There can't be agreement on core issues because Palestinians reject a Jewish majority state. Those people saying 'therefore that Israel must have a solution are brain dead.

... have handed Obama a mandate to do whatever he wants, as long as it means that the "palestinians" will no longer be a plague. Judea and Samaria are going to be annexed. I suppose the logical thing is to simply repatriate the "palestinians" illegally squatting therein to Jordan, country of their citizenship, but I think the best idea -- at least for now -- would be simply to expel them to Gaza, where the pa and hamas can work on their brand-new unity government. Sooner or later, of course, Israel will have to take back Gaza, and possibly even Sinai. But that shouldn't pose much of a problem. The Europeans are in such thrall with the "Palestinians," I am certain they would be delighted to welcome them into their respective countries. I don't really care what happens to them. Given the overwhelming support they command in Europe, they are no longer Israel's problem. Turn the tables on the Europeans. Besides, Europe is a dying continent. Cannot happen to a more deserving bunch of anti-Semitic hypocrites; nor can it happen quickly enough. The Jews will be fine -- there is, of course, a vibrant State of Israel who will make a home for them. No one really wants the goyim, though -- and who can blame them?

What other prime minister, president or potentate of a sovereign nation must "deal with the world's leaders" in this way? Not even Kim Jong Futon whatever of N. Korea is treated with such disrespect. You know what, Shiffer? Your moment of truth will one day come, and I hope it's played out in the media like a broken record.

The 1.8 million Palestinians of Gaza Strip, out of 4 millions the author mentions, don't live under Israeli control, and the Israeli Arabs are not "required to perform full duties." They are exempt from the most important duty – service in the army.

Trust him.

the PLO and HAMAS together recognized Israel as a Jewish State when they do peace will be achieved. otherwise - your commentary isnt worth to read.

And it is even much more obvious, that clueless people like you, will spear no time and effort in spreading lies... What is it, that is motivating you to intimidate this well informed board, who follow the most authentic factual news thru lots of venues..... "Sabotage real chance for peace.."?? Really? We have been there, done that repeatedly too many times over.. We withdrew from our sovereign lands too many times, in order to make peace with them...Read the story of "Gush Katif" over 30 years ago in the south of Israel,learn about beautiful settlements with homes, orchards and a beautiful modern urban city, called Yamit...We gave it ALL to them for peace in the early 80's, hoping that this time they'll get it...That hope, was very short lived and today the beautiful Gush Katif, is a barren desert again .. But apparently, Israel has never had and will never have a negotiating partner...And by the way : despite all of the terror and missiles, they are sending our way, we are still providing them with fuel, water, food, medicine & so much more.. Know what you are 'talking" about, Mike.. I strongly encourage you to read some factual history on the subject..
