1. Obamas suicide recipe- MAKE ISRAEL 8 miles wide, fly the UN
JORDANISPALESTINE ,   MECCAFAMILYRULESJORD   (05.06.09)
flag over the House of the Holiness wall (Temple), have a 2nd Arab country within land aportioned for the Jewish national home (Balfour Declaration). Destroy Judea, make it the 26th arab country. wrong wrong wrong; Jordan is palestine
2. May It Come To Pass
Michael Durbin ,   Hong Kong, China   (05.06.09)
Well, we can look back in 2-3 years and either say -another non-starter, or -Thank G-d, a solution
3. yeah right purple pigs flies, just
ghostq   (05.06.09)
one problem hamas and Iran won't let anyone impliment any agreement USA +Saudi Arabia+Palis (even if Israel give a green light) will reach, they will claim they weren't part of the agreement therefor it doesn't bind them to follow it's verdicts.
4. Another slap in the face of Hashem
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim,   (05.06.09)
B"H G-d has given us a simple peace plan: Land of Israel to the Jews, only to the Jews, the rest of the world to the nations. Those who call on nations other than on the Jews to establish themselves in Eretz Israel, in reality are seeking to slap G-d in the face and He won't like it. Promised.
5. Arab peace plan - Israel in pieces
Mark Stein ,   London   (05.06.09)
The triumph of hope over experience. Obama doesn't live in Israel.
6. Another Blunder from Illegitimate Leaders!
Nour ,   Palestine   (05.06.09)
"The Palestinians said the suggested amendments will require holding an Arab summit. " Another Arab summit? Oh right, another disaster looming - you can COUNT on it. Walk-outs, hurded insults, and fat kings who can't even read Arabic. Well. Mubarak and the 2 Abdullahs are illegitimate leaders and dictators. NO WAY peace can be delivered from such corrupt sell-outs, no way Jose. Shame on Obama for double-standards. Only recently he warned dictators "of being on the wrong side of history" - now he's kissing said dictators in broad daylight.
7. This looks promising
Aharon   (05.06.09)
If this actually happens Netanyahu should declare his support for the Arab peace intiative. Peace before territories.
8. Hussein Obama and the 3 little pigs
Michael ,   Jerusalem   (05.06.09)
no, its not Hussain from US and not from his arab friends that will come peace. (rest in) peace now !
9. End time is Nearing for the World.
cas reader   (05.06.09)
Even if there is going to be a separate Palestinian State, countries like Iran, Syria and other extreme Muslim nations will not recognize Israel. Terrorist groups like Hamas will continue to attack Jewish targets wordwide. In addition, once there is a Palestinian State, there is no way that Israel or any other country can prevent Palestinian refugees fom returning to their ' homeland '. The peace4land proposal is fundamentally flawed and will not hold up in any circumstances.
10. #5
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (05.06.09)
Do you think that Obama cares whether Israel survives?
11. Man plans - God laughs.
Yisraeli   (05.06.09)
Peace will only come when Israels enemies are vanquished, no piece of paper will last the test of time. Only Israel will be made significantly weaker for the "final onslaught" if she accepts her enemies position. Anyone who thinks peace can be made with Islam is dellusional and refuses to recognise Islams 1400 years of history. Peace for peace, Land for Peace is recipe for WAR.
12. GOood solution to the conflict
(05.06.09)
the only thing that rpreventedISrael from accepting the last arab intiative was the refugee problem, now that is solved , Israel should accept: best solution ever.
13. The UN flag will adorn sites in Jerusalem's Old City
Israeli ,   Israel   (05.06.09)
Are we giving control of the old city to the UN?
14. # 6
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (05.06.09)
Nour ! Only the fat cats of Hamas are on the right side of history.
15. this plan is going to cost us everything Kotel included
zionist forever   (05.06.09)
GOODBYE GOLAN GOODBYE JUDEA & SAMARIA GOODBYE JERUSALEM Considering the muslims also consider the Kotel to be a muslim holy sites because its where Mohamed tied up his horse before going to paradise then looks like we even loose that. Even the US it seems is starting to come round to the idea the Kotel has religious significance to the muslims as well which is why George Bush went to Massada instead of the Kotel on his trip to Israel. We really are on the defensive now and this is just the begining. If the arabs ever want Israel to do something but it refuses then in come the whabis dream up a nice plan and show it to Israels left and the US and they say ok. What happens if they think that Israel shouldn't be allowed long range missiles, jets that have the capacity to go beyond Israels borders, satellites that spy on other states The whabis have been given the official task of keeping Israel in its place by the US. We don't wan't you to have or to do this now do as your told. Almost makes you wish we were still dealing with Arafat at least then we were allowed to negotiate and not simply be dictated to with no room to manouvre. I think if this plan is adopted we will find its Hamasa and even Israeli arabs who will come to our rescue. The refugee issue is to important to them to say we will give up in exchange for peace with Israel. Calling all you jews out there start praying, this deal is a wolf in sheeps clothing.
16. #6 i guess hamas \ fatah and the bloodshed their regime
(05.06.09)
needs to be successfull is more to your liking
17. "In God we trust"
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (05.06.09)
If this statement made by Americans is in fact meaning what they say,they must fight for the entirity of biblical Israel to be in the hands of Jews;NO UN FLAG IN YERUSHALAIM!NO ARABS IN ISRAEL! Midlle east is HUGE! Settle ALL ARABS AMONG THEIR OWN and let the Jews to prosper in peace in our biblical land.This is the only way true peace is going to exist.THE WHOLE WORLD WILL BENEFIT WITH SUCH A SANE DECISION! Arabia for arabs;Israel for Israel!There is no other way to achieve REAL PEACE for all! Stop with paliative ,stupid tryes that leave no where but to more and more insatisfaction. Take the correct path already! The world should start showing the high ideals they preach mean REALITY,mean FACTS! Make already this a better world for all taking decision rooted in earth and no more in delusions.
18. It was getting boring
Sam ,   Canada   (05.06.09)
Israel and the Arabs were at a standoff on "refugees,borders, Jerusalem". This throws a new twist into the game. Now come the clarifications, approvals, denials and denunciations.
19. Resettlement
David   (05.06.09)
The first faze of the plan should be to resettle Palestinian, so called, refugees in the other Arab countries and give them citizenship. After Arabs implement that faze and UNWRA is dismantled let's move to the second faze.
20. #14 History
Nour ,   Palestine   (05.06.09)
Hamas was elected democratically, unlike Mubarak, and Abdullah Squared, who would skip a heart beat at the sound of the world "elections". Tell me JK, is it not true that the people of France made history? WE REJECT resettlement on the basis of being human beings, who have rights as universally enshrined by the UN. Anything less is racism, despite anything utterances corrupt Arab dictators.
21. I've never heard of Arabs making concessions this is a first
usa   (05.06.09)
22. No Territorial Exchange
Ralph Levy ,   USA   (05.06.09)
Dividing Israel in two is not negotiable? Defenseable Borders. No Exchange of Land. What about Jerusalem as the capital of Israel http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com
23. take down the wall ..then
Palestinian ,   Jerusalem   (05.06.09)
give me a call ,i may not answer it.
24. what about here
fouad ,   Gaza   (05.06.09)
i would like to see the kind of land swap they are talking about .. is Gaza will be connected to the west bank through this . the main thing is muslims all over the world would like to come here without taking an occupier 's visa ..and be able to drive from amman to Cairo without seeing any *** hole. as for the refugees ,will compensate the 3 in one year ,palestinians birth rate are the best .
25. #17, Keren
David ,   USA, exile   (05.06.09)
Keren, the American words "In God we Trust" was put on their money. That should tell you who their god is. Did you ever see an American man loose his wallet? He reaches to his back pocket to get his wallet and it is not there. He remarks, Oh my god! He finds his god missing.
26. This kind of peace more dangerous that Iran with nukes
USA   (05.06.09)
Iran with nukes is not a real threat, is an artificial threat to force Israel into compliance and to tear itself into pieces. Israel must not, must not relly on anyone for it's security.
27. Same old, same old. Nothing new under the sun with Arab
Rivkah   (05.06.09)
peace plans: take land from the Jews and give them more war. Say no to any peace proposal short of sending Palestinians to Muslim countries far away from Israel.
28. #14 Mubarak respects Irsael
egyptian 3569 ,   Canada   (05.06.09)
Mubarak is not democratic which is but at least he is secular, not medieval fanatic Hamas who treat any person with different views as traitors. Who cover women and treat them like garbage. Mubarak respects Israel as a reality. Not hamas who live in darkness,
29. Palestinians will never agree
Harold ,   Canada   (05.06.09)
The Palestinians have been told that they will be able to move to Israel, that Israel will have to move back to 1967 borders and Israel will never be recognized as a Jewish state. They will accept nothing less. Their negotiating position has never changed and never will. It is always Israel that must compromise.
30. Initiative should include temple to assure Isaels acceptance
Bill Staar ,   Chicago USA   (05.06.09)
Israel will accept the Saudi peace plan if it includes the rebuilding of the temple. Israel will not be complete as a Jewish nation until the Temple is rebuilt. We are all aware of the emotions behind such and endeavor, any action on Israel's part to do this, would cause riots throughout the Arab world, so the Saudi's need to talk to, whoever they need to talk to, to get this rebuild in their plan to the point where they fund and initiate the construction. This is a hard asset that no Israeli government could refuse. Land for peace is unknown, land for the Temple is a done deal.
