Ruthless RealaPolitic will rule actually Peres was One of the Most Ruthless with his attack onLebanon in 1996 which was to prove he was Tough.Not tough enough to stop sixty and more killed and horribly injured in suicide Bombs .A settlement Slow down and Murderers Released .The World is a Jungle Run by Gangsters and War Criminals.

good will gesture? let the PA show a good will gesture by letting us build in Jenin or Jericho. Settlement freeze? for what? isn't that a democratic area that accepts Jews? or is human rights only a one way street?

Israel and the Palestinians are far apart on all the main issues. Palestinians are being trained by Israel and the West to come to talks to get free concessions in return for nothing. Do Israeli leaders have any sense in cooperating with this?

In the last 24 Hours Various assorted PA officials have announced 'No more talks without release of prisoners' 'No more talks without settlement freeze' 'No more talks without stopping the mistreatment of Palestinians' Ive even heard 'No more talks without more pay for Palestinain Workers' So what next No more talks without Coffee Breaks, Siestas, Fiestas, Holiday Cruises? Give US a BREAK We KNOW that buildings going up in the West Bank are subject to transfer to Palestine in a Peace Deal - so whats the issue if they are built today or tomorrow? As for Prisoners - yes we want them released but in a FAIR way that forms part of the final status so that all prisoners may be released at the same time, not some lucky few on an ad hoc and piece meal basis that's great hoopla and 'hullabaloo' for some families - but what about the others!

What about gestures from the other side? Why have peace negotiations when Muslims who submit to Al Shari'iah, The Law of Allah. His Name be praised, are forbidden to make peace with non Muslims. Any Muslim who goes down the path of peace with non Muslims commits an enormity punishable by death.

They are Leftists

Take the Labour leftie-loonies back outside the building and give 'em the mercy bullet.

he will not recognise israel as the jewish state, he will not renounce his demand that all descendants of arab palestinians return to israel, that "east" jerusalem be the capital of his putative state. hence, it is obvious that the jewish state must reject all extortion or blackmail by the arabs and their weak kneed supporters.

Israel need not choose between two hideous abominations. The vast sane patriotic majority should demand no building freezes OR freeing terrorists.

terrorist is your mother! you just a colonialist occupying other people land! what do you expect....flowers!

although in the end Israel will have to release most prisoners..with the exception of those who have committed the most horrible crimes

Exactly what is going to be gained prolonging these negotiations? Talks need to show progress today or building should continue. Under any circumstances, prolonging talks gives the PA a world stage to spread the venom and allowing any of it actually gives them legitimacy. This is not about slow death from the pals due to population growth. There are enough ways to assure nothing like that can happen. Also, Israel needs to take a page from eygpt and other countries and say what you mean and do what you mean. Never have I seen a country allow itself to be abused in so many ways. Proportional responses will doom the country.

How can these hypocriites even begin to associate themselves with labour ideals? Yes, by all means let's stop the insanity of flooding Israel with unrepentent convicted murderers, but why still incur suffering on much of Israel's population in other areas? Families are suffering through lack of available accomodation, thanks to the heartless efforts of labour / left leaning initiatives that would sooner penalise Jews before any other people. Settlers are not a denomic race to be treated in the same way as nazis persecuted other Jews, starting off with denying basic rights. I count myself as a moderate voice, one of a majority of in the Shomron & Judea region of Israel. We are simple Jews living simple lives and look like any other Jews, secular or otherwise. This bogus sympathy for alien causes is more than misplaced, it is downright dishonest and ultimately more damaging for Israel's survival than they could imagine! Please allow the next initiative for regional stablity to actually include sane settlers, who have built better relations with local Arabs than Kerry and the entire left could ever hope to achieve.

on every other murderer release. Now they hypocritically join in when the majority has ALWAYS rightfully stood against releasing murderers.

We do not need to bribe Arabs to negotiate

Basically a good idea imo. OTOH - I want to see a good will gesture or two from the Palestinians as well.

Absolutely nothing.... The peoples may be in tune for peace but the politics won't allow it

Labor's lunacy has already gotten tens of thousands of Israelis maimed and murdered. It's Oslo Disaster alone claimed over 1,500 murdered and 1,4000 maimed. Now Labor seeks to further endanger Israel. Enough is enough. Please Shurat Hadin, and patriotic Israeli lawyers, help Oslo victims sue Labor for criminal negligence.

The right would rather release terrorists than stop stealing land.
