1. Decades Too Late Vote 1937
Zechariah   (10.14.14)
A vote for a Jewish State and A Palestinian State with a Large International Security buffer was needed in1937 certain to save Millions of Jews from Nazi Genocide and to have stopped the Palestinian Refugee Problem.Now Islam and British and French Appeasement have created an Apocolyptic Threshold .
2. Hail Brittania . . .
ASTRONAUT ,   USA   (10.14.14)
Oh, how I wish that Scotland HAD seceded from this chamber of gas-bags.
3. what a big SURPRISE...
Mohammad Ahmad ,   Ny, NY   (10.14.14)
Hey, moronic Britts- why don't you spend the energy dealing with ISIS and Londonistan. They are coming for YOU next. Your simple minded obsession with Israel only proves your inferiority complex.
4. here go the Brits defending terror
Benji   (10.14.14)
again. Do wonder how they will really deal with returning Brits from Daash.
5. paestinian state
morris ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.14.14)
you know what~ fine! let them have their own state! But not anywhere near Israel! Perhaps the U.K. would like to donate state land to them, since they so much want them to have their own state! I think it is about time for other nations to make "painful concessions"
6. It's time . . . .
Mike ,   NZ   (10.14.14)
To recognize Scotland as a fully independent state and a fully fledged member of the UN . . . and Wales should follow ! That will leave the English to enjoy the company of their new found Muslim friends and most certainly will rattle the tea cups at Westminster.
7. Apparently
Michael ,   Haifa   (10.14.14)
The Brits and the Swedes and a whole long list of other countries do not approve of Israel stealing land to build settlements.
8. Yes, absolutely correct
James   (10.14.14)
This supposedly undermines peace...but apparently the illegal settlement construction doesn't. *rolls eyes* You can't take Israel seriously anymore.
9. Michael W. @ F.B. Perfectly Said
(10.14.14)
10. Whoop di do!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.14.14)
Isn't that just splendid? Go ahead, U.K. Enforce your vote. A handful of poorly armed Jews kicked the asses of the full faith and credit British army to the curb in 1947. We sent you crying home to your mommies. We can do it again. Bring it on. Enforce your Parliamentary vote. The Jewish State humiliated you then. We can humiliate you now. Are you up for it? Fine! Bring it on. We're waiting.
11. Skoal !!! Down the hill from here ;) ,...
split ,   US   (10.14.14)
12. Giovanna Negro @ FB - "israel, when will you realise" ,...
split ,   US   (10.14.14)
Don't hold your breath that piece od wasteland where they're clicking from was set aside for folks who don't get it ,...
13. Britain is anti-Israel? What a surprise! LOL
Jake ,   USA   (10.14.14)
Israel will be a regional superpower long after Britain is plunged into the dark ages, where the evil imperialist regimes all end up.
14. Proudly brought to you from Londonistan
Etienne Prinsloo ,   Britisk Columbia CA   (10.14.14)
And the once proud Brits take yet another significant step on the road to Islamification. Britain is lost to the West and soon to civilzation. Funny how your past catches up with you is it not? France, soon to follow.
15. UK - No New News
Dan ,   Kefar Saba   (10.14.14)
Britain recognised an Arab state along side the Jewish state in 1947. In 1948, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt invaded and captured the Arab state, and attempted to capture the Jewish state. The Jews pushed them back and the states attempted to capture the Jewish state again in 1967 and were again pushed back. UK - restates what was recognised in 1947.
16. I guess the Falkland Islands will be given to Argentina?
David ,   Hartford USA   (10.14.14)
The British can be so freaking stupid. Muslims chop off United Kingdom soldier's heads in broad daylight, threaten that Islam will take over the region, and all they can decide on is that 'Palestine' must exist! When ISIS soldier/psychopaths start chopping off heads of Ministers, maybe England will wake up, but I doubt it. Eurabia is already here.
17. How long before somebody post " the
JRS   (10.14.14)
British are antisemitic "?
18. British To Be Held Liable
joyce fraser ,   USA   (10.14.14)
British To Be Held Liable Since the Brit Imperialists 'artificially' carved up so much of the world map for their own abusive 'exploitationary' purposes, they must be made to pay for the havoc they caused throughout much of the world these past Five Hundred Years or so!
19. So what should we expect now?
Yosef ben Matitya   (10.14.14)
The UK ambassador will be summoned for a public dress down? Will they seat him on a tall bar stool or a low stool?
20. UK Degeneration
Jake ,   Haifa   (10.14.14)
Sorry to let reality intrude. The UK is, sadly, a decaying state, rapidly Islamizing, that can barely keep themselves from breaking apart. Their elites have so lost their way, the English cannot even extradite known terrorists but instead subsidize them. They could not prevent the mass rape of their own daughters by alien muslims in their midst. Their education system has resulted in a population which generally speaks english at a lower level than is spoken by an average Israeli. If you have the misfortune to go to the UK, you will see an appalling level of vandalism, ugliness and trash on the streets. The "elites" that have brought the good English so low are a joke and this is nothing but more of the same. Ignore them.
21. Britons fear ISIS conquest of Buckingham Palace, and appease
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (10.14.14)
22. PM Cameron's abstention is in fact a "yes" vote
CJK   (10.14.14)
cameron is worse than miliband. miliband has openly sided with islamic terrorists while cameron does so without taking responsibility for his stance.
23. UK has declared war on Israel
CJK   (10.14.14)
the united kingdom is siding with hamas terrorists and their backers from qatar, turkey, iran hezbollah and isis. by so doing, the united kingdom is declaring war on the sovereign democratic jewish state of Israel. the united kingdom has been a slave of muslim states for decades. yet, the uk is more than ever threatened by muslim terrorists on its own soil. no amount of obsequious pandering to islam will save the people from future terror attacks.
24. THE NEWS IS LOUDER THAN THE EVENT
Brant ,   Hilton Head USA   (10.14.14)
Whoopdeedoo. 286 of the 650 members of the House of Commons bothered to vote. 364 members didn;t even bother. At that, the motion was altered to make it a part of the two state solution claptrap. Sure it will be a "symbolic" whatever for the Palestinians but hey folks, this is not big news.
25. It means nothing!!!
Jake Stone ,   USA   (10.14.14)
These godless Britians need to worry more about their Muslim hordes' who are actively trying to take over their country (oh, yeah...they're succeeding)! All-out war is coming to the Middle East! After that, Israel landmass will be greatly enhanced (much to the chagrin of the many anti-Semites, like that punk, Frank Owen, on Facebook!). God bless Israel and His Jerusalem!!! A Christian Zionist
26. This is incredibly stupid and explains why the Tribe of Epha
Rivkah   (10.14.14)
Ephraim is not listed among the Tribes of Israel who will each have 12,000 virgins (true in faith) in the 144,000 who are supernaturally protected in the latter days of Gentile world rule which is now. The Patriarch Jacob told his grandson (adopted son) Ephraim he would become a multitude of nations who would have the gates of their enemies (British Commonwealth) and be greater than his brother Manasseh who would become a great nation (USA). The sheep nations of which there will be seven in the end times agree that Elohim gave certain lands to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and certain of his sons forever. The goat nations persecute the Jews as the United Kingdom is doing with this vote. The goat nations will not enter the Millenial Kingdom of Yeshua the Jewish Messiah but will be cast into the lake of fire. This vote is an abomination unless it is to put the Palestinians into the Sinai Peninsula for a nation that President Al Sisi of Egypt offered.
27. Expected from a country where
DT ,   TA Israel   (10.14.14)
there is no God, absolute immorality, social breakdown and ultimately no hope
28. 388 MPs didn't vote for it
Scott ,   Ramat Gan   (10.14.14)
This was a desperate attempt by the declining Labour party to get Muslim votes 7 make itself relevant again. The majority of parliament abstained. The only effect this will have is in making Abbas more obstinate & give him more excuses to avoid negotiations.
29. Geoff S from facebook
Mathilde   (10.14.14)
"The Knesset should now debate and vote in favour of Gibraltar becoming part of Spain" i dont understand your comment. did u meant Palestinians defence and foreign affairs are responsability of Israel?
30. apropo de rien... another great israeli quote
Mathilde   (10.14.14)
after British Prime Minister visit to the Israel Parliament: "“There is a difference between a nation that has afternoon tea each day and a nation that eats its national food, felafel, standing up or walking while trying not to get its shirt dirty,” love it? well, that was quoted by Sir Yuli Edelstein :-)
