1. Time for everyone to lay their cards down
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (08.13.10)
If Quartet bases framework on Roadmap or modified Saudi plan then Netanyahu will have a very hard choice and Gov. may fail either way he goes. The real question is how far is Quartet will to go with pressure to get a deal signed? Giving up A areas and Gaza is possible but much more could lead to political civil war at the least.
2. #1 BS - Not as difficult as you think
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (08.13.10)
The key amongst most observers is to agree broad principles establish a State on the West Bank with agreend boundaries Then allow up to three years for a gradual roll out of full implementation to enable both parties to iron out problems and build confidence Few Palestinains and Israelis would expect an overnight implementation but seeing the gradual unravelling of differences over time and the give and take required would be enough to support the process
3. GREEN LINE FOR WAR
vitenberg ,   saint-mandé FRANCE   (08.15.10)
Return to the green line, accepting millions refugees, what after: complete surrender... If a politician thinks that the green line is a peace line, he is blind: it's a war line... If a politician thinks it is not a peace line, but it is possible to discuss, to obtain crumbs...he is dreaming and ill... As you see, our foes and our friends speak the same language: green line is not a pré-condition... Don't worry: you will get UN troops on the green line, as in lebanon, as in sinai 1967, as in Scopus hospital in 1948, as along the tell-aviv-jerusalem road in 1948, when the water-pipe exploded, the jerusalem post ( palestine post ) wrote: " the pipe exploded by laughing when he heard Bernadotte speaking about UN guarantees". So, if you think english or french version it's only a detail, don't worry. But if you think it is the last defence line, be careful when you hear the policians speaking about a lot of things and ideas, only for hiding the essential.
