1. Those who don't learn from past are destined to repeat it
Naftali ,   Jerusalem   (11.13.14)
2. Talking about Islamic state?
AY ,   USA   (11.13.14)
How about talking about Hamas and Fatah? How about clearly saying "We are citizens of Israel, loyal to it?" How about letting go of Nakba as a day of dispossession and turning it into a day of remembrance of the failure to resolve differences peacefully? Because if one wants to live in peace, at some point you need to think about the future, not about the past.
3. A parade of infallibly wrong leftist idiots
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.13.14)
The authors trot out a parade of the leftist idiots who have been infallibly wrong on every single major issue. From Disengagement, to Oslo, to Arafat to the Golan to...everything. Nobody with any sense values the opinions of these clowns. Except as a reverse barometer. The truth is the polar opposite of what they advocate.
4. Make NO MISTAKE
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (11.13.14)
If on the Palestinian Side Abbas thinks like a child with matches he is WINNING by inciting these boys to run riot...then he is TOTALLY BONKERS Remember the Law of Unintended Consequences? Hows THIS for one Filled with blood lust and what they feel is CARTE BLANCHE from the PA to carry out mayhem...we hear boasts only last night from these 'gangs' INSIDE Nablus and Jenin 'Its COOL to KILL'--Who what, where, how..they don't say! Just KILL Are these how we want our boys to be? Is THIS the Society we want in Palestine? Has Abbas completely lost his marbles? What must happen is the realisation? doh! that this violence serves NO PURPOSE and we need responsible voices - politicians. religious and communal leaders on both sides to call for calm immediately and follow with confidence building actions not words
5. Its time to revamp The Quran!
Benny ,   Iran   (11.13.14)
The major obstacle is Islam. It is time for Arab leaders, Mullahs etc. to stop preaching hate and evil, taqieh, jizya, ad nauseum hate-filled texts etc. There is too much evil inculcated in the minds of Muslims who don't know any better. From child-hood, they are taught to "hate the infidel." This needs to stop for peace to begin. Jews will never be subservient anymore to Muslims as they were throughout the Middle East from the time of Muhamad. There are no Jews left in Iraq where the great religions all started. We have been ethnically cleansed. To see Arabs riot & destroy like they do in Syria, Iraq,Libya,Lebanon etc. brings back all those harsh memories of every Jew who ever lived in the Middle East. Muhamad said: "Let the children of "Bani Israel" go to their homeland" (in Israel) in peace for they are blessed eternally by Allah." Muslims need to realize this critical point sooner than later. This point came from their prophet. Don't allow Mullahs, clerics to preach hate anymore. Revamp the Quran and eliminate the hateful "Jihad stuff". Then there will be peace!
6. don't you wish it was so... La land here we go. then it will
involve an army ,   from the north   (11.13.14)
7. No, we're NOT destined to live together, nobody can live
(11.13.14)
together with Islam. That is an axiom this fascist ideology has proven time after time. Amos Oz is a professional idiot, with lofty words but lacking in basic education and understanding of the world around him. No amount of books will ever change that. Maybe he was born that way. Good luck to him.
8. Just like they don't want us here, WE don't want them here..
Israel Yehudi   (11.13.14)
9. Rivlin shmivlin another of the suicidal mosserim
Kerwood Derby ,   Frostbite Falls, MN   (11.13.14)
Javo would never vote against postponing destroying his people as rub bloody elbows Ruby did when he voted against Orlev's bill to delay the state destruction of the lives they serve in YeShA. Kiss your faux co existence where the sun don't shine. You only speak of tolerance because they haven't shared theirs with you like they have in every other land sewn with jewish blood they control inside and outside of the homicidal Hamite peninsular homeland of their own name that they should have their right of return enforced back to.
10. Israeli Arabs are treated better in Israel than other Arab
barbara ,   Haifa   (11.13.14)
countries - they should count their blessings instead of counting minuses. Arabs just have to un-brainwash their youth. Arabs can demonstrate but keep violence and vandalism out of the equation. And what is it with the headscarves - hiding the face? Just know - if they throw rocks at me - I throw rocks back at them.
11. The Arab leadership is clear it is not the occupation
Mordechai   (11.13.14)
The Arab leadership such as Zoabi and Tibi are clear the problem is not the occupation like Oz claims but the existence of Israel. The problem can't be solved until it is acknowledged. Israel's muslim Arab population seeks to destroy the country. Not all Arabs have a problem. Israel's Druse Arab population is not rioting, even when a Druse policeman was murdered by a Muslim Arab terrorist. The problem is those Arabs who embrace terrorism to destroy Israel. The solution is the destroy all terrorists.
12. Amos you are wrong
Tova ,   Canada   (11.13.14)
the lands are not occupied terrority. Peace will not come to Israel if people like you continue to believe that Jews & Arabs together will be the answer. Israel has a serious problem with the Orthodox community who are against Israel. Their community will widen the threat against Israel. The orthodox deny Israel and you think the land is under occupation. Do you not realize that you are giving up your life to serve the Islamic regimes.
