Report: Obama backs Egypt plan for Mideast peace

So Israel gave the Palestinians administration of an area of their own land in the occupied territory. What a magnanimous gesture!! Now you would like to see the Palestinians respond to that kind gesture by offering a compromise to give some of their land to Israel. What are you some kind of a nut?

Aren't you able to offer anything about the peace offer that may be put on the table? No one really cares about your views about extraneous matters. People are reading this blog to learn about the peace offer, not about your views on Afghanistan or Yemen.

Why don't you pull yourself together and comment on the peace proposal that may be put on the table rather than every irrelevant trivial thing about Obama you can think of? Don't you have one substantive thought?

Why is only ISRAEL asked to "make concessions" and get NOTHING in return? same old from the same old- why try things that have PROVEN to never work? This is not "peace", this is blackmail..Sorry my fellow Americans were so ignorant to vote for Obama-people here vote their pocketbooks so it seems he will not be in power long- so wait it out Israel.............

Thank you Dee for being a true American firster! What's that you say? You are not really an american from the USA? You just think israel's interests should come before AMERICA'S?

Delay, delay, delay. Build, build, build. Marginalze, marginalize, marginalize.

The anti-Obama stuff is non-sense. He is doing what is best for Israel even if you cannot see it. You cant have the West Bank, East Jerusalem or the Golan. Stop wasting money building and moving new people there. We want the world want peace with two states on 1967 borders. If you can persuade Abbas to make swaps fair enough but otherwise just get back to green line. Put the wall there nobody would object.

People know the score and should act accordinglly.... Enough of dancing around Israeli offcials and the settlers... People are out of patience today......Dutch

OBAMA. He's backing the wrong horse in Egypt.

Who is Obama that he can tell Israel, or any other country what they can or can not do? He can't even handle the problems in the USA. He is trying to supress the American people but they will not stand for it...why should Israel?

Abbas is dragging his feet. Egypt is willing to sponcer a summit that the U. S. and Israel will but Abbas will not? Looks like Abbas is going to have to either agree to talk or get out of the game. He's not going to look to good to either the U.S. or the E.U. if he just keeps saying no. Perhaps the ultimate question he's fooling with is how he deals with Hamas. Does he make life decent in the West Bank and have Hamas lose support as a result in Gaza, or does he anger the U.S., Egypt and the middle eastern countries secretely rooting for peace in hopes of kissing up to Hamas. He may come to a point where he has to choose, and it looks like Obama is pressuring him to make that choice. Israel doesn't give Obama enought credit.

...then attaboy Obama ... make Israel give and allow the Palestinians to take and that will bring peace to the Middle East... NOT!!! That formula has been tried before, many times, and it never worked .... In fact it just created MORE violence and more wars because what the Palestinian Arabs REALLY want, Israel will NOT give them. Israel will NOT deliver it's own head on a platter to the Palestinian Arabs even if Obama would demand it ...

so obama is changing the game no land for peace just land for peace talks.

Is this where Israel says, "Here's a dime. Call me when you are interested in having a serious talk about peace"?

The only Israeli gestures we have seen so far from the WB is the middle-finger salute: .!..

First things first ,deal with your legal obligations of nuclear Iran and its threats to wipe Israel off the map,with the Taliban that are killing Americans daily in Afganistan,with ithdrawing from Iraq,with hostile North Korea,with Yemen which supports terrorists that wish to blow American passenger planes up,with the unemployment and spluttering USA economy,and spare us your backing for the dictatorship of Egypts plans

At this time the buyout that lets say commission that several politicians were getting in Israel to do the plan were confiscated by being blocked. I dont' think again that we are seeing our way to the future. You falseley reported something to the President of the USA and by doing this you were not informed of the letter to the United Nations. There is a peaceful solution without everyone else involved. WE are definitly going Neutral in Israel land rights. There will be land transfers and I understand you worked on this but we observed and listened. Two parts are false and we do not replace royal family memebers with blond bimbos who look like barbies. Not going to happen. Actresses are not wanted. Think Switzerland. Rethink and realign. Nice effort though. Great try. Think of the people involved. Like your ambition though. Rankoo-Karoon

Make peace in middle east too and not only in asiatic terretory..!!

That Obama has sold out Israel is not news to me. What is new is that he agrees to have Israel agreeing to its disappearancen and not ordering it anymore....! I agree that Israel to do so the day after the USA is wiped from the world maps! Long live Israel.

Didn't Israel already give Palestinian control to the PA in Zone A for a promise of a cessation of hostilities in the past? What did it get in return? A soldier torn to pieces on video and an intifada. I'd like to see a REAL concession from the Palestinians some time -- like a willingness to compromise on territory (since their ultimate demand is for a Jew-free state).

The international community keeps saying again and again: they do not recognize your annexation of East Jersulem. For the whole world, except Israel, East Jerusalem is to be the capital of the Palestinian state. When you are ready for peace, demolish the israeli buildings built after 1967 in East Jerusalem, remove all Israeli civilian presence and leave only the israeli police until things are definitively calm. After that, long lasting peace can be achieved in a year.

which calls for Israel to endanger itself in return for nothing. Same as always, other than that now the U.S. President (no surprise with Obama) supports it.

The only people Obama seems to look to on advice on how to handle the so called peace process are the arabs, Israel is never consulted about how it feels things should be handled if the arabs want it then he likes it. He loves the saudis and all their ideas, he likes palestinians and their ideas, he liked Egypt and its ideas but Israel never seems to get a say in the matter. Obamas first phone call after inaguration wasn't to a US ally it was to Abbas He has visited Saudi Arabia twice where he also made history and became the first president to bow down to royallty. He went to Egypt where he gave a speech backing up the traditional arab propaganda speeches that Israel wouldn't be here if there had been no holocaust and if it hadn't happened there would be no palestinian problem He has not been to Israel, he has photographs taken designed to insult Israel like his feet on the desk, he looks to pick fights with Israel every chance he gets. Obama hates Israel even more than Iran.

A settlement freeze must include East Jerusalem. Obama is going back on his own policy in order to placate Israel. Obama should push for this. It's not as if the Israelis will adhere to their promise anyway, even if they agreed.

Obama backs everything anti-Israel.
