aaron ,   toronto,canada   (11.15.13)
if the only way to resolve this situation is through negotiations then MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS AND LET ISRAEL HANDLE THE NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE MURDERING FAKESTINIANS. Now get back to fixing your own mess.
2. The only effective peace-making act the US and other powers
Hermon Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (11.15.13)
can and ought to make is the demanding of the application of the relevant fundamental acts in international law related to the subject: 1) San Remo conference decisions, 1920 2) League of Nations decisions, 1922 3) UN Charter, article 80, 1945 And, the above, to be implemented in strict adherence to UN Security Council Resolution, 242, 1967, which has been the basis of all peace talks to date. Translation: The partition of Palestine/Eeretz Israel between Arabs and Jews. The Arabs get 77% of the territory by that name, located between the Jordan River and the Arabian desert. The Jews, 23% of the territory, located between the Jordan River and the Med. Sea. All Jews who reside in the Arab part of Palestine, between the Jordan River and the Arabian desert; and, all Arabs who reside in the Jewish part, between the Jordan River and the Med. Sea; ought to be entitled to all human, civil and religious rights National rights, however, may only be exercise in one of the two parts of partitioned Palestine/Eretz Israel: The Arabs, east of the Jordan River, and the Jews west of the Jordan River. This partition is not only fair to all, it is also anchored in international law, hence it behooves the international community, including the present US administration, to stand behind it. P.S. It is appropriate to enable the Arabs who reside between the Jordan River and the Med. Sea to set up and conduct their affairs within an autonomous ethnic region(s), as is the case, theoretically, to enable the Jews residing east of the Jordan River to do the same (no Jews, of course, dwell east of the Jordan River at the moment). But, an autonomous cultural/ethnic autonomous life is a far cry from the setting up of a state, for which none of the relevant elements in international law call.
3. Rice and Obama
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (11.15.13)
The United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity," she said. Nobody in their right mind gives a damn what she and Obama accept. They can take their hope and change and shove it.
4. Pure evil of Obama regime.
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.15.13)
As far as the evil Obama regime is concerned, ongoing "Palestinian" terror against Israel is no problem. "Palestinian" covenants calling for the destruction of Israel is no problem. "Palestinian" rocket attacks against Israeli civilians are no problem. As far as the monstrous Obama regime is concerned; Jews building in our more than 3,500 year old ancestral heartland is THE problem! This land is ours and we don't take orders from this horrid president, who will soon be gone. Nor will we allow Bibi to sell out our rights due to his personal cowardice.
5. BUILD MORE BABY !!!! Disgraced, Susan Rice
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (11.15.13)
obama must be getting desperate, he sends this hand chosen bald faced liar out once again to the fore as she did repeatedly after the Benghazi attack and kept saying it was due to a 'film unflattering to Islam' and not to Al Qaeda and their preplanned attack on our outpost and the assassinations of 4 American's who begged for their lives and, the blackest spot yet on the obama administration, were denied , over and over. Since that whopper has proved to be another failed obama "Follies" ( a nicer word for F up ) add to that the current debacle of the "Affordable Health Care Act' AKA obama care... What was obama thinking? Did I say.. thinking? The scam is unbelievable, is it just me or, does any of this make any sense to any body? Israel's right to build her land according to her needs is her right by law and by Israel's repeated victories over her arab/muslim/pal enemies. We're watching the undoing of obama and his last ditch offer to give up Israel to her and OUR enemies..... "He who curses you I will curse He who blesses you I will bless."
6. She will now schedule appearances...
Gideon Reader   (11.15.13)
...on ALL of the Sunday TV Talking Heads shows to reveal how Israeli film producers are despoiling the chances for a just and lasting peace with their warm and welcoming neighbors, the Pals. Obviously ZerObama, Biden, Kerry and this bit of trash are followiing the P-resident's playbook. All that is needed is a total denunciation of Israel in the Security Council and General Assembly by the U.S.'s UN Ambassador. You know the anti- semite Irish bimbo.
7. And what will Samantha Powers Say?
(11.15.13)
8. time to stand up to this incompetent puppet master. she is w
ralph   (11.15.13)
wrong. so we must ignore her.
9. Susan is right- Jews should lie down and die
Nir ,   Natanya   (11.15.13)
The lying woman, remember Benghazi and story about a little video? covering up Obama arming al Qaida ? Iran non consummation of deal to allow NUKES must be getting to Obama $8bn for deal signed by Al Shater, Morsi and Obama
10. Oxymoron(s)
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (11.15.13)
Susan - Rice and Think-Tank is an oxymoron; emphasis on moron. Take care of our problems on the home front, Ms. Rice, and "slam Obamacare."
11. Susan Rice
Steve Goodman ,   Israel   (11.15.13)
To be honest I prefer long grain rice, white rice, fried rice, boiled rice, any ccoking rice, versus political Susan Rice.....or any obummah rice recipes
12. The only effective peace-making act the US and other powers
Hermon Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (11.15.13)

13. Intelligent rice
Steve Goodman ,   Israel   (11.15.13)
The breakfast cereal "Rice Crispies" that goes snap, crackle and pop when you add milk, makes more sense then any sounds coming from susan's (note lower case s) mouth
14.  3. Rice and Obama
Tartoufe ,   Nice, Ranaana   (11.15.13)
We can not accept legitimacy of Jewish settlements in the land of Israel 1. Obama's Dad, Frank William Davis , uncannily looks like Obama Barak 2. Do not know Susan's family tree but know she hates Jews 3 Samantha Powers wanted to invade Israel 4. Brennon conversion to Islam 5. Qaradawiu's deputy meetings in WH, Huma Abedin, 6. Too many executive orders illegally override laws passed by Congress 7. Scape goating Israel will hasten this administration's demise
15. Ms Rice doesn't know history
rayS ,   USA   (11.15.13)
Jewish residents in Judea and Samaria are legitimate. What is not legal is an Arab state in that area. There is NO historical record of such a previous state..
16. Obama and Rice On Right Track
World Citizen ,   the world   (11.15.13)
I love it that people in the USA are being exposed to a new way of thinking about Israel. Wars for Israeli hegemony in the Middle East have done that. One can also thank Bibi Netanyahu. The man has overplayed his hands time and again. His histrionics make him a laughing stock. Hopefully Obama/Rice/Kerry will continue to neutralise Bibi and his ilk. The world will be a lot safer if they do.
17. To All Commentators
Harold ,   USA   (11.15.13)
Negatiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians will never bare any fruits. The only way to solve the middle east conflict is the recognition of a Palestinian State with the 1967 borders and all settlers will instantly become citizens of the Palestinian State.
18. What Hippocratic!
Avishai ,   Israel   (11.15.13)
"The United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity". What Hippocratic! The US is "illegally occupied territory" from one coast to the other, stolen from the indigenous tribes. Israel on the other hand has reclaimed her ancestral lands from occupation by others.
19. Jews = Judea
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (11.15.13)
After thousands of years, it ought to be self-evident; and it won't change. The sooner everyone understands that, the sooner there will be real peace.
20. 15. Ms Rice doesn't know history
(11.15.13)
Who gives a fig about history? Who gives a fig about the Constitution? Who will tell Obama & Gang their Cup runneth over?
21. To one commentator #17, Obama/Rice lie, cheat and deceive
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (11.15.13)
22. You never learn
Harri ,   EU   (11.15.13)
It is not that Obama is against Israel, it is Israel that is against US and the whole civilized world. There will never be a president in US, who will accept settlements, because settlements belong to the dark ages of apartheid and colonialism. If you love Israel, you leave Judea and Samaria for Palestine. If you love Palestine, you keep building settlements and de facto welcome 4 million Palestinians to Israel, and the whole Israel will be Palestine sooner or later.
23. Rice is a libelous liar
bernard ross   (11.15.13)
US law ratifies LON and san remo which encourages the settlement of jews. This horse face looking drag queen is a chronic liar like gay obamalek and viet nam coward lying kerry. 3 pos for the price of one
24. to #20, cups that runneth over
Steve Goodman ,   Israel   (11.15.13)
obummah & rice, their cup does not runneth over, their mouths runneth over.......
25. The Americans talk too much
Michael ,   Haifa   (11.15.13)
If they really wanted peace in the Middle East between Israel and the Palestinians, they would apply, together with the rest of the world, extreme economic sanctions against BOTH parties until they come to their senses.
26. These Are Cities, Not Settlements
emanon ,   USA   (11.15.13)
27. Ms Bengazi: Jews never robbed lands in 4,000 years.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (11.15.13)
28. Number 2: Excellent, truly excellent response to Mrs. Rice.
Deb Goldfarb ,   Washington, DC   (11.15.13)
29. to 18
Jennie ,   9srael/US   (11.15.13)
You have no idea what hippocracy is, Avishai...In Yehuda & Shomron, Israelis are doing exactly what is in their complete historical and legal right, thank you very much...The fact, that Obama and you don't like it, doesn't mean that We have to stop building peaceful homes or start evacuating the beautiful urban City of Modiin, with its world famous Universty, as well as modern towns & villiges, that Israelis built legally on their legally owned land, called Judea and Samaria(Gush Katif)... If you live in Israel, why don't you visit there once..
30. American Jews adore "O" and his clan
Tom W ,   USA   (11.15.13)
They voted for this charlatan antisemite yet Marxist Jews stuffing him with money and adulation even today when "O"'s devious plans are in the open. Sane people, Jews and gentiles alike see the disgusting symbiosis between the radical, Israel-hating leftists and "O"-s Court Jewry and ask themselves: Why bother with Israel's pains? Marxist Jews always hated even the abstract idea of a Jewish State in the spirit of their prophet, Charlie Marx - (a.k.a. Karl Marx). Israelis better look into their own ranks and decide whose side are on: rooting for Obama's Jews' or their homeland.
