1. Saudi Arabia is a terror state
CJK   (01.08.14)
the saudis finance all radical mosques and madrassas in the world. they finance all radical sunni groups in syria. the saudis are responsible for the large majority of sunni terror attacks in the world. most of the nine eleven terrorists were saudi. bin laden was a saudi citizen who was radicalised in saudi schools. the saudis have no right whatever to interfere in israel's internal affairs. the saudis have no right to jerusalem, the holy city of david. the saudis have no right to tell the sovereign jewish state where to build and where to put her borders. the saudis have attempted to destroy israel since her declaration of independence, directly and through proxies, and now through lobbies, blackmail of other states, and through the corrupt use of the united nations. the saudis failed in the past, and will fail in the present.

3. " Israeli policies could ruin peace negotiations"
Robert ,   Australia   (01.08.14)
The Saudi FM is confirming Israel's intention.
4. Feisal should worry about his little kingdom..
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (01.08.14)
Throne of the Saud clan is on shaky foundation...
5. Enough acquiescing, already!
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (01.08.14)
Haven't we seen it before? Original land including today's Jordan, allocated to us from the former Ottoman Empire..whittled away to 3 enclaves by 1947..thanks to the two-faced British kurwas reneging on their mandate. Oh puleeeze. Maybe it's time for Kerry and the world to to tell the Palestinians to take a hike. They've blown their chances to have peace on their terms..countless times.
6. Kerry Israel is not looking out to make peace
Joe   (01.08.14)
with the PA who consists of Hamas and Abbas/Fattah. Kerry take them with you to the US and make peace with them there.
7. ping pong ping pong ping pong
Rob ,   Ashqelon, Israel   (01.08.14)
8. to Number 5 Kurwa
Shimon ,   Poleg   (01.08.14)
I haven't heard that word since my early childhood. You've brought back memories of my grandfather who was born in Bialystok. Thanks for that! He would only use this work when particularly annoyed and my grandmother would be horrified!
9. If you want peace and I say so, they can have a piece
Tarbouche ,   Aswan   (01.08.14)
Sooner the sham talks end the least damage done. They continue as we fear what Obama might unleash. I reckon we are buying time till the Obama duck breaks a leg.
10. Have Saudis+Palestinians accepted Jewish state
Sam ,   Canada   (01.08.14)
Kerry went to the Saudis to get them and the Palestinians to accept Israel as the Jewish state. So, where is the acceptance? The Arabs demand and complain a lot but offer nothing. Unable to destroy Israel themselves they are impatient for the US and EU to do it for them. They want the West to get them Jerusalem and freeze out the Jews while avoiding peace themselves.
11. Jerusalem
Max ,   Washington DC   (01.08.14)
Jerusalem is the undivided capital of Israel and the most Sacred City for the Jewish People. It allows Christians and Muslims to worship freely at their Churches and Mosques. How many Churches and Mosques are Christians and Jews allowed to worship freely in Mecca?
12. Peace Talks
Ros ,   Tel Aviv   (01.08.14)
The first topic on the agenda is and should be - for Abbas and all the Arab States all over the region to recognize the State of Israel - then talking can begin!!!!!
13. Saudi FM has to say something, anything against Israel,
A ,   Belgium   (01.08.14)
he could never admit that Saudi Arabia is terrified of Iran and is depending on Israel to help neutralize (which the US has been able or unwilling to do) Iranian nuclear ambitions.
14. Arabs need perpetual "straw war" to justify Greater Arabia
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.08.14)
15. "The Saudi Royal" travesty, A Mafia Family who stole Arabia
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.08.14)
16. Saudi paid Arafat $1 billion a year for 30 years to terroriz
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.08.14)
17. where's the rapping?
(01.08.14)
i was expecting the Saudies to lay down some sick beats.
18. Peace Advice From One Of The Most Repressive Arab States
Ross Gallen ,   Henderson, USA   (01.08.14)
The Saudis are hardly in a position to give advice on the so-called peace process. It is amazing that Kerry keeps sucking up to them in view of the fact that Osama Bin Laden came from Saudi as did most of the 9-11 perpetuators. Perhaps Kerry has some mystical insight that the rest of us lack or perhaps he is just continuing the Obama tradition to bowing to despotic potentates. Peace is made between the parties, and if peace is to be made its the Palestinians who need to get their house in order. The Saudis teach hate in their Madrases so don't mind my cynicism when they posture that Israel is destroying the peace process. The real question is "what peace process?" The Palestinians could have made peace in 1929, but instead they rioted and killed Jewish people. It's the same story for the last one hundred years. Jews have to face the fact that the Arabs just don't like them in spite of their best efforts to co-exist with the Arabs. Abbas and his cronies are just trying to do with words what all the might of the Arab armies could not do on the battle field. Don't fall for illusory promises from Kerry and Obama. Don't be taken in by slick political tactics and pasted on smiles.
19. "WikiLeaks...Saudi Arabia...a cash machine for terrorists"
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.08.14)
20. #8 Shimon, it's the only word to describe them for...
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (01.08.14)
....how they managed their mandate for us post WW1 up until Yom Ha'atzmaut. The Brits took credit for cracking the 'Enigma' code when, in fact, the Poles were responsible for that lucky turning point in WWII. Let's not go into how the Brits didn't allow the Polish pilots from 303 Squadron march in the Victory Parade even though they saved Britain's ass in the Battle of Britain.. ....the list is longer ; )
21. #19, is mine. I wholeheartedly approve the comment.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.08.14)
22. Terror finanzier
olavi ,   espoo, finland   (01.08.14)
Saidis are the the most unreliable people. They finance terrorits like al-aida and Pakistans nuke program which may deliver nukes to saudis. Luckily they are totally incompetent in any modern complicated technology. Big ignorant country ruled by some islamist despots.
23. Saudis on peace negotiations
Stephen ,   Schenectady, USA   (01.09.14)
The Saudis head a fascist male theocracy who demean all women delegitimizing the female body, face, intellect and deny women all freedoms. They also lack the courage to make peace with Israel now. The Saudi Regime also relies on Jews/Israel to protect them from the Shiites and Iranians. Who cares what the Saudis think or say. The USA shamefully has lost all credibility in terms of rhetorical war cries for freedom and democracy when it's elected leaders bow to the cowardly tyrannical Saudis.
