Annapolis joint declaration to focus on goals of final status talks

Within a few hours, we get from you: "Israel has no Committment whatsoever" and: "Israel`s committment is one of Generosity" T do not think that needs any more comment.

with no 'force majeure' imposed upon her and therefore Palestinians should be ever grateful for this. Instead of which Palestinians will not give up on their Terror nor relinquish their deepest animosity against Israel which is clear to see when they refuse to accept its existence nor stop Terror. These are two of the obligations which Palestinians are required to implement before the Road Map goes on course and now due to Palestinian intransigeance the Road Map is all but dead. As long as Paestinians continue in this arogant way, while Israel has to keep making concessions....there is little hope of seeing that 'Palestinian State' being realised any time soon.

"Israel has no Committment whatsoever towards the Creation of the Proposed Palestinian State" Israel has committed to the Road Map with the objective of a two-state-solution. Israel has committed to the Annapolis summit with the declared objective of creating the preconditions for a Palestinian state. Perhaps you have a very singular understanding of "commitment" ...

towards the Creation of the Proposed Palestinian State.It is hard to understand the justification of the 23rd ARAB STATE IN THE JEWISH HOMELAND, whereas Arab Leaders do bear responsibility towards their very own Homeless and Displaced Brethren but have intentionally pushed the onus on to Israel's shoulders and the world has accepted it all because of - OIL! Following is an authentic Quote from the Speech by the Syrian Prime Minister after the 1948 War accepting Arab Leaders responsibility for urging the Palestinian/Arabs to flee the area : "SINCE 1948 IT IS WE WHO DEMANDED THE RETURN OF THE REFUGEES - WHILE IT IS WE WHO MADE THEM LEAVE - WE WROUGHT DISASTER UPON ARAB REFUGEES BY INVITING THEM AND BRINGING PRESSURE UPON THEM TO LEAVE" Speech by Khaled Al-Azm Syria's Prime Minister after the 1948 War. Note; "We wrought disaster upon Arab refugees by bringing pressure upon them TO LEAVE"... and not because of the Jews who begged the Arabs to stay.

...would get initiative and - on its own - after a glance at Israeli aliya laws, draft the recognition of the Jewishness of Israel already now? Would that enable a proof of Israel's core-issues flexibility for the Annapolis joint declaration already?

I do not recall one single case promise or committment that Israel kept. Would like to know from readers a list of those promised and legal committments that Israel ever honored either toward the Palestinians or toward the US or the UN.

Annapolis ?ante portas? with all its expectations or disappointments is now just two weeks away and apparently the Israel side is not yet found a consolidated position. From media of various countries it looks that the Palestinian Arab ?partner? sticks unmovable to something close to 1967 situation without the necessary flexibility to adjust to present times and conditions. So the outlook for a real success of this grandiose one day conference with the festive White House dinner with quite a number of prior reservations beyond the expressed US will to show tangible results, maybe also for their own internal needs. From Prime Minister Olmert who definitely must be under more than usual pressure owing to his ongoing criminal investigations under a new Prosecutor General, already started by okay from Attorney General Menahem Mazuz plus his declared personal health status may make him ready unbalanced / unauthorized promises. Also it appears that Israel?s Foreign Tzipi Livni follows ?somewhat different ways? and as well as the open enough ?hinted? position of Defense Minister Ehud Barak different approaches / opinions a problem exists how to promulgate an Israel authoritative guidelines for this mission and its members and have prior to their departure a parliamentary discussion and decision on all points limiting responsibilities for overstepping. They should know the parliamentary guidelines and responsibilities for their actions

the nation-state of the Jewish people and a future Palestinian state will be the nation-state of the Palestinian Arab people. If the Palestinians can not bring themselves to state the obvious as stated above do not desrve that we, Israelis, even talk with them.

Does anyone ,in the government of Olmert, foresee how much pressure will be forced on Israel at Annapois ? Israel is the looser that knowingly goes to Annapolis in order to loose. And the opposition? Stuttering some unrecgnisable mild protests. Go Israel...loose.

public with the done deal. Dumb Israelis have elected him,now they're reaping rewards-dismantling of the State

America to Israel: "Let's just have a successful peace conference. We don't care if you back out of it later. In fact, if history is any teacher, we expect you to."

lucky, only those who have embraced peaceful means of addressing their grievances should be rewarded, no more blaming israel for all of their problems when they are obviously responsible for many of their own issues, with final borders, an end to the idiocy and so-called "right" of return, recognition and security of and for the jewish state of israel, and with dismantlement of settlements should come a corresponding dismantlement of militias

More Proof of the US Selling Out Israel If you did not believe it before Believe it now. http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com/

exams with so much intake just at the last weeks before Annapolis. Indeed, welcomed developments which will give clearer definition to bringing about a peace settlement. Adding to the momentum of this peace process would be the inclusion and support of neighbouring Middle Eastern nations.

Lets see if Shas now quits the coalition. Or if Rav Ovadya orders Eli Yishay to stay in for the bribe money.
