1. No agreement on process nor fundamental issues.
Sam ,   Canada   (04.03.14)
We know quite well what the positions on the fundamental issues are. Israel and the Palestinians are nowhere near agreement.So, unless talking keeps the Palestinians away from violence talking is useless. It's time everybody stopped pretending or dreaming that there is a peace process.
2. Israel made an enormous mistake releasing mass murderers
CJK   (04.03.14)
yielding to the obama regime's naked extortion only emboldened the arabs who for some reason think that they are the center of the universe.
3. Israel X prisoners release so Abbas heads to the UN
lydia ,   Brisbane   (04.03.14)
The Palestinians should stick to Israels UNILATERALLY declared borders until Israel complies with ALL its self imposed obligations to the Palestinian recognition of the 1967 borders
4. Tzipi looks so disappointed
Israeli 2   (04.03.14)
There is NO prisoner release!
5. Peace Process
max ,   washington dc   (04.03.14)
It appears the Peace Process has hit a stone wall with Abbas seriously violating the promises he made not to take unilateral action. His demands to release murderers and now trying to establish a state with International approval may lead to short term approvals from his supporters but not to a State.
6. cancel release?
(04.03.14)
What about rearresting all the POS that have already been released?
7. Thank God, this evil deal with the devil has been scuppered
Jake   (04.03.14)
8. What Israel should do ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.03.14)
.... is re-arrest the ones already released in this latest exercise in futility. Abbas can take it to the United Nations.
9. Let the games begin, advantage PA, Israel is deligitimizing
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (04.03.14)
...itself by not sticking to their deals, again and again.
10. Me, Stupid?
Hertzel ,   Tveria   (04.03.14)
Can someone PLEASE explain to me WHY our gov. is paying the very high price of releasing convicted killers that will kill jews again, just so these ninkapfoos will sit and talk to us about giving them a state??? I simply dont understand this point....

12. The sham is finally revealed what more
Michael   (04.03.14)
will it take for the left to see they are chasing a mirage in the desert sands?
13. A new way to free Pollard
Lemmings Hotline ,   sd usa   (04.03.14)
The US probably wants to release Pollard, but it doesnt want him to become and Israeli national hero. Therefore I propose to release him on condition that he doesnt leave the US and maintains an alternate identity. If he violates this condition, he goes back to jail.
14. Livni..NO Release...BLACKMAIL to the FULLEST...
Hamad ,   Tulkarm -Palestine   (04.03.14)
Israel's use of the Prisoners to Get Abbas to agree..is ALL BLACKMAIL.. It is a Distraction from the real problems the Palestinians face... The entire Palestinian Population in the West bank..and Gaza is LIVING in a PRISON..... Things will not last like this..The whole Population will eventually rise..and then. the situation will get out of control...NO BiBi.. Livni. .Avigdor..or Yaalon can control.. Enjoy the calm and BS while it lasts..
15. 8 months of negotiation ends in 60 minutes of Insults
John Garner   (04.03.14)
Palestinians seemingly just looking for concessions , and more concessions, and in return give Israel UN unilateral track.
16. Can't keep on rewarding a spoilt child if it misbehaves
(04.03.14)
Simply that abu mazen didn't keep his end of the bargain. He destroyed his negotiating credibility in one pen stroke.
17. Enough is enough!
John Prophet   (04.03.14)
Israel’s unilateral concessions and idle threats against Iran (which no one believes anymore) have been nothing but a slippery slope for Israel. It’s now time for Israel to take some tough measures to keep from sliding into the abyss. 1. Annex Judea, Samaria 2. Take out Hamas and Hezbollah. There is no status quo now for Israel. Time to show the world enough is enough!
18. Take your ball and go home.
Gideon Reader   (04.03.14)
Problem is the alleged palestinians want to take their ball and go to someone elses home, claiming it is theirs. Poor "Lurch". No wonder he is looking so long faced. John. Enough with the botox. You are looking like Joan Rivers illegitimate kid, as of an encounter with a Sea Bass..
19. threats to take Jews to ICC by Erekat
zionqueenie   (04.04.14)
Ekerat wants to go after Jews in Israel as war criminals- fine, lets arrest Abbas now for the financing of the murder of 11 Jews at the Munich games- drag him into prison and then put him in a GLASS BOOTH and try him for his crimes against humanity. Two can play this game.
20. #10, Hertzel, I am as stupid as you...the
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (04.04.14)
only explanation is the relentless US pressure directed against Israel...Israels "greatest" ally is also it's biggest BULLY !
21. #14 Hamad
#14 Hamad ,   Mordechai P.   (04.04.14)
You "Palestinians" have been rioting, murdering, exploding bombs, slitting throats, shooting up buses, stoning babies, and using sledge hammers on the heads of sleeping Holocaust survivors for as long as I am alive--indeed for at least 66 years. Sorry, Hamad, you're wrong--we know how to deal with rioting Arabs. Some of you will be shot, many wounded, of course lots will win up in jail, but many more will be on a one-way bus ride across the Jordan River where your ancestors came from. You could have had your state in 1937, and of course in 1948--BTW, legally, under the international laws you love to quote but routinely flout, ALL of formerly Mandatory Palestine, technically even Transjordan, belongs to the Jews. And frankly, your own Koran promises it to the Jews! So if you can't abide living in the prison you write about that your own people through stupid choices have created for themselves, then be my guest and leave--it's not that there aren't 22 Arab states you can readily call home. Israel is, was, and always will be the one and only Jewish State in the World.
22. 4 , Israeli 2
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (04.04.14)
I think that she finally realized that she was wrong to be ready to give something . They can only take , but not give . I think that more and more Israelis , who were ready to make concessions , changed their mind . The same after the 2000 propositions by Ehud Barak , when they also rejected his generous ideas .
23. #14 Hamad
Michael ,   Kokhav Yair, Israel   (04.04.14)
You are in a prison of your own making. Everytime you ARABS get a chance you foolishly throw it away. We build, we build. We are Zionists. Go home Arab, back to Saudi Arabia and Mecca. Jerusalem is ours.
24. #21 Mordecahi..I said EVENTUALLY This...Enjoy the CALM(end)
Hamad ,   Tulkarm -Palestine   (04.04.14)
25. hamad 14 . In a prison ?
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (04.05.14)
They can all leave this "prison" , something almost impossible in a TRUE prison . They caused their "problems" by themselves . If not their murderous attacks on innocent Israeli civilians in buses , restaurants and so on , they would not have any of those "problems" . They are FREE to leave .
