1. Some fools don't know when it's over
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (03.26.14)
why obama ever started this horror show is any ones guess. KEEP BUILDING !!!
2. Obama had his chance to "rescue" these talks ... and blew it
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (03.26.14)
First, he builds up Abbas as one dedicated to peace and building up the institutions of statehood, with not a word of criticism of wayward behavior. Then he sat with him and heard his multiple "No"s to US positions and proposals, and not a word of criticism. Then Abbas and his coterie threaten to "go to the UN" if their demands are not met, and there's not a hint of "consequences" if he does so. So of course there's no incentive for the Palestinians to deviate from their politics of refusal. Obama brought this on himself. And no doubt he's counting on more Israeli concessions to persuade Abbas to continue talking (about the positions he won't budge from) just to maintain the illusion of a "peace process".
3. Do Arabs reject Jewish state,Jewish majority Israel or both?
Sam ,   Canada   (03.26.14)
It's about time the Arabs came clean on just what peace they accept. It's about time Netanyahu,Kerry,Obama and the EU asked them. Do the Arabs object to a Jewish majority Israel? If yes, then they are just looking for Israeli surrender not peace. At some point the diplomats have to stop dealing in general language and get specific.

5. Obama is a busted flush; Down the Toilet
Tarbouche ,   Aswan   (03.26.14)
Nasty Kenyan freak, an imposter from Mombassa. Eutopia for him is a fantasy in Muslim Brotherhood and communist worlds. My fantasy, is that he should be lynched out of the White House and given a send off they gave Gaddafi
6. Fools rush in
Tambour ,   Eilat   (03.26.14)
Haman, Hitler, now Obama assisted by an old hippy. The G-d of Israel, within the Jewish souls does not sleep nor slumber. A fitting end to Obama, as with Haman or Adolf, is to self destruct. I wish him better : a lynch mob for Obama Hussain al Kenee
7. #5. Do not wish him such easy exit
Ali Ahmad al Mombass ,   Mogadissue   (03.26.14)
Prison for the Imposter from Mombassa would be far better; He can then keep Pollard, another US traitor company
8. #4 enough with the questions
(03.26.14)
All the answers are in the PLO Charter PLO rejects Jewish people, Jewish state, Jewish majority and remember, PLO are moderates. They allow Jews living in Israel from 1860 to stay, while Hamas says all Jews must be killed. Now tell me this: why do Obama and Kerry support PLO?
9. arab racism again obvious
Doc Stevens ,   Hubbard USA   (03.26.14)
1. Israel has been the homeland of The Hebrews/Jewish Peoples for centuries before arabs invented islam. 2. Jerusalem is be the capital of Israel. All dangerous muslims must be removed for civilization's safety. 3. muslims must be educated to historical facts: The Romans shipped the arabs to Israel 70AD, trying to stop the Israeli's from returning. Peace arrives once all "palestinians" are returned to their homeland: Cyprus. 4. Again, the obstacles to peace include the racist brainwashing by the arab leaders, and arab ignorance that the muslims infidels don't belong in Israel. It's Judea & Samaria. There is no "west bank" nor "gaza."
10. #8 What counts is not PLO charter but what Pals say today.
Sam ,   Canada   (03.26.14)
Obama and Kerry want to give Palestinians a state because they think naively that will make all their mid-east problems go away. Israel has to stand up for itself and do what is good for itself.
11. United states and Jordan
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn, Holland   (03.26.14)
And where is the constructive role of the United nations organization in this issue?
12. Doesn't he realize the Palis
Reuven   (03.26.14)
simply don't want peace?
13. #8 What counts is not PLO charter but what Pals say today.

14. Wasn't he the one himself
Mira ,   Vienna   (03.26.14)
who said Israel should stop to always demand this same "boring" thing?
15. Waste of time, captain ketchup
(03.26.14)
Can do CPR, Intubation, defibrillation and injections of epinephrine And Still the patient (so-called peace talks) WILL DIE!!! Peace centers on trust, And Israel and Israeli can Not Trust arabs PLAIN AND SIMPLE, why? Any group of people Asking Peace Partners to Release Convicted Murders Are Not Peace Partners!!! These talks have been a Shame since day one! THERE IS NO ONE VOICE FOR arabs!
16. Kerry in Rome
Devorah   (03.26.14)
I would be more concerned about Kerry's repeated trips to Rome and his not-so-secret plans for the vatican to control of the Temple Mount.
17. Why has Kerry got such a flat face?
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (03.26.14)
It's no wonder that Kerry's face is so flat...so many doors have been slammed on it,and it looks like Abbas and the Arab League have smacked it again. You'd think that Kerry would have the sense to withdraw with some sort of dignity while he still has a functioning nose.Obsession has got the better of him. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
18. Kerry in Jordan:
Israeli 2   (03.26.14)
YES! Abbas in Jordan too. This only shows that the Pals belong in Jordan.
19. #1- kerry the windbag
yosef, phd ,   florida - israel   (03.26.14)
Whether kerry is an obsessive moron or a complete egomaniac, he still does the bidding of the worst president in U.S. history. Both of them will wind up in the political garbage dump, once their terms are over - none to soon !!
20. #16
GS ,   Germany   (03.26.14)
Think you mean Mt. Zion instead of Temple Mount. / Rome and esp. Vaticane: Well observed! You're right.
21. Clown Kerry doesn't get it ! LOL
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.26.14)
22. #20 - GS
Devorah   (03.26.14)
Thank you, GS. If the Obama/Kerry/vatican dream comes true, the vatican will control the Temple Mount, Mt. Zion and Mt. Scopus. But for now, Obama and Kerry are pressing for either Mt. Zion or the Temple Mount. Whatever the case, it's very bad.
