ben Ish   (01.01.14)
1. force Israeli capitulation 2. weaken the Isreali position 3. strenghten palestinians at Israeli expense 4. generate propaganda demonstrating the exact opposite 5. repeat 1-4 continuously. 6. Make backdoor deals with Iran 7. force Israeli capitulation 8. claim that more talks are necessary, so that Iran gets all the time it needs. 9. Repeat 6-8 continuously 10. wait for Iran to finish bomb and missiles. I have been telling you this is the plan for 5 years now, while NWO has moved this plan all the way to step ten. Sure, keep releasing prisoners, capitulating and talking...
2. Netanyahu opposes" giving up Gaza "????Idiots at AP
(01.01.14)
,and EU politicos are spoon fed this idiocy by primitive journos
3. Obama will impose UNSC '67 borders as first step, NATO 2nd
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.01.14)
...all other issues will be negotiated later.
4. Strike while iron hot
Harold ,   USA   (01.01.14)
John Kerry will strike that hot iron and if nothing happens peace will be imposed and the conflict ends. Otherwise a Palestinian state will be recognized by the UN and US will not use its Veto vote.
5. The process died, please tell Kerry!
Michael Redbourn ,   Lisbon Portugal   (01.01.14)
6. Hypnotic pressures to treat with aliens
(01.01.14)
7. As for "striking while the iron is hot",
Curtis ,   USA   (01.01.14)
Kerry deserves a red hot poker shoved up his you-know-what for putting Israel in harm's way.
8. kerry is eying the 2016 presidency not a practical deal
zionist forever   (01.01.14)
No recognition of Israel as a Jewish state No IDF presence in the Jordan Valley. No deal until all prisoners have been released. I imagine no compromise on ROR What exactly has been achieved apart from the fact that we just released over 100 terrorists so that Abbas would do us the honour of agreeing to take part in talks about the creation of a palestinians state. Abbas has seen Kerry is desperate for a deal so he is going to play it tough on every issue to get more and more concessions from Israel because he knows the US can put pressure on Israel can't put on the PA The Obama regime has screwed up on everything they have ever touched at home and abroad and now they want to screw Israel again just like did with Iran making Saudi Arabia a closer ally than the US. Kerry Has his eye on the 2016 presidency and being able to go into the contest so wants something to boast about
9. Kerry and peace talk
garry wilson ,   temecula usa   (01.01.14)
As much as I pray for peace for Jerusalem and Israel there is no hope for this forced push by Obama. His legacy will be the destruction of the United States and a bigger failure than Carter.
10. Netanyahu, do not sign anything
CJK   (01.01.14)
do not let the obama dictatorship destroy the jewish state. a signature will bind you and israel. as gen. yaalon said, a boycott is preferable than missiles from the territory of the west bank.
11. Whatever he wants fronm us, we must
Reuven   (01.01.14)
do the opposite.
12. Kerry and Peace
Albert ,   Buenos Aires, Arg   (01.01.14)
a wasp cannot press jews into a bad deal. Go home, yankee!
13. BEWARE OF KERRY BEARING GIFTS
stude ham   (01.01.14)
what kind of nonsense is this bit about 'conflicting claims to Jerusalem'? Jerusalem belongs entirely to the Jewish people lock stock and barrel... and there is no way that the palis will rip out any part of that geography. Kerry obviously has no clue of what's needed.
14. 1967 borders only if Israel complies with ALL it requirement
lydia ,   Brisbane   (01.01.14)
The Israeli Crazies must not be rewarded for years of blatant intransigents. and UN violations, decades of land thievery and mass murder. Abbas should insist that the starting point of the agreement be on nothing less than Israels own Unilaterally declared borders along the frontier of the Partition Plan. If Netanyahu continues to play silly bugger now is the best time take the issue to the UN. Now when Obama has a bone to pick with Bibi for his disgraceful interference in the US election to elect Romney. .
15. Kerry must bring Pollard!!!!!!!!!
Ben ,   USA   (01.01.14)
16. strike while the iron is hot
milson   (01.01.14)
kerry is smart as he knows he could get bibi to sign a deal cause bibi is nervous about saying No to kerry and obama.In other words, though the deal stinks for israel, bibi would say yes because he is gutless. All his brave talk over the years is as a press person, otherwise he is a lightweight and has no guts. shamir,bennett, leiberman, landau, feiglin, yaalon can say No to kerry face to face. Bibi cannot as he is gutless. The other israelis are best reflected by yechaimovitch, livni and peretz and peri who say that you could leave the jordan valley as it is quiet now, and the arabs won't smuggle in arms. and besides, the US and EU will deal with it as they will be with us. Six million got burned in ovens and these dumbbells buy into fairytales. If you want to give up jordan valley, then give up tel aviv and move to cracow or new york. I am ashamed of these jews. Its enough to make one convert outside the religion.These are felllow jews??!! I don't recognize them. The arabs are at least consistent.They want no jews in the palestine period.
17. My new pathetic broken record is "Chicken and Egg"
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.01.14)
18. Having seen our previous failures at self respect &plain
tom ,   tel aviv   (01.01.14)
determination I wouldn't be surprised at all, if Obama &Co won't have their "moment" on the White House Lawn, with smiling Dr.Shoah-Denier Abu Mazen and the weak Israeli PM, shaking hands while smiling into cameras, their "benefactor" Hussein Obama looking from the side, watching two naughty kids making up....What a nightmare!
19. ha ha ha ha ha, good joke
Larry ,   LA (formerly)   (01.01.14)
from your own headlines: Has Kerry lost his mind? Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas slams Israeli settlement building in Jerusalem 'Settlement cancer spreads' Kerry returns to Israel; wants to 'strike while iron hot' Thanks Ynet I needed a good laugh this morning...
20. Spring is coming soon.
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (01.01.14)
And the Americans are going to spring an agreement upon us that we will eternally regret. If the Arab Spring was a disaster, the American Spring will be all that more horrendous for us. We have given back murderers and evil people, and have received zippo in return, and won't. In fact, the idea of "receiving something in return" for giving up these terrorists is, wrong thinking to begin with. With Mr. Kerry, we have everything to lose and nothing to gain. Israel is facing its darkest days ever very soon.
21. Before any agreement,there should be Pal Elections to see if
Alan ,   SA   (01.01.14)
Hamas has the Parliamentary majority or PA has the Parliamentary majority How can Abbas negociate and sign ANY document when he and his "party" don't appear to have as much support as Hamas . US claims it favours "democracy" ,so how can it accept Abbas as the "partner" when he was long ago obliged to hold elections .He is not a lawful head of Pal Parliament So US expects Israel to sign an agreement with an unlawful leader???
22. few demands we should make from the US
zionist forever   (01.01.14)
Any dal must involve the release of Jonathan Pollard, no release no deal. Any deal must involve the US bombing all of Irans nuclear facilities so no matter how much sweet talking Rohani does he will never be able to avoid the destruction of all Irans nuclear facilities. No bombing no deal. Obuma & kerry want a deal so bad let them make a few concessions of their own otherwise butt out of things that don't concern you and you dont understand.
23. 2nd Holocaust likely if we give in to Obama
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (01.01.14)
Obama Bet he'd get Israel out of ME Obama for Iran alliance, Bye Saudi Kerry wants to qualify for 2016 Abbas irrelevant & scared Let the EU BDS us Cursed those who sold us at Oslo Do not sell out to Hussein Obama
24. 11
AL QUDS ALYAHUDI ,   Jerusalem Jewish   (01.01.14)
I agree, we must do the opposite, and stand firm. Once this Islamist President will realize that ISRAEL do not take his orders, he will respect the iron fist of ISRAEL. Stand firm Natanyahu and be brave like your late brother who fought with courage, BE COURAGES and majority of Israeli Nation will stand with you.
25. get real!!!!!
Robert ,   farmington,wv   (01.01.14)
The jews can handle there own problems , they don't need Kerry over there making it worst , a good example look what Kerry and Obama has done to America ?enough said.
26. #22 Do you undertand the word "VETO" ?
On the Balcony   (01.03.14)
The United States has spent an inestimable amount of international political capital and credibility exercising it's UN Security Council veto power to protect Israel. The U.S.'s veto power is not controlled by Congress --it is a carrot and stick that Obama alone holds. Israel is not in a position to make demands. If not for the U.S. it is a certainty that Israel long ago would have been subjected to stringent international sanctions. It may yet find itself in that position.
