I like this stand, it's the only stand. The Zionist agenda is clear and while everyone is talking peace Israel is swallowing up what's left of Palestine (and the people with it). I wonder if Americans understand the danger Israel poses to all of us? Palestine is just on the frontline and we can witness the beast through Palestine. Why gloss over it? It is on our way to our house!

Say there Ahdafot, let me bring up a point about your "client state" Israel. You think they are your ally, you as an American. You want to defend their colony because the U.S. supports it. As if Israel is a sweet child against the big bad wolf Arabs (in the Arab world no less but I guess you have a rationalization for that). Although you support them because they are white like yourself ( I gather because of your "Pax" signiture) and you identify (again, since they are obviously not semitic I'm sure you have a ready rationalization for that also) but I wonder how you will feel when you realize your nation is actually Israel's client and your wallet is thin (er) the green worthless paper only fills out the wallet a tad? Do you think the anglo Jews will take care of you goy? Don't you even know what you are to them? You are the hen defending the fox, how foolish! But you will come to know.

You saying that the land from the river to the Sea is the land of Palestinians doesn't make it so. Palestinians would have been better off by responding non-violoently than murderously. Their method hasn't gotten them what they wanted in 60 years, why persist in trying it for even one more year? Gandhi and King accomplished more in less time.

Allah did not give to that land to anybody except whoever lives on it now. This is the way of the world, and the sooner the Palestinians accept that, the better their futures will be.

Palestninans are finally uniting against Hamas because of the false promises and lies of mythical liberation and improvement. The past months prove that Hamas is only for Hamas leadership and the people finally tire of being deceived.

Sweet dreams, guys about your laundry list of demands and wishes!

Palestine is as much Homeland to Jews, as to the Arabs, and actually more to Jews than to Arabs, because it is their ONLY Homeland, The Land of Israel in Palestine for the last 3,000 years, And it's not just another 23-rd Arab country.

No matter what your reasons are – Nationalistic or Islamistic – you should consider making compromises with Israel, so that both nations – Jews and Arabs could share the safe and prosperous future. Especially on the right of return – that's a sure deal breaker,

Your Palestinian brothers are rotting in concentration "refugee" camps if Syria and Lebanon, who don't give a dan, while you are taking your "Noble" stand. Jews want to live and let others to live, that sounds much more appealing, than kill others and die yourself. Think about it.

Yes, Yousef Abudayyeh, compromise can be dangerous and we must refuse to accept Zionism-lite as helpful and harmless. We have seen what happens when they are give an inch. Accepting the state of Israel as a legitamate country is accepting zionism as a legitamate belief. it is wrong. It is evil. We must continue to pound away this fact until it is understood by all.

I agree a comprimised peace which validates colonial zionism isn't in anyones best interest. And religion does more to mask the issues at hand: disposession and colonialism.. However, I think having an anti-zionist jewish presence within the overall cause helps diffuse calls of anti-semetism, however ungrounded, and delegitimizes that zionist arguement about 'what's good for jews'. here in NYC there was good collaboration and solidarity among many organizations of all flavors during aparthied week. Really, whatever brings people together for good should be encouraged, and hopefully some of these splinter groups will merge as progress is made, and more clarity is gained about their aims.

@Shaukat - Palestinians don't need religion to back up their rights as humans. And if some country, Muslim on not, make stand and help the Palestinians, it is because justice and awareness of the Palestinian tragedy, not standing with Muslims only because they are Muslims, then there is no different between this ideology and the one zionists have, we and they, two fundamentalist fighting each other. Thanks we don't need this kind of help. You stand up for other people rights regardless their religion, race, believes, and background, and nothing else.

Palestine doesn't have that kind of support. The 'right of return' if the conditions favor the goal is completely possible, but I don't see Israel being allowed to just vanish. I understand the reasoning, but the logistics of it escape me.

Good points but far away from historical reality.

Calling Palestinian struggle a 'national cause' has been tried by Gemal Nasser, Saddam Hussain, Assad and all sort of Arab puppets and dictators – and they proved again and again that they were using Palestinian cause to keep themselves in power. From the very first day – the Arab leaders were ready to recognize Jewish occupation of Palestine – the only problem they have is – who is going to push his neck first.

How can Palestinians sell their cause to the Islamic world without religious ground? Why would Palestinians' greatest supporter, Islamic Iran (a non-Arab nation), take shit from all Zionist controlled western governments – if the Palestinian cause is not Islamic?

When was the last time or ever – the Arabs got their freedom and setting-up of their great empires in the Middle East, Spain and North Africa – before they became Muslims?

When was the last time Arab Christians and Jews lived in peace in Jerusalem – until it was brought under Muslim rule in 638?
