1. Stop Extremism of Vicious Ethnic Jew Cleansing!
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.02.10)
How profoundly evil extremism is. The frightening extremism of rabid Jew-hate espoused by the US/EU/UK/UN/Islam that demands freezing of Jewish communities and the vicious ethnic Jew cleansing of hundreds of thousands of Jews rendered homeless from the G-D given Biblical ancestral Jewish homeland of Judea, Samaria and half of Holy Jerusalem. Severely punished and persecuted for being Jewish and not Muslim. It was also unacceptable to Hitler and his vile Nazis that Jews lived in Europe.
2. This is the opportunity for the Muslim-
(09.02.10)
3. This is the opportunity for the Muslim-Arab leadership:
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (09.02.10)
State now, in Arabic, Hebrew and English that the Jewish people is a legitimate member of the family of nations and as such, its nation-state of Israel is here by right and has the right to continue to be, to exist. Please, please don't prove the late Mr. Abba Eban once again correct when he said "the Arabs have never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity" to peace.
4. MOMENT OF TRUTH FOR ISRAELIS
chris ,   Porthmadog,wales   (09.02.10)
THE Moment of truth has arrived and the big Question is will Israel follow God &His Clear instructions,WARNINGS not to part the land,or will they go the way of the Nations? Seems there is lack of faith among Israeli leaders here,why do they think Jews survived after all these years?do they seriously think they can now survive without God?God brought you home with over 140 CLEAR prophetic Scriptures to back this up,How Often does the Lord have to Spell it out? what more,the Bible warns us that AFTER Israel's restoration,She will be isolated by the Whole World,Be hated by the Arabs and be Blamed for things she never committed! the time has come for Israel to decide why She exist?Is it God,or A Political Coincident?If the latter,then 1 third of the Bible is wrong because 1 third of it speak of what we are now witnessing!if a third is wrong i all wring.Israel,the Prophets of old spoke of your returnmand warned you never to Divide what God had given you.Arabs will never accept you why do you deny reality.another reality is,your Giving half of your God given land away to those who have sworn to erradicate you through peace if Necessary,ISRAEL Piece by piece. Read Joel 3:2 and realise this "peace" will bring about the Final war of history.you will survive but will pay a heavy price.Also Zech 12-13 make this very point. 2 thirds will be killed,but Israel will Survive.time to turn back to Your God,the World will never treat you with fairness,Europe,Russia,Arabs,no one will help you..ezek38@39 will soon come to pass. after the "Peace"
5. freeing your peoples from shackles of history
Jacob Erickson ,   Holon, Israel   (09.02.10)
Oh cry me a river. The shackles of history? Oh those poor palestinians with their couple decades of problems. When they've got close to 2 millenia under their belt, then they can call it history. We have the shackles of history, they have the zip ties of the recent past.
6. The launch of the talks could have been much more dramatic
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (09.02.10)
and powerful if the Muslim-Arab leader stated there, in Arabic, the fact that he, as a representative of the local Muslim-Arabs and as the emissary of the Arab League accepted Israel's RIGHT to be, to exist as the nation-state of the Jewish people. Such a statement would have resolved 97.2% of the conflict right there and then. But Mr. Abbas chose not to state such a thing and to follow the Muslim-Arab tradition of refusing to accept Israel's legitimacy as the national home of the Jewish people. And herein is the the conflict in a nut shell!!!
7. We prefer maintaining our chain
David ,   Shiloh Israel   (09.02.10)
The only shackles are the handcuffs that Obama's administration wish to slap upon our people, whilst he seeks to rob our heritage from us. Our chain of command reaches higher than the shallow dreams of the present US administration. Thankfully, there are many good & decent Americans that fully understand these words and sentiments.
8. At the end of the day Israel will get more terror
CJ   (09.02.10)
Abu Mazen is irrelevant. Israel will give and give and Hamas will ignore Mahmoud and murder more Israelis. Not to mention 1.5 million Arabs living in Israel. So, more Israeli compromises, more Palestinian terror against Israel and an idea for 2 states - one for the Arabs, and the other one for the Israelis and some more Arabs.
9. What a stupid waste of time
JS ,   NY   (09.02.10)
and embarrassing political circus. Who are we kidding ? This is only setting itself up for a huge let down to everyone involved. Then it will all be blamed on Israel. Who the hell is Abbas anyway ? He is nothing but a lame puppet that has no control or say in anything. Might as well negotiate piece with a corpse.
10. # 6 Forget it. They will never. That's why neither they nor
Amir   (09.02.10)
us have peace, and the world still doesn't get it.
11. gaza to egypt, part of J/S to jordan........
Don Rosenberg ,   Palatine USA   (09.02.10)
Egypt should govern gaza and eliminate hamass, jordan to govern what part of J/S Israel is willing to give them. Pals/palestine does not and never has existed. If Israel was to give some land egypt & jordan need to stepup these are their people pure and simple. Otherwise Israel to say NO, NO and NO. and stop the wasteful talking.
12. Direct Talk
Brod ,   USA   (09.02.10)
This should be between the two parties and not have Mitchell or Hillary or any other third party sitting there like a nanny contaminating the meeting.
13. PM, Abbas. The ultimate timewasters (end)
DT ,   TA Israel   (09.02.10)
14. Same story again. Israel offers, Abbas demands.
rebecca ,   Modiin   (09.02.10)
Was an equal start. Is there anyone out there who really thinks Abbas is going to make any concessions (ignoring that he's got no mandate)?
15. This will lead to world war three
Hannah ,   Sweden   (09.02.10)
peace,peace when there is no peace.the wicked do not understand peace and those who seek the destruction of Israel their names and numbers the Lord keeps account of. How can this Mad world not see this is a non starter.Even if Abbas sign a paper,it will man nothing and hamas will never sign on to anything that accept Israel's right to exist.what a waste of time this is.Israel will lose more respect by accepting that this "palestine" has any credibility.History,but most specifically prophecy itself tells us this is a Trogan horse that will lead to Aramgeddon! Check Out Ezek38,When Israel thiks it at rest,the enemies will attack her,this will be the final war of hisory,God will wipe out the Nations who come against Israel,Israel will suffer great loss but will survive and trurn back to God. Joel 3:2
16. Rebecca - PA Concession 1
Mark of Lewiston ,   Lewiston USA   (09.02.10)
The PA has now made its first, albeit small concession- They've agreed to the biweekly face to face that Bibi tried to make a precondition.
17. Israel is so small,if she loses a war,she is finished
chrisi files ,   Porthmadog,uk   (09.04.10)
If Israel had lost their previous wars,You can bet the Arabs would not be giving them an Opportunity to rise again! If Israel loses a war against the Arabs,she will be History,PERIOD.she cannot afford to lose.Arabs can lose many times over yet they will not Lose their Country. ISRAEL is Tiny enough as it is,Israel is willing now to become so small that any major war against her,she will not have room to Manoever.she will be Militarily unable to Survive unless she uses the Samson option,but that will also mean her demise too. So anyone got any clue why Israel is committing This Political Suicide? yes Pressure from all sides,including from America,which makes Israel feel a little more confident to go along with what America says.But America will not be able to stop Iran,Russia,or any major war against you,Obama will sit back and watch you fall. my only comfort is the prophets of the Bible who did speak of the present age and does say Israel will make a Disastrous & strategic mistake and a reckless Move when she decides to Trust in the World Powers who will Betray her. My Comfort is in reading Zechariah 12 and the Outcome of Ezekiel 38 & 39.My Only comfort is to read jer 30 & 31 and realize in Israels Blindness,though she is faithless,God will again Choose Zion when all it said and done. Isaiah 61:4 Then they will rebuild the ancient ruins, They will raise up the former devastations; And they will repair the ruined cities, The desolations of many generations. HALLELUJAH!
18. Obama Plan for peace is actually Israel’s death warrant in d
Chris M ,   sweden & Wales   (09.04.10)
"Obama Plan for peace is actually Israel’s death warrant in disguise. The President reportedly personally promised King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia that he would force Israel to give up Judea, Samaria and a large part of Jerusalem next year. This is a direct attack on the prophecy of God and it will bring a horrible curse on America if the President succeeds. He is walking into a nest of vipers, meeting with people who will smile for the cameras but behind the scenes are doing everything they can to destroy his nation. Sadly, he is facing a grave threat from the United States as well. President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton will pressure Israel to divide Jerusalem and hand over Judea and Samaria to the Palestinians. The folly of negotiating with the Palestinians" Zech 12 & Joel 3:2 JUDGEMENT OF THE NATIONS FOR DIVIDING ISRAEL.
