Please do not assume that all Jews favor what the Israeli government is doing to the people of the Gaza strip.

Israel has no interest in a 2 state solution. They just want to eliminate the Palestinian state.

They are pretending to be deaf. Explode bombs in front of them, they will listen to each and every thing.

A "two state solution" is a fiction. Who would run this Palestinian terror state? Why, Iran of course, through Hamas who will quickly usurp the dwindling remnants of "Presidentt" Abbas' authority.

Israel has become a pariah state in the last 25 years, because of it's subjugation of the Palestinian people. Surely people understand this position has caused anti Semitism to rise across the globe, and strengthen Arab positions.

Shihadeh: “Israel has no interest in a 2 state solution. They just want to eliminate the Palestinian state.”

I would be reluctant (to say the least) to accept a comment like this from a person who calls himself “martyr”. Have you ever read the Hamas Covenant or the Palestinian National Charter? Both explicitly call for the elimination of Israel. Anyone supporting those two documents has no right to complain when the object of their aims chooses to defend itself by whatever means possible. Learn about the simple principle of cause and effect.

Sami: “They are pretending to be deaf. Explode bombs in front of them, they will listen to each and every thing.”

It hasn’t done much good for the Palestinians, has it? “Exploding bombs in front of us” has only perpetuated the cause and effect circle of violence.

A Palestinian bombs a shopping mall… Israel retaliates… Palestinians retaliate against the retaliation… Israel retaliates against the retaliation for the retaliation for the retaliation… and so on.

Let me hear either or both of you say you support a peaceful Palestinian state existing alongside Israel and we have something to talk about. Continue to bluster and demand conditions that even the victor in a war wouldn’t demand from the loser and all you’ll get will be more years of frustration.

It’s easy to blame Israel, isn’t it? It’s so much easier to blame someone else than it is to take responsibility for your own actions, both as individuals and as a nation. Tell me, why did the Palestinians refuse to accept partition four times in history?

Partition into two states was first proposed by the British in the 1920s, in a plan where Arabs would have received around 80% of the Mandate land west of the Jordan River (after “Transjordan” was created by the British and handed to Abdalla I), the Peel Commission (1937) offered around 65% of the same Mandate land, the UN Partition Plan offered 45% and Israel offered the West Bank and Gaza (around 25%) at Camp David in 2000. Arabs did not accept any partition; the only solution Arab population would accept was ALL the land.

Do Palestinians, even today, want their own country, or do they just want to take over what others have built?
