1. Economic sanctions against the USA???
Dan ,   Utrecht   (12.09.17)
Lebanon, that hardly have an economy.. that recently got some $100MM in military aid from the USA.. wants an "economic sanctions"??? against the USA???
And Egypt?? I think the best way to protest is to reject the US aid that amounts of billions of $$$$... i want to see it!!! They need an economy of their own to sanction others..
Arabs are all theatre players!
2. No occupation but liberation
Jerome ,   AKL   (12.10.17)
in 1947 the partition plan designated East Jerusalem as International city.
In 1948 the Arabs invaded the new born state of Israel and were pushed back.
In 1949 the armistice line saw East Jerusalem fall under Jordanian occupation- all up for 19 years and Jews were banned from entering the old city to worship at the Temple mount.
In 1967 East Jerusalem was liberated again.
Jordan held Jerusalem for 19 years only. It does not make it an arab capital. The people of Israel held Jeruslaem as their capital from the kingdom of Salomon, through the first and second temples to this day.
3. zohar said peace can be if jews move to poland and usa
marcel   (12.10.17)
you have 2 different tribes. one treats their animals like crap, not much towards women, fires rockets into kindergartens and then complains to UN that israel fired rockets in response.

there is no peace between these tribe, only cold arrangements based on power and trade and medical assistance.

if the arab merchant class overthrows the haniyehs and nasrollahs , then perhaps but that is highly unlikely.

regardless of trump, israel has to have defensible borders on the ground not based on usa assurances or general's allen like sensor plan so admired by livni, clearly one of the densest israelis ever.

if jews learned nothing from wwll experience, then they are bound to repeat it.

no assurances whether eu, putin, trump are worth anything when it comes to defensible borders. if you don't insist on the jordan valley, fine, move to new york and new jersey. there is no point.

shared security is a non starter with all due repect to the generals ie general reshef.
4. Arab League's sole accomplishment: keep Arab Palestinians in
C   (12.10.17)
refugee camps

the arab league passed a resolution in 1950 asking all members to keep
arab palestinians from getting citizenship, political and civil rights.
5. Angry Arabs?
BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (12.10.17)
What else is new?

They will always be angry, illiterate and live like animals for they are animals.
6. Jerusalem - Golan
Rafi ,   US   (12.10.17)
From a pragmatic perspective - and with Syria now being re-cast by Iran & Russia following the civil war - it would be even more useful to have US recognize the Golan Heights as being under full Israeli sovereignty.

That way there'd be no ambiguity over who owns what.
