31. Abbass is insecure he has no pre-conditions
Martin SA   (07.22.13)
Suspend or cancel boycott rules - Responsible approach. The EU have acted immorally and immaturely. The matter should have been discussed with all the stakeholders and that includes the Israeli domocraticly elected government. Any dissatisfaction prompting such a move table with a time frme to rectify and or revert back with differences of opinion etc. The matter then assessed and discussed with other stakeholders after which at a set point in time a final finding implemented. There was no honest process and the matter reveal clear anti-Semitic harassment by a so-called responsible community. Does not reflect well on EU for acting in an irresponsible way. This is a sad legacy on the part of eu. Abbass is insecure he has no pre-conditions. He was very brave. Abbass needs to be handled with tender care as he is so insecure. All this insecurity arises while tries to steel our land and make it Judenrein to boot. Chutzpah!!
32. #11 you say the truth
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (07.22.13)
You have pointed out the truth that the Arabs do not bother to hide. Apparently, Americans like Obama and Kerry agree. Why do Israeli Jews, including Zionists like Netanyahu, pretend this is not true and voluntarily give the Arabs the means to genocide Israel?
33. 4 It is, of course, only fair: "ethnic cleansing" of Jews
Adam Smith   (07.22.13)
can't take place but in the form of population exchange.
34. ''islam'' AND ARAB POPULATION IN ISRAEL.
SJOERD VAN DER VELDE ,   OUR PLANET EARTH   (07.22.13)
IF THE SO CALLED PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY WANTS THAT , THEN ''ISLAM'' AND IF NEEDED ALSO ARAB POPULATION CAN BE SEND AWAY FROM ISRAEL AND ANY OTHER COUNTRY, WITH PEOPLE, STRAIGT TO MECCA (ON THE ARABIAN PENINSULA).
35. oscillating
john ,   toronto   (07.22.13)
Israel is oscillating between an imaginary peace with Palestinians and war with Iran. I don't call this progress.
36. usually it's the victors who dictate the terms
tom ,   toronto, canada   (07.22.13)
37. Deception
Joe Mevorah ,   LIncoln, USA   (07.22.13)
In Islam, there is a concept called taqiyya, which means deception, which is permissible in order to further the cause of Islam. The concept is religiously sanctioned. These negotiations are a good example. They are meant to gaining the trust of Israel draw out their vulnerabilities and defeat them in the future. Anyone who thinks that religion doesn't play a roll in these negotiations is sadly mistaken.
38. Israel was built by Jewish kings. How can it be pal lands
Adi ,   Zurich   (07.22.13)
Israel was built by Jewish kings. How can it be pal lands
39. Don't understand the Israeli anger
Mark Jeffery Koch ,   Cherry Hill, NJ USA   (07.22.13)
Why are you Israeli's so upset about what Abu Mazen said? Every Israeli I have spoken with the past several years have stated they would be thrilled with any settlement that removed every single Palestinian from Israel. They also use the word "arab" when they say that. So why is it wrong for Abbas to say the same thing you folks feel? Is it because you don't want to admit that you hate them every bit as much as they hate you?
40. Restore Samaria - WEST BANK is fiction.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (07.22.13)
41. Israel versus Israeli or Jew
avramele   (07.22.13)
I have limited trust in Abbas and his team. However in diplomatic-speak wording matters and the man said "remove Israel", not emovethe Israelis, not remove the Jews, not remove the settlers - remove Israel. He was it seems (and one can even hope) making a statement about sovereignity and defined borders not citizenship. One can read that statement to mean that Jews may have some option of remaining within the borders of the sovereign state of Palestine as citizens of that state.Doing so might also give moral protection to the Israeli Arabs west of the new borders.We have some reports that that prior to that statement he and Peres had a conversation on the topic. One more reason to let the negotiations happen behind close doors until the final draft of an agreement is ready for approval by the respective sides.
42. Let there be peace
Dov ben David ,   Eilat, Israel   (07.22.13)
Lets go back to the 1967 borders. Let the Palestinin refugies go to there new wonderful country and build up their new state. But do not thnk Abas for a moment that you want to have a new state an send the refugies to us...
