n statements issued minutes apart, the two governments said they "have declared their intent to conduct these talks in good faith and with an open mind," with a goal of reaching "a comprehensive peace." Both nations thanked Turkey for its help, and Turkey issued its own confirmation. Muslim Turkey has good ties with both Israel and Syria.

> Only way anything is ever going to get solved in the Middle-East is through negotiations and diplomacy.
The good news about it is the fact that Israel NEVER refused a peace negotiations offer.
The bad news, however, is the fact that negotiations and diplomacy may only work when BOTH sides are willing to negotiate.

The real significance of this story ( for me ) is, the talks were not started by the U.S; do not involve the U.S.
If the Middle East begins trying to solve its own problems, the U.S. could finaly focus on the many problems we have ignored while chasing goals in far-away lands.

If we can get the US out of mideast colonialism then there may be a chance for peace in the mideast. As for Israel, the starting point has to be the recognition that the zionist state has no legitimate legal claim to ANY land in Palestine. The way forward is to return to the original UN plan of a UN protectorate with equal rights for ALL christians, moslems and jews. The UN charter itself denies the right to gain land in wars and the 1948 Israeli ethnic cleansing campaign to set up a racist state is exactly the kind of action the modern world cannot accept.
Zionism: The Real Enemy of the Jews
...According to first and still existing draft of history, Israel was given its birth certificate and thus legitimacy by the UN Partition Resolution of 29 November 1947. This is nonsense.

In the first place the UN without the consent of the majority of the people of Palestine did not have the right to decide to partition Palestine or assign any part of its territory to a minority of alien immigrants in order for them to establish a state of their own.
Despite that, by the narrowest of margins, and only after a rigged vote, the UN General Assembly did pass a resolution to partition Palestine and create two states, one Arab, one Jewish, with Jerusalem not part of either. But the General Assembly resolution was only a proposal â;; meaning that it could have no effect, would not become policy, unless approved by the Security Council.
The truth is that the General Assembly's partition proposal never went to the Security Council for consideration. Why not? Because the US knew that, if approved, it could only be implemented by force; and President Truman was not prepared to use force to partition Palestine.

Where's Jimmy Carter when you need him?? When a husband and wife have trouble it is recommended that they sit down and iron out their differences. When someone tries to help iron out the differences between two countries, everyone gets in an uproar. I just don't understand it.
