91. ME False Peace
friend of Israel ,   NC,USA   (12.08.06)
We didn't vote for George W. Bush to get his daddy's friends in position to harm Israel. The Republican base is by and large very pro-Israel and totally opposed on biblical grounds to her giving up any of her hard won territory. This is sheer betrayal of the true Christian base as well as Israel.
92. well, how about a conference without ARABS?
John ,   US   (12.08.06)
after all, they and their cult they follow ARE resposible for most of the terrorism in the world today, whereas Israel is an actual recognized democratic country. i say boot the arabs, then youll get something done... ah but, then you wont satisfy your backwards anti-semetic thirst.
93. America will stand by Israel
johnvol ,   Nashville, Tn. USA   (12.08.06)
I love my country and I believe it is the "home of the brave".Having said that I know in my heart the American people will always be there for Israel.The forces of evil believe that America is weak and will not come to Israel's aid.One day that perception will be proven wrong.
94. Baker
Eric ,   Paradise   (12.08.06)
As an Evangelical Christian who loves Israel, I am very disapointed in my country if they follow thru. As several have said, when you leave it up to state dept. weenies, these people don't know anything but appeasment. We are stuck with a president that s tiering of the good fight, and you have a PM who would make Nevil Chamberlin proud. I pray for you country all the time, and will continue to due so. As has also been said G-D will not be mocked, and the Jews are his chosen people. I will continue to pray for your country, and will also write to thise who might listen. Know that many in my country will not stand for this with out a fight. We certianly not vote for anyone who would sell Israel out. You should also vote out those who are trying to achieve peace thru your birthright . Sholom
95. Peace without Israel?
Cal ,   U.S.   (12.08.06)
This is the most redundant thing I have ever heard of. Sittng at the same table with people who want to kill you is brainless! You cannot make deals with terriorist and the devil himself. Baker himself is a Jew hater, I think Bush has lost his way and sees no way out otherwise why would he even CONSIDER taking advise from people like this. Yes in the end the whole world will be against Israel and it is coming sooner rather than later. If Bush agrees to have a meet without Israel then we have forsaken them and the Lord says "Whoever is against my people, I will be against." Watch out America we are going down the road of Sodom and just maybe in the twinkling of and eye with a bomb on our east coast. Wake up Bush before it is too late. In the end God will save some of his people and defeat all of its enemy's!!!!!!!! The word of God says so as he will defeat them Himself.
96. America the Betrayer will reap God's Wrath
Craig ,   USA   (12.08.06)
I remember reading some 20 years ago that James Baker was anti-Jewish. America has been taken over by scum.
97. there is hope
steven ,   memphis, tn   (12.08.06)
i've read about it and thought i would never see it. "all nations will come against Israel" it's starting to look that way, but no fear. All those who believe in Jesus Christ shall be saved and He will not let Israel be destroyed and then they also will believe that Jesus is truly the Son of God and the true Savior of this world. My name is Steven. Remember that I told you this when you are bowing before Christ at the end of time as we know it. God Bless Israel and all the believing Gentiles and have a Merry CHRISTmas.
98. Baker's bad idea
Connie ,   Guelph, Ontario   (12.08.06)
What is the U.S. thinking? It's generally not good for diplomacy to leave a major player out of talks. Israel is being treated like a classroom bully about to be expulsed from school when a more thorough investigation of the conflict is needed. Baker's idea gives the Arab nations the impression that they're not doing anything wrong. Meanwhile, they've been pushing all of the little kids down at recess and stealing all of their milk money. I would also agree with comment #1 that making a decision for peace on behalf of Israel has all of the markings of the Anti-Christ.
99. Peace talks without Israel
Paul Oliver ,   Riverside, USA   (12.08.06)
Peace talks in the Middle East without Israel makes as much sense as holding a conference on how to obtain eternal life without including the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The covenant that God made with Abraham underguirds any and all aspects of real peace in the Middle East. Jews, Muslims and Christians all claim Abraham as their Father but all seemingly have chosen to neglect doing the deeds of Abraham upon which God's promise to fulfill His covenant agreement is based. For men to think that apart from consideration of God's involvement in the land and the people of Israel, that they are going to come to some viable peaceful solution apart from the 'pressure of Israel' is to proceed in the same ignorance that 2000 years of Middle Eastern diplomacy and manipulation by the worlds powers has produced. Israel has been promised both a land and a Messiah, Israel is coming back into 'their' land, Edom can offer them safe passage or face their promised Messiah but they cannot stop either. If the world, including Israel, truly wants peace, then it's time to find out what Abraham's deeds were and to earnestly begin to practice them. The acts of the Fathers are indeed portents for the sons.
100. Mid east conf. without Israel
R. Veitschegger ,   Bowling Green, KY US   (12.09.06)
The Democrats have lost their reasoning power. Lives of millions of Jews are at stake. The Muslims won't stop at devouring Israel. Why don't these politicians WAKE UP!!??
101. All Jimmy Carter's fault!
R. Veitschegger ,   Bowling Green KY US   (12.09.06)
Jimmy Carter sold out the Shaw and let the Mullah's take over Iran. We wouldn't have all this mess with Muslim terrorists if Carter had had half a brain.
102. Right on...Maria T.
R. Veitschegger ,   Bowling Green KY USA   (12.09.06)
You are so right. The Muslims have assumed that the non-muslim world will not have the stamina to fight back. It appears they are correct. If they are not stopped now, eventually all non Muslims will be their slaves...as were the Balkans under the Ottoman empire.
103. "Joke which is U.S."
R. Veitschegger ,   Bowling Green KY US   (12.09.06)
The U.S. has been, and still is the best friend that Israel has had. Go back to Israel and turn you backs on the U.S. and you surely will go down the tubes. This currrent "pansy" attitude of the Democrats is not the whole story. The U.S. does still support Israel.
104. "Screw America"??
R. Veits ,   Bowling Green KY USA   (12.09.06)
Don't give up on America for help to our friend, the state of Israel. Only a part of the people speak as the Democrats do. Most Americans, in my opinion, are solidly behind Israel. The media makes it appear that the Irael haters have taken over. It is not so. Not yet.
105. Zechariah 14:1-3, 9, 11
Courtney ,   Pickens, SC   (12.09.06)
Behold the day of the LORD is coming, and your spoil will devided in your midst. For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; the city shall be taken, the houses rifled, and the women ravished. Halk of the city shall go into captivity, but the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then the LORD will go forth and fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle. 9 - And the LORD shall be King over all the earth. In that dayit shall be - "The LORD is one," and His name one. 11 - The people shall dwell in it (Jerusalem); no longer shall there be utter destruction, but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
106. I'M ASHAMED
Elizabeth USA ,   Colorado, USA   (12.09.06)
I am ashamed to be an American, with the likes of Jimmy Carter and his idiot book's views and James Baker! I hang my head in shame and pray the God of Avraham, Issac and Yakob deal with their anti-semetic, hatefilled and deceived hearts!
107. Radiacl Islam
Darryl Hansen ,   Port Orchard, USA   (12.09.06)
I am a Bible believing Christian, and in my opinion Israel would be far better off not relying or depending on the US government's help in solving the present problems she is facing. Muslims are all genetically related to Ishmael (the bad seed of the Bible) and neither their words nor promises can be trusted. Their sole purpose in this world is to destroy the "infidels" (all non Muslims) and create a Muslim only planet for allah (intentionally lower case). Israel may be their main target at this moment, but the rest of the world will follow shortly. Any additional consessions by Israel, giving up additional land, not returning fire when fired upon, etc. will just incite more murder and missles, because the only way these war mongers will cease and desist is if they're dead. Just a quick look at History shows that since Bible times, they've been killing each other, and the only time that changes, is when they unite to kill non-believers. I think you need to do whatever will end their aggressions (Nuking them would probably be the most cost effective action) immediately. I'm 63 years old, but a super shot, so if you'd like a little additional help (to set a younger person free to preform a more strenuous function) please contact me, and I'll fly over as soon as you can arrange the necessary visa or visitation paperwork. Don't waste any more time trying to reach a peaceful end to this entire mess, because it's never going to come. As with Hitler, the only positive resolution for PEACE, is the extinction of Muslims. Today's conflicts are actually just the first battle of the last world war to be fought on the planet. Comments and thoughts welcomed, and will be replied to. Thanks for your time and interest, Darryl Hansen
108. where are the Christians
steven ,   memphis,tn   (12.09.06)
I see all these comments about the Bible and people from the U.S. who claim to be Christians. I don't see anyone mentioning Christ. If you read your Bible you will note that Jesus said that NO ONE can come to the Father except through Him. We must All put our trust in Christ. NO One means exactly that. "NO ONE" God Bless you and have a Merry CHRISTmas
109. Comment on comment #90
Stafford Leyds ,   Pretoria-SA   (12.10.06)
You are clearly uninformed. That land is more Israel' s land than America is your land. God is the title-holder of the land and he gave that land to the jews. Read the Bible and you will get proof of this. Give me any evidence that God ever gave Americans any land?
110. Dangerous talk Baker!
Israeli ,   Israel   (12.10.06)
If men like Baker and Carter continue with the kinds of proposals they have made, and influence U.S. policy on Israel, the United States is toast! No suprise that there is no mention of the U.S. in bible prophecy, cuz it ain't there no mo' ! The Almighty's U.S. policy: same as Sodom and Gomorah! Sulfer pit time! (Only this day and age He may try nukes and bio-technology!)
111. The Iraq War is NOT Failing!
alpheus ,   Richmond, USA   (12.11.06)
"According to the Associated Press, a high-level commission said Wednesday after nearly four years of war and the deaths of more than 2,900 U.S. troops, the situation was "grave and deteriorating", President Bush's policy in Iraq was "not working", and America's ability "to influence events within Iraq is diminishing"." That "high level commission" was made up of people who didn't support the war to begin with, and shouldn't be listened to as a picture of what all Americans are saying on the war in Iraq. Some people are not happy with the wars progress, but do not support the views of the left-wing who will be controlling congress. The war is NOT stalled, we are NOT loosing, and most all the deaths are due to "sneak attacks" like road-side bombs and urban ambushes. We take casualties because we will not blow up a building where there might be women and children and which the enemy uses as shields to attack us. Bring back Gitmo, interrogate the clowns you capture, make them talk, and then take out the rest of the vipers that are identified through that information, and the deaths of US servicemembers will go down.
112. Israel
Mary Hensley ,   USA   (12.12.06)
israel was promised by GOD, What GOD( JESUS0 said inthe Holy Bible, WILL COME TO PASS,NOIF'S AMD AND'S ABOUT IT.
113. Not all Americans are anti-Israel
kh ,   nw arkansas   (12.14.06)
Many of us in the US love, support and pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Many do not believe what is being proposed is right.
114. James "The Appeaser" Baker
Mike Davis ,   Nanaimo, Canada   (12.28.06)
I don't think the USA will abandon Israel. While it's true there are some very vocal idiots in that country the majority realize that Israel is the only country in the middle east that the USA can count on in the coming battle with radical Islam.
115. No Peace in Israel
Chaudhry Rajinder Ni ,   Reading, U.K.   (02.21.07)
Hi, There is a Parable in the Bible Matt.13.24-30 of Wheat and Tares in which wheat plants are sons of Man who live Peacefully whilst the Tares are sons of Satan belonging to Hell. The Tares are bundled up for Final burning on 21 December, 2012 when Atomic War is expected.
