1. Settlements, Shmettlements
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (12.07.10)
While the Arabs have, for the obvious reasons, drawn a line in the sand over the freeze, the idea is nonsense. After all if both parties sit down and come to an agreement, with defined borders it will end the building debate. Because the borders will be defined, regardless of what is being built. So the Arabs are doing what's called "cutting of their nose to spite their face". It's just another excuse in their long list of excuses for not sitting down and talking peace. The Arabs are more worried about achieving a PR victory...getting Israel blamed for the failure of the peace talks...than getting a country? It makes no sense. I've always said...and still believe...that the Arabs hold all the cards. They can sit down anytime they want and talk peace, they simply choose not to. They would rather make demands that they know in advance, Israel may not meet, then choose not to sit down and talk. If you walk into a Car Dealership and the Car is 30K, you tell the salesman you want to buy the car, he says fine it's 30K. You say look I'll only pay 15K for the car. The salesman says, I can't do that. but I'll come down to 26K, it's the best I can do. You say NO, 15K or it's your fault if I don't buy the car. In essence that's what's going on, the Arabs want it for 15K or no deal. OK then, it's no deal. But was he serious to begin with about buying a car?

BUILD ISRAEL BUILD! these leftards just don't get it!
3. "Freeze" stalled when Bibi wisely said "put it in writing"
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego, USA   (12.07.10)
Bibi, like the American voters, has learned the hard way that we have a psychopathic liar in the White House who promises anything that pops into his head, and then, when he gets what he wanted, backs out claiming "You Just Didn't Understand Me". America is sick of this guy and his cheap Chicago machine politics. Once Bibi delivered the 1st 10 month "freeze" for Obama, the "Arab normalization gestures" he was promised in return evaporated (we now know Obama never lined them up in the first place, it was a scam). "You Just Didn't Understand Me"! Never again. He gets nothing of substance from Bibi for promises that aren't in writing, backed by Congress. Obama's sleazy conduct and sloppy integrity has blown his credibility worldwide. America can not afford to have a four-flusher like this as president. He has to go.
4. Barak!!
David ,   Jerusalem   (12.07.10)
oh Barak! why cant you shut up!! seems like you also have a wiki"LEAK"!!
5. With 3 S. Am. countries declaring PA state talks needed soon
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (12.08.10)
Unless talks restart soon, then the Vatican and non-aligned countries are going to force the issue, with EU or Turkey likely next. Obama could at some point just abstain from UNSC vote since he gave Israel to option to control it but no deal could be worked out.
6. To # 3 Obama's future
Seppo ,   Finland   (12.08.10)
seems to be in his own and his lawyers hands. It does not matter where he is born because he is not "natural born citizen" which is constitutional requirement for the president. This means that both parents shoud be American citizens and even according to Obama himself his farther was British citizen. Many articles in wnd.com. Supreme Court does not dare to deal with the matter because "it is political". If Congress decides to fire him he will be gone the same day.
