Nothing, on earth, would be worse for Israel than a "peace treaty with Palestinians". It would cost us Judea, Samaria, Jerusalem, freedom from constant rocket attacks, freedom from inundation by hostile Arabs, our viability as a state and EVERYTHING!

What Israel really needs to do is treat "Palestinians" as the defeated mortal foes they are and claim our tiny land. It is ours. End of story!

Palestinians reject 2 states for 2 peoples. If they change their minds, OK. Otherwise, they are just going to be sucking out free concessions from naive Israelis whether they were Shin Bet, Mossad, generals or whatever.

do we put in charge of our security?!
Only years later does it become obvious; a very uneasy feeling indeed.

Mullahs have enough money to bribe Qatari and Turkish official to by pass the sanctions and support terrorism in Yemen, Iraq, Lebanon, Bahrain and Syria. I an sure they could send a billion or two to the Islamic Jihad in Gaza. Iranian pensioners and young people will be hurt but meh, jihad needs its funding.

nothing Israel can do as rabin found out will bring peace with Palestinians period. until the Arab merchant class throws off the elite resistance gurus, there is no hope. the status quo is the best that can be had;. and to give up strategic borders-take a ticket to the death chambers. which is what Tamara Zandberg of meretz is doing with her betselem partner playing middle east delusional games. like denying Israeli history.

yoram cohen is not without experience in the field of battle. however, you cannot buy peace or quiet. this he fails to understand. you have to wonder why netanyahu hires this kind of person.

Jews should always choose the high ground, security borders and their own gun over hopeful peace with less defensible borders. that is the lesson of the holocaust which cohen obviously ignores.

cohen overwhelmed by arab street -can't think clearly. arms would be smuggled by iran via allenby bridge if there were a plo state. cohen is dumb like livni.

without peace and you. nor unelected self serving judges.

Ideology over facts from this former security chief.

Fatah/Hamas/PLO all openly call and support terrorism against Jewish civilians and the destruction of Israel. Read all of their charter and any official documentation as it clarifies this point. Fatah have carried out more attacks than Hamas and they were armed and trained by the EU/US.

The reason Israel is under attack from abroad as it has been for a long time is people like this who seem to have no problem spreading lies harmful to our nation seemingly due to ideological Fks.

There is no demographic problem nor is there a peaceful leader on the Palestinians side.

Unilateral surrender of territory is the best this moron can propose?? Actually, a smarter plan would be to annex Area C, (100 percent of the Jews and a few Arabs and let the Arabs continue to hold Areas A&B (almost all the Arabs and 40 percent of the WB).

I don't agree. I do not believe that will be a real peace with those terrorists. They will never recognize Israel as a Jewish State. It is not going to happen. Let them run their country and us, our own and simply saying, let them go to hell. They are useless and will never make it as a state, but it is their problem. I think, they should fight to get Jordan as their country, as they are the majority there. We have nothing and I repeat, nothing, to give them. Too bad.

Besides Avi Dichter, all the previous heads of Shin Bet and Mossad agreed that brute force will never solve our problems. To guarantee the future of Israel, we must negotiate with the Palestinians the conditions for the establishment of a Palestinian state alongside Israel.
The peace process was not rejected by Arafat, it was destroyed by two extremist Jews.
25th February 1994 Dr Baruch Goldstein massacred Muslims at prayer in a mosque in Hebron. 29 killed (including 6 boys aged 12-14) and 125 injured.
5th November 1995, another religious extremist murdered PM Rabin.

Our problem is not "the Arabs", but the religious extremists on both sides.

lapid, a security dunce like livni whose advice in security is worthless appointed yakov peri as some sort of Arab terror expert. in turns out he lied about idf service since he didn't do any. and we are supposed to listen to him??? yesh atid will drop in the polls with this revelation.

Israel's security is number one issue and lapid and his team including shelah cannot be trusted with it period, full stop.

peace would be nice but you can't make peace with a people that want to kill you and are too stupid to know they are manipulated by a corrupt and evil leader class. much ot Muslim ME has been destroyed. much is places of misery. other places are ripe for revolution. including Iran.

within a short frame of time as it would mean a vast renovation of character on the palestinians and the whole muslim communitty that seeks the destruction of Israel. Until this has been removed from the context of religion and from the mindset of palestine then peace might be possible. Just providing for the needs and comfort of palestinians will not provide the permanent peace and security of jewish people regardless of their culture.

The best example is your own country
