    “We are for a two-state solution. We need to ensure Israel’s security that’s obvious. There is no peace and security without justice for the Palestinians, but let’s be frank justice hasn’t been given to the Palestinians,” Fabius told France Inter radio.

    This is anti-semitic. How is it that there is no justice for the Palestinians? Israel already tried giving them the whole thing and the pals refused it because they wanted all refugees into Israel itself (to destroy the Jewishness of the country)…Hamas goal openly is to destroy Israel…Even the plo with Arafat rejected all the land to start the first intifade with suicide bombers…

    Look at all the peace the muslims create everywhere…anyone trying to make peace peace between Israel and them is actually trying to weaken or destroy the Jewish state. Yes, there is peace with Egypt and Jordan, but that is more likely due to their inability to destroy us than otherwise. A side by side state with the Palestinians won’t work – it’s in the scriptures, ours and theirs.

    Better stay home. Don’t be so arrogant and gullible and naive to believe you or anyone else can accomplish the impossible, something no one before you has ever been able to accomplish. There can not be peace with the Paris because they don’t want peace. They want Israel with the Jews gone.
