1. Zionists were right again
(11.29.14)
There is no surprise here: PLO and the Arab states have always stated that their goal is the termination of Israel. Because of this, the basis for Israel's concessions to PLO since 1993 were American, European and International guarantees that they would prevent PLO from taking any unilateral steps. The Zionists always warned that the guarantees were worthless, and Israel would make concessions and get nothing in return. The Leftists who led the "peace process" dismissed the Zionist's concern. Once again we see that the Zionists were right and the Left was wrong.
2. Arabs have always been trying to destroy the Jewish State
CJK   (11.29.14)
they have never succeeded and they will not succeed this time either. the arab league has kept arab palestinians in refugee camps for decades and denied them civil and political rights per arab league resolution passed in 1950. the arab league has used the arab palestinians as political pawns in the ceaseless effort to destroy the jewish state by any and all means. the united nations cannot determine unilaterally the borders of a sovereign state and any attempt to do so now will undermine completely the charter of the united nations. any resolution passed by the unsc will have only an advisory role. the united nations does not make laws, except in the very rare exception of chapter vii resolutions passed authorizing the use of force.
3. #1. Right is correct & left wrong on ALL major issues
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.30.14)
#1. As you note, rightists were proven correct about "peace talks with Palestinians". Leftists are wrong. The same is true of ALL major issues. From Oslo to Disengagement to Arafat to Abbas to the Golan to...everything.
4. Intelligent Arab Leader Wanted
33/44   (11.30.14)
I can not remember one intelligent Arab leader since Sadat. Even he was a product of Jimmy Carter. Arab nations should look for a few smart citizens to shape their future.
5. I will agree
1 ,   1   (11.30.14)
sassnid empire will destroy the arab before that date
6. Shallow, Superficial and Simplistic
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (11.30.14)
The AL core demand is Israels Withdrawl And then what? The fact is that either Abbas doesn't know, isn't telling us or has no plan What is the PALESTINIAN Plan for Statehood? 2 State, 3 State, 1999 Plan of a new Expanded Palestine centred in Gaza extended into Negev as trade off with West Bank and additional Land Purchases from Egyptian Sinai, or Federation? NOBODY seems to know And FROM THE PALESTNIAN perspective its naïve to assume that the moment Israel withdraws suddenly as if by magic a Palestinian PLAN will be conjured up and we will all live happy ever after Abbas is stalling because he would rather Palestinians languish in STATUS QUO Land, make no big decisions or take the lead but just globe trot the world and like a Drama Queen showing off his Fashion Keffiyeh taking pot shots at Israel and inciting our youth to a frenzy
