1. How will your admiration to John benefit us?
Lynx ,   Palestine   (04.05.14)
You have failed, and abysmally. The US monopolization of the political process since 1991 has only served to stifle any real progress and has in fact served the occupation through the maintenance of the status quo. But no more, Palestine is now a state and can defend itself through the appropriate means. Just lay off.
2. Nothing but admiration
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (04.05.14)
Failure is so becoming obama has made it into an art form. KEEPING BUSY BUILDING.!! except on Sabbath.
3. Why is it IL fault when IL wanted talks to CONTINUE?
Alan ,   SA   (04.05.14)
4. Surprise!
Johannes ,   Norway   (04.05.14)
I bet the evil one in the WH has "something else" for Israel that he will come up with!
5. Great effort Mission Exacting
Zechariah   (04.05.14)
Both Jews and Arabs Claim Eretz Yisroel so you have a Great Problem .Only a Messianic utopia can solve the conflict namely the Vision of Isiaiah the most Beloved Prophet .Realism allows approximations far from the Utopia but possibly Functional.
6. and so The Fat Lady starts to sing.....finally! Yeah!!!

7. this farce must stop
CJK   (04.05.14)
netanyahu must not agree to the release of any more arab palestinian terrorists. asking israel to release convicted mass murdering terrorists is absolutely immoral and will remain a stain on obama's legacy.
8. The Obama/Kerry duo took this undertaking, arrogantly,
N.L.Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.05.14)
without knowledge of the essence of the Arab Israeli conflict; understanding it; experience and expertise dealing with it. They went into it together equipped only with their arrogance and the tools provided them in the form of the theories of the likes of the Rev. J. Wright of Chicago, and Profs. E. Said and R. Khalidi of New York. If the two ever want to return to this undertaking they ought to know that the essence of the conflict is the categorical objection by the Muslim-Arabs, local and regional, to accept Israel's RIGHT to be, to exist as the sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people on ANY parcel of land of this people's ancestral homeland. The fundamental way to resolve it is not dealing with the symptoms of the conflict but rather with the legality of it, the basis of which are the San Remo conference decisions, 1920; League of Nations decisions. .1922; and UN Charter, article 80, 1945. And, finally, they should read carefully Yitzhaq Rabin's speech at the Knesset on 5 Oct. 1995 and take good notes of it...!!
9. Kudos from obama...
yosef, phd ,   florida - israel   (04.05.14)
to his loyal servant kerry - there ain't nothing quite like a big moron praising a little moron, who was appointed to his position in order not to contradict or overshadow the imperial aspirations of of the least qualified pres. in the history of the U.S. Perhaps both could have learned a lesson, but that would also be against the moronic principles, by which the entire recent foreign policy was guided.
10. #1 Palestine a state in your dreams only
Benji ,   US   (04.05.14)
A dustbin of humanity. Staged poverty, unemployment and dependence. Abbas and Hamas leadership have perpetuated the philosophy of Arafat while funding their retirement plans. Palestinians were given every opportunity to succeed. You have nothing to defend aside from decades of mistakes.
11. So, now it's One State
Makina ,   New York, USA   (04.06.14)
There is no question any longer that there is no way to "divide" the land. It will be ONE state for all, from the Jordan to the Sea. And ALL the Palestinians must return, and settle wherever they choose. Fair is fair, now that it's the only solution, and the Jews have nobody to blame but themselves and their own greed, swallowing up the entire West Bank. Feh!! They should reclaim their property just like Jews have pressed to do since WWII relentlessly. Fair is fair. ENOUGH...!!!!
12. Obama- the "Nobel" failure
Yardena   (04.06.14)
It’s hard to think of a president that has been more of an Epic Failure than President Obama. Even Carter is glad this guy came along, so at least he knows he is no longer the worst president ever.
