1. The concept of the "two-state solution" is neither part of..

...the fundamental elements of international law, including the UN charter, nor even part of the Oslo Accords on which the parties signed. Indeed, the late Mr. Rabin, in his speech before the Knesset on 5 Oct 1995 - his last address at our parliament before his death - was very explicit: No to a Palestinian Arab state! It is high time the concept is dropped in favor of a more realistic approach to the Arab Jewish conflict in the region as a whole and the national home of the Jewish people in particular:

1. Dissolve the PLO's PA and outlaw the PLO and all of its components
2. Appoint local/regional governors in presently Areas A and B, as well as in the Ara Valley/Triangle region. They shall then set up the Autonomous Arab Area (AAA)
3. Apply Israeli law throughout presently Area C

The goal, it ought to be emphasized, to cease the perpetuation of conflict and strife, death and destruction which Palestinianism has brought upon us since the early 1920s and replace this state of mind with a drive to achieve peace, security, dignity and prosperity for all, Arabs and Jews alike.

3. Anybody know WHICH 2 State Solution
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (09.22.18)
They are rambling on about?

Is it
1.Israel and Palestine in the West Bank only and abandoning Palestinians in Gaza to to their fate? HARDLY
2.Israel and Palestine separated into Gaza and West Bank connected via absurd motorway through Israel? HARDLY
3.Israel and TWO Palestines? Palestine A in Gaza and Palestine B in West Bank? HARDLY

In 1999 a group of Palestinian academics worked out the configuration on a viable, contiguous, sovereign and unified Palestine alongside Israel within mutually secure borders. A plan conceived BY Palestinians FOR Palestinians

An ambition that with will and vision would create a stunningly successful and prosperous state

WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR

Israeli, so it seems.
What a whacked notion to be airing at this point!
5. We must change our way of thinking
NadavKatz   (09.22.18)
Neither international law, including UN charter article 80, nor any other signed agreement since, has ever proposed that the thin sliver of land located between the Jordan River and the Med. Sea, between the Hermon Mountain and the Red Sea, should be but "the national home of the Jewish people". Hence, the setting up of an additional state in this tiny country, one the size of Wales, Slovenia or New Jersey, ought to continue to be the sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people, the State of Israel.

However, the State of Israel, with the backing of the international community, ought to take the following steps:

Dissolve the PLO's PA and outlaw the PLO and all of its components
Appoint local/regional governors in Areas A and B, as well as the Iron Valley/Triangle. These governors will then also set up the Autonomous Arab Area (AAA) there.
The State of Israel then should apply its legal system over Area C

The goal of this approached, based on international law and UN charter, is to advance peace, security, dignity and prosperity for all, Arabs and Jews alike. Surely, even Europeans should be pleased to support this goal, I hope.

6. Convict Olmert?
Avi L.   (09.22.18)
He couldn't even guard a supermarket door and he meddles in security issues?

Is he better than "Bouzaglo"?
7. NEVER AGAIN!
Gavriel Rechov ,   Savannah, GA - US   (09.22.18)
Any man and woman who belonged to Sharon's Kadima Party, exactly the same ones that made possible the foolish and criminal plan of unilateral disengagement from Gaza, the greatest error in the Israel's history, should be perpetually silent until their death. They are Jews, they will never be judged for high treason, but they deserve to be forgotten forever.

Any WAR is hundred times preferable to that kind of PEACE.
8. Demand UNLIMITED Judea/Samaria building NOW!
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.22.18)
It is SCARY that such a dumb, destructive evil leftist ever lead Israel. We must make sure such a tragedy never happens again. The immediate antidote to the lunacy of the hideous Two State Final Solution is UNLIMITED Jewish building throughout Judea and Samaria NOW! Everyone who loves Israel should demand this.
9. Olmert the CROOK & TRAITOR ! ENOUGH !!!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (09.22.18)
10. Olmert the crook and the narcissist should shut up
C   (09.22.18)
