BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (06.28.13)
We know who are what you are Kerry Demands That Israel Free Incarcerated Palestinian Terrorists As a Good Will Gesture On April 24, 2013, Kerry and the Obama administration—in an effort to revive Israeli-Palestinian negotiations on a peace settlement—demanded that Israel release a number of Palestinian terrorists from Israeli prisons as a good will gesture to the Palestinian Authority (PA). At the time, PA president Mahmoud Abbas's preconditions for resuming negotiations were the same as they had been for years: (a) Israel committing beforehand to a withdrawal to indefensible borders; (b) an end to Jewish building in Judea, Samaria, and parts of Jerusalem; and (c) Israel releasing Palestinian terrorists from prison.
4. Only Obama can end Israeli Occupation with UNSC '67 borders
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (06.28.13)

Lucky for Israel Obama isn't their leader. Obama would be challanged to find his rear end using both hands. Perhaps he should stick to something he is good at like covering for Eric Holder when he gets caught running guns to Mexican drug lords. He has proven he can do that.
6. The Kerry's circus continues...

11. Obama/Kerry want to turn Israel into Egypt
Steve   (06.29.13)
12. Kerry should shuttle between the opposing sides in Egypt
CJK   (06.29.13)
the constant chaos and revolutionary fervor in egypt is one of the dangers enveloping the middle east.
13. Negotiations
Joe Mevorah ,   Lincoln, USA   (06.29.13)
As Mercutio states in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet "Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!" Shakespeare was bright. These negotiations are purposely vague at best, and cheap public relation stunts on both sides.
14. No7 which Jewish state?
(06.28.13)
What's a Jewish state?
15. Kerry ought to familiar himself with this astute observation
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (06.29.13)
by a very wise person: "When the Arabs put down their weapons, peace will reign. When Israel puts down its weapons (defenses, JBI), there won't be an Israel". Mr. Kerry, please take this to heart! It was observed by one of Israel's finest diplomats, the late Mr. Abba Eban decades ago, and the essence of the observation, sadly, continues to hold truth.
16. only reason PA will talk is cause EU threatened to cut funds
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (06.29.13)
17. How does a nobody like this get into a position like this?
Benoa   (06.29.13)
Is it because of his wife notorious left-wing looneybird Theresa Heinz who is a multi-billionarie and runs the looney left-wing tides foundation?
18. Borders must be based on Balfour Dec - not any '67 fiction.

19. #4,7-Funny indeed: WE should be asking for recognition from
tom ,   tel aviv   (06.29.13)
the nonexisting "Palis"?! Are you hearing yourselves? There should be end to all Arab claims to the Land of Israel. If they don't like it, too bad. There would be lot of screaming , so what?
20. Kerry's mission appears to be doomed, now that the PLO head
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (06.29.13)
has refused to sit down and talk with Israel, again, directly and without any preconditions. The parties agreed, formally, some time ago, to hold peace talks directly and without preconditions, and on the basis of UN Security Council 242, 1967. Yet, while Israel has been sitting at the table, ready to resume the talks, and even more eager to achieve an accommodation of peaceful coexistence between Arab and Jew, between the Muslim-Arab world, local and regional, and the sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people, Israel; the Arabs have used every single excuse in the book to avoid fulfilling their commitment. Indeed, they have began publishing new editions of the book, consisting of new tricks. Let us hope the world out there realize whom we, the Jews, face....!!
