(02.12.06)
just laughing , is this not what i wrote here yesterday to Mrs. Rice .... learn people from the history .
2. Yes, yes...
Michael Steiner ,   EU   (02.12.06)
Just as I predicted days ago: the rehabilitation of Khamas is slowly coming to life. By the end of the year (probably even the end of our year) the government will have sat down with Khamas. And it's totally irrelevant who'll be in the government; Booby'd do it just as soon as Peretz.
3. short memory
Michael ,   Haifa   (02.12.06)
in the 1970's and 1980's WE talked to Hamas...we set them up in Gaza as opponents of the PLO and Fatah...a brilliant policy of divide and rule
4. Mid Year Election
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS USA   (02.12.06)
This is a mid-term election year in the US. And the US voter is anxious to see decisive victories against IslamoFascist terrorism. Anything short of that will see a new regime in Congress.
5. America Is Betraying Israel
Jerry ,   NYC, USA   (02.12.06)
Bush/Rice brought Hamas to power. Which will build a terror state right next door to you, in the Land which you are giving up for Nothing. BushRice want Olmert in power. Don't do it, reject Olmert and say "No" to the detruction of Israel. The U.S. Congress is far more pro-Israel than this current U.S. administration which is hypocritical and appeasing.
6. U.S. may cooperate with Hamas
Tal ,   Israel   (02.12.06)
I predicted this when in the midst of the intifada while Jews were being slaughtered right and left Bush gives 'birth for Palestinian statehood, ' the 'road map to Palestinian terror legitimization ' and the 'quartet of absolute liars soon followed. If ever the handwriting was on the wall it was then. Read #8! PLEASE. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3214842,00.html Wake up there are wolves in sheep's clothing amongst us. For those willing to jump partisan lines put your stones down and open your eyes!! The sheep you supported has disrobed.
7. To Recognize Hamas Authority IS to not recognize Israel
Steve ,   USA   (02.12.06)
B"H Hamas recognizes only itself as the sovereign over ALL of Israel. If the United States recognizes Hamas claims, it does not recognize Israel.
8. REALITY CHECK
Arik Siolverman ,   Milwaukee USA   (02.12.06)
The US is in a real bind on this. I don't know the technical details, but it's being said that there may be a Congressional ban on any US money to a PA led by Hamas because Hamas is on the official list of terrorist organizations. But we have seen enough of Washington CowPookie to know that the devil is in the details, and that most of what our politicians in America tell us is inaccurate propaganda. The bottom line, however, is that Washington can't turn its back on the new PA without losing face and credibility, and losing influence in the area. Israel will be better off is Washington accommodates to Hamas than if it drives the Palestinians and other of Israel's neighbors further away. Who knows, Jordan could be next: if Hamas gets Iran/Saudi funding, maybe they'll return to funding Jordan, cut off in the first Iraq war. And Egypt could go too. US contact with Hamas is probably in Israel's best interest.
9. Obvious
Arie   (02.12.06)
This is just more proof that when push comes to shove, we can only depend on ourselves. The US was traumatized y the massacre of over 3000 Americans on 9/11, but the Bush administraion knuckling as always to Saudi pressure will find a way to circumvent that. And the possibility of another Clinton in the Whie House only serves to hammer the point home-as we remember Hillary's warm embrace of Mrs Arafat when she accused Israel of genocidal attacks against MoHAMedan children.
10. Re #2: National Union would not
Steve ,   USA   (02.12.06)
B"H I do not think that the National Union would just sit down with Hamas without Hamas recognition of their sovereignty on Israel. They may have to rebuild the Third Temple to declare a Jewish sovereignty that Hamas would recognize, but they would not just surrender to Hamas as far as I know or run away for a conversation. Elect Deborah to lead again! Elect National Union! Or stand behind the Kadima folks in the Hamas ocean, or fly to Europe to visit Michael's "safe" Jewish settlement there. The choices are plain. Arik was true to his name. He unsheathed the cloak of innocence from the PA and Hamas coalition.
11. THE WAR AGAINST THE JEWS THEY CALL THE 'PEACE PROCESS'
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (02.12.06)
The propaganda war waged by the world's media against Israel is a powerful weapon in the war against the Jews. By international agreement Israel is the only nation on earth to have PLO terrorists implanted into its Land. Heavily armed and trained. Financed by the nations, the PLO's sole purpose as enshrined in its charter, is the destruction of Israel. They call this method of killing Jews, the 'peace process'. Hitler called it the final solution. The raison d'etre of the genocidal PA society is the mass murder of Jewish innocents. Palestinian Authority society are taught murdering Jews is the highest goal in life and attains paradise: http://www.pmw.org.il/AFD.html
12. Self betrayal hurts so much more
Yoel Ariel ,   Ft.lauderdale(US)   (02.12.06)
Ahh. Look a tiny bit closer. Bush/Rice brought hamas to power? Bartender, a gill of what ever Jerry is having, please. The Sharon/Kadima philosophy that dispossed and afflicted Jews from Gush Katif and thereby led israel in a rout from Gaza; caused a power vacum into which Hamas poured like urine from an old boot. With Sharon (I feel like spiting three times as my Savta did when the Tsar was mentioned) and his synchophants the die was cast for running before there was anything to run from. The government of the US wants stability, and would support a one legged lesbian dwarf with Parkinson's and multiple forms of VD for PM, IF only there is stability. Corrupt Olmert and his felons of Kadima will allow the stability of Hamas. Nothing can stop that, I believe. Too bad. But Israel's troubles are self inflicted, not caused by the USA.
13. #8 doublespeak said like a true Repulican
Ruthie ,   Jerusalem   (02.12.06)
This is 2006. Jews have been slaughtered. Nothing here has to do with creditibilty it has to do with TRUTH. Heard all the excuses made in Shoah too. Yours is quite over the top. Keep making excuses for your guy. Read Tal. Like he said, next they will come after you!
14. #9
Benjamin ,   Ramat Aviv Israel   (02.12.06)
Hillary snuggled up to the whore of Arafat as if the person in office right now is not snuggling up to the entire Muslim/Arab world, knifing Israel at every step. And I would like to remind you it is POST 9-11. Just to save you or anyone else from barking Bush shunned Arafat, I have news for you. During that time Arafat was 'supposedly' shunned, cooperation between the White House and the PA never stopped not for one moment. Get this straight. Every single decision made during that time STOPPED AT THE DESK OF ARAFAT. Not one decision was made without the divine consent of Arafat. PERIOD. So you hug in the open or you do it with smoke and mirrors, big deal. Bottom line is THIS IS THE HERE AND NOW. Today! For anyone who has the nerve to say the next guy would be worse, save it for your friends while your having an excuse party to cover for one of the worst friends of Israel, Israel has ever had. BTW: Just in the event someone were to suggest Bush is the best friend of Israel, cite hard and fast facts not bravado or emotion or calling names on other idiot past or future presidents. Thank you.
15. Every Israeli who trusts US is a fool
Marcel ,   Florida   (02.12.06)
How far the peace process has fallen down into the pit and yet Israel continues to chase after it. The rational of the insane ones is if Israel was stupids enough to dance with Arafat then they can be coaxed to dance with any devil ,and they do . They sell their souls anf give away their land gratis for nothing but lies in return .Truly a stupid people who can be led about by the ring in their nose.
16. MARCEL IT SEEMS
DACON9 ,   PROPHETS   (02.12.06)
IT SEEMS THAT THE WORLD WANTS TO WIPE OUT ALL SYMBOLS AND REMNENTS OF JUDAISM, IN THE HEARTS AND SOULS. THEY EITHER WANT TO XTIANIZE THE JEWS OR ISLAMITIZE THE JEWS OR WIPE THEM OUT PEROID ! IF THE WORLD SAT BACK... ISRAEL CAN SATISFY EVERYONE ON THEIR OWN. SHARON, OLMERT, THE REFORM ,THE CONSERVATIVE, THE INTELLECTUALS ,LIBERALS, HOMOSEXUALS, GANSTERS, FAKE CONVERTED... REL-A-A-A-X ISRAEL PEOPLE WILL DESTROY THEMSELFS ON THEIR OWN, YOU WILL ALL BE HAPPY. FOR A SHORT TIME ONLY,,, 'GD' TAKES OVER AT THAT POINT. YOU WILL ALL REGRET WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ISRAEL AND ITS PEOPLE. YES THEY WANTED IT, BUT *YOU DELIVERED IT. YOU DELIVERED IT ON 'GDS SOIL.'
17. #8 arik / dacon
Marcel ,   Florida   (02.12.06)
Lose face ? The U.S. has lost it's soul and become the evil empire . It has long ago betrayed israel and this is just more evidence to that betrayal. You logic is sick and twisted as America has become. Hypocrite ,Double speak ,twisted ,Liar Devious two faced devils who would sell their own mother out. DACON,I agree with your assesment Israel because of their lack of faith in Hashem is in meltdown because it trusts in lies.
18. THE HAMAS CHARTER: HAMAS SEEKS TO KILL ALL JEWS
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (02.12.06)
From the Hamas Charter: Israel, by virtue of its being Jewish and of having a Jewish population, defies Islam and the Muslims. Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it. The Day of Judgment will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslims, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. The Zionist invasion is a vicious invasion. It does not refrain from resorting to all methods, using all evil and contemptible ways to achieve its end. It relies greatly in its infiltration and espionage operations on the secret organizations it gave rise to, such as the Freemasons, The Rotary and Lions clubs, and other sabotage groups. All these organizations, whether secret or open, work in the interest of Zionism and according to its instructions. They aim at undermining societies, destroying values, corrupting consciences, deteriorating character and annihilating Islam. It is behind the drug trade and alcoholism in all its kinds so as to facilitate its control and expansion.

21. HAMAS GOAL: CONQUEST OF ISRAEL & EUROPE
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (02.13.06)
Hamas, dedicated to Israel's destruction, will say anything to ensure they get U.S. and European TAX dollars! Terrorist Hamas knows that words, not actions, was all that America and Europe required of the PLO/Palestinian Authority, who broke ALL agreements! For many years, American and European tax dollars financed the war against the Jews. The military wing of Palestinian Authority Abbas's Fatah party is the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, responsible for massive terrorist atrocities against Jewish innocents. U.S. EU, UN and Russia demand Israel give half of her tiny land to Islamofascists. Jewish Gaza has been transformed into Hamastan - terrorist training camps and a GLOBAL BASE FOR TERROR! The U.S. EU, UN, and Russia with their RELIGIOUS agenda of the forcible removal of Jews from the Biblical heartland are eager to duplicate in Judea and Samaria what Islamic terrorists were empowered to achieve in Gaza. The Hamas goal is conquest of Israel and Europe! ARE WORLD LEADERS SECRET CONVERTS TO ISLAM? HAMAS Targets Spain By Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld FrontPageMagazine.com | January 2, 2006 It is not only Palestine that children in the West Bank and Gaza are asked to liberate; now they are asked to liberate Seville. The HAMAS children’s magazine, Al-Fateh, in a recent issue, (No. 66), tells the children about the city called Asbilia (Seville) and calls on them to free it, together with the whole country, from the infidels and to reinstate Muslim rule... Qaradawi, calls on Muslims to conquer Europe, saying: “Islam will return to Europe as a conqueror and a victor... Apparently encouraged by successful Jihad against Israel, HAMAS is now raising the ante, going international. Just as they have indoctrinated a generation of Palestinian children to commit suicide attacks against Israelis, they are now expanding their targets to include the rest of the Caliphate – beginning with Spain. It is only a matter of time, before today’s Palestinian children, and others exposed to HAMAS’ publications start offering themselves up for the next stage of Jihad in Spain. http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=20726
22. U.S. DENIED DEMOCRACY FOR CHRISTIANS IN IRAQ
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (02.13.06)
www.worldnetdaily.com Tuesday, June 15, 2004 ------------------------------------------------------------------ U.S. promotes Islam in Iraq By Joseph Farah ------------------------------------------------------------------ President Bush says he wants to free Iraq, to liberate it from the oppression of totalitarianism, to create a new model for liberty in the Middle East. But Christians are fleeing while they can because the new constitution makes Iraq an officially Islamic republic. When the significant Christian community in Iraq failed to get even one seat on the executive council of the provisional government, the exodus began. Christians also took as a cue the fact that they got only one ministry post in the new government – the Ministry of Emigration. Was that a hint? Apparently Christians in Iraq think so. The churches are filled with Iraqis filling out baptismal forms required for the leaving the country. One deacon told Insight: On a recent night, the church had to spend more time on filling out baptismal forms needed for leaving the country than they did on the service. We have been flooded with parishioners desperate to leave the country, and as they cannot get an exit permit without a baptismal certificate from the church, we have been swamped with requests. ... In recent days, nearly 400 families, as far as we can tell, have filled out baptismal forms to leave the country. Our community is being decimated. According to figures from the Saddam Hussein regime, there are about 2.5 million Assyrian Christians in Iraq, representing about 10 percent of the total population of the country. There would be many more had the Assyrians not been systematically slaughtered in the last days of the Ottoman Empire. It is estimated that two-thirds of the population was wiped out in the early part of the 20th century. The Assyrians are not eager to see that kind of persecution again under Islamic rule. "We thought the Americans were going to bring us freedom and democracy," one Christian told Insight. "Instead, they are promoting Islam. We do not understand it. ... We love the Americans! We are so grateful for them removing Saddam and giving us back our freedom. We do not want their effort to be a failure if the dictatorship of Saddam is replaced by the dictatorship of Islam." He continued: "The American-funded TV station, Al Iraqia, broadcasts Muslim programs four times every day and for two hours each Friday, but nothing from the other religions. The recent inauguration of the new government was opened by a Muslim mullah reciting a long passage and a prayer from the Quran, but none of our priests were invited. Why do they do this? Why do the Americans promote Muslims? They need to promote equality and democracy and freedom, not Muslim dictatorship." Already Iraqi Christians are seeing the first signs of harassment and intimidation by the Muslim majority. "Our women are accosted on the street and intimidated to start dressing according to Islamic tradition, our businesses are being burned, and the constant harassment is because of the attitude of appeasement toward Muslims," said one priest. Sharia law is the law of the land in the new Iraq. That means only Muslims are first-class citizens. We created a similar situation in Afghanistan, where the new constitution has been criticized by human-rights groups as a kind of "Taliban-lite." Is it too much for the United States to demand that this Christian minority – and all other ethnic and religious minorities in Iraq – be protected and afforded full citizenship rights under the new government and constitution? If so, was the sacrifice of American lives really worth it? http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=38959
23. They will be hell to pay if this happens.
Daisy ,   USA   (02.13.06)
Most Americans are against our government cooperating with terrorists and if it does there is going to be a lot of serious consequences!
24. JEWS DON'T LEARN
R. Mogelson ,   USA   (02.13.06)
Throughout the entire history of the Jewish people, we have been rounded up, harrassed, expelled, tortured and systematically killed. It does not take genius to see what is coming. What does confuse me is the surprise of duplicity when our supposed "friends" sell us out. My friends, I will clue you in. The United States won't be coming to Israel's defense. In the case of Hamastan, the US will force Israel to help the dirty Islamofacists with arms and funds. Suprisingly enough, the bulk of Israelis will agree. In Iran, they will acquire a nuke while Uncle Sam placates the murderous regimes of the UN. Aint no Calvalry on the way. Israel itself is pathetic. I am not proud of my people's lack of will to continue the fight for survival. Instead, they leave their defense to others. The world will let Israel down...but worse, having nuclear armaments and a magnificent army, she won't lift a finger to defend herself. Jews Of Israel....They are coming for you. They will vaporize and murder you like sheep. What ever happen to NEVER AGAIN????
25. We'll use them in our St Patrick's parade!

Green is in. Especially on Patties Day.
26. Great, thanks America
Ari ,   L.A., California   (02.13.06)
Now the US will impose a peace agreement on us. It's coming sooner or later. America is starting to back away from Israel, and it started with them investigating AIPAC and seeing how they were Israel's unofficial spies on the US. We're screwed, thanks AIPAC.
27. Do not believe this "report"
