1. Peace talks are dead. Bury the thought
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (04.11.14)
Enough ; The idea is dead; bury it Never had a chance in Hell. Islam wants to conquer the would. Saud and Ibn Abdl Azziz started ball rolling; Husseini, Qutb, Arafat, and now ABBAS and Arab league carry this on with support from Obama and EU to complete their respective agendas.
2. The Erakat Art of Back Pedalling
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (04.11.14)
Problem However hard he tries the Back Pedal Routine....it cant stop the momentum forward Because anybody following the negotiations KNOWS that the differences have narrowed dramatically The position so far We base the territorial definition of Palestine based on LAND AREA - equivalent to or greater than Pre 67 with options to purchase more land from Israel and Jordan We trade every 1 unit of land released from J&S for 2 up to 3 elsewhere Ramallah our State Capital and Jerusalem AlQuds the Spiritual Capital based on parts of East Jerusalem Palestinian Refugees to be awarded compensation for 1. Loss of Property 2. Settlement in Palestine Release of Prisoners to start with immediate effect but staggered for a weekly release and accelerating in numbers as the talks reach their conclusion Joint Israel Palestine and Jordan Mutual Security arrangements Palestine to recognise Israel as a Democratic State with its historic mandate to grant refuge to Jews from all over the world Israel to recognise Palestine as a Democratic State with its historic mandate to grant refuge to Palestinians from all over the world Israeli Citizens in Palestinian Territory will not be granted automatic Palestinian Citizenship., This will only be granted to Palestinian Refugees in the Diaspora and Israeli Arabs of Palestinian descent Yes there are many other issues from water supply to rail, road connectivity to airports, trade...but all these matters are by and large already resolved So can Erekat tell me WHATS LEFT

MadDad ,   JHB   (04.11.14)
What negotiations? Israel created the palastinian nation.
4. Now, that the extortionist gang in Ramallah manged to break
N.L.Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.11.14)
up the talks by unilaterally applying to some 15 different international treaties, contrary to the terms of reference of the talks, Israel ought to react in a constructive way: Begin to incorporate Area C into the sovereign nation-state of Israel. Such a move, while best done in cooperation with the Arabs of the country, is very much grounded in international law which as early as 1920 assigned the whole area from the Jordan River to the Med. Sea to be the national home of the Jewish people, i.e. the Jewish people's nation-state. This legal act was then reiterated in 1922 and finally adopted by the UN and etched into its Charter, 1945. Of particular interest is the fact that the late Mr. Yitzhaq Rabin's vision of peace was precisely along the very same lines. This can be examined by reading Rabin's speech at the Knesset, 5 Oct. 1995; his last one at the house and as if it was meant to be his political will. I hope even the Obama/Kerry duo will have the humility to read and appreciate the fact that Rabin knew a thing or two about the region in general and about the Arab Israeli conflict in particular, something that they simply don't posses, despite the arrogance demonstrated so far.
5. #1 they are not
(04.11.14)
Why do you think Netanyahu ordered police forces to brutalize Yitzhar? Netanyahu is begging Abbas to give him something, anything so he won't appear like a total loser when the talks for Israel's surrender continue. Netanyahu's problem is that Abbas holds him in such contempt that he won't give Netanyahu anything.
6. Al Arabiya lies like Arabs always do. US denies everything
