31. #29 EU is more christian than US
Harri ,   EU   (04.19.16)
About 72% EU nationals are christians when "only" 71% of US nationals are christians. Don't worry about 2% EU muslim minority, we don't. Why can't you understand even basic mathematics when it comes to demographic issues? Don't worry about EU 2% muslim population, when about 50% of people living in Israel, West Bank and Gaza are Arabs. You can't hide your head in the sand and wish you can't see them. There lives already more Arabs than Jews in the area rounded by Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt borders. If you don't share the land, you are drowning into your own greed.
32. 21Nobody contests that Arab lands..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (04.20.16)
are for Arabs. Logically,a Jewish Land is for Jews. Get used to it and move on.
33. #10 does NOT understand modern warfare
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (04.20.16)
The REALITY is, regardless what borders Israel tries to claim, with modern warfare, Israel will be one huge rubble pile after 100,000 missiles (IDF numbers, not mine) get done. Once the dust settles, Israel will be easy picking to anyone willing to walk toward the Med Sea. Modern missiles do not care where the borders are, they simply fly right over them. This is the delusion of "secure" borders. As for Israel's "superior" anti-missile technology (not really), there is not enough money in Israel and USA to pay for all the anti-missiles that would be needed. The bottom line is Israel no longer has military superiority and as Biden suggests, MUST find a diplomatic solution. BTW - there is no such thing as " Gog and Magog."
34. To nr 28 Stop meddling with our affairs
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (04.20.16)
I'm not interested in your opinion. Stick your nose into someone else's affairs. No Middle Eastern nation can subdue Israel militarily, and the EU has no military might to destroy Israel. Boycotting Israel isn't the easiest thing in the world because most Israeli exports are based on high tech and the lion's share of our exports are business to business based. Boycotting Israel would ultimately mean boycotting every single cell phone, laptop, tablet and every computer made by Microsoft, Intel, IBM etc which means essentially a boycott of the entire world economy. Ain't gonna happen. We will take back our land and expel the Arab squatters. Deal with it, or deal with Armageddon. We have nuclear weapons. I urge you not to provoke us. Get off Native American land and shut up.
35. The Mandate for Palestine included the Golan Heights.
Someone   (04.20.16)
The Mandate for Palestine included the Golan and Article 5 of the Mandate is clear ART. 5. The Mandatory shall be responsible for seeing that no Palestine territory shall be ceded or leased to, or in any way placed under the control of the Government of any foreign Power. http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/palmanda.asp The Franco-British Agreeement 1923 was illegal and the land was still legally for the Jewish state. Besides the fact is was conquered in a defensive war. What about the large wafts of land in Golan, S.Syria and Jordan which are owned by Jews?
36. Alexander... from your lips..
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (04.23.16)
The original 'land grant' included Golan.
37. AMEN !!!
(04.23.16)
38. # 21 C obama 's done that to America as well.
(04.23.16)
He's made our military a joke, a tragic joke.
