1. Utterly embarrassing
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (05.17.16)
France bends over for the muslims interest only to become a laughing stock of public French theatre. This too shall pass leaving the pals worse off for being non stop illegal terrorists. Lose the pals annex all the land. KEEP BUILDING !!
2.  peace summit
mat ,   uk   (05.17.16)
EU US should look back at places they tried to make peace and take note of the results they are killing each other if they think they can make peace with the Palestiniansl they should know better the saying is they are flogging a dead horse
3. Such a sad, little, pathetic man: how can he be Head of sad,
(05.17.16)
pathetic Large country like France? Quite easily& naturally, it seems. No shame in spewing such nonsense....
4. Why Do US & France Need Permission?
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (05.17.16)
The US and France and lots of countries have mutual interests. The US oldest ally is France. Why do they need Israeli permission to discuss it. Nobody consulted the Palestinians about San Remo. You don't like Hollande or Kerry talking without permission. Try telling Trump who and what he can talk about with anybody.
5. France supports colonization
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (05.17.16)
They are a colonial power and support the largest colonial power in the history of the world - Islamofascists. All of their 'concerns' are caused by the Arab invaders
6. Delusions of grandor from Paris!
Shep ,   Memphis, TN - USA   (05.17.16)
Hollande's effort to appease his local Muslim constituancy is so transparent. His "colonialization" comment is a direct offense to ANYONE who supports Israel's legitimate historical right to the land of Israel. Come to think about it, what has France done right on a global or local scale? Wine? The California wine is every bit as good., if not better. France is a joke.
7. Is this a joke ?
Serge ,   Antwerp, Belgium   (05.17.16)
Because a conference is Paris will prevent terror and bring an end to the conflict. What a joke !
8. CONFLICTS
JONNY ,   UK   (05.17.16)
Am i reading this correctly? He is blaming all the mid east conflicts on the so called Palestinians and us
9. Two living examples of consistent
DT ,   TA Israel   (05.17.16)
global failure and bigotry, France, in any shape or form and Kerry.
10. Israeli govt. could easily end all this B.S.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.17.16)
These B.S. "peace talks with Palestinians" will continue until the Israeli government claims Judea and Samaria and stops pretending we will allow a terrorist "Palestinian" state to emerge. This tiny land is ours. Israel's government must stop paying homage to evil fictional "Palestine" and claim our over 4,000 year old ancestral heartland.
11. hollande and herzog-weaklings
jeff   (05.17.16)
hollande and herzog are like kindred weaklings paying ransom to terror. of course has beeen a weasel country since 1939. herzog is plummeting in the polls and is trying to save himself by joining bibib. netanyahu has no idea on what he is doing. he has no principles, flails about, has no record of achievement in the military and if he does, can a journalist find something he did other than being shot twice. he is afraid of obama, is afraid of the EU. afraid of putin and afraid of egypt. so he runs to concessions. the only reasoon why he has at times held ground was that lieberman and bennett were holding him up. his gaza campaigns did not do the job, just bandaids. the threat was not removed. if hezbollah attacked tommorrow, israel would lose under bibi and herzog who would run begging for ceasefires. its about time that yaalon dissociated himself from bibi. he stupidly attached himself to bibi and his vacillating strategies. as for lapid who wants tobe pm, he can fight, but he is dumb on security just like olmert who he learned mostly from. he is no answer. bennet, feiglin can lead israel. liberman and barkat can be there. bibi and herzog are disasters. we need new elections
12. French peace initiative
Olivier ,   Ashdod   (05.17.16)
FRANCE SHOULD FIRST FIX ITS OWN PROBLEMS BEFORE INTERFERING IN MIDDLE EAST.

14. Use the same argument as Kerry...
Robert ,   Antwerp Belgium   (05.17.16)
that the date is not convenient for Netanyahu. Maybe in November but only after being presented by the security measures taken to protect the head of states and diplomats. Paris is certainly a dangerous place nowadays since it is the target of Isis and has a homegrown islamist terrorist network. If the security measures are judged to be lacking ask then for a further delay....
15. #10, Chaim is 100% right !!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.17.16)
As ALWAYS !
16.  #10. "Israeli govt. could easily end all this B.S."
A ,   Belgium   (05.18.16)
Indeed it could, but not during the reign of King Bibi the Weak, who crumbles under the pressure of Oblabla, the U.nited N.othings, the E.uropean U.nimportants, etc. Unfortunatley for Israel, just as in the U.S., there appears to be no one who shows any potential leadership abilities, now or in the future.
17. 8 JONNY, slight correction
c   (05.18.16)
he is blaming the jews for all the ills of the world, including the rise of the islamic state. he also labels israel as a coloniser, responsible for terror attacks and ongoing wars. he considers israel to be the originall sin.
18. Hollande thinks he can force peace between Israel and the
A ,   Belgium   (05.18.16)
imaginary "palestinians", yet he is powerless to stop the violent demonstrations happening right now in Paris. Viva la hypocrisy!
