1. Peres' Memory
Michael ,   Haifa   (09.13.09)
He appears to forget that it was he who allowed Levinger to set up the first settlement in Sebastia
2. Peres says peace talks coming? Prepare for war!
Nour ,   Palestine   (09.13.09)
A quick glance at history will confirm this dreadful statistic. Every time this wolf in sheep skin says peace talks are coming, all-out war broke! Sad - but true. Ignore this senile man he represents everything wrong in the status quo and past failed "peace" initiatives. The cost for peace is very obvious, for both sides.
3. What the May 15th Prophecy says
May 15th Prophecy ,   Oakland, California   (09.13.09)
Peres said that "we must not let the month of September pass without a new beginning and starting negotiations." Google search the May 15th Prophecy and read what it says about the month of September And you will see with 100% what is about to happen next
4.  It started with the Oslo Agreements …
Ron B. ,   Lod   (09.14.09)
After the horrible mistakes he commited as a result of his total lack of vision, Peres should keep away of politics and Media. Only a peace process with the acceptance by the Arabs to be resettled in other Arab countries had a chance to bring peace to the region. Financial compensations would be the main reason for the Arabs to accept their resettlement. The best solution for the Arabs would be to leave the borders of “greater Israel,” so that Israel could then annex the West Bank and perhaps Gaza. Advancing this solution, daily, at any occasion, might creat a new perception and bring peace. Any different solution presents a risk of an endless war. For more details: http://xrl.us/bjcgx
5. #2 Don't get your hopes up, Nour
Cynthia ,   USA   (09.14.09)
From the boredom of your Canadian hovel, you cheer the Palestinians to fight your pathetic armed struggle. At least Peres tries. But no matter how hard he tries, there is no peace partner among the Palestinians. For the Palestinians, peace is not profitable.
6. #5
Nour ,   Palestine   (09.14.09)
" ...peace is not profitable". Were you referring to Israel's attitude vis a vis peace? That would make sense, since Israel has everything to lose actually. Should peace land finally arrive, G-d forbid, Israel would have to return stolen territory, pull back settlers, and accord us our full human rights. Sheesh, what an unpalatable plate for you Cynthia huh? As for recognizing Israel, keep dreaming. These things should be mutual anyway - in spite of past PLO and PA blunders to give Israel a free lunch.
7. #6 Peace is not profitable for Pals
Cynthia ,   USA   (09.14.09)
Fatah has made a fortune from foreign aid. Milking the image of the poor Palestinians brings in donations. Hamas runs a multi-million dollar weapons smuggling and terror for hire business. Palestinian leadership thinks only of themselves and their bank accounts. Neither Hamas or Fatah do anything to improve the lives of the Palestinians. Bet we can agree on that issue. Peace will only have a chance when Iran is neutralized and the Palestinians are motivated and free to make peace. Israel has been ready for a long time. There is disputed territory to negotiate. The settlers disengaged from Gaza long ago. Your human rights are determined by Canada. I didn't say anything about recognition.
8. stop all settlements 4 peace talks
clear ,   london   (09.14.09)
or should be time for sanctions on Israel
9. If Israel was serious about peace
Bill Staar ,   Chicago USA   (09.14.09)
Is Israel really serious about peace? I can't tell, It looks to me like Israel wants the land and just pays lip service to peace. The Saudi peace initiative seemed to be a good starting point, something Israel could work with, It is obvious that Israel can not absorb all of the Palestinian refugees, and their descendants but Israel could take back all the people that were alive at the time, excluding their descendants, that would be a just and fair compromise these people are old and not likely to cause a problem or proliferate. The Palestinians have already said that Jews can be citizens of their new country so there is no reason to dismantle the settlements, the settlers would just have duel citizenship although they would have to live as law abiding Palestinian citizens. In exchange for the Israeli agreement, and concessions to the peace plan, the Israelis should be allowed to rebuild the Temple, this is a hard asset for the Israelis, so in the worst case, at least the Israelis get their Temple this the kind of thing that will sway the Israeli public to support the plan.
