31. Secretary Kerry's statements
Imperator ,   US/Israel   (11.07.13)
Just sheer intimidation to the US loyal partner, Israel. He has damaged more his country's position with the Arab world than with Israel. We knew ahead of time who we would be dealing with. We Jews have survived many threats, but this one takes a price for political vulgarity.
32. Still waiting on the last violence to stop
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NYC   (11.07.13)
Since Israel is still under attack, even during negotiations, what is he talking about it resuming?
33. Thank you, Chris
Jay Abouaf ,   Jaffa Israel   (11.07.13)
34. Kerry
sam ,   usa   (11.07.13)
Jews all over the world have an obligation to protect and preserve the rich Jewish culture religion and the home of all Jews, Israel if history has thought us anything is never trust any power to defend our rights, we are small yet we are survivors of global prejudice , friends are few but are blessed if they are genuine for the modern world has benefited greatly from the Jewish contribution and has offered the Jew at the alter of sacrifice, Jewish blood has covered many lands of tyrant rule , we offered an open hand to the Arabs and was responded with a closed fist, Kerry take a break and see the Arab/Turk as who it really is.,
35. israel need someone brave
adam adam ,   earth planet   (11.07.13)
netanyahu is not the right person o do peace with ..israel needs a brave man who can take a brave decisions ....netanyahu i weak
36. Is it a threat , mr kerry?
trump   (11.07.13)
Since all your efforts only brought misery to countries around us, we will act according to OUR security agenda.
37. Kerry's Threats
Billstr@stratus.net ,   USA   (11.07.13)
Kerry and the present US administration are obviously encouraging perhaps even funding these BDS and boycott groups either directly or indirectly you would have to be a blind idiot not to believe it. The US is now acting and almost crossing the line as if she is now the enemy of Israel. Kerry may also be planning with PA the third infintada that's my opinion
38. Hmmm...
manicdrummer ,   Haifa, Israel   (11.07.13)
I wonder what Mr. Kerry would've told the Native-Americans if they refused to cede any of their land to the European settlers. the difference is that Israel is reclaiming its original land. In the US, Europeans stole land from Native-Americans. Hopefully someday, Native-Americans will be able to steal back their land and live happily ever after.
39. Kerry Obama Nixon
Bill stein ,   Usa   (11.07.13)
It is my opinion that the Present Aministration has a lot of similarities with the Nixon Administration. Both had multiple similer scandles both were pushing and pressureing Israel to make concessions both under pressure from the same party both seem to me to have Vindictive personalities. Nixon tried to betray Israel in 1973. I can't help remembering from last few months Kerry's statement that the reason that there is no peace is Israel's prosperity. Also Kerry said that if Israel did not negotiate a deal deligitamazation and isolation will go on steroids or something to that statement. He would not have made that statement unless Obama oked it or was the one doing it. If president Obama wants to treat Israel as the enemy then Israel in my opinion should treat Obama as the enemy.
40. Has Abbas Any Better Friend?
Shimon ,   Cincinnati, USA   (11.07.13)
Kerry has become nothing more than a Palestinian mouthpiece. Now he's giving them license for a 3rd Intifada? Maybe THIS time well return to the old school Israel. Maybe just ignore the media and do what's right? Maybe tell Obama "The hell with your spare parts." Start making them in Israel. The jobs are needed!
41. #13 propaganda BS.
ilan ,   ramat gan, Israel   (11.07.13)
There is no plans for greater israel or domination plans. Unless you know something that every single Israeli doesn't? ISRAEL was renamed to Palestina by the Romans this is historical documented fact, go crack open an encyclopedia and look up the 3rd roman-Jewish - war (bar kocha revolt).modern Palestine better wake up quickly and realize their squatters rights are quickly running out! Israel is willing to give away it's land for peace. Just because bullies repeat a lie and make it popular opinion, doesn't make it true! wow, how the terrorists have evolved!
42. what about ..
daniela ,   panama   (11.07.13)
And what about violence if the talks succeed? Didnt it happen when we left Gaza? Isnt the main purpose of the palestinians to trow away the jews to the sea? Mr. Kerry.. i prefer to have the land and deal with what could come that to be fooled again. By them and by you.

44. Another form of anti-semitism
(11.07.13)
The 'territories' were rightfully gained through war and battle. There are at least a dozen other nations where similar land earnings have occurred (I am no history buff but if I can count to 12 there are probably even more), so why haven't those countries been forced to resort to their prior borders? Why don't the English pilgrims return to England? French leave Canada and return to France???
45. Please John Kerry.Israel is capable of handling Pals threats
Alan ,   SA   (11.07.13)
46. The violence
Birdi ,   Israel   (11.07.13)
never stopped, it never will (stop) We have daily terror attacks on Israeli Jews in every corner of Israel. Kerry is blind, deaf & dumb.
47. A non-people trying to dictate terms to an ancient one
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (11.07.13)
Good that Yvette Lieberman is returning to police the situation.
48. WHAT? Now Kerry is a spokesman for the PA? Fear mongering!
lildoobird ,   Jerusalem   (11.07.13)
49. Alternative to peace?
Salim ,   Canada   (11.07.13)
Peace with these people is an impossibility, as many clear thinkers have concluded. There will never be a satisfactory peace agreement, so why give up anything to this group of murderous thugs with a death wish. Kerry and his boss have proven to be bad news and willing to undermine us at every turn. With friends like that ...
50. Occupation is violence. It never stopped.
(11.07.13)
51. he knows nothing just posturing. he will be gone in a yr or
(11.07.13)
two just wants an easy feather in his cap. while we r here for ever. so forget him
52. Kerry feels free to come with those incendiary remarks....
JJJ   (11.07.13)
Mr. Kerry feels free to come with those incendiary remarks when Israeli officials constantly, for example Ms. Livni gave legitimacy to the idea of isolating Israel and Palestinian violence, in my opinion she has a major affect in countries feeling more comfortably talking about those subjects or even taking steps in isolating Israel
53. kerry , assad and intifada
marv   (11.07.13)
kerry, the misguided foreign secretary screwed up the egypt file for america such that russian will soon replace it there and guarantees on egypt and israel peace have been removed. recall Kerry said that assad was someone you could do business with.Now he tries to scare israeli into concessons that would harm the state. Of course israel has weaklings like peres, levy and verter, livni and yechaimovticha and gal on along with german who worry and are scared and would rely on the states. and israel cannot afford to rely on anyone, period other than itself atter the holocaust and the last 65 years. No concessions to the invented arabs sitting on israeli land in judea and samaria. They don't even know they are occupiers cause the olsoist have told them they are a nation state. Bibi has to go and fast with his bloody appeasement.
54. Please understand you'all - this is just politics
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (11.07.13)
Obama is desperate to get a success in foreign politics and thinks Israel is a weak link. I guess he doesn't understand us Israelis - as I see after reading all these talk backs. Thanks for thinking as I do.
55. #44 Times change
(11.07.13)
This is 21st century. You can't keep the conquered territories. You should have conquered them earlier. Tough luck, dude.
56. Kerry warns of violence
Leib ,   New Amsterdam   (11.07.13)
Looks like the Obama administration is responsible for violince on Jews in Israel I hope it shall back fire
57. I think there is also good chance of violence breaking out
Alan ,   SA   (11.07.13)
in USA...There will be a clash of civilisations there in the USA..Between the "old established" Americans and the new immigrants from every third world country.What do you think about the New York Elections.For example,There will be no stop and search.Crime will rocket. The takers will take and the makers will leave.There will be a Detroitification of the great US cities. What about Obamacare?What a mess. Sorry Kerry,look in your own backyard my lad.when you talk about "violence".
58. 43 Good point.In gaza talks succeeded and violence followed
(11.07.13)
59. Violence of Islamist-Jihadism
Brod ,   USA   (11.07.13)
The violence of Islamist-Jihadism has been going on in the region since they sprouted in the Arabian Desert in the 7th century.
60. Be brave, like Yoni.
Michael Pielet ,   Israel   (11.07.13)
Bibi, go and visit the grave of Yoni, a true gibor israel. and tell obama, NO!
