1. this was Rabin's discredited position
Golan ,   modiin   (04.22.10)
and he was wrong. The idea was discredited over a decade ago. His belief or rather hope was that by negotiating autonomy for the Arabs in Israel that the war with the Arabs will end and the Persians would by default also stop their idi fix on Israel as little Satan. Two battles with Lebanon (1996- height of negotiations and 2006) and two with Independent Gaza proved that Iran will continue to fight Israel through proxi armies.
2. not the brightest light in the chandelier
sara ,   eretz yisroel   (04.22.10)
That's right....if we agree to a plan that will lead to the destruction of the Jewish people and the land, than Iran may not have to use its nukes for anything more than energy. Sorry, Mr. Jones and all those who hate us, but we will trust in our G-d and do as He has instructed us in the Torah, which is "emes" truth.
3. Rabin vs. Obama
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.22.10)
Rabin's vision for peace as expressed by him in his speech at the Knesset in October 1995: 1. Jerusalem will remain united as Israel's capital city and will also include Giv'at Zeev and Ma'aleh Adumim 2. The Jordan Valley must be viewed in the widest possible way and must remain under Israel's rule 3. Major settlement blocs, Gush Etzion, Binjamin, Ariel will be part of sovereign Israel 4. A Palestinian state will not be a regular state, e.g. its airspace and border passes will be controlled by Israel and it will be demilitarized Indeed, Rabin was both wise and brave in proposing such a contour. Perhaps the inexperienced Obama should learn a thing or two from Rabin's vision, which incidentally is very similar to that of Mr. Natanjahu's!!!
4. Dore Gold on US-Israel Relations
Jerusalem Center ,   Jerusalem   (04.22.10)
Ambassador Dore Gold recently spoke on MSNBC about the Obama-Netanyahu meeting in Washington and the state of the relationship between the United States and Israel. Despite the disagreement over building in areas such as Ramat Shlomo, the two countries share commons interests and strategic goals, he says. To watch the video follow the URL
5. LINK PAL TO IRAN= OBAMA LIES
stephane ,   JAFFA   (04.22.10)
6. A fundamental error made by Jones...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.22.10)
...is the fact that Israel's opponent is not the "Palestinians" but rather the Muslim-Arab world as a whole of which the local Muslim-Arab community, i.e. "Palestinians" are only one element. Note, the major wars aimed at Israel's annihilation and as the result of which a "Palestinian" problem has arisen have been initiated by coalitions of Muslim-Arab states backed up by the entire Arab League: 1948, 1967 and 1973. And at present the Muslim and Arab coalition of forces calling once again upon the wiping of Israel off the face of earth is made of Iran-Hizballah-IslamicJihad-Hamas-Syria. Israel, in this context, must be viewed as Biblical David facing Biblical Goliath, the entire Muslim-Arab world that to this day refuses to accept Israel's RIGHT to be, to exist as the nation-state of the Jewish people, while its "negotiators" refuse to accept a peace treaty as an "end of the conflict". Once viewed in the proper context, perhaps even Mr. Jones's view as well as his boss, Mr. Obama's understanding will change. But for that to happen people must share such reality with them, DIRECTLY!!!

Give California and Texas back to Mexico and then we can talk again.
8. A Crisis in US-Israel Relations
Jerusalem Center ,   Israel   (04.22.10)
It is possible to discern a growing view, which has been reported in the Washington Post, that the Obama administration intends to put on the table its own plan for Middle East peace, based on a nearly full Israeli withdrawal to the 1967 lines, that most Israeli planners view as militarily indefensible.

9. Americans believe Obama policies will lead to Terro Attack
Alan ,   SA   (04.22.10)
I read this morning an article which says 200 million-plus Americans – almost two of three in a new poll – believe the United States is more likely to be targeted in an attack – either by a hostile military or a terrorist organization – because of the policies of President Barack Obama. So where are his policies leading .
10. ABSOLUTE FORGETFULNESS
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (04.22.10)
Chamberlain thought that making a deal with the devil, would also prevent war. While the little monkey in Teheran beats the war drums our Liberal friends in Washington and here, are making the same historic blunder trying to appease a bunch of Fascists, by bowing down to them. The fact that , a Jew building a home in Jerusalem is considered a threat to world peace and a Islam Fascist building an A-bomb is no problem at all, shows how weak and misguided our so-called allies are. As usual in our history our reliance on foreign powers results in our loss of sovereignty over our land.
11. It`s the power , stupid.
Nora Tel Aviv   (04.22.10)
Peace or no peace, if Iran can produce a nuclear bomb, it will produce it. All other theories are Chamberlaine theories.
12. No, Mr. Jones time to punish "Israel"
Salma ,   Palestine   (04.22.10)
Maybe you did not hear yet, that Netanyahu rejected the settlement freeze
13. Major delusional political lies. Who cares what
B.E. ,   Whangarei, NZ   (04.22.10)
the U.S. thinks? Go it alone with your God Israel. It's your only hope and the only prayer you have and need. Zech. 12: 3 is today's reality. I wouldn't bet on any peace process to make Israel the center of a global love-in.
14. #12 Little grouchy this morning, Salma?
Janice Cohen ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.22.10)
15. James Jones - another walking idiot
DT ,   TA Israel   (04.22.10)
Is there anyone in the US administration who is not incredibly stupid ?
16. ramat shlomo frozen for 2 years
eporue ,   europe   (04.22.10)
17. Learn from History.
Ron B. ,   Lod   (04.22.10)
A proposed Palestinian state on one hand, and Middle East stability and US and Israel national security on the other hand, constitute a classic oxymoron. A Palestinian state would add fuel – and not water – to the fire of terrorism and Middle East turbulence. The promotion of "The Two State Solution" proves that the US and Israeli policy-makers are determined to learn from history by repeating – rather than by avoiding – past dramatic blunders.

18. LISTEN....OBAMA IS GOOOD FOR ISRAEL!
Singer ,   singapore   (04.22.10)
19. Jones either braindead or a liar.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (04.22.10)
Probably both.
20. They should stay away from mirrors then
Ilan ,   Ariel   (04.22.10)
If they are disappointed in Israel then it would be good advice to stay away from mirrors. If not then they will see the a bumbling fool who thought they could impose a solution on Israel that wouldn't make the Arabs even more demanding.
21. As Israelis we are disappointed with.. Obama !
Michel ,   Jerusalem   (04.22.10)
22. It is not by coincident that Obama's approval point among
Avigdor Ezrahi ,   Israel   (04.22.10)
Israeli Jews is 4%. But even among Arabs in the territories he has received only 19% of approval. The man is simply a rookie with no knowledge, no experience and no realistic understanding and vision, yet he attempts to impose upon others his thoughts.
23. MUSLIMS ANGER AT U.S wars in iraq, afghanistan ,
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (04.22.10)
THESE ARE THE REASONS THAT WOULD INCREASE THE MID-EAST CONFLICT, AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. MUSLIMS/ARABS ANGER AT THE U.S. WARS, INCREASES THE FUEL WHICH CAUSES INCREASED ISRAELI CASUALTIES. THE U.S. CLAIMS THAT THE SOLVING OF THE MID-EAST , ISRAEL-PAL/ARAB CONFLICT WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR THE U.S. TO FIGHT IN IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN, MAINTAIN TROOPS IN ARABIA. THE " SHEDDING OF U.S. BLOOD " IN THE WARS THAT THE U.S. IS FIGHTING IS CAUSED MAINLY AND DIRECTLY BY THE U.S WARS THEMSELVES. THE MID-EAST CONFLICT CANNOT BE USED AS AN EXCUSE FOR AMERICAN CASUALTIES. IN OTHER U.S. BATTLEGROUNDS. THIS U.S. " LOGIC " ARE SIGNS OF U.S. FAILURES AND THEY ATTEMPT TO SHIFT THE BLAME ELSEWHERE.
