People forget you have 6 million Israeli's

Jews. Surrounded by 200 million plus

muslims that want their destruction..

Israel is treated like the giant. Palestinans

have been offered land they didn't want it

Rabin was ready to hand it over arafat

the little dead billionaire weasel didn't want the deal. Those who think this is

about land, they are greatly mistaken.

Another idiot.

Israel continues to defy International Law. Mmmmm! Let the USA admit to the world that International Law is actually null and void and any country can oppress and abuse as it sees fit and that they have absolutely no control over Israel whatsoever. That is a fact not a fallacy.

Here we go again the only democrat country in the M.East showing it´s UGLY face to the entire world + they didn´t find a partner for peace in the whole region . &

(Israel is a democratic and law abiding country that carefully observes international law ) !!!OMG i´m getting sick seriously !!!

Your comment about 1967 being after the six day war makes no sense. The six day war occured in 1967. Furthermore, Egypt's airforce didn't even get off the ground to even attack Israel. Israel attacked Egypt first. It's documented historically. The Egyptians had no chance with no airforce. That's common sense. If Egypt attacked first why didn't their airforce take off? As far as 98% of the Middle East, Palestinians are not from Qatar anymore a German is from Greece.

And Arabs are not satisfied with 98% of the entire middle east...

And for your information, 1967 is after the six days war, in which 9 Arab states attacked Israel at the same time, in which they pathetically lost an immense quantity of land (what's known today as the Judea-Samaria was Jordan, and Gaza was Egypt). And now Arabs are crying that Israel stole more and more land after the 1967 "Israeli invasion".... tears tears....

The descendants of Abraham Issac Jacob

are the only people in this world with a clear

title to Israel. Given by the Creator of all....

The Romans renamed the land Palestine

in the 2nd century.

It is no longer worth educating white Americans. Education, in this case, seems unable to tame their ignorance. I read a silly comment here about the Israeli economy being fruitful because of their brilliance and God's blessing? You mean stealing organs, being a welfare recipient state, and generally fitting the definition of a parasite is brilliant? And what God has blessed Khazars who disobey the Torah, celebrate homosexuality, and kill children? I have lost hope for you Gentiles.

not freeze settlements but destory them for good..I am not a person who cares if palestine gets all of israel but I do want to see ALL settlements, checkpoints gone

Another question for you to ponder about is why they want statehood now. For example, From 1948-1967 the "palestinians" were fine living in Egypt's Gaza strip and Jordan's West Bank. They never demanded statehood, and didn't even refer to themselves as palestinian. It was only after 67, that a palestinian people became active. This brings up many questions.

The Camp David offer in 2000 was not really generous. The US media which is heavily for a right wing Israel with the exception of people like Ted Koppel, who is Jewish and has morals, has not shown the proper facts. Barak said at that time Israel would keep the border with Jordan and land at the border, huge settlement blocs that would bisect the West Bank in a large part of it and a tiny portion of East Jerusalem would go to Palestine.  Sure, it was better than what was offer, not saying much.

Define Palestinians? A mixture of Canaanites, Phillistines, Hebrews, Arabs, Crusaders, Greeks i.e. everyone who lived there. An essentially Semitic people. It doesn't matter how you define them. They had land deeds and lived there. The aborigines of Australia didn't have a modern state. The Palestinians at least had land deeds and still lived there under Ottoman rule just as Jews lived in Germany in Germany as part of the German Empire.
