JERUSALEM – Tzipi Livni, who hopes to be appointed Israel's prime minister-designate, said Monday Israel must give up considerable territory in exchange for peace with the Palestinians, drawing a clear distinction with her rival, Benjamin Netanyahu.

She told a convention of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Organizations, "we need to give up half of the Land of Israel," using a term that refers to biblical borders that include today's Israel, the West Bank and Gaza.

She explained that such a withdrawal would be for the good of Israel, to maintain it as a Jewish state.

Livni told the U.S. Jewish leaders that Israel must take the initiative and come forward with its own peace plan to head off international programs. "Any plan put on the table will not be in our interest," she said.

Livni's centrist Kadima Party won one more seat than the hawkish Likud, led by Netanyahu. He opposes large-scale territorial concessions in peace talks with the Palestinians. He believes negotiations should concentrate instead on building up the Palestinian economy

what do you guys think

the earlier Netanyahu forms a coalition the better for Israel . . . all this land for peace has brought more trouble.

This terrorist daughter of a terrorist should shut the f*ck up and give up the stolen lands.

What is the meaning of "land of israel" someone should tell her those lands are not recognised my mordern political boundaries, if she wanted to call it that she should have lived 3000 years ago and not now.

So you agree that ancestrally, that land no doubts belong to Isreal. How then can they steal the land that belonged to their forefathers? In my opinion, the thief is the one who knows that the land does not belong to him but is using every means possible to deprive the rightful owners of their inheritance!

Who gave the land to those wandering Arabs? Or did they buy it from the prior occupants?

Bros help me ask the biased unreasonable fellow.
Supporting troublemakers. and to make it more annoying, these nomadic arabians called Bedouins were not really very much prevalent when Israel returned in 1948. They only started fighting out of jealousy because of what Israel turned the desert land into.

This pseudo arab slave of allah should shut the f*ck up and stop perpetuating lies.

Land of Israel = Land of the jews . . . tell your arab usurpers to go and find some other desert to live in.
60 yrs ago Jordan didnt exist, had no recognized modern political boundaries and did not belong to arabians . . . shld we tell them to move out too? Hypocrite. Netanyahu will take over the government . . . i will only be too glad to watch you spawns of evil weep blood when he starts pounding those miserable insects in Gaza to dust. Allahu arched bar.
