Netanyahu vows action against 'wave of terror' as attacks spread

No matter what the question, the answer is always going to be steal more Palestinian land. But how long can Israel sustain a system of apartheid with denial of human rights for 3 million people and expect them to be docile?

Maybe when The Palestinians stop their wave of terror attacks, recognizes Israel's existence accepts peace and their right to exist, there could be some sit down understanding and building of mutual respect, but until that happens, don't expect or bet on anything, neither side will budge.

Crazy Joe you said it. more power to you.

recognizes Israel's existence accepts peace and their right to exist

Will israel recognize a palestinian state?? Why this one-sided acceptance? If israel wants acceptance let it accept palestinian autonomy first.

Without a doubt. If the Palestinians can promise not to fire anymore Qassam rockets and stop the wave of terror attacks first, I have no doubt they would do just that. But it depends on them, if they want to keep at attacking the Jewish state and refuse to recognize Isreal then the bloodshed will continue and the Palestinans will lose every time, the ball is in their court.

I have no doubt they would do just that.

I do. Bibi said he wouldn't. And NO israeli leader has ever entertained the idea. So where is this assurance coming from??

the ball is in their court.

How do you figure that? These are a scattered stateless people under occupation. Israel is a nuclear power occupying them? The ball is in Israel's court and they're not allowing the Palestinians to play.

Even in relatively peaceful times, Israel have broken from their own guidelines, and bulldozed homes just to expand their own settlements. Israel is going to do what Israel wants to do regardless of international opinion. It's less about Israel's safety than their supporters try to have us believe.

Wasn't it Israelis who committed the last "wave of terror" attack? Will Netanyahu vow to take action agaist them?

Though I feel bad for any innocent victims from both Israel and Palestine, I have to wonder how long this repetitive, violent cycle, will continue? Violent actions and reations, as if something will ever change for the better. How many years have they doing this, but somehow expecting different results? Its pure insanity!

CrazyJoe, et. al.

Do you know what "apartheid" means?

The legality of Isreal's occupation will always be open to debate. But Isreal, is in fact, (NOW) an established state. When tensions escalated, during the 6 day war, '67, a victorious Isreal was able gain even more land (Golan, Gaza, etc).

They're not going anywhere, get used to it.

if they want to keep at attacking the Jewish state and refuse to recognize Isreal then the bloodshed will continue and the Palestinans will lose every time

Yup. And the media will portray isreal as the bad guys like always. It's nonsense.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged firm action

And unlike other world leaders, his resolve is swift & forthcoming. Why tolerate the firebombings, stones, live fire, stabbings or worse suicide bombers?

@ Black Sabbath and other deniers that the Israeli regime is an Apartheid state, both within its legal borders (the ones it acknowledged when it became a UN member state) and in the rest of Palestine.

1) Refugees remain part of the population of where they fled from. It is the very foundation of the notion of Refugees (which became formalized in WW1). If you insist that the Refugees from the part of Palestine renamed Israel are not part of the population of Israel, you must also believe that the refugees from Syria are no longer part of the population of Syria.

2) Japan is a signatory to the ICSPCA, which means that under Japanese law, a state that refuses citizenship/voting rights to enough of its population in a discriminatory fashion that a minority ethnic group within that greater population becomes the majority of the citizenry/voters is an Apartheid state.

So, Israel is as unquestionably an Apartheid state as Obama is the valid President of the United States. As for whether Netanyahu (and the other leaders of the regime, including the Israeli military) are guilty of a crime against humanity, the only requirement for that as heads of (or armed enforcers of) an Apartheid regime is that the Apartheid be maintained through gross violations of human rights, war crimes, and violent oppression of protests against the denial of rights. Arguing that that isn't the case is like arguing human activity isn't causing global warming, it relies on willful rejection of overwhelming evidence.
