AlbertoGA ,   St. George, USA   (09.14.10)

4. first of all.........
Robert ,   farmington,wv   (09.14.10)
first of all clinton don't say anything at all that way you seem to be smart , second what gives you the right to tell israel what to do....you and obama has sold israel out , but thats no secret , the blind can see that , asking israel to freeze building is like asking you guys to resign from office you are not going to do whats best for the country , so why should israel freeze settlement building....we know what side you and the muslim is on. may the lord forever bless the state of israel and the jewish people.
5. If you support my enemies, you are my enemy too !
Jaacov Baumann   (09.14.10)
Well, the USA is not basically against Israel - but its the circumstances that made them think they have to choose between Israel and Israels enemies, which is mainly the muslim world which denies Israels right to exist ( not only Israels -but Israels first). Americans (like most people) are looking for their own profit - but the USA as the leading western power should act not only out of egoism - they have a responsibility for the whole western world : If the USA is leading the wrong way, a whole western civilisation is misled ! The power circles in the USA have chosen to support Israels enemies out of egoism - they think they better join the muslim world! History shows one thing : Those who fought the people of Israel always made second place! Not because the jews are better people than other - but because the jews are special to the one and only God ! If you fight the jews, you fight yourself - you fight God ! I would wish a truly responsible government to the nation of the USA - but all I can see is people running for money !
6. Clinton is totally ridiculous
Frank ,   Canada   (09.14.10)
Even if there is a miracle and Abbas makes a real peace with Israel, this will not solve the Iranian threat and this will not even help to solve it.
7. Bibi you answer to Israel
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (09.14.10)
Not the idiots in Washington. If you are stupid enough to listen to them instead of us, we will replace you with our own representative.
8. Clinton, please refund
Steven ,   San Francisco   (09.14.10)
the $325 I donated to your failed presidential campaign. I believed you were pro-Israel and pro-America. But who can trust a politician? Just ask the people who voted for "Bibi."
9. I'm speechless
kevin ,   Reno USA   (09.14.10)
what is the intoxicating drink that deludes Israeli PM's into thinking they can make peace with those who only desire their destruction? I'm all for living in peace as much as possible, but one must be real and see that the only peace that the PA will accept is peace that is at the end of an Israeli sword. Tragic, but true. I still hope that Bibi will stick to his guns and haven't given up on him yet. But, I'm quickly becoming a Lieberman fan because he seems to be one of the few in the Israeli government who is not afraid to speak the truth and take the heat when it comes down on his head. Praying for the peace of Jerusalem.
10. Freeze
Max ,   washington dc   (09.14.10)
Abas is absolutely right and wrong - he is right demanding a freeze but wrong on applying it to people building homes on land - it should be a freeze on arming Hamas and Hezbollah and the terrorists killing Israeli's including pregnant Women!
11. Israel vs Hillary
Brod ,   USA   (09.14.10)
Israel should say NO to Hillary. Is Hillary becoming subservient to the PA Islamist-Jihadists? She seems to have allowed herself to become their robot. It is time Hillary knows that Judea and Samaria are Israel's liberated Historic homeland-Land of Israel since Ancient Time. Israel should continue building in Judea and Samaria and provide homes for millions of Jews from around the world and Israel's growing population. The Land of Israel is GOD-GIVEN and GOD-RESTORED to Israel as a Fulfillment of GOD'S Covenant of Restoring Modern Israel from Diaspora back into their Ancient Land of Israel.
12. Get ready for elections! BiBi is going home!
Abe   (09.14.10)
13. Omama may be an Islamic mole that have succeded in USA
Max   (09.14.10)
14. She is blowing hot air
Jerrold Cohen ,   Seal Beach, USA   (09.14.10)
She has no power to make anything happen.
15. Clinton does not get it.
John ,   Harrisburg, USA   (09.14.10)
Either her husband nor ms. Clinton understand that Israel doesn't need to give up anything. Put your efforts into revealing and proclaiming the truth of the land that belongs to Israel. It's time to end this dialogue and tell the Pals and Arabs there is no more talking. The land is Israel, has been Israels and will remain Israeli and Jewish.
16. Abbas should just quit the sham that these peace talks are..
(09.14.10)
Clinton acts like the Palestinians were happy with PARTIAL freeze that has gone on for a year. Yet she doesnt mention that it was her government who promised to end all construction in the territories captured in 67 and then cowered to its vassal state Israel. Its either settlements or war, that is what Abbas should have the guts to come out and say once and for all, but Abbas is no Arafat, he has no balls.
17. Bibi be strong.
Avi The Builder ,   Eretz Yisrael   (09.14.10)
Don't give in to Clinton or anyone else, just build, build & build some more.
18. Now Bibi ... Run the following command !
Salma ,   Palestine   (09.14.10)
19. I will huf & puf and blow your house down Mrs Clinton
Lioness ,   Israel   (09.14.10)
Mrs Clinton you dont want Jews to build in the land that G-d gave them. Too bad so dont come crying when your house comes down! and probably all America too!
20. Israel has matured
Golan ,   Modiin   (09.14.10)
it no longer believes in the peace of its songs. It is an Israel which has learned from the promises of our "friends" and our "partners." It is a post-Hamas victory post-disengagement post Road-Map, Camp David II, Wye, Oslo and San Remo It is an Israel that fought two wars in less than three four years. It is an Israel that hears its enemies louder than its appeasement camp. It is an Israel that has matured.
21. Palis Turn to freeze Setttlement Construction!
Yaakov ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.14.10)
Indeed, Jewish construction in Jewish towns and communities was unjustly frozen. Now it is time for the Arabs and Turkish settlers in the land of Israel to show a few confidence building measures and 1) freeze their settlement construction for 10 months. 2) Release Gilad Shalit. If they can't get Hamas to release him then they (FATAH terror organization) are not the right ones to be speaking with them. 2a) They can use their USA and European-trained commandos (which they should not have) to free Gilad if necessary. 3) Fatah and Hamas shall declare Israel the Jewish state (and Jordanian /palestine the Arab-Muslim state plus the rest of Middle East) -------------------------------------- Jewish construction shall resume on schedule. After that 10-month Arab settlement freeze then we shall see who is a partner or not. Clinton and Obama should not be getting involed in an Israeli internal matter. Perhaps, we should host "peace talks" between Iran, Taliban, AL-Qaeda and the US and have the US end all American settlement construction in Washington D.C., New York State and Dearborn Michigan and then offer these places to Iran, Al- Qaeda and Taliban for a just and lasting peace with all parties living side by side in peace and security.
22. There is another cloud above a cloud.:)
Al Mujahid   (09.14.10)
23. US gives back all territories stolen from Native Americans
PG ,   Atlanta, Georgia   (09.14.10)
Hillary - you have the same disease your husband had (or maybe still has) - your nose and hand are always in the wrong place! Why don't the headlines say: United States demands the following preconditions from Hamas and Abbas BEFORE any discussions: 1. IMMEDIATE RETURN of Gilad Shalit, who was kidnapped on Israeli soil more than 4 years ago. 2.the FULL RECOGNITION of the State of Israel by Hamas and Abbas. And as a show of good faith and an example to Israel, the United States should give back all their territories captured and/or stolen from the Native Americans and go back to the borders of 1776.
24. #3 Sarah B
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (09.14.10)
2012? The "Unborn" can be happy if he will not be impeached after the November elections.
25. give back Texas
eliezer ,   jerusalem   (09.14.10)
Come on Clinton, you well know that the Gringo Americans stole Texas from the Mexicans. Return to the pre 1870 borders and give the displaced Mexicans the homes of the Texas settlers, pull those gringo settlers out of the homes that they illegally built on Mexican territory. Then go to hell!!
26. Hillary : Just another polite Jim Baker.
Janice Cohen ,   ירושלים   (09.14.10)
Naive America just doesn't get it, and probably never will.
27.  Moratorium only for Jews is racist
Zev ,   Israel   (09.14.10)
