Netanyahu, show the U.S. that Israel does know its own best interests

In 1929 their was no occupation. Their was no illegal settlements or territory seized by war. Still in one night 67 innocent jews were murdered in cold blood by arabs as they ran through the holy land yelling kill the jew in arabic. What did the arabs want then? They have tried to kill us all many times. They have always failed. Israel owes nothing to them.

recognized " an independent republic within frontiers approved by the General Assembly of the United Nations in its Resolution of November 29, 1947, and that a provisional government has been charged to assume the rights and duties of government for preserving law and order within the boundaries of Israel, for defending the state against external aggression, and for discharging the obligations of Israel to the other nations of the world in accordance with international law. The Act of Independence will become effective at one minute after six o’clock on the evening of 14 May 1948, Washington time"

Mr. Dershowitz is the layer who saved O.J.Simpson from the accuse of murdering his wife and a second person in L.A., so he is what you call a 'celebrity layer', who always finds the time to defend whatever the Israeli politicians decide.

Israel also gave back the Sinai. Every time Israel gives up land Israel suffers. As your comment proves, when Israel gives up land the world does not even notice or care. Nothing will ever be enough. No more land for peace. Israel will keep the land they can have the peace. The land belongs to the jews.

Israel's funds received from the West is based on political considerations. Politicians in the US are dependent on Israeli and Jewish funding. A symbiotic relationship. America is beholding to Israel as much as Israel is beholding to America.

are you actually suggesting that AIPAC benefits America? The relationship is parasitic, not symbiotic.

US politicians are dependent on Israeli funding? Can you name names, or are you just blowing smoke as usual?

destroying Israel and destroying Zionism.

There are not only zionists. there are Israelis also.

The Jews all over the world also. Not every Jew is a zionist.

You should read the pan-arabic polls conducted in 2010 2011.They clearly show that most of the inhabitants of muslim countries are against IRANs nuclearprogram...it´s not "a jew" thing as you try to put it..

the u.n, u.s presidents, ISRAEL gov., e.u. etc

That's all.

The conflicts in these other neighbouring countries are horrendous civil wars and terrorism and do indirectly pose problems to both the Israelis and the Palestinians, but indirectly because the issue with the Palestinians is territorial and can be resolved with the moderates on both sides. With extremist Muslims, one of the ways to deter them from being recruited into terrorism is to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, provide these Muslims with economic supports to modernize, instill democracy and human rights, and to have the Imams participate with their support to reject use of violence. It's become in the last 25 years or so that the extremists want to change the historical narrative of Jews and Muslims coexisting together for centuries in the Middle East. President Obama and Europe are not the saviors for this region, but rather it's an international responsibility that Muslim extremism be rejected. It's important to reiterate that officially the Arab League has declared recognition of Israel and supports the two-states resolution. It's not beneficial to allow the extremists to set the platform for the region.

you gave the right medicine to the sick person.

basic fire-fighting equipment, until some Israelis were killed. BTW-- no one buys at the hasbqra, anymore, so don't offer the much-used goods.

There's no doubt in my mind that this is possible and necessary for global stability. The remaining nations of the Arab League, which are also Muslim, will also achieve peace with Israel as their 2002 Arab Peace Initiative proposed. And the extremist Muslims with their agenda is a relatively new phenomenon because the methodology of the terrorism has exacerbated towards the West - Israel represents also the Western civilization. Al-Qaeda stated that their attacks against NYC, not just 9/11, were in revenge of the conflict between the Palestinians and Israel. The Palestinians want nothing to do with Al-Qaeda, but the animosity creates an excuse for them to exploit the situation. This is also an excuse but that's what they've used for recruiting Muslims and as long as Israel is perceived as occupying the Palestinians, other extremists, such as recently the Pakistani Muslims, are blaming their unrest on Israel. Lastly, espoinage which would prevent terrorist attacks is also very difficult to implement and coordinate against them consistently and it's vital that the Imams be included in educating the Muslims that terrorism has no place in Islam. For example, the current successful cease-fire between Israel and Gaza is holding and it was an additional help that a chief Imam stated that anyone who violates the cease-fire, will be issued a Fatawa against them and it's mentioned by him that it's a disservice to the Palestinian people.

what does D's "analysis" say about Harvard University OMG

It doesn't matter. Palestinians are the only people in the world to enjoy the status of having grandchildren as refugees. If it's right of return for the people who were actually present in 1948, I could live with that. but the idea that there are four million "refugees" is ludicrous.

one for the Jewish people, Israel, and one for the Arabs, today called the Palestinians. There has to be a recognition of concern for Israel's demographic sanctuary for the Jewish people, as it's the only nation persecuted because of (a) its peoples' religion and (b) nationality/culture. In 1948, PM David Ben Gurion accepted this on behalf of the Jewish people, but not the Arabs - just the communists party in Lebanon accepted the new Israeli state. (My father told me he saw a flyer from Lebanon which his Hebrew University Professor in Jerusalem showed him which indicated this fact) Another thing, you are also including all the Palestinians who are considered refugees even though they never lived in Israel or Palestine, that is, they were born outside the Holy Land. Former PM Ehud Barak stated during the Camp David talks of 2000, that " Israel is not responsible for those births". Remember? Now, about the settlements, yes, you're probably right that under international law, Israel was not suppose to have built settlements until a negotiated peace agreement and settling of borders. But do note the fact that these settlements are built on less than 5% of the West Bank territory.

Was started by jews implementing Plan Dalet and previous actions designed to expel ALL Palestinian Arabs from Palestine by any means. Arab states came in after lodging a formal declaration of War in London in order to protect their Palestinian brothers.

@Sol the only thing that is unique is that this have been allowed to go on for so long that we still have refugees that haven't been allowed to return home!

why not? Jews are about 2000 Years homcomers.
