1. Where is Mr. Peres' right hand in the main photograph
Talula ,   Israel   (09.15.10)
And why does Hilary look like she's been startled?
2. PEACE TALK OR "PIECE TALK"
matthew 28:19 ,   singapore   (09.15.10)
PEACE SHOULD BE PROVIDED FREELY FIRST BEFORE ANY TALK FROM BOTH SIDE. 'Peace' talk itself is a wrong concept from moment it started. If any side cannot provide peace freely, that side is disqualified for talking, talk should not even start at all before anyone come clean and fair. 'Peace' is something we must give as human being sharing this planet earth, it not something we should use as bargain for land, esp. using terrorism to threaten for land. This is no different from Mafia world where gangsters go round threatening peace in exchange for money (in this situation: land). Peace should be given freely, by curbing the terrorism, then can both party go to the table and talk about land-dividing. The pals have basically nothing to give in this talk, but Israel has to give chunks of land, it is truly not a 'ONE EXCHANGE FOR ONE' case, it is simply a 'Israel GIVE exchange for Palestinians not to TAKE (take life by terrorism)" case. So one must Give in order for the other party not to TAKE. Don’t make sense!!! Israel is only talking of half of the Pals (Abbas can't even make peace with Hamas or control Hamas). even if Israel give up E Jerusalem, Hamas can turn around and demand Haifa & full refugees-return. Abbas must make Hamas promise peace first, then he is qualify to go to the table. in the end, it will still be 1 Jewish + 2 arab states! when peace is achieve by dividing Jerusalem, it is just "PIECE TALK" ynet, kindly post, many thanks.
3. What happend during the 10 month moratorium?
michael redbourn ,   Arad - Israel   (09.15.10)
Israel lost 10 months of building time and gained nothing. The PA, who don't want and can't deliver anything except maybe pizza refused to talk during the ten month moratorium on building. Clinton should ask Lieberman what he thinks about the talks and she will get a straight and honest answer. "They're a charade!".
4. I PRAY TOO
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (09.15.10)
I pray that the Clintons retire soon ,and happily ,and go to live on a desert island somewhere far away .I pray that I no longer have to see her fat mug and stupid self-satisfied smirk .Perhaps they can take Bibi to the desert island with them .
5. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (09.15.10)
Clinton ,and Rain ?? Answer : We say "Rain rain go away , come back another day ." whereas with Hillary we just pray : GO AWAY and don't come back...
6. What a farce indeed!!
Salma ,   Palestine   (09.15.10)
Is that what the world is expecting from you Mrs U.S. Secretary of state ?!! PRAYING!!!!
7. #5 Don't give up your day job
Talula ,   Israel   (09.15.10)
8. I PRAY FOR PISS
UNCLE SHIMON ,   JERUSALEM   (09.15.10)
9. There are only two core issues: 1) Israel's LEGITIMACY, its
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (09.15.10)
RIGHT to be, to exist as the nation-state of the Jewish people. Without accepting Israel's right to exist as the nation-state of the Jewish people the Muslim-Arab world, local and regional, can forget to even setting up a state on territories presently under Israel's control 2) Israel's national interests of which first and foremost Israel's security needs. A tiny country that has had to respond to wars initiated against it by coalitions of Muslim-Arab countries a number of times with the aim of wiping it off the face of earth; one that is still facing the coalition of Iran-Hizballah-IslamicJihad-Hamas-Syria and later on possibly Iraq and Turkey, let alone the local armed gangs, can't afford not dong all that is possible to defend itself.
10. #6 - what do you expect from Clinton?
michael redbourn ,   Arad - Israel   (09.15.10)
The US can't force Israel to do anything. And US political power is in fast decline because of its financial collapse. Israel now looks to the Far East which is the future. I believe in prayer; don't you? Michael
11. There is an aternative
Raphy ,   Montreal   (09.15.10)
Shimon Peres said: 'There is no other alternative' means that 'we don't want the Third Temple'. Mr. Peres, the Third Temple is coming and Obama can't stop it !
12. To these people are you groveling?
m   (09.15.10)
"The Palestinian Authority has publicly labeled Jewish worship at the Western Wall to be “sin and filth” in a television program broadcast in Arabic on Rosh HaShanah, the Jewish New Year."
13. Having an affair with Jewish President ?
Jack ,   Canada   (09.15.10)
So this is the way of getting back at hub's affair with Monica.
14. peace or piece?
Jennie ,   US/Israel   (09.15.10)
Peace is not even on the horizon and will never be...But again as always, the palis begin the thought of the release of their prisoners in Israel without even feeling a need to do a return positive step, such as an immediate release of Gilad Shalit...Why? ..Israel should not even let them open their mouth without having Gilad back home first..What a Hutzpa ! But Israel is to blame for it. How long will Israeli people allow Peres be the boot licker and Bibi the Yes-man of hillary..Why would this time the business of "grappling with core issues"be more then "palavra" of 60 years ? Why should Israel settlements? To who that land belong now ? To which country? Peres should retire immediately,Bibi needs either grow some spine and get a reality check or step aside....People need to get the grip of the situtation and take charge and show strenghts...Lack of strenghts is the cause of all broblems.
15. about # 9
Jennie ,   Us?Israel   (09.15.10)
I want to suggest a campaign for electing Jehuda Ben-Israel in Qatzrin, for Prime Minister of Israel ! He is indeed a real patriot and there must plenty Israelis who share his opinion. He is smart, has currage to tell like it is, knows his history and is a real son of Israel. Kol Hacavod !
