1. I HAVE BEEN TAKEN ABACK....
FO ,   Belgium   (05.11.17)
You wrote, Mr. Haetzni,... Israelis can be accused as robbers of Palestinian land... I agree with you, this is simply nonsense. But s far as I remember, I never read an article of yours explaining that ALL UNGA and UNSC anti-Israeli Resolutions, as well as the Fourth Geneva Convention applied to Israel are just null and void, violating the fundamental League of Nations' Mandate for Palestine. The Mandate that gave the Jews the IRREVOCABLE RIGHT to settle on the territory between the Sea and the Jordan River, including the Golan Heights, and of course the total city of Jerusalem, a right that became International Law and reaffirmed by Article 80 of the United Nations' Charter. Don't remember having ever read something like that written by you... Or did I miss something some day? The only one who wrote a comprehensive study about this subject is (amazing enough) the author of UNSC Resolution 242, Prof. Rostow, in an article called "The Future of Palestine". A must, available on Internet! Your whining isn't better than the official Israeli Hasbara, that by the way the Jewish-English journalist Phillips called a joke.
2. Great article! Israel must begin acting with self respect
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.11.17)
Thank you, Haetzni for a marvelous, well written article. I don't expect Haetrzni's thinking to penetrate the consciousness of Israel's pathetic suicide left. However, it should inform the thinking of everyone who loves Israel. Our sole tiny Homeland, as Haetzni notes, is not mere real estate to be bought and sold for commercial or political interests. It is ours forever!

We need to drastically change the discourse about Israel and "Palestinians". This begins in Jerusalem. Not Washington, Paris or anywhere else. No other state, in human history, has ever begged its defeated foes to sign a peace treaty, and offered them its land to bribe them to do so. Israel MUST begin acting like a self respecting nation, as Haetzni urges.

3. I support President Trump

But if he pushes Israel to make concessions for peace (that never comes), he will be as wrong as anyone else who has pushed Israel to do so in the past. Israel shouldn't give up anything, least of all, their land. In fact they should be expanding their territory until they're at the boundaries the Biblical God originally set for them when He gave them the land in the time of Joshua. If the Muslims wanted peace, they could've had it decades ago by not attacking Israel in the first place. But Muslims don't want peace, they want Israel to disappear. The Muslims will be the ones who disappear, like all of Israel's enemies, guaranteed.
