1. I hope it fails miserably
Steve ,   San Francisco   (08.20.10)
Netanyahu must be prevented from selling out his country by the patriots remaining in the Likud. The hateful Hillary, Muslim POTUS and the Arab-American Mitchell must not succeed -- otherwise Israel is done for. And that rascal Abbas, perhaps he will go the way of James Hoffa.
2. Washington "talks"
RayS ,   USA   (08.20.10)
Don't send Bibi!!!!!!!!!!Send BenZion, this 100 year old historian has the brains and guts needed to stand up against the den of snakes Obama has waiting. Bibi will fold.
3. Peace talks : A road to nowhere unless
DT ,   TA Israel   (08.20.10)
PM gives way on everything because pressure will only be upon Israel
4. Sisyphus Mitchell is back in action
Mladen Andrijasevic ,   Be'er Sheva, Israel   (08.20.10)
Sisyphus Mitchell is back in action and with Secretary Clinton is inviting Bibi to have direct talks with Abbas in DC. I just hope this is some kind of a stratagem to put the Iranians to sleep else it would be criminal negligence.
5. Great photo op
ben yaacov ,   herzliya il   (08.20.10)
As usual politicians will make a great show so they can be seen doing something.... A great and cynical parade of politicians making self serving speeches but it is the people who will suffer. If they were serious the talks would be done in secret and on the down low where necessary compromises can be made. Public announcements and headlines of compromise serve outside political interests but just provoke players like Hamas and Hizbolah to initiate violence and conflict to sabotage any possibility of a real agreement.
6. Quartet?
Dan ,   Titusville, FL   (08.20.10)
Notice all the enemies of Israel Clinton is inviting? They can have a duet, a trio, a quartet or a whole orchestra there will be no peace or peace agreement with the Palestinians who are sworn to destroy Israel and kill Jews.
7. And Abbas will ask for east jerasulem
pauly ,   USA   (08.20.10)
and bibi will say no, and abbas will say if not i leave and than there will be some violent protestors, a pally will get hurt, negotians blown, and all terror mafia groups will rejoice and go back to the beginning, like always...
8. Jerusalem, Ramallah agreed?????what about E-Jerusalem
Mike ,   New york   (08.20.10)
Bad start if you think you can live in peace in this region and not have a compromise on Jerusalem as capital for both states. palestinians love Jerusalem as much as you do and you should stop denying that by claiming jerusalem is not mentioned in the quran etc....no peace without E-jerusalem capital of palestine. Long live peace
9. Hillary and Mitchell, the two faces of
jason white ,   afula,israel   (08.20.10)
evil. These two anti Zionists and their moslim boss want to destroy us. bibi is weak and will only help the dems in Nov. Stay away from Washington. Or better yet resign now. We need a strong leader and one that has the patience to wait for the dems to lose their majority in Nov. Meanwhile b.o. and his family are enjoying their sixth vacation this year.
10. not again more talk :(
Robert ,   farmington,wv   (08.20.10)
lets see all the past presidents has failed , and israel really dont care at all for obama , since obama been in office we had a bad economy , oil spill , iran building a nuclear weapon , healthcare going down the drain , lost are allies ,has thumb his nose at israel and there leaders and this is the guy that going to bring peace to the jews and the pals. ye right you keep believing
11. two states = Jordan & Israel
Jordan is Palestine   (08.20.10)
12. Using the "piece process" to steal Jewish money and votes!
before november   (08.20.10)
13. What a joke
Fadi   (08.20.10)
Israel has no intention of making peace. They use peace talks just as cover to keep the international community off their back. Now while Abbas "talks", Israel will be building even more settlements in the West Bank and expelling Arabs from their homes in E. Jerusalem. Abbas is a fool and an appeaser, I hope he is replaced soon.
14. Jerusalem, Ramallah agreed !
Salma ,   Palestine   (08.20.10)
what about Tal Aviv ?!! Hi Ynet ;)
15. Return Shalit, Then Talk!
emanon ,   USA   (08.20.10)
16. at number 8
pauly ,   usa   (08.20.10)
Exactly no mention in quran they havent had it for more than 40 years and never will, if thats a precondition than the pallys can keep sufferring because they are arogant. three cheers for Israel!
17. @13
pauly ,   usa   (08.20.10)
And if abbas makes a peace agreement maybe the pallys will finally have control and wont have settlements to worry about, or they can think like you and suffer another few hundred years
18. Peace of the wolves
Brod ,   USA   (08.21.10)
Peace with the wolves and their handlers exists only in fantasyland. Israel must be resolute in defending its liberated historic homeland of Judea and Samaria-Land of Israel. The Islamist-Jihadist usurpers and marauders will try to suck every inch of the Land of Israel. Israel should just tell them NO to their crap and fantasy. Because peace does NOT exist in the heart, mind and soul of Islamist-Jihadists. The latter already has a large country called Jordan where 70% of the population are Palestinian Islamist-Jihadists.
19. madame Clinton is an expert in
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (08.21.10)
real estate deals, as she has proven in the Whitewater case... Please piss off...madame...
20. Hope peace will be achieved!
Mike ,   GB   (08.21.10)
21. peace possible?
moron ,   galut   (08.21.10)
an agreement maybe but not peace--the Land is too small to divide and the arab states who are the real parties opposite dont want it and a weak america cannot facilitate it or act against islamics to enforce it --israel beware and remember the 'peace' the maccabees made with syria and israel's dependence on the romans--israel must unite to defend its inheritence-the holy land
22. IDIOTS!!! It took 2 yrs. to set up this damn meeting&now
they want peace in 1 ,   yr?? IDIOTS!!!!!!   (08.21.10)
23. You know,there comes a time when the words of Yeshua "Peace,
Rueben ,   Migdal, Israel   (08.21.10)
peace,(they will say), and then comes sudden destruction, has to come to pass. Perhaps this is the time and nothing can stop the process from happening. Peace for a VERY short time, and then all hell breaks loose. I'm just saying.
24. Peace is Hudna Only
Dallas ,   Canada   (08.21.10)
Who are they kidding? This 'peace' proposal can only be the next step to an Islamic state on the land that is Israel. Let's face reality - until Islamic hatred of Jews disappears, never will there be anything resembling a lasting peace, and anything resembling 'peace' is an Islamic hudna, nothing more. You'd think that the Western powers watching might mention that ugly little deal-breaker.
25. No Safety In An Agreement
Dan ,   USA   (08.21.10)
Any agreement is useless without every Arab country signing onto the agreement and even then Israel must never relax. As long as Obama is president and Democrats run the House and Senate, Israel will not be safe. But once again American Jews will overwhelmingly for for the Democrat to show their liberal cred.
26. Who is she to promise the world to everyone?
Steven Wilson   (08.21.10)
She's not even an elected Israeli official.
27. The 2 strongest personalities of all...
maniaco ,   SoCal, USA   (08.21.10)
Abbas, Mubarak, the King, Mitchell, Blair, Ashton, the pantywaist Obama, and anybody else you want to bring to the fray are simply no match for the 2 strongest characters and toughest in-fighters anywhere around: Netanyahu and tag-team partner Clinton. And anybody who underestimates Hillary Rodham Clinton is in for a rude surprise, as she will kick their ass down a flight of stairs in a heartbeat. So I say, "Bring it on, you cowardly crybabies!"
28. Obama has Quartet and Arab League backing on this
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (08.21.10)
Israel and PA will need to work out fine details but most the deal is already set. With the backing of most the world Obama could crush the PA or Israel if either party pulls out of this without very good reasons. Sanctions against Iran was hard to get but would be easy for Obama, on PA or Israel if he was forced to.
29. time limit
colin   (08.21.10)
The american courtesen talks her crap again She has nothing to give in advice !!!She cannot demand anything futrher from the groveling Israeli politicians as they know thats the end of thier perks and seats in the knesset.No appeasement except her money can push the criminal arabs banished from all the arab countries. She cannot claim occupied as america is on ground occupied from the indians 400 yrs ago. The jews have been in Israel for 5000yrs.There will not be any peace paper in one year or for the record next one hundred years Hillary go back and wait for grandchildren They will surely be before any of your backstabbing deals.of peace agreements. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
30. peace
rudy ,   soul korea   (08.21.10)
until they learn to Love one Another there is no real peace... what we see are the opposite - hatred, lies, murder, false accusations, and lots of killings..to the peacemakers- God bless you all!
