This is the reason there will never be a "one state" solution. Somehow I don't see Israelis being ruled by Sharia Law.

From 1948 to 1967, when Israel had no presence in Gaza, the West Bank or East Jerusalem, the Arabs created no Palestinian state. After the 1967 war, when Israel accepted the land-for-peace formulation in UN Resolution 242, the Arab world, including the Palestinians, rejected it. In 2000, when Israel supported a plan put forth by President Clinton that would have created an independent Palestinian state with a capital in East Jerusalem comprising all of Gaza and virtually all of the West Bank, the Palestinians rejected this too, instead commencing a campaign of bombings that left 1,100 Israelis dead and, not incidentally, 4,000 Palestinians dead as well."

80 years of Arab violence and rejectionism. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB12469368242390403... "For over 80 years, as Morris notes, Palestinians have "persuasively demonstrated" that they do not want any Jewish state in the region, regardless of the boundaries, and regardless of the settlement policy pursued by this Israeli government or that one. The Palestinian rejection of any Jewish state has not merely been the recurring theme of the conflict, but the dominant one. Thus, in the 1930s, the Palestinians rejected a proposed two-state solution that would have created a Jewish state in less than 20 percent of Palestine. In the 1940s, the Palestinians rejected the United Nations partition plan which created a Jewish state on less than half of the arable land in Palestine.

Another dumb comment by the keyboard warrior.

Mondoweiss : Wait, Bibi-- Palestinians can't go buy property in West Jerusalem

Olmert was giving away almost half of Jerusalem. What would have happened if Abbas didn't do what the Palestinians always do, turn down the offer?

It is never going to happen. Most Israelis would fight to the death than be ruled over by Arabs. Just ask some Coptic Christians about their lives are under Arab rule and you will understand why the one state nonsense will never happen.

I remember some Jews living in Iran. The Islamic Republic executed them.

"What it doesn't say is that East Jerusalem residents were offered Israeli citizenship if they renounced the Jordanian one. Basically the same as with the Golan residents. The only difference being that half of the Golan population accepted the offer, but almost no East Jerusalemites. " Exactly right. The progressives totally ignore that fact.

"one woman said. “But the Palestinians should be united. We need freedom, human rights, children’s rights and women’s rights.” " I've spent a lot of time in Arab countries. Woman are treated like garbage in every one of them.

"He quoted the recent Breaking the Silence report and Avraham Burg as signs of moral collapse and hope." Anonymous reports by anonymous soldiers, relating anonymous events. Typical Palaprop. I would recommend: http://www.soldiersspeakout.com/ Soldiers there are proud to be identified. Real Soldieres real testimony. Best of all no Palaprop.

Ezra Nawi is a convicted felon. He should serve his time just like any other violent felon. His being a homosexual has no bearing on the case.

Poor Levy. He wants to see some more bus bombings or another Passover Massacre to make him feel better. Life is way too good in Israel. What a jerk.

Richard Silverstein rarely gets a fact right. I stopped reading his blog, because he made so many errors and when shown he is wrong he throws a fit.

What you have is anonymous reports from an ultra left wing group. The last such reports turned out to be third hand hearsay.

There is no such law and don't bother with UN resolutions they are not binding on international law. General Assembly resolutions are a dime a dozen.

I was amazed at these ta 'ayush phonies who only care about face time on TV and the Arabs. Two Jewish children were attacked by a Paletinian terrorist, one killed and it's dismissed as though it's nothing at all. Just a small matter.

I can't figure out why the "settlers" would be upset. The Palestinians only murdered a child and tried to kill another.

It's unfortunate that blatant Jew haters like you can't accept that Jews are not responsible for the failure of Muslim States.

"Similarly, the Palestinians will continue to insist on a solution to the refugee problem that is based on the relevant stipulations of international law, which give Palestinian refugees a right of return. By the same token, East Jerusalem is occupied territory. It must either become the capital of a future sovereign Palestinian state or, should Israel insist that the eastern and western parts be unified, Palestinians must have the same rights in all the city that Israelis do." http://www.bitterlemons.org/previous/bl290609ed25... 5 to 6 million Palestinians are never "returning" to Isreal. The Palestinians want a 2 state solution. 2 Arab states.
