3. Look who is preacing about inciting against Jews
Aryeh ,   Bat Ayin   (05.11.10)
The student for 20 years of Jeremiah Wright, the friend of Louis Farrakhan, Rashid Khalidi, Tony Rezko, Robert O. Malley, Jim Jones,Bill Ayers, Zbig Brezizinsky, Jimmy Carter, Samantha Power, Martin Indick, etc.
4. Prevent incitement, print new school books
Berl ,   formerly of Seattle   (05.11.10)
all PA school books are filled with incitement and the de-legitimization of Israel , so are all their TV programs, radio shows and newspapers. So are the sermons in the mosques
5. USA - a doomed nation !
Jaacov Baumann   (05.11.10)
For her anti - israeli attitude, the USA will fall ! Look at her unbelievable financial defict ,look at the other problems the USA is facing ! ''He who curses Israel will be cursed !''
6. But as soon as talks over continue incitement.
Rose ,   NYC   (05.11.10)
7. President Abbas?
sk ,   USA   (05.12.10)
Hasn't Ynet figured out yet that Abbas is no longer "president"? But as this whole "peace process" is built on myth and magical thinking, I suppose there is no need even to get basic matters of fact correct.
8. MR OBAMA
MIKE ,   JLEM   (05.12.10)
Mr Obama seems to be so naive to believe that there is still any kind of trust among the majority of Israelis towards the palestinian leadership !
9. Lets see..
Ted ,   Not in israel!!   (05.12.10)
Obama makes Israel stop building anywhere in east jerusalem and the west bank and lets the palestinians set up their government offices in jerusalem, israel also has to make other painful concessions like free prisoners,take down settlements, hand over areas of the west bank and other stuff. And now after al this time obama asks the palestinians to ‘be a bit nicer to israel’ HAHAHAHAHAHa!!!!!! Some one is getting sooo $cr*wed!!!
10. The wolf is as asking the fox to guard the hen house
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (05.12.10)
Odumba has caused a lot of the incitement of late, but Abbas is the inciter in chief.
11. Like asking M. Hess to stop saying "time's up" and "wingnut"
flyingdoc57 ,   Florida, U.S.A.   (05.12.10)
12. OBAMA WILL PREVAIL, PALESTINE WILL BE CREATED!!!!
SINGER ,   SINGAPORE   (05.12.10)
13. Israel Itself Long Ago
World Citizen ,   the world   (05.12.10)
14. #5 is 1000% right !
Curtis ,   USA   (05.12.10)
There is going to be hell to pay for the U.S. attempting to give away land that Yahweh gave to Israel. At least we can say we did it to ourselves, because Yahweh gave us the warning in plain English.
15. berl,those schoolbooks were changed years ago!
Michael Hess ,   Charlotte, NC   (05.12.10)
16. Non of you Israeli's get it...the game was always the PA's!
Edithann ,   USA   (05.12.10)
The Palestinians hold the legitimacy of Israel, and only the Palestinians in their hands... The world would never recognize Israel without Palestinian consent......No matter how Israel looks at it..the world doesn't look at it the same way....Israel is an occupier and not a sovereign country...The UN never gave Israel sovereignty ...and if you think the Palestinians would ever allow Abbas to give it to the Jews in this life time, or the next, you are all out of your minds! Read the UN agreement on Israel...and then look at the 600+ violations Israel has ...and you think soveriegnty..hahahaaa TATA
17. Will Abbas refute his Thesis and book
(05.12.10)
which deny the Holocaust? Relations between Zionism and Nazism : 1933 - 1945 is the title of Mahmoud Abbas' CandSc thesis, completed in 1982 at the Patrice Lumumba University, and defended at the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Soviet Academy of Sciences under the title "The secret connection between the Nazis and the leaders of the Zionist Movement". It discussed topics such as the Haavara Agreement, by which the Third Reich agreed with the Jewish Agency to facilitate Jewish emigration to Palestine.[14][41] Some content of his thesis has been considered as Holocaust denial by critics, especially the parts disputing the accepted number of deaths in the Holocaust as well as the accusations that Zionist agitation was the cause^ A Holocaust-Denier as Prime Minister of "Palestine"? by Dr. Rafael Medoff (The David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies) Has the Kenyan illegal occupant of the White House asked him to do that? Or to repent for financing the Munich Olympics massacre?
18. US to Abbas: "urge"; US to Netanyahu: "demand"
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (05.12.10)
Obama "urges" Abbas to "do everything he can" to stop incitement. Why does he not *demand* that such incitement be stopped given that so much of it is spread by PA controlled media and PA-paid religious authorities? It's because he won't pressure the PA and wants a way *not* to hold them accountable. We've seen this story before. In the early 2000s, the US was "urging" Arafat to "do everything you can" to stop terrorism - ignoring that Arafat was involved up to his neck in those acts of terror. Obama - a student of history? Clearly not.
19. An impossible task for abbass, stop critizing Israel.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (05.12.10)
Oh my, pigs can fly, dogs love cats, spiders don't bite and abbass accepts Israel as a legitimate state.
20. there you are, here is the incitement so what are obama goin
ralph   (05.12.10)
to do about it? nothing. just bark, bare your teeth hen run under the couch.
21. Obama -don't delegitimize Israel
DT ,   TA Israel   (05.12.10)
No need to Mr President - you have already done that.
22. He's Talking Down To Us
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (05.12.10)
Mr. Obama is going to hold us accountable? Accountable? By what right does he have to hold anyone accountable for anything? It appears, despite warnings we have given him, Mr. Obama fails to recognize that one of the problems we have is Mr. Obama's meddling and attitude. Dear Mr. Obama, Stop your involvement in "trying to make peace" around here. You might be the guy holding the score, but you surely have no sense of how the music is to be played. Not only will you fail, you are complicating the problem with your interference. In a word - BACK OFF.
23. Obama's Peace Process is Like His Economic Recovery
eli ,   nahariya, israel   (05.12.10)
Don't get sucked in. He has no real answers... short term, cosmetic fixes yes, but long term fundamental answers that address the real underpinnings no way. His economic recovery plan never addresses the fundamental issues that caused the problem, but only serve to protect his financial backers in Wall Street. So too, his peace plan never serves to address the real underlying issues but only serve to protect is undeniable Arab heritage. Look at the Arab world -- our counter-parties in this "peace" process. Twelve nations with: no semblance of democracy, no concept of woman's rights, religious intolerance is consider virtuous, disparate wealth distribution patterns, lack of entrepreneurship, high infant mortality, low average life span, no access to the court system. We can make Obama a one term President. Let's do it!
24. end incitement
ezra ,   Jerusalem   (05.12.10)
How about starting by demanding that "Dr." Abbas renounce his denial of the Holocaust, which earned him his doctorate in some Russian University
25. that is olso era nonsense
dan   (05.12.10)
and it failed. it is not enough to simply "prevent incitement". that is a passive behavior. abbas has to promote peace, promote acceptance of a two state solution, and promote recognition of living in peace with israel as a jewish state. these are the demands that should be made of him. we need to hear a desire for peace, not simply a grudging willingness to sign a treaty with a country whose name you can barely bring yourself to utter and whose existence you refuse to accept, simply so that you can plan for the day when you can use your gains from 'peace' to start a new war.
26. yeah, right!
tom ,   toronto, canada   (05.12.10)
and why would abu mazen abandon two of his most successful strategies? because obama asked him "nicely"?! incitement, which has been going on continually since the plo occupied the west bank and gaza, costs very little and hurts israel. if there's no downside, why stop? as for indirect talks, abbas would have to be a complete idiot to give up such a sweet arrangement, where the united states beats israel up on his behalf. direct talks, by contrast, would weaken his position enormously, so they will only happen AFTER he has wrung the absolute maximum possible concessions from the process, including extra "incentives" to participate in direct talks. why should he hurry? obama really needs better advisors, so he can stop being such a dweeb.
27. SK, YOU SWITCHED TO YNET? THEIR NEW CENCORDSHIP IS
.......DACON9   (05.12.10)
SK, YOU SWITCHED TO YNET? THEIR NEW CENCORDSHIP IS CHASING MANY REGULARE READERS AND POSTERS AWAY. THIS HAPPEED WHEN THE FOUNDER JOINED THE KNESSET AND LEFT a running business to children with no experience other than dreams of grandeur and not practicality DACON9 EMAIL: jewswithviews@gmail.com
28. Two phony leaders spoke on the phone
Frank ,   Canada   (05.12.10)
Who cares. Stopping incitment against Israel is not the real problem.
29. Israel Delegitimized Itself Long Ago
World Citizen ,   the world   (05.12.10)
When it ignored the UN ground rules for setting up the modern state of Israel in 1947. When it ignored every UN resolution passed against it. When it broke the mandates of the 1949 Geneva Convention in regards to the occupation of the West Bank, Gaza,Golan Heights and Shabaa Farms. When it invaded Lebanon two times. When it murdered innocent civilians in Lebanon and Gaza. When it carries out state sponsored terrorism in the form of extra-judicial murders of people it calls terrorists. People that are in fact only resistors of Israel's racist and apartheid occupation of the West Bankand East Jerusalem. When it lets Jewish settlers steal land and burn Muslim mosques under the eyes of your military forces. When it treats its Arab and dark skinned Jewish citizens as second class citizens. When it rails against a nuclear Iran but has hundreds of nuclear weapons and has never let Dimona be inspected by the world nuclear governing body and never signed the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty. No paid hasbarem, PR firm or Washington lobbyist is going to change the civilized world's perception of Israel until Israel cleans its act up.
30. Delegitimizing Israel has been Abbas'
Steven ,   San Francisco   (05.12.10)
life's work. Hardly likely he'll stop now when his enitre reputation (and most likely his survival) depend on his continued delegitimization of Israel.
