If there is a two state solution, then Palestine should be recognized as a sovereign nation. Under the current situation of the Palestinians who are being treated worse than animals in a cage. Additionally, Israel continues confiscating land that is privately owned by Palestinians. Recently the Arab-Israelis are losing their status and their homes are being confiscated in Jerusalem. Pressure should be put on the Israelis to start complying with the UN Resolutions that the US Government always vetoes.

Israel must have a presence in the West Bank to stop rockets from being imported even after a peace agreement is achieved

All Israel has to do to prevent rocket attacks is to respect international law, common human decency, and stop treating the Palestinians as cattle.

the U.S. and others suspect that Iran is constructing nuclear weapons.

The US? Some puppets in governments do make that claim, but there is still absolutely evidence to support it. Just more baseless accusations.

At the news conference, Netanyahu also appealed for tough international sanctions against Iran. He said there is “wide acceptance” of Israel’s view that Iran poses a strategic threat because of its nuclear program.

“The question is, is there a willingness to act. We will soon find out,” he said.

A better question would be "is there a willingness to act against Israel's nuclear weapons program and their latest round of war crimes". Israel is the most deserving of international sanctions, not Iran.

Sabiwabi. There are only two things that will stop the rocket attacks by the Muslim Arabs. One is for Israel to use decisive and overwhelming military power to stop these terrorist groups from attacking. The second is for Israel to cease to exist, which is what these Islamic terrorists seek to accomplish. Muslim Arabs are gonna hate the Infidel no matter what, and the only language they understand is force.

Helter Skelter, Clearly your views do not reflect reality. Please have a look at the UN's Goldstone report. Even the strongly pro-Israel CNN had to admit that it was Israel that broke the truce that led to the Gaza carnage one year ago. Rockets were fired only AFTER Israel broke the truce by murdering several Palestinians. If there are terrorists, it is clearly the Israelis.

And in recent days, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator Max Gaylard said: “The continuing closure of the Gaza Strip is undermining the functioning of the health care system and putting at risk the health of 1.4 million people in Gaza.”

Also: "Hospitals and primary care facilities, damaged during the fighting in Gaza one year ago, have not been rebuilt because construction materials are not allowed into the territory owing to the ongoing blockade, which is now in its third year."

As I said many times: All Israel has to do to prevent rocket attacks is to respect international law, common human decency, and stop treating the Palestinians as cattle.

I am surprised the entire world does not come to the Palestinians aid as well as severely sanction Israel. And all those who prevent the spread of information about Palestinian suffering should be ashamed.

[Helter Skelter, Clearly your views do not reflect reality.] ----- hahahhhahaa!! What? Have you ever gone back and read your own Sabi? Mr. Conspiracy himself talking about reality. Israel keeps the Palestinians at bay because there are those among them that just can't help themselves launching rockets into Israel. So if all have to suffer because of the actions of a few too bad. Calling someone bad because they are defending themselves from those few idiots that choose to launch rockets well then so be it. And those who launch can use the propoganda for the foolish like you who believe it.

Why? It's pretty well known that giving financial aid to the "Palestinians" is worse than flushing it down the toilet. How many hundreds of millions of dollars have gone to the "Palestinians", only to end up in Swiss Bank accounts, arming Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists, and illicit drug trafficking.

A group of naive Jewish philanthropists donated million dollar greenhouses to Gaza in order to help generate income, only to have them torn apart and destroyed. U.N. warehouses have been raided by Hamas so many times, the U.N. filed a formal complaint. Giving aid to the "Palestinians" does more harm than good.

But the bigger question is where are their Muslim brothers from oil-rich nations? Why haven't they done anything to help? It appears the "Palestinians" are much too good a propaganda tool against Israel. A content "Palestinian" population is the last thing they want. Look at all the gullible first-worlders who buy into it.

Rockets were fired only AFTER...

Whatever. Rockets had been fired into Israel for years. They should of put an end to it a long time ago.

prevent the spread of information about Palestinian suffering should be ashamed

What the..? All you ever hear about is the poor "Palestinians". JT has articles daily about the I/P conflict. And of course, the faux concern for the "Palestinians" in strictly driven by political agendas. There's a genocide in Sudan with an estimated two hundred fifty thousand killed that gets a fraction of the coverage. If you were actually concerned about human suffering, which you're not, you'd start there.

The continuing closure of the Gaza Strip is undermining the functioning of the health care system...

Unfortunately there are consequences to Jihad. Put the blame where it belongs, with the Hamas, Fatah, Islamic Jihad, Tanzim, Al Aqsa, PFLP, Al Saiqa, Hezbollah,...

Adamwest:

" Under the current situation of the Palestinians who are being treated worse than animals in a cage. "

Europe and the US are forking money to the PA administration to the tune of hundreds of millions per year; even the islamist Hamas in Gaza just recently got another 500 million cheque from Hillary. Some "animals" in a cage!

Fact is, nothing will stop the islamist hatred of Israel short of Israel ceasing to exist.

By the way, the Jewish presence on the West Bank precedes that of the muslim Arabs by 3000 years, give or take a few. I guess you don´t hear that pointed out in pro-islamic propaganda pieces.

The Israeli government and the beastly right wings extremists are a danger to the whole region.

On Panorama the other day, it showed how Israel is lowly pushing the Palestinians out of East Jeruselem and replacing them with nutcase ultra orthodox Jews with the aid of the brutal military. Israel want the Palestinians out and will continue their violenec and fibs to make their wicked plans work.

Although financial assistance would also be good, that is not what I was referring to. The Palestinians need to be liberated. The Gazans are prisoners living in terrible conditions.

What the world should do is FORCE Israel to respect international law, move back to the pre-1967 borders, and stop treating the Palestinians worst than cattle.

Western leaders fake being shocked as they repeat the usual lies about Iran's alleged nuclear program, and they impose strict sanctions. What they should do is impose those same sanctions on Israel instead of giving them billions every year (what the Palestinians get in insignificant compared to what the Israelis get).

The US/george bush gave Israel $30Billion over 10 years for military spending alone. So that millions you reference is squat.

What the world and Palestine have to understand that no matter what Israel agrees to everybody knows they will break the agreement before too long. It's their custom. < :-)

move back to the pre-1967 borders

The Muslim Arabs were still trying to destroy Israel prior to 1967. So why in the world would you think it would be any different if Israel returned to these borders today? The answer is it wouldn't. Giving back this land would only weaken Israel, which is the only reason the Israel haters keep insisting on it.

what the Palestinians get in insignificant compared to what the Israelis get

Yes, thank goodness. Now if we can only get it down to zero.

US/george bush gave Israel $30Billion over 10 years for military spending alone

Alone? The only aid Israel receives from the U.S. government is military. But why do you bring up Bush when your hero Obama is giving Israel even more money? And how come you never ever complain about the $20 billion Egypt received and $7 billion Jordan received over this same period of time?

The Palestinians get aide and can't make their land productive but the Israelis get aide and have productive land. So EFF the Palestinians. If they spend their aide on arming Hezzies and Hamas then tough luck matey. The Palies deserve absolutely 0 aide after celebrating in the streets when the Twin Towers in NY were hit. Let them eat cake.

Those scum were dancing in the street.

Israel has the right idea, build fences around the Islamic terrorists. Like a terror zoo.

Its hard to be productive when Israeli bulldozers come uprooting the Palestinians' trees. The Palestinians still manage to produce great things, they would be much more productive if they could freely export their produce.

No, it is a well known fact. Quite well documented too, but you'll never dare open your eyes wide enough to see it.
