Rami ,   Rishon   (02.22.16)
Birds of a feather slander together.
2. Help "Palestinians" leave our land forever!
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.22.16)
The only help Israel should ever provide "Palestinians" is help to leave our land forever. It is ridiculous to make our enemies comfortable. No other state, in human history, has ever adopted such a lunatic policy.
3. Employment increases skills
Zola   (02.23.16)
Employment increases skills that could be used in Palestinian cities but their ought be Health Insurance . Building security Fences to keep out the PsychoMurderers is a Job for Jews Bring back Jews working on building sites and let the Palestinians develop their cities creatively under Hashemite supervision with money from AbuDubai Brunei as rich as and other gulf states .
4. Everyone avoids the issue
Ed ,   USA   (02.23.16)
If there was any interest in setting final status borders, then there would be no settlements. Every peace proposal recognizes that the future Israeli and Palestinian governments would have to work closely together for joint prosperity. And had the opportunity for two states not been squandered by the current govt, then perhaps Israeli investment would have been permitted in the new state of Palestine and employment continue. The dual edged sword of BDS and a lack of progress towards a two state resolution means that more Palestinians will be unemployed in the West Bank, making it closer and closer to Gaza. There is no stable status quo. Will Israeli leaders wake up and smell the coffee burning?
5. Don't see a problem
John ,   Toronto   (02.23.16)
Just sell a majority stake in the factories to Palestinians.
6. What Dilemma?
(02.23.16)
The arabs want their cake and eat it too! If these business's leave Judea and Samaria, let find work in arab countries, that fair.
7. Employment
carlos ,   San Diego CA U.S.A.   (02.23.16)
Would it be possible to give those jobs to recent Jewish integrants from Europe or other countries?
8. Time to flee Judea???
(02.23.16)
That was said in Matthew 24!!!!!
9. Palestinian Voice
Morty Mooze ,   Snow City, Canada   (02.23.16)
Are there any Palestinians employed in West Bank industries that are in public speaking out against losing employment because of the BS in the BDS. Where are these Palestinians voices heard? Where are these Palestinians seen?
10. this is your brain on coffee
Steve ,   USA   (02.23.16)
You must have been asleep when Abbas mentioned (about a million times) that a Palestinian state would be completely and absolutely Judenrein. No Jews, no Jewish business, no Jewish investments. At the same time he insists on flooding Israel with the millions of Palestinians kept hungry, poor, and violent in camps throughout the ME. thus assuring the destruction of Israel as a Jewish state,Two states for ONE people is essentially what the PA is after. Go back to sleep.
11. to #5: let me show you the problem
tom ,   toronto, canada   (02.23.16)
selling the factory to the arabs is the same as moving it to israel: the arab workers lose their well-paying jobs, and their benefits. because the difference between arab and israeli employers is the management, not the factory. solving the "bds problem", by making judea and samaria "juderein", does not actually help the "falestinians".
