1. What good would Pollard be if there is no Israel?
Yonatan Ben Avraham ,   Dishon, Israel   (03.23.14)
The Obama framework is the death of Israel. When Obama gives Texas and California back to Mexico then Israel will give back land.
2. The time has come
(03.23.14)
Obama has failed miserably at everything he has done, but his foreign affairs failures are minor compared to his internal failures: Obamacare, Lois Lerner, NSA. His last hope is to have Israel surrender to PLO before he is run out of town, or something really bad happens. The time has come for Netanyahu to stand up to Obama: run PLO / Fatah out of Judea and Samaria and extend IDF protection to Christian victims of Islamic genocide.
3. They'll free Pollard and we in return commit suicide?!
tom ,   tel aviv   (03.23.14)
Who knows: a nation that in return for 1 soldier freed 1000 Jihado- terrorist may just do that!
4. Freeing who? With full pardon and compensation and pension?
Miron ,   USA   (03.23.14)
Is there any secret of United States I can betray, I really like accommodations.
5. Mixing Pollard into the Suicidal Process
tiki ,   belgium   (03.23.14)
Freeing Pollard is one thing but it has to be done because it's the right thing to do by the Americans! The man has served his punishment and should be send home! That the Americans hold him as a bargaining chip puts the stain on them....not on Pollard or Israel! But, it has nothing to do whatsoever with signing suicidal contracts with Palestinian Arabs, who don't want peace but Israel. Kerry was warned over & over that nothing would come out of this same old, same old framework of a so called Peace Process, because one 'peace partner doesn't want peace but Israel.....how much Obama/Peres herald him as a genuine partner for peace. One can dress up a monkey as a girl, she still is a monkey!
6. Obama has one trouble with this Crimea - votes.
Miron ,   USA   (03.23.14)
7. Jonathan Polard, based on all moral and legal grounds, ought
N.L.Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (03.23.14)
to be freed now, regardless of the outcome of the Arab Israeli talks. The talks, from the start, have been a form of Arab extortion, and not for the first time. Let us not permit ourselves to constantly be extorted and at the same time demand that Polard is free, without any preconditions.
8. So must we sacrifice all Israel for release of sick Pollard?
Alan ,   SA   (03.23.14)
Now that Pollard is so ill and frail,Obama THINKS of releasing him in exchange for existence of Israel...Wow the deal of the millennium!!!
9. Pals will start violence,go to UN+then talk to Israel again
Sam ,   Canada   (03.23.14)
It's just the same cycle repeating itself as Palestinians reject compromise because they think Israel will still be destroyed. The Palestinians turn to violence and ask the other Arabs and UN to destroy Israel for them. When that doesn't work they return to talks for free concessions. Israel should go on settling until it becomes an eventual majority on the West Bank too.
10. Rerun and #5 (tiki)
Devorah   (03.23.14)
Kerry offered to consider releasing Pollard back in December. He somehow does not understand that Israel is not buying the death march he is selling. Tiki, your comment is excellent.
11. pollard for peace
Steve Goodman ,   Israel   (03.23.14)
Pollard is not worth the dangers this peace process would lead to.......I am sorry he is languishing in prison....he took the pay....he knew the risk involved......he is being punished for spying and being Jewish.........AM YISROEL CHAI
12. Israeli security comes before pollard
milson   (03.23.14)
bibi will agree to anything, he is so weak as to b e pathetic. Sherman rightly called him benjamin peres, I call him benjamin beilin, benjamin ben ami, benajamin olmert, benjamin pinkus, benajamin livni, benajamiin halutz, benajamin zeira, benjamin verter, benamin oren, benjamin peretz. Do you get the point. Arabs may be right on the jiohn kerry insult flap. israel is not acting like a independent naiton but a subservient vassel of the united states and therefore doesn't deserve a country. Pack up, get out palestine and move to new york and new jersey.
13. By US is meant the feminist/negro team
Leon   (03.23.14)
Barak Bathhouse Soetoro, Jen Psaki, Valerie Jarrett and cross-dressing ketchup klown and traitor John Kerry.
14. Cure Usefull Idiocy with more Usefull Idiocy !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (03.23.14)
I Quote - US said worried at imminent collapse of Israel-Palestinian talks According to the report, Western political sources said that the US administration is searching for a proposal favorable enough for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which would persuade his government to free Israeli Arab prisoners. Comment - This peace initiativa was dead from its wery beginning. If you sit with bad cards, you should notrise the ante. Arn.
15. Jews need to realize a few things
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (03.23.14)
Jews in Israel and in the Diaspora need to realize that America is in a downword spiral that it will not recover from for at least another 20 years. This is the collapse gap that Dmitri Orlov wrotehis book on. America is going to implode financially. IT IS A FRIGGIN GUARANTEE. Israel needs to hold fast and IGNORE THE HELL out of Obama and Kerry. Our military is prepared for the contingency of being cut off from military aid from the Americans. There are several means of redesigning and finding alternative production sources to maintain our military. Without stipulations and restrictions from the American military industrial complex we can do a great deal more buisness with India, China , and RUSSIA. We need to tell the Americans that they are not our gods or masters. The time has come. We are nearing the end game. Many a-hole anti semites will be very glad when we part ways... Won't help them any, their country is ruined and will remain ruined for decades. Jews need to wake the Hell up.
16. freeing Pollard will not make the Arabs
Zev ,   Israel   (03.23.14)
reach an agreement that they have no intention of reaching. Even if Israel releases Israeli Arab murderers of Jews the Arabs will never reach an agreement that will end the conflict with Israel.
17. Obama was warned that the Arabs will never compromise
CJK   (03.23.14)
obama's myopic love of the arab palestinians and all muslims in general prevented him and kerry from seeing the truth: these people will never compromise since their religion teaches them that they are always victorious. they invented the concept of the shaheed, and they will glorify their mass murdering terrorists as martyrs. they will continue to teach their children that jews are descendents of apes and pigs while the land of israel is an islamic waqf. obama needs to realise that to this day the arabs' sole goal is the total conquest and destruction of the jewish state of israel. it is for this reason that member states of the arab league keep even descendents of the arab palestinians in refugee camps without political or civil rights in violation of international humanitarian laws. for if these people were allowed to integrate in their host countries, the arab palestinian issue would disappear. one should never forget that the arab leadership has refused the offer of the international community to build housing for those in refugee camps in the territories of gaza and the west bank, and jordan, syria and lebanon have to this day refugee camps. it must be emphasised that the entire arab muslim world keeps the conflict alive on purpose with the sole aim to destroy the jewish state of israel. islam does not accept the concept of international laws and allows lying to infidels. islam only accepts hudna with non-muslims and will deceive the infidels to achieve its goals, however long it takes.
18. Sam: What Do You Mean Start?
emanon ,   USA   (03.23.14)
The violence of the arab factions never stopped.
19. Pollard for "Peace"...
Anita ,   St. Louis USA   (03.23.14)
As an American citizen, all I can say (with great sadness) is... America makes me sick. I want to vomit!
20. Here's a better deal
Harvey ,   London   (03.23.14)
US takes out Iranian nuclear weapons programme and at the same time impeaches Obama for constantly failing both his people and his allies including the Ukraine and Israel
21. America has a problem with Pollard
(03.23.14)
They have left it very late in the game to use him as a bargaining tool. As much as I want him released ASAP, what is the incentive for Israel to be blackmailed for less than two years left on his sentence? Also his health is a major issue. If he dies during the next 2 years the hardliners in Israel will greatly oppose U.S. desires in the region. They should release him now with no preconditions, they will achieve a lot more this way.
22. And the horrific secret might be revealed!!
Beary White ,   Norway   (03.23.14)
Mr sotero in the colored house will soon be willing to release Pollard (?) alive or dead, to get Bargouti freed and to let the talks to continue!! Then we know that mr sotero, the sunni, actually has held Pollard as a bargain chip, just like the infamous terrorists, hamasss, did with Gilad S. Might be he wants ALL of the Islamic killers and murders released from prisons in Israel??!! If this is to be the case, then just a question should be raised ; What makes the sunni sotero differ from any of the islamic terrorists in PA (Hamas/Fatah)?? One answer is obvious... Hopefully his apartment will be near the central square in Ryiad, for the sake of amusement when he retire...
23. The more history unfolds
Mira ,   Vienna   (03.23.14)
the more the cluelessness and helplessness and incorrect assumptions of the fools in the WH, which Ya'alon exposed so correctly, is to be seen for everybody. That's the prize they have to pay for their stubborn dumbness to believe that Pals were "peace" partners. Their Charta is violence, violence, violence, death, death, death! But Hussein and his ilk didn't take the effoft to find this out!
24. #18 Pals want public violence to gain attention
Sam ,   Canada   (03.23.14)
The Palestinians are always looking for attention to solve their demands. Not willing to compromise nothing can be solved.
25. HOW LOW can the US go ???????????
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.23.14)
UNBELIEVABLE !
26. # 25 christian.
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (03.23.14)
HOW LOW ? Hang on, sub - sub basement coming up ( down?) soon. meaning obama's hit the bottom of the barrel. Shalom and BUILD!!!!
27. # 20 Harvey GENIUS!!!! Bravo!
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (03.23.14)
All we need is a better President, this ones a damned drag plus the worst liar ever caught red handedly. So..... KEEP BUILDING DAMMIT !!!!
28. 21- no way
Courtney ,   Usa   (03.23.14)
He stays till the end
29. What about a swap..
The Kibitzer ,   Adelaide, Australia   (03.23.14)
Pollard for Vanunu? Any supporters for this idea?
30. let talks collapse
hymie   (03.23.14)
let the talks collapse and if war breaks out, israel is ready.Those who don't want war should leave. As for pollard, he alone is not worth concessions to abbas who is sitting on judeand samarian land. God hopes that the talks collapse. Likud, do not let bibi extend the talks or sign kerry's framework.
