1. Barak Ibn Hussein started all this settlement freeze nonsens
Alan ,   SA   (01.26.10)
It was Obamas Idea.Now he's really made a mess. Everyone knows this.That's what happens when you a small time Community Organiser with Dodgy Ideas is elected as President after 2 years as a Senator and is advised by two self hating Jewish hanger-ons.
2. Syrians...
faysal ,   dubau uae   (01.26.10)
were, are and will remain the key players when it comes to the politics of the palestinians and lebanese in the region, regardless of how much puppet abbas tries to limit their influence. Damascus, for centuries has always been where regional politics are shaped, still is and will remain. Syrians are much more familiar with the regions minor trechearous political details than the saudis and the egyptians have, are and ever will be. Abbas going to saudi for help instead of syria is like kuwait going to syria for help instead of saudi. doomed to fail. only syria can deliver a proper peace deal, so as long Israel is willing to do the same.
3. Faysal-Syria bankrupt- sold out to Iran already-too late

4. And poor Israel...
Vinny ,   Brooklyn N.Y.   (01.26.10)
has to muckey-muck through all this inter-Arab bickering and squabbling.
5. Poor Abass desperately tries>>>
James ,   ISRAEL   (01.26.10)
Now that Egypt's Mubarak seems to have washed his hands in helping,Poor Abass goes to the Saudies for help? Ya Abass The Saudis have been the problem from the start and are the bane of the whole ME. You think they have the wherewithal to help you? think again. Have you no decency to think for yourself oh Abass.You are supposed to be the president of the pals..i.e Fat-ah! Firstly disband your islamic-jihadists who's boss you are.YOU HYPOCRITE . And stop the demands from Israel/Netanyahu that you are never going to get.. Saudis indeed.Who needs those oily miscreants to interfere in Israel's business.
6. Alan, ignorance of the ROAD MAP is no excuse...
BBSNews ,   Charlotte, NC   (01.26.10)
...because you would still be a wingnut. See the Road Map you idiot. Day after day you folks ignore that Israel signed onto the Road Map and then promptly ignored it. This during the reign of the "bestist friend Israel ever had" George W. Bush jr. - The man who brought us nearly to the brink of ruin here in the United States. See Phase One, supposed to be implemented by May 2003. You know, back when Arafat was still alive... The Road Map predates Mahmoud Abbas you blithering idiot. I know you know this, because I have already written it to you at least once, if not many times. Ariel Sharon rejected the freeze on colonies, using a well-worn and now totally debunked claim. Ask Colin Powell how much he trusts the Israelis. Hell ask any current US diplomat. The fact is, Israel is simply not trusted to tell the truth anymore. Almost daily a senior official or even King Bibi lie in public.
7. Mubarak? Shouldn't he be shopping for a coffin?
Nour ,   Palestine   (01.26.10)
Who needs Egypt? Egypt is the laughing stock of the Arab world, let is be known here on this forum, that all Arabs from Gulf to Atlantic are united with their utter disappointment over post-Nasser Egypt, and how low Mubarak has sunk it! With Egypt a dismal failure, from economy to international politics and initiative, who expects Mubarak or Gamal to succeed in mediating talks between Hamas and Fatah? I say NO to the Mubarak clan, and YES to Turkish or Syrian mediation. Enough with licking US and CIA boots already, it's disgusting (so is inheriting a "republic").
8. Hey Nour@ 7 <Trust in Syrians>??
Kate ,   ISRAEL   (01.26.10)
If you trust Syrian Ass-ad you'll rue the day. Underneath the mild manner in the exterior lies a viper.He inherited this trait from Hafez al Ass-ad who murdered 20.000+ of his people at Hama.Who follows Hizbalah like a puppy dog,who called the Arabs in the region"women"During the second Lebanon war,while he crouched under his bunker the damn COWARD.And here you are proposing him as mediator.? As for Erdogan/Turkey: Well you may have something there. But keep your powder dry, the turkish military who are secular in the main will not countenance problems on their doorstep. I agree on the choice of Mubarak . He is a double crossing dollar grabbing man. We know he will retire soon.But the heir apparent waits in the wings. Incidently you sound A PROPER JIHADIST. Gee wanting a Gamal type man in charge.You may get your wish Nour.For the ones who would please you are:The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and elsewhere causing mayham.A detestable bunch one would/should dismiss. One thing Mubarak has tried and succeeded.He has kept those fundementalists MHOODS at bay. You are a crazy woman. Therein is all the problems emanating from Fat-ah ,Haniyeh et al. Sweet dreams
9. #7 Only fools admire Nasser. He ruined Egypt
EgyptJewRefugee ,   Geneva, Switzerland   (01.26.10)
