31. Phew... Sigh of relief
Israel   (06.30.13)
Props to Bibi for not giving in. Palestine does not want peace, it was to destroy Israel.
32. Kobi: Americans 'occupy' Texas, N. Carolina, Fla., Geo...,
Steve   (06.30.13)
India "occupies" Pakistan's Kashmir. China "occupies" Tibet. Russia "occupies" Chechnya. John Kerry's home state, how much land do the Wampanoag people, the Naumkeag people, the Massachusett people, the Nipmuc Nation have today? Kerry's forebears took all these people's land. Kerry and his white European neighbors occupy their lands. Now then, John Kerry comes to Israel and he wants to take our land.
33. #18
Israel Winicki ,   Beer Sheba-Israel   (06.30.13)
Sorry, but you are a dreamer. The only thing tha the Pals want is ALL. Wake up. If the Jews leave Iehuda and Shomron, in a year we have the Pals in Tel Aviv.
34. Big Mouth!!!
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.30.13)
Bow wow wow ... Bow Wow wow ... Big Loud barks Arfarfarf ARF ARF!! ARF!! Here the big mouth roar....chhh chhh chh. When the sanctions hit you will be the first to go. I am staying until the end..
35. Progress?
albert snow ,   sweden   (06.30.13)
Everybody exept Kerry & Obama knows this is a show that´ll fail. The PA don´t want to negotiate but want US dollars. So when negotiations breaking down they will go to the UN once again for recognition blaming Israel for the failures, and then Israel will take unilateral steps to annex area C and make all security measures needed to protect the jewish state. There´ll be no peace until the day the arabs accept Israel as a jewish state. So Israelis, pepare for many years of arab hostilities.

Israel is not committing "genocide" against the Palestinians. Were the Palestinians in a position of power over the Jews (as the Jews are presently), I suspect we might see genocide or something approximating it. We would most certainly see millions of subjugated Jews. Israel, notwithstanding what Jew-haters assert, is not an Apartheid state like South Africa. The primary reason there is separation (especially in the 'West Bank') is due to decades of violence, terrorism and atrocities committed against innocent Jews. If the world imposes economic sanctions like they did Apartheid South Africa, it will be a travesty of justice because the world knows (or they should know) Israel has a moral case; Israel is in the right. Those who believe Israel is in the wrong, are not motivated by right or justice. There are other factors at play.
37. To No: 33. Winicki
Dov ben David ,   Eilat, Israel   (06.30.13)
"The only thing tha the Pals want is ALL". If you read these lines and look into the right wing fascizts, they are no different from the Pals. They also want it all, because it was given by "our God, not theirs" So I say to you as you say: Wake up!!!!
38. #37. Jordan occupies 78% of Jewish Homeland.
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.30.13)
#37. Jordan occupies 78% of the Jewish Homeland Mandate; land that legitimately belongs to Israel. Judea and Samaria legally belong to Israel and make Israel viable. This is obvious to any literate child, capable of reading a map. Wake up yourself.
39. to #17
ltrail ,   United States   (06.30.13)
Yes, Ann. First of all, John Kerry and Barack Obama, are the least able to fulfill a mission to secure peace in the Middle East. All commenters who said that Kerry's mission was a waste of time are so correct. Kerry is the paid a salary and that is all he really, really cares about.
40. To All Commentators
Harold ,   USA   (06.30.13)
The United States must stop dealing with the Middle East problems and stop spending taxpayers money on a tunnel that has no light at its end. The problem has to be referred to the United Nations for its final decision.
41. negotiations
albert snow ,   sweden   (06.30.13)
Tell you what´ll happen. Netanyahu won´t give after for PA demands of preconditions. Abbas knows that, and he also knows that Kerry & Obama is prepaird to pay million of dollars of US taxpayers money to have negotiations started. They don´t want to show the world they´ve failed. So they´ll pay Abbas to get him negotiating. (Some people call that bribery). So he´ll take the US taxpayers Money, negotiate a while and then leaving them blaming Israel for the failures.
42. Equal Rights for Gaza's Jews!
Kathy ,   Paris, Texas   (06.30.13)
Is Hamas treating the all the Jews still living in Gaza fairly? Do they have equal rights and freedom of religion? What about the Jews living in Jordan and Saudi Arabia - both close allies of the US.
43. When will this Idiocy stop ?.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (06.30.13)
If you want the Palestinians to seriously want peace and speak peace - " Stop all aid to them " !. And if they dont Recognise Israel as a Jewish State, leave them to HASHEM. Arn.Sweden.
44. Harold and his UN
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.30.13)
By the time the UN decides to rape us the world will be in a total tailspin. Remember my words. I promise you, the world will be in such disarray that there will not be anything the UN can do about it. Infact the UN will soon be defunct.. Do you realize how close we are to WWIII? Keep dreaming that the UN will harm us in any way.
45. to #43 - Only When HASHEM Comes
ltrail ,   United States   (06.30.13)
Thus far the so-called Palestinian people have not reigned-in their rogue terrorists. The innocent ones of the so-called Palestinians need to hold court of law against those perpetrators who tarnish and destroy the respectability of so-called Palestinians. As "Am" of Sweden said in number 43, the so-called Palestinians need to recognize the State of Israel. As Am of Sweden said, it's time to stop all aid to the so-called Palestinians, until they do accept the State of Israel.
46. Netanyahu's game is extremely dangerous
Hodaya ,   Jerusalem   (06.30.13)
Netanyahu is freezing Jewish construction in Yehuda and Shomron - and parts of Jerusalem- while allowing the Arabs to build massively on stolen land, establishing facts on the ground that will lead to a de facto recognition of a Palestian entity within the 1967 borders. Netanyahu's game if it is a game is extremely dangerous.
47. P.S. to #24: The picture coming from the region is a Mafia..
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (06.30.13)
...boss telling the US Secretary of State of his demands, and unless those demands are met, the US Secretary of State better watch his step and the steps of his family... America has cleaned up house to a large extent of the Mafia at home. Why does it allow itself to be extorted by Mafiosi from abroad...??!!
48. #46. We must DEMAND unlimited Judea/Samaria building NOW!
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.30.13)
#46. You are absolutely correct about the lunacy of freezing Jewish building in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria. Especially while our genocidal "Palestinian" foes continue to steal our land. Every good Jew, Israeli patriot and friend of Israel must unite and DEMAND unlimited Jewish building throughout Judea and Samaria NOW!
49. Kerry, so sad to see you leave
Dror ,   Haifai, Israel   (06.30.13)
When you come around to blackmail us again your country will already be in upheaval. Do not think we are not following what your Tyrannical President is up to along with the Banksters of Wall St. and the Federal reserve.
50. HOW????
(06.30.13)
How can Kerry or anyone with basic moral princi
51. #34 Dror...professional help
Michael ,   Haifa   (06.30.13)
I read the text of Dror's talkback, which I quote: "Bow wow wow ... Bow Wow wow ... Big Loud barks Arfarfarf ARF ARF!! ARF!! Here the big mouth roar....chhh chhh chh" I am not a psychiatrist, but suspect that he may seriously be in need of some professional help
52. Kerry's mission failed
Amram ,   Toronto, Canada   (06.30.13)
But he says there was 'real progress', so Abbas will get the money promised by the USA. And Israel will be blamed for not agreeing to the preconditions.
53. Peace Negotiations.
Son Of Cyrus ,   UK   (06.30.13)
Is this the formula they are trying to agree to start peace talks? 1) Israel defines its ideal borders, the same as PA has defined its borders as being 1967 armistice lines. 2) Israel frees prisoners who do not have blood on their hands or have committed a criminal act against Israelis. 3) Israel halts new settlements however, can build in existing areas. 4) PA gives up the right of return. 5) PA recognizes Israel as the homeland of the Jewish Nation State and modifies its charter accordingly. 6) PA and the Islamic World realize and accept that Jerusalem in the Eternal Undivided Capital of The Jewish Homeland. ====================================================== If not, it will be a complete waste of everybody's time! - in my humble opinion. ======================================================
54. Kerry makes a fool of himself
Yossef   (06.30.13)
55. Useless generalities are just not good enough
Benoa   (06.30.13)
Send home the clown.... We have enough of our own here...
56. Maybe now Kerry will focus on the other 99% of the world
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (06.30.13)
The world is rife with conflicts, many of them on the "bloody borders" of Islam. Maybe it's time Kerry set aside his obsession with the less than 1% that is connected with Israel to deal with more pressing matters.
57. Shuttle diplomacy
Get Real ,   UK   (06.30.13)
Real progress, narrowing gaps, etc etc. And tomorrow we shall hear the same pre-conditional demands of the PA leadership.
58. Howl at the Moon
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.30.13)
There was a super moon just a few days ago.. You would have found me in the fields with the Jackals howling... OOOWWWUUUU OW OW OWUUUU! Yeha!! The crazies will survive. The naive will perish. ;-)
59. Dror #58 &34
Steve   (06.30.13)
Like my late step-mother used to say, you are a sketch - 'out of the ordinary'. Entertaining, that's for sure.
60. Obama once again humiliated by the non-state actors
CJK   (06.30.13)
obama's obsession with the arab palestinians is rather astonishing. one would think that with the entire middle east going up in flames, with children being massacred in syria, with iran's nuclear weapons program still ongoing, that obama would have more important things on his mind than the rejectionist, petulant arab Palestinians.
