1. "secret diplomatic plan"
jo b ,   israel   (09.02.14)
sounds like the usual palestinian plan.. that is demands, demands, and more demands and if israel doesnt give them everything in return for nothing than threats threats and more threats. i read the entire article (and plenty of others) and i have yet to see a single thing the palestinians "give" in return except maybe agreeing to not blow up our buses and pizza stores- that is of course for only those terrorists they immediately control and dispatch themselves. but hey if kerry and the europeans agrees to it, it must be a fair deal...
2. End the B.S. Claim Judea & Samaria. It is ours!
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.02.14)
The time is long overdue to put an end to Fictional Palestine and it's B.S. one and for all. Judea and Samaria has belonged to Jews for more than 4,000 years. Palestine is a completely fictional state. Israel MUST have a P.M. with the guts to claim our land.
3. Chuckle ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.02.14)
Oh, we will "withdraw" the Arabs from Judea and Samaria long before then ... Sooner rather than later. Enough of the poison dwarf and his threats. Time for him to get a grasp on reality. Israel is not going to relinquish a single centimeter of Judea and Samaria. Abbas has two choices: he can accept repatriation to Jordan or he can build his mythical state in Gaza. The only war crimes in Gaza were committed by Hamas. Moreover, the ICC has absolutely no jurisdiction over Israel or any of its officials, because Israel is not a signatory to the Rome Treaty which established the ICC. Neither, by the way, is the United States. I guess both Israel and the United States recognize a kangaroo court when they see one. But Abbas' constant gum-flapping is growing quite tiresome. And it is decidedly not the place of a terrorist rabble to threaten a sovereign state. We can make life very difficult for the "palestinians" in Judea and Samaria. We can also arrest Abbas for his role in the massacre of eleven Israeli athletes in Munich in 1972. There is no statute of limitations upon murder. Abbas needs to keep that in mind.

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.02.14)
No, it doesn't. It means that Israel will annex Judea and Samaria and, in order to keep her eastern border with Jordan calm, will send all West Bank Arabs to Gaza, where they can work on their fictional state in pure peace and harmony, just the way Arabs always do things. Israel is not going to tolerate terrorist enclaves both east and west. We've exited Gaza; the "palestinians" can have it. At least until the missiles fly. Then, the "palestinians" will lose Gaza, too. The Norwegians, who are spearheading the rebuilding of Gaza have already stated that they will not fund anything but a demilitarized Gaza. So the "unity government" in Gaza will have to make a choice -- they can live like vermin in a Gaza in ruins, or they can accept disarmament gracefully and learn what it takes to REALLY build a thriving state, and receive economic aid in order to achieve it. Arabs being Arabs, my money is on the former -- they will never accept demilitarization. But since that is the West's quid pro quo, they can continue to live like rats in a sewer, and waste the next seven decades. The international community has more important issues on the table, most prominent of which is ISIS. To deal with that threat, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the oil producing Gulf states need Israel to protect them. So does Jordan. The "palestinians" waited too long. They should have taken the deal in 1947. They should have taken the deal in 2000, which would have given them 95 percent of the West Bank and East Jerusalem as a capital. In 1947, they opted to go to war. In 2000, they opted to start an intifada. There is no cure for the terminally stupid.
5. they are the ones who just lost a war and now demand?
tell em to STFU ,   and finish war   (09.02.14)
6. There will be an evacuation of the West Bank...
milwaukeebroad ,   Haifa, Israel   (09.02.14)
...but the Israeli troops won't be the ones leaving.
7. Never was or will be a palestinian state.
BUILD BY BUILD !!!!   (09.02.14)
Take that to the bank.
8. pals are welcome to move to Saudi arabia or Iran
BUILD BY BUILD !!!!   (09.02.14)
any place but Israel, it's taken and owned by the Jews!
9. Security Council failure
Sidney ,   USA   (09.02.14)
It isn't doing anything to protect the borders of Ukraine. Why Israel?
10. What we hear coming from our General Staff is frightening,if
(09.02.14)
one is to believe last article by Caroline Glick and there's no reason to doubt her sources! Nobody at the helm, nobody in the kitchen, nobody at the Fire Station: SCARY!!!! God loves Islam, it seems.
11. Arab Occupation of the Land of Israel Must End
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (09.02.14)
We demand that the illegal Arab occupation of our ancient, G-d given, Land of Israel come to an immediate end. All Arab cities must be evacuated immediately to make room for the several million immigrant Jews who will be coming to settle in Israel in the next few years. If the Arabs fail to heed our demands, they will compel us to evict them to the new Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, any European city they want or Dearborn, Michigan.
12. Withdrawal from the Westbank
Annika ,   Tel Aviv   (09.02.14)
I cant believe what I read. How can we even consider withdrawal?! Just for the palestinians to create a new warzone with tunnels and ramps for rockets? The palestinian people cant stand up for themselves and their leaders have nothing else in their mind but destroy Israel.
13. Abbas And His Terrorist PA Will Withdraw Within 3 Years
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (09.02.14)
They chose war instead of a Judenrein state time and again. They will have no state here in OUR land. We need to send the PLO back to Tunis ASAP. Then there can be peace.
14. The PA has ABSOLUTELY NO INTENTION OF MAKING PEACE!
Riva ,   Israel   (09.02.14)
NONE, NADA! NO way, it's gonna happen! We can see how these Arabs reacted during the Hamas war in which they ALSO became extremely violent to Israel! And then, when polled, these arabs DO NOT WANT ABAS! they want Hamas, the TERRORIST LEADERS! So, if we have not learned our lessons from Gaza, let's review! give land to Arabs, they build a Terrorist base with which to launch a full scale war on Israel! THAT'S the sort of "piece" they want with Israel!
15. To: FB Wes Sesniak, a/k/a split
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.02.14)
The Arabs, generally, have zero record of peaceful co-existence with anyone that isn't just as primitive as they are. The ersatz "palestinians" cannot even get along with fellow Arabs. They have been kicked out of Jordan, kicked out of Lebanon, kicked out of Tunisia, kicked out of Oman, kicked out of Muscat, kicked out of Abu Dhabi, kicked out of Dubai and kicked out of Kuwait. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia allows them entry only for purposes of haj, and then they must leave within 48 hours or risk arrest. But thank you for unwittingly pointing out exactly why the Jewish people have been restored to their historical homeland. The Jews have always been subject to suspicion and hatred for absolutely no reason other than people have always been jealous of our accomplishments. And the fact that our IQ is, on average, 30 points higher than the next closest identifiable group -- "Asians" is the broad category, but that necessarily subdivides. It really frosts your panties, doesn't it, that tiny Israel, battling such overwhelming odds, is in the forefront of so many fields. And that although we represent a tiny fraction of the world's population, we are so dominant in so many areas. It's not the result of any subterfuge. We're just smarter than everyone else. We know it, and everyone else knows it. Except you. But you have the perfect excuse -- you're a Polack. No one expects very much of anything from you and, I must say, thus far, you haven't failed to meet our expectations.

When is India planning to withdraw from the Kashmir, which it occupies illegally? Clean up your own house first, chica, before worrying about mine.
17. What part of we won it in 67 don't. You understand?

18. who is afraid of the big bad wolf
CJK   (09.02.14)
the totalitarian genocidal terrorists of isis have just beheaded a second american. they have been beheading, raping and forcibly converting all peoples in their captured territories. women and children are carted away as sex slaves. obama will most likely agree to support the arab muslims in their little tantrum. the man is totally irresponsible and detached from reality. he turned lybia into a failed state full of jihadists and he did the same with iraq and syria. it is obvious that obama would not hesitate to turn the territory of the west bank into another jihadist haven. the sinai has also become a jihadi haven since obama's support of the muslim brotherhood. the american base near israel's border in the sinai has also been attacked by jihadists. israel must reject all attempts to the creation of another muslim jihadi state on her eastern territories regardless of the cost in diplomacy.
19. 3 years,then what about the elections?
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (09.02.14)
It's a mystery to me how these Fatah cronies can settle on a new 3 year program AND be serious about holding the long,long overdue PA and 'Presidential' elections in the near future. The ONLY way these tyrants can be sure of carrying out their program is by delaying elections for another 3 years or more. To me it all looks like another ploy by Abbas and his cronies to remain an unelected,self-serving dictatorship for an unlimited time. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
20. one state
john ,   toronto   (09.02.14)
There is going to be only one state . Now the only thing left to decide is who is going to be the prime minister of the state. There is no place for 2 states in such a small place. And there cannot be 3 prime ministers for the place. One leader is enough for the state.
21. This "plan" requires US Congress to cut allaid to the PA
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego, USA   (09.02.14)
And to bar PLO representatives from US soil. And to recognize J'lem as capital of Israel and only Israel and move the US Israel embassy to Jerusalem. Laws passed by Congress include all of these mandatory provisions if the US President fails to certify to Congress every 6 months that the PLO is negotiating a peace agreement in good faith with israel. A non-negotiable ultimatum of this sort is not "good faith negotiations", so unless Obama chooses to lie to Congress [an impeachable offense], this plan would bring an end to the PA. And...contrary to the PLO fantasy, the US has never said the future borders should be the 1967 armistice lines, in fact, in UNSC242, it said exactly the opposite. US law also requires ending aid to and recognition of the PA if it joins forces with Hamas. So the clock is ticking already. If Abbas hasn't ended his "reconciliation" with the Israel-rejecting Hamas rocketocracy by the time hehas this meeting with Obama, there will be nothing to talk about - under binding US law.
22. I MUST HAVE A BAD DREAM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (09.02.14)
Abbas & Kerry & Obama are FINISHED !
23. Lost Israel-
Robert Evans ,   Hilo-Hawaii U.S.   (09.03.14)
It is time to tell all the dogoodere to get lost all they are doing is helping to souround Israel and kill her. Tell Erekat and Abbas to bug out and get lost. This turning the cheek is past.
24. 4ROFLFictional Jews calling Palestinians 'Fictional"
lydia ,   Brisbane   (09.03.14)
Your delusion is fathomless. Est. Euro squatters who descended on Palestine in droves can't call the people who have lived, worshiped and traded on their land for centuries 'fictional'. If you need Biblical affiliation to claim rights you have lost the battle of intelligence.
25. 15Deluded 1 Israel just begged for a peace treaty
lydia ,   Brisbane   (09.03.14)
The missiles were zeroing on Tel Aviv despite Israel Nazi tactics of targeting unarmed civilians. Al Nusra a hair's breath away though armed and trained by Israel not unlike but like ISIS will show your lot little loyalty
26. "Abbas demands" LOL
BUILD BY BUILD !!!!   (09.03.14)
only loser Abbas 'demands' no one takes this old fart seriously, the pals and all else know he and Mashal are two cons vying for position and that only for the $$ they can keep stealing in the names of the pals they don't know. Thank G-d there is NO palestine just nearly desolate Gaza and, even that wouldn't be possible had Israel not given Gaza to inbred lunatics incapable of even the slightest thought of peace and prosperity for the pals. Demand this... kiss my Jewish tuchas.! KEEP BUILDING !!!

"G-d loves Islam it seems'? 200,000 dead Islamic Syrians, Arab Springs all over the Muslim world, Africa, ISIS assassinations and beheadings and you say such a foolish thing? Where do you store what's left of your limited brain power? Take a look around you and smell the destruction and implosion of Islam. Look no further than Gaza.
29. # 24 Silly girl....
BUILD BY BUILD !!!!   (09.03.14)
'If you need the Koran to claim rights you have lost the battle of intelligence.' There is NO palestine There is, was, and shall always be an ISRAEL BABY !!! And.... Israel's BUILDING !!!!! Gaza is a temporary cesspool and blight and tribute to the combined idiocy and futility of the fictitious pals and their savage, barbaric lower than scum 'leaders' Hamas and Fatah.
