1. True headline:"Bibi launches talks because he fears Obama".
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.05.10)
There is no evidence that Israel wants to talk to the P.A. The P.A. has nothing to offer Israel except unlimited misery, rockets on our cities and towns, and thousands of maimed and murdered civilians. If Israel really wanted talks with the P.A., Israel would have elected Labor and Meretz to govern. Instead the "peace talks" loving parties are being voted out of existence. An accurate headline would read: "Bibi launches talks because he's the only world leader who fears Obama".
2. Talks...
Jennie ,   USA   (05.05.10)
Call it proximity talks or prelimenary "peace" talks- one needs not be psychic to make a sure bet, that just like all the others, so-called "talks"and armtwisting by Nobama,Mitchel,foxy hillarry, etc., will end the same way - more war and more intifada.......The only ticket to Peace is a strong and victorious Israel, whose Government would only resume any negotiations with pa, after they recognize the state of Israel.....When did Mitchell ever achieve anything positive in the ME ? And why would this time be different then others ?! Just reviewing the historical facts in the past 30 years, is evident enough to recall, that every single nipping of Israeli land, brought only more devastation on Israel and caused more wars and terror and new demands....
3. Seldom mentioned…
Ron B. ,   Lod   (05.05.10)
In one of his last and most important speeches, Rabin stated before the Knesset on October 5, 1995, one month before he was murdered, his opposition to a new independent Arab state acting as a sovereign authority inside Israel's current borders. He stated at the time, "We view the permanent solution in the framework of State of Israel which will include most of the area of the Land of Israel as it was under the rule of the British Mandate, and alongside it a Palestinian entity which will be a home to most of the Palestinian residents living in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. "We would like this to be an entity which is less than a state, and which will independently run the lives of the Palestinians under its authority." About an additional Arab state west of the Jordan (in 4 parts): http://xrl.us/osjq5

If Israel can go to negotiations under rocket fire, palis surly can go. but I trust they will miss this one once againe, fayad even took back what he said about palestinian state.
5. Netanyahu, got peace plan???
Yossi ,   Israel   (05.05.10)
Netanyahu has no peace plan, keep all the settelements, keep Jordon Valey, and above all keep the government together, by negotiating about nothing.
6. # 1 Are you be delirious?!
Salma ,   Palestine   (05.05.10)
You wrote" The P.A. has nothing to offer Israel except unlimited misery, rockets on our cities and towns, and thousands of maimed and murdered civilians"..... Any P.A. you're talking about?!! Obama till now would not employ significant pressure on "Israel" ...Wait for him to do it ,then you will see the "Israel's" real fear from U.S..
7. to #6 put preasure on someone usualy get the
ghostq   (05.05.10)
oposite outcome, that how human nature is and politic is no difference, #1 is right, as for obama sdministration, let put it mildly ever since he got into office the situation in USA got even more worse, cause the avrage amerikan doesn't care about the ME, only health benefits and food in the end of the month. Israel is the last problem that bother him right now, even though he act like everything is perfectly ok, well even his own party members start to quetion his ability to do something right. anything.
