1. Obama/Kerry
Arturo   (04.29.14)
Looks like Seab is taking his talking points for Obama/Kerry
2. Kerrifat´s words reverberating again.
Erez   (04.29.14)
Erekat is just taking advantage of what the unofficial foreign minister of the Fakestinian authority, John Kerrifat, said yesterday in a "restricted" forum. Now we know how Barry Soetoro´s administration intends to blackmail Israel.
3. apartheid
Robert ,   lost in farmington   (04.29.14)
there is that word again, thanks to Kerry. "apartheid" now everybody is throwing it around, Kerry needs to just keep his big mouth shut. Erekat is wrong Israel has always chosen peace, while the Palestinians, Erekat and Kerry has chosen stupidity, and lack of common sense.
4. Terrorist Hamas
Harold ,   USA   (04.29.14)
Arafat was the greatest terrorist in the eyes of the Israelis but they sat down and negotiated with him Why Israel decided not to discuss anything with Abbas because of Hamas.
5. There have never been
Sagi   (04.29.14)
In the entire history of the human race better candidates for the kindergarten than the leaders of Palestine and Israel, all of them past and present. People suffer and die and all they can say is "he hit me first". The world is sick fed up with both of them. Since 1917 the world powers and organizations have provided opportunity after opportunity for settlement and subsequent development of both nations for the sake of their people. One side wants war and destruction. The other side wants the opponents to disappear. Wars and exercises in futility have been the order of the day for almost 100 years. It is time to leave kindergarten. It is even time to graduate from high school.
6. Palestinian 2 state solution is 2 Palestinian states
Sam ,   Canada   (04.29.14)
The Palestinians will pursue their diplomatic activity where they count on everybody to be too stupid and too naive to understand that they seek the destruction of Israel. Whatever, Israel controls the territory and Palestinians will have nothing but a make believe state without a peace agreement acceptable to Israel.
7. Saeb Erakat
Dov ,   Toronto   (04.29.14)
Clean up your own filthy and corrupt house Saeb, You and the PA leadership are stealing from your own people, denying them a life of peace and harmony. Instead you are inciting with lies and hatred to the masses while you keep the fattening your bank accounts, You are a greedy hateful man with the brain of a jackal!
8. Even Kerry brainwashed by Palestinian Apartheid propaganda
(04.29.14)
9. erikat is a smooth talker & responsible for talk breakdown
zionist forever   (04.29.14)
Erikat is a very smooth talker in his fluent english shows great flattery when being interviewed on the english speaking press can't help to like him the way he comes across. He was though the man who more than any was responsible for the end of the talks and the fact the prisoners were not released. He said that Abbas had no plan to continue talks beyond Abril 29 and he would then go to the UN for a solution he just wanted to stick it out till April 29 get the prisoners out. The Israeli government decided we are not going to be played for fools and release the prisoners if Abbas is going to go to the UN anyway once he gets his prize so Erikat has more blame than anybody.
10. Erekat....
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (04.29.14)
...is despicable. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
11. Is Ereket A Liar ?!
Robert Blum ,   New Albany, USA   (04.29.14)
Ereket is a propagandist whose crap he spews is appealing to leftists and to so-called "Palestinian" sympathizers! Islam is Apartheid in its abusive treatment of women and in its lack of equality for any non-Muslim ever! Israel may not be called Apartheid, because Muslims, including women, have the same rights as Jewish people. They may vote, hold political office, become Israeli diplomats and serve in the military, and work for the same salaries as Jewish people earn, and own land! The Jews, as per Abu Mazen, the murderer and Holocaust denier who is also called Abbas, promised that NO Jews will ever live in "Palestinian" territory! Ereket is a LIAR!
12. What's wrong with an 'apartheid' regime?
Sam ,   PT   (04.29.14)
Just like you wouldn't share your home with anyone else's family no matter what name they call you, the entire land of Israel belongs to this one big Jewish family and to no one else. Who cares what our enemies call us? Because it belongs to the Jews, no one, not even the PM, has the right to give away even 1 little piece.
13. He forgot Israel has released many terrorists
Naomi   (04.29.14)
in these 9 months. Instead of acknowledging, PA constantly tries to find fault to blame Israel, and get an excuse to stop peace talk. PA has done NOTHING but talked UNWILLINGLY. In the end, they threw in the towel and go for unilateral action - which shows that these 9 months is just an act on their part, just to get the prisoners released and pretending to talk.
14. Two Rotten Choices For Israel!
joyce fraser ,   USA   (04.29.14)
1. agreeing with enemy plans for the sake of diplomacy, assuring lethal, long-term, end results for Israel, or 2. remaining in a state of constant vigilance, while hoping that Israel's enemy-Arab neighbors suddenly become sincere, respectful and loving, toward Non-Muslims.
15. apartheid
hesh ,   NY, usa   (04.29.14)
Thanks Mr. Kerry for introducing this language in the Israel Palestine conflict.
16. Palestinian 2 state solution is 2 Palestinian states
Sam ,   Canada   (04.29.14)
The Palestinians will pursue their diplomatic activity where they count on everybody to be too stupid and too naive to understand that they seek the destruction of Israel. Whatever, Israel controls the territory and Palestinians will have nothing but a make believe state without a peace agreement acceptable to Israel.
17. In this case: let's throw the baby(Peace) out with the water
tom ,   tel aviv   (04.29.14)
(Abu Adolf Mazen Erekat, Tib,i Zoabi & assorted Jihadists)! How about it, fellow Israelis?
18. you are a lying thieving murdering genocidal people.
ralph   (04.29.14)
19. Arabs choose apartheid over Peace in all their 22 entities
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (04.29.14)
20. New words
James ,   USA   (04.29.14)
Erakat simply echoes whatever words he thinks are popular to gain a convincing argument. With certainty this is neither ethnic or racial cleansing. Based on the volume of comments and the basic theme, it seems to me that the correct term would be removal of terrorists, evil thoughts, the corrupt values and despicable education of children to continue an unending hatred. The thoughts of the international community coming to the rescue of the Palestinians (sic) is no more than a pebble thrown into a lake. The lies have pushed even the left to no longer give sympathy. The few that will remain after all the building, wars if the Palestinians demand it and the inability to function in an economic system devoid of welfare are going to be of no consequence. No country will be made on a postage stamp.
21. APARTEHIED? Really?
Mike caton ,   vestal, NY USA   (04.29.14)
To cite just one example in NON-Apatheid Israel: 20 % of the student body at Haifa University is..... ARAB !!
22. Thanks
(04.29.14)
Thanks His Goodness apartheid Palestinia never materialised so we can move all over the land taking possession.
23. #15 apartheid
(04.29.14)
Actually the word has been here in this conflict for some time and Israel can thank itself for that.
24. If it looks like a duck ..., Then it probably is a duck
Doug ,   Rochester, USA   (04.29.14)
Apartheid walls, Apartheid settlements, Apartheid checkpoints, Apartheid laws, Apartheid buses, Apartheid roads, Apartheid administrative detention = Apartheid regime. It is as simple as that. If you don't like the term Apartheid, stop being Apartheid.
25. Doug and Barking Kat are right. Fukestinia is Apartheid.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (04.30.14)
26. if it walks like a duck...
tom ,   toronto, canada   (04.30.14)
the only racist regime in this context is the palestinian anarchy, which has already announced that not a single jew will be allowed to live in the land which it doesn't even have yet. but it has already made it punishable by death to sell property to a jew. now that's real apartheid!
27. News Flash !!!!!
Ben ,   USA   (04.30.14)
NEW HEADLINE Erekat chose terror (Hamas) over peace.
28. #24 Limited vocabulary
Benji ,   US   (04.30.14)
No need to think when you can live in a world of pretend. The Palestinians earned their walls, checkpoints and stagnation.
29. Arabs chose TERROR, as usual. NO PEACE. (end)
jimy ,   Brooklyn, USA   (04.30.14)
