1. Nothing like negotiating from a position of strength
Mike ,   Israel   (10.06.07)
Not!
2. Pal's know Israel always surrenders
Marcel ,   Florida   (10.06.07)
Under pressure from the false ally superpower the U.S. Israel always gives in and the poor,pitiful,victims also know as fatah,hamas terrorists get what they want. Israel ,slowly being destroyed by peace wil eventually have to say no more ,enough. Will it be when the Jews are back in the small ghettos which the Quartet has prepared for them under the leadership of Herr Bush ? I wish Israel would learn to play the game of red lines the way the terrorists play it. but then you have to believe in something to stand on principal and Israle has proven to be an easy pushover.
3. NEVER MISS THE OPPORUNITY....
Brant ,   Hilton Head, USA   (10.06.07)
There the fools go again. For 40years the Arab League has taken an "all or nothing" approach and have succeeded at achieveiing nothing. They've done this while fighting the Jews to the last "Palestrinian" and, in the process, have turned intelligent men like Queria into instruments of continued failure. It remains absolutely astonishing how committed the Arabs are to abject, cold and endless failure.
4. So don't go to the conference...
Poitcha ,   poitcha@yahoo.com   (10.06.07)
it is a complete waste of time and money anyway......the Pals will only try to squeeze whatever they can even further. Who needs it? Definitely not us..Israel. We will manage quite nicely otherwise
5. GROW UP!
Ehud ,   TA   (10.06.07)
It is time the Palestinian leadership (?) grows up. "I am angry with you not giving me what I wish - I don't come" is as mature a behavior as the child's covering up the ears with both hands shouting "nyah, nyah, nyah - can't here you"
6. How can terms/solutions be stipulated before the conference?
Korem ,   New York, USA   (10.06.07)
7. NO to conference
Brod ,   USA   (10.06.07)
There should never be a conference in the first place. It is misguided and ill-advised. It is not too late to cancel it. The fact is such a conference will only serve the purpose of the Wahhabhists and Antisemites to spew their venom on Israel and extol and propagate their bull craps. Israel should say no to the conference.
8. "...PA official: We won't go.."
Yochanan ,   The Land of Jews   (10.06.07)
You are mistaken. You yes WILL go. But, you WILL go to other place. Do you have any clue WHERE you WILL go? No? You don't? No problem. Listen to me carefully: GO TO HELL!!! /you are free to make your move right away/
9. Is that a threat or a promise?
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (10.06.07)
So, don't go. It's your choice. No one should force you to attend. We can negotiate without you - it's about what we're doing now anyway. Truth be told, we've always been negotiating with ourselves in any case. So, your presence is purely symbolic. Are you offering any "break-through" concessions? No. Are you showing your ability to govern, to control terrorism, to deliver on your promises? No. Have you made great strides in fighting corruption & gaining the support of the people you represent? No. So, why ARE you coming? You might as well stay home.
10. Dont go....who cares?....its a waste of time anyhow!
freejay ,   Israel   (10.06.07)
11. Want Jerusalem, Win A War, Any War!
Yoni ,   Israel   (10.06.07)
Arabs have never figured out that dying for a cause is not expedient. Israel figured out that killing your enemies to stay alive is the only way to survive. So what is the point of these negotiations? Israel has won every war with arab armies and she took Jerusalem back from Jordan, not local arabs. Israel, love it or leave it, including Jerusalem!

Marcel ,   Florida   (10.06.07)
Did you forget that it is your close buddy Emperor George who has set up this confrence for his arab buddies to given them more of Israel ? When are you blind folk's going to wake up and smell the manure your are swimming in ?
13. not a chance
Mike ,   Canada   (10.06.07)
We all know what happened to the last leader to try to give away Jerusalem. Any person considering a similar deal will meet the same fate. Jerusalem is the indivisible capital of Israel for all eternity. period.

Brod ,   USA   (10.06.07)
I do not have an Emperor. The fact is Antisemites and Islamist-Jihadists are behind this conference. They managed to persuade Bush. But Olmert and his government can say NO to all this crap. But they too are willing participant to this crap. It is time Israel elect a government that is strong and brilliant that can say NO to craps. Israel should not allow itself to be led to the slaughter house of dismemberment as a sacrificial lamb for the corruption, greed and sins of Antisemites, Leftists, and Islamist-Jihadists
15. What are u gonna give ?
(10.06.07)
Give what is not yours, you ppl are insane. You steal the land and you say it was promised to you by god. and now you dont even want to give back an inch. Well no wonder, because of this attitude you are creating more and more suiciders to come at you.
16. We have your "Declaration" right here...
R. Alkalai ,   USA   (10.06.07)
NO to the conference. NO to Arab lies and deceit. No to Arab blackmail and threats. NO to concessions. NO to the Roadmap to Destruction for Israel. and absolutrely NO to Arab possession of Jerusalem. And if you don't like it- Go to Hell.
17. To give ?
charles ,   petach tikva   (10.06.07)
Israel was attacked and attacked again . Time after time . The attackers always lost , and now they want everything , otherwise no peace . Where did it happen that a country that was attacked so many times has to be the only one to make concessions ? What will we receive ? a promise of peace ?
18. Don't Come then!
Kiwi Jew ,   Auckland New Zealand   (10.06.07)
Why doesnt Olmert just tell him- Fine, don't come to conference' - like you would a spoilt child who wants the sweets before the chore is done.Enough already! Someone needs to tell them that no one is forcing them to be occupied, forcing them not to have a state. Yalla! Move on is what we should tell them! Not having everything we wanted didnt stop Jews from building a state and look what happened- we got one & it's successful in spite of their efforts. All this whining is getting old They can invent victories out of defeat anyway (Syria) so I am sure they could turn Ramallah into a capital in the same fashion. If they stopped building bombs and started training their boys to think they'd have what they want and more. Olmert should tell them to grow up . Come to conference with an open mind- or not at all.

Jew Girl ,   Sydney Australia   (10.06.07)
I'm sorry, we're insane? What, blowing yourself up is normal? Going to a conference ( ie a discussion) and already dictating the ending is normal? Who are you anyway to be telling Israelis to give up. Why don't YOU give up the relentless siding against Israelis no matter what the idiots next door do. The PALs never had Jerusalem in the first place and weren't very interested in it until the Jews had it. Recognise that? The toddler who doesnt want it til the other kid does. They were relieving themselves on our holiest site. How do you think Arabs would react to doing that in Mecca? Jews can't give it back because it's the only religion that doesnt want to convert everyone else and the only one that can be trusted to look after it for all. Keep your nose out of Jews' business and fix up your own manure pit, wherever that is
20. Jerusalem
Igor ,   Munich, Germany   (10.06.07)
What about Chaim Ramons plan which implies handing over arab neighbourhoods of Jerusalem to the PA? The Jewish Holy Sites would remain under Israeli authority, why the hell do you need those Arab neighbourhoods? you don´t want the Arabs and the Arabs don´t want you.

Marcel ,   Floirda   (10.06.07)
You wrote: """The fact is Antisemites and Islamist-Jihadists are behind this conference. They managed to persuade Bush. "" So your Bush is a victim of the bad anti-semites, too stupid and weak to not go along with this evil against Israel and being led instead of leading ? If that lunacy is the case you sure were idiots for voting for such a pathetic worthless leader and even more perverse to continue to make excuses for him. The truth is Bush has called for this conference all by himself and he is the anti-semite at heart and you are a blind '%$#@ for being so ignorant not to see this five years after he's called for his own vision and dream of a Palestinian state.
22. Insanity
David M ,   Rhode Island   (10.06.07)
If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, then negotiating with the palestinians is insane.
23. WHATS A PALISTINIAN? DOESNT EXIST ....OHHH JORDANIANS...LOL
OLMERT MUST GO ,   ..............DACON9   (10.07.07)
24. Re #17 & 22 - Agree
Christy ,   Boston, US   (10.07.07)
17- "Where did it happen that a country that was attacked so many times has to be the only one to make concessions ?" Yes!! Israel is ALWAYS the one making concessions. The Palis make demands as if they had been victors in a war. When have the Palis ever lived up to their end of a treaty? Why is Israel condemned when the fighting inevitably starts again? Israel was the victor in her wars. Victors dictate the terms, not those who lost. 22- ".....definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results ......." Exactly! Haven't we been through negotiations like these before? When have negotiations with the Palis EVER resulted in peace for Israel?! The Palis still have the goal of occupying all of Israel, after driving the Jews into the sea.
25. PA won't go
Alan ,   Elazar, Israel   (10.07.07)
Just say no!!! Let's remind Olmert about his promises of a united jerusalem. Jerusalem and all of Israel is Israel. We gave them Gaza and see what happened there. We can not negotiate if we continue to be attacked. Instead of worrying about supporting Abbas it is time to worry about the security of his country and its citizens ( ISRAEL)
26. WHO CARES: STAY HOME & GROW SOME HAIR & SOME BRAINS
Scott   (10.07.07)
27. Ahmed Qureia: Won't Come Without Declaration
Malka Kideckel ,   Israel   (10.07.07)
This guy has no room to talk, Arabs should first do justice to the word "vague", they're downright liars. But you can count on them for lipservice.

Brod ,   USA   (10.07.07)
Who have been feeding Bush with all the craps such as calling the religion of the dark forces as a religion of peace and saying that that the god of the dark forces is the same as the GOD of JudeoChristians? Who have been pressuring and manipulating Bush with the idea of setting up an Islamist-Jihadist state next to Israel at the expense of Israel's liberated biblical and historic homeland of Judea and Samaria? European Antisemites and Wahhabhist Saudis, who attacked America on 9/11 and are masters at squeezing balls, are behind all these latent manipulations. Rice and State Department Antisemites are also behind the scheme. Baker the Antisemite is hard at work scheming behind the scene. The goal of the Antisemites and Islamist-Jihadists are being effected like a Trojan Horse of enabling the Islamist-Jihadists to usurp Israel's liberated biblical and historic homeland of Judea and Samaria. Not satisfied with that, they also want to usurp Jerusalem from Israel. Despite all these, Israel being a sovereign nation has the power and right to say NO! Unfortunately, Olmert and Livni and the Leftists are willing participants to all these schemes. So, why blame Bush alone?
