peace. Period.
3. You can go wherever you want, but don't take what belongs

not to you
4. Chances are low,
befare ,   Sweden   (03.01.18)
of course. It reminds Americans of the history of the US. Settlers, mostly Europeans, taking over native IndianĀ“s land.
5. Palestinians should steal into the night
BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (03.01.18)
G-d knows they steal everything that doesn't belong to them.
Israel belongs to the Jews, ALL of Israel.
If the Arabs don't like it go home !!

rabble who left mostly all dead by now...
7. The '67 borders mean nothing today.
David ,   Hartford USA   (03.01.18)
The boat that Abbas is basing his quest on won't float, ever. He can scream and pound the table, but nobody will ever consider the '67 borders as a starting point for negotiations. And that's ok with Israel. If the Arabs want to talk about a 'state' they will have to deal with what's on the ground today. If they don't, then they lose out- as they have for 70 years. For seventy years the Arabs have demanded everything and ended up with nothing.

One would think they would change their tactics with results like that.

I think it's high time Israel annexed the entire west bank and brought law and order to the region. Any Arabs who don't want to live in Israel are free to sell their property and move out. It's the only way to force the Arabs to grow up. Israel can use money that donor nations provide to build new infrastructure, new schools and hospitals, etc. No more corruption and graft. No more missing millions of dollars. Arabs will pay their taxes like everyone else. You don't pay your taxes, you go to jail, just like anyone else.

There's only room for one state between the Jordan and the sea- and that's Israel. Yes, this would put Abbas and ilk out of business, but that would be a plus for the Arabs, as their leadership has completely failed them for decades.
8. Really?
Jason, Ph.D. ,   Charlotte   (03.01.18)
Do you actually believe your nonsense? Has it ever occurred to you that maybe Allah honors facts, and that just maybe he is not on your side because of your lies?
9. The last hurrah for "peace talks" before Sovereignty
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.01.18)
We are experiencing the last hurrah for fake "peace talks with Palestinians". We're seeing one more kick at the dead cat before Israel declares Sovereignty over Judea and Samaria; our more than 4,000 year old ancestral heartland. The evil fiction of "Palestine" is falling at our feet like the dog turd it is.
10. Have faith in the King
Cameron   (03.01.18)
Fate has selected him as the outside party & arbiter to lay down the final lines and boundaries of the Holy Land.

Be grateful the Europeans have no strong hand in the matter.
11. Europeans have no authority to determine Israel's borders
C   (03.01.18)
as usual, the imperialist europeans think that they can dictate the future
to sovereign nations.
they did this to czekoslovakia just before wwii and thus started a
murderous war with a hundred million dead.

since there never was a palestinian sovereign of any sort, there
is now an attempt to create a new arab state ex nihilio.

the armistice line of 1949 were agreed to stop fighting and to separate
the armies of israel and those of the arab armies that had attacked
the jewish state during the war of independence.
those armistice lines cannot be converted into international borders
by fiat of european imperialism.

the holy city of jerusalem has been jewish for three thousand years.
the city of jerusalem, seat of zion, was built by king david.
the first jewish temple was built in jerusalem by king solomon.

the arabs conquered and colonised the land of israel and built a
mosque on top of the remnants of the two jewish temples.
when the ottoman empire defeated the arabs, they ruled over
the middle east for five hundred years.
the ottomans expelled 15,000 jews from jerusalem in the sixteenth
century.
yet jerusalem remained a jewish city throughout its existence.
it was never an arab or muslim capital. muslims have always
prayed facing mecca, their spiritual capital.
any attempt to turn any part of jerusalem into an islamic
city, the capital of a new arab state, will lead to an immense
catastrophe.
12. coward europe demands changes to trumps peace plan
jesion   (03.01.18)
Israel is beginning to hate some European countries in my opinion. Europe which is drowning in its immigrants, and who are afraid of them and their neighborhoods, tries to appease them by being tough on Israel. well, those days are over unless you get gabbay and lapid in office who will bow to you.

Israel has enough strength to handle Europe and won't be intimidated.

Europe would do well to mind its own business. Israel and its Arab neighbors will settle matters one way or another.

Europe in 50 years will see Islamic governments take power in France, Belgium,Spain, Sweden, Norway, and a few others. Even England may be at risk of coalitions with Islamic parties. And once Islamic governments, they will not give it up democratically as Persians and Turks have found out.

bonne chance!
