1. Sure, why not?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.28.10)
Except that the Golan is non-negotiable and the remains of Eli Cohen, z.l., need to be repatriated. So .... still interested, or do you still wish to wed yourself to crippled Iran?
2. Get real!
Jackson ,   Melbourne   (09.28.10)
No point making peace with Syria, none whatsoever.... If anyone thinks they are a truthful, peace loving, cooperative, rational nation, then they are blind fools. No peace, no return of land, no nothing. Just continue to protect Northern borders and be happy with that.
3. Syria is key to regional peace
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.28.10)
...due to its close ties to Lebanon, and Iran. Jews must give up the Golan for regional peace, a good trade since it was stolen in the first place.
4. Except

He's a lying scumbag.
5. Peace with Syria?? Certainly!! Peace for Peace Now!!!
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (09.28.10)
After three full wars that the Syrians initiated from their territory with the full intention of annihilating the nation-state of the Jewish people, Israel, only to be repelled, i.e. 1948, 1967, 1973. After many years of being an active part of the Iran-Hizballah-IslamicJihad-Hamas-Syria - soon to be joined by Iraq and Turkey - that has been calling and preparing for the wiping of Israel off the map and erasing any trace of Jewish existence in the birth country of the Jewish people and the cradle of Jewish civilization, Would any country give Syria anything more than peace - a most valuable concept by all accounts...?? And if not, why should tiny Israel be an exception...??
6. Well said #1!
Israeli 2   (09.28.10)
As Captain Pickard of the Star Trek Enterprise TNG used to tell Commander Ryker: "Well Done #1 As always - very well put Yid. koph
7. Why the surprise?
Israeli 2   (09.28.10)
To the Syrians, peace talks with Israel means only one thing. Give us back all of Golan, water rights, etc. and we will be kind to Israel by reluctantly have some temporary diplomatic relationship.
8. Sign any peace treaty where Israel keeps the Golan but under
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (09.28.10)
NO circumstances does the Golan become Syrian. They tried to kill the Jews, they lost the Golan FOREVER.
9. Land
Bob ,   USA   (09.28.10)
All syria wants is land.
10. Dear Sarah B
Ginette Golden ,   Toronto, Canada   (09.28.10)
I always thought of myself as a gutsy lady but the more I read your talkbacks, the more I realize I found my match..."wed crippled Iran?" Damn you are good and I wish you well!
11. Peace?
Pini ,   usa   (09.28.10)
What for? Seems like Iran and Syria are up to something fishy.
12. To: Israeli 2 at No. 6

13. To: Ginette Golden at No. 10
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.28.10)
Thank you so much! Yeah, I'm a pretty gutsy lady, and I love encountering other gutsy ladies .... that would be you! I wish you well, too. Shana tova! Sarah
14. Peace Now!!
Anon ,   Johannesburg   (09.28.10)
But other then that there is nothing to talk about... Israel & Syria can declare they are friends now and that is it. We can afford not to have peace with Syria, however we can not afford to be any smaller then we already are. Although, i must stress that Israel should help Syria concerning water resources - That will build true peace
15. oh,really ! bye bye resistance ;)
Salma ,   Palestine   (09.28.10)
We willingly donate the Netanyahu government for the Syrians, ENJOY :)
16. Syria interested in Peace - a joke.
Spencer ,   Israel   (09.28.10)
That Barak HUSSEIN Obama's people are still speaking to Syria who happens to be on the USA list of Countries sponsering terrorism is a disgrace. Get real Mr. Obama! The only PEACE that Syria is interested in they spell PIECE and the PIECE that Syria wants is the whole of Israel. Well, here's some news for Syria......you aren't going to get that PIECE!
17. Salma (oh,really ! bye bye resistance;
JUDAH THE LION   (09.28.10)
What resistance? Suicide bombing is dead then what? Resistance is already dead and buried.
18. SYRIA CAN TAKE A HIKE
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (09.28.10)
Forget peace ,syria is cruising for a bruising.
19. #17 oh, really?! when that happened?!! hope you are right .
Salma ,   Palestine   (09.28.10)
any way I meant the Syrian "resistance" Walid al-Moualem knows very well what I'm talking about . you and the Syrian President are from the same family. THE LION = al-Assad ;)
20. Syria interested in peace talks with Israel
gregg bowman ,   Parksville, Canada   (09.28.10)
If you believe this, I have a bridge I want to sell you.....even suggesting this is so ludicrous that I can't believe this mindless infantile rhetoric continues. How many times does it take for the world to understand that you cannot negotiate with irrational liars such as Syria and Iran. Deal with them like they should be dealt with and move on to better things....warm regards....Gregg Bowman
21. Syrian President the same family Lion
JUDAH THE LION   (09.28.10)
Salma Oh Salma, I know very wel what is the meaning of Assad.In English Assad means LION,but I can assure you he is the opposite.Should I call him CAT,MOUSE
22. The title of this thread should say
zionist forever   (09.28.10)
Syria interested in the Golan, a sharre of Kineret waters, military aid and a Nobel Peace Prize for Assad. Neither Clinton, PJ Crowley or anybody in the Obama administration can be trusted because the only thing any of them are interested in is Obama and his legacy are all anybody is interested in. Assad could be holding a gun to Bibis head and saying I demand the Golan or I will shoot you and Clinton would come back saying Assad is serious about peace. Assad changes his tune every day of the week. One day he is the Ghandi of the Middle East the next day he is the tough guy threatening to take the Golan by force and calling terrorists heros who he will never abandon. The Obama administration though we are seriously expected to believe he wants real peace. The sooner this socialist administration that believes if a problem can't be solved with a teleprompter then its not worth solving and pacifism is the only option in all things then the safer and more economically stable both America and Israel will be.
23. More Syrian taqiyya.
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (09.28.10)
Syria will become a burning wasteland in the end folks - this is another lame ploy to hurt Israel again.
24. peace for peace
Micha ,   Frankfurt   (09.29.10)
Syria wants peace? Great! Why not? So trade "peace for peace" (nothing more), open some border crossings, start commercial trade, send ambassadors, stop any aggressive rhetorics and just behave as two normal neighboring countries like everywhere on the planet. Good idea! Uh ..... that's not what Syria wants?! What a pity!
