Palestine to Palestinians. If Israelis live in Palestine they either have to come back to Israel or to become Palestinian and forget about being called Israelis. Arabs living in Israel are Israelis so they have all the rights to stay in Israel.

gave up Judea and Samaria for peace, these areas OFFICIALLY belong to Israel now. The only thing for negotiation is Assirian compensation to Jews by any syrian hunta that will rule after the war in the Northern Palestine. As to Gaza, all Sudanes that live now in Gaza will have to move to Sudan (formely, before 1960, Egytian Sudan or Anglo-Egytian sudan).

and put together a budget and some decent agreed on laws. Never going to happen, yet more likely to happen that Abbas speaking to Netanyahu.

BO:"Uh, this is the president of the United States of America." Sara: "Bibi, it's for you..." Bibi: "...How are you Mr. President?" BO: "Kerry says your giving him a hard time." Bibi:"*I'm* giving him a hard time? The word on the Palestinian street is that every time the word 'Peace' is uttered within the PA, Abbas has to go into hiding in fear of his own life. Don't you watch MEMRI TV?" BO:"You're confusing the facts with the issues. I'll be frank with you, Bibi. I can ruin you country in less than a month - I can debase your currency and fund social unrest demonstrations that would make the cottage cheese revolution look like a walk in the park. If you don't believe me, just look at what I've accomplished to do to America! Now get with the program!" Bibi:"I'll talk to Lapid, the Haredim and Shas guys but they're all asking for lots of money." BO:"You don't have to worry about the money, I'm working on QE6 here at home. You realize we'll have to pay off Abbas and his boys as well. Bibi:"Gotta go - Sara's asking me to help prepare for Shabat... coming dear..."

Do we have to watch this ridiculous spectacle of Will they - Wont they? Every pre condition is met with a counter pre condition..Its farcical When all we want is the parties to stop this childish squabbling and get down to negotiation HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES And the idea that in the meantime Abbas can expect everything to freeze in time in The West Bank till the negotiations are complete are a nonsense Accelerated cooperation and a complete halt to his incitement and rhetoric is what is needed NOW to stop giving these two faced mixed messages Abbas always claims are for LOCAL CONSUMPTION!!!! Abbas has to GIVE AN EXAMPLE to ordinary Palestinians that it IS politically correct to openly cooperate and be friends with Israel AND IGNORE outside pressures and interests who WILL NEVER out of their own selfish motives want us to EVER find an accomadation with Israel so that we can build our own future An example of just how bizarre the situation..Here we have in the middle of hurling accusations at Israel - we have a PA demand that Israel opens her arms with joy to employ Palestinian Workers? Such cooperation IS vital for both Israel and Palestinians BUT Abbas HAS to realise that cooperation can only be successful when there is MUTUAL TRUST, RESPECT, TOLERANCE and FRIENDSHIP ME? Im PROUD TO BE PALESTINIAN

With Detroit going bankrupt and other cities soon, he must to show something to the public, so he will try to convince them that the most important thing in the world is the "peace process".

there never was a state of palestine. israel will never withdraw to the 1949 armistice lines, regardless of what obama or the europeans say.

If the Palestinians are serious in making Peace with Israel then they should stop puting obstacles on the way to Peace - Israel have the upper hand in the matter - Israel Survival and Security at stake - Come On every one - Move on from this waste of time called Peace with Palestinians

Netanyahu backed out yesterday right after Kerry got the Arab League to modify their offer to include land swaps. Netanyahu had Regev deny any intent to include land swaps when Bennett threatened to bolt the government. No point to further US efforts. Nobody running the Israeli store.

I'm sick and tired of Israel having to make PAINFUL concessions-and what do we get out of it? More sophisticated attacks on us! Let the arabs make some painful concessions for a change!

Surely Obama should take care of him home problems first

What happened to the Obama and Kerry engineered reconciliation between Israel and Turkey ???

"Arabs living in Israel are Israelis so they have all the rights to stay in Israel." Is that so? Maybe you could tell the Arabs in Israel that. Remind them not to burn Israeli flags, not to wave Palestinian flags, and to stand at attention for the Israeli national anthem and maybe even to serve in the Israeli armed forces.

... 1920, if only the Arabs - Muslim-Arabs to be precise, not so much Christian-Arabs or Druze-Arabs, mind you!! - accepted the RIGHT of the Jewish people to exercise the universally accepted right of national self-determination and independence in the Jewish people's own ancestral homeland. In fact, the conflict could have been over at many points along the time-line since 1920, e.g. 1922, 1937, 1947, 1948, 1967, 1978, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2008 and 2009 to present day. The Muslim-Arabs rejected each of the peace offers, proposals, gestures and opportunities presented by both the international community and the Jewish people/Israel. This is the latest opportunity to sit down and talk PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE. But, it appears, as in all other rejections, the COEXISTENCE concept is unacceptable to the Muslim-Arabs, that is their being ready to live peacefully alongside the sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people on ANY parcel of land of the Jewish people's homeland.

That is the correct headline as it should have been printed.. Netanyahu and Peres have said "ad nauseam"that they want negociations ASAP,.So why was it just a friendly call to urge Netanyahu to start negociations

" I can ruin you country in less than a month...If you don't believe me, just look at what I've accomplished to do to America! "

You should wonder why they are acting like that. How can they feel part of a country that despise them? A national anthem that clearly doesn't include them? A whole system that always remind them that they are not part of this country? It's always easy to point out what Arabs do or don't do, but do you ever wonder what Jews do or don't do to make this country united? Have you ever considered once how you would feel if you were put aside and regarded as pariah? Enough with this separatism already! Enough with always blaming others! Time to be responsible here!

By the time your Nordic kingdom was established a few centuries ago, we Jews had already been in existence for more than 3000 years. So shut up and go fishing in the North Sea. If you Europeans want a "Palestinian" state I suggest you show TRUE 100% GENUINE AND AUTHENTIC SOLIDARITY by AGREEING to establish a "Palestinian" state in Norway, with Oslo as its capital and the Norwegian Royal Palace and the Norwegian parliament on the main street in Oslo to serve as the "Palestinian" state's primary institutions. I've been to Norway - it's huge. Why don't you establish a "Palestinian" state there? Regarding being fed up with people: I'm fed up that millions of Jews have been massacred, murdered, persecuted, enslaved and discriminated against for centuries solely based on our racial stock and our religion, and that you Europeans STILL continue this hatred of Jews by interfering with our domestic affairs in direct violation of international law. But hey, international law applies only to Israel and the rest of the world - not to Europeans right? You have shown that for centuries during your rampages in your global European empires all over the World. Norwegians and Europeans are "civilized and enlightened people"? Are we Israelis supposed to laugh or cry? Maybe both?

Perhaps you should contemplate what it is that makes Arabs despicable. That would be the responsible thing to do.

I think you misunderstood Johannes' post. I appreciate your sentiment, and I agree with you, but I am not certain that Johannes is the appropriate target of the content of your post. He seems to be exasperated with Obama and Kerry (Dumb and Dumber); and not because of their failure to bully Israel into making ridiculous concessions. I suppose Johannes' post at No. 7 can be read two ways -- but I don't think it was intended to express vitriol towards Israel. Johannes can correct me if I am wrong.

Do we tell you how to conduct your foreign policy? Would you accept it? Then why do you think that we should tolerate American bullying? Trust me -- Israel can do quite nicely without the United States. Given the intelligence which the State of Israel provides the United States, I don't think the reverse is true. The American people elected someone -- twice -- who is simply not suited to the office of the president of the United States. The United States has been in serious decline since 2008. Obama is desperate -- not for peace in the Middle East, but rather to find a way to write his way into the history books for something "positive." Apart from the fact that Obama seriously underestimates Israel's resolve, aren't there other immediate pressing concerns that Obama can address? No shortage of those, dear -- foreign or domestic. Obama is getting even with all those Jewish students at Harvard Law School who viewed him with disdain (Obama did, after all, graduate near the bottom of his class; never got recruited by a single law firm despite having graduated at the peak of law firms' attempts to diversify; and it took him three -- or four; I don't recall -- shots at the bar exam before he passed. According to the Commonwealth's Board of Law Examiners, he passed by one point. That's why he hates Jews; we have quite a different record at Harvard Law School. Oh! Did I happen to mention that he is steeped in Islamic fundamentalism? Don't be fooled by the nice suits -- Obama's is empty. He's a fraud wrapped in a deception encircled by an unlawful violation of the Constitution of the United States of America. Don't worry about Israel. We can take care of ourselves. You need to concern yourself with the criminal who is running the American store.

I urge everyone who loves Israel to DEMAND the immediate permanent end to sick talks with the genocidal terrorist P.A. These talks cause massive numbers of Israeli murders and casualties. Their goal is to turn Israel into a 9 mile wide concentration camp. Whatever your race, religion, politics, nationality...if you love Israel... Let us all SHOUT with one earth shaking voice: OUR demand to end these evil talks once and for all.

...and ALL ethnic nation states without exception are excluding all other identities but their own. Germany for example is both a DE FACTO and DE JURE a GERMAN country. Why? Because the overwhelming majority of the German Citizens are ethnically and culturally German and Germany is FORMALLY and OFFICIALLY German. Germany's flag, national Anthem, language, Culture, Protestantism and Catholicism exclude all others Another example is Poland: Poland is DE FACTO and DE JURE a POLISH country. Why? Because the overwhelming majority of the Polish Citizens are ethnically and culturally Polish and Poland is FORMALLY and OFFICIALLY a POLISH state. The Polish language, Culture, national symbols, national flag, history, customs, national Anthem and Catholicism exclude all other identities. ALL ethnic nation states EXCLUDE all other identities, so why should Israel be any different? Do you Think Jews feel truly at home in Arab or European countries, Turkey, Russia or Iran? In what sense do these national identies include and represent the Jewishness of the Jewish people? Believe it or not but hundreds of millions of people across Europe, Russia, North Africa, Minor Asia, Middle East, Central Asia, China, both Koreas, Japan and southeast Asia live DAILY in ethnicity based countries. It's strange that they can live in ethnic nation states but Jews according to you cannot. Arabs feel foreign in Israel? Arabs ARE foreign!!!!! Get this into your head: NON JEWS ARE FOREIGNERS IN ISRAEL - HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AND WILL ALWAYS BE - PERIOD! Non Jews have to adapt themselves to us in Israel accepting that they are foreigners in our land just as we are foreigners in European and Arab countries. Enough with your whining and intervention! Accept that hundreds of millions of people in Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asia WANT to live in ethnic nation states - they DON'T want multi-culturalism. Who made you a judge of men by the way?

You know... sorry for my president being a moron? It's not Netanyahu who REFUSES to come to the negotiating table and stay there longer than a month. (abbas and erekat have hemorrhoids that prevent them sitting in chairs)

Not one day goes by that Israel does not tell the US how and what US foreign policy should be. Olmert bragged that he could pull Bush off stage in the middle of a speech and get him to jump.

is crusading against Israel. It is time Israel tells him NO to suicidal move. Judea and Samaria-the Land of Israel belongs to Israel since ancient time which Israel liberated from Arab Islamist-Jihadist occupation in the 20th century. Congress should impeach Hussien for siding with the Muslim Brotherhood-father of Islamist-Jihadist terrorism around the world, and for destroying America's economy with 16.5 Trillion Dollars in National Debts.

"This longest lasting conflict in the world in the modern era must end." I guess that just because there is about 100 other conflicts currently going on that started a few hundred years ago doesn't count. You are truly a total moron

Obama can hardly take care of American problems since he causes most of them. America was in far better shape before Obama's inauguration than today, in almost every respect.
