wonder what they'll do for fresh water. I wonder what they'll do for jobs. I wonder how they'll support themselves. Yeah, I really hope the "Palestinians" go to the United Nations. April 29, the whole stupid charade ends. Israel will annex Judea and Samaria, and the United Nations will do what the United Nations did when Russia annexed Crimea -- a whole lot of nothing but meaningless words. The "nation of 'Palestine'" sounds better than "Gaza." Do you suppose they'll change the name?
13. #6. Why Fictional Palestine is toast.
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.29.14)
Israel could end the flow of Israeli food, money, medicine, materials, electricity to Fictional Palestine any time. And hopefully will very soon. At that point Fictional Palestine is toast. Not a shot need be fired. "Palestinians" would flee our land in droves.
14. #6: Dream on. You'll never get Judea&Samaria.
GS ,   Germany   (03.29.14)
15. #6 You
GS ,   Germany; Israel   (03.29.14)
already had your chance in 1947: YOU BLEW IT. / So, dream on. And give up.
16. Tonight, me and my Meretz friends
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv / London   (03.29.14)
plan to particularly worship our beloved master Abbas' pics!
17. As I read comments of Sarah B from U.S.A.
Jarda ,   Czech Republic   (03.29.14)
I almost began to doubt, that "Jews are unsociable, any coexistence with them is impossible" is only a medieval anti-semitic statement.
18. American Indians signed away land for beads, Palestine won't
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.29.14)
19. It is all a charade
Arnold-Canada ,   Montreal   (03.29.14)
Abbas will take his 104 released prisoners, look Bibi straight in the face and will say "thanks sucker" . See you the next go around.
20. pals 'support terror, assassinations, teen suicide'
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (03.29.14)
honor killings, stoning's, no wonder the Arab Spring is now the eternal Arab Spring. Looks like only the Jews in Israel have real freedom while the sons of Ismael have real war Moses, thanks for "Let my people go." Now, GO AND BUILD !!!!
21. #17 "Jews are not in danger...
GS ,   Germany   (03.29.14)
in Prague," I thought. Until historian Jiri Fidler and his wife were killed recently. (Antisemitism? Who knows.) This changed my mind about the Czech Republik within a second.
22. #21
Jarda ,   Czech Republic   (03.29.14)
And the same is valid about the statement "Jews are liars".
23. Crimea now in Truce State
Zechariah   (03.29.14)
Crimea is now in a Truce State no war no peace and the USA Russia the EU and Ukraine still are Talking .The Justification for the Jews is Greater because the Arabs backed by Islam prevented refugee of millions of Jews to not only to British Mandated Palestine but also Islam Lands through Turkey .Millions could have of be saved Genocide.Even if the Palestinians obtain settlement for seventy percent of Judae and Samariah they will refuse because the IDF will have to be in the International force that Sringently keeps the Peace .
24. waht bloody weakling offers concessions just to talk
hy   (03.29.14)
Bibi is so bloody weak, he is becoming a laughing stock. he gives gifts to abbas for sitting and saying no to israel recognition of jewish state and no to jordan valley. the hard truth of the matter is that bibi is not far from olmert, a bloody coward who talks big but does not deliver, who is afraid to say no to kerry for himself but blames it on bennett and half of likud led by danon. look at bibi's military record and you will find the reasons for why bibi is so bloody scared.
25. #22 Whatever
GS ,   Germany   (03.29.14)
I don't mind. You gave me another reason to visit Praha again. And I will speak about the beauty of the State of Israel. / Here is one for you: YouTube, Ari Goldwag, Am Echad - One Nation. (Enjoy).
26. #25
Jarda ,   Czech Republic   (03.29.14)
Will you speak about Sarah B as well?
27. 22.
Birdi ,   Israel is ours.   (03.29.14)
That's quite ok you creep. You can have your opinion, we however, dont need to agree with you. Jews are the greatest people on earth. You dont like us? then get off this website which is owned by your favourite people, yes, us, the lovely Jewish people who live in their beloved country called Israel.
28. #26 Answer: No, I wouldn't.
GS ,   Germany   (03.30.14)
And now 'Layla tov'/ Good Night over there (not cynic - it's late over here) with a very nice song to show you the beauty of Israel acoustic: YouTube, Moshe Peretz + Agam Buhbut, "Yalda ktana". (ahoi).
29. #17 As I read comments of Jarda, Czech Republic
A ,   Belgium   (03.29.14)
I almost begin to believe that the idea of a European Union was a mistake, and that the former communists of Eastern Europe would be better off seeking their fortunes with Czar Putin instead of flooding Western Europe with their criminals.
30. American Indians signed away land for beads, Arabs keep oil
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.30.14)
