1. WHY DIDN'T KERRY JUST SAY "PEACE IN OUR TIMES"?
stude ham   (12.06.13)
it would have meant the same thing now as it did in 1938.
2. Or, I sold Israel down the river
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (12.06.13)
to make obama happy at the sake of risking Israel who obama threw under the bus and then, went back and forth over her to make sure she was mortally injured. Yankee go home.obama, go to hell. BUILDING MORE DAY TO DAY!!!
3. a delusional idiot,just like his boss
chaim .s ,   BROOKLYN NY   (12.06.13)
4. bibi is extremely weak and has no ability to initiate action
milson   (12.06.13)
this man is paralysed in deciding on action which is why he will buy into kerry's regional security bs game with the arabs contra al quaeda. Likud should throw bibi out and replace him with someone else. he is in the same category as olmert and livni-chamberlains all of thema nd enough to make normal jews ashamed of t hem.
5. WH directive to the MSM: Make us look good!
Avi Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (12.06.13)
Anyone else notice that all of the news items relating to 'The Peace Process' over the last several days are coming out of AFP, AP, Reuters and other MSM news outlets? Who ever would have thought that the US would have their very own version of the USSR's Pravda?
6. believeable
Burpie Longstocking ,   USA   (12.06.13)
I know I believe good ol' Guy Smiley, I mean good ol' Kerry. Guaranteed safety, security & prosperity amongst Israel and the fun loving terrorist. I know the latter believe it too and they're willing to acknowledge Israel as the country it should be. Yipper!
7. 600 million euros for the europeans
JGedalov   (12.06.13)
Just because Israel wants to join the european horizon research program!!!! What are the benefits for Israel and israeli settlers? netanyahu doesnt knows economy!!!!
8. Laughable.Have Israel+the Palestinians agreed on one issue?
Sam ,   Canada   (12.06.13)
Maybe agreement on the lunch menu.Kerry trying to show he's accomplishing something. Erekat trying to show some support for Kerry because he doesn't want to alienate the US. The Palestinians are counting on the US and EU to boycott Israel down the line.
9. Trust the lying, cheating and deceiving Obama at your peril.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.06.13)
10. #4
Janice ,   Mobile usa   (12.06.13)
I agree! Netanyahu is a quiesing to O and K. He allows them to meddle in Istaels affairs at will...their will. They do t tell other countries what to do! Why Israel?
11. Closer to the precipice for Israel.
DT ,   TA Israel   (12.06.13)
Certainly not peace
12. Regarding Israel's security..
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (12.06.13)
..The PA would be compromised anyway by the other hard-core Palestinian outfits set on Israel's demise...too many to list Deal with the sworn enemies first, by force if they want it, and then the PA will be a stroll in the park... Why? Because they won't be threatened by the above mentioned
13. Ol' Horseface tirelessly working on the side of peace
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (12.06.13)
It would be interesting to know if he really believes in the schlock he's dishing out.
14. Dreamer Kerry
Brod ,   USA   (12.06.13)
Kerry can only dream. The problem is peace is not so close as Kerry dreams. Kerry may well be imbibing the Taqiyya of the Islamists-Jihadists. And he is being manipulated by them to become their dhimmi without him knowing it.
15. Sure
Craig Shipley ,   Maryland   (12.06.13)
Peace between Israel and Palestine will have no bearing on "bringing about peace, prosperity and security to people of Middle East". The big myth continues.
16. US wants to station international troops in WB
CJK   (12.06.13)
the obama regime wants to deprive israel of her national security by stationing american and international forces in the so-called west bank. if israel accepts, the jewish state will lose her sovereignty. israel's longest border would no longer be under the control of israel, but under the control of foreigners with their own interests and agendas. the very idea that an american general and 160 members of the us defence and intelligence agencies would draw up a plan regarding Israel's security is in itself a gross violation of Israel's sovereignty.
17. Netanyahu, be very careful
CJK   (12.06.13)
the so-called security arrangements presented by the americans have nothing to do with israel's security, but with allowing us and international troops to take over the west bank. hence, Israel would be unable to operate all along her long eastern border in her own defence. indeed, israel would be faced with an american force. allegedly friendly, but answering to the american president, with his own interests and agendas.
18. "Kerry: Israel, Palestinians closest to peace 'in years''
A ,   Belgium   (12.06.13)
Gee, that's funny. Just yesterday the headline read "Palestinians reject US security ideas for Israel peace accord". I wonder what made Kerry so optimistic one day after the "palestinians" spit in his face, did he dump another $75 mil in the "palestinians" suspiciously empty coffers? Did he promise Bibi a lifetime supply of ice cream for he and Sarahle...for FREE, in exchange for E.Jerusalem? As Elmer Fudd would say, "there's something scwewy goin' on around here"!
19. Kery must be on drugs...... The Middle East is in chaos!!!!!
OMG ,   Israel   (12.06.13)
Compared to before Obama it is 100 times worse. Bush only set Iraq and Afghanistan on fire. Obama has ignited the whole Middle East.
20. Yeah...right.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (12.06.13)
We are all glad to hear you are a successful negotiator....in your own mind.
21. how would he know?
(12.06.13)
I bet Kerry doesn't even know the details of the past proposals prior to this. he's still have some cute nativity about this conflict.
22. Before Obama screwed up the region...
Steve Klein   (12.06.13)
...giving up land was unthinkable! How much more that Obama has absolutely undermined and destabilized the entire region should Israel keep every square inch of soil?
23. Settler attacks on US GIs will turn Americans against Israel
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.06.13)
24. Peace process
gregg bowman ,   parksville, Canada   (12.06.13)
What a complete load of utter nonsense!!! If you think peace will come of this you are totally delusional!! warm regards, Gregg Bowman
25. Israel destroyed Iraqi reactor saving America's butt in 1992
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.06.13)
26. US GI's have no apetite to be killed to save Muslim butts
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.06.13)
27. #23, not mine. Posted by an Obamacare deranged zombie fan.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.06.13)
28. US GIs enter from Jordan & transfer Arabs to Mecca for Peace
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.06.13)
29. Israel destroyed Syrian reactor saving America's butt today
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.06.13)
30. I wouldn't push the panic
arne ,   chicago usa   (12.06.13)
button.Israel's too tough, too smart to buy into a bad "product".Let Kerry go home for Xmas, relax and get a count of her money.Look the way I see it this job gives him something to do and places to go.He's a nice guy just doesn't understand what's at stake over there.
