1. Easy Answer "How To Win Friends and Influence Palestinians"
Musicwriter4life ,   Comanche, USA   (11.06.14)
Want to "influence" the Palestinians? Easy... Cut off all US funding, while Israel withholds tax revenues. When the Palestupidian "welfare state" fails for lacka dough, Abbas will be a whole different, "whatever ya'll want" guy. Bush did this; worked wonders getting their "attention..."
2. Alte kakker panic alert
Beno   (11.06.14)
The peacenik alte kakkers with their patched-elbow academia jackets always do this: just jaw-jaw out their rubbish, then when the enemy acts in a way that shocks them they get their liberal panties all in a twist.

6. so tired of leftists blaming "right wing" jews ...
naftulee ,   jerusalem   (11.06.14)
The left is truly full of insane people. They keep doing the same thing over and over , knowing that its not working. Did they completely miss what the last GAZA war. Do they really want that 12 miles from Tel Aviv. 1 Mile from Raanna and kfar saba. That is just crazy. But the left continues to spew their ideas running blinding into rocket fire. The Arabs will always find a reason to continue thier jihad against us !!! Just like Hezbolla still finds a reason to exist in Lebanon. The "PA Arabs" will always find an exuse to attack us. Its SAD but its TRUE. So stop blaming the Right for Arab hate. Thats like blaming the jews for living for anti-semetism.
7. Time to put a separation wall between East and West Jerusale
(11.06.14)
It worked in West Bank.
8. This is a frightening war WITHOUT military weapons
(11.06.14)
which any Arab nutcase fantasizing 72 virgins while their dead can use.
9. Bold statement, ohh and I bet you are against war and hunger
Kerwood Derby ,   frostbite Falls, MN   (11.06.14)
And of course the solution to all this is to remove the Yehudim from Yehuda as at least a confidence builder for those who cannot control their homicidal impulses. You want to be tolerant of other cultural needs even if that means your own existential suicide by mis placed self loathing and desire to help the world destroy you as you willfully assimilate into self hatred. Never would you tolerate removing the threat,enforcing the right of return of genocidal mass murdering cannibalistic extortionists back to the homicidal Hamite peninsular homeland of their own name. That would be humane so you wouldn't have to kill the mad asses of men the next time the come to kill you when they can't control their homicidal impulses.
10. Security Measures?Not a solution !
Kal ,   Toronto, Canada   (11.06.14)
I believe that the writer tries to concentrate on the security measures that could be added to seek order .This thinking really ignores the real essence of the conflict : there is an occupation force over the West Bank and East Jerusalem .This occupation humiliates Palestinians ,confiscates their land , restrain their freedom of self determination to have an independent state just like any other nation in the world .I believe the solution is a complete separation between the two nations with full security measures guaranteed by the US,EU ,UN and joint Israeli-Palestinian border control .This would prevent extremists on both sides from attacking the other side .So, the solution is mainly political not more security measures because in the end terrorists ,whoever they are,will find a way to penetrate through all these innovative security means .I believe the issue requires graet leaders who can end this conflict by reaching a peace settlement based on fair pragmatic grounds and not secuity fanatasies .
11. #6 Gaza
(11.06.14)
All the three Gaza wars have happened under right wing governments, so why are you so obsessively compulsed about left wing? The right wing has governed Israel since 2001, address your complaints to them. It was Sharon, a right winger, who withdraw from Gaza. True, left wing supported him in this but on the condition that it was the first step toward a comprehensive deal with Palestinians. Of course, Sharon wasn't ready to go further. He hopped on a bike and stopped pedaling, what a fool. He should have stayed in Gaza if he wasn't prepared to finish the job. That's what the right wing is good for - interim deals, foot dragging, no real solutions.
12. Fair enough
(11.06.14)
Ben-Yishai has finally come around to accept what Avigdor Lieberman has been saying for years: we must "give up the pretense of happy cohabitation between Jews and Arabs" and separate the two populations. But why start with Jerusalem where such separation is difficult and dangerous? Why not start where it is easy? If Ben-Yishai is right, Israel should immediately surrender Kfar Kassem, Tirah, Taybe, Kalansewah, Bartaa and the Iron valley (especially Um el Fahem) to the Palestinian Authority as "area A". Such a move would be easy, require no violence or massive human rights violations and would be a great test case for Ben-Yishai's plan for separation. Or Ben-Yishai is ignoring reality. 90% of Arabs in Jerusalem want to be part of Israel. The Israeli Left and foreign interests are paying the 10% minority of Arabs to riot. All Israel has to do is fire Aharonovitch, replace the Jerusalem police with Kfir and Golani and use legal means to protect innocents from PLO/Leftist violence.
13. Round them up
Brod ,   USA   (11.06.14)
Round up the thugs and incarcerate them or deport them to Timbuktu.
