1. It's time to tell
John Prophet   (03.31.14)
the Palestinians to go to hell!
2. No Surprise, Peace Talks Fail Again
Jersey Jew ,   Newport Beach, USA   (03.31.14)
Hence, weak Pals only recourse against @50 year incredibly dominant Israel is end-run our highly biased USA 2World including the UN & ICC + BDS+. Israel is much less effective keeping the clock running in an unsustainable status quo. The increased status quo transparency will force our USA to become more aligned with Americans. Why USA has not bombed either Iran or Syria. US support will naturally shift towards the Non-Judaic @50 year dominance over the Pals, albeit still strongly biased towards Israel. Self-inflicted, not smart Israel behaviours ...
3. These peace talks are becoming so boring...
Ivan ,   South Africa   (03.31.14)
4. Jen Psaki - strident affirmative action feminist
Leon   (03.31.14)
America is becoming less than absolute zero, especially in economics, due to affirmative "woman" action (though there's nothing feminine about these women rulers). Jen Psaki, an empty airbag permanently on the rag so to speak, is a prime example of the degradation of the former USA.
5. If this is blackmail...
M. Davison ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (03.31.14)
What should we call his demand to free 1,000 Palestinian terrorists to continue "negotiating" until the end of the year? By now, it should be obvious to the most moronic EU representative (Hello, Baroness Ashton!) and the naivest US president in history (Hello, Mr. Obama!) that the Palestinians never had any intention of making peace. Pick up your marbles and go home, people... and tell the truth about who is to blame for the lack of progress this time!
6. Arabs once again prove they have no desire for peace
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.31.14)
7. 60 killed, 900 injured, since start of talks, why repeat it?
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.31.14)
PA must follow tracks...1..continue talks with Kerry, 2..go to ICC, UNSC, EU, NATO, and BDS all of Israel...to end Apartheid, secure "Right of Return" and establish UNSC '67 NATO borders.
8. Release of prisoners was predicated on progress in talks!
michael redbourn ,   Lisbon Portugal   (03.31.14)
Interesting how such things get omitted from left wing newspapers.
9. #7 Counter offer?
Ram ,   London   (03.31.14)
1. No more talks. 2. Go wherever you desire! 3. Transfer all WB arabs to their rightful home, Jordan. 4. Demand full compensation to 850,000 Jews robbed and deported from arab lands. 5. Expand Israel to secure borders, well away from those who wish to destroy her.
10. Once again the pot calling the kettle black
Joe Fraser ,   Canada   (03.31.14)
Other oldies but goodies: Israel is an apartheid state; The only thing the Israelis understand is force; Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the Palestinians... Oh to laugh... Har har dee har har.
11. @7
Matilde   (03.31.14)
Dont worry, peace talks will continue
12. The moral Palestinians
nibor ,   israel   (03.31.14)
God forbid Blackmail. Kidnapping, murder, well, that's more like it.
13. abu mazen And his Ilk
(03.31.14)
Are Consumate Profesionals AT BLACKMAIL, Like All arabs!!! abu mazen Never Had Any Intentions of peace!!! These SHAME talks were set up to fail before they even begun!!! Bibi Stay Strong, Many Americans are praying for Israel and Israeli's Baruch Ha Shem
14. Making peace with a terrorist in a suit
Lioness ,   Israel   (03.31.14)
Really can Israel make peace with Abbas who was one of the terrorists who planned the Munich and Maalot massacres? If anyone should be in prison it is Abbas himself. Hell would be better!
15. Missing Opportunity
mikeh420 ,   los angeles usa   (03.31.14)
Again, never missing an opportunity to miss an opportunity. Just like Mexico, Arabs started a war and pitifully lost, now they want all that land they lost.
16. Pals going to UN will hasten org demise
GZLives   (03.31.14)
The more they pile on - the ,ore its obvious that the UN has seen its final days. In the next US Presidential election one of the issues will be serious proposal to defund UN and withdraw leaving the organization hanging by a thread
17. To No 7
John   (03.31.14)
Tell Syrians to ask Kerry for some help. I guess you don't count their dead, because you couldn't care less. And it's not about Pals for you, it's about those pesky Jews, right? Don't choke on your venom.
18. Arab Palestinians do not want peace
CJK   (03.31.14)
the arab palestinians want the release of their mass murdering terrorists before going to the icc and asking for a state from the un. what they do not understand is that going to the icc will give them nothing. the arab palestinians do not have a state. even if the icc would violate its own treaty and accept the unga vote as giving the arabs a state, icc jurisdiction would not apply to events before 2014. the un has no legal authority to create states or to determine unilaterally the borders of sovereign states. netanyahu should put a stop to the charade of non-existent peace talks which in fact are various extortions by the obama regime.
19. wake up
milson   (03.31.14)
bibi and lapid are hurting israel by making concessions non stop. if abbas wants to talk, n o concessions no nothing. how does one do a deal with people who have to be bribed aided and abetted by kerry, who has a zero record on ukraine, egypt, iran and syria so far except when he goes to israel and deals with the weak bibi who has transformed himself into livni, olmert and barak with his concessions. What are you a shmuck? you're afraid of lack of US support?? USA is reeling with its defense cuts so needs israel more than ever. Sissi tells kerry not to visit, lavrov says No and yet bibi sweats and offers now a new 426 prisoners and partial settlement freeze-what a weak jew. Danon- lead a revolt to throw out bibi. Livni will suffer a similar fate to olmert not in the legal but in another way,e ither separation, ill health or other family problems. She has been in cahoots with sharon and olmert in harming israel not only in her term but in subsequent terms. israel must find a way to boot out bibi as he is just incredibly fearful and weak.
20. PAL rejection
Alan ,   ohio   (03.31.14)
Too bad....so you have blown up the peace talks...no surprise. Hope you start another intifada so that IDF can kick your asses back to Jordan/Palestine. Perhaps you will want instead to go to Syria or Lebanon where life will be much much better, eh???? No you say...better to keep on the UN money machine.
21. Its Over. Arab Stubbornness Wins Again.
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (03.31.14)
The Arabs forget that in 1967 they viciously attacked Israel - and lost. They lost the war, they lost the land. What right do they have to demand anything? Israel has every right to defend herself and her population, and the Arabs, if they want to cooperate, can join peacefully and democratically in that effort. They can live here in peace and harmony, but not at the expense of belligerence and violence. They can prosper and thrive, they can develop and be successful. But, they have to agree to allow the Jews to live anywhere they want and build cities and industrial parks, fields and synagogues. Let us build the country in peace, and you can have a wonderful life.
22. Still trying to understand what Israel is getting out of it?
Alex ,   New York, US   (03.31.14)
23. Inside is out and outside is in:
Robert Haymond ,   Teko'a, Israel   (03.31.14)
Abbas' rhetoric predicated on an obfuscated form of logic. We are blackmailing them by insisting that prisoners be released only by a commitment to extend peace talks whereas he has nothing to say about why we are beholden to release any prisoners at all. This is just as well. Will an increasing number of MKs see what's going on and refuse to continue with this fiasco called "peace talks"?
24. I Told You So!
emanon ,   USA   (03.31.14)
25. Reply @8
Matilde   (03.31.14)
forgive my curiosity, is ynet a left wing news? ...im upset
26. Wait a minute @5
Matilde   (03.31.14)
Mr Netanyahu proposed to Abbas to release 420 prisoners chosen by Israel????
27. 7 Are you a Palestinian or a self hating leftist Jew?
robert ,   Antwerpen (2018)   (03.31.14)
28. Offer them......
Gideon Reader   (03.31.14)
...BUPKIS!! With a side order of Strachkarei.
29. To #4
Gideon Reader   (03.31.14)
How dare you call Jen Psaki, aka: the "Red Rat", spokesbimbo the former Obama/Democrat party an affirmative action empty airbag. She certainly is incompetent and unerringly wrong on every single issue, but she in NOT empty. She is definitely full of "it". (I am not alluding to "information technology").
30. Release the prisoners to Kerry , for release @ deal or hell
r ,   USA   (03.31.14)
freezes over.
