1. Hillary - go home and take care of your own business...
PG ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (09.16.10)
You should be DEMANDING: 1. Release GILAD SHALIT who was kidnapped on Israeli soil 4 yrs ago. Have you forgotten about him in all discussions or would that upset "the other side". 2. Recognition of the State of Israel and its legitimate right to exist. Once those 2 primary and basic objectives are achieved you are welcome to come back. BIBI - THOSE ARE YOU 2 PRIMARY OBJECTIVES. And we have the right to build on our land. NO PRECONDITIONS!!!
2. PM's office denied this.
Wise Saba ,   Israel   (09.16.10)
Lets hope Bibi is strong enough to withstand all this pressure & say no.
3. NO PRECONDITIONS!
Barbara ,   New York   (09.16.10)
If a pre-condition was that the sun had to rise in the west instead of the east - and it actually rose in the west - they would find another excuse anyway to talk away - they would say that wasn't what they meant. Wake up and smell the coffee!!! They don't want pEAce - they only was pIEce and pIEce and pIEce. If they really wanted pEAce it would have happened years ago. ISRAEL WILL SURVIVE AND EXIST FOREVER.
4. Mrs. Clinton
Ricardo Macher ,   Karnei Shomron IL   (09.16.10)
Dear Mrs. Clinton is very happy to give away Israel and doesn't care about democratic elected part chart, she cares about what Abu Mazen may say. No "goodwill" gestures any more!!!! What if after 3 month he says again that he will leave the table if we resume construction? What would we get? Another 3 month moratorium? Please Mrs. Clinton, go back to the USA and stay there! You are not needed here!!! (you can take Mitchel with you!)
5. They had NINE months and sat on their hands, NO, just NO.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (09.16.10)
6. "U.S WANTS "
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (09.16.10)
And I want to be a billionaire in three months.Guess what ?? it aint going to happen .They can jolly well want..
7. Bibi : Go for this.
Yossi G. ,   Jerusalem   (09.16.10)
Then you can go home !
8. peace has no borders !!
Salma ,   Palestine   (09.16.10)
9. SETTLEMENTS R ILLEGAL, ISRAEL HAS NO RIGHT TO BUILD THEM ANY
SINGER ,   SINGAPORE   (09.16.10)
WAY!!!
10. 1 PG - This is Hillary's Business
Mark of Lewiston ,   Lewiston USA   (09.16.10)
1. Are you really suggesting that the US open talks with Hamas? That might be innovative, but your wingers wouldn't like it. Should we offer them statehood and a mutual defense treaty for Shalit. We're not holding the prisoners they want. 2. Abbas and Fatah have already recognized Israel. You haven't recognized Palestine yet. If you want that from Hamas, maybe you should offer them something they want. Go ahead and build on what your own government records say is not Israel or Israeli. That's what Caterpillar is for.
11. Hillary deception
Frank ,   Canada   (09.16.10)
The cause of the war is not territory but rejection of a Jewish state. Defining borders is not the solution. Hillary wants to create a terror state and claims this is peace.
12. Rights and wrongs
Steve ,   Liverpool, UK   (09.16.10)
Even if Israel DOES have a right to build, that doesn't mean it HAS to build. Perhaps it would be better to show some restraint (albeit not for the first time), in the interest of promoting trust and peace. Maybe it's worth a try. Could this be just one example of the "creative thinking" that has been spoken of?
13. Call for Referendum
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (09.16.10)
As a democratic country, we should demand that the Government present the public with the terms of any negotiations with the Arabs and present them to the public for a democratic vote before anything is agreed upon. Rabin, Peres, Barak et al have never believed in consulting with obviously stupid propeller-spinning public, and they all were willing to present the Arabs with our collective souls on a well-decorated Shiva platter. Shall we allow any Israeli government the right to unilaterally sacrifice this country to our enemies without enabling the public to vote?
14. The "just" another 3 months etc.
michael redbourn ,   Arad - Israel   (09.16.10)
What did Israel get for the voluntary 10 month freeze? Just a ten month delay in needed building.
15. #9 - please give a link to your claim!
michael redbourn ,   Arad - Israel   (09.16.10)
16. #12 - people have growing families, so there is a need ..
michael redbourn ,   Arad - Israel   (09.16.10)
Israel wants, and has always wanted peace. Sadly, Abbas can't offer it because he controls next to nothing and certainly not Gaza. He won't recognize Israel as a Jewish State because the problem is about religion and not land. Israel already offered over 93% on two separate occasions. The "peace talks" are really nothing more than a charade to please the Americans. The Arabs know it and Israel knows and the US ought to know it.
17. SINGER FROM SINGAPORE
JUDAH THE LION   (09.16.10)
NOT ILLEGAL TO BUILD ON YOUR OWN LAND.THE LAND OF ISRAEL INCLUDING JERUSALEM THE CAPITAL OF ISRAEL THE WHOLE WEST BANK IS THE LAND OF THE JEWS GIVEN TO THE JEWS BY OUR TRUE G D OUR FATHER.The land of the Palestinians is in ARABIA. ARAB + IA= ARABIA ARABIA- IA= ARAB VERY SIMPLE MATHMATICS
18. Salma peace has no borders
TAHRIR QUDS ALYAHUDI   (09.16.10)
no peace until we liberate all of the land of our ISRAEL. Land of Arabia is waiting for you.
19. Borders
Yehudi ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.16.10)
Israel's borders have already been set. Please refer to the Holy Bible authored by God.
20. So sad , But funny
Robert ,   farmington,usa   (09.16.10)
this is a good one its okay to build a mosque in new york city right next to the world trade center ,which no true american wants but it not okay to bulid homes in the land that was promised to he jews by god , plus its not america's land to give away or tell israel what they can and cant do , i would love to know what hillarys and mitchells combine iq is.... cant be high. may the lord forever bless the state of israel.

22. to #20
God's man ,   Somewhere   (09.16.10)

23. American 'wisdom"
Shalom ,   U.S.A.   (09.16.10)
American elections in three months. Think about.
24. agreement
colin   (09.16.10)
And again the uneducated courtesen of the islamic president of the USA with her lies and underhand dealing. Hillart must get out of the indian lands in america and stop bulding . Even the supreme courts ruled that the ground must be returned o the indians but owamma ,clinton ,.mitchell etc offer 600 million which the indians refused. Go and handle your american falsehoods and theft of indian ground. NOBODY CARES -,WANTS OR ASKED FOR THIS IDIOT TO BE HERE. Mind your own business first
25. First the U.S. midterms are coming...
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (09.16.10)
Then comes...nothing...
26. Let the PAL's freeze their settlement!
eliezer ,   jerusalem   (09.16.10)
27. Good offer, howerver Isreal rejects, wants to steal land
Belal ,   Atlanta, USA   (09.16.10)
EXcelant offer but Clinton, however this show the ill intention of the Israelis, it show clearly they want to steal more land, so 79 % of historic palestine is not enough for them, had there eyes set on the remaining 21 %.
28. Why do they say the settlements are Illegal
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (09.16.10)
The fact is we hear it that all the time. That the settlements are illegal? But are they? Where does it say that settlements are illegal? At times people quote official sounding Articles of this or that, but when you look it up, you find it doesn't apply. In fact the Oslo agreements signed in 1993 is the only legal agreement that exists between the Palestinians and Israel. Nowhere does it state in that agreement that the settlements are illegal. All the other mumbo jumbo that people write just does not apply. Now we can debate whether the settlements are an obstacle to peace? My opinion is they are just a myth, as far as an obstacle goes. After all, prior to 1967, there were NO settlements, yet we were at the same place as we are now! So to blame the settlements seems unlikely, just the current excuse, used now by the Palestinians. Again, why is the world more concerned about the settlements, than the daily violence against Israeli civilians. Why would building a house be more important than the murders that have already taken place? How is it that we have come to a place where the Palestinians get more concern over bricks and cement, than Israel, who have had their citizens murdered?
29. US Wants...
Nili   (09.16.10)
...along with the arab world for Israel to be destroyed. We fought the wars, we reclaimed and built on the land. To this day (pregnant) women and children are murdered in cold blood while Abbas calls for a "judenrein" state--but of course arabs must live in Israel. There is no peace partner because they will never accept peace. Abbas acknowledges Israel is there--but refuses to recognize it as a Jewish state--because they want it all. Bibi should just tell them all to take a hike.
30. non diplomatic translation
zionist forever   (09.16.10)
Obama intends to set borders in 3 months time. This whole deal is designed to be rushed so Obama can have a deal in the bag before the 2012 election. A settlement freeze agreement is very important now because during the midterms the last thing the Democrats can afford is Obama being hostile to Israel because Abbas is throwing a tantrum. Shas & UTJ have both said they will pull out the coalition if the freeze continues and National Union will probably follow. Likud have even said they will not support the budget if the freeze continues. Time for Obama & his puppet HIllary to learn the real world where you can do what the hell you like because you control Congress and you can just print a couple of billion dollars isn't how things work in the real world. Bibis is leader of a democracy and that means he can't do anything he wants because he wants to do it unlike Abbas who decides he wants to do something and does it. Bibi's premiership depends on holding a coalition together not on Obamas goodwill or threats of punishment. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD BARAK HUSSAIN
