hopeleaves wrote in #13 And yes, "Palestinians" were created by the Arab world as an excuse to continue to criticize Israel and hide the shame of their own displaced citizens (Egyptians, Syrians, Jordanians,etc.)
...then tell me, what was the excuse for a creation of a state of Israel right there, and where were all the Jews habitate/co-habitate before '1947?
please be objective, it's not black and white like you had accepted.

This is all well and good, and regardless of who *should* own the lands of Israel, the fact is that Israel controls it now and will in the future. So, blowing yourself up or throwing rocks at the problem isn't going to change anything, it hasn't for 50+ years. And yes, "Palestinians" were created by the Arab world as an excuse to continue to criticize Israel and hide the shame of their own displaced citizens (Egyptians, Syrians, Jordanians,etc.) that were abandoned by them after the middle east wars.

The fact is that there are plenty of Arab Muslims, Christians, & Jews living confortably inside Israel who are no different from these so-called "Palestinians".

The Muslim world (mainly Iran) uses the "Palestinians" to fight Israel in proxy wars, similar to the wars fought in the Cold War and especially the broad term "War against Terrorism". Nations funding "stateless" terrorism to accomplish their goals all the while looking like a saint and using plausible deniability for the ignorant masses. Then they point the finger at the US or Israel. This is how the game is played.

The poorest nations on earth have been bred and raised to blindly hate the West, and all of the wealth, freedom, prosperity and happiness it brings, just so their latest caliphate/comrade leaders can continue to stay in power and control every aspect of their lives. If anyone is blind and ignorant, it is those that continue to live in the 8th century.

Jordan and Syria pisss all over the Palastinians and wont let them in their country while Israel lets them vote and gives them medical care.  in return, Iran talks the Palastinians into strapping bombs on their own children to kill some Jews.  What a strang world.

For 63years they" negotiating"with no result except more pain an suffering an less land for the Palastenians.Jews are living peacefully in IRAN an many ARAB countries with freedom of religion,protection etc so why don't the Israiele handover power to the PALASTENIANS(true owners of the land) an give them a chance to rule as you have failed misrebly without acheiving the PEACE which you desire.The most peacful era in the history of JERUSLAM/Palastine was during ISLAMIC/ARAB rule.A united PALASTINE with ARABS an JEWS living side by side with mutual respect for each other is the only solution.

TWO MOUNTAINS --- HOW TO MOVE THEM? Having Israel talk to paid actor Abbas, this is like having Israel talk to USA, as all expenses for Abbas and his fascist PLO killers are paid for by USA. So, exactly what would it take to get Israel to end the brutal occupation by moving its troop back to the 1967 borders? Well, the voting majority Israel, the 51% most educated and wealth who own all their is to own in Israel, their hope upon hope in their hearts is to own all the land in Palestine so they can call it the “Promised Land” of Israel. So, what could be more desirable then stealing all that land at gunpoint? Now Empire USA could care less who gets the land, for when peak-oil has come and gone they plan on vacating such a battlefield and anticipate that bombed back to the stone age will it be and most worthless. Until then, what Israel was created for it will continue on, to be a terrorist state until trading war materials for oil be done.

so this is a news again, if it is conformed then abbas is not a palestenians, he pretented everything he was working for jews of this world . He betreyed the palestinians those who sacrified their lives for the freedom of the world. So jews think they ran their dirteast brain again. I remind the jews again every muslim is a fighter ready to sacrify everything for islam. we dont need any abbas or any league. So called devils on the planet could n't even sotped the brave kids fighting against tanks with stones in the brave young hands of palestenians. They dont care any nukes becous handfull mosquetos cant do anything except few drops of blood.

ISRAEL --- EXILED IN BC 586 RickorTreat
“There is no Palestinian people, they are former Jordanians or Egyptians.“ LIGHT
There is no Israeli people, as Israel existed for only 819 years, then in BC 586 God exiled all Hebrews to Babylon and gave back the promised land to the original indigenous tribes, such as the Canaanites. RickorTreat
“land the Israeli army concurred in defensive wars, that land is theirs.“ LIGHT
The corporate rich who rule Empire USA, they funded and armed the Zionist state that invaded Palestine in 1948 and established a dictatorship over it. Surely, for not until the 1900’s were the Jews more then 6% of the population of Palestine. RickorTreat
“Only Israel can grant Palestine a state of their
own and it will only do so, if there is a benefit to it.“ LIGHT
If only a dictator can decide when its slaves may have freedom, then planet earth must be a paradise for those with a dictator mentality. RickorTreat
“Israel has to control the flow of goods into the territories.“ LIGHT
Of course, for what dictator could be a dictator if it did not establish an absolute police state. RickorTreat
“The Palestinians are the biggest obstacle to an agreement, neither the West Bank or Gaza governments are legal.“ LIGHT
The “agreement,” a/k/a the Peace Process, this is a 63 year old ethnic cleansing holocaust designed by the CIA to perpetuate terrorism in the Middle-East, to maximize the trading of oil for war materials made in USA. RickorTreat
“The US likes Israel isolated and dependent on it's military,
it is a way to keep the Military Industrial complex making profit.“ LIGHT
Twelve super-rich Zionists rule Israel and they are in perfect harmony with all the corporate rich who Rule Empire USA. So take care, for when anyone tells you that Empire USA Israel is not in perfect harmony and one in the same power combine, they are using darkness to enrich themselves upon your misery.

There is no Palestinian people, they are former Jordanians or Egyptians living on land the Israeli army conqurored in defenive wars. That land is theirs the same way the land around the northern coast of the Black Sea belongs to Russia after it took the land back from the Ottoman empire.

So any threats by the Palestinains or attempts to gain sympathy from the outside is worthless. Only Israel can grant them a state of their own and it will only do so, if there is a benefit to it!

To be sure, their is a cost to Israel to maintain the current situation, all the border guards and people in the military are being diverted from more productive enterprises. The cost to the Palestinians is higher as to protect itself, Israel has to control the flow of goods into the territories.

The Palestinians are the biggest obstacle to an agreement, neither the West Bank or Gaza governments are legal, their terms have expired and they haven't held new elections, something no legitimate government would ever do! As such they have no standing to represent the Palestinian people or make a deal, so why should Israel deal with them?

The US likes Israel isolated and dependent on it's military, it is a way to keep the Miulitary Industrial complex making profit. Israel itself has little reason to want a 2-state solution. It only makes sense if the Palestinains and Gazans agree to guarantee peace and prevent attacks against Isreali citizens, and recognize Israel. Until they are willing to do that, there is nothing to talk about!

BRUTAL IMPERIALISM --- PLUNDER MOST GENOCIDAL Abbas is the President of nothing, absolutely nothing, as his term in office expired years ago, as his fascist PLO did overthrow Hamas in a coup years ago. For Abbas takes his orders directly from the multinational corporate rich who rule Empire USA, who created Zionist Israel to forever terrorize the Middle-East into trading oil for war materials made in the USA. For the voting majority in Israel, the 51% most aggressive and wealthy in Israel, until they are all shipped back to Europe, never will there be an end to the genocidal Holocaust and ethnic cleansing of the indigenous tribes of Palestine.
