1. "Demand"? From whom, and on what basis?
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (06.29.13)
If the PLO wants to achieve peace, come to the table and talk about peace. But, if you wish to extract concessions without talking peace, demand those concessions from others, not from your victims, the Jews. Enough is enough!! Peace-for-Peace, through direct talks, without preconditions, and on the basis of UN Security Council Resolution, 242, 1967.
2. Israel can't stoop any lower than this;
A ,   Belgium   (06.29.13)
" Israel has offered a series of financial gestures to the Palestinian Authority". BRIBES! And what if the "palestinians" accept Israels' bribes and still won't negotiate, will Israel demand their money back? Have to give those "palestinians" credit for one thing, though, they could suck money out of a rock.
3. If I had such a rich wife I wouldnt leave her to fly round
Alan ,   SA   (06.29.13)
the world for such long and many trips.
4. I just get a few cans of Baked Beans,not the factories
Alan ,   SA   (06.29.13)
5. Israel is not interested in peace
James ,   Canada   (06.29.13)
Israel has no interest in peace with the Palestinians--the only reason Netanyahu wants peace talks is to keep the international community off his back and to buy more time to expand settlements and ethnically-cleanse the Arabs from Area C and East Jerusalem. Abbas would be a fool to agree to this without some guarantees showing Israel is serious.
6. Israel
Mordechai ,   Beit Shemesh   (06.29.13)
Israel won in '67 they set the conditions for talks not the losers. That is what Kerry has to understand and tell the losers!
7. how about the Balfour Declaration ?
alsky ,   Toronto   (06.29.13)
isnt it time to return most of the land that Arab nations sit on to Israel ? Long overdue but then again we have politicians in Israel who are unable to speak the truth
8. An appeal to all Israeli patriots: End these sick talks NOW!
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.29.13)
Oslo "peace talks" sent more than 1,000 Jews to early graves and tens of thousands to wheel chairs. Yet the purpose of these talks is even worse. These "peace talks" are intended to turn Israel into a 9 mile wide concentration camp. I urge every Israeli patriot, every good Jew and every friend of Israel to DEMAND the complete permanent end of all talks with the genocidal terrorist P.A. End these sick talks NOW!
9. No, no and no
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.29.13)
No to prisoner release. No to recognition of pre-June 1967 borders. No to settlement construction freeze. Next? Abbas is not in a position to make demands. Unless and until he realizes this, and comes crawling to the State of Israel on his hands and knees -- no to everything. Get it? Good!
10. can not understand it....
les ,   canada   (06.29.13)
don't these "leaders" have something important to do? can't they understand that hitting your head against the wall hurts you and not the wall? come on guys, do something useful for a change. like eliminating iran's nukes.
11. p.a. says let our murders and violent
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (06.29.13)
citizen of our future state go free! After all they are only violent t Jews and infidels and they will be model pallywoodstian.
12. #1 & #2: the noose is tightening, you're starting to sweat!
Ramzi Jaber ,   Palestine   (06.29.13)
jew of israel, you're right enough is enough. Enough stealing my land. Enough murdering my people. Enough raping our freedom. a of belgium, do yourself a favour and stop putting Palestinians in quote. We exist and this is our land. Deal with it and stop aggrevating yourself and sounding like a simpleton fool lol. To both of you I say: 1S1P1V, one state, one person, one vote. That's where we're headed if you don't end your illegal zionist occupation now. So welcome to the free and democratic State of the Holy Land....... that is, if you qualify to live in it. Good luck with that my friends.
13. Mission impossible
Sam Sweiry ,   Eastbourne - UK   (06.29.13)
Come on - pre-condition or condition - never trust the Palestinans - they have there own agenda at UN - what a waste of time - I dont believe what i read - do you?
14. #5. Naivety and Ignorance are bad
norbus ,   Jerusalem   (06.29.13)
James; The issue is Muslim V Kuffar. Just as you can't paddle up Niagra Falls in a canoe, you will not be able to rewrite the Koran and what it teaches Muslims just yet. Leaders of Islam control it through ensuring ignorance , If anything Wahabis regressed to 7th Century. Your PM knows better. Go educate yourself
15. no pre-conditions under any circumstances
C   (06.29.13)
16. So let me get this straight...
Miracle Dog ,   Israel   (06.29.13)
In order to start talks towards creation of a hostile entity on Israeli land, Israel has offered to make financial gestures, and is expected to release terrorists from prison? Begin z"l must be turning in his grave.
17. Kerry doing the rounds
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.29.13)
He looks so unenthusiastic and indeed he should be. America is going to lose her influence and her grip on the middle east soon. Poor Sagi is saying to himself without America we are lost... Sagi, I hope you live long enough to see how wrong you are.
18. Stall Stall Stall
Martin ,   SA   (06.30.13)
Abass fears for his life He dare not make concessions He dare not negotiate one inch so stall 1 prisoners out 2 stop building 3 .....Stop breathing KERRY WAKE UP !11!!!! wake up smell the coffee then zzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
19. It is impossible to defend Israel...
Beary White ,   Norway   (06.30.13)
..within borders aligned with armistic lines from -67. And EVERYBODY knows the islamic followers have no intention to be peaceful in the future. Just look what happened in gaza after the withdrawel, it has become a rocket ramp for terrorists. Against the preconditions set by the pals, Israel should demand the pals to move form gaza into Jordan, a country especially ment for the islamic followers...
20. #19 Doing the "impossible" is nothing
On the Balcony ,   Akko/NY/Kyiv   (06.30.13)
new for us as anyone who speaks a word of modern Hebrew should understand. "Ane debar sh'omed lifnay harotzon. " Most settlement blocks and settlers are close enough to the and 1967 borders to negotiate. The simple sad truth is that greed, cynicism and distrust have sapped the will to hope and believe from many of us. Israel would not exist if we had allowed our hopes and beliefs to succumb to "reality." Achieving Peace will require even more of a will to believe.
21. #9 Sarrah B
Harold ,   USA   (06.30.13)
In September 2013 more countries will recognize the State of Palestine with the 1967 borders and the United State will do the same on September 2014. Who will say no no no then. I am sure it is going to be Sarrah only..
22. why bibi needs to be tough
Arnold ,   Montreal-Canada   (06.30.13)
I have watched 3 years of the Arab Spring and have seen that it has done little for the betterment of any of the countries. Be it Tunis, Yemen, Egypt, or Libya. Still there is sectarian hatred of Sunni vs Shia and they are both Muslims. So what chance is there for a Jewish State to defend itself from the Muslims who hate Jews more than each other. The only way is for Bibi to be sure that Israel retains her defensive borders. Gaza proved this yet the Israeli bashers sluff Gaza off. Bibi does not.
23. 21, so what
CJK   (06.30.13)
the lunatics might recognize a pal state but they cannot stop the ensuing millennial bloodshed.
24. Enough murderers released already.
Roland Seener ,   London England   (06.30.13)
25. #21 Harold
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.30.13)
When what you say actually happens than you will find all the countries of the west in the most desperate chaos they have ever experienced. Sarah may not have anything to say about it, but SomeONE will surely have something to say about it.
26. #21"Who will say no no no then"? I, for one!
A ,   Belgium   (06.30.13)
In the words of the late great PM Itzhaak Shamir..."NO, NO, and NO"! And there are many more who will say the same.
27. Israel exists because of the G-d of Israel period.
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!! ,   United States   (06.30.13)
Israel is an ancient land reborn by her returning, scattered Jews , as foretold by Israel's prophets and sages in the Torah. When the arabs had it they left it a mosquito breeding ground. When Israel turned Israel into her powerful destiny, it made the illiterate slug muslims furious. Too bad, it always belonged to Israel despite the insulting name fallen Rome put on her. pals/arabs/ muslims be gone from the Holy land or, be moved. KEEP BUILDING!!!!!
28. # 12 Ramzi Jaber So when are you moving to Gaza or Jordan?
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!! ,   United States   (06.30.13)
There is one Holy Land and one Israel, they are one. There is Mecca and all the Muslims. There's the Vatican for all catholics. And, there is hell for all liars and thieves that's reserved for the pals / muslims/arabs who can't seem to get enough blood of theirs, yours, and ours. Israel, KEEP BUILDING !!! The pals will leave.
29. # 13 Never trust a pal/muslim/arab.
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!! ,   United States   (06.30.13)
in 10 years not one pal will remain in Israel. HOORAY AND HALLELUJAH!!!!! KEEP BUILDING !!!!! The rest is history.
30. # 18 Martin re: STALL, STALL, STALL.
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!! ,   United States   (06.30.13)
Isn't that how arafat made his career by stalling? Good for israel stalling is better than surrendering to the shit assed terrorists pals. KEEP BUILDING !!!!! ( p.s. Kerry's in a coma, he's a Jew you know, too bad he doesn't.)
