1. A few days ago leftists idiots feared a bunch of 17 year old
(01.06.16)
religious Zionists youth overthrowing the country and crown a king. Today they're worried that Arabs will bring on an armed intifada. The Leftists are really starting to lose their marbles. That's because they are fully aware that the Shabak, the haters of religous Jews, are liars and the real enemy are coming in.
2. Depends on the Point of View
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (01.06.16)
Israel has been shooting Palestinians for months and has been making war on Palestinians through military occupation since 1967. Human nature is that when one people make war on another, people get angry. Abbas has achieved nothing for Palestinians by opposing armed conflict, cannot even get an offer of peace from Netanyahu, just reduced military occupation control. Netanyahu calls this conflict management. So some Palestinians are in despair and frustrated. people in despair sometimes lash out and want to share their pain. And they are not all that understanding when their parents or brothers or kids get shot. I live in the US and I carry a pocket knife. if I were Palestinian, living under Israeli Martial Law, I could be shot and my house would be blown up even though I've never attacked anybody. Netanyahu ran on conflict management, not making peace. The current situation is a side effect. Americans have to live with our electoral choices. Apparently, so do Israelis.
3. Well, if our PM, just like Alex is going to ponder this deep
(01.06.16)
question instead of acting decisively to end this once & for all then yeah: let's ask the intifada-experts: "Is this love that I'm feeling "(or is it Intifada)?"
4. Mark #2 - What you say is typical propaganda
Someone   (01.06.16)
The Arabs on the land started the war before their was even a Palestinian people. So yes Jews should be angry, you seem to have it twisted. Abbas has gone on Israeli TV and said he didn't even reply to Olmerts offer, he has called to kill Jews on TV. There is not one thing the Palestinians have ever done for peace (not their own benefit but peace). Abbas thesis denies the Holocaust and he financed the Munich Olympics and many other terror attacks. He is a terrorist who should either be killed or put in jail to rot. You are either a liar or ignorant as Abbas has also said on camera that he only supports armed conflict if he thinks it helps so not always but sometimes. The PLO charter still calls for the destruction of Israel and armed resistance. So their own charter disputes your claims. Israeli only controls areas where there are 50,000 Palestinians in the West Bank the almost majority are under Abbas and PA control. Come back when you know what you are talking about.. Too many people are spreading lies about Israel seemingly unable to understand the difference between fact and fiction. Lastly the world is suffering the consequences of US voting stupidity. Doesn't look like that will change soon. So your choices if anything are to blame (with Obama and his attitude towards Israel and Jews) for the situation here. It is Kerry Indyk, Obama and Clinton who are the blame for all the deaths here; from denying Jewish right to build in Jerusalem even if they own the land - to blaming Israel for the talks falling apart even though they were there and know it was Abbas. Surprisingly most of them get major funding from countries hostile towards Israel. Example would be Indyk who gets money from the same source as Hamas QATAR. basically stop spreading lies and blaming the Jews as usual.
5. #2 Mahmood Ibn Yusuf: If you carry a pocket knife
A ,   Belgium   (01.06.16)
you are carrying a concealed weapon. Is it for self defense, which means stabbing someone if necessary or are you just planning on stabbing someone anyway in order to protest the Israeli occupation of the Al Aksa eyesore, which is the current lie perpetrated by your "palestinian" bretheren and chief terrorist Abbas? I for one would love to see you busted and your arab @$$ thrown in jail for many years. Welcome to America!
6. #2 Are you really Jewish - ben joseph ?
israeli   (01.06.16)
We have perpetrated crimes against the pals since '67 ? I think it is vice versa and that you are terribly confused. You are a disgrace to our faith.
7. 6. amazed at your lack of knowledge
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.06.16)
Mark Ben Joseph, Jewish? I doubt it. His entire post is a tangled twisted lie. Best to ignore this person.
8. To the Lunatic Leftist's ears "Intifada" is sweet music!
Allah Blah-bar   (01.07.16)
They simply cannot get enough and try hard at every turn, to provoke one even when their Arab, Muslim-Jihaddist brothers in (political) Arms refuse to oblige! It is quite amusing and sad at the same time to watch/read their pathetic, hysterical declarations. Squirm on, Alex!
9. 4,5,6 - War on Palestinians since 1967
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (01.07.16)
You guys have been making war on Palestinians since 1967. Why do you expect them to like it? That is the bottom line. Israelis expect Palestinians to appreciate living under Israeli martial law and subject to Israeli violence against them. Carrying a pocket knife in the US is perfectly legal. In most states carrying a loaded gun openly is perfectly legally. In the US, we have a right to self-defense, something you routinely deny to nearly 5 million Palestinians. I carry the knife for my own reasons. It is my Constitutional right.
10. Use intifatah to change status quo permanently!
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.07.16)
Instead of fearing an intifatah, Israel should welcome it (It is coming anyway), as a golden opportunity to change the status quo permanently. An intifatah offers Israel the chance to retake our lands we so foolishly abandoned and drive our enemies out. In short, it is time to stop playing games and achieve resounding victory!
