1. Yeah Right- better to declare that Jews have no connection
MadDad ,   Johannesburg   (12.26.17)
At all to Jerusalem
Who cares what happens to the east - if the Arabs don’t care why should I?
They are free to make it into a Singapore- but all they want is to make it Israels problem
2. Another dreamer
Sam ,   Montreal   (12.26.17)
There was no resolution to the Geneva Initiative. There was no peace resolution by either Arafat or Abbas. Why? Because the Palestinians reject a Jewish state and only use the peace process to get free concessions and as propaganda to get Western political support and money. Their 2 state solution is to be handed the West Bank with East Jerusalem's holy sites on a silver platter and then Israel proper thru a right of return. The Palestinians say they cannot take it away from their people. There is no peace process until there is a positive endgame not everything to the Palestinians , as they demand.
3. Speak to the "Palestinians"
solomon ,   bklyn   (12.26.17)
They are the ones avoiding and also breaking agreements!
4. Possible peace with Palestinians
BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (12.26.17)
is akin to possible friendship with a hungry python.
5. do soldiers really know anymore
james   (12.26.17)
soldiers learn how to fight and defend. once they enter service and the retire, their record is not good when it comes to peace talks. ehud barak was a disaster, getting an F as political operative. Rabin, a good man, was not much better. yadlin also gets an F for his political offerings. along comes inbar with his comments saying free passage to respective sites and monuments. Really? What planet do you live on> And arabs are honest0- they say they don't want jews even in west al quds as they call it. so what planet do you live on.

like gil sher, you don't know what you are talking about period.
6. 70 years later
BBB   (12.26.17)
peace isn't a word used by Arab Palestinians.

Islam means surrender or submit never peace.
7. First, this idiot-author-general, has to produce a living,
(12.26.17)
breathing specimen of a "Palestinian" complete with genealogy, history and few artifacts to support it, only then can he dream about giving away Land of Israel, especially Jerusalem!
What a wanker!
8. 'the other side of the border
tiki ,   belgium   (12.26.17)
There is no other side of the border.....or does he mean Jordan?

Jordan & Israel, the 2 countries that must solve the "Palestinian problem as the problem became a problem when Jordan/Palestine didn't recognize the Israeli borders in 1948.
9. Inbar is wrong. Putting lipstick on Arab pig it's still pig.
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (12.26.17)
10. # 9 Steve and a waste of good lipstick.

11. Israel's historic chance to end "Palestine" hoax forever!
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.27.17)
Gioria Inbar's article is lunatic. Why, on earth, would Israel ever want more "peace talks with Palestinians"? This is not the path to peace and never has been. It simply gets more Israelis maimed and murdered, while paving the way to turn Israel into a 9 mile wide concentration camp.

The WW II Allies showed us the path to true peace. Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin created real permanent, throughout Europe and Asia, by stomping the Nazis and Japanese till they surrendered unconditionally. Israel needs to do the same to "Palestinians".

Evil fictional "Palestine" is down. Now is the time to stomp it! Israel can do so, with little military force. Simply end the mad flow of Israeli food, money, electricity, work permits etc. which keep evil fictional "Palestine" afloat. Plus massive Jewish building, and sovereignty, in Judea and Samaria.

Israel is now presented with a historic opportunity to end the "Palestine" hoax once and for all. Let us go all out and take full advantage of it! Our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, to the end of time, will thank us.
12. Peace with Pals?
(12.28.17)
BS after 70 years of terror, the pals now know that there IS no palestine just some squatting arabs who prefer Israel over any of the Arab nations from which they hail from.
13. One thing for sure
BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (12.31.17)
There will NOT be a Palestinian capitol in Jewish Israel.

Thank you President Trump!!

KEEP BUILDING !!
