Better to end the negotiations if this is what Abbas has in mind.

Guillermo broiman ,   israel kfar saba   (03.03.14)
Demand things without giving nothing in exchange u rejoyce being the victim for the world but within ur fantasy state u support the destruction of Israel and release of terrorist from Israel. Maybe its u the one that must be jailed as your true face allways shows its true intentions
6. End ALL support for Fictional Palestine.
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.03.14)
Even as Holocaust denying mass murderer Abbas threatens Israel, the obscene flow of Israeli food, materials, money, electricity continues to enrich evil Fictional Palestine. Let us all rise up and demand the immediate, total and permanent end of Israeli support of Fictional Palestine. Stop supporting our enemies!! How foolish can we be? Israel should only help "Palestinians" leave our land forever.
7. We Do All This "Goodwill" Stuff, But......
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (03.03.14)
what have we received in return? Gournisht! We give them murderers, we give them freezes, we give them free electricity.... What do we get back? Threats! It is clear that it there will be no resolution with the Arabs, not this year, not this decade, not this century.
8. Arabs have no legal, historical claims to Jerusalem
CJK   (03.03.14)
arabs had waged a thousand year imperial, colonial wars on three continents, converting native populations to islam and building mosques on top of existing religious edifices. it is thus that the arabs had conquered and colonised jerusalem. it is thus that the arabs had built a mosque on top of the remnants of the two jewish temples. the arab muslims built this mosque as a sign of conquest and of religious superiority. jerusalem was never made a capital of any arab dynasty nor of the subsequent ottoman muslim empire. muslims pray in the mosque of jerusalem facing mecca, which is their holy city. jerusalem, the seat of zion, the holy city of judaism, which was founded by king david, has been the physical and spiritual center of the jewish nation through millenia, the city for which all jews prayed. jews will not give up the holy city of jerusalem for which millions have given their lives. without jerusalem judaism is dead and israel will perish as a jewish state. the arab muslims cannot win this fight, even with the help of obama, since their claim is illegitimate and a-historical.
9. Demands
James ,   USA   (03.03.14)
Abbas hasnt changed or shown flexibility in any of these talks Once he has what he thinks is the maximum of murders released he will appeal to deligitamize Israel. Israel on the other hand can take over all of the territories and add an extreme surcharge tax on those in the area for care, utilities, medical care, etc. if they can't pay the tax, out they go.
10. Expel Him Now
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (03.03.14)
We cannot allow these terrorists to threaten us.
11. Abbas ?I
yosef, phd ,   florida - israel   (03.03.14)
It is indeed time to terminate the ongoing FARCE ! Urgently identify a viable and credible younger falastyn negotiator (Dahlan ?) , get the hopelessly incompetent American administration out of the process - and for the successive Israeli governments to to show true mettle and political will, so lacking for almost two decades now.
12. USA
A V ,   London. UK   (03.03.14)
You play the big shot with Israel but with Russia you are big chicken
13. Go ahead leave! You gave up, we got everything!
manicdrummer ,   Haifa, Israel   (03.03.14)
You can't have your way, so you just take your ball and run home. Fine with us.
14. More Good News
(03.03.14)
hey abu mazen, leave the keys on the table, turn off the lights and dont let the door hit you on arse on the way out!!!
15. PA "two tracks", 1..talks, 2..ICC, UNSC, BDS all of Israel
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.03.14)
16. more threats from terrorist
max ,   washington dc   (03.03.14)
A zebra doesn't change it's stripes nor does a terrorist become a statesman by bribing him with millions of dollars. Abbas is still making threats and is no Peace Partner. Give him a free ticket on Etihad Airlines to the Emirates where he will feel more at home with his fellow terrorist supporters. Oh I forgot, Etihad can't fly him from Israel as they refuse to show Israel on their maps!
17. I demand BDS, UNSC, ICC, NATO, US GI's for Russia
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.03.14)
18. Greater Israel
Sam Tayar ,   montreal   (03.03.14)
#7: I agree wholeheartedly except with the "i" in gournisht which needs to be placed after the "h". Be well.
19. Abu Mazen is Israels BEST ally ! LOLOL
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.03.14)
20. #1 be fair to Abbas
(03.03.14)
Unlike Israel with its corrupt and opportunistic leaders wiling to sell the country for personal gain, the Palestinians have the rule of law and democracy. Abbas is bound by the PLO Charter. Abbas never lied to Israel or Kerry: even if he wanted to yield something he cannot because he was elected to follow the PLO Charter. Anyone who said that Abbas could compromise are either stupid or liars.
21. Gal On is our TROJAN horse
Sid ,   london   (03.03.14)
22. to 20
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (03.04.14)
What is it, you are smoking ?...Should have published this post in El-Jazeera..
23. FA "two tracks" states: Greater Israel and Greater Arabia
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.04.14)
24. let him do it
Howard Immanuelson ,   US   (03.04.14)
Let him declare the end of negotiations and go to international bodies. At that point the PA will have completely abrogated their agreements with Israel and it'll be time for Israel to unilaterally decide what lands they need and annex them, and start building a border wall. Abbas can appeal to his heart's content but it'll be game over.
25. "Thieves threaten to stop robbing banks"-sounds the same!
tom ,   tel aviv   (03.04.14)
26. Obumer threatens isolation and Kerry lauds the close…………….
Brett L ,   JHB RSA   (03.04.14)
unshakable ties of America and its closest ally Israel. Seems as if the left hand doesn't know or understand what the right hand is doing. Either that or he doesn't care...
27. Abbas-Ashrawi School of Negotation
Tim ,   Brighton   (03.04.14)
The Tactic is called Negotiation by Coercion First Rule: If you don't do as I demand then I will threaten Intifada, Boycott Blackmail. and an end to Talks Second Rule: Blame Israel Third Rule: Distract attention for PA failures and intransigence by inflaming hatred, and violence by incitement and racist propaganda Fourth Rule: Get UNWRA, AmNasty Int, Erdogan, UN Human Rights Council on side and singing from the same Hymn Sheet Pass or Fail? FAIL Abbas-Ashrawi...back to School Meanwhile for the Negotiators on both sides quietly and doggedly talking, fighting, trying to find solutions around problems away from the limelight,,,however long it takes THATS what we must support - not the ridiculous and tiresome 'will they-wont they' political theatre being played out now
28. #22 no
(03.04.14)
Do you doubt Israeli leader corruption? How about: Olmert, Livni, Sharon, Barak and Peres? Abbas: he was elected head of PLO. Has he ever said anything that would make anyone think he would violate PLO Charter? The only people smoking are people who think Abbas will compromise.
