1. Only Israel caught in US vise
Marcel ,   Florida   (06.24.06)
It's always Israel which is pressured and it's always Israel which capitulates under this pressure. The Plaestinians know they don't have to do anything and that when they play the part of crying victim, that they always defeat Israel. Can Israel turn this game around and win and defeat their un-peace partner ? Can israel ever ,just once demand that the U.S. put REAL pressure on the Palestinian Terrorist Authority ?
2. Got to hand it to Abbas...........
Tali ,   Israel   (06.24.06)
HE KNEW WHO TO RUN TO!! Tried and true.
3. Abbas should take orders from Rice
Brod ,   USA   (06.24.06)
Abbas should take orders from Rice to stamp out Arab Islamist-Jihadist terrorists among his constituents, and not try to give orders to Rice. Rice should tell Abbas to thank Israel for doing the security work for him in stamping out the criminals in Hamastan. It is time Abbas learns to manage his own people before telling others what to do.
4. Salman Rushdi: ... Why are they not screaming?
Gerd ,   Germany   (06.24.06)
Stop terror against ISRAEL first, Mr. Abbas. By the way: "As their ancient, deeply civilized culture of love, art and philosophical reflection is hijacked by paranoiacs, racists, liars, male supremacists, tyrants, fanatics and violence junkies, why are they not screaming?" Salman Rushdie
5. Abbas Calls ISRAELI RESTRAINT, "ESCALATION"
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (06.24.06)
Arabs don't want Jews defending themselves. In the Arab war to exterminate Jews, Arabs and all Jew-haters want Jews to accept being killed without fighting back and WINNING the war. Muslim human bomb killers of Jewish innocents are revered and considered heroes by PA society. PA Muslims celebrate in the streets by the thousands when Jews, including CHILDREN, are murdered. It is inhuman. These are the people the U.S. EU, UN and Russia want to give an Islamic terror state on Jewish Holy Land. Let the U.S. EU, UK and Russia, first give half of their countries to the IslamoFascist religious supremacists.
6. ISLAMISTS Call the BARBARIC MURDER of JEWS, "RESISTANCE"
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (06.24.06)
G-D calls it murder! ALL Jewish civilians, including children, are regarded as legitimate targets for murder. The Palestinian Authority hailed as heroes the terrorists who brutally murdered defenseless 8 months pregnant Jewish Gaza mother, Tali Hatuel, and four little daughters in Gush Katif in May 2004. The extremely murderous Palestinian Authority are referred to as Israel's "peace" partners by the U.S. EU, UK and UN - Western civilization and values are regarded with contempt. We are witnessing the death of Western civilization.
7. US To pressure Israel?
Arie   (06.24.06)
US is using the same tactics to take out the terror leadership in raq and Afghanistan. Remember Zarqawi? If Israel did that the whole world would have condemned us for taking "extra-judicial" action. Abbashas forgotten that he and his minions started a war. Now they must suffer the consequences!
8. the buthcher of munich makes admission
Arie   (06.24.06)
By pushing for an ageement that would allow "armed struggle with the 67 borders" abbas, better known as the butcher of munich, has admitted that he has no vision of peace with us but rather a goal of exterminating us. He must go the way of ALL terrorists.
9. Abbas the butcher from Munich is crying again
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (06.24.06)
10. Press the rocket launchers why don't ya?
Jezreel ,   Israel   (06.24.06)
11. The Pressure Is On!
Ginette Golden ,   Toronto, Canada   (06.24.06)
Abbas "dear": the only deal you will ever get is a rocket ! I have a proposal...stop shelling Sderot and (maybe) the wonderful, courageous, IDF will curb their attacks on your beloved Gaza. The ball is in your corner...oops! I almost forgot, you don't have any. Marcel (# 1), you are dreaming, it won't happen. But it's OK, the Israeli are doing a wonderful job on putting the pressure themselves, they don't need Rice. (matza balls are ok :-))
12. Palestinians have their own country now.
D- ,   San Diego, USA   (06.24.06)
Israel is not responsible for handling the actions of Palestinians per juris prudence rules anymore. When Palestinians bombard Israel, Israel should bombard them back, like any other country would do. Unfortunately, Israel's bombs are too accurate to be effective. I hope Israel runs out of accurate bombs, and starts using more crude bombs, like the Palestinians. Then maybe they'll get the message! If I may suggest a new rule of engagement: -When an attack occurs from another territory, respond by a rule of "equivalent targeting". Equivalent targeting would work this way: If the target of the original attack was military, the response should target military. If the initial attack was against random targets in Israel's population, Israel's response should target random targets in Palestinian population.
13. Abbas is a man of peace
Daniel ,   North Tel Aviv   (06.24.06)
a remarkable leader that I have met as part of the peace camp in Israeland was very impressed by him. Olmer will be crazy not to embrace Abbas and make concessions in order to strenghen him against extremism. Israel will never find a more moderate man on the Palestinian side. Those who didn't want the late Yasser Arafat got hamas. Those who don't want Abbas will get Al-Qaeda. Give Abbas what he wants, he is the best friend of Israel in the arab world. Daniel, the Jewish voice of reason
14. daniel stop it
haim ,   mtl canada   (06.24.06)
u r still a traitor so just shut up
15. Abbas go to Dana Olmert, not Condoleezza Rice!
MED ,   USA   (06.24.06)
Abbas needs to go to the Peace Now traitors and get them to act as human shields for his pathetic 'Palestinian' Arabs. Perhaps Dana Olmert would volunteer. The Palestinian Arabs have played their role of victimhood to the hilt. Superb actors!!! They want us all to marinate in their incessant 'tears' they shed before media cameras. It's time to stop this deceit, time to stop violence against Israeli and time to stop telling lies to inflame your Arab brethren and hoodwink the rest of the world. You guys have cried wolf for long enough.
16. 13 Daniel <<<< This is the impersonator Ellen aka Oliva BBC
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (06.25.06)
17. #13. And what is it exactly that Abbas wants?
Ram ,   London   (06.25.06)
18. I recommend Israel assume the Reagan Doctrine...
David ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.25.06)
Just say no.
19. Arafat in A Gucci Suit = Abbas = Butchers at Work
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (06.25.06)
Remember Munich - it was Abbas' work: Abbas: This is also Abbas: PA Pres. Abbas - the new resurrected Arafat in a designer suit - to European Parliament against unilateralism - silent on actually fighting terror - The butchers involvement in Munich massacre seemingly forgiven http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=33352 The Fuehrer’s Deputy” - Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen). ... Co-architect of the Oslo Agreement; Revisionist and denier of the Holocaust; Is welcomed in the EU Parliament - when actually it is a crime to be a Holocaust denier in Europe. http://www.gamla.org.il/english/article/2003/march/g1.htm Abu Mazen has made his own contribution to the denigration of those already killed. In 1983, he wrote... The Other Side: The Secret Relationship between Nazism and the Zionist Movement, wherein he suggested that the figure of six million Jews murdered by the Nazis was a false one, "peddled" by the Jews..... To bolster that thesis, Abbas quotes known Holocaust revisionists as authoritative sources... Zionists, he Abbas contends, collaborated with the Nazis to murder Jews, in order to gain sympathy for the creation of the State of Israel. It is outrageous that the BBC once could describe the author of this nonsense as a "highly intellectual man... the author of several books." This is the same MAN - The EU Parliament (US as well) invites as the peace maker partner and moderate man. Isn't the EU for once asking Abbas to clarify his position on the Holocaust. No clear statement is/was ever forthcoming. How come ? Today, we demand The EU and US come forth with statements and face the Truth the taxpayer has a right to know the truth. http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/comment-ratzlav-katz031903.asp
20. Abbas..or not to Abbas!
Dr. Rick ,   Enterprise, AL. USA   (06.26.06)
How did this nokhshlepper come to the position he is in today? How did he pass muster to present himself to the Israelis and the Americans as a moderate? Can the Palis produce any credible leader capable of good faith? I just don't get it. Sure, Abbas appears to want to take care of his people , but it seems that this man is constantly 'running inteference' for Hamas(American football term).If it is possible, I think this man needs to get his house in order first before he even considers telling Condi Rice to pressure the Israelis to stop escalating tensions. He should go to Hollywood with his acting ability! Oy!
