Stan ,   Israel   (01.01.14)
Because Iran is not a threat to Israel's security
32. Since nothing is ever required of the Arabs
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (01.01.14)
There can never be peace. They have never fulfilled a single obligation, never offered or accepted a single concession, violated every single provision of every treaty that they have ever signed and openly declare the goal of our genocide. That is the absolute facts. With the Arabs there can be no peace EVER
33. kerry will fail
alan ash ,   nyc ny   (01.01.14)
Kerry will fail . Abbas will make sure of it ,
34. Neither Obama or Kerry understand the charade!
Michael Redbourn ,   Lisbon Portugal   (01.01.14)
35. Your op. ed. is illogical, uninformed and ridiculous
Ross Gallen ,   Henderson, USA   (01.01.14)
Your op. ed. is illogical, uninformed and ridiculous. Kerry and his leftist supporters do not give a whit as to what happens to Israel and the Jewish people. The Jewish people did not anoint Kerry nor did they endow him with the authority to compromise Israel and its future. Kerry has no personal stake in Israel’s survival. He is driven by leftist ideology and vanity. He represents the extreme left wing of the Democratic Party and it social agenda that is unable to accept the resurrection of a strong Israel on the world stage. Never forget that Kerry is the spear of the Obama Administration that thinly covers itself with court Jews for the purpose of showing engagement. These are not the people who you would want as comrades in arms. The Obama Administration cannot point to one success for the last five years. It has been riddled with scandal and a persistent refusal to display accountability in the face of international and domestic failures. Israel should not become the poster child for the follies of Kerry and Obama.
36. Americans ARE sick and tired because...
shnitzleman ,   chicago   (01.01.14)
Americans ARE sick and tired of situation, primarily because the adolescents that govern the USA have never had to confront, real, bloody, life taking terror on the homeland, in every city, for decades, non-stop. They correctly responded to 9-11, but forbid Israel from acting in kind to 100 9/11's. The hypocrisy is deafening. And so is the tepid apathy coming from Members of the Tribe in the USA. For Shame...
37. #28, why wait 10 years?
Bob ,   USA   (01.01.14)
Dan, after 60 years of war, compromise, broken promises, deaths of our own, do you think 10 more years is really required ? Nope, go right to the next part since we already know the REAL agenda of those of "The Religion of Peas". The conflict will end only when our boot is on their neck.
38. #9 they used to
(01.01.14)
Originally, the Left said surrendering to PLO was moral. Then it turned out PLO was immoral: you got dead Jews and dead/tortured Arabs. Then the Left said demographics were the threat, until it was proven that surrender to PLO demands made demographics worse. The only thing the Left has now is to beg foreigners to violently force the Zionists to comply with PLO demands.
39. #30. Left is infallibly wrong.
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.01.14)
The left has been dangerously wrong about every single major issue since Israel was founded. You can still see dumb leftist leaders on video telling Israel how wise it is to flee Gaza. The Patriotic Right is morally obliged to take the reins of power forever and save Israel from leftist lunacy.
40. the US hasn't changed
rm ,   NL Amsterdam   (01.01.14)
and there is nothing wrong with Kerry or Obama. It's Israel that has become so militantly rightwing that it sees peace as a threat instead of being a necessity. It has deluded itself that nothing it does will change the fact that the palestinians do not want peace and only want to betray the innocent jews and remove them from the Holy Land.
41. #2. S.B. Your incisiveness always delights & enlightens.
Bernie ,   Erehwon, USA   (01.01.14)
How sad that the leftists have forsaken even common sense.
42. You cannot lose what you do not have
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (01.01.14)
43. No we havent lost our minds Kerry is too smart
Milk D ,   East Coast/USA   (01.01.14)
to play Bibis and many other PM of Israels stalling tactics...come April there will be a deal on the table that will be signed by both sides, that's not in dispute. And as a reminder there is a long time till an election in the US...Israel cant escape the deal she can either accept or have imposed on her, and you aren't dealing with Kenya or Ethiopia we are the USA enough said>
44. # 10, Noodles & # 20
Ginette Golden ,   Toronto, Canada   (01.01.14)
My money is on WILBUR darlings!
45. #39, Stuck in prehistory?
Michael ,   California, USA   (01.01.14)
This division into "Leftists" and "Rightists" makes as much sense as your grandmother's tschulent. On every issue there are always more than those two prehistoric camps. For instance, many Israelis who you would call "Rightists" support the two-states solution. Update yourself, please.
46. #14, And a Happy New Year to you too, today.
Michael ,   California, USA   (01.01.14)
47. there won t be any deal
trump   (01.01.14)
kerrry will get nothing.
48. Yes he has, and so has Oblabla
A ,   Belgium   (01.01.14)
Kerry probably can't wait to see the look of joy on the terrorist Abbas' face when he informs that the US is raising the PA annual handouts by $14,000,000. Ah, oops...that wasn't reported on Ynet, was it supposed to be a secret? Guess those hard working American taxpayers are REALLY gonna be pissed off at Oblabla now!
49. # 43 Funny you should mention Kenya
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (01.01.14)
We are the U.S. with a Kenyan Muslim running the country. I wouldn't brag about it if I were you. Just because our dear leader can impose Obamacare on us doesn't mean he can impose squat on Israel.
50. #45,frequenting more IslamoNazi websites today, Khazar hoax?
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.01.14)
51. He wants our death
Arik ,   Hadera Israel   (01.01.14)
Never trust an American! They betrayed all their allies in history!
52. Kerry and the peacefrog
faster_blue ,   bartlett USA   (01.01.14)
Kerry wants to be POTUS. If he can get the Jews and the Arabs to agree on anything that puts him ahead of Hill-de-Beast. She will be remembered as one of the Worst SoS's ever. Kerry will tell the Democrats, I have already done what she couldn't. Make me President so I can finish the job. Suckers will fall for it. Reality is the only peace available is the peace of the grave. Who dies has yet to be resolved.
53. #50, And a Happy New Year to you too, today.
Michael ,   California, USA   (01.01.14)
54. lost minds and options
Mark Thomason ,   Clawson, MI, USA   (01.01.14)
This article does not mention another option available to the US and EU: they could blame Israel for the failure, and begin to offer genuine help to the Palestinians. They could recognize a nation, impose sanctions to support it, and change everything. They likely would not, but that is also an option they have and they'll at least consider. The EU has a significant number of people who already support that idea.
55. #30, it doesn't. You lack of knowledge of history is obvious
(01.01.14)
56. #53, None for you supporter of violent Muslim Arabs and BDS.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.01.14)
57. 43.
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.01.14)
Yes, you are the USA. Exactly right, you are, in debt up to your eyeballs to China for the rest of your sorry life. Have a fantastic happy fruitful new year.
58. # 57 Birdi..
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (01.01.14)
You got that right. Some people think sending our jobs to China and Asia is clever. What can you expect from people think Kerry is smart? Milk D probably believes in the tooth fairy and Obama's birth certificate.
59. US state secretary
venze ,   malaysia   (01.02.14)
Kerry may not have lost his mind, but he does appear to be blur and uncertain on certain crucial international issues. As the top US diplomat, that matters much. (vzc1943)
60. to #54
Carl   (01.02.14)
Or the US could admit that Minnesota was illegally taken from native Americans and give it back to them
