1. Axelrod, Indick, Emanulemel,Waxman Soros, Kissinger
Pete ,   Bat Yam   (05.05.10)
Of them is the verse “your destroyers and despoilers shall come out from your midst.” Isaiah 49:17 Evangelical Christians are more Jewish than Axelrod and gang as they love Israel and Jews. Axelrod is one more court jew whose would be nothing if not for his hatred of Israel, and Jews and his love for Marxism.
2. Jerusalem MUST be first.
Yitzchak ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (05.05.10)
Israel MUST from the very beginning lay out this one concept - Jerusalem is NOT OPEN FOR NEGOTIATION OR DISCUSSION. Period. Doing that will save a lot of time and money for all nations concerned by not having to go through all the rest of this nonsensicle negotiations only to have the Palestinieans turn down EVERYTHING because of the Jerusalem issue (it's not an "issue") and Israel be blamed anyway for the "failure" of the negotiations.
3. Not even Abu-Dis !
Janice Cohen ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.05.10)
4. so what is our position on...
Golan ,   modiin   (05.05.10)
ok so since we all know that the negotiations are going to fail, that there will not be peace and the process is dead except for photo-ops for hack politicians... what is the plan for when the Israel say "Take it or leave it?" And the Arabs say "We will kill you if you give us everything we want or not!" I would really like to know.
5. Without E. Jerusalem As Palestine's Captial ----> No Israel
Palestinian   (05.05.10)
6. lol that what the other USA presidents did
ghostq   (05.05.10)
but the damage is done, you can't rewind what already was ruined, the advisores messed up and naturaly obama messed up.
7. Finally realized the truth
Salma ,   Palestine   (05.05.10)
At the beginning or at the end, what is important it is in this talks ( Israel Netanyahu recognize in some way that Jerusalem is not the united capital as always claimed) In the end, there is no Palestinian leader is able to sign the peace agreement, without giving Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine
8. Divide Jerusalem then
n.d   (05.05.10)
If 2000 years didn't make the land Palestinian/arab, then 60 years ain't going to make it israeli.
9. Let them have Gaza City as their capital.

The book was in fact written in Hungarian in 1955 by Miklos' old friend Lazar Wiesel and published in Paris under the title "Un di Velt hot Gesvigen", meaning approximately "The World Kept Silent". The book was then shortened and rewritten in French as well as in English in order to be published under the author`s name Elie Wiesel in 1958, under the french title "La Nuit" and the English title "Night". Ten million copies of the book were sold in the world by Elie Wiesel who even received a Nobel Peace prize for it in 1986 while -says Miklos- the real author Lazar Wiesel was mysteriously missing. Elie claims he was born on September 30, 1928. Lázár Wiesel - a third person - filled out a US Army questionnaire on 22 April 1945 at Buchenwald; he stated on the questionnaire that he was born at Màromarossziget on 4 October 1928; he was a student who was arrested on 16 April 1944 and interned at Auschwitz and Monowitz. Note that he was born in 1928, the same year as Elie Wiesel, but not on the same day. In the concentration camp of Auschwitz a Mr. Lazar Weisel was given A-7713. Lazar Wiesel -a fourth person- was born 4/9/13. He was a Jew from Hungary, born at Marmarossiget. This particular prisoner arrived in Auschwitz 5/24/44. In 1956 When Wiesel wrote his first version of Night in Yiddish he didn't mention gas chambers. He next published the La Nuit in French in 1958 but he didn't mention gas chambers. In 1960 he released the same book in English, but he didn't mention gas chambers. After nearly twenty years and three versions of Night, gas chambers were mentioned in Elie Wiesel's 1962 German edition through a mistranslation of "crematoria" as Gaskammern
11. Why all the fuss? Even dogs in the street
Joe Dempsey ,   Portland Or.   (05.05.10)
know the talks will fail and Jerusalem will remain undivided. "Whether you like it or not" is irrelevant.
12. to #10 :P you miss quot the name of the book
ghostq   (05.05.10)
and unfortunately that is not hungarian.
13. I for one have lost all respect and trust in the present US
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (05.05.10)
administration. Having systematically abused Jewish symbols of sovereignty in our historic homeland, beginning with Obama's speech in Cairo through the on-going humiliations of Israel's prime minister, disregard of Israel's law, court system and Israel's elected officials, I have no reason to view this hostile administration with any degree of trust.
14. Hire Dr Jacques Gauthier...
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (05.05.10)
..to present Israel's case to the US administration. After 25 years research and a 1300 page document, he concludes that Jerusalem belongs to Israel and the Jews. He's an international lawyer and happens not to be Jewish
15. Dr. Jacques Gauthier's work, it is a must:

16. Syria and Israel? peace
Amro ,   Latakia, Syria   (05.05.10)
Why are there so many war mongerers amongst you as Israelis and us as Syrian. Do we need to kill more of each other and then talk peace? Do you or us feel its right to have more children orphaned on both sides? Why can we not diffuse the problem. Syria is realistic. It will recognise Israel and live with it in 'normal -not buddy buddy- but normal peace' if Israel returns the whole Golan heights. In 1967 the Syrians were not realistic or tough; now they are tougher but realistic. Syria will then have 'normal' relations with Iran (rather than strategic) as Syria is secular not mullah driven. We all know that. Syria and Israel can co exist in peace..we must save lives... Can i not find any Israeli who shares with me the human sentiments of peace? The Golan is the price you pay, peace and security to you is the price we pay...easy done We have joint problems: lack of H20 for example...trade blah blah blah Return all the Golan (illegally occupied by international standards, the same standards you want to apply regarding weapons smuggling) , get the peace Golan hand over=Peace and security to Israel
17. If the proximity talks fail,
Erastus CoupeDeVille ,   Ong's Hat, NJ USA   (05.05.10)
an internationally mediated settlement of all the issues will imposed. The world has had enough of this tribal bickering.
18. # 16: WHAT??????
Israeli 2   (05.05.10)
You waged war on Israel. You lost the Golan forever fair and square. The Golan is gone forever. Make another stupid move and you will lose Damascus. Your peace offering is unacceptable. We can live without it.
19. #15
Harold ,   NY, USA   (05.05.10)
But the world does not recognize Dr. Jacques Gauthier's work. East Jerusalem is considered as an occupied part of Palestine.
20. Jerusalem IS JEWISH Dr
JUDAH THE LION   (05.05.10)
Jacques Gauthier have confirmed Jerusalem is Jewish. BIBI STAND FIRM ON JERUSALEM and not to agree to give one stone of our holy CITY JERUSALEM to the arabs.Hire Dr Gauthier snf others who knows history very well and to explain to president 0SAMA. The Almighty wil not agree to give HIS GIFT WHICH HE GAVE TO THE JEWS TO SHARE OR TO GIVE IT TO THE ARABS. OSAMA CANNOT DEFEAT THE ALMIGHTY. STAND FIRM AND HASHEM WILL BE WITH YOU ALL THE TIME. LONG LIVE ISRAEL AND JERUSALEM THE CAPITAL AND THE SOUL OF THE JEWS.AMEN & AMEN
21. NEVER, NEVER TRUST AXELROD !
Michel ,   Jerusalem   (05.05.10)
22. Syria & Israel peace no 16
Jewish refugee   (05.05.10)
Hi cousin Amro, You are 100% right.We dont want to see any more suffering from both sides Jews and Arabs. I am one of them I have lost my father in 1967 and once more in 1973 Yom Kipur War my sister have lost her husband and she had 3 young children and the youngest was only few months old.I am sure there are 1000s of families from both sides which experinced the same.I feel sorry for both.It does not matter wheather you are a Jew or an Arab.We are all HUMAN BEING and have same colour blood Israel cannot afford to give the Golan to the Syrians just like that.To be honest with you Jews dont trust Arabs and also the the other way. Why cant the Syrian government & the Israeli government to sit down face to face and to discuss in friendly way and hopfully at later stage there can be trust between us.To trust each other will take time not overnight. I only wish that there will be more like you in the muslim world.
23. #19 The world recognizes E. Jerusalem.
Yossi G. ,   Jerusalem   (05.05.10)
But will it lift a finger to do anything about it, except offer lip service and the odd (not-so-biting) sanction?
24. Observer what has yr Holocaust Denial article got to do with
Alan ,   SA   (05.05.10)
this article about Jerusalem???. Go enter it in some EU journal or Arab Newspaper
25. I trust Obama. I even voted for him. But he has turned
Deb ,   Chicago, IL USA   (05.05.10)
his back on Israel and the Jewish people. My vote will never go to him or any of his people if they ever run for office, e.g. Hillary Clinton & Co., etc.
26. Obama is worse then Carter
ronald ,   ny   (05.05.10)
Obama is by far going to be the worst President in modern US history much worse then Jimmy Carter...The Republican's are back and there gonna be bigger and better then ever.
27. # 25
Birdi ,   Israel   (05.05.10)

28. # 13
Birdi ,   Israel   (05.05.10)
