1. Dear Kerry!
Mira ,   Vienna   (03.13.14)
This goes all on your account! You and your boss couldn't get enough of smashing the little trust that might have been there with your constant zizag poloicy and bashing and threatening of Israel. This made the Pals think they had nothing to fear and could go on inciting and denying and refusing! Well done again, you and your boss made a mess of almost all the region and beyond.
2. Israel wants a better deal than "International Law" provides
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.13.14)
3. " the highest he had ever seen."
michael redboun ,   Lisbon - Portugal   (03.13.14)
" the highest he had ever seen.", which doesn't say much given the very short time that Kerr has been involved. More importantly the PA has said that i will quit the talks, which it never wanted, after the final prisoner release. So why do news reports still pretend that peace talks are ongoing?
4. Mistrust ?!
yosef, phd ,   florida - israel   (03.13.14)
It was long since the subject of moral equivalency was even considered. To even mention in the same breath the names of Benjamin Netanyahu and Abbas is nauseating to say the least. One represents the best of Western civilization, the other a fictitious entity, artificially created by the Arab "neighbors" of Israel a few decades ago. It exists to hate and resent the Jewish presence and serves indefinitely as a political football and merciless canon fodder. As long as this topsy turvy values are equated, there will never be an acceptable solution to M.E. thorniest problem. But, of course, global Antisemitism and Israel-demonizing was never more sophisticated and refined either
5. "... the big choices that have to be made here."
Devorah   (03.13.14)
Israel's most critical and expeditious choice should be the complete disengagement from Kerry and his Framework for Relevance, Adulation and Unabashed Deceit (FRAUD).
6. Mr. Kerry is wrong: There is only one fundamental gap, whose
N.L.Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (03.13.14)
nature is the categorical objection by the Arabs - Muslim-Arabs, not Christian-Arabs or Druse-Arabs, mind you!! - to accept Israel's RIGHT to be, to exist as the sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people on ANY parcel of land that is the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people for the past 4,000 years.
7. There's even larger gap
Zoe ,   Rishon Le Zion   (03.13.14)
Between Kerry's ears.
8. Kerry + Obama have no understanding of situation at all
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (03.13.14)
While they are talking about some peace agreement, Israel receives over 60 rockets into its southern districts from Gaza. What kind of peace treaty does that spell out?
9. Pal idea of peace was+is Israel hands over country to them.
Sam ,   Canada   (03.13.14)
The Palestinians like to make themselves look "downtrodden" to the West for all the benefits it gets them. The reality is they see themselves as part of 350 million Arabs and 1.5 billion Muslims. They feel they outnumber Israel so that sooner or later Israel will be destroyed, so why compromise. They are just playing Kerry, Obama and the West for a bunch of suckers.
10. Mr Kerry mistrust on both sides???
michael   (03.13.14)
The Palestinians will be getting something physical its called land and world recognition. If you have your way the palestinians will be getting something tangible. While Israel will get a pretty beautiful piece of paper. Israel is not getting anything phydical except Abbas's word. There is reason to mistrust based on his organization's track record. The problem is ABBAS DOESN"T WANT TO END IT. HE WANTS TO IMPLEMENT THE FAMOUS ARAFAT PHASE PLAN. Mr. Kerry please go deal with some real issues like Ukraine and Syria and Georgia (2008 Russian invasion).
11. Kerry's "eureka moment!
tiki ,   belgium   (03.13.14)
There is no trust! From where this "insight all of a sudden? Did he return from space? How does one recognize a dumb person? When he opens his mouth to prove it!
12. Duh….
Abie Dee ,   New York, US   (03.13.14)
Do you think, just maybe, sending in dozens of missiles into the country you're negotiating peace with might have something to do with it ? Just sayin'….
13. knowledge is power
house of israel ,   KPHHHO   (03.17.14)
the only way anything can can happen to cause peace would be if mr kerry awnd the untrusted americans would just mind their own business and let israenger l do whays good for israel the usa has no idea how much danger they ae to themselves and christans and jews
14. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
