1. Let there be violence; we shall not be moved
(11.07.13)
Go Home Kerry. Obama administration have commited treason where it comes to Constitution and USA allies. Thugs, no more and no less
2. Israelis never capitulate to violence
tell to Obama   (11.07.13)
Terror and violence against Israel will be a grave mistake on the side of the Palestinians. The next time there will be negotiations, they will be offered much less.
3. kerry and fear tactics and pressur on srael
jenifer ,   jerusalem, israel   (11.07.13)
kerry stinks
4. Great peace... ultimatum.
Miron ,   USA   (11.07.13)
5. VIOLENCE
Robert ,   Israel   (11.07.13)
Violence NEVER stopped in this region. Nor against the Jewish State, nor among Muslims themselves. Anyway if some type of truce comes out with Abbas, it will certainly not be reached with Hamas as they will overthrow Abbas as soon as he gets any paper signed with Israel. So, don't be naif and say that if peace talks fail, violence will start again.
6. Mr. Kerry
Shosh ,   U.S   (11.07.13)
Thank you for yet again another so called (il) 'legitimate' motive for the next intifada. You might has well of said, "if Jews do not give in those who hate us, have reason to kill us.'" (excuse (Ad nauseam...through generations to the point of nausea) This means the last bus load of Jews blown to bits was due to 'lack of peace.' Newsflash: Tell that to Bashar Asad and all the other tyrannical 'heads of state,' whose random slaughter of both the human body and soul, is nothing more than 'soupe du jour' on any given day. Peace lies within the neighbors of Israel both far and wide, dear Mr. Kerry and you know it. While imperfect as we are, we are neither responsible for peace nor for those who use the excuse of peace as reason for our demise through the generations. When will we Jews grow what it takes to stand up and say, enough??
7. TO NR. 2.
SJOERD VAN DER VELDE ,   OUR BIG MULTIVERSE   (11.07.13)
YOUR TALKBACK IS RIGHT TO THE POINT. EVERY NATION CAN DO THE SAME, IN THAT CASE. SALUTE, SJOERD RUURD.
8. Kerry, the egomaniac bully
mea   (11.07.13)
Kerry's massive ego can only be topped in volume by Obama's naivety on all things diplomatic. Where is the focus on Abbas international tour where, state by state, he denounces his negotiation partner. Tell him to shut up, Kerry, if you're truly interested in solving the "ups and downs". That the Obama administration would believe that they have any credibility in the ME, after screwing Egypt and Mubaruk, after Benghazi, after Syria, is preposterous beyond words. Now they entertain themselves envisioning a peace agreement under their column. Kerry needs to deflate the ego, fathom that his knowledge if the street is absolute zero as a man of privilege who is far removed from the realities of the ME's many layers of history and relationships--and stop bullying those who have no respect for the Obama administration. Few of us will forget how the Obama admin. has treated our dear friend Israel.
9. JEWS BEEN UNDER VIOLENCE 4000 YRS SINCE PHAROAH
...DACON9   (11.07.13)
NOTHING NEW but that is what arabs know ....violence.... its so much easier then peace
10. The warning of violence reminds one of the tactics used by
Hermon Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (11.07.13)
the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO): Either you bow to our demands or else..., watch you wife and children...!! We have become used to the extortionist tactics of the "moderate" PLO. But, should we now begin to deal with yet another extortionist, delivered all the way from Washington, DC...?? Instead, I suggest Kerry to focus on the PLO Charter and demand of the PLO to amend it, unless he too has been threatened by this Mafia-like gang from Ramallah...
11. There Will Be Violence Regardless
emanon ,   USA   (11.07.13)
"Successful talks" is ambiguous at best: successful by what standard is not defined. If Israel exists, the arabs will say the talks have failed and will launch a violent jihad against Israel and Jews. If any concessions are garnered from the arabs, the arabs will say it is unfair, deny they agreed to anything and will launch a violent jihad against Israel and Jews.
12. And if there is no talk there will be the same violence.....
Reality 101 ,   Israel   (11.07.13)
Only FARTHER AWAY from Israel's population centers. Sounds like a good reason for Kerry to go home unhappy....
13. Violence is inevitable. The Jew,s
(11.07.13)
vision of a Palestinian state is one in which israel control the borders. Palestine is unarmed. The is always an idf presence. Israel controls it,s economy. Palestine is 10% of it,s former size.
14. If you don't do what we want there will be violence
Joe Fraser   (11.07.13)
Sounds like a familiar narrative. Shame on you Kerry and Obama administration for bowing to fear and and hate tactics.
15. threats of violence
kapriza ,   tsafon   (11.07.13)
Threats of violence and diplomatic warfare show the true colors of our "peace partners" to anyone who is looking. Who was it that said "No deal is better than a bad deal"?
16. "Kerry warns"
agokoy ,   cebu   (11.07.13)
"...a common border with a future Palestinian state, the fate of Jordan-based Palestinian refugees displaced in the 1967 Mideast war and....." Dozens of PA murderers and criminals have been released, and what has Israel gotten so far? More demands! And also demands from Jordan! And more intimidation from Kerry! Again, another expensive Israeli mistake for nothing.
17. Kerry you LOST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (11.07.13)
18. In the end it all comes down to Obama's bloodthirsty Islam
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (11.07.13)
19. #1
Ivo ,   Israel   (11.07.13)
Well spoken. Mr Kerry swallow your ego and admit you are wrong and go home, I don't think you have the calibre to crack the uncrackable neither your boss Hussy Obama. What a farce the both of you are playing.
20. Mega cities can be built
Zechariah   (11.07.13)
Megacities can be built that can incorporate many millions in Small Areas Sq Km.In 6000sq km ten million can live with olive trees and sheep and goats around .So a land swap with Islamic Israel Salah Territory but with nonviolence can provide that israeli NATO andJordanian Troops would enforce harsh measures against Political Fanatics and Criminals .Military Personell ought be trained for Toughness But Brutality Forbidden.
21. so let there be violence
areil   (11.07.13)
kerry goes on with his phony rhetoric or this being unsustainable etc etc, he is full of it. and status quo is as good as it will get.
22. Between Kerry or Obama, I rather be friend with the Pals
David ,   Montreal, Canada   (11.07.13)
23. This Threat Is Terrorism
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (11.07.13)
What is terrorism if not to bully and terrify your opponent into accepting your terms by violent means? Is not Kerry's threat terrorism? Is he not trying to bully and terrify us? It has long been understood, by everyone but the Americans, it seems, that the Arabs' fundamental tactic is terrorism, in one form or another. Seems like Mr. Kerry has adopted their strategy and is foisting it upon Israel in no less a brutal and uncivilized way as his Arab friends. But, do not become disheartened. Any battle Israel will have with the Arabs will surely be won by us, with even more severe consequences for the Arabs. They will be far worse off. Only fools would start up with us. Sadly, they are, in fact, fools.
24. Kerry's Violence
Sam ,   Tel Aviv   (11.07.13)
Who exactly is it that will instigate the violence Kerry is warning us about? Maybe he should look into that and see who he is dealing with (correction: who he is forcing us to deal with!)
25. Israel agrees to Pal+Jewish states.Pals don't.
Sam ,   Canada   (11.07.13)
Israel agrees to Palestinian and Jewish states. So does the US. The Palestinians reject a Jewish state. Who should Kerry be pressuring?
26. Kerry is inciting Muslims to murder Jews
CJK   (11.07.13)
kerry, like his boss obama, are supporters of Islamic terrorists.
27. Kerry is a proponent of the Palestinians
Ross Gallen ,   Henderson, USA   (11.07.13)
By warning of violence, Kerry encourages the Palestinians to act in a violent manner. It’s the same as giving them a green light to perpetuate their violent agenda. He has adopted the disgusting philosophy of the Palestinians. His pronouncements echo the PLO Line. He is neither neutral nor a friend of Israel.
28. One can say Kerry's statement is incitement to violence
JJJ   (11.07.13)
29. #23 Obama overrules international law by Presidential Order
Norbus ,   JERUSALEM   (11.07.13)
Obama disregarded International law when inciting Arab in Yehuda & Shomron suggesting a return to 1967 borders. Deluded in a belief that he is empowered to do anything he wants. Our friends in America at the time called it throwing Israel under the bus. Presidential orders overriding the American Constitution bear this out, as does lying as he goes along and then lies about the lies he told on the record. Obama's true agenda. allied with Ikhwan al Muslimin ,explains his actions; he violated Egypt's sovereignty telling Mubarak to stand down, then could not do enough for Morsi; Ikhwan hierarchy advise the White House, Huma Abedin, is one example, meeting Qadarawi's deputy, arming via Benghazi al Qaida in Syria, who are busy establishing a Caliphate, .. The list is long.. The time has come to tell Obama we are not giving up secure borders we were forced to pay for with our blood. Middle East Jews were dispossessed. Where is the equity in his policy? Why is Kerry is resorting to terror? McCain and Graham sent to plead for Morsi Why? Obama abandoned USA allies, why?
30. Bibi; Tell Kerry to " Take a Hike"
Tarbouche ,   Aswan   (11.07.13)
That is what Obama told Senator Lindsey Graham when the Senator was getting hot , discovering Obama armed Al Qaida in Syria from Benghazi
