1. Israel ought to resolt to Plan B, as proposed by Mr Naphtali
N.L.Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.02.14)
Bennett, or alternatively by Mr. Michael Oren, Amos Yadlin and/or Yoaz Handle. Or, be more radical in its approach and implement without a delay Caroline Glick's approach of incorporating the disputed territories into the sovereign state of Israel. All of these options would be standing on solid legal and moral grounds, incidentally.
2. Pal propaganda runs circles around Israel.
SG ,   Teaneck   (04.02.14)
"Pals want Kerry to succeed" (in extracting Israeli concessions, e.g. terrorist prisoner releases, settlement freezes, etc.) w/o any concessions on their part. Neverthess, the statement has a nice, reasonable ring to it and plays well in the press. Pals want peace; Israel doesn't. The propaganda war is like any other war. Lose and you lose the State of Israel eventually. Very sad.
3. But they don't want it to succeed either.(end)
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (04.02.14)
4. Geneva Conventions Work Both Ways
emanon ,   USA   (04.02.14)
Geneva Conventions paves the way for arabs to be held accountable for acts like Perlman execution, Fogel family execution, use of Human Shields, Sabaro Pizza bombing and other incidents too numerous to mention.
5. They want Kerrys Idiocy to continue !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (04.02.14)
Of cause - they have got som of their Terrorist released. Israel should wait untill the Pals come and want to talk by themselves, recognising Israel as a Jewish state, and negotiate without Demands and Conditions. Without that they dont want Peace. Their several decade long struggle has achieved nothing, and will achieve nothing more that further Usefull Idiocy as hithereto. They risk loosing everything but, let them come to that conclusion themselves. Let them be out in the Cold. Arn.
6. Abbas has played his joker card to see if it wins the trick
(04.02.14)
Abbas played his joker early ignoring the agreement he signed not to pursue UN until the negotiations expired. Now he had taken the decision against piece negotiations and all prisoner releases. All other bets are off the table whilst his joker is in play.
7. Kerry have it his best shot but....
(04.02.14)
Unless the tasks were substantive face to face and not about more concessions and further sweetners to engage in talks it was always going nowhere. Anyhow greater dangers are lurking so the Palestinian issue can resume is rightful place behind Syria and Iran.
8. ICC or Nobel Peace Prize
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (04.02.14)
Time to choose.
9. "We don't want Kerry mission to fail"
(04.02.14)
Of course they don't. Israel releases terrorist murderers, Netanyahu maneuvers to get Dayan and Bennet to quit the government, Kerry and Obama give American money to Abbas while cursing Israel, and all Abbas has to do is stand firm with his declaration that he intends to destroy Israel. What's not to like?
10. #1 Excellent point.
Harry ,   Phil, PA USA   (04.02.14)
11. BS
yossi ,   TLV   (04.02.14)
12. I want to become Israeli
Ibrahim Aseel ,   Ramallah   (04.02.14)
Israelis dont trust Abbas. All we Palestinians want to become Israelis and be 40% of your population. One State NOW!. There is no such a thing as Palestinian. We are desperate to get the betuach leumi and make our presence feel in your streets, your lovely beaches and parks. I want to be Israeli.
13. The government of Israel ought at this point to begin annex
NLK ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.02.14)
all of Area C and make the preparations to possibly annex the rest of the territories in dispute. Obviously, the leadership that we though was interested in peace fooled us and the rest of the world. It is not interested in an accommodation of peaceful coexistence between Arab and Jew, between the Muslim-Arab world, local and regional alike, and the liberal democratic and sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people. Hence, we need to do what is best for us, and we ought to do so now.
14. Practice makes perfect...
Susan ,   U.S   (04.02.14)
"We don't want Kerry mission to fail." However while speaking from left hand corner of his mouth (Abu Mazen) was completing paperwork for UN. "All deception in the course of life is indeed nothing else but a lie reduced to practice, and falsehood passing from words into things." Robert Southey "Palestinians wish to live side by side in Peace with Israel." (The country which according to them is not a Jewish State) "There will not be peace in the ME until Palestinians have statehood." (Blame it on the Jews..LOL) Last but tragically not least, "Palestine must be contiguous and not resemble Swiss Cheese." Three quotes from the prior US administration, hellbent exactly like this one to give Pals statehood at any and all costs. Around and round we go, where we stop(EVERYONE KNOWS!!) However, we'll pretend the wheel stops at that phony peace just perfect for photo-ops and other such BS.
15. Every Palestinian spokesman says something different
(04.02.14)
Abbas says one thing and does another, Haniyeh and Hamas say something else, Abed Rabbo another. That's why negotiation is a waste of time because nothing can be relied upon and nothing progressed as it's a case of day many things and do something completely different. Actions and words are completely opposite with Palestinians
16. #12 I also agree, 1-State now!
Lynx ,   Palestine   (04.02.14)
The PA's ratification of the anti-Apartheid international conventions is a good step towards the single pluralist state of Palestine/Israel. Long live Palestine/Israel - Long live the idiocy of the Zionist settlements movement!
17. We don't want Kerry mission to fail
mat ,   uk   (04.02.14)
as long as we get all what we ask. in return for nothing from our side. that is what we are used to
18. #1. The Israeli Solution is THE PLAN
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (04.02.14)
The Israeli Solution is THE PLAN Under Caroline Glicks' The Israeli Solution , Israel can safeguard our destiny Identity security and future , create the decent living conditions for Arabs who want to be part of it, reject hate so opt for a better life, health, Jobs, education, and economic security Israel can achieve economic and political independence from USA , be the force for good in the region, aim for continued human advances.In Water, Food, Energy
19. AP CALLS GILO HOOD A "SETTLEMENT"
JERSEYJEW ,   NJUSA   (04.02.14)
20. #14 Irrelevant suggestion
Nora tel Aviv   (04.02.14)
You suggest an Israel with 40% Arab population? Are you serious? Do you know what a time bomb it will be for the future of Israel? Do you know what a Trojan Horse you are suggesting? Of course you know. Of course Israeli Jews know it too. So, better drop this suggestion.
21. #12 Ibrahim
Son of Cyrus   (04.02.14)
Dear Ibrahim, I am sure you will be welcome like any other person as long as you behave yourself and do no not get involved in any illegal or subversive activities! The real issue is the control of borders and security. The PA is incapable of doing that. They cannot even control Hamas let alone anybody else!
22. Choices..useless Nobel Peace Prize, or repatriation to Mecca
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (04.02.14)
Obama the Muslim already got his prize.
23. Gilo a settlement?????
Yanish ,   Jerusalem   (04.02.14)
" Gilo, an Israeli settlement in east Jerusalem, said Hagit Ofran of Peace Now." Gilo.... a settlement? I just love that. Gilo is now a huge neighborhood, an absolutely integral part of Jerusalem where tens of thousands of people live. Id' like to know where Hagit Ofran lives. I'll bet you any amount of money that her house or apt. is on "Arab Land" - stolen, of course, by those horrible Jews in the war of 1948. After all, we all know that ALL of Israel was stolen from the Arabs in 1948 - wasn't it?? The West Bank/Judea-Samaria was never "Palestine" since there never was a sovereign Palestinian state - only a section of the Ottoman Empire. Nor was it ever Jordan. And since the Arabs started yet another war in 1967 which they lost, the West Bank , the heart of Biblical Israel, is now exactly where it should be - back n Jewish hands. Cheers!
24. REFERENDUM
Ed ,   Crimea, Russia   (04.02.14)
Stop useless negotiation.You guys in so to say "settlements" need only referendum to joint Israel. We did it in Crimea and it works very well. #2 A joint all Arabs settlements to so to say PA and wish them best of luck in UN, wealth and prosperity.
25. Stop useless negotiation.You guys in so to say "settlements"
Ed ,   Crimea, Russia   (04.02.14)

26. To: No. 16
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.02.14)
You will never be a part of the State of Israel. You have spent the better part of a century proving that you are despicable people. Sorry, but there's too much history. You'll have to settle for Jordan. Or Gaza. But Israel? NEVER!
27. #12 And I want to go to Mars
TaylorT ,   TrailerTrash   (04.02.14)
28. I agreecthe Geneva conventions work both ways,
Erin ,   USA   (04.02.14)
But also in those Geneva conventions are talks to protect the earth and not undermine it. Also in these talks are people who are insensitive to the needs of the Palestinian people ( and I'm not talking about Erekat or Livni) who need to be protected from real estate developers and natural resource magnates-here in the US, and I'm not saying Sec'y of State Kerry advocates for any pillaging of either side, but he works for an agency heavily influenced by the Koch brothers, or KochPac, and he might be desensitized to how hard it is to live on either side of the Palestinian"Israeli border because of the pressure he receives; you know, my desire is for both sides to live happily, peacefully together in harmony, and this means being protected from being forced into becoming welfare recipients but instead living strong on the ground uder their feet. So the Koch bros don't own 42% of me because I'm dust, and I am owned by Someone else; this someone else loves the groynd, the air, the birds, the fields and seas, and every living thing Elohim has ever made. He loves them as much as Father has ever Loved them and he was never party to an oil spill, a chemical leak, or a disparaging remark of another-Just as G_d isn't. We can't call ourselves Jews and not take care of the earth with the utmost respect, we simply can't. I know we are working on it, but my concern is that Palestine be able to negotiate this peace treaty for itself without the influence of SuperPacs, and my desire is for Israel to show them the way.
29. To: N.L. Katz at No. 1
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.02.14)
Incorporate (i.e., annex) the disputed territories into Israel, yes. Offer the Jordanian citizens residing in the disputed territories Israeli citizenship? No, no, and once again no. What they have proven beyond any shadow of a doubt over a very long period of time is that they cannot be trusted. They will never make good Israelis. They are Jordanian citizens and must be repatriated to Jordan. Do you remember what happened to nearly one million Jews living in Arab and Moslem countries in 1948? Do we owe the "Palestinians" -- who have been violent and terrorism-driven, which cannot be said of the Jewish communities which resided in Arab and Moslem lands -- anything other? I don't think so.
30. All setelments need referendum to joint Israel like we did
Ed ,   Crimea, Russia   (04.02.14)
in Crimea and it works very well. #2 A joint all Arabs settlements to so to say PA and wish them best of luck in UN, wealth and prosperity.
