1. As for New Zealand . . .
Ralph ,   NZ   (04.22.15)
NZ should mind its own bloody business and solve its own Maori problem before interfering in the affairs of Mid East countries., and I'm saying this as a born New Zealander !
2. The world's capital
sam tayar ,   Canada   (04.22.15)
Israel is now more in the foreground. It has been effective in the background and in low key lobbies to facilitate global acceptance but now is determined to take center stage in issues directly relating to its very existence. No longer will it play second fiddle to any player. International states must accept Israel as a legitimate and EQUAL partner to benefit from its superior position in many fields. Those who want to take advantage of such benefits must acknowledge and give credit to the latters' origin. NEVER AGAIN!
3. France need ask Pals on what territory Jewish state accepted
Sam ,   Canada   (04.22.15)
What France and the EU don't get is that Palestinians want to be given a state without having to accept a Jewish one. The issue is avoided and that's why nothing ever happens. The focus is always on giving Palestinians a state so the whole peace issue just goes in circles.
4. "Parameters"
Yossi ,   Israel   (04.22.15)
"It's the responsibility of this council to adopt a consensual and balanced resolution that sets the parameters of a final status and a timeline for the negotiations," French UN Ambassador Francois Delattre told a council meeting" "Parameters"? Really? And what makes them think that Israel will follow EU and UN dictates?! Well, they will find out how much their "parameters" dictates will help them achieve any settlement of this issue. The world is in the midst of WWIII and the bad guys are winning, but EU and UN is obsessed with Israel. History just repeating itself.
5. The diseased world does not seem to care about real dangers,
(04.22.15)
it still prefers to single mindedly pursue Israel as the cause for all ills. That has been the proud tradition of antisemitism throughout the ages and it goes on.....

Whats the purpose of a draft resolution? Countries as Britain, Portugal, Spain, France, Germany, Sweden, Belgium, Russia or U.S. etc had been always governments and monarchies with superiority complex. Come on, do any one of you talkbacks members and opinatorw really believe those countries are capable to be peace brokers of any peace agreement between Israelis and Palestinians? Look what they are showing off -the US. is enough skilled to deal with Iran nuclear ambitious, Putin the Russisn haves no concerns about the UN sanctions over his military invasion to Ukraine, and more recently no concern over a sale of defense missils to Tehran. -Palestinians government haves inferiority complex, while Israelis are never concerned about europeans, west opinions,neither about persians and arabs mentality, Israelis have high self esteem which is very good. while the europeans have been trying to convince Palestinians that both, Israelis and Palestinians are in a kind of contest for a land that have been historically jew, a land named Israel and recognized as a jewish state since 1948.

7. To: Facebook Yosef Eytan
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.22.15)
Actually, I believe we already know the answer to that. Remember after the 1956 war, victorious Israel withdrew from the Sinai based upon lavish United Nations promises that it would maintain peacekeeping forces in the Sinai -- forever. Well, forever came to an end when Gamel Abdel Nasser -- may his name be cursed throughout eternity -- demanded that the United Nations withdraw its peacekeeping forces, and Secretary General U Thant promptly complied. We have also seen how remarkably ineffective United Nations "peacekeeping forces" were in Lebanon, where they actually aided and abetted Hezbollah to re-arm. No one with a modicum of common sense believes the United Nations. That would include the State of Israel.
8. High stakes poker and no $$ on the table.

Just the lives of the Israeli Jews these Gentile nations wanted to destroy not that long ago. How about for every nation wanting to dictate to Israel, they put one billion dollars in the pot and be prepared to lose it to Israel when they lose these publicity battles doomed to failure? Don't they know there is NO palestine? Butt out dummies Israel isn't taking orders from any Gentile and more especially, no anti semitic nation or people. KEEP BUILDING IGNORE THESE LOSERS !!!
9. #1 Thank you Ralph! My exact sentiments.

Escusez moi sil vous plait, theres no such thing as international states. There are independent and sovereing states, members of an international community, which is not the same thing you post. Even the Vatican City is not an international state, but an independent eclessiastic state ruled by clerics or popes...and recognized internationaly. Cest la meme chose you said? i dont think so...
11. so? whats the purpose of a draft resolution?
Adler J   (04.22.15)
Europeans self-image of supremacy. Cant be a good peace broker Costa Rica, Australia, India, Singapore, Hong Kong, Panama, or Taiwan for instance?...
