The "Palestinians" are hoping that their young will be killed so that they can make a case for their own state out of the land that the Almighty bequeathed to Israel and Israel alone.
All you have to do is confiscate all the black t-shirts and bandanas. They will stop the intifada. Oops, they are not ready to call what it is, but I just did.
Why are the IDF responding with non-lethal fire? Why should a single IDF soldier be put at risk? Stone throwing should be met with aimed intentional lethal live fire.
Agreed - dead terrorists never attack again
The PA is irrelevant today, it just exists on paper.
Israel should take notice, plan and act accordingly to safeguard its citizens, restore calm and order in face of the complete failure of the PA.
Lessons should be taking into account while defining the future political entity that will be in charge of the non-israeli polulation that lives in the so called “territories”
Safety and security is a human right as well, those that riot and threaten harm to others lose that right. It is time to ignore international public opinion and media and do what is necessary to insure the safety of all citizens. With excessive rioting comes excessive force, apparently the only thing they will understand.
and lead Israel to Masada II?
No stupid - it is called peace and quiet
What would you do if you were a Palestinian in their situation (under occupatian ....) ?!!
Sadly the violence will continue untill the establishment of the state of Palestine at the 67 borders,and East Jerusalem as its Capital .
BOYCOTT the Apartheid state of Israel ...Long live BDS ✌
Long live Palestine ✌ ❤
There is no such place as Palestine, and "Palestinians" were given that name only in 1967. They are Arabs, no different than all the Arabs in the mideast, following colonization by jihadis in the 7th century. Except for the great majority of Arab Israelis, 77% of whom would not choose to live anywhere else in the world. When they were dubbed "Palestinians" the Arabs hated it. The indigenous home of Arabs is the Arabian peninsula, where every "Palestinian" in the territories should be sent.
The Palestinians are losers. Everything they do backfires on them and they end up worse than they were before. There's an old expression " Always change a losing game." The Palis are too stupid to see the wisdom in that statement. Too much inbreeding I guess.
There will be no terrorist Palestinian state within no borders. Dream on.
"What would you do if you were a Palestinian in their situation"
Listen to the K o r a n and get out of there... I mean if you are truly Muslims.
The Pal-arabs won't be satisfied until Israel is destroyed. That will NEVER happen.
"Palestine" has never and will never be a separate country. You can't build a country based on terror.
For instance - who will run this "country" ? IS, HAMAS or the 80 year old Abbas who has said that his "Palestine" will be "juden-frei" ...
I hope that I AM TOTALLY WRONG! I think we might experience another intifada!
Whether it will Abbas or anyone else, the way to resolve the local Arab Israeli conflict - as well as the regional one - is based on the fundamental elements of international law related to this conflict and the way to resolve it; based on UN Charter, and based on UN Security Council Resolution, 242, 1967.
The fundamental elements of international law related to the conflict and the way to resolve it are the San Remo conference decisions, 1920; and, the League of Nations decisions, 1922.
The relevant element in the UN Charter is Article 80, 1945, which adopts the League of Nations decisions of 1922 and etched them into the UN Charter.
UN Security Council Resolution, 242, 1967, was designed, based on the above, to bring about the territorial aspect of the conflict to an end. It passed the SC unanimously, accepted by all parties to the conflict and served, by consent, as the basis for all peace talks to date and all signed treaties.
Sadly, the Arabs, local and regional alike, now step away from all three, eager to achieve their long hoped for goal - the demise of the State of Israel and the "cleansing" of the Jewish homeland of its Jews - through other means.
Any peace loving person must insist that the above ought to be the only basis on which to achieve, through direct negotiations, an accommodation of peaceful coexistence between Arab and Jew, between the Muslim-Arab world and the liberal-democratic and sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people, the State of Israel.
Foreign Office
November 2nd, 1917
Dear Lord Rothschild,
I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet.
"His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."
I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.
Yours sincerely,
Arthur James Balfour
Both the letter and the spirit of this has been violated!
Indeed, by Britain, the Arabs and later by the UN and the members of the Security Council. But, both the letter and the spirit of this document have remained alive in the form of international law, i.e. San Remo conference decisions, 1920; and League of Nations decisions, 1922, which were adopted by the UN and etched into its Charter, 1945.
And also by the Jews in the Jewish State
That is debatable.
It is! So let the real debate begin!
As a Firm believer in the Jewish Messiah, and on this point I agree with the Pope who said, "Inside every Christian Lives a Jew" I see the Truth in this view recorded in the Book:
In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea,
And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region round about Jordan,
And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said to them, O generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
What is born of flesh is flesh. What is born of Spirit is Spirit.
Go away moron
Too legalistic. Go to Syria for a vacation and you will know the thinking of most Arabs. The Arab side will NEVER make peace. Do you have ears? Abbas says, NO PEACE without the Temple Mount and Israel will never give it up. A chess stalemate. Peace can be achieved. Israel has to take her natural borders unilaterally and then there will be at least a cold peace, such as the one with Jordan and Egypt.
I don't disagree with you. I'll only add: the State of Israel does control its natural boundaries, i.e. the thin sliver of land located between the Jordan River and the Med. Sea. Beyond that, I simply call for trying to achieve an accommodation of peaceful coexistence, not peace, between the Arabs and Jews of the which is defined by international law "the national home of the Jewish people". If the Arabs are ready to do so, based on the above elements, fine. If not, it is for the State of Israel to gradually apply its laws on the entire territory, beginning with Area C.
Enough is enough. Stop rewarding terror. We have no peace partner--we never did. Wall off areas A and B in Judea and Samaria, annex Area C. They want their state so bad, here it is. No East Jerusalem, no "land swaps", you never had any right to any of our homeland and if you had, you lost it by trying to murder us. Declare the borders where we decide it's defensible, and recognize them as their own sovereign state. The moment any kind of attack is carried out, it's an act of war. If we can't have peace, let's have security.
You forgot right of return we want that as well. The world is just plain sick of the continual occupation of the West Bank.
No such right exists - like everything the Islamofascists state - that too is an invention without any basis in reality
"we want"...hum....you have blown up your jewish cover, Mohamad. You can return to your mother's womb
"We" are the Palestinian supporters
Why do you support such a pack on continual losers?
and what right of return want the Palis supporters! Hell is open to everyone who kills unarmed civilians with their hands or their car or... you can return there with them.
The world isn't falling for your crap anymore.
Exactly, right of return to Egypt, Syria, SA etc. Little problem so, they do not want back filth like you.
The "West Bank" that was never Palestinian territory? The land that was our heartland for centuries that we somehow "owe" you for attacking us and losing? Jordan's refugees can go back to Jordan. We don't have to apologize because you attacked us repeatedly and lost pathetically.
It hasnt been your "heartland" for over 2000 years.
Oh, so history means nothing to you? Then by that logic, we can simply deport the Arab refugees and we're all good.
"...a Sephardi Jewish presence in Israel for over four thousand...."
This doesn't negate the fact that it hasn't been your "heartland" for over 2000 years.
or the fact that it has never been any palestinain or arab heartland.
That is in the past. The occupation must stop.
It being Arab land is the past.
yes, arabs must go from the jewish land and stop the occupation.
Unfortunately, it appears things can only get worse from here. Abbas has lost control and seems resigned to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor. I feared this would happen as Israel continued to marginalize him. There was no appetite in Israel to give an inch and what follows is what you see today. Settlement or peace and we all know which choice Israel has continued to make. Despite what Israeli's think of Abbas, and I personally despise the man for his countless bad decisions and tyrannical rule, but he has kept things relatively quite on his end. From the perspective of the Palestinians, he delivered nothing to them but a continuation of more of the same. This is a untenable situation when the Palestinians see no progress towards ending the occupation or in the least settlement expansion is halted. Don't hate the messenger(me) for stating the obvious. Everyone (EU,UN, USA) have been saying to Israel, failure to make progress on the "peace process" will only lead to violence eventually. Such voices were told to shut up - and in many cases mocked as appeasers or worse, called anti-Semites. The situation will unravel in a heartbeat. Abbas will be deposed or at his age will collapse at any minute from all the stress. There is no backup leader. And with Abbas gone the PA security structure collapses. Cells will start to operate on their own and they will metastasize. As we are seeing in Gaza, ISIS cells will start to operate in the West Bank. To see how bad things could get, just look at Syria or Iraq. Wait a minute, you don't need to look that far, what am I talking about, intifada 1 and 2 should be fresh in the minds of many in Israel and beyond. Does Israel have the 3 strikes your out rule? Not sure how transferring 4 million to Jordan will solve anything. Israel faces the mother of all conundrums.
Actually the Putz brought him for the first time. We did not exile him ever.
Joe, go smoke some more of that good weed. Israel has no conundrum.
The Arabs say they must have Jerusalem and Israel will NEVER give it up. This war will not end with a peace treaty or agreement, it will end with unilateral action by Israel. I don't know if 4 million will be transferred, but some will be and Israel will declare her borders.
The entire rest of the world objects to and disagrees with you.
You sound like a pre-WWII German who thought Germany was entitled to impose its will on Europe.
Israel is in an even more untenable position....it has no allies at all on the Palestinian question.
You're confirming what I said about Israel's position.
Are you suicidal?
Don't investigate the killing of a terrorist
