1. The problem is the Big LIe
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem   (10.19.16)
The Nazis said it and sadly it is true: Tell a lie long enough and loud enough and most people will begin to believe it...

That is what is happening and simply calling it self-deception - which of course it is - will not make it go away.

We must be pro-active and get out there with our own Hasbara to counter act the lies being told - - - and accepted.
2. a failure only IF peace were their goal!
richard sherwin ,   herzliyah   (10.19.16)
but there goal is NOT peace (except that of exterminating Israel, murdering jews, and erasing the shame of 3 military losses). so their constant success with the UN antisemitic organization/s, helps 'eliminate' israel's right to exist in the world's minds. And as Wistrich in A LETHAL OBSESSION makes very clear, they are winning this mental/spiritual supersessionalism along with the help of the Eurocrats, the EuroNGOs, the publicity the UN puts out everywhere against Israel's evil-- in preparation for justifying Iranian Nukes when they fall and blaming Israel for the fall and fallout. Israel has been absorbed almost world-wide into the Protocols of Zion which itself is the New Testaments new book to both Moslems and hordes of Protestant Ex-Christians.
3. Unesco
dan frank ,   montreal   (10.19.16)
It has been finally proven that the UN and its affiliates like Unesco could successfully pass a resolution claiming the earth is flat after all.
4. It destroys remnants of leftist "land for peace" mantra
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.19.16)
"Palestinian" rejectionism is great for Israel. It literally saves Israel. Had Arafat accepted the lunatic Oslo Agreement, and had Israel allowed it to be implemented, Israel would not exist today. "Palestinian" rejectionism destroys the last evil remnants of the idiotic leftist "land for peace" mantra.
5. Israel Needs More Self Respect
RickD ,   USA   (10.20.16)
Israel needs to take back part of the Temple Mount for Jewish prayer. There needs to be an area on the Temple Mount where Jews can pray any time they want in safety.

It's hard to understand how it has come to be that Jews are not allowed to pray on the Temple Mount. The world will respect Israel's claim to the Temple Mount if it is supported by actions. Either the Jews do or don't want control of this site. If the Jews do want control of the site the world will respect that. If the Jews don't act like they want control then they will support those who do want control.

Claiming control and sovereignty and not acting on it indicate a lack of conviction.
