There will be no peace until both sides decide to honor agreements. As long as the Palestinians lob rockets into Isreal there can be no peace! Peace will only come when both sides want peace and that time has not yet arrived!!

President Obama should tell both parties that United States will provide proction to both people if they both settle to pre 1967 borders and live side by side. This is the only solution. We have to be trustworthy and just to both people. We can not risk United States security for any other nation. God help us solve this crisis. Time is now!

PM Fayyad, by creating the infrastructure for a new Palestinian state, is moving steadily to resolve this issue. Second, there is the problem of building trust with the Israeli government. President Abbas is struggling with that one. Finally, there is the division between the PLO and Hamas. Although it may seems hopeless at the present time, this is one of President Abbas' deepest concerns. Palestine needs both its President and its Prime Minister in order to address these issues. The recent surge towards a peace settlement in the Israeli left is indicative of something brewing under the surface as these talks in Washington commence. Change is in the air; and change is demanded from both sides. President Obama is right to be concerned that someone might try to upset the applecart, We have a year to see how things turn out. As an Israeli might put it: Here's to Life!

Rather we want to admit it or not, our support for Israel has caused hatred towards the United States. I know many call all Muslims terrorist, but that label can also be placed on the Israelis. Just Google the King David Hotel Bombing. It depends on what side you are on if you call them terrorist or freedom fighters. I am not trying to take sides with either party because there is enough blame to go around. Pray for peace!

It's unfortunate to hear of the shooting of four Isaelis right before the talks began, so I hope it won't cast a pall over this opportunity. Israel will not abandon the disputed territories and will continue to build new settlements, which has been a major stumbling block. Despite pressure from the US and censorship from the rest of the world, Israel will not back down. Any concessions must come from the Palestinians. Let us not forget how the state of Israel was founded by the UN in 1948, mostly orchestrated by the Americans and the British. Israel was carved out of Palestine and lands were confiscated from Palestinians where their families may have lived for centuries. Remember the Jewish people were forced out of Palestine 2,000 years ago, so it has been the home of the Palestinian people since that time. Let us also remember that the Palestinians were in no way responsible for the Halocaust, yet they have suffered as a result of it. They are the ones who lost their homes and lands in order to establish a Jewish state and no one asked them how they felt about it and they were not compensated. How would Americans feel if part of our country were confiscated to set up a state for a people who had no country of their own? How would we feel if homes and lands of Americans were confiscated with no compensation to establish this state? The Israelis seem incapable or unwilling to see the situtation from any other point of view except their own. They insist they are The Chosen Ones and deserve this land, despite of the impact on the Palestinian people. So nothing will come of these talks because Israel will never yield anything for the sake of peace. By the way, we send Israel $10 million PER DAY in financial and military aid, so it's probably American money being used to build these illegal settlements in the disputed territories.

If not only they and I will know who they favor in this case. But enough of that. Picture this-Obama meets with Netanyahu from Israel first, and tells him-"Look you hot headed, uncompromising, troublemaker, if you don't give in to the Palestians, the U.S. will see to it Israel is screwed, so cave in". Then Obama meets with Abbas and tells him-"Hello my Muslim brother, I just met with that clown Netanyahu and told him Israel had better cave in to your demands or else. If they want screwed, we will screw them." Netanyahu was shocked, oblivously, and for good reason, but Abbas was delighted. He replied to Obama, my Muslim brother, it is so great to have a Muslim in charge now. Now we can screw Israel together. This is meant as sarcasm, and to illustrate the manner that the U.S. has meddled into the Middle East and only made the tensions worst. What is really needed is for Israel and the Palestians to meet with open minds, ignoring the meddling of outsiders, and agree to, and put into action, the route to lasting peace. Both sides must stop being nasty and look at each other as having rights. Then determine how those rights for each side can be achieved in a manner that uplifts Jews and Palestians alike. Otherwise, these talks will never succeed and the killing will continue. Let all decent men hope and work towards that peace.

I speaks of the peace and safety cried for, Israel becoming a burdensome stone to all the world, world economic crisis, one world government, Russia, Turkey, Iran alliance against Israel, and considerably more. God says they will cry peace, when there can be no lasting peace. One man will create a peace agreement, which will be followed by war. There can be no peace with countries that only want the total inihalation of another.

Israel has put palestinian in concentration camps for the last 43 years under the name of Security and has fooled the rest of the world..
