1. state dept declines to be identified
Jhan   (09.01.14)
Really? So it's just gossip then, something for journo-shmournos to fill their empty minds and worthless websites with.
2. Syrians are killing each other, Iraqis are killing each
A ,   Belgium   (09.01.14)
other, ISIS will kill who ever is left and Putin is slowly taking over Ukraine but THIS is priority to the Oblabla administration. Now that the gaza operation is over, the knives are being sharpened to stick in ISrael's back again.How pathetic! And Kerry wants to form a coalition, he couldn't run a nursery school.
3. the next war
Michael ,   Haifa   (09.01.14)
Netanyahu is seeking every possible way to ensure another round of war for Israelis. On the other hand, it may be the Israelis themselves, who seek the war, by keeping Netanyahu and his ilk in power.
4. So Bombama has a plan to rebuke Israel but no ISIS plan
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.01.14)
5. High priority
Jerusalem   (09.01.14)
Israel needs to make public all information on Jewish owned lands and property that were relinquished for a variety of different reasons in Arab countries. Claims have been made but no specifics have been given. It needs to be widely publicized now. Do not delay on this. The State Comptroller may be the point of contact. This is of the last pieces of information needed to make a final determination.
6. U.S. - the original and first setllers !
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (09.01.14)
7. Shame
Emma ,   Israel   (09.01.14)
And what Will the US do this time? Nothing,as usual...
8. Let's settle this man-to-man: on the golf course
DvorahTheProphetess ,   SC, USA   (09.01.14)
Obama invites Bibi and Hamas to a Golf-Off in Scottsdale, Arizona. They can golf their brains out while being attended to by ILLEGAL Mexican ball-boyz.
9. Kerry/boss are getting that" hate Israel" feeling again
Alan ,   SA   (09.01.14)
10. PROOF THAT LIBERALS LOVE WAR
CARLO   (09.01.14)
THE CONSESUS OF 88.2% OF ISRAELIS IS THAT GUSH ETZION IS PART OF ISRAEL. THIS PROOVS THAT THE LIBERALS , ARABA, & THE US WANT TO DESTROY ISRAEL; NOT MAKE PEACE!!
11. If idiots were able to fly they would be in orbit
Michel ,   Ashkelon   (09.01.14)
What a distress! What about the land seized by the islamic state, and their aim to conquer the world ?
12. NEWSFLASH: U.S.A to give Sioux nation back South Dakotaa
Jonathan ,   New Zealand   (09.01.14)
Kerry says social justice and common sense has prevailed - nuclear weapons will form part of the deal. Kerry hopes the Sioux first nation people will forgive & not nuke Washington D.C. The man in the beige suit was not available to comment - he was playing golf at the time of the announcement.
13. To Emma, Israel (09.01.14), at nr. 7
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   HOORN   (09.01.14)
Right, also present, entire Jerusalem and for example Samaria and Judea all belong to Israel. MAY G.D ALSO BLESS ISRAEL!
14. Mind your business John Kerry-some friend with friends like
Dina   (09.01.14)
You who needs enemies. If you want blood, go home and eat ketchup. Your heiress wife has plenty of it.
15. Whats the problem..
Beary White ,   Norway   (09.01.14)
.. the area belong to Israel. Kerry and Abu mazen must turn to Jordan, where the country was made especially for islamic-cult-followers. There will never be a new black September, like in -72, cause most of the Jordan population is pal./arabs.
16. Two state solution
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.01.14)
The "palestinians" could have had their own state in 1947. They chose to go to war instead. They lost. Started five more wars, and lost all five. The Arab loss in 1967 resulted in Israel's re-acquisition of Judea and Samaria. Territorial losses are part and parcel of war, and the aggressor who loses has not right to anything. It's over for the "palestinians." Israel is not going to relinquish Judea and Samaria -- the Jewish heartland -- and the "palestinians" will just have to make do with Gaza. It is far more than they deserve. And if they get any funky ideas involving missiles and mortars, they're going to lose Gaza, too.
17. Strange theres's no mention of west or east Jerusalem
BUILD BY BUILD !!!!   (09.01.14)
in the Torah or the Koran just in obama's newly written play book furnished by Arab "preacher" Jeremiah Wright. Long before and long after obama the Arab was born Jerusalem is one city, one Jewish city. obama should stick to playing golf what he doesn't know about is Israel is his real handicap. KEEP BUILDING BABY !!!!!
18. # 3 Michael funny that only Hamas threatens another war.
BUILD BY BUILD !!!!   (09.01.14)
Like Gaza hasn't had its share of destruction already. Bring it on suckers!!!
19. Is he serious?
Moshe   (09.01.14)
They're still talking about a 2 state solution in tiny Israel? Hey Obama and Kerry, it's so nice of you be so generous on someone else's properties. However, let's start by sharing 1/2 of only California with Arabs?
20. it looks like there is 3 states solution in the air
wise ,   eu   (09.01.14)
israel "palestina" and usa ... i just dont remember from when is the USA in the middle ?? world is turning to teroristic garbage and usa cares about few houses in israel , this must be a joke israel is jewish states, not palestinian, not gazan , not arabs and not usa ! so usa should give back the land to indians ...
21. It must be very painful
paulD ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.01.14)
for the degenerate world to see Jews act in their justified self-interest. The pain that reeks from their pores when they see their plans, to corner Jews into another holocaust, is not going as planned. When they see that all the hope and money they poured into the Left-Fake-Human-Rights organizations, unable to break Jews into shame and retreat, they can't sleep, the air in their lungs become lead. You have to pity them, not curse fools like what has become of the once great American Leadership.
22. Obama, destroy ISIS in Sinai, Syria, Iraq
CJK   (09.01.14)
the only threat to the united states comes from murderous barbaric salafists like isis and al qaeda. yet obama has no startaegy to deal with that threat just as he has no real strategy to deal with iran's nuclear weapons program. obama only bullies the tiny jewish state which is surrounded by isis, al qaeda, hamas and hezbollah.
23. makes no sense
(09.01.14)
What peace talks does Obama think are jeopardized by this move? Just two weeks ago, Obama made it clear that Abbas is a nobody when he recognized Hamas as a legitimate representative of the Arabs despite (or because) their desire for genocide.
24. Israel land
Ralf ,   Paris   (09.01.14)
Anyway what Israel may decide it wont never be approved by anycountry. But what about if Israel decides to commit suicide?
25. #3
rina   (09.01.14)
Netanyahu lost the election for your information. Israelis love life and peace! You're living in Haifa and you dare to speak as you do? Longing for mother Russia or Ukraine?
26. #13 Thank you Sjoerd
Rina   (09.01.14)
May the G-d of Israel bless you too.
27. Stop the occupation!!
Rina   (09.01.14)
of Arabs on Jewish Land. C'mon! everybody knows Israel is the Jewish People's homeland. The G-d of Israel proclaimed it thousands of years ago. The Nations voted in favor of it. The Jewish people are here now to stay! Judea and Samaria is Jewish land! Stop the Arab occupation!
28. 988 acre seizure is just compensation for Gaza rocket damage
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego, USA   (09.01.14)
And note that the State Department "rebuke" is from the same US State Department that didn't think it needed to condemn the Hamas mortar fire that killed a 4 year-old Israeli child. There is no reason for Israel to hold back on settlements when the PA continues to refuseto recognize the Jewish State next door. Note that Obama never uses his "two states for two peoples" anymore. Why" Because Abbas doesn't like it - it implies Jewish State/Arab State.
29. The Land of Israel
Brod ,   USA   (09.01.14)
The title of this report is wrong. It is not the US that is against Israel. It is Obama the Islamist and Kerry the Papist Anti-Semites that are barking at Israel for living in their own Land of Israel. The fact is the American people and Congress-the USA support Israel. It is time Kerry makes an effort to know the history of Israel and not be fed by the lies of the Islamist-Jihadist world that is trying to usurp the Land of Israel. Judea and Samaria, which the Anti-Semites call West Bank, belong to Israel since ancient time-4000 years ago. In 1967, Israel liberated its Historic and Biblical Homeland of Judea and Samaria from Arab Islamist-Jihadist occupation. Israel has every right to live, thrive and develop their GOD-GIVEN and GOD-RESTORED Land of Israel no matter the venom of the Anti-Semite world that is controlled by Satan. Kerry and Obama, the Dhimmi and Islamist-Jihadist world have no right meddling in internal affairs of the Land of Israel.
30. Nr.3.Do you really mean that -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (09.01.14)
