Is Ahmadinejad now mediator between the two sides?

why the time israel goes to gaza and kills 1500 kids ,woman, no one talks about hitler !!!!

This is the guy who said Israel needs to be wiped off the face of the Earth and he has called for a second Holocaust, and denies the first one. (doesn't make sense to me either) There is only one solution in his mind. The destruction of Israel is all Ahmadinejad wants. He'll say what the western media wants to hear and the media will be like lap dogs saying: "Look! Look! Iran wants peace!" He wants destruction. Nothing less than that will satisfy him or people like him.

We need peace, and the only way is a two state resolution, but Israel "govertment" don't want that, the jewish people is not the one to blame but its goverment is do acting in a racist way treating the palestinians as alliens is their own land...

And I feel bad sayin' that but Ahmandinejad has nothing to do with the problem, the problem is an unflexible israeli goverment

I still wonder why a people reporesenting only 2% of the US population get to decide over 50% of our foreign policy. Fight your own wars!

Scrap the Pennies. Increase the value of the coinage you already use.

It is America that has been fueling extremism and weapons and war against the Palestinians. Anyone that stands up for the rights and freedom of the Palestinian people to their own land is speaking the truth. America allowed the savage terrorism and even provided the F16's to commit genocide on the Palestinian people in Dec of 2008. It is time for honesty not religion.

Well, this is better than his usual rhetoric. A two-state solution automatically means that he has to recognize Israel. I think we are making progress, little by little.
And it's all moot since Ahmadinejad will be thrown out of office at the next election anyway. He's not popular even in his own country.

The two-state solution was first adopted unanimously by the UN Security Council as resolution 242 (1967), and later reiterated as resolution 338 (1972). To date, both Israel and its neighbors are in violation of this resolution, a resolution that the US somehow never enforced, nor asked its UN allies to enforce.

You do not win points for saying it. Only doing it.

There is already a two state solution. It's called "Jordan."

Why does it take politicians so long to accept the obvious? Not talking about Iran so much as I am Isreal and the US.

You can't have peace if many millions of people (Palestinians) have been displaced from their land and then treated like 2nd class citizens for 61 years. This is not rocket science ...

At some point, Isreal must be forced to fully stand on it's own two feet without any financial or military support from the US. I'm tired of defending them. They spy on us.

When we formed the United States, who was helping us fight Great Britain 61 years later? .... 1812 minus 1776 is 36 years.

Guess whose up for re-election, that's right...Iranian President Mahmoud Ineedanotherjob, aka Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
I suppose American politicians don't aren't the only ones who will say anything to get elected. What happened to the plans laying out the annihilation of the Zionist hoard he was selling last week.

palestine has right to own state,i meen we took away the land from them to form israel so they should atleast get there own state

It makes no difference what Ahmadinejad says, as long as the U.S. supports Israel and we will, there will be no two state solution.

I think most of you don't know why USA has to be involved in this, until you understand, it will be another 100 years.

Now the big challenge: Get Israel to accept a Two State solution.

Good luck to us all!

Should Israel interest be ahead of US? It should not be to US government and a majority of its citizens. Israel must make a deal soon. If not, we should stop supporting them and see where would they be without us!!!!

Thank you truth teller,you are more knowlage for this block ,every body
believe the media,I wish every body get more information out side american media never will tell the truth, becouse you know who
belong the media and american power.I hope one day american people say poor people need to have justice.Pleastian will be free one day.

Geez, Callahan... don't let superstitions have too much influence in your thinking... might want to let more than one book do your thinking (or try it for yourself...)

That being said, I like this quote on the surface. It's an excellent stance that removes Iran from directly trying to involve itself and merely lend support. I also like that there is a direct reference to other countries showing the same level of "let them decide and we'll support that."

That being said, in application it falls short. There are two parties and both will need to be acknowledged by everyone in the area for eventual peace. Additionally there is the unspoken threat that if Palestine does not get what it wants Iran will support them in their response, which will likely continue to be violent... and probably offended when Israel responds with violence in turn.

A for effort, A for sly rhetoric, D for application and feasibility.

Know the history of that area and it people as the Korean say same O same O regardless high long a river they always find a way to come back together and Mr,Ahmadineejad of Iran is saying it time for them to come back together once again.

The world is having a shift in consciousness, hateful retoric is a thing of the past and those who subscribe to the old way of thinking need to shift as well.

Israel is Jesus country.....Ask Him first, if it's ok to 'share' a portion of the Jews' God-given land with the Palestinians. Peace comes from the Prince of Peace...

It is interesting that President Ahmadinejad of Iran said his country would accept the existence of Israel if the Palestinians did but also that the Palestinians and other countries could vote Israel out of existence. So one position is contingent upon another. It is an open ended proposal that is in itself doomed to failure as we all know that the Palestinians are not going to agree to the existence of Israel as long as they tolerate Hamas and if they try to vote Israel out of existence that is not going to go over at all with the USA.

I agree with lynn,and its statement like the one from concerned expat that drives this people to antagonise the west and US,because you treat them as less human.Ahmednijad doesnt want to die,hence he will NEVER attack any country with a nuke.

A question, if we were in trouble would Iran or Isreal or for that fact any nation in the world come to our defense or lift a hand to help us ? We never learned from Englands history that colonization never works. We have become our not so distant past ! ****************************************************************

It is all but acknowedge that two state solution is the way to lasting peace in the region, with the difference being in the details. So, in aserting that he is ready to accept the proposal that has been broad framework for peace, the Iranian president is signalling that he is ready to work with the international community. Rather than castigating with him, I believe we should build on the positive signal coming from this guy. He needs someting to save his face, he has needed that for a long time. The Israelis and the Palestinians deserve their peace.

I am on this earth over 40 yrs and still hearing the same things. Get with it people!!

Interesting...one can't vote Israel out of existence..it's eternal and a promise that is kept by God...his heart string is tied to the bosom of Israel...and his son's spirit pours out upon Jeruseleam...this is not just property but a Spiritual Home belonging to God for his people, his children (we are ALL his children). God gave us the ability to make peace with one another...there is a solution..but look to God for the answer for man can't hold the answer (Ps. 118:8)

We need to keep our noses and our dollars out of ALL THE MESS.

Why do we continue to give this lunatic a stage? It just fuels him even more to make inflammatory remarks.

Amadinejad is getting louder because he's on his way out.

There's a presidential election in Iran on June 12, and he will probably lose. His people are fed up with him. He is saying inflammatory and nationalistic rhetoric on the world stage to fire up his base in Iran – the p!$$ed off religious nuts.

Why do you think that Obama has been talking to IRAN and not to Amadinejad? If Khatami wins the election, it will be a LOT smoother sailing with us and Iran.

Concerned Expat: Did you actually read the article or did you just take a knee jerk reaction to the man's name.

There will be no peace in the Middle East or reduced threats to America until there is a peace deal with Israel and Palestine.

Why do we continue to give this lunatic a stage? It just fuels him even more to make inflammatory remarks.

I'm not Jewish, but you don't have to be to take what this nut job says very personally. He is the modern day Hitler.

they are fighting over land sooooo small, less than New Jersey

finish up, make a deal and quit shooting at each other

I feel very sorry for the people of Iran. when a few people in leadership can take a country backward into a state of deniel and threating the United States and the rest of the free world. the people them selves need to send a clear message to the leadership to stop what they are doing and move in better more peaceful way.

Palestine deserves it's own state. It would be wrong for israel to deny them that.
