1. Bibi, you are "negotiating" with a murderer, expect NOTHING.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (08.30.10)
2. But the Pals do not want peace
Dan ,   Titusville, FL   (08.30.10)
The Palestinians only want the destruction of Israel. In the past 63 years they have stated nothing else. We should believe them. Hamas is staged to overthrow the PA, assasinate Abbas and then attack Israel if any treaty is signed. Bibi, Abbas is not Sadat and Obama will stab you and all Jews in the back.
3. Netanyahu seeks lusting piece; a fourth wife?
observer   (08.30.10)
Netanyahu's first marriage was to Dr. Miriam Weizmann, during which the couple had a daughter named Noa. His second marriage (1981–84) was to Fleur Cates, a British citizen who converted to Judaism especially for marriage. In 1991 Netanyahu married his third wife, Sara Ben-Artzi, a psychology major working as a flight attendant. A grandfather as he is, Bibi is seeking a hot piece to warm his cold life.
4. DON'T DENY OUR RIGHTS BIBI !
Salma ,   Palestine   (08.30.10)
Peace with us will be warmer than any other party, no need for a Palestinian Sadat, if you want true and lasting peace.
5. BLAH BLAH BLAH
KING OF HOT AIR ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (08.30.10)
And more blah blah...
6. Anwar Sadat
Ashbrook ,   Portland, OR   (08.30.10)
In case, Bibi has forgotten, Anwar Sadat demanded all of Egypt's land back in exchage for peace. I hope that means that Bibi's willing to use the '67 borders as a basis for negotiations.
7. COMPARE THAT TO HAMAS REMARKS
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.30.10)
So far Hamas has simply made death threats to Abbas, King Abdullah, Hosni Mubarak in no uncertain terms. Hamas has stated they would "step on the heads" of those who negotiate with Israel. In addition, in another statement threatened the security of Jordan and Egypt, if they participate in the "direct talks". I always said the Palestinians need their version of our (the U.S.) Thomas Jefferson. The problem is, and always has been, they kill dissenters. In Arab politics the way you discredit your opponent (besides murder them), is call them a traitor, collaborator, controlled by the Zionist entity, A U.S. puppet etc., they do this because they don't want true peace. For Hamas, it is committing suicide. They simply are NOT needed when the Palestinians have a country, accept Israel right to exist in peace, and renounce terrorism and the give up the goal of destroying Israel. Then who needs Hamas? Then what do need you Hamas for? For that matter, what do you need an army for? Israel will not attack a Palestinian state, there is nothing to be gained. Israel is happy to be rid of the Palestinians and all the crap that goes with them.

establish your state in gaza and west bank, accept it once for all give up Jerusalem which is our capital and holy city for more than 3000 years, even before the islam was born, we will not share it with anybody. GET IT. have your state and go there, don't ask for 1 state solution because it will never be. GET IT, we will never be ruled by a government made by israelis and palestinians-hamas. Think think think !
9. Don't fall into those traps!
Marcella   (08.30.10)
1) Demand a referendum both in the PA and in Israel. Do the PA Arabs want peace? Do Jews want to partition their country? 2) What peace is the government talking about? Picture this scenario: - Peace is agreed upon. Documents are signed. What happens next? Arab uprising. Abbas resigns. Hamas takes over. The new government abrogates the peace treaty. Result? Israel gets NO PEACE AND NO LAND. 3) The PM can't fulfill his promises. He has a low threshhold for US pressure and will agree to anything when the time comes. The PM's greatest problem is how to balance his need to stay in power with the demands made by the US. Solution? He'll play a game behind your backs. He has already decided that the talks will be conducted in secret. By the time Jews, including MKs, find out how much he has surrendered, it will be too late. 4) Commitments for security are nothing but a FIG LEAF for the devastating surrender planned by your government. How long will those security arrangement last? A year? Ten years? We don't know. But land once surrendered is LOST FOREVER. 5) The peace talks pretence may be nothing but a way for the PA to get its act together for the big showdown in a year or so when they declare unilateral independence, recognized by the US, EU and UN. Netanyahu knows that!!! ~~~~~~~~ Stop the peace talks now. Tell the mediators to go home. Find an Israeli solution for the conflict. Regain control of the situation and make your PM abide by national and international law. Israel should not be partitioned! Annex the land while you still have time.
10. Sept. Peace talks
Michael Miller ,   0wensboro, USA   (08.30.10)
I will be praying for Netanyahu and Israel. They will get no help from obama.
11. #8 Daniela,we're here to stay...GET IT ;)
Salma ,   Palestine   (08.30.10)
If you are saved from the lion, do not be greedy and hunt it. GET IT !!
12. That was an incredibly shoddy
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (08.30.10)
comment, "observer" #3 and did not deserve publication. What's wrong with you?
13. Netanyahu's premise gives me confidence
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (08.30.10)
going in.
14. Netanyahu should be realistic
Brod ,   USA   (08.31.10)
Lasting peace exists only in Heaven. The world called Planet Earth is dominated by Lucifer, his demons and dark forces. Ergo, there will be no lasting peace until Messiah comes to rescue GOD'S people in the End Time. The Islamist-Jihadists who worship Lucifer cannot become angels overnight. Land or no land, they will remain the same-belligerent dark forces hellbent on the destruction of Israel. Hussien, Hillary and their associates are too smart not to know the nature of the dark forces. However, their agenda is to exploit Netanyahu's weakness and bring his government down and usher a more compliant government that would do their dirty work as the government that rooted out thousands of Jews living in Ghush Khatif, emboldening the Islamist-Jihadists to rain 8000 rockets at Israel. Netanyahu should see the big picture and listen to his Right-Wing constituents and supporters-his source of political support. The Nation of Israel has turned to the Right and Israel's government will do well knowing the aspiration of the nation. There is no point dreaming of an Anwar Sadat. Sadat is longed gone. There would never be another Sadat. And Sadat was not aiming to usurping the liberated historic Land of Israel. The world has changed. There are far more urgent and serious challenges and threats that Israel faces. The fanatical Islamist-Jihadists in Iran are feverishly working on their nukes and have threatened repeatedly to vaporize Israel. So, Netanyahu should not dream of an 'Anwar Sadat' but be realistic with the present threats and challenges. The GOD of Israel did not give and restore the Land of Israel to the Children of Israel for them to give it away to the Pagans-the AntiSemite and Islamist-Jihadist world. Be strong, united and resolute in the face of external pressures, challenges, deceptions, and threats. GOD is Israel's Rock, Fortress, Deliverer, GOD, Strength and Stronghold. Psalm 18:2. GOD is Israel's Helper. Psalm 54:4.
15. #9 your arrogance is revealing
Wissam ,   Palestine   (08.31.10)
"Do Jews want to partition their country? " Since when is the West Bank your country??!! Unbelievable arrogance!! Simply unbelievable. Do you think we forgot all about Akka, Haifa, and Yafa? Ramle and Nassreh? Greedy bunch of power-crazed maniacs.
16. #6; Ashbrook, where have you been
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.31.10)
The 67 borders are basis (guidelines) for any final agreement. In fact, all but appox. 7% of the borders/land are set. There will will be some land swap, and Abbas offered I believe, about 2%-3%, that Israel declined on. So that is one of the issues that will be discussed in the direct talks. So it depends on what you mean by "all" the land. As has been discussed many times on this board, the drafters of UN Resolution 242, expected Israel to keep some of the land, for security reasons. This point is fact, and, not debatable, it is part of the historical record, since the authors are on the record as to what they meant when they authored 242.
17. Cheers!
Ypip ,   Canada   (08.31.10)
18. Sadat
Ashbrook ,   Portland, OR   (08.31.10)
I don't have any major disagreements with you, Mark, except that I have yet to hear anything like the following words come out of Bibi's mouth: "The 1967 borders, with mutually agreed upon modifications,, will be the basis of our upcoming negotiations with the Palestinians." And I believe I was correct when I asserted that Egypt got all of its land back in return for peace with Israel. Sadat would accept nothing less. So if Bibi is calling for a Palestinian Sadat, he should expect some very tough negotiations and Palestinian insistence on one-for-one trade of land.
19. bibi
(08.31.10)
you want a palastinian leader who can protect the israil borders the north and south borders ..hahaha ..i think if you find such a eader who wants to do it but no one can do it .. israil had experemints with lebanon first and with egypt second no one can protect you .even in iraque and afghanistan ..leaders could not protect american or nato troops
20. i love land of israel so much, i'll give it away

Of Netanyanu, especiallyas I know that he is not stupid! Kol hakavod to the way you are openning our side!
22. @#15: We know. You'd conquer the entire land if you could.
Bat Zion ,   Centre, Israel   (08.31.10)
Abbas said so a few weeks ago. But you can't, so you're trying to get us to sign a false peace treaty, in which, as Marcella pointed out, we'll end up with the enemy much closer and much deadlier. We're willing to give you part of the land, in return for peace. Are you up to it? Can you keep the peace if land is given to you, or will you say, "okay, I got me a finger, I want the whole hand"? I wish you'd accept the Partition Plan, truly accept it and welcome it. That way we could both live our lives according to our culture and way of life.
23. sadat
colin   (08.31.10)
Sadat was the president and leader of a country. This present PLO criminal is only that-a criminal,murderer decieving bastard. He and his so called band were deported,banished and thrown out of the arab countries Egypt,Jordan saudi etc. Who does Bibi want to legitimise. ??these offcasts whom the leftest press calls palestinians!!!!! Begin was a leader. Bibi is a groveling wimp to the americans.
24. Yahweh is Israel's supporter
Beaulah ,   Chennai, India   (08.31.10)
While the whole arab world and non-arab world stands with Palestine, YAHWEH shall be on the side of Israel as a single strong supporter. The land belongs to YAHWEH. He shall strengthen NetanYAHU !!!
25. Wissam- History of West Bank
Yaakov ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.31.10)
The west bank of Israel (Judea and Samria) has been Jewish for thousands of years. It is very much our country. you instead of acting as recent guests just love war and conquering our land as well. You have the entire middle east why take our land too? You used to just have the Arabian peninsula. Already, the Europeans gave you (without our full consent) 77% of our land- the East bank of the land of Israel which is today Palestine/Jordan. There has been continuous Jewish presence on our land including the west bank (Judea and Samaria and Gaza) for thousands of years while ever since your people came -mostly form the 1880's- you murdered jews in their towns several times over i.e. Gush Etzion. 1929 because of Arab/Turk violence Jews were evacuated from their houses in Hebron where Jews lived for thousands for years. In fact, Hebron was the first Capitol before Jerusalem. You live in Jewish homes. Then in 1948 your people invaded and occupied Judea and Samaria murdering Jews and running Jews out, destroying holy places, many many synagogues and took Jewish tomb stones and used them to pave roads and as urinals. Then the lands were liberated in 1967 after again your people fought a war of genocide against the Jews in their homeland. I don't exactly know what gives you the right to occupy our land and be violent? Also the very few Arabs/Turks that have been here much longer than the 1880s slaughtered Jews and took our houses and occupied out towns and cities and never changed the name of our towns. You kept our names just pronounced with an Arabic accent. Beit Jala (Jilo/Gilo). Salem(Shalem) etc.. BTW, did you know that the large mosque in Gaza used to be a large Synagogue. There was a verse from the bible carved in one of its stone columns that was ground away but then you know what Islam does.... conquer and supplant the places of worship and put mosques there.

28. love
colin   (08.31.10)
Bibi says he loves Israel BUT HE HATES ARE MORE TO HIS LIKING. Bib is a groveling wimp and the muslim american president will demand he continues the freeze.Bibi will capitulate and grant his wishes. The government will fall and no year will be allowed to give away Israel
29. the summits, conferences, etc.
roli ,   miami beach, USA   (08.31.10)
have not been effective in negotiating peace treaty's so far. Each one of these has been a harbinger of more troubles for everyone including the USA. With bated breath the intrigue begins even before the date is announced. There are two too many thorns on the bed of roses. Maybe even a one term administration.
30. Last leader maybe!!
peter vojta ,   czech republic   (08.31.10)
He loves Israel? He may be last leader of present form Israeli regime, bringing total destruction to Israel resp. Zionism for relief of most of Humanity.
