    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.

      But, But, But, isn't this 'appeasement' lol

      Nice to see Israel isn't dumb enough to listen to bush's empty rhetoric. Only way anything is ever going to get solved in the Middle-East is through negotiations and diplomacy.

      Talk is good. A good first step would be for Israel to not bomb Syria. I hope that the two countries are able to reach a long term accord.

      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.

        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.

          Note what the first line says, "Israel and Syria Wednesday said they are holding indirect peace talks". Indirect peace talks so they really aren't talking with one another.
