1. Shamni is delusional
DSM ,   USA   (12.11.18)
Israel is not strong as long as all the things the the writer states in his first paragraph are allowed to happen and the government does nothing to stop them from continuing to happen. Peace will come when her enemies understand they can not defeat Israel and will pay too heavy a price for trying to do so. With this in mind, know peace will never come under the leadership of the big talker carrying a little stick Bibi.
2. Let's Do it!

3. The writer is correct
Vered, Israel   (12.11.18)
Duh! The Palestinians don't want peace! So what? That's the reason we need to divorce them. No one thinks that if we separate from them we will have peace, it's just that if we don't we'll be responsible for them. by all means, we need to separate behind a unilaterally declared border and continue to thrive.
4. PALIS FREEDOM CHRADE IS ONLY ALIVE FOR THE SAKE OF A FEW
Iranian Jew ,   LALA LAND   (12.11.18)
To sell guns and collect donations. Palis truly know that they can’t run an independent successful state on their own. It is time for Egypt & Jordan to start taking responsibility for the people they left behind. That is the only way to make peace. Keep Ham ASS & PLO out of Israel and away from the borders. As long as these two are looking for personal gains, there won’t be peace.
5. Divorce means one of the partners moving out.In this case it
(12.11.18)
must be the Arabs leaving our land.
All of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
6. Its time to divorce............
steve ,   beer sheva   (12.11.18)
Its time to divorce the Palestinians.A one state solution will be Israel's end.
Its time to divorce the Haredim that only want to take money from the state and give nothing in return.(work, army, taxes)
Its time to divorce THOSE Arabs in the state that hate Israel and are a fifth column.

Yes plenty of groups to divorce!


7. If people think that G-d gave them
(12.11.18)
Judea and Samaria, let the G-d také responsibility for their security.
8. "the so-called Palestinian people" are Arab people
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn Holland   (12.11.18)
Reading this article, we can speak of/about Arab people, living in Judea, Samaria, the Gaza-Strip and Israel (proper), or Israeli Arabs/Arab Israelis. Since 1948 that land, nation, state, country and entity is called the state and land of Israeli.
9. Such a good idea....
upadastra ,   Tulip   (12.11.18)
Gaza on a weekly basis shows what divorcing palestinians, rather Israel's heritage, leads to.

pretend WB is a separate state as WB pretends it is. but don't fool yourself. Israel is sitting on a time bomb.
11. A Preposterous Suggestion!
Gershon ,   Shiloh   (12.11.18)
12. Retake our abandoned lands & foster "Palestinian" departure
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.11.18)
All of Israel's serious problems are DIRECT results of Israeli retreats and concessions. The ONLY reason we suffer endless wars, terror, and rockets from Gaza is because of our mad retreat from Gaza. The ONLY reason we suffer endless wars, terror and rockets from Lebanon is because of our mad retreat from our South Lebanon Security Zone.

Yet this lunatic, Shamni, and his fellow leftist lunatics, want Israel to flee Judea and Samaria to turn our sole tiny Homeland in to a 9 mile wide concentration camp!

The answer is simple. Israel needs to REVERSE all our mad retreats and concessions to our mortal "Palestinian" foes. Retake all our abandoned lands and foster mass "Palestinian" departure. Simply ending the mad flow of Israeli food, money, electricity, work permits and other support to "Palestinian", would cause a great many to leave.
13. ARABS
YNET are Liars!   (12.11.18)
ARABS are not "Palestinians"!!!!
ARABS are many separate tribes and clans. Tagging them as nationality, is one of the many failures of the western media to understand the middle east as it is.

Who really are the Arabs in Israel, where did they come from, when and under what circumstances - in my article:

* Please stop taking the "news" and their false terminology so seriously - they all lye to you constantly and cultivate their own fantasies as "facts"!


גדי שמני, אתה שקרן עלוב, שכותב תוכן עלוב, באתר עלוב וכנראה שגם מאמין לשקרים של עצמך - יא עלוב.
14. "TREAT TO THE ZIONIST ENTERPRISE" ???
FO ,   Belgium   (12.12.18)
"Annexing the West Bank constitutes an existential threat to the Zionist enterprise". Mr. Shamni, could you define the status of the so called "West Bank" in International Law? On UNGA Resolution 181? A none binding resolution, but worse, a flagrant breach of Article 80 of the UN Charter. UNSC Resolution 242? Read explanation of "withdrawal of occupied territories" by author of Resolution 242, Prof. Eugene Rostow. What remains Mr. Shamni? Perhaps the "Fourth Geneva Convention"? Not applicable to Israel, because the so called "West Bank" isn't a High Contracting Party, an absolute requirement for signing the Convention, but a RESIDUAL PART of the MANDATE FOR PALESTINE (as explained by Prof. Rostow), the Mandate voted unanimously by all the 51 members of the League of Nations in 1922. This Mandate that gave the Jewish people the IRREVOCABLE RIGHT to settle anywhere on the territory between the Med. Sea and the Jordan River, (at least, taking into account Art.25 of the Mandate, that became null and void, Britain having lost the Mandate over Palestine May 1948) including the Golan Heights, to create their independent Jewish state in formation. This Mandate became International Law that CANT BE RESCINDED, reaffirmed by Article 80 on the UN and protected by the authority of "Res Judicata". What you call the "Palestinians", are the heirs of the Hundreds of Thousands of Muslims from neighboring countries who entered the none guarded borders of Palestine during the British Mandate, to take advantage of the development of the land by the Jews. All this with the blessings of the British who tried by all means to torpedo Palestine becoming a Jewish state. So Mr. Shamni, where is the "treat to the Zionist enterprise"? Reading your article, I'm confused by the fact you served as the military secretary of two prime ministers...
15. Exactly right
Danno   (12.12.18)
This is the only way. Military control until a real change on Palestinian side, even if it takes 100 years, and a defined civil separation. The separation barriern should be used as border. In essence, Israel should hold the Palestinian state "in trust" until a non hostile state/entity can be formed. Palestinians should be given full autonomy except for military matters until that time. Israel cannot swallow 3 million Arabs. The only alternative is to expel them all to Jordan and Egypt which is not possible.
16. Annexing Area C
Bar Star ,   Jerusalem   (12.13.18)
and Jordan Valley as proposed by Naftali Bennett is a good and practical idea. There is a terrorist government running the State of Palestine. We had another terrorist attack today. Israel should divorce workers from that state from their jobs in Israel. Divorce that state from water they get from us at our farmers expense. The policy of appeasing Arab jihadists did not work in the past. We should settle our Land as commanded by Torah everywhere we can.
17. Oslo was civil separation of 95%=mass terror against Jews
(12.13.18)
18. If Arabs were white they would be considered colonist.invdrs
(12.17.18)
This is pure racism, Arab invaders no different to the British or French colonizers..
