Netanyahu, Abbas agree to meet again after reopening of direct talks

The palestinians will pay a very heavy price for the deaths of 4 israelis , that was for sure!

Indeed. And as expected, Israel got away scott free with the murder of 1400 innocent civilians a little while back. Funny that.

Netanyahu and Abbas have said they won't allow terrorist activity to stop this effort. I hope that they continue and try for some kind of accord. I continue to pray for peace. < :-)

This is a Obama's little show to save his popularity in hardships. We all know that peace between israel and palestinians shall never comes true! Perhaps Netanyahu has told Barak to prepare a massive air strikes with heavy bomb laden F16s once he get out of US airspace! 4 isrealis were slained may cause dearly for Gazans!!

Abbas is a fool if he believes the occupiers will abide by all UN resolutions, or that illegal settlement building will stop.

Ah, nothing like peace talks to bring out the true radicals.....must make them nervous or something.

So because we haven't seen peace, yet, we should just not try? Since Nixon, every president has tried to help get peace in the Middleeast. Can you imagine if we'd never tried? There would probably be more bloodshed and what kind of a world power would we be? < :-)

Occupiers? Are the Romans still threre?

Peace will never be achieved in that part of the world. The Jews don't want Muslim neighbors any more than the Muslims want Jewish neighbors. Those two religions both claim the same piece of dirt as their holy land. That's bound to create conflicts between them. Unresolved conflicts will lead to more violence in an attempt to resolve them.

And the wheels of the bus go 'round and 'round.

If the Palestinians weren't such crybabies and hate-mongers, peace in that region might be possible. But they live in perpetual world of self-victimization and blaming others. As a Jew, I hope Israel finally does what it needs to do to get peace for itself once and for all.

The late diplomat Abba Eban said it best: "The Arabs never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity" for peace.

ok ramen, I'll bite....what does israel need to do to?

many peopel think that all the arabs demend is an independet state in judea and samaria(the center of israel)and are unawar that israel had already agreed to that,in exchange for REAL PEACE AND ENDING THE CONFLICT.

but many are un aware that the arabs also demeed jerusalem as their capital,and full control over the holy site.israel can never agree to that,since during the 1300 years of mulsim occupation over israel,the jewss access to their holly sites was allways limited or forbiden,it could hapen again,it already happening now in hebron and nablus.

another thing is that israel is expeceted to creat one arab stae with zero jews in it,but to stile have a big arab minority dwelling in it.why dose transfering jews is ok but its not ok for arabs?jews have been living in israel constantly for over 3000 years,infact you cant find a single year in the last 2000 years without ant significant jewish presence in israel.transfer of poppulation for peace should be done on arsbs as well.

the arabs also demedn that the arabs that were evacuted from their towns during the 1948 war of libaretion would return to where they lived toghter with their offsprings(jafa,haifa,ace,lidiya,ramala,and others) not only that most of those towns were mainly old jewish towns like tsipori and yavne,the inhabitans were arabs that immigarted to in the late 19 centuru from egypt and algier,and they evacvueted by arab orders,not jewish orders(like in haifa and safed),but also today those towns are israeli big israeli towns(ashkelon,ashdod),who will evacuet them?who will compinsent them?no one.francly,the israeli army and police will not agree to carry out this task against jews in judea and samaria,so forget about evacuation inside the green line israel.

in sum,only the establishmenst of a palestinains state in jordan(80% palestinian),the elimnation of unra,and the compensation of the refugees from both sides,and the real end of violnce could bring peace.
