The Palestinians are not attending the peace negotiations because the constructions on their lands are not stopped. So Kerry has to go home if he cannot stop this problem.

Arabs build houses for Jews, around 30,000 of them work in Israel, as construction is their primary sources of income besides agriculture and begging for handouts. For a time, gaza arabs were employed by the Israel Electric Company at the Ashkelon power plant, where they caused hundreds of thousands of shekels in damage by their sabotage. Luckily, they decided an intifada was more important than earning a living for their families and were banished from working there. And life went on and the Ashkelon station and subsequent stations were built without them. Now, got anymore stupid comments?

Good Luck.

The bottom line is that we will have more than 2 million Jews in our ancestral heartland of Judea and Samaria within 20 years. We will have 1 million within 5 years. Evil Palestine is forever fictional.

You must be on drugs. Israel is going to annex Judea and Samaria, and on that great day, the Arabs residing therein will instantly become undesirable aliens, and will be repatriated to Jordan, country of their citizenship. As a sovereign state, Israel has every right to determine who may -- and who may not -- reside within its borders. Israeli citizenship for the Arab terrorist rabble in Judea and Samaria is not an option. Seven decades of ersatz "Palestinian" violence and terror have been more than enough, Bashar Daoud Suleiman ....

I think the poster at No. 25 was suggesting that the Jews will be forced to give up their homes in Judea and Samaria, and all the settlement construction will be handed over to the Arabs. Apart from the fact that his scenario will never happen, it is clear that the poster at No. 25 has no knowledge of what happened to the beautiful villas, apartment buildings, parks and greenhouses that Israel left intact in Gush Qatif. Within twenty-four hours of the withdrawal from Gaza, the place looked like a pigsty. And it has only gotten worse. I guess the poster at No. 25 has likewise never seen a Bedouin "village." Filth and squalor. The poster at No. 25 clearly also knows absolutely nothing about what Judea and Samaria looked like when Israel took over the West Bank in 1967. He does not know that there were no paved roads. He does not know that sewage ran raw in the streets. He does not know that constant outbreaks of cholera claimed thousands of lives annually. He does not know that there were no universities. He does not know that there was no irrigation technology. He does not know that only 20 percent of homes had running water and fewer than that had electricity. He does not know that there were no medical clinics and only one hospital -- the Hadassah Hospital enclave on Mount Scopus. He does not know that Israel fixed all that, and more. He does not know that well-paying jobs in Israel were available to any Arab that wanted one. He does not know that when the Arabs were given autonomy, everything in the areas they control started to go exactly back to the way it was. Frankly -- the poster at No. 25 does not seem to know much of anything at all.

Ever been to "their lands"? Can you even find "their lands" on a map? Since you so enjoy milking that rich, fat American cow, don't you think you could at least devote your time to learning English instead of posting your garbage here?

David Ben Shlomo or Shlomo Ben David. It is your response that made me wonder about your name. Thanks? For what?

The ersatz "Palestinians" lost six wars, Harold. They do not get to set terms and conditions for anything. And it isn't their land -- it's ours. Always has been. Illegal squatters have no rights, and Judea and Samaria are nonsovereign territories, acquired by Israel in the course of fighting a defensive war against Jordan. The land is Israel's to settle, keep and even annex. And that is precisely what is going to happen, and the ersatz "Palestinians" will get exactly what they deserve -- repatriation to Jordan, and a hale and hearty good riddance.

Very simple. End the obscene flow of Israeli food, materials, money and electricity to evil Fictional Palestine. "Palestinians" would soon beg to leave our land.

So long as the Arabs are bent in destroying Israel existance and denying the Holocaust in there arrogance - there will be No Peace in our Life Time - I just cant see it hapening - No way! - If Peace ever come between Israel and the palestinians - That will be the Greatest God Given Miracle - I believe it when I see it

BDS = Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions He thinks he's being clever. He also thinks that Israel will be forced to leave Judea and Samaria and give up their homes and that the Arabs will take them over. Q.E.D., neither clever nor intelligent!

obama now must unilaterally put an end to the global war on the jewish state of Israel.

stop pretending that al qaeda is defeated, that iran is not building nuclear bombs, that syria is not the battleground between shia and sunni terror forces, that iraq is not falling apart, that russia is not taking over the middle east, that islamic terror is not hitting in the hearts of western nations, that israel is the cause of all problems in the world.

that the "palestinians", if they are corrupt enough to be rich enough, build for themselves. I have seen a 5 story...castle is the only way to describe it, built into the side of a hill, in an arab village in Samaria. And the villas in Ramallah...most Israelis; or Americans, Belgians, Germans, whocareswho...could only dream of owning houses like these. I was there 2 weeks after the 2 Israeli soldiers were LYNCHED BY "PALESTINIANS", murdered, their bodies torn to shreds and tossed from the windows like garbage and everything filmed and shown on TV. I would have loved to have the honor of throwing a phosphorous grenade into each one of those villas.

we're not too sure about our own leadership either. During past 17 years people that we thought were just like us: Israelis thinking of our own best interests, had been leading us along the Oslo-path, almost down the Abyss. I am less and less inclined to trust the present Knesset motley crew.

I dont think im trying to be anything, I was simply replying to the comment before mine with the same answer( you dont recognize palestinians, how do you expect them to recognize Israel as a state?). It is obvious from all the comments on here that israelis are full of hatred and evil bloody wishes for palestinians. People can build castles in the west bank because building permits and materials and land is cheaper.

Mr. Secretary, how the hell do you make peace with a people who don't want peace? If the Palestinians really wanted peace they could have had it with Rabin, Barak and Olmert. But no, peace doesn't suit them because they won't be able to blame Israel for everything! Please tell us, Mr. Secretary, how do you make peace with a people who cut the throats of little children asleep in their beds? Actually, tell that to the Vogel family or what's left of them!

You can build a castle for pigs, too, but at the end of the day, the castle is still inhabited by swine. I know what you mean, though. Ostentatious conspicuous consumption. And to think that before 1967, most of them lived in ramshackle huts with no electricity and no running water! When Judea and Samaria are annexed, they are going to miss Israel far, far more than we will miss them.

occupying european-jews are.

Kerry does not come close to the competence and genius of Kissinger. And he thinks he can solve the most complex problem in the region. Simplistic solution to complex problems is insanity. There can be no peace with Islamist-Jihadism whose goal is to subdue the whole world and turn it into the world of Islam called Dar Al Islam. Does Kerry know it? No. Obama the Islamist is simply pushing him to do the dirty work of usurping the Land of Israel for the Islamist-Jihadists/Usurpers who originated from Arabia in the 7th century.

Listen here, young lady: we will be Israeli citizens and there is NOTHING in the world that will force us to leave our homes. We will be Israelis, with full rights and a nice seat at the Knesset. If you are so sure about your proposal, concerning Jordan, just do it. Just annex the West Bank and you will see how spectacular this country will be. Go ahead, annex it!! We are dying for that, young lady. You are not that smart, are you?

tell us how to govern our only Jewish state? We are bringing worse and worse upon ourselves by allowing this.

Actually, I never understood that. Is Israel obligated to feed them and provide them utilities for free? Is there payment involved?

Those of us that believed in the resurrection don’t think the land is enough to share with Palestinians because where will some resurrected live quietly as if they never died? Think of it Kerry if God allocated land for Himself it's for a purpose. John 5:28-29 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

It was given to him one Christmas eve in his capacity of Swift Boat Commander as it floated on a river that does not exist in Cambodia where he did not serve , while he was not there. And after throwing away another's medals, for a band-aid scratch and imersing himself in ketchup, he is back to share his wisdom. You *DO* know who he is don't you?

Israel must change its character, outgrow its fears and rely more on Hashem. No...not Tzahal, the instrument of Hashem, but Hashem. We should all reduce the violence, murder and begin loving each other as one family, work so that no child goes hungry in Israel. These goyim will soon tell us how much we may worship and whom to worship if the mentality and character is not changed soon. Read # 55. See what I mean.
