1. Occupied or Unified
Max ,   Washington DC   (06.19.14)
After thousands of years of foreign invaders Jerusalem. the Capital of Israel is Unified. Australia is a Free Country and is not afraid to speak the truth. The Arabs have 99.9% of the Middle East. Isn't that enough?

Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (06.19.14)

6. a very raw nerve for 1.5 b. Muslims
tiki ,   belgium   (06.19.14)
Is telling the truth about Muslims! So, it's better for your health & wallet to agree with their lies than be 'brave' and tell the truth about their lies, incitement, inhuman behaviour, stupidity & blackmail. Once the lie takes over, humanity flies out the door!
7. #2
Harold ,   USA   (06.19.14)
If Australia listen to you, its economy goes to the drains. Australia is not in a position to stop trading with 1.6 Billion Muslims. Wise-up
8. To: No. 3
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.19.14)
And you know this because your magic 8-ball told you, right? Still waiting for you to elaborate upon your "first-hand knowledge" and "personal experience" with respect to a United States airlift of Iraqi Jews in 1948 which never took place. Please don't keep us in suspense any longer! Do enlighten us as to the details of this non-existent airlift. Your hold on reality is tenuous at best, Harold. Sanctions on Australia? Of the lip service variety only -- if that. Wise up.
9. 2 state solution not required
James ,   USA   (06.19.14)
I would rather return 80% of the disputed territories to Jordan keeping all of Jerusalem and land required for security (which should be annexed). That solves everything in my mind. The remaining pals get to have Israeli citizenship or can escape to Jordanian land. Same deal with gaza, give it to eygpt.
10. Dear Harold #3
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (06.19.14)
Australia is still begging but sanctions on her will be imposed soon. Like you they won't amount to anything.

(06.19.14)
the entire arab league and all arab countries imposed a trade moratorium and trade sanctions on israel SINCE 1948....and look what israel has achieved so far!!!!!! THERE IS STILL NO TRADE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND MOST ARAB COUNTRIES EXCEPT JORDAN AND EGYPT (MINIMAL ANYWAY) AND ISRAEL, AND NOT THEM!!!! has been indicted into the oecd as a developed nation. NONE OF THE BOYCOTTERS ARE IN THE OECD. so, despite the total trade boycott by all arab nations, israel SURPASSED THEM BY MILLIONS OF YEARS AHEAD, FORGED TIES WITH EUROPE, LATIN AMERICA, THE EAST, CHINA, EASTERN EUROPE, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, AFRICA, ETC... ETC.... AND ITS TRADE IS IN THE BILLIONS. NOT TO MENTION THE BRAIN POWER AND INVENTIONS COMING OUT OF ISRAEL IS HIGH TECH, IN MEDICINE, IN CHEMISTRY, PHARMACOLOGY, LAZER AND IT TECHNOLOGY, SPACE TECHNOLOGY, MILITARY, ETC... the arabs can only dream of being as successful as israel in all the above.....with all their boycotts on israel. THEY NEVER WORKED. AND THEY WILL NOT WORK AGAINST AUSTRALIA EITHER. you know why???? the arabs are backwards, uneducated sand diggers that never produced anything or given the world anything remotely useful. even the oil in their territories has to be dug out by the europeans and americans. they do not know how to do this and how to refine. so, lay off your predictions. you're a total idiot.

arne ,   chicago usa   (06.19.14)
I don't think either one of those countries would want that deal. Would You?
13. Israel Should Not Use the Word "Occupied"
Tova ,   Canada   (06.19.14)
Israel must say Israel. Must not say Occupied - it defeats her. It's misleading - as if the land was taken. The Land of Israel was never Occupied - It was and always will be The Promised Land - Not for Muslins or the Islamic demonic religion. Australia is correct is saying Judea-Sumaria. The world Occupied is Islamic propogands. like Nazism, communism and so on. Israel must not say occupied. They must say settlements. This is and always will be Israel.
