Negotiating ? Israel never intrested in peace , they are intrested with the process..

The process took more than 5 decades..

[Aetrion]

@alexei3333 What's the endgame though? 'We're going to treat these people like shit until they stop hating us" - how is that ever going to happen?! You'll get to the point where the only way you can step up your systematic repression of Palestinians is to flat out murder every last one of them, is that what you're going for here?

@ZionistIDF I get my information and knowledge about the middle east from many sources around the world. I'm far from brainwashed and your assumptions are in themselves ignorant. Israel is good at treating their own people well and everone around them like garbage. Israel continues to go down the wrong path creating anger, hatred and instability in the middle east.

The world wants peace not this war mongering that seems to dominate Israeli politics.

[ZionistIDF]

@Nebrox You have been brainwashed, Israel is the only country in the entire Middle East that treats people like people. You are young and ignorant to have such views on the only democracy in the Middle east. Start by watching this:

[Nebrox]

@ZionistIDF I have no problem with your religious beliefs, I have a problem with your countries treatment of other countries and their people as a result of your religion and beliefs. There are few places other than Africa where people are treated so poorly.

Even if I was Israeli, I would be ashamed of my countries recent history.

[ZionistIDF]

@Nebrox Israel does not need friends especially friends that ask it to commit suicide. Israel only needs GOD and this is all that has ever protected us for 2000 years of Genocide by Gentiles. I chose to believe in the Bible you can chose to believe in some explosion that created human life after billions of years of salad mixing of chemicals that came into existence out of nothing from an expolosion that exploded from nothing.

Leon Panetta is a radical leftist tool of the obama regime, he does what he's told without any relevent facts to back up his scripted bullshit. The mohammedans hate Jews and Israel and have NEVER had ANY intention of signing a peace accord. obama is a racist, anti-semite who would like to see his mooslem brothers take Israel off the map. Our Liar-in-Chief hides behind the facade of The White House, taking orders from his master, George Soros. Soros was instrumental in sending Jews to their death

[Nebrox]

@ZionistIDF I can't have a serious conversation with someone who is babbling religious nonsense and prophesy. The rest of us who live in the real world can see what is happening.

Your people are fast losing friends and gaining enemies.

I pity you.

[ZionistIDF]

@Nebrox You are a fool, study Jewish History. Every time Israel was Isolated from the Idol worshipping world God performed the greatest Miracles for the Jews (Splitting of the Red Sea, 6 Day War, Walls of Jericho, etc etc etc) It is only when Jews are insecure and rely on Gentiles for safety and protection does God step aside and the results are catastrophic (Holocaust, Yom Kippur War, Oslo Peace, etc etc) The bible says that the nation of Israel shall dwell alone, thats how God likes it

[Nebrox]

@ZionistIDF Great News, the more Israel is isolated the closer God is with Israel????

It would be unfortunate to live in a country so disliked by the rest of the world. You certainly are isolated. I hope God is there to protect you because I doubt anyone else will be.

[Nebrox]

God I hate that Mark Regev the Israeli spin doctor.

[harlemblues1967]

Its about time. Fuck Israel. Keep the money at home Obama. Help us out God damit.

[beancube2010]

Yeah, we better send some American troops into Israel so they get some companions and pay for the troops while they're staying there. If they don't pay, they'll be isolated. This is the American way to be our allies. Those soldiers will be good to you if your let them marry your daughters.

[predador21]

Better alone than with bad companies.

[GalaticSpaceHero]

Russia, China, Iran, Turks, Brazil, Egypt, France, UK go protest over there and see how quiclky they will beat you down and necessary shoot you dead or roll over you in one of there tanks. They want point at Isreal , maybe there after those Currupt Bankers . Listen to China or Russia talk about conflict is laughable !

@PoliticDesbot

Israel may no longer occupy the Gaza strip but they still use it for target practice.

[PoliticDesbot]

@newworldodour Wicked username!

[ZionistIDF]

Great News, the more Israel is isolated the closer God is with Israel. Poor Muzzies are in big trouble. The Bible speaks in Numbers 23:9

For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, it is a people that shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.

[newworldodour]

@schwartsbruder Agree it would be good if Israel start using their nukes then NATO can legitimately wipe them off the face of the planet no questions asked just direct action

[PoliticDesbot]

All of the Arab countries with the exception of Gaza which is not a country but an area between the Sinai and Israel 139sq miles controlled by the Hamas government have an open peace offer with Israel as long as they stay within International Law and take the 67 borders peace plan seriously. Israel's peace plan comes with a illegal land grab and setting a precedent Internationally that would allow conquering land again, any sane country couldn't back such a move. Israel's peace plan is empty.

[PoliticDesbot]

Israel unilaterally disengaged from Gaza in September 2005, and declared itself no longer to be in occupation of the Strip. However, as it retains control of Gaza's airspace and coastline, it continues to be designated as an occupying power in the Gaza Strip by the United Nations, the United States, the United Kingdom and various human rights organizations.

[PoliticDesbot]

Israel's annexation of East Jerusalem in 1980 and the Golan Heights in 1981 has not been recognized by any other country. United Nations Security Council Resolution 478 declared the annexation of Jerusalem "null and void" and required that it be rescinded. Following withdrawal by Israel from the Sinai Peninsula in 1982, as part of the 1979 Israel–Egypt Peace Treaty, that territory ceased to be considered occupied territory.

[PoliticDesbot]

The first use of the term was in United Nations Security Council Resolution 242 following the Six Day War in 1967, which called for "the establishment of a just and lasting peace in the Middle East" to be achieved by "the application of both the following principles: ... Withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict ...

[PoliticDesbot]

The West Bank and Gaza Strip are also referred to as the Palestinian territories or Occupied Palestinian Territory. The Palestinian Authority, the EU, and the UN Security Council consider East Jerusalem to be part of the West Bank, a position disputed by Israel. Israel has annexed East Jerusalem by the Jerusalem Law.

Israel prefers the term "disputed territories" in the case of the West Bank.

[PoliticDesbot]

The Israeli-occupied territories are the territories which have been designated as occupied territory by the United Nations and other international organizations, governments and others to refer to the territory seized by Israel during the Six-Day War of 1967 from Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. They consist of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and much of the Golan Heights and, until 1982, the Sinai Peninsula.
