Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, Mikhail Gorbachev, Prince Albert of Monaco and Barbra Streisand will all go, so why won't Stephen Hawking?

"Israel is an island of reason, moderation and a desire for peace,"

Who else other than Netanyahu and Singer could make or repeat a statement like this with a straight face and not expose themselves to the ridicule of the world. Israel is an embarrassment to Jews and non-Jews worldwide. Unlike in 1948 or 1967 communications today can inform us on a daily basis of the atrocities and humiliations suffered by Palestinians at the hands of their Zionist persecutors. It beggars belief that the people of Israel and their government cannot see that their policies will not lead to peace and security.

http://www.ae911truth.org/ Know the truth about why not only the twin towers collapsed but also building 7 which no plane impacted.

Here you will see the absolute scientific proof that controlled demolition was the source of the destruction and not planes driven by terrorists.

What has this got to do with Israel? Just google the four dancing Israelis on youtube.They knew.

If you care to tell me what you object to in my article I will reply to you.

# David G and Stan 1

Since Israel has offered to cede its claims in more than 90% of the territory claimed by the PLO in 2000/2001 and 2008 - I think Netanyahu's statement to be quite justified

#Pericles and # mac

Hawking obviously prefers the company of the PLO ,Hamas and Hezbollah. That is his choice. It would be nice if he gave us his reasons.

Perhaps Mr Hawking was also aware of the following.

The UN view of the Palestinian Territories can be seen at
the following URL:
http://unispal.un.org/pdfs/OCHA_IsrSettlementPolicies.pdf

The West Bank and East Jerusalem is occupied Palestine (bilaterally recognised by 132 nations in the world including India, China, Russia, Brazil, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Iceland).

Palestine is officially a non-member State and recognised by the UN. 138 nations supported Pales-tine last November in its successful bid for statehood. France, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Greece, Cyprus and Malta were among many European nations to support Palestine. Their vote for Palestine was important as were those cast by India, China, Russia, Brazil, Japan, Mexico and New Zealand who supported Palestine too. The Secretary General of the UN and Vatican Church welcomed the re-birth of Palestine.

However, Palestine (West Bank and East Jerusalem) is still illegally held and sadly Israel's Prime Minister Mr Netanyahu has ignored the ruling of the International Court of Justice (subsequently sup-ported by the UN and EU) with respect to the "separation barrier". This "wall" is 3 times the length of the Berlin Wall.

UNESCO’s recognition of Palestine in 2011 was supported by France, Spain, Ireland, Belgium, Norway, Greece and other European nations.

Please also see UNSC Resolution 478 concerning Jerusalem. The 4th Geneva Convention is applicable to all the Palestinian Territories.

International law and UN Resolutions (over which there are over 150) are ignored by Israel's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister.

UN Resolutions specify Israel's illegal hold of the Palestinian Territories to be a violation of the 4th Geneva Convention and as such is a War Crime under international law. More so now, that settlements are being placed in another nation.

UN Security Council Resolution 478 (1980) of 20 August 1980 - BINDING

UNSC deems Israel's claim to Holy City as "Null and Void".
