1. Tell the truth.
Shlomo Kamra   (11.26.09)
Why doesn't Israel just come out, and tell the world that it will take/steal as much land as it is allowed to, and build whatever it wants on it, and Pallestine can pick up any crumbs that Israel does not want. Telling lies and half-truths only cements what the world thinks of Israel and jews anyway. The backlash against jews and Israel will be massive, and they don't have many friends to begin with. Free Gaza, Free Palestine, and may East Jerusalem be their capital forever.
2. well, this is what the babies were crying for
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (11.26.09)
you give the palestinians what they complain about not having and then they dismiss it as meaningless. it's hard to imagine they can be bigger idiots than they already are, but they never cease to exceed even the lowest expectations.
3. PA and Israel
George Abruzzese ,   Bohemia, NY USA   (11.26.09)
It staggers my imagination that the PA is now requiring unacceptable conditions to be met before negotiations can resume. The 67 borders and the gifting of Jerusalem to the PA are non-starters. The PA knows this and really wants a war of attrition against Israel using the right of return to out populate the Jews and take over the land known as Israel.
4. hamas&fatah feel the only 1 that needs 2 compromise israel
Galut ,   Selah   (11.26.09)
and hamas and fatah don't have to.... ONE SIDED NEGOTOATIONS WITH THEM WINNING EVERY POINT...
5. Halt
Walid ,   Dearbon US   (11.26.09)
During the 10 months of no new construction Israel can focus on increasing developments in the Galilee & Negev which needs more attention and will help those areas. The PA & Hamas will do nothing but criticize and take no step toward peace. After 10 months Samaria and Judea will experience a large building blossom

9. DECEPTION OF PEACE!!!
al mann ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.26.09)
The PLO has never wanted peace. It only wants to see the Israeli people destroyed. The PLO wants territory. The illusion of peace occurs when the PLO must get rearmed while accusing Israel of irrational, meaningless acts. The sons of Ishmael will never make peace. They are the necessary evil which demonstrates the meaning of true peace/
10. Halting construction in Jerusalem was never demanded before.
rebecca ,   Modiin   (11.26.09)
Jerusalem cannot be considered a "settlement". It's an ancient city that Jews have always lived in. The PA is moving their "red lines" because Obama has told them they can.
11. Give them an inch and they demand a thousand kilometres.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.26.09)
ANYTHING they are offered will not be enough as the only role they know how to play is VICTIM. NOT neighbor, NOT peace partner, NOT anything but VICTIM.
12. Bibi smoke screen.
ezra ,   TA   (11.26.09)
everybody in the world knows that this government doesnt want peace and nobody will be tricked by this very poor smoke screen
13. #2 what are you talking about
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (11.26.09)
You call the Arabs idiots, but they just got Netanyahu to destroy the Jews and not only did they not have to sign a piece of paper, they can even say that it is meaningless. I think that if there is an idiot here, it is certainly not the Arabs.
14. Abed Rabbo means the slave of his master
Dov ,   Jerusalem   (11.26.09)
one more barking dog trying to intimidate Farkakte Insane Obama
15. The 'palestinians'...
Chatich   (11.26.09)
and their entire existance are "a show and manipulation aimed at deceiving the international community." Classic pal projection.
16. #1 I agree with you in part.However,if you took the word
Israel out&put inPLO ,   then it's correct!!!   (11.26.09)
17. #1 If Israel would give you ALL of it's land, here's what
Ari ,   Netanya, Israel   (11.26.09)
happen: 1.Because most of you have spent the days out in the streets protesting,digging tunnels, and throwing stones, you would soon face a major crisis in your utitlites, water and sewage plants, and infastructure such as road repairs,building new roads, houses, and buildings. Raw sewage would be running in the streest, and you would have to eat by candle light. 2. Your banking system would soon collapse because the core of your people are greedy, power hungry, and would steal the economy blind. With no money in the banks, no one would be able to buy, sell, or trade. 3. Your military would be in shambles because while most of your young boys know how to use a sling shot, not many are trained in using real military arms. Besides, you would be killing each other in the streets as there will always be groups of deluded pals. vying for control of power over the other groups. Perhaps there will be daily hangings, and throwing people off of the roofs of tall buildings. 4. Now that your coveted country is in shambles because of uneducated,power hungry hate mongers fighting each other instead of making a real life for yourselves, you will have destroyed the land that for years you have said was yours. Hence, one day soon you will have to look out of your window and see tanks from another country rolling down your streets declaring their rights to a land that you once had and in 6 months or less let slip out of your grasp. You know I speak the truth here. When you constantly sow, talk, and breath hate, you will always reap hates harvest. And that includes someone coming in who hates you more than you hate Israel.So give up while your ahead. Look into reality, and learn to live another day.
18. #9-The sons of Ishmael...should be called the sons of esau
Psalms 83 ,   selah   (11.26.09)
the later prophets indicate that when all is said and done ismael will recive an inheiritance alongside israel but esau won't.... and the biblical picture for gaza is not pretty
19. Bibi's cowardly plan backfires
Yonason Herschlag   (11.26.09)
Admittedly, Bibi has been under tremendous world pressure. And instead of standing his ground and fighting against the injustice of making parts of Israel Judenrein, he has retreated to an indefensible position. Because via honoring the international calls to stop settlement he has given credence to the claims that it is illegitimate for Jews to live beyond the green line. For our enemies there is no difference between east Jerusalem and any other settlement. And I'm not referring to our Arab enemies who want all of Israel, but rather the international community who universally accepts the green line as the sacred border.
