| [Iran Press TV Latest] The Iranian Parliament (Majlis) Speaker Ali Larijani stresses that the solution to the Palestinian problem lies in collective and serious resistance™ against the Zionist regime. "Due to firm and strenuous resistance™ shown by the Lebanese Hezbollah movement as well as the Palestinian nation, Palestinians and Arabs could witness considerable and impressive achievements in the struggle against Zionist expansionist policies," Larijani remarked in a meeting with the visiting Omani Foreign Minister Yusef Bin Alawi Bin Abdullah, in Tehran on Saturday. The prominent Iranian official meanwhile reiterated that Tel Aviv has never paid heed to legitimate Palestinian demands. He also condemned Israel's continued expansion of settlements in the West Bank. Larijani's comments come a day after the German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said that a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will not be formulated as long as Tel Aviv continues to erect settlements in the West Bank. "A solution has to be found ... but a solution will not be found as long as the settlements continue to be expanded," the German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier told foreign journalists in Berlin on Friday. Under the 2002 Roadmap for Peace that was brokered by the United States, the European Union, the United Nations, and Russia, Israel has to 'dismantle settlement outposts erected since 2001 and also freeze all settlement activity'. More than 285,000 Israelis currently live in the settlements — considered by the international community as having been illegally constructed. The settlements are erected on occupied lands that the Palestinians claim for a future state. |

| #4 The "palestinian" question will be solved immediately after the world acknowledges there is no such thing as a "palestinian". They're just another tribe of Arab, with roots all over, brought together by the Ottomans 800 years ago. The best thing Israel could do is to force all muslim arabs to leave Israel. That includes those living in the "West Bank" and "Gaza Strip". Let them live with their arab brothers in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. Nuke any group that gets too feisty. It may take another thousand years, but eventually they'll get the point. |

| #3 If the Palis want the 'right of return' back to Israeli territory, it would only be fair to allow the 'right of return' to the larger number of Jews expelled from neighboring Arab lands at the same time. Oh Noes Funny how no one ever discusses that. |

| #2 The Palestinians already have a nation state, Jordan. Israel should unilaterally cede Gaza to Egypt; cede the parts of the West Bank they don't want to Jordan; and keep Jerusalem as their capital while offering resettlement to all the arabs remaining within Israel. |

| #1 If resistance has been the key for the last 60 years, how is it working out for you? Not working at all. |
