Does Israel really really really want peace?

In his speech on Sunday at the Bar Elan University, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel could accept a peace agreement with a "demilitarized Palestinian state" as its neighbor among other things: unequivocal Palestinian recognition of Israel as the Jewish national state with Jerusalem as its capital, and full demilitarization for a Palestinian state with no army, no rockets or missiles, no control of airspace.

Mr. Netanyahu’s speech was a direct defiance and challenge in response to President Obama’s calls for the creation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel and for a cessation to the building of Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian land.

According to Mr. Netanyahu, "I say this in a clear voice — if we receive a guarantee of this demilitarized unit, we will be prepared to reach agreement to a demilitarized Palestine side by side with the Jewish state."

Mr. Netanyahu’s speech has proven that he is not only unrealistic but from ever indication, he is determine to continue with Israel’s long standing apartheid policy, injustice and illegal land grab against the Palestinian people.

What are your views regarding Mr. Netanyahu’s speech, do you think Israel really want peace?

    What IF the State of Israel was given the following ultimatum?

    An unequivocal Israeli recognition of a Palestine state with Jerusalem as its capital, and full demilitarization for a Israeli state with no army, no rockets or missiles, no nuclear war head, no control of it’s own airspace?

    Would Hitler have willing let the Jewish go free? Israel is very comfortable maintaining the concentration camps in Gaza etc.

    The word Israel is synonymous to the phrase “double standard,” with a massive stock piled of some of the world’s most sophisticated military weapons and with at least 250 nuclear warheads with some pointing at Iran, they have the audacity to ask the Palestinian for full demilitarization with no army, no rockets or missiles, no control of airspace.

    Not one of you understands the true situation and merely sit upon your racist and narrowminded theories. As soon as the Palestinians would be granted their own country, there would be an immediate war made on Israel. You people do not understand history. In 1948, after the United Nations partitioned Palestine and the Middle East as we know it today, it was the Arab nations that attacked Israel. Had the Arab nations accepted the partition, there would never have evolved the problems we see today. So, it was the Arab nations that started the military conflicts. Likewise, they started the war in 1956. If the Arab world would accept a Jewish state in their midst, a country created by the United Nations, then Israel would agree to a partition of 2 states, one Jewish and on Palestinian. Moreover, the only real precondition that Israel has ever asked for is that the Palestinian and Arab nations recognize Israel’s right to exist and to exist as a Jewish nation – - and this they cannot do. Why? Because what they want is everything, with every Jew killed and out of the land. Therefore, with this knowledge in hand – why make peace? Finally, with regard to President Obama, let him worry about this country. We have many problems that need fixing [i.e. the economy, unemployment, health care, etc.]. Let him first fix our country before he tried fixing someone else’s.

    Israel wants peace. That’s why they voted for Livni.
