1. BS works miracles on Americans, why not here?
American-Israeli Jew ,   Israel   (03.21.13)
Red-white-blue man speak with forked tongue. Yesteryear, one could fool some of the people all of the time or all of the people some of the time. Only in recent decades has the intellect of the peoples so declined that, today, one can one fool all of the people all of the time.
2. Even Mr. Obama has come to realize that when the Palestine..
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (03.21.13)
...Liberation Organization (PLO), finally, accepts Israel's RIGHT to be, to exist as the SOVEREIGN NATION-STATE OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE; and, when the PLO finally agrees to accept a peace treaty as the END OF THE CONFLICT and the END OF ALL FUTURE DEMANDS, then and only then will there be a basis for an accommodation between Israel and the Arabs of Eretz Israel (Land of Israel) of peaceful coexistence, not before!!
3. Palestinians
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (03.21.13)
They already have a state. It's called Jordan.
4. Spin..Its allabout spin..smile and show him on his way a
Al   (03.21.13)
complete waste of time and money. Obama is a nothing, has been and will be a nothing till the end of his days. Americas best days have passed her by.
5. Obama: Palestinians deserve state WHY ?
trump   (03.21.13)
For G.d sake, WHY ???????
6. Peace can be achieved
Jacob Edelman ,   Burke,USA   (03.21.13)
Mr. President: Peace can be achieved if/when the US stops funding the construction of settlements indirectly and then takes a break from subordinating the US national interests to those of Israel in the Middle East. Then may be the US will have real friends on both sides to move the peace process forward .
7. But Where?
emanon ,   USA   (03.21.13)
As long as the border is contiguous with Israel, the homicide bombings, rocket attacks, sniping and other terror attacks will continue unabated. As long as their charter calls for the dissolution of Israel and the elimination of Jews from the world, there can be no hope of a peaceful nation involving these people, wherever it is located.
8. # 5 trump Why?
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (03.21.13)
Because bowing obama has an agenda to do as he's told from his King. We see how well that's worked for him. obama's not only stupid he's a fool.
9. When will world realize a contiguous Palestinian state
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NY   (03.21.13)
Please leaders look at a map When will world realize a contiguous Palestinian state is not possible because Gaza will always be separated from the rest of Palestine by almost 100 miles? Even if Israel builds in E1 the rest of the "West Bank" will be contiguous, but shaped like the letter C.
10. Obama
(03.21.13)
Why hasn't president Obama asked the russians to return the annexed parts of their allies that is poland czechslovakia roumania & not allies japan that they conquered after winning the war. I am told that the country winning a war sets their priorities why can't israel?
11. What wasn't written : Obama didn't visit Arafat's grave
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (03.21.13)
Apparently he also sees him as nothing more than just a murderer.
12. listen to what he said....
Mordechai ,   Beit Shemesh   (03.21.13)
What "Obama said in Ramallah is quite simple; you lost in '67, face up to it, the long you take to do so the less you are likely to get back. The loser cannot make demands as the winner only has to ignore them. In this case the winner does want a settlement but it will say what the terms will be, not the loser. That was Obama's message and Abu Mazen understood immediately, that is why he responded as he did and in the tone that he did. He and his people are still not prepared to face the reality.
13. what about
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (03.21.13)
For some unknown reason the Arab nation "deserve" another state. What about the Kurds, do they deserve a state? They don't have even one. What about the Tibetans, do they deserve a state? The Catalan? The Roma?
14. To: Noodles at No. 11
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.21.13)
What would be the point? Arafat (may his name be cursed throughout eternity) is being dissected in Europe. Gee, it's been a while, hasn't it? What's taking them so long?
15. What's the matter?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.21.13)
Jordan and Gaza aren't enough? Greedy land grabbers, aren't they? Pretty nervy, too, considering their dismal history of lost wars of aggression, violence, terror, intifadas .....
16. state
jazz ,   usa   (03.21.13)
jews they already have a state it's called GERMANY, USA HAHAHA
17. MAP
jazz ,   usa   (03.21.13)
WHEN WEST REALIZED DIVIDE PALESTINE AND CREATED ISREAL FOR BLUDY JEWS . I THINK THERE WHERE ONLY PALESTINE FOR EVER
18. They dont !!!.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (03.21.13)
19. They don't deserve crap
Alex ,   Minneapolis, MN   (03.21.13)
Arabs and Muslims have planty of states look at the map. So refugees from Jordan and Egypt deserve a state and they need land from a only tiny Jewish nation. I would not give them anything at all. I would do a complete opposit. Send them back to the countries of their origin and expand Israel. Arabs/Muslims have enough states. Isreal should not give them anything at all.
20. But but but Obama made the settlement freeze #1 condition
Alan ,   SA   (03.21.13)
Before he was inaugurated not one Pal even thought to make it a condition!!
21. I wonder if Obama asked Abbas to repeat these words:
A ,   Belgium   (03.21.13)
"I, Mahmoud Abbas, terrorist, holocasut denier and imaginary "president" of the imaginary state of "palestine", hereby declare before the President of the United States of Amaerica and the world, that I recognize the Jewish State of Israels' right to exist in peace and security." If Obama could do that, he might be considered a great president. Abbas, on the other hand, would probably choke on his own words and drop dead at Obamas' feet.
22.  Jazz
Alex ,   Minneapolis, MN   (03.21.13)
Don't you have a uneployment line to stand in? These issues are above your pay grade. Leave the commenting to the adults.
23. "Palestinians" deserve a push to Jordan.
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.21.13)
Israel has already ceded almost 80% of our land to form Jordan. "Palestinians" deserve a push to Jordan. The only excuse Israel ever has for giving money to "Palestinians" is to get them out of our land forever.
24. yes....In Jordan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anna M Sedda ,   Rome   (03.21.13)
palestinians deserve a state,i agree..in Jordan!!!!!!!!!!
25. Abbas Lets not tie ourselves with preconditions
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (03.21.13)
This simply invites COUNTER CONDITIONS and then round and round we go in ever decreasing circles When it comes to a Peace Deal its FAR BETTER that we ALL go with NOTHING RULED IN and NOTHING RULED OUT Once we start with a clean sheet it will suddenly produce new, creative, imaginative thinking - that could dramatically alter the course of the Peace Process to the benefit of all Abbas...The Palestinian Nation is with you
26. "Palestinians" DON'T deserve a state outside
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.21.13)
of Jordan !
27. PISS OFF, Barry Sotero !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.21.13)
28. #5 trump: Wht? Becuase they should get out of ours!
Dee Bee ,   Israel   (03.21.13)
What we don't want is a "One State Solution" with Arabs becoming the MAJORITY! Then Israel will become Palestine and Judenrein! Only a fool will even consider that "peace" will bring and end to terror but behind a secure and defensible border we can defend ourselves! We cannot protect isolated settlements indefinitely against thousands and even hubdreds of thousands of Arab marauders who worship death!
29. andtheir talk of mayrtom isnot adetriment
alan ash ,   ny   (03.21.13)
30. Obama must turn into the realities
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (03.21.13)
instead impossible dreams. If the USA helps a gigantic Arava Project to construct a channel between Red Sea and Dead sea with desalination plants the south Jordan area would be become a paradise. With enough irrigated fertile lands for millions of arabs. This would be the real solution of middle east conflict.
