Trump: 'Close the open hand out of love' : Comments

By Alon Ben-Meir, published 16/1/2017

Do not give Netanyahu what he wants. If you do, you will rob the vast majority of Israelis and Palestinians of everything they aspire for.

Funny how "palestinians" were part of Jordan prior to 1967?

The Israelis are the only ones in this debate that have done what they said they would. With no elected palestinian leaders, no recognition of the right of Israel to exist, and wildly unrealistic preconditions, the Palestinians are clearly not prepared to negotiate.

Yes, of course, "everyone knows", well that proves it then, especially as they say it in English.

Don't bother with proof then, that's OK, if everyone knows it it must be true.

Yes, they said the West Bank was theirs, and they took it, they said they don't want a two nation solution, so they set about making it impossible.

There is only one country that can bring about peace and that's Israel, and they have no desire to do so.

If you are simply going to post BS perhaps you should go on twitter. The capture of the west bank occurred only during a war started by the Arabs in 1967, after it was captured and annexed by Jordan in 1948. Israel met its agreements set at the Oslo accord, while the Palestinians did not.

Secondly, Israel cannot unilaterally create peace, it requires the commitment by the palestinians to negotiations and restraint which has been completely absent.

Dear Billy,

«There is only one country that can bring about peace and that's Israel»

There is only one person who can bring about peace and that's you.

«and they have no desire to do so.»

Rather, they have no ability to do so.
For the last couple of decades or so, Israel can no longer control the Jewish settlers of the West Bank, whether it wants to or not.

If you are so keen on peace, then why select this part of the world of all places and those two specific groups of all people, many of which are, as individuals already at peace with each other?

Dear SM,

«Secondly, Israel cannot unilaterally create peace, it requires the commitment by the palestinians to negotiations and restraint which has been completely absent.»

Why Palestinians, of all people?
They have nothing, they can't do anything, they are totally irrelevant and Israel doesn't need them!

Israel cannot create peace because it is torn from within and has no peace within itself.

Shadow. If you continue to act intellectually superior, you should try getting your facts right, or it looks as though you are making it up as you go along.

History Lesson #1 for Shadow

Israel attacked first in 1967.
