1. Get the "Talks" out of you vocabulary, dude!Force,yes always
(11.06.14)
2. you fool. only a strong response is the proper answer

3. Temple Mount
Amram ,   Toronto, Canada   (11.06.14)
Israel should close off all access to the Temple Mount, until Jordan agrees that everyone is allowed to go and pray there. The PA has nothing to do with this - they were not there when Jerusalem was re-unified.
4. Force can only go so far
Barry ,   Boston   (11.06.14)
It is great to pretend that more force will fix things. Israel is not going to bomb the West Bank into the ground any more than it did so in Gaza. Bibi needs to control his ministers and MKs. There are plenty of right wing politicians aching to cause an uproar to further their political careers. Only when Bibi reins them in can we start calming down the situation.
5. As long as Jerusalem is only
Danny   (11.07.14)
Jewish in haredi neighborhoods the battle over its sovereignty will continue. As long as Jerusalem tolerates immoral parades which even Arab states wouldn't, the battle over its sovereignty will continue.
6. Maximum Peace Offer Now
Zechariah   (11.07.14)
The Maximum Peace Offer now is a Palestinian Arab Autonomy in 50% of the West Bank and 3000sqkm of Islamic Israel.Most of the West Bank is to be designated for a Military Force Guarding to repel attacks from the Mad Mullahs of the ISIS Revolutionary Guards Baath and Neonazis .And counterDeter.This will Afford Maximal Protection for all the Peoples of the Holy Land.Gazan Arabs who abide by Truce can move to the Palestinian Autonomy.The Holy Basin needs to be Internationalized .
7. Abbas' illegal government
Steve   (11.07.14)
Negotiations are inevitable however not necessarily with that snake of a statesman Abbas. Israel should offer to return to the table, but under the condition of PA elections being held first. It is already several years since Abbas' mandate has lapsed, and he is undemocratically representing the PA. Kick out the weasel and deal with his successor, for better or worse.
8. First deal with instigators
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (11.07.14)
Peace processes have failed.The PA now has no legitimacy and its members are instigating murderous violence.They should be the first target. Abbas and his unelected cronies are forever swanning around the world posing as diplomats and peace-seekers.Israel controls the borders and simply shouldn't allow them to re-enter ever again.They can go back to Tunisia,if Tunisia will have them again.The rest can be rounded up and arrested.That cuts off the head. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
9. Temple Mount misnomer
Akram Nussbaum ,   Pretoria, S.Africa   (11.07.14)
The actual Temple Mount no longer exist. What you call the Temple Mount was firstly a reservoir feeding flowing waters (for purification rites) to the Temple Mount South East of the Citadel/reservoir. But then again, how can we expect foreigners to be aware of Judaic history?
10. Jerusalem will remain the eternal capital of Israel
C   (11.07.14)
by whatever means, jerusalem will remain under Israel's sovereignty.
11. Abu Mazen
Hershel   (11.07.14)
PLO and their terrorist colleagues are obviously not ready to fillfil contracts Solution would be to take over the whole West Bank and send him and his guys back to Tunis without billions.
12. #4. Force stopped the Nazis. It can stop "Palestinians".
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.07.14)
Force is what stopped Hitler and the Nazis from taking over the world. Force is what is needed to stop "Palestinians" from their ceaseless attempts to destroy Israel. Total resounding Israeli victory over "Palestinians", with no concessions whatsoever, is the true answer.
13. the enemies of Israel are dreaming
michel ,   Ashkelon   (11.09.14)
The antisemites would like to impose this semantic:the war for Jerusalem souvereignity. Sorry to late, this was in 1948 and now is finish, it`s Israel, like it or not. Ther is no such a thing like the battle for Jerusalem souvereignity .
14. The present is what matters, not history
exUK ,   TEL AVIV   (11.09.14)
We are talking about peoples' lives here,not just force or religion....but I dont expect the ghetto mentality of the extremists to consider the matter except in isolated non humanitarian terms.Just dont give them excuses to complain and riot.Sharon did it in 2000....but our leaders never learn,except to repeat the same mistakes.Maybe that is what they want?
