Great blog

the main issue

Mr.Abbas speaks in english to european and american media different than he speaks in arabic for his own people.Even here -nothing about palestinian recognition of israel as a JEWISH STATE.What he wants is to move Israel to the 1967 borders,and after that-new wave of terror and pressure to on Israel to accept the palestinian refugees-means the end of Israel.
so as an israeli i will never agree with that.

Palestinian Nation

Recogition for a Palestinian State is long overdue. The US needs to stop putting up roadblocks and give Palestine the same support it gives Isreal. Isreal commits the same acts it condemns. Isreal not only needs to recognize Palestine as a nation but respect their rights as an equal.

Stocks slipped 138 points yesterday.

Dow tumbled 138 points yesterday. I fear by next week it will plunge another 500! That is crappy.. I am already on my way to losing my car.. anyone know a good bankruptcy lawyer?

Palestine

There was a democratic Gov. of Whole Palestine before the declaration of Independace by Israel after the Jews took Haifa , I believe the best solution is going back to the System of Whole Palestine where evey body fulfills his prayers according to his religion either Jew or Christisn or Moslim...as USA or Swiss...

No to Palestinian State

This is outrageous and crazy. No one can tell Israel to split their country because the Europeans feel they need to do so. Should they recognize a Palestinian State, a new war will emerge and the Palestinians again will lose, but this time for good. Tell Abbas to sit down with Natanyahu and negotiate, that's his only hope.
