31. NO TO THE "piece process"!
Jordan is Palestine   (08.21.10)
32. What is it that the Pals do not understand about
Vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (08.21.10)
NO PRE-CONDITIONS? And if BIBI thinks he won't be insulted again by their Muslim Brother Barak Hussein Obuma, then he is not the strong man that he used to be. Our pre-conditions should be: !. But out USA, Russia, China, Europe, UN. Israel is OUR Land. We will not give an inch. 2. Jerusalem is NOT and issue. 3. If the Pals do not return Shalit, we will take the whole of the territory back and you will have to earn every cm by showing us peace, accepting us. No demands for nothing that is not earned. 4. to the rest of the world. IF YOU ARE SO INTERESTED IN THE WELFARE OF THE PALESTINIANS THEN TAKE THEM INTO YOUR HOMES. (you will soon learn that they will demand everything else, then demand their laws, demand your women are all covered from head to toe.
33. What you can expect
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.21.10)
The war mongers like Hamas to fight this, to quote from the article: "The Palestinian people will not be bound to the outcomes," Hamas spokesman, Sami Abu Zuhri said." Basically Hamas will not honor any agreement made, look for some rocket fire from Gaza. The Israeli "hard right" who have more government control than popular support, will, of course announce building in the West Bank or East Jerusalem. So those will be the attempts to stop the talks. Palestinians will fire rockets and try to kill people, Israel announce building, when you compare the two what is worse? Typically the mainstream press gives more coverage to the announcements of building, than to the attempt killing of civilians. Both sides must just move on past these incitements. Because in the end a peace agreement deprives both sides of the ammunition they need to continue their efforts to stop the talks. But I must stress it shouldn't prevent the IDF from responding to rocket attacks which puts life in danger. While building announcements should be ignored, it puts no life at risk, but, actual building must be stopped by BiBi.
34. Negotiations
Deb ,   Rockville MD   (08.21.10)
Do not trust Obama, Clinton, Mitchell and others in this administration to look after Israel. You do so at your extreme risk.
35. Peace in the Middle East
Harold ,   USA   (08.21.10)
When President Obama starts something he will complete it sucessfully and completely. I guarantee you he will definitely solve the 62 years old Middle East problem. Good Luck President Obama.
36. #1
Harold ,   USA   (08.21.10)
Believe me President Obama's Peace Talks is real and if any of the parties creat problems, he and the world will impose peace in the Middle East.
37. Defend Israel & the Free World! Build! Build! BUILD!
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (08.21.10)
Jews and the world's non-Muslims must never give up their rights and surrender to Islam! NEVER surrender to totalitarian, expansionist Islam! Build as if your very lives depended on it. Retaining all of the Biblical ancestral homeland of Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem is vital for the defense of Israel and must never be surrendered to violent Jew-haters.
38. Do away with the freeze forever
Brod ,   USA   (08.21.10)
Do away with the freeze forever. Israel has all the rights in the world to develop its liberated historic homeland of Judea and Samaria-Land of Israel. The wolves and tigers and their AntiSemite zombies have NO right telling Israel what to do to its land. Israel should take care of its own people. The Land of Israel is GOD-GIVEN and GOD-RESTORED to the Children of Israel as a Fulfillment of GOD'S COVENANT TO Israel.
39. #37 I love you!!
Dan ,   Titusville, FL   (08.21.10)
You are so very right!!!!
40. Mark of Lewiston stop your lies
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (08.21.10)
Israel has done nothing to prevent any election. The only thing they have done is abide by the written agreements. All of the 'Palestinian' elected officials terms have expired and they are the ones blocking any elections not us. The Arabs need to end their occupation of Jewish lands. They are the illegal colonists on our lands.
41. #15
yehoshua ,   usa   (08.21.10)
I like the one man one vote idea. There are alot of zionist Chines and Indian Jews just waiting for the chance to come to Erz Israel.
42. Lose the Fantasy, Gee
Mark of Lewiston ,   Lewiston USA   (08.21.10)
There is no Right of Conquest left. Israel signed it away when you joined the Geneva Conventions in the 1950s. The Palestinians did not move in just before 1967 or just after, either to occupy. You are occupying them, belligerently according to your own courts.. Israel decided after the last elections that it would annul the results. It did so. So who can run? Who can win? Who can govern? Who can vote? Israel is the occupying power has control of all of this. There is no point to elections if only Israel can decide the answers to these questions. The 05 elections were a sham since Israel decided those who won wouldn't be allowed to govern.
43. #15 you had the option of pre 67 borders before
rebecca ,   Modiin   (08.21.10)
In 48 you were offered a state, bigger than anything. you rejected. it. Since then how many times have the PA rejected offers and started wars? And almost every time you land up with less land. Isn't it about time you take the offer and try make something of yourselves?
44. :: Sarah BS is right
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (08.21.10)
When indeed? After all it is Obama that calls the shots on the settlement freeze, if Obama thinks that peace talks would benefit from an extension of the building freeze he will make that call not Israel. Abbas should be more like Israel who knows which side its bread is buttered on, if Obama says no green light to attack Iran then Israel sits on its hands and does as it’s told. Look at the recent incident on the Lebanon border, Israel was all geared up to retaliate but Obama reined Israel in and firmly said no dice. Israel should count its blessings that Obama is at the helm and calling the shots.
45. #15 Wissam, you can also choose another 60 years like this
Nemesis   (08.21.10)
46. #44, Matty, what's your point?
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.22.10)
Abbas takes his orders from the Arab League. Hamas takes it's orders from Iran and Syria, with some extra coaching from Hezbollah. Hezbollah are lackeys for Iran, fighting and dying for Iran, who use Hezbo as their mercenaries. So what is your point? That Israel will stand down...at times...if the U.S. asks, as a favor? Seems to me, a pretty big favor, yet Israel who had every right to respond to the Lebanese attack, was being a great friend, if what you say is true, and I have my doubts. Israel stood down because it wasn't in their interest to escalate a war at that time. Tell me Matty, if your enemy smacked you in the mouth, and I, as your friend, ask you to stand down, would you? So save save the sarcasm.
47. Mark of Lewiston #42
Brod ,   USA   (08.22.10)
Occupying force? You must be living in fantasyland. The fact is Judea and Samaria are Israel's historic homeland-Land of Israel since ancient time that Israel liberated from the Islamist-Jihadist occupiers in 1967, just as Spain liberated its historic homeland from the Islamist-Jihadist occupiers in the Medieval. Your knowledge of history, the Bible and Biblical Archeaology is zero.
48. Brod - History didn't End with the Conquest of Canaan
Mark of Lewiston ,   Lewiston USA   (08.22.10)
And if you are living in the US, have you thanked you local tribe or even met them? Ferdinand and Isabella were not nice people. They and the Inquisition were very much like you.
49. History Doesn't Begin & End
Mark of Lewiston ,   Lewiston USA   (08.22.10)
History doesn't begin and end with the Israelite conquest of Canaan. Ferdinand has Isabella had the same thinking as yours about Muslims AND Jews.
50. Obama cannot guarantee
Brod ,   USA   (08.22.10)
Obama is not god or king of Israel. He could not and should not guarantee anything. He might try to con as he did during his 2008 election. So, Abbas and his cohorts should stop deceiving and manipulating America and other countries to help them usurp the Land of Israel from the Jews. And the Free World should stop being fooled and manipulated by the Islamist-Jihadist world to do their dirty work of crusading their Jihadism on Israel.
51. U.S.-England 1924 Treaty=Balfour Declaration
sam ,   USA   (08.22.10)
Arabs got politicaal rights in Iraq,Syria Lebonan,Jordan+19 other contries;Politivcal rights only to jews in Palestine
52. sorry Obama your legacy just went down the toilet
zionist forever   (08.22.10)
Obama is the only one to blame for this problem. He has been spending his whole time attacking Israel attacking Israel and trying to overthrow Bibi. He told Abbas give me a list of demands and I will make sure you get what you want. Now Obama failed to get rid of Bibi and he is finding out its much easier to make promises than it is to deliver the goods but problem is Abbas has been told that his wish is Obamas command so he isn't going to compromise. Bibi cannot hold his coalition together if he ends all settlement construction especially if Abbas & Obama try bring Jerusalem into this. Bibi like every other politician is going to put his career ahead of Obamas legacy. If Obama wants that legacy he would learn to act responsibly. 1) Tell your ally Abbas that although Israel is their mutual enemy Abbas is going to have to make compromises if he wants anything. 2) Don't push Bibi into a corner and make demands he can't deliver. If that means allowing him to continue building then do that. 3) If you want PEACE and not just an arab state then don't rush things. If we have failed to reach an agreement in 16 years including at the peak of oslo what makes Obama so sure he can get a deal and bring peace within 1 year. Oslo was originally supposed to create a state within 3 years and that was when we were all talking and there was alot of hope on all sides. Today Obama plans to do things within 1 year at a time when relations between arabs and Israel are at the lowest they have been for a long time. Obamas not looking for peace of thinking about stability he is thinking about his legacy and his oversized ego.
53. Mark of Lewiston #48, #49
Brod ,   USA   (08.22.10)
The Land of Israel is GOD-GIVEN and GOD-RESTORED to Israel. GOD redeemed and restored Israel back in their Ancient Land of Israel as a Fulfillment of GOD'S Covenant to Israel. Jeremiah 31:1-17, Ezekiel 36:24-38, Ezekiel 37:21-28, Ezekiel 39:27-29, Amos 9:14-15. GOD'S Covenant to Israel is irrevocable. No mortals should dare tamper with GOD'S Restoration of Modern Israel in their Ancient Land of Israel.
54. i forgot its always Israels fault.
Shame   (09.11.10)
