1. Nothing to do if Pals can't accept Jewish majority Israel
Sam ,   Canada   (04.04.13)
The US can supply some money. Israel can show some flexibility on the core issues. However, all the speeches are for nothing if the Palestinians reject living next o a Jewish majority Israel. That is the bottom line.
2. Emanuel Rosen is contemptible
Sidney ,   USA   (04.04.13)
I was one of the GIs serving at the time of the Hiroshima bomb. It may have saved my life and those of thousands of others like me as well as Japanese lives. It is easy for an arm chaired "humanitarian" like Rosen to call it "a barbaric act of dropping atom bombs on Japan " and say that we should have died instead.
3. Manipulating the Gravity mass
Zechariah   (04.04.13)
How to steer the masses is the great leadership skill. Abbas and Obama are struggling Netanyahu has more popular support as PM almost 60 % Know he's the Stabilizer but can he deliver the Demiltirized Palestinian state in an area near the June 4 1967 borders and can Abbas accept.Convulsions around have caused the Jews to favour the status quo and Obama has allowed the convulsions to occur knowingly or by mistakes.Abbas is the figurehead of moderation and Reality but Iran Syria Eygpt and now North Korea Postpone everything.

5. Making History
bob ,   YERUSHALAYIM   (04.04.13)
This simplistic dribble is nauseating. Yeah, the Jews made history: when their temples were destroyed, made history when they were expelled from European countries one at a time, they made history when they were killed by the millions by the Europeans, then we then made history in the hundreds of pogroms against us. But finally B"H, we made history by destroying 5+ arab army's in 1948, 1967, 1973, signing Oslo, Wye, pulling out of Lebanon and Gaza. I think it's time for us to sit out history for a while and watch the rest of the world pass us by as they destroy themselves and each other for a change, BE"H!
6. Whoa! Hold on there!
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (04.04.13)
The premise upon which this 'author' begins is flawed beyond reason, America did use the bomb on Japan after being viciously attacked on December 7th, 1941. That decision they estimated saved over 1 million allied troops lives had the bomb not have been dropped. The only object of war is victory. That is never accompanied by an apology. He asks us to believe the unbelievable.
7. # 3 What?
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (04.04.13)
"Abbas is the figurehead of moderation and reality......" I do believe that Bibi would rather die instantly of a massive heart attack than to cede an inch of Israel to any pal entity, period.
8. Only a fool goes to the movies to learn history
Sidney ,   USA   (04.04.13)
No country in history has done more for the "common man" than the USA.
9. Who cares about making history?
Rachel ,   US   (04.04.13)
Israeli leaders need to do what's right for Israel period.
10.  No sweet talk behind closed doors..
Nora Tel Aviv   (04.04.13)
All that sweet talk used by Obama is directed mainly to the young israelis., not to Netanyahu. Once behind closed doors, Obama and Netanyahu will only use the language of mutual interests. Obama will insist that not one American soldier must dye if there is no American interest. While Netanyahu will try to convince him that, in the ME conflict, American soldiers dying for Israel ,dye mainly for American interests.
11. Oliver Stone
Harold F ,   Signal Hill CA   (04.04.13)
Why is Oliver Stone who produced that abomination JFK regarded as a legitimate historian?
12. The Craziest Act Of War In History
Brett ,   Florida   (04.04.13)
Foolish Rosen. I thought you were going to say, it was the American carpet bombing of German cities. I guess you don't think it's crazy to make phone calls to to your enemy, warning them of an upcoming attack? Maybe YOU could start doing something, go to gaza and offer your hand in peace, or, take the shorter trip to ramallah.
13. Only egoists care about making history... We need leaders
Dora ,   Israel   (04.04.13)
who prefer true and lasting peace (to the extent that is possible) based on REALITY.
14. #11. Harold: Birds of a feather...Oliver Stone
Tom W ,   USA   (04.05.13)
It's a common knowledge that Oliver Stone is an avowed communist - or a sympathizer to say the least - so no wonder the author of this missive has a soft spot for leftist comrades. It's well documented fact that Hollywood is full of "Limousine Marxist (liberals)" hence the axiom of the flocking birds.
15. Real peace comes only through total Israeli victory.
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.05.13)
There will only be peace when Israel stops pretending the genocidal P.A. are "peace partners" and destroys it. Peace depends on total Israeli victory with no concessions whatsoever. Just as the Allies created permanent peace in Europe and Asia by pummelling the Nazis to unconditional surrender. There is nothing to talk to "Palestinian" poseurs about except their permanent departure from our land.
16. Hollywood trying to destroy the old American nation
(04.07.13)
they are trying either consciously or unconsciously to destroy the traditional nation of America by poisoning the minds of its children and turning them against the traditional white nation of America. But , as Rosen says, what goes around comes around. Hollywood should be very afraid because traditional America has had enough.
17. What exactly should they do?
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (04.07.13)
When you get to the point, you then stop without saying what exactly you think they should do. Sadly we have no easy answers, or even difficult answers.
