Like Netanyahu said "stop negotiating to negotiate". If you're really interested in peace talks then go and do it! You can't make demands and then negotiate, that defeats the whole purpose. Is Hamas really that stupid that they think they can make demands little by litte until they get everything they want? "stop building, release all the terrorists, give us the west bank, give us all us all of Israel and get out and then.... we will talk pease"

what is wrong with the jews?? oslo has been shown to be a terrible move by peres and beilin. Thousands of israelis have been wounded andkilled. abbas and fatah are unrepentent liars, and hamas a radical moslem brotherhood that supported bin laden. Only truces can be negotiated,t he rest is bull. after peres, barak and olmert, israel had enough of them. So they bring back bibi. Why do you have to offer concessions? Say no to obama if he is pressuring you. Lieberman is dead right. Theere is something wrong with the jews with endless concessions,begging, running to the US. We all know olmert was a coward 100% with livni not far behind. But bibi,you ought not to be offering abbas anything. let him make concessions on right of return, on israeli control and soveriegnty, not rental of the jordan valley etc etc. Just hold your ground and stop listening to barak who is olmert in military uniform. There is something wrong with the jews with the endless concessiions and fear. its a sickness.

if that is right so netanyahu must resign immediately , he will be the most PM that made concessions to both fatah and hamas in the history of israel , it will be a betrayal of the conservative cause and the likud voters he must be replaced by yaalon or uzi landau i hope that this report is incorrect shalom

Dear Erekat, you are doing fine. Keep it up. Just keep saying "no!" to every gesture from Israel and maybe Norway & Sweden might create a novel prize in "the art of saying no," who knows? The more people replace people in fakestinian land the more stupidity rules them... Anyway, there's no crime in dreaming as long as they remain just that: dreams.

I dare you to try and call Bibi's bluff and return to the negotiation table to deal with boarders first. After you and Abbas wasted 9.5 months of the 10 month freeze is it any wonder that Bibi refuses to renew it? The Israeli people will not accept your games again.

How typical. They never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

this guy is nothing more than a tub of stupid rehashed remarks, WITH HIS never ending babbles of demands and complaints... BUT NEVER A WIN WIN SOLUTION ALWAYS AN ISRAELI LOSE, ARAB GAIN. NO CREATIVE THINKING ALLOWED OR EVEN ATTEMPTED NO PROGRESSIVE MOVES OR HAMASS WILL KILL HIM. NEVER A MEET HALF WAY PROPOSAL CONSTANT BERATING AND DENIGRATION OF ISRAEL HE IS A DEAD ENDER, YOUR STANDARD ARAB LOSER WHO Just whines, complains, demands, sulks, berates, threatens, CHEST BLEATS, and is in general a VERY BORING, DISAPPOINTING, myopic shlep, WHO IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY PROGRESS, JUST "PRE=CONDITIONS".

If it verbal, it is onl worth the paper it isn't written on VERBAL DON'T GO

If so why doesn't the US of America move its embassy there recognizing it as Israel's legitimate capital? Many other parts were annexed and they recognized IT! Frankly...I think we need the return of King David.

The Islamist-Jihadists have NO right usurping the Land of Israel. Israel should say NO to them. Israel should continue to develop the Land of Israel.

Nothing short of a total settlement freeze in EJ will be accepted to return to talks. That was always our position and it won't change.

No. You still refuse to even acknowledge Jewish history in the region, let alone our unalienable right to Jerusalem and self-determination. Personally, without any type of major concessions from your side....and showing up to negotiate is NOT a concessions....there is no reason to discuss this further. We can always revert to the Oslo Accords, signed by Arafat, which allows for the continued organic expansion of settlements.

Even in this photo that worker is an Arab. If what Israel is doing is so horrible than why are they taking part in it?

Arafat was offered tons of land and $1 billion dollars for a peace agreement and for them to start their own country. There have been a few offers like this. Arafat turned it down because he wanted all of it. No Jews. Just Muslims. There is no negotiating with these people, can that be any more clear!????

THERE WOULD EVENTUALLY BEEN ABLE TO BUILD ON THE WEST BANK AND EAST JURASALEM/AL QUDS AFTER AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE INVOLVED PARTIES AND THE UN WOULD HAVE BEEN REACHED.

What is the value of these "revelations"? They are not improving the image of the Fatah officials. Instead, they only make Fatah look more and more ridiculous. Ah! I know! They are just fillers until such time they can come up with something solid. They are so terrified of the "table" that they will do and say anything to avoid it. They will have to be manacled and dragged there with some guns pointed at their heads, Gaddafi style.

If Netanyahu made any such offer (to restrict Jewish building in Judea and Samria), Likud should replace him immediately. No Likud P.M. should be allowed to defy the Constitution of the Likud Party and the wishes of the vast majority of Israeli voters. Demand unrestricted Jewish building in Judea and Samaria NOW!

Israel is hundreds of times more powerful than the Palestinians. The Palestinians are the losers, and they don't get to set preconditions. And FYI, Jerusalem is Israel's undivided and eternal capital, and there will be NO freeze there. If you don't want to talk, fine. Let Israel impose a solution on you, one much less generous than what you could have gotten had you just talked.

The article reads: "Erekat said the Palestinians dismissed it because it applied only to government construction." Your leaders said, "we are offering to ignore the command of Ha'Shem to rebuild Zion." The fake "Palestinian" Arabs said, "no." How long, dear Israel, are you going to depend on your enemies to keep you faithful to the word of Ha'Shem? Would it not be wiser to be faithful on your own instead?

The salient facts conform to both the sinful actions of the Israeli leadership in the name of "goodwill" and the intransigent fake "Palestinian" Arabs saying "no" as usual - and thereby keeping Israel from sinning in this way. BTW Fad - still praying for the Copts for protection from the Muslims there. Be safe, my friend.

Moshiach will come; Scripture guarantees this. Until then, Scripture also guarantees you victory over your enemies. Stand your ground. Don't fear the Muslims, only fear Ha'Shem.

Every day between now and the fulfillment of Obadiah that you do not repent of your hatred of Israel and of the Jews is just another day you're wasting just waiting around to suffer the judgement of God (the _real_ God, the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, not the false moon-and-murder god).

Yes, you sure act like two years olds You don't have any committment from us in writing, while the committments that Arafat made have not been fulfilled There is an old saying "No fool like an old fool", you're the proof

Fad and all faithful Christians, come out of Egypt. Your ecclesiastical leader is heaping up judgement against your people by his gross anti-Semitism. Fad you shouldn't be there to reap what he sowed.

hi john , i wrote a comment but it wasnt posted well i wrote that the facts on the ground spoke louder than the news reports . there is a defacto freeze in judea and samaria so netanyahu must be replaced by someone else also i would like to thank you so much for your message of support i think i am going to leave the country shalom
