1. JERUSALEM THE ISRAELI CAPITAL CITY
Robert ,   Israel   (01.03.18)
Abbas is right. JERUSALEM IS NOT FOR SALE. Even if he protests in international forums, even if he sends terrorists to kill israelis, even if he and his cohorts fire bombs into Israel in order to kill civilians, ...even if,... JERUSALEM WILL NEVER BE FOR SALE . JERUSALEM BELONGS TO ISRAEL AND WILL EVER BE THIS WAY.
Abbas prefers to hide the fact that they were offered a State for palestinians to live, and they rejected it. Yes. THEY REJECTED IT because they wanted to eat more than they were offered. And this was seventy years ago.
He can not live thinking in "what was". Things are different now than they were in 1948.

will tone down before next cheque is due.
3. "We're not impressed"
tiki ,   belgium   (01.03.18)
Big mouth Abbas is putting his head into the noose while not believing Trump will pull!

He hasn't grasped that the party is over and keeps on dancing!
4. DEMAND complete end of Israeli aid to fictional "Palestine"
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.03.18)
Incredibly, Trump is being more pro-Israel than Israel's government. Trump understands the lunacy of supporting one's enemies. Yet America is not the main target of "Palestinian" terrorism, murder, mayhem, boycotts and every other form of evil. It is wrong for America to support evil fictional "Palestine". How much MORE wrong is it for Israel to support the abomination???
Let us all DEMAND the immediate, complete end of all Israeli aid to the P.A. and fictional "Palestine"!
5. Palestine does not exist
Rami ,   Helsinki   (01.03.18)
You lost East Jerusalem because your people attacked Israel. Stop acting like a victim and accept your defeat.
6. Abbas and his cronies should worry
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (01.03.18)
They've already raked off mind boggling fortunes for themselves.If the ordinary Palestinian Arabs have to do without,what's new?

THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
7. 'Jerusalem is not for sale'
lazerbenabba ,   London England   (01.03.18)
'Jerusalem is not for sale'...certainly not to the so called Pals.
No Arab nation even wants these parasites, Jordan kicked them out with Arafat.
They are persistent whingers constantly demanding and giving zilch
8. Abbas' arrogance knows no bounds
C   (01.03.18)
this holocaust denying kgb creation thinks that he can give orders
the the president of the united states.
it is this arrogance, this megalomania, that have stood in the path
of peace between arabs and israelis ever since the jewish
state declared independence.
arabs have always thought that they could blackmail the
west, including the united states.
yet we see today that the arab mentality has caused the
the destruction of much of the middle east.


9. Jerusalem has been a Jewish city for 3,000 years
C   (01.03.18)
jerusalem is the city of david, seat of zion.
jerusalem is where the two jewish temples were built.
arab muslim colonisers have no right to jerusalem,
the eternal, undivided capital of the sovereign
jewish state of israel.
10. Echos and parrots.
Eisenfeld Michel ,   Ashkelon   (01.04.18)
How many times you will publish and repeat the ''palestinian'' ''its not for ...''
You are acting as a echo chamber to promote this as goebbels tactics?
11. Abbas
cindy ,   Sydney   (01.04.18)
Such arrogance from Abbas. He has no right to demand money nor should he abuse the USA for it larggese. He has been operating under an illusion that he will one day capture the whole of Israel and the world will take note of his importance. DELUSIONAL MAN!
12. jerusalem was always and is israel's capital-however
ed   (01.04.18)
Jewish yearning for its ancient capital is well known.It is full of ancient Israelis artifacts, with almost zero arab artifacts.

nonetheless, regardless of the dispute between israelis and arabs, you don't buy partners in peace with money. so if plo and hamas come to it ok, but if not, then no.So i agree with the arabs who say don't blackmail us.

give the money if you feel it is mutually beneficial, and don't give it if you feel otherwise.

the European appeasers have deep pockets. let them make up the funds.
13. OF COURSE, IT IS! YOU SELL IT EVERY MONTH FOR HAND OUTS
IRANIAN JEW ,   LALA LAND   (01.04.18)
ABBAS! Stop kiddign yoursel! Your movement is dead and is going no where. Coem & ngotiate what you got left. become part of Jordan as aoon as you can. That is going to happen one day anyway.
14. NO THREAT
Mark Sherry   (01.04.18)
The US will have to end all foreign aid to Palestinians. We no longer can afford foreign aid. Trump and his party just cut all taxes enough to put the US into bankruptcy in short order. $1.5 Trillion will be added to the national debt. Aid to Jordan and Egypt will have to be eliminated as well as cutting the US military and food, farm supports, medical care for the elderly and Social Security retirement for seniors. Aid to Palestinians is just the first to go. Trump is paying off his donors.
15. Yusuf Amaran: If you visit New York City,
A ,   OutThere   (01.04.18)
one can see the stark difference between it's black ghetto neighborhoods and the " affluent" neighborhood. NOTHING united about it, therefore New York City should not be considereal as part of the United States...idiot!
16. Palestinians need to listen to Trump!
Mike ,   Rochester   (01.05.18)
Palestinians are not interested in peace with Israel! They don't even believe Israel has a right to exist as a nation! That is the bottom line and they cannot hide the hatred that is in their heart from anyone! Why should the US continue to fund you money on lip service from you alone? Jehovah gave all of that land to Israel! They are in control who gets the land and how much because it is rightfully theirs! All Christians realize this which means most of the US including President Trump who Jehovah elected into office by way of the Christian majority. So sit down and be humble and then come to the peace table and be gracious to what Israel (Jacob) wants to allow you to have!
