1. Talks with PA will bring only free concessions to Pals.
Sam ,   Montreal   (10.31.18)
They demand them before talks even begin. What did Israelis think they were going to get? Agreements with Hamas can last one day. They are too anxious with the goading of Iran to kill Jews. Improving their economies doesn't change their goals but gets some nice speeches from the West. Palestinians want to improve their lifestyle while killing and having others boycotting Jews.
2. You cant have ONE without the OTHER
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (10.31.18)
Apart from interminable cease fires you cant have sustainable resolution with Israel negotiating with Hamas at the exclusion of the PA or negotiating with the PA at the exclusion of Hamas

The Palestinian body politic has got to speak with one voice and have one clear vision on how to achieve viable statehood

And to acheive a unified viable contiguous and sovereign state alongside Israel within mutually secure borders you need look no further than the 1999 Palestinian PEG Plan

Conceived by Palestinian academics as the solution which would provide the new state with the best chances of prosperity and success, the Plan at the time was put into deep freeze so as not jeapordise the ongoing Oslo negotiations

Oslo however could never live up to its full promise on the basis of deferring THE most critical issue - a viable Palestinian homeland and the borders of a Palestinian State to be left to grapple with 'sometime' in the indefinite future whilst incrementally just tinkering with some of the other issues at the edges.

Whereas the basis of 1999 Palestinian PEG Pan is to FIRST and FOREMOST determine and agree the borders and configuration of a viable unified and contiguous Palestinian State and then work backwards to resolve the other issues.

What are we waiting for?






3. weakling

why is Israel worried about France"s peace plan? A bold leader could tell France to shove their plans up their rear ends.not netanyahu- he is afraid of his damn shadow.

yahya sinwar is much more of a leader than netanyahu. bibi seems to hide behind his so called commando background which seems to have done nothing for him..he is almost the same as gabbay and livni.

tell macron to mind his own business.

as for gabbay wanting to deal with abbas and his regime, it shows how ignorant he is. i'd rather cut a deal with sinwar than abbas,\

chosen? in your own minds and that is all there is. olmert was a horrible, disgraceful leader who outdid chamberlain in his concessions. he is now seen yelling his proposals at conferences.anyone offering such a plan is out of his mind.

lapid-he is nothing but an olmert clone who knows nothing about security. livni-she combs her hair well so she can dine happily with erekat as she signs onto indefensible borders. lastly bibi, there are soldiers and there are soldiers. he seems almost totally unaware of the battlefield space needed. and he is so beset by fears that drag down the state in his pessimism. he goes around the world begging others to do Israel's bidding.

bennett is 10x bolder leader than bibi.
4. The criminal Arab "islam" gang hamas and Israel.
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn Holland   (11.01.18)
The only acceptable deal, in this case, is the end of hamas and the Gaza strip a part of Israel and if the Gazans did not want to live in Israel, they all can go freely to the Arabian peninsula, to their so-called holy places/sites, to live there for good, after they paid for the trip themselves. SECURITY, SAFETY AND PEACE FOR ISRAEL AND ALL THE GOOD-WILLING PEOPLE, ON OUR PLANET.
5. Not until we retake Gaza, clean up the stables and keep our
(11.02.18)
sovereignty there will we know peace& quiet from our mortal, Arab/Muslim/Fascist "neighbors".
Simple fact of complicated life in the Middle East.
