Clinton warns Netanyahu not to punish Palestinian Authority for UN bid

Palestinian deserve a state. It is their country what they do what they decide. World nothing done for them they have to create state.If you don,t sacrifice you don't get nothing. Israel is a small country and living on other people land. But the truth is the land, the sand , the wind, the water and people are Arabs, then there is no power on earth can stop them. What they suffering is really temporary.Move on palestenian.

Israel is in violation of most of them anyway. The palestinian's were to be granted a state by now. There wasn't to be any land thieft by Israel. But they have stolen property and contenue to steal property. How do you desolve something that you have already broken? (It is already desolved.) When is the American government going to break some accords of their own and STOP supporting this dog and poney show that Israel calls a government? I am rather tired of America being an act in that three-ringed circus of the three STOOGES! MOE, LARRY and CURLEY! Pull down the tent and send the clowns packing.

they have nothing to worry about in front of an International Court of Justice. Right ?

Signing and implementing Olso brought dangerous consequences!!! 1992 - Rocks being thrown at Israeli citizens 2012 - Katushayas rockets being lobbed at Israeli citizens.

Who cares about Abbas or the PA they have no power no one listens to them. Even if we make peace with Abbas that is the only person we are making peace with not a nation or a country. No one follows him anymore fore sure not Hamas. Also the UN is a big joke The US and Israel and every other nation that has any values should leave it. It is run by corrupt violent nations, enough is enough It is also interesting how there was such backlash from Bibi supposedly interfering in US elections yet the US tells us what to do without blinking an eye.

The american ciizen shells ou 12$ Per person per year for The aid To Israel - Tha cerTainly does noT enTiTle him To deTermine Israel's fuTure

they need us as much, if not more, than we need them. fools think its a one way streak. it isn't in the slightest.

As long as someone does anything you dont like,call it terrorism. Meanwhile they build settlements even though the whole world tell them to stop. Finally Israel will have to be careful,thanks to the brave people of the arab spring who stood up for their opressed brothers & sisters. Egypt & Turkey will put Israel in place.

People would see Israel as spiteful and the cause of the ongoing problems there. Especially, the young multi-culturalist generation in the US...they helped Obama get back at the GOP for blocking his agenda which would have helped all Americans....Dutch

Oslo granted the PA civil authority in exchange for direct negotiations. The minute they refuse to continue direct negotiations they lose that authority. They can't get something for nothing. Similarly, if Egypt were to violate its peace agreement with Israel it would lose the Sinai desert. You can't renege on a contract without consequences.

Did Bibi and the rest listen to President George H Bush the Elder? No. Did Bibi listen to Bill Clinton? Not really. Obama? Nope, three NOs. For almost every visit to Israel related to the peace process by a high profile member of the US government, Israel has announced major new construction in Settlements inside occupied territory. Joe Biden was the last to experience this. He called it a "slap in the face."

Again the arabs try to bypass the law What do they think to gain with thier falsehood.

When in a glasshouse better not throwing around stones.

I wonder what the USA would do if it was Canada or Mexico pelting it periodically with missiles like Hamas has to Israel? You can be certain there would be retaliation without hesitation. But, sitting a good 7-8,000 miles from Israel in Washington DC, it probably doesn't seem near as significant as it should be.

Israel is smart to be cautious about giving the PA too much leniency.

give bibi a brake he got his lesson he knows what punishment he get if tray

he can do nothing he lost all cards unless he like to see the west bank gaza 2 good luck bibi bibi

only solution to crisis is two state side by side. like serbia and bosnia

Israel is a sovereign state which does not have to take orders from anyone. However it should realize that it is also a client state, and without our money and support it isn't going to make it. Choose wisely.

Had we (Israel) taken advantages of past windows of opportunity to negotiate a peace agreement, it would have been us - not Abbas - who would have nominated the change in status of Palestine at the UN! Bibi - Don't compound past errors by fumbling the football now!

When china became a nuclear power usa threw out taiwan from uno. Now iran has become a nuclear power. So it wants to throw out israel for the sake of palestine

While using their veto to support the occupation, settlements and opposing an independent Palestinian state.

The violent Hamas Groom decked the Fatah Bride with just one punch in just one day during their honeymoon matrimonial spat in Gaza and kicked her out and he would do the same to her in the West Bank also if granted a Palestinian State there unless she is totally submissive to him and stays home with the screaming kids while he has some fun playing with his Kalashnikovs and RPGs and aiming them at his Israeli neighbor's house. Shouldn't The Hamas Wolf Over-Stuffed Into The Fatah Sheep Costume Be Exposed At The UN For What It Viciously Is?

What we are seeing now is the culmination of three years of US self searching and secret diplomacy. The first signs of change in US attitude came in March when the White House forced Israel to give up four proposed bills which would have annexed the West Bank in all but name, but I did not expect the first ground-breaking unfolding of the new policy to occur in Gaza. The most significant result of the Gaza truce is that Gaza will acquire real independence. So that made me wonder how the PLO, with its mandate as the only representative of the Palestinians, will fit into Gaza’s putative role as the first independent Palestinian state. It is therefore reassuring that Morsi is going to employ his not inconsiderable prestige to reconcile Fatah and Hamas, and Cliton’s has just shown her concern for the good health of the PA while at the same time sending a broad hint that Palestinian statehood is not such an awful thing, after all. I don’t know why all of a sudden I am beginning to like this lady.

Its blown up in his face ! He picked the wrong fight.

The majority of the Gaza population depends on international aid. Gaza is under siege and due to the blockade normal economic activities have since many years come lo a halt. The pople of the Westbank are intimidated. Occupation and settlements continue. All, the military occupier can think of in response to the Palestinian UN bid, is to design measures to sanction and punish the Palestinian people. How awful!

I'm getting flashbacks from second grade. Are the Palestinians really that stupid?

America doesn't make policy for Israel. She has to learn her place.

The US has up to this point put it's stamp of approval on all Israeli actions no matter how absurd, even when they make a half hearted attempt to protest the illegal settlements! He will do the opposite and then be rewarded with more US welfare!
