He knows what he says isn't true, he's just paid to say it. The problem is that some people believe him
32. It Won't Happen
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (04.17.13)
There will not be any agreement to a "two-state solution" within the next two years, even the next two hundred. Windows of opportunity open and shut all the time and there is no such thing as a last chance. There will always be another. The whole process is doomed to fail since the Arabs will never come to terms with a Jewish homeland here and the Jews will never abandon their claim to the entire Land of Israel. The only solution - one state - kinda like what we have today, but Israel fully controls all of Judea and Samaria and the Arabs become full citizens like everyone else. Kerry's real task should be to convince the Arabs that this is their best option.
33. Why the long face John?

Zechariah   (04.17.13)
It is the Duty of the Jews to prevent Criminally Insanity getting nuclear weapons .If there is a Palestinian State The Holylands Physical Preservation has to be insured by Massive military Capacity and Extreme Protection for its inhabitants,

That can always be changed.
45. ONE STATE SOLUTION BEST...
Deep Thought ,   USA   (04.17.13)
Let us have a ONE STATE solution with Israelis and Palestinians in ONE NATION... ONE MAN = ONE VOTE
46. What a stupid comment
GHook93   (04.18.13)
Why in 2 years? Because the mesiah is leaving office in 2 years? Peace can only be achieved with the Palestinian desire life more than they desire death. The Palestinians have to make concessions NOT THE JEWS. Jerusalem is ours and it won't be divided! Not one so called refugee will set foot in Israel. The Arab settlements in the Israel aka the Arab triangle will be traded for the large Jewish cities in Samaria and Judea! Lastly, Palestine will take in Palestinians from Israel that are deemed enemies of the state starting with Zobia!
47. # 37 Build
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (04.17.13)
That sounds good to me.
48. Two People's Federated Structure
Zivron   (04.18.13)
Areas in Judaea and Samariah for the Jews and Palestine for the Arabic People's can have Palestinian Megacities and Agricutual Lands and for Jews also.Parts of Islamic Israel ought be allotted to Humanitarian Islamism of people that have the Capacity to Live in Peace with their Jewish neighbours.Demographic Compensation for the Severe Restrictions for Jewish escape from Nazism in Europe from Genocide is a moral necessity.
49. I hope and pray, that in two years from now,
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (04.18.13)
there will be ONE Israel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
50. Chelmer from Raanana.
michael Pielet ,   israel   (04.18.13)
#32, Reuven Raanana, you are a true Chelmer. Great idea, make millions of arabs in Judea and Samaria citizens of Israel. These arabs along with israeli arabs would form an irredentist movement that would destroy the Jewish State of Israel. Destroy by terrorism and at the ballot box. The arabs in Judea and Samaria are citizens of Jordan and remain citizens of the arab nation.
51. Israel has more to worry about than....
Robert ,   Australia   (04.18.13)
....a "two state situation". Syria shortly be governed by Al-Qaeda, courtesy the west.
52. K shud worry more about time running out for Iran Bomb
Alan ,   SA   (04.18.13)
53. Isael has lost its gambit, time for the
On the Balcony ,   Akko/NY/Kyiv   (04.18.13)
end-game. Scream all you want SarahB, Chaim, Eaglebeak and cohort. All that stands between Israel and devastating international isolation and sanctions is a single vote on the UN Security Counsel. The U.S.'s vote. Which is cast at the direction of the U.S. President. Do any of you believe that you can count on Bibi to stand up to the US? I 'm betting Bibi would prefer a Nobel Peace Prize from Oslo to a conviction and sentence from the ICC. Anyone want to take the bet? Anyone need help packing to come home?
54. He pushes, but does he push a "solution" or rather...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.18.13)
...the perpetuation of conflict and strife, but this time contrary to international law and toward a situation in which Israel will lose some of its defenses...??!!
55. "Negotiations" Like US Legislators..
musicwriter4life ,   USA   (04.18.13)
In order to create a "Two-state solution," there has to be two parties willing to negotiate said solution. There are the Palestinians, who seek to "precondition" the plan to death.... and the Israelis, who finally realized that giving in to pressure from liberals in the EU and the US to "gift" Abbas for no return was useless. and have hardened to points to which the Arabs will not agree.. The US analogy would be Democrat and Republican legislative negotiations.... Conclusion? NO Palestine.. Ever!
56. Mister Secretary, I have two questions.
leo ,   usa   (04.18.13)
"two-state solution between the Israelis and Palestinians must be reached in the next two years, or the window of opportunity may be closed." -- First, why would it close in 2 years if it hasn't closed in 65? -- Second, why closing of this so called window is bad thing for Israel?
57. Union and Confederacy - a Two State Solution!
Steven Plaut ,   Haifa   (04.18.13)
Kerry - go home!
58. End of Jewish democracy in 2 years
(04.18.13)
59. #51 is that a threat or a promise?
(04.18.13)
Do tell us what do you plan to DO about it, how and when. Otherwise, shut the F. up!
60. Bibi's choice: Nobel Peace Prize or...
(04.18.13)
a conviction by the ICC as a war criminal. Which do you think that Bibi will choose? Time is running out. Kerry chooses his words carefully. They reflect Obama's plan - give Israel up to two years to peacefully negotiate a 2 state solution and then throw U.S. diplomatic and financial support PA to force a two state solution. Obama has nothing to lose, nothing to fear. Either way, he wins in the arena of world opinion.
