The freeze on Jewish building in Judea and Samaria should continue. This will assist with unfolding the divinely mandated plan for the Holy Land. Many good and bad policy decisions can be made over the next 183 days leading up to May 16th, 2011. The leaders who make the decisions which best approximate the divine plan will be blessed. Trust makes the world go around.

...stupid Americans giving away the store in return for a delay in the theft of Arab land for three months.

...if no two State solution then the only alternative will be the one State solution.

The main obstacle is arab refusal to accept a jewish independent state in the area.Obama and mitchell are doing whatever they can to keep abbas and bibinegotiating . At some point, US will force a settlement on Israel to its disadvantage and it won't be on settlements. It will be on jerusalem, jordan valley and route across israel which would be suicide. In return, obama sweetens the pot by offering to veto delegitimization efforts at the Un which he should do anyways. Obama has sincere intentions but he is a basically arab in this thinking and wants a small israel surrounded by big arabs. it won't work . If Nasrollah unleashes 20,000 missiles on israel, one won't have to worry about west bank arabs as many will be hurt in the crossfire. liberman will be the next PM of Israel so abbas better cut his deal soon.

real jack***. He has no influence over them whatsoever and they are running rings around him. My goodness! Obama is shameless. How come he is so afraid to tackle the Pals? Because he is so weak and sniveling to the Arabs. He makes the Pals look real powerful. It is a real role reversal if there ever was one, with the most powerful country in the world looking weaker than a people who don't even have a country. Every American should take note of the posture of their president. The Pals are calling the shots for him and he is forcing Israel to give them presents. The d**n coward can bully Israel but he can't bully the Pals. The man is disgusting. His policies are not as good as he wanted us to believe. In all kindness to him, they are downright failures. He brought this on himself bragging that settlements must stop to get the attention of the Arab world and now, guess who has to bail him out- Israel. Obama encouraged this nonsense. This man is not a leader, he is a walking disaster.

The gate is open for the Pals to move to Happiness. "Jordan "

it is bad to be associated with criminals let alone protecting them . at the G 20 we saw how much the world has respect for us for supporting those bandits .

Quoting: The "US would also boost its resistance to the de-legitimization" of Israel, something the Obama adminstration should do at any rate. Is this US president not a wicked man? He is a Jew-hater to the depths of his Islam-loving / Israel-hating heart. And he is obsessed with the Jewish people building in our own land. It sadens me to see this prime minister waffling and wavering on fundamental, core Zionist issues. Why can't this prime minister be firm? It is very sad indeed.

Barack Obama is saying either freeze construction or lose the veto!

until the Palestinians achieve an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, the refugees return to their homes and lands and all prisoners are released from Israeli jail. “There will be no negotiations with settlements,” Abbas announced. “The Arab city of Jerusalem, including the holy sites, is an integral part of the 1967 occupied territories. Everybody knows that Jerusalem was occupied in 1967 and that any solution that does not include Jerusalem is not a solution.” (JPost, 11/12/2010). As a result of the Six Day War, Israel, in a war of self defense, gained all of Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, Sinai, the Gaza Strip, and Judea and Samaria. In fact, prior to 1967, Jordan had occupied the West Bank and Egypt had occupied the Gaza Strip; their presence in those territories was the result of their illegal invasion in 1948, in defiance of the UN Security Council. Jordan's 1950 annexation of the West Bank was recognized only by Great Britain and Pakistan and rejected by the vast majority of the international community, including the Arab states. International jurists generally draw a distinction between situations of "aggressive conquest" and territorial disputes that arise after a war of self-defense. Former US State Department Legal Advisor Stephen Schwebel, who later headed the International Court of Justice in the Hague, wrote in 1970 regarding Israel's case: Where the prior holder of territory had seized that territory unlawfully, the state which subsequently takes that territory in the lawful exercise of self-defense has, against that prior holder, better title. (Are the West Bank and Gaza "occupied territories" as Palestinain Arabs assert? palestinefacts.org). Abbas at Arafat memorial (YnetNews, 11/11/08): We'll continue to follow shahids' path: "The path of the shahids - Arafat, George Habash (founder of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine) and (assassinated Hamas spiritual leader) Sheikh Ahmed Yassin - is the path that we cherish; it is aimed at upholding the Palestinians' nationalist and sovereign resolutions."

and Apartheid, rules the Palestinian Authority. The Open Racism Of The Future State Of Palestine by Shmuel Trigano: The Palestinian Authority is building a racist regime based on the principle of establishing an apartheid between a Palestine untainted by Jewish blood and a mixed State of Israel. According to the draft constitution of the planned state, Palestine proper would be Arab and Islamic: "This constitution is based on the will of Palestinian-Arab people" (Article 1), "the Palestinian people are a part of the Arab and Islamic nation" (Article 2), "sovereignty belongs to the Palestinian Arab people" (Article 10), "the legal character of the Arab-Palestinian people will be embodied by the state" (Article 13), "Islam will be the official religion of the state" (Article 6). http://spme.net/cgi-bin/articles.cgi?ID=7279 Abbas: We won’t recognize Israel as Jewish state (YnetNews, 10.15.10). - and we will never recognize any part of Israel as a Muslim / Islamic state. Apartheid http://www.torahblogg.net/40186961

the settlements have been and will continue to be the biggest obstacle to peace with our palestinian neighbours and for what?? to please hard line settlers who want to interpret the Old testament literally? and want us tand our children and grandchildren to pay the price for that sort of extreme ideology. Its us the majority secular jews who pay the price not the settlers!! These settlements are a curse on Israel and we need to dismantle them now as a gesture of good well.

What will 'change in these three month that wasn't possible in the last 43 years........? NOTHING! People, who want to have peace MAKE Peace. The Pal's want a Proces, Money, Headlines...but no Peace. They have proved this over and over again. Just listen to their Arabic speeches, TV programs and reed their schoolbooks, teaching their 'new generations about the Peace they mean.

Bebe, go back to your havanah cigars and let a real yid with big cojones run the country

So why not, the Pals still won't come to th e table, asking for more conditions. Now watch all the anti-Israel writers misrepresent the 20 fighter jets as a give away. Remember it states "sell" 20 fighter jets to Israel. That creates jobs for U.S. citizens. So save the BS, U.S. is not giving "aid", Israel is buying the planes. For those who can't read.

No More Appeasement we get nothing out of deal US will break agreement http://tinyurl.com/25b7jpx

Obama will be asked to continue circumventing the UN to prevent int sanctions against Israel. The Goldstone report will have to be consigned to the dustbin, preventing any charges against Israel mass murderers. Murder by missiles during Cast lead and Israels Piracy and murder on the high seas. Netanyahu is negotiating to save HIS neck, nothing to do with freeze.

It's an interesting offer, but before considering it Bibi might have clarified with Mrs.Clinton the following issue: for what exactly reason BHO had kissed the Saudi monarch's hand during his first trip to the ME ?

So the US is threatening to stop doing what Israel has trusted us to do for decades now: defending them at the UN, affirming their right to exist and selling them military hardware. In exchange, Israel must agree to a freeze on construction in "disputed" territory in their own country. And Bibi is actually considering it? After promising his people that the 10-month freeze the US previously coerced would be a one-time freeze. Two months before the US election, the administration was pushing for a 2-month freeze. Now the price of not having the Obama administration abandon a 40-year friendship between our countries is increased to a 3-month freeze. And of course, the Administration has requested NOTHING of the "Palestinian" Arabs, and in fact will be deepening the US deficit in order to pay off the PA's deficit to the tune of 150 mil. Bibi, Obama is not your friend and is not giving you anything. Instead, he is helping your enemy and threatening to take away help for which Israel has been trusting the US for decades. Bibi, you _do_ have a spine; we've seen you use it before. Please use it now.

is the only solution for the region . an inch less will not be accepted . east Jerusalem is not negotiable as well .us and the world are sick of Israel ..trust me .

land to Israel and no matter who was squatting on it for how long, it still belongs to the Jews. If someone steals a car that was given to you, who owns the car, you or the thief that stole it?

Now that Abbas has got the US to sell out it's principles, will Bibi sell us out for a mess of pottage and empty promises ? We've seen this before. George W's letter anyone ? The US has sunk so low, can it ever rise again ? Not with this administration.

in exchange to have issue of settlements be left to Israel's discretion and once and for all too. Planes can be delivered to anybody of US choosing. Sensitive electronics will be stripped off the planes, of course.

SARAH B at??

take the scourge out of cabinet and send him mine uran in Ozirak

You can claim Santa Klaus gave you Palestine, you may also call Palestine Israel, but Israels legitimacy starts and ends within the border outlined within the Partition Plan (UN181) Non-semitic, est European pagan Chazar converts has neither blood nor historical link to Palestinian.

getting screwed over and over. No small wonder people give up and leave..Israel has no leaders worth a damn. These leaders are judenrat and nothing more. They will sell out the country in a NYC minute.
