There´ll be NO preconditions for talks. If the palestinians were serious about peacetalks they would not set up any such demands. They would instead be the party that would urge to negotiate WITHOUT preconditions.

peace, peace, peace, suddenly ...

If it is true then it is wonderfull news, its about time the squabbling, the mutual blame game for failure and the negotiations to begin negotiations ended and the nitty gritty of establishing the border between Israel and Palestine and establishing common security arrangements began, the conflict must be ended once and for all time and a better future for Israeli and Palestinian citizens and for the whole middle east must be established, extremeist messianic settler delusions of a greater Israel and extremeist Hamas delusions of a greater Palestine must be cast aside and the resentment of the past eliminated for the sake of what can be, above all there must be belief, compromise and effort to ensure that negotiations can and will suceed and they can suceed, If peace could be established in Ireland, the former Yugoslavia and Apartheid ended in South Africa then the Israeli-Arab conflict can be brought to an end with Israel secure and Palestine free and independent, this is the only desirable future for Israelis and Palestinians, the only alternative is never ending war and death and a new generation of Baruch Goldsteins and Child Suicide Bombers. Lets have hope that leaders on both sides have the maturity to achieve what is right.

As I Said Before Bibi And Livni are selling Israel and the Jewish People out

Israel pays and pays and pay for Bibi's cowardice. If this report is true, Bibi has betrayed Israel in a huge way. Bibi will have paved the way for another even worse version of the Oslo Catastrophe. We need a massive patriotic uprising to save Israel from Bibi's cowardice and stupidity.

Bibi and before him many other israeli leaders aware of the surrounding arab masses and like olmert, tried of constant fighting offer more concessions. They did not learn from hitler, barak, olmert. Bibi wishes to repeat the errors cause US applies inordinate pressure and bibi cannot take it. Wll, it is pathetic. Give up the bloody state, let arabs choke on it, and make emigration plans and finished.Bibi can go back to massachusetts and sell furniture. What country runs around saying it has the right to defend itself. Shut up. Defend and don't discuss your right. And if the UN comes in, block them. Israel has the means.

There are beautiful places around the world where this activity can be accompanied by nice natural excursions. To name a few: Uganda, Argentina, Australia. Take your pick!

The part of the paragraph from this article -on the bottom of the picture of Kerry and Netanayhu i do believe. The part of the paragraph from this article- on top of the picture of Kerry and Netanayhu I DO NOT believe.

David, how's Neverland Ranch?

However much i wish for peace and i believe in a two-state solution, I cannot accept that Israel has to agree to any preconditions to resume talks. If that is the case we require from the Arab League that they clearly and unaquivicably confirm that Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish & Democratic State

Abbas can talk to the wind....

Prisoner release? Construction halt? Did Bibi not understand what a 'precondition' is? No more 'goodwill gestures.' They have never proven to be helpful. If anything, Abbas must show Israel some goodwill by halting Israeli demonization in PA children's TV programming and school lessons. Until that simple task is done, we have nothing to say to Abbas, the usurper of a true elected leader. If Bibi allows preconditions, his government should fall.

give the "palestinians" their own state. In a few years, maybe less, they will only be doing what arabs do best, which is killing each other, Than the problem will be solved and there will be no more need to talk about the fantasyland called "palestine".

leadership when it is ALWAYS Israel that gives in-Gaza,Lebanon and likely Judea and Samaris for which we will get rockets - just as before

Nothing is confirmed here. This is all hearsay. Good ole' Dave sounds like he went into some kind of new age trance as if the Messiah had come..

This is where the entire story becomes worthless and worth ignoring.

Dave especially enjoys the monkeys on the ranch that is when he is not busy cuddling up to the King of Pop. Jamoni...

Assume, just for a moment, that this 'peace' process succeeds 100%. What would be the ultimate result? The firming up of the alliance of the "king of the South" for the purpose of waging war against the "king of the North", as Prophesied in Chapter 11, verse 40-45 of the Book of Daniel. Why not just be honest and call this 'peace' process Phase I of the Battle of Armageddon? Michael

Let's just hope that peace ensues. Peace benefits all, the Palestinians and the Israelis. Peace, not the status quo, is the only thing that will bring security for Israel. Afterwards, we will fight side by side the extremists on both sides. Give peace a chance for once..

is the release of prisoners. That can not be undone. As for the rest of the terms, they won't matter because we know the Palestinians and Abbas will never agree to peace with a Jewish state.

" Israel to freeze settlements, release prisoners, define borders" OK, now what have the Palestinians compromised on ahead of these 'Peace Talks'?

one for israelis the other for the left wing scum that is trying to destroy us. Arabs, they are nothing but a pimple on our butts and should be lanced. Dave Clarke, loved your music, maybe you sould stick with that and stay out of politics. You are obviously a victim of BBC etc. With no knowledge of history, politics, etc etc you are simply an idiot and your opinions have no basis. And remember idiots, an opinion based on false facts is still false, regardless of how you want to beleive, in your opinion,the world is flat. I favor a revolution, but we will never get there. I do believe that we cannot live near these people, both arabs and leftist, due to all our differneces. We believe in living and they believe in death!

Kerry: "Sit down and shut up. I'm not Hillary, ya know. And I'm not intimidated by your 160 IQ, your Sayeret Matkal and MIT background or the fact that you're better articulated than most US Congressmen and Senators". Bibi: "So, what's your plan?" Kerry: "The President is not happy with the lack of progress. We thought our man, Yair, would come through for us by now but he's about as useless as Olmert was for us. We don't have a lot of time left. We explained to you numerous times that the President wants to have a Palestinian State declared before he leaves office. You haven't been very helpful." Bibi:"With all due respect Mr. Secretary, it's hard to convince Israelis that a Palestinian State is in their best interest. Believe me, I'm trying...I have the all the newspapers, both TV channels, ex-Shin Bet and Mossad chiefs and nearly all of our celebrities cheering on the idea. We even had the outgoing British Ambassador to Israel, a Jew, write an Op-Ed in yesterday's yNet endorsing the idea. Have your boys read some of the comments to his op-ed? Unfortunately, there isn't much support right now." Kerry: "Look, Bibi... you read the newspapers. I don't have to tell you that come hell or high water, you *will* play ball with us. We have stacks of dirt on you, your advisers, your associates. It's not a pretty picture. Who knows what could wind up on Wikileaks these days. Did you really think all those super computers under Fort Meade were only listening in on terrorist phone calls?" Bibi:"OK, OK, John... I'll get on it right away. Between the President and giving the Tycoons what I promised them, I have my hands full right now." Kerry:"How many times do we have to tell you? Our interests - before the Tycoons - get it?" Bibi:"Yes Sir". Kerry:"Good, now smile and shake hands for the cameras and don't forget to where a tie next time we meet."

This fifth trip of John Kerry to the Middle East should be the last trip and if he fails then the problem has to be referred to the United Nations to issue the final decision and clean this 47 years old mess.

will bb surrender to the barbarians?

Its greatly Ironic isn't it that you of all people are accusing me of having new age messianic religious delusions, you Dror, of all people, should know what new age messianic religious delusions are all about, especially as you are someone who regularly spouts off on Ynet your extremist and racist messianic religious delusions about a greater Israel from the Tigris to the Euphrates and God given land and expulsion of Arabs and how the mashiach will come when all the West Bank is colonised and the Palestinians expunged. As if god was an estate agent and a racist. The fact that you cant debate properly and have a sensible discussion about the subject of Israeli-Palestinian peace and have to resort to making childish insults and ridiculous references to Michael Jackson shows that you are the one who is driven by fanatical delusions, not I.
