6. The OSLO COVENANT with DEATH
Conceived in great secrecy, Oslo betrayed Israel. Israelis who took part broke Israeli law forbidding meetings with terrorists. Because Oslo-Road Map, and all the agreements are made with terrorists fighting for conquest of all Israel, the agreements produce massive increases in terrorism and murder of Jews. Arab MKs, members of Israel's government, including large numbers of Arab Muslim Israelis are openly genocidal, and support the violent overthrow of Israel. Lessons of the Rabin Assassination By David Bedein FrontPageMagazine.com | September 17, 2004 25,000 religious Israeli citizens gathered on Saturday night, September 11th in the public square of a major city in Israel chanting slogans that called for the death of Israel’s police minister and for the violent overthrow of the Israeli government. Their goal? To replace the government with one closer to their religious ideology. The most vociferous moments of incitement during that rally were telecast that evening on both major Israeli TV by newsreels on Israel’s Public Channel One and on Israel’s Commercial Channel Two. Yet there was no public outcry to indict the organizers of this event, and there was no response of senior Israel law enforcement officials in reaction to the rally. Calls placed to the Israeli police to ask if they would prosecute the organizers for incitement did not even receive the courtesy of a returned phone call. The rally on September 11th had been organized by the Israeli Islamic Movement and took place in the largest Israeli Arab city, Um El Facham..." http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=15117 The 9/11 jihad date against American innocents was chosen for the demonstration. The Road Map Islamic Terror State is the shocking international approval for over 26,000 terrorist attacks against Israel in the last five years, and thousands of Jews maimed and murdered. Arab Israelis and Arab countries will join in the final war against Israel's Jews. Arafat explained on Jordanian TV shortly after Oslo the PLO strategy adopted in 1974: "Since we cannot defeat Israel in war, we do this in stages. We take any and every territory we can of Palestine, and establish sovereignty there, and we use it as a springboard to take more. When the time comes, WE CAN GET THE ARAB NATIONS TO JOIN US FOR THE FINAL BLOW AGAINST ISRAEL." There was not a single human bomb murderer in Israel before Oslo. All those responsible for Oslo-Road Map are guilty of horrific betrayal of Israel and owe financial compensation to the thousands of Jews maimed and murdered; victims of agreements made with terrorists. Oslo-Road Map and all agreements must be declared Null and Void. Israel owes nothing to implacable enemies who seek Israel's total destruction and a second holocaust of Jews.

Was offering the WB as bantustans and without the Al-Aqsa Mosque, one of the holliest mosques in Islam, an opportunity for peace?

Abbas wants a return to the days when any resolution against Israel would be met with a resounding OK!

11. World conference ???
And the Arabs will make promises and "commitments" which will not be honored, and then accuse Zionists (in other words, Jews) of failing to honor theirs. On and on and on .......
Leon ,   Grand Rapids U S A   (04.26.06)
12. world conference
an appeal to the israelis: please wake up! don't miss the negociations' chance or peace chance with abu mazen .The israelis gave the opportunity & facilities to Hamas to try to destroy the PLO and now the PNA, but without success!!!!!! Why the international community is trusting Abbas and not the israelis?Is it easier to keep extremists on both sides leading only to massacres???????Or are you living on another planet?

14. 12hana , lille: The PA missed each chance for peace
since over 50 years - they turned down any and all - each time again The Arabs never missed a chance to miss another chance. One example here: Barak, a sincere and courageous leader, offered Arafat a reasonable peace agreement that included Israeli withdrawal from 85-91% of the West Bank and 100% of the Gaza Strip; the uprooting of most of the settlements; Palestinian sovereignty over the Arab neighbourhoods of East Jerusalem; and the establishment of a Palestinian state......... As to the Temple Mount (Haram ash-Sharif) in Jerusalem's Old City, Barak proposed Israeli-Palestinian condominium or UN security council control or "divine sovereignty" with actual Arab control. Regarding the Palestinian refugees, Barak offered a token return to Israel and massive financial compensation to facilitate their rehabilitation in the Arab states and the Palestinian state-to-be. Arafat rejected the offer: He started a response - which was the Intifada in return. It is worth mentioning that "Jerusalem" or its Arab variants do not even appear once in the Koran. The Palestinian leadership, and with them most Palestinians, deny Israel's right to exist ....... So the appeal to the Arabs: Wake up - Terrorism isn't going to bring you to wipe out Israel - and take over the State And you Hana <<< Wake up fast to facts - you have to stop playing propaganda with fake information

17. #14 Israel missed each chance for peace
As far as I know, Arafat at Camp David offered peace in return for the territories occupied by Israel in 1967, with the possibility of land swaps - and Israel rejected this offer! And in 2002 the whole Arab League offered the same (Beirut plan) - this would be the end of conflict not only between Israel and Palestinians but also between Israel and the Arab world. Israel again didn't miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity and rejected the offer! And Israel kept missing opportunities by repeatedly electing Sharon and beaming Hamas up to the heights of unprecedented popularity.

18. You are all a bit confused!
Firstly Hamas was democratically elected, if it has to change its election manifesto and what it promised to deliver then it should hold a referendum. Abbas Fatah party is not the ruling party, so you can’t negotiate with the PLO alone. The PLO through Arafat and now through Abbas have not honored any agreements to date, for an agreement to be binding parties to such an agreement must comply with the said terms and conditions, if not the agreement becomes null and void. Lastly the people of the areas in Gaza and the West Bank don’t need a dictatorial or a party who wishes ethnic cleansing, but a government who can deliver on social and economic needs. How many Palestinian parliamentarians go hungry? very few, I give food and clothing to a very nice Arab lady who rummages through the rubbish bins in our neighborhood. I asked her one day, don’t you get any social benefits, she said as she lives in a town under PLO rule there are no benefits, two of her sons died after being recruited by the PLFP and a third is missing. Her family all voted for Hamas as they believed that they would advance the social needs of her people. To date I have given her family over 5000 shekels to buy food and medicines, she still comes every week to look through the trash bins as she needs to feed a family of 9. The money I have given her has fed and helped over 50 people in her village. A few months ago she arrived at my door step with her husband who has been unemployed for 8 years with a basket of fruit from their village, her husband wanted to thank me and honor me; I was so humbled by this. I am a religious Jew; I did not vote for the current or previous Israeli governments, I dispute the claims of title of land by the Palestinians. But still they wanted to give back something. I served in the IDF in an elite unit, I am a senior officer in a milluim unit and I have spoken to thousands of Palestinians, these poor people live in fear, poverty and false hope isn’t it time that they get the dignity that all man kind deserves. So Hamas change your charter, deliver what any democratically elected government should and you will see a much more appeasing Israel.

19. Abbas was NOT elected...
so what does it matter what he says...? Does anyone care what John Kerry says?
mike ,   TA   (04.26.06)
20. logic...?
how can there ever be peace if one of the "partners"keep on telling the other one,in words and in action,that you have no right to exist.? if there should be negotiations now,then everything that has been done so far is a waste of time. every time the PA is in trouble,they say they want to negotiate NOW. i think Olmert is the one with the IMPORTENT message.

21. 17 another view: You totally fail: Arafat NEVER
accepted anything - he never stood to signed agreements even - as Oslo which he signed Because each agreement called first of ALL to dismantelment of all terror factions Just as still today - They do not dismantle any groups They first of all refused the Partition plan - ALL Arab States did. since over 50 years - they turned down any and all - each time again The Arabs never missed a chance to miss another chance. One example here: Barak, a sincere and courageous leader, offered Arafat a reasonable peace agreement that included Israeli withdrawal from 85-91% of the West Bank and 100% of the Gaza Strip; the uprooting of most of the settlements; Palestinian sovereignty over the Arab neighbourhoods of East Jerusalem; and the establishment of a Palestinian state.........

The Palestinian leadership, and with them most Palestinians, deny Israel's right to exist ....... So the appeal to the Arabs: Wake up - Terrorism isn't going to bring you to wipe out Israel - and take over the State The Arabs only accept Israel's destruction.

23. Fake and Fantasy
From the word go Arafat was the greatest imposter the world has ever known. He succeeded in coning the whole world including his " own people " ( for those who do not understand the parenthesis, I shall explain ). They were not his people. He connived and lied and fantisized for over 40 years, he stole from everyone money and more important he stole their minds. He invented modern terrorism and made a business out of it, a successful one at that. All Arab leaders hated him because they knew exactly from which stone he was hewn. His biggest "triumph" without doubt was getting himself invited to the UN General Assembly and appearing in military garb with a holstered pistol, in the world's "great hall of peace ". The man was a master at his trade, without superiors, in this respect I take my hat off to him, but his legacy speaks volumes, in one word, suffering.

24. To Gabrielle - Israel never miss an opportunity to give one
Transforming the WB into cantons, annexing Jerusalem, giving the Pals less than 22% of their historic homeland, and forgetting the rights of the refugees is not a peace offer. No one would accept such a "peace offer" even u and ur country.

well...lets see.... first...What you make of what you are given,is your business.(we got worse than bantustan,on a smaller territory in 48,plus a major war the next day,,,and see where we are),,,where are you?...still in mud huts i am afraid. second...can you tell me why,,,when praying in al aksa you still face mecca?....we aleays face to the direction of Har Habait (our Temple mount),weather we are in Israel.russia or bantustan.... face it mo.....the palestinians have a lot of growing up to do,which is hard to do while strapping bombs and looking for virgins. Third......Our temple predates your Al Aksa by about 1000 years.the deeper you dig there(and i know you did)...the more jewish it looks) Quit complaining and start building something,,,anything,,,for your own sake.....

28. PLO Leader Says: "The
PLO LEADER SAYS: "The PALESTINIAN PEOPLE DOES NOT EXIST" Re-take Jewish Gaza! It's been transformed into terrorist training camps and a GLOBAL base for TERROR! Global jihad is greatly empowered as the U.S. EU and UN support a GLOBAL Islamic TERROR state in Israel that will threaten the world. There NEVER was an Arab country of Palestine. Jerusalem was NEVER the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Jerusalem is mentioned over 800 times in the Bible, not once in the Koran. Arabs FIRST took the name “Palestinians” in 1967. Arafat was the FIRST leader of this NEW PEOPLE. Before 1948, Jews were known as the Palestinians! The Jewish newspaper, the Jerusalem Post was called the Palestine Post. http://palestinepostings.blogspot.com/2005/06/historical-palestinians-very-simple.html Human Rights Destroyers want Jews barred from living in Judea and Samaria, the Biblical heartland which includes Hebron, the first Jewish city, and second in Jewish holiness, because JEWS are NOT MUSLIM! Respect is always given to Muslims! No one is trying to force Muslims out of Mecca and Medina! After the Jews miraculously transformed desert and swamps into rich, agricultural land (for which Jews are world famous!) Arabs came in large numbers from Arab countries for jobs from the Jews. The fact that the overwhelming majority of Arabs resided only briefly in Palestine is attested to by the special UN decree: that any Arab who had resided in Palestine FOR ONLY TWO YEARS BEFORE 1948, and then left, would be considered a refugee and so would his descendants!!! On March 31, 1977, Dutch newspaper Trouw published an interview with PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein: “The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct “Palestinian people” to oppose Zionism. For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.

What 22%of historic homeland? What are you talking about. When Britain gave Transjordan to the Arabs they gave 75% of the Jewish homeland to the Arab peoples. Actually only about 22% remained. To further reduce this and give to Arabs reduces the Jewish homeland even further and yet Israel was willing to do this for peace. You are talking foolishness --stupidity certainly not history. Most of the so called present Palestinians are not native sons anyway. Their roots are Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and other countries of the Middle East. Let them go home.
