A new Israeli air defense system being developed in partnership with the United States met all its objectives in a series of recent live interception tests, U.S. and Israeli officials said Wednesday, putting it on course for deployment by next year

Netanyahu clarified his position later. He was never against a Pal state on principle, just not one created at this point in time.

"Clarified". He just changed his wording so that the west doesn't make sanctions against him, US was pretty pissed by what he said. But this doesn't change his position, he doesn't want a 2 state solution, he just makes up reasons as to why it won't work and then points his finger to others and say they're the reason that it doesn't work. He clearly stated during his election that he doesn't want a two state solution, if you believe the shit he talked after the election was over, then do so, but I don't believe him. I don't think he really wants a solution for this issue.

On the third map it's even written: "1967: In a rapid six-day conflict on three fronts, Israel wrests control over..." Doesn't this mean that the territory was before this Palestine? And if you compare how much the Israeli settlements grow, you can clearly tell, that more and more territory gets into the hands of Israelis. this territory was owned by Palestinians before this!

And here from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine#British_mandate_and_partition](wiki):

Following what is known as the 1948 Palestinian exodus, the 700,000 Palestinians who fled or were driven from their homes were unable to return following the Lausanne Conference of 1949.

And to b..

Palestinians won't allow Jews basic human rights in any part of their homeland.

"Homeland", you can look on wiki just how much this is their homeland.

Among Jews, 70% were Sabras (Israeli-born), mostly second- or third-generation Israelis, and the rest are olim (immigrants)

Second or third generation isn't really long. In 1800 there were 7k jews and 246k muslims in Palestine. 1922 84k jews and 589k Muslims, 1944 630k jews and 1181 muslims and now 2014 75% jews and 21% arabs in Israel. Isn't it more like the Palestinians being driven out of their homeland?

And maybe you should add that Israel, too, doesn't allow Palestinians basic human rights in their homeland.

You know what disgusts me? People who change the wording to make it sound better for them, changing "reason" to "reasonable" to have a completly different meaning and make the other person look bad.
