1. There is nothing to save. It's all a farce
Scott ,   Ramat Gan   (03.31.14)
The PA is only trying to get as many terrorists freed as possible.
2. Kerry the clown
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (03.31.14)
We will have to end up killing and recapturing most of these turds... Thanks allot Kerry, you clown.
3. Nothing that is being made public in this matter is to be
tom ,   tel aviv   (03.31.14)
believed, BUT: one never knows the depths of official Israeli stupidity! We may actually be begging for the terrorists to accept our offerings of Land of Israel. It's been done in the past (we've saved Arafat's diseased ass) and were on the verge of giving back Golan & god knows what. So: our moronic mind-set is not to be underestimated!
4. sharon, olmert, soon livni and bibi
marv   (03.31.14)
beyond the fact that the evidence dictated against making any more concessions to abbas and withdrawing, sharon offered more and then suffered 2 strokes and was finished. Olmert grabbed the reins aided by livni, was reckless in offering crazy concessions and now is going to jail no matter the arrogant bravado of his lawyers. Moreover, olmert could face obstructiuon of justice charges. livni is next in line to be punished by god for endangering israel. lastly bibi who is offering concessiions and not holding firm will also be punished by hashem for weakness in not defending israel. As I told you long agao, haaretz writers and livni and gal on on and haber and micheal oren can all visit olmert in jail cause that is where he is going after appeals. Rozen's judgement is based on credibility evaluation and olmert flunked his test. This cannot be reversed.
5. look at kerry
hy   (03.31.14)
kerry made no headway with lavrov on ukraine, iran nuclear negotations buy time for iran's nuclear bomb, syria is a mess, eghpt told kerry to go to hell and only bibi in israel folds like a cheap suit and makes livni like concessions at every turn. if you want to know the reason why bibi does this- offer concessions to sit with abbas which no one in his right mind would offer= here are 3- 1) bibi was a good kid growing up insecure, yoni was the military guy, bibi followed but had no soldier in him. 2) BIibi was shot as a soldier and did serve in operations, but other than that there is no report of anything special that he did. 3) bibi's influence was his commander ehud barak, a commando whose peace ventures were reckless and showed great weakness. It is clear that bibi only threatened by c ollapse does not say no to kerry as he has no guts himseilf, he tells kerry that his coalition willl collapse if he agrees with a prisoner release. What befell sharon, olmert, bad things will happen to livni and bibi and others who are endangering israel. it could be some corruption case, divorces, illness, who knows, . kerry is coming to israel- bibi stiffen your spine and say no to him regardless of his threats for once in your life.
6. How will the story be resolved...
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (03.31.14)
American power and influence is weakening all around the world. The dollar is on the edge of losing world reserve currency status. America is on a virtual suicide watch. We must not let them dictate any terms to us when they are under so much pressure and are nearing collapse. Israelis are NAIVE FOOLS. WAKE THE HELL UP.. America is desperate, they may start a nuclear war to cover up for their bankruptcy.. WAKE THE HELL UP.... America is NOT our Lord and Saviour... Get that through your heads... This includes the religious that are worried about the American's support for Israel. Do not let yourselves fall into heresy...
7. Kerry, Go Home
emanon ,   USA   (03.31.14)
First off, it is not the United States' place to try and intervene. Secondly it doe not matter what Israel or the US says, the arabs will not agree. It is that simple: if Israel is for it, the arabs are against it. At best, you might get one arab faction agreeing, but the rest will say they do not agree. It is a self-fulfilling prophecy: the talks will collapse.
8.  salvage peace talks
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (03.31.14)
Should read SAVAGE the Israeli government. This guy is a miserable joke. Unfortunately he can still threaten our leaders. I wonder after this coming round of forced humiliation of our leaders what God has in store for him and his country? It is guaranteed to backfire on this fool. Blessed Lord our God Creator of the Universe, humble and destroy your enemies and the enemies of your people Israel.
9. How to Extend Peace Talks... and Have Peace
markus ,   toronto canada   (03.31.14)
So far Israel has made multiple concessions (as they have in the past), just to appease the Palestinians and have them attend peace talks with Israel. What a joke! Everyone knows the ending to the latest version of the same movie. If Israel offered all of Jerusalem and the right of return, it would still not be enough for the Palestianians. When will the world wake up?! When will Israel grow a pair?!
10. #2
Harold ,   USA   (03.31.14)
John Kerry is not a clown. He will impose a peace agreement on both clowns and solve this Middle East conflict.
11. Peace Process
Steve Gure ,   coconut creek fl USA   (03.31.14)
I hope that I am wrong but as I see it so far the only one that is showing any credibility is Abbas. Obama and Bibi show absolutely nothing.
12. Distrust anyone who works for and obeys the WH Muslim.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.31.14)
13. The "Stall" Gift
Darren Ben John ,   Townsville Australia   (03.31.14)
Israel is obviously stalling for more time to steal more land to build more jewish ghettos, which will revert back into Palestinian hands.
14. pals will be fool to agree to any deal.
go to the un   (03.31.14)
they agreed not to go the UN for Israel agreement to release prisoners in 4 pulses. pals honors their commitment while Israel sis not.
15. Kerry bares responsibility for calmness, not agitation
JERSEY JEW ,   NJUSA   (03.31.14)
16. Pals don't want to extend talks about talks about talks
(03.31.14)
They just want to go to the UN. Wishing Kerry good luck in a world where US foreign affairs credibility is being stretched to its limit. Hence woken up again North and South Korea.
17. What more can be said
James ,   USA   (03.31.14)
These negotiations should have been 99% settled by now. Anything that construed a PA position or comprimise that divides Jersualem is not part of the discussion. The US or Kerry is not a negotiator if they offer an opinion publicly. If these things are as I see them, the PA fully hopes for the negotiations to blow up putting the best spin on their effort to show credibility to world bodies and only allowed the US to be a middle man so they could hammer their positions into the US mindset. The threats the PA made are real ( real class act, publicly threatening) . Anyway, Israel has two choices, give up the entire ideal of Zionism in the end game or squash this rebellion once and for all. Kerry is not the person to bring balance to this tug of war and needs to understand his diplomacy was appreciated but in the end, he cannot give up what is Israel's and cannot ask any nation to surrender murders to the street. In the US they have executions and multiple life sentences that mean just that. Can you imagine the US releasing terrorists so they can negotiate with Afghanistan? This gives the human race a new excuse for committing murder. When acting in the interest of an ideal or a state, they become a militia and subject to the rules of war, including those subject to collateral damage (per 4th Geneva convention). How fast can you say "build".
18. When are Israeli leaders going to get it
paulD ,   Jerusalem   (03.31.14)
Every leader who has trespassed on the rights of the Jewish people (even just in thought), according to Torah's definition of Jewish rights and morality, has lived the remainder of their lives either in shame or in a coma. Sorry to offend anyone that is happily living in a state of delusional enlightenment.
19. Why is Bibi offering anything to these people?
miriam ,   Jerusalem   (03.31.14)
The Arabs rejected the legitimacy of the Jewish people. What is there to extend? What is there to talk about? How long can one pretend that Arabs have anything to offer Jews?
20. Kerry the Dhimmi
Brod ,   USA   (03.31.14)
Kerry should stop being a Dhimmi of the Islamist-Jihadist world crusading against the Land of Israel. Israel should put a stop to this Islamist-Jihadism by Dhimmism. There are other critical issues that Obama and Kerry should be dealing with. They should be searching for the missing Malaysian Airliner hijacked by Islamist-Jihadist terrorists that may well be in Pakistan or Iran. Those Iranian Terrorists used stolen passports to board the plane. They should be focusing in ensuring peace in the Korean Peninsula that may well spark uncontrollably. Meanwhile, Congress should impeach Obama for committing Treason by meeting with Islamist-Jihadist Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist leaders at the White House, among other major offenses.
