Repugnant. The Israelis never get tired of abusing the human rights of the Palestinians.

Any chance we could stop sending Billions of US taxpayer $$ to racist Israeli regime?

If Netanyahu wins and annexes the West Bank, it proves 60 years of American support of Israel a colossal mistake.

Israelis want the land, but they don't want the people. (Thus, they don't want a two-state solution.) 

Given that they don't want to permit the Palestinians to have full Israeli citizenship, and they don't want to cede their territory back to the Palestinians, the only solution left is apartheid. Palestinians will be subjects of the Israeli government, but will not enjoy civil rights. Gaza becomes Soweto.

I'm sympathetic to Israeli concerns about sovereignty and security. Their neighbors haven't been very hospitable. But if you want to claim the high road, you can't take the low road, too. You cannot keep millions of Palestinians in a permanent second-class status.

Israel has three choices. It can establish a Palestinian state. It can absorb Palestine into it and give the Palestinians full rights as citizens of Israel. Or it can continue the apartheid it currently conducts.

Which is it, Israel?

One day, the world can be ended, but the problem between the Israeli and Palestinian will never end. The more Palestinian demand, the more they lost lands. I don't see any chance of Palestinians to have their own Palestinian State in future.

Israeli Government should not evict Palestinians from West Bank, where a new settlement was approved and Israeli Government must offer Israeli citizenship to Palestinians who are living on annexed Palestinian land.

The Israeli Government eviction of Palestinian peoples from their lands without compensation was unfair and it will reflect a bad image of the Israeli Government in the international community.
