1. U.S. Demands a freeze.....?
Gideon Reader   (02.19.14)
Well if you poop in one hand and demand in the other, see which one is filled first. Israel should demand the charlaton government in the U.S.administration first abandon corruption and incompetence before making any humble requests of other nations. Turn your feckless face towards Ukraine and or Venezuela first morons.
2. tell kerry no
milson   (02.19.14)
tell kerry to take his framework and shove it up his ass. levin and danon should work the levers of likud to tie up bibi so he cannot make concessions. Then they should force a vote of non confidence in him and throw him out and replace him. Bibi is not sharon so he will not be able to be leader of a new party at the head of the government. Bibi has been influenced over the years by ehud barak, a lousy pm with olmert ideas which get israel into trouble time and again. israel should not involve itself in foreign long term adventures but when it has to take action, it should do so swiftly and decisively and then get out. If jordan valley is turned over to nato, US or abbas, it will begin the dismantling of israel and another genocide.
3. factually incorrect
michael ,   shomron   (02.19.14)
The 2010 freeze occurred with no talks. It was meant to be an,incentive to bring about talks but in,10 months of it abbas refused. After it was,over everyone complained we didn't,extend it. The political,impacts,of that mistaken move are evident by incorrect presentation of the facts such as here.
4. Kerry has brain FREEZE.
Ben ,   USA   (02.19.14)
5. Nuchush
Jews ,   USA   (02.19.14)
Why are the Jews not permitted to live in Palestine. That sounds racist.
6. That can stand for ever !
Roland Seener ,   London England   (02.19.14)
7. This means end of negotiations and B. Hussein can stuff it.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (02.19.14)
8. Not One Day: Not One Minute
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (02.19.14)
The Arabs can freeze their building this time in the name of peace.
9. Demand?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.19.14)
DEMAND? That's a big "No" to Jungle Boy and the Ketchup Kid.
10. No to the USA
James ,   USA   (02.19.14)
Exactly what has the US done right in the Middle East. Bazinga ... Nothing. The talks are just a front for the PA to establish a state unilaterally via the UN and to use all the perceived atrocities Israel has committed to gain votes. Answer, Israel will draw its own borders, tell the PA it is no longer occupied and go find its own water, sewage, electricity. Let the crying to the UN begin. Sanctions will not work as long as Israel has goods in demand elsewhere and really, has the UN shown any internal strength?
11. We told them so...
(02.19.14)
That Livni cannot do anything better than ynet talk backers and better to adopt open negotiations but no they just talk the talk but not walk the walk no pay for them with their secret negotiations that comes to nothing. So here we go again build Israel build and enlarge your costs.
12. To our leaders
Steve Goodman ,   Israel   (02.19.14)
only a fool will take advice or orders from someone who lives on the banks of the Potomac River on what Israel should do regarding our borders and settlements on the banks of the River Jordan.......Am Yisroel Chai
13. partial freeze
jenifer ,   jerusalem, Israel   (02.19.14)
the arabs do some freezing for a change! I'm sick of giving in and getting nothing but rockets and stabbings and bus bombings
14. ANONYMOUS SOURCE ON ARMY RADIO?
stude ham   (02.19.14)
hardly... we all know that it was Tokyo Rose doing the talking. are there more informed sources on the current stalemate?
15. Halt baby Halt
(02.19.14)
16. When USA withdraws
Benyamin Kanah ,   Ozark USA   (02.19.14)
When the USA withdraws from occupied Mexican lands, we may consider your proposal.
17. Obama returns US to 1776 borders after November elections.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (02.19.14)
18. Israel's lawyer helps avoid complying with International law
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (02.19.14)
#7 not mine.
19. The usual double standards
Daniel   (02.19.14)
Whenever an Israeli Arab criticizes the Israeli government, some (American) talk backers go nuts and demand the Arab should be expelled for not being loyal to the country. At the same time, day in and day out we see US talkbackers trash-talking the US and its administration. Talk about double standards, obviously they think it's fine for them to criticize their government but not for Israelis to do the same. So Steve, Sarah and others - you're welcome to leave the US whenever you want if you don't like it, nobody forces you to stay.
20. priorities
(02.19.14)
Libya, Syria, Central African Republic destroyed. Lebanon, Ukraine, Venezuala going the same way. Turkey and Egypt tottering on the brink. Japan rearming, Al Qaeda on the march. Yet, the only things that concerns the Obama regime are Jewish houses, attacking the Jews, weakening Israel and setting up a new corrupt or Islamic country. I hope Netanyahu has what it takes to send Obama and Kerry packing.
21. How to get rid of Abbas and his cronies
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (02.19.14)
This morning I heard Saeb Erekat on the BBC World Service program,"Hard Talk".With even the slightest challenge he worked himself up into a lather and started shouting uncontrollably.I really thought that he'd have a stroke.Now I read that The Palestinians,by which I suppose is meant Abbas and his cronies,are infuriated by construction. I suggest that Israel takes no notice of Kerry's request on the grounds that it was tried before and led nowhere,keep building and restrict the supply of high blood pressure medication to the West Bank Arabs. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
22. #9 Sarah Bee
Darren Ben John ,   Townsville Australia   (02.19.14)
If Obama is Jungle Boy, then who are you? (remembering that you are only ((allegedly)) a female and that you are jewish?)
23. #9 - Demand freeze?!
yosef, phd ,   florida - israel   (02.19.14)
These primates can demand all they want: that does not take too much brains. However, it is Bibi, that often is spineless, even cowardly, that is of concern...
24. Arab League lawyer avoids complying with International law
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (02.19.14)
25. Meanwhile, US settlement of American Indian lands continue.
Steve Klein   (02.19.14)
26. I copied my #18 from Mearsheimer and Walt,famous Antisemites
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (02.19.14)
27. To: Steve Benassi, Silver Bay, MN USA
Steve   (02.19.14)
You are getting what you richly deserve. If a person of people are posting in Sarah B's name, why shouldn't they post in your name?
28. Obama and Kerry return US to 1776 borders after November.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (02.19.14)
29. NO freezes ever. This land is ours!
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.19.14)
Let every good patriot demand UNLIMITED Jewish building in all of Judea and Samaria forever.
30. To: No. 22
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.19.14)
I didn't change my name. Barry Soetero did, in order to be more in touch with his African roots. As he is on the record for having said. He is also on the record -- both while at Columbia and while at Harvard -- as claiming that he was born in Africa. So -- was he lying then? Or is he lying now? Keeping in mind, of course, that the United States Constitution REQUIRES that the president of the United States be born in the United States.
