1. general and his socialite.
michael Pielet ,   israel   (12.22.13)
This general does not know Israel from the Antarctica. No security arrangements will ever replace the israeli security forces presence in Judea and Samaria. general was retired because of his very poor judgement in sending thousands of e-mails to his socialite-groupie in Tampa Fl. obama, kerry, general will all be gone and israel will be left holding the terrorist bag.
2. The Arab League already said no to Allen's peace plan

5. run forest run! stupid is as stupid does. Helping obama
now that is stupid ,   Impeach obama   (12.22.13)
6. Obama's meddlings are tiresome
CJK   (12.22.13)
no american general can solve israel's security needs. israel's security needs arise from the fact that she is surrounded by murderous enemies. israel's security forces know this enemy better than any foreigner, however prominent. let us not forget that obama has left iraq and will leave afghanistan without solving the security situations in those two countries. winning the war is not the same as winning the peace.
7. Place in History
Bill Stein ,   USA   (12.22.13)
If Bibi makes history like Obama wants him to and sells out Israel Bibi will have a place in History as a traitor to Israel and the Jewish people.
8. Even if he is best and has good intentions Obama will change
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.22.13)
plan to harm Israel.
9. hey ! Israel is under total attack by USA !

10. ISRAEL LOST ITS INDEPENDENCE ! IT'S A CRIME AGAINT ZIONISM !

11. Ezekial 37:26
Adam Neira ,   Di Zahav   (12.22.13)
"I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and increase their numbers, and I will put my sanctuary among them forever." Or if you like... "Blessed be the Peacemakers"
12. Allen's socialite is Jill Kelly, born Jill Khawam
Devorah   (12.22.13)
She is Lebanese. She is the same Jill Kelly who was responsible for the FBI taking down General Petraeus. She is known as an "unofficial" mediator between the U.S. Central Command in Tampa and unspecified ME leaders, but she is not employed by the U.S. government. She has been a guest at the White House. Something is very wrong with this picture, and I would not trust Gen. Allen as far as I could throw him.
13. Is this for real?
nj gramps ,   NJ USA   (12.22.13)
So Israel is supposed to put the lives of hundreds of thousands of its citizens at risk for decades based on the judgment of an officer forced out of the US Army for exhibiting extremely bad judgment who has no real experience in the area. Sounds almost like the idea of electing as a president someone who never held a real job.
14. Trust America?
Carl   (12.22.13)
Oh pulease, does anyone in the middle east trust the USA anymore?
15. "Price Tag" attacks on US troops will turn US against Israel
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.22.13)
#8 not mine.
16. To All Commentators
Harold ,   USA   (12.22.13)
Obama said "IF i WANT TO DO SOMETHING I WILL DO IT" To send General Allen to participate in the Middle East problem means something will happen very soon and very soon.
17. why don't we face the truth?
le ,   canada   (12.22.13)
there were, and there are many, many great, decent, knowledgeable, well meaning people tried to solve the insolvable problem. oil and water DON'T MIX! if jews can not establish the state of Israel from the river Jordan to the sea, sooner or later Israel will disappear....period.
18. Gen Allen and US 'security plan'
Dr. Moshe Israel   (12.23.13)
It is all fine and dandy but at the end of the day the so-called 'two state solution' is a death trap for Israel. The Ramallh thugs have never stopped their violent htred in their media and education. They deny Jews a connection to the land. They distort history. Abbas has no mandate for signing anything and Hamas candidly says it would never sign any agreement with Israel. The so-called agreement that Kerry and Obama want to force on Israel serves only their myopic perspective on the conflict. Their recent Foreign Policy record in the Middle East is nothing short of frightening for their stupidity and failures in Egypt, in Lybia, Iran,etc. Israel should NOT cave in to the dictates of this fading power!!!
