1. IS STATE DEPT. BLAMING ISRAEL HERE ??
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (11.16.10)
STATE DEPT SPOKESMAN CROWLEY SAYS THAT THE PEACE AGREEMENT CANNOT BE ACHIEVED IN THE TIME FRAME AS PREVIOUSLY ANTICIPATED...... HE SAYS................... " because of an deadlock over Israeli settlements.' THAT'S NOT TRUE ! MOST OF US KNOW THAT PEACE WAS ALWAYS DELAYED BECAUSE THE ARABS / PALS DON'T REALLY WANT A TRUE PEACE.
2. Two major questions remain.
Linda ,   Poltava, Ukraine   (11.16.10)
1) When is Abbas&Co Ltd. going to recognize Israel as Jewish democratic Zionist state ? 2) When will the PLO charter have the goal of Israel's destruction removed from the text ? The above two questions in one: what sort of "peace" can be negotiated with someone who is bent on your destruction and rejects your right to exist at all ?
3. SLIP WHERE?
.....DACON9   (11.16.10)
4000 YEARS SINCE THE JEWS THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE PAID TO BUILD THE PYRAMIDS ONLY TO FIND THEY ARE SLAVES... 4000 YEARS THE LIBERALS DREAMED OF PEACE YET THE PROPHETS WARNED AGAINST interfaith dinners, co habitation ,liberalsim, tolerance for the enemies. for 2000 years the prophets told us Jews to separate as the ONE GD OF EVERYTHING TOLD US... ISRAEL... THE SOCIALIST PEOPLE ARE SO INSECURE THAT THEY INVITED THE ARABS ''BACK INTO ISRAEL''' IN 1948 GEN DAYAN GAVE UP THE TEMPLE MT IN 1967.. SHARON STARTED THE PROCESS OF GIVING AWAY LAND....

THE LAND IS HOLY WHO WILL BE HOLY WITH THE LAND?
4. What is this ? ? ?
AlbertoGA ,   St. George, USA   (11.16.10)
A giant trap by Obama and his gang. No more of this nonsense.
5. GOOD! Let it all slip away...
Israeli 2   (11.16.10)
Nobody wants it anyway...this is all a game of make pretend.
6. abbas won't be back, no need for freeze. This arrogant
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.16.10)
arab will insist on 101% of everything he demands before coming to bargain, there will be NO negotiations.
7. So???
Rachel ,   US   (11.16.10)
So Bibi would deliberately keep housing prices high if he doesn't get Shas' support?
8. Plan is to throw Jews out of homeland
David ,   Shiloh Israel   (11.16.10)
You are racist pigs...period! Your wicked plan is nothing short then aiming to throw Jews out of our rightful homeland. You are no better then those that refused to give assylum to homeless Jews prior to the European slaughter. As long as there is a G-d in heaven, your evil designs will turn against you. Just remember the motto 'In G-d we trust' because we really do! Shiloh is mentioned prominently in the Bible you profess to honour. Its mentioned clearly as a Jewish homeland settled by Joshua, thousands of years before the imposter PA developed their liturgy of lies that rest well with Anti-Semites and self hating Jews seeking to distance themselves from their true roots. Your actions will sadly bring a curse upon you. I only hope that the many good G-d fearing Americans don't get tangled in the snare you set.
9. Are people at the State Dept that daft?!?!?
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (11.16.10)
How do they intend to reach a peace treaty with Hamas in power in Gaza? Abbas will NOT sign a deal that does not include Gaza. Hamas will NOT sign a peace treaty with Israel. Period. This year. Next year. In 100 years. What are the state department people smoking?
10. Next elections and the likud is history!
jason white ,   afula,israel   (11.16.10)
If we are able to form a new rightist government after the next elections, we should try all those that sold Israel out to her enemies. Also those that voted for oslo, wye and this settlement freeze. The arabs are allowed to illegally build and live on our Jewish land and we Jews the owners of the land are forbidden by a jihadist, a rabid dog anti Zionist sec of state and an Israeli government of frightened ghetto "jews". W e should also start to send the hara-dim out of Israel. Maybe some other country like iran or saudi will take them in? We can do without them, they are a sixth column and a drain on our resources.
11. is israel being blamed?
David ,   Haifa Israel   (11.16.10)
the thugs waitied 9 months to talk.... BLAME THEM! oh wait!!! in the eyes of the world its is PC to blame a jew for all the wrong doings.
12. No timeline
Jerrold Cohen ,   Seal Beach, USA   (11.16.10)
There is NO timeline for peace. Israel doesn't want peace. Israel wants land. If you have been following Israel you have to be a moron not to see that.
13. @12..NO TIMELINE FOR MORONS LIKE YOU, THE PERPETUAL MORONIC
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (11.16.10)
THIS GUY AT @12 CALLS OTHER PEOPLE MORONS WHO DON'T AGREE WITH HIS SLANTED PROPOGANDA OF ANTI-ISRAEL VIEWS. HE STATES...." If you have been following Israel you have to be a moron not to see that. ".......... #12 .....YOU ARE THE MORON HERE.
14. This is the Timeline
John DeLancy ,   Alaska, USA   (11.16.10)
Nov 26, the Israeli Government makes official the FIVE-month freeze (it will be made retroactive to September 26 and all the permits issued since then will be put on hold). February 25, the PA finally comes back to the negotiating table. Hamas sends Qassams to fall on Tel Aviv to celebrate. February 26, the PA demands Israel not abandon the Freeze, because, as they have already said, they will only negotiate as long as the Freeze is in effect. March 1, the UN passes a resolution to condemn Israel for stealing February 29th from the calendar. The US abstains form voting. March 2, the US gives Israel the following offer: continue the settlement Freeze and the US will reward Israel with continued diplomatic relations including hosting an Israeli Embassy in the US for the duration of the Freeze. January 2013, The new US Administration reverses B. Hussein Obama's pro-Islam, anti-Israel policies. Some time Later: All nations are arrayed against Israel, the Almighty delivers Israel from all its enemies. (does this include the US.?) Some time later +1, there is finally peace because the Arab countries are finally decimated.
15. Jeremiah 6:14
Juan ,   EspaƱa   (11.16.10)
Obama is seeking a false peace which would seek to destroy Israel. Jeremiah 6:14 "They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace." There will NEVER be a man brokered peace.
16. #13 Jerrold is correct, ppl who cant see it are morons
Nour ,   One State   (11.16.10)
1996: Zionist bulldozers roar their way up to Jabal Abu Ghneim to establish the illegal colony of Har Homa. Today Har Homa expansion is called "legitimate natural growth of Jewish suburb of Jerusalem". Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on you. I bet you havent done a fraction of Jerold Cohen reading on the apartheid situation in the holy land! Free Palestine begins with confronting evil.
17. Time is running out!!!
Spencer ,   Israel   (11.16.10)
The present pro Islamic US administration could not persuade Netanyahu that we should surrender Israeli land to the palestions so now they are reverting to bribery! As long as the Arabs declared goal is the destruction of israel NOTHING will bring about peace. Barak HUSSEIN Obama should start realising who America's real allies are, and the Muslims are not on that list. The majority of Americans know who they can rely upon and they showed this in the resounding defeat of Obama and his policies received in the recent elections. The sooner Obama is out of office, the better for the free world..
18. What deadlock?
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (11.16.10)
Assuming that the Obama is right and Jewish villages are the problem, why is their a deadlock? For ten months, Netanyahu imposed a racist freeze on Jewish building in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria while encouraging massive Arab building. The Arabs refused to negotiate all that time, claiming that the problem is that without Israel's agreement to absorb unlimited Arab immigration there is nothing to discuss. Despite this, Obama is still blaming Israel. Netanyahu is a fool: he betrayed his voters, the Likud and Israeli interests and Obama still blames him.
19. no.16
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (11.16.10)
So who,s Jerold Cohen anyway and what does he know about politics ,in the ME ?
20. no.9
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (11.16.10)
It must be that Swat valley hashish making it,s way to the back door of the Obama White House ,courtesy of the returning soldiers from Afghanistan and Pakistan ?
21. SHOCKING!
Potash Katiftof ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (11.16.10)
I don't think this comes as a surprise to anyone. They can't even get them to recognise each other or sit at a table and negotiate for more than a week at a time, how the heck are they going to make peace within a year. What is the point of putting the deadline like that anyways?
22. @16 Nour, it all depends on one's...
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (11.16.10)
interpretation of evil.
23. DOES ISRAEL WANT LAND? NOT
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (11.16.10)
The fact is since 1967 Israel has shrunk in size by over 50%. Israel signed a peace agreement with Egypt and relinquished the Sinai. It was a piece of land that gave Israel a strategic sea port and access to oil. Yet for peace they walked away leaving those strategic assets. So for those who think Israel just wants to grab land? Israel sure has a funny way of doing that, Since Israel has given up land, like walking out of the Gaza strip 5 years ago. Between Gaza and the Sinai Israel has simply gotten smaller over the last 53 years. When a country shrinks by well over 50% in 53 years how do idiots on these boards make a serious accusation that Israel just wants land? Learn how to read a map guys. Israel minus the Sinai and Gaza Strip is not land grabbing. It called land giving. BTW did it bring Israel peace?
