The respecitive leaders will discuss the most sensitive matters: the issue of borders, Palestinians refugees … and the status of Jerusalem.  People on both sides of this issue are expressing their hopes and fears all over the web including YouTube, Facebook, and many different Blogs.

While the Peace conference organizers and the participants seem to be very determined to solve the situation, people around the world demonstrate their anxiety towards their political representatives’ moves. YouTube shows videos in which Jews in Israel explain their concerns facing others citizens who support Olmert in this step for peace. In another video, they claim they would protest against him if it fails. Also, YouTube shows videos in which Palestinians protest against the Annapolis conference and leave little room for compromise. Indeed, most of compromises are expected from the Israeli side. YouTube also puts forward the pro-Israeli discontent around the world. A video illustrates American Jewish citizens’ worries about the consequence of the summit.

The Facebook shows similar discontent from Jewish and Palestinians’ supporters towards the Annapolis conference from around the world. The Group “Supporting the Peace Summit in Annapolis”, created by Dotan Harpak (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) and Ron Alter (New York, NY), has 422 members. The group “Anti Annapolis Autumn Conference” has 351 members. Many others Facebook groups have been created including “Giving away Jerusalem? Over my dead body!”  Blogs are also a channel where people actively demonstrate their opinion on this very divisive issue.
