1. Money for arms
Petra Blumenfeld ,   usa   (01.09.07)
I received an email stating our State Department has delayed arms shipments to Israel. Can this be verified? I've heard nothing about it on the News. Any thoughts? I've written to my Senators, have You?
2. How sad.
Sheikh yer Bu'Tay   (01.09.07)
This is a really, really stupid move by the USA. Just like the $36 million given to the legitimate government of Lebanon. It will only cause more fighting. If only I could stop it.
3. Money for Nothing n Guns for free
john ,   nz   (01.09.07)
Now that ain't working, US should know it
4. #3 George Bush wants War Not Peace

6. We Are Really Governed By Fools.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (01.09.07)
7. The US is naive enough....
DR ,   Florida, USA   (01.09.07)
to think that there are Palestinians who actually want peace and control with civility. This is never the case, despite what the Jimmy carters of the world say. Stop giving them money, stop giving them weapons and stop pretending that these people want to live side by side with Israel in peace. They do not...period!!!
8. Go ahead, buy weapons. Eat them too.
Yonatan ,   USA   (01.09.07)
I used to have so much sypathy for the palestinians. I really wanted them to have a state. As far as I'm concerned now, you can all starve.
9. To all talkbackers...
Kareem ,   Egypt   (01.09.07)
It's in the US interest that there is instability in the region..it's all they want..war...of course, who wouldn't want the "hero" image?! The US is the reason for these Middle East wars..fueling both sides with weapons, making them fight more..then they invade the place n kill'em all..hence achieving wat they call "peace" and get rewarded for being saviours of more lives. Why do u think they give weapons to Abbas? They know that Hamas are stronger..n so they wanna make it a fair war, to make sure more ppl get killed from both sides..I just can't wait till the US decides to invade Gaza..they sure will get a beating worse than the IDF in Lebanon.
10. God bless Aaron Klein
Howard, USA ,   Philadelphia, USA   (01.09.07)
11. #9 Kareem - are you OK pal?
Scott ,   Australia   (01.09.07)
"I just can't wait till the US decides to invade Gaza..they sure will get a beating worse than the IDF in Lebanon." Keep dreaming Kareem. The US wont be going anywhere near Israel or Gaza.
12. #9...delusional, brainwashed Kareem
DR ,   Florida, USA   (01.09.07)
The US supports Abbas because he is moderate compared to Hamas. The US always has to choose the lesser of two evils ( Iraq and Iran, Taliban and USSR etc.) The fact that Palestinians are animals and kill each other all the time is no ones fault but theirs. The US is not their puppet master, we pull no strings. And your comment about the Us invading Gaza and getting whipped like Israel did in Lebanon was just plain idiotic. Have you seen pictures of Beirut after Israel left...not pretty. But yet idiots like you think Israel "lost". Delusional and brainwashed...no other way to describe people like you.
13. #9 Kareem, if you really believe your garbage...
Yonatan ,   USA   (01.09.07)
I have kitchen utensils more intelligent than you are.
14. Proof Bush Wants to Desroy Israel
emanon ,   USA   (01.09.07)
Why else allow the transfer? We all know where the money will end up.
15. Bush... Bush...
Lynne   (01.09.07)
I don't know when the US will stop this stratetgy of supporting one side of a dispute only to cause further chaos!! is that how Pres. Bush thinks he could solve this?? if he has no reasonable solution to this then I suggest he keeps quiet!! now we'll see someone defending Bush and saying that he's only trying to help!! will he give Abbas the millions that he was going to give to Israel??
16. Palestine will be free one day
Eric ,   Los Angeles, CA   (01.09.07)
The arms shipment to Fatah is part of a plan to exacerbate tensions between the Palestinians to make them easier for Israel to handle. If we (Israel/US) create civil war among Palestinians then their attention is taken off Israel- it's like the divide and conquer tactics emplyed many times past. Hamas was stronger until these new weapons arrived but now they can gove each other a fair, bloody fight. The US and Israel HOPE Fatah comes out on top because Abbas is the moderate. In the end, they'll kiss and make up and destroy Israel most likely whether the US likes it or not. I think Israel will cease to exist one day because all Arabs and all of Europe see the mistake in creating it to begin with.
17. this isn't what I want, but
713 ,   Seattle US   (01.09.07)
It looks like Bush is really mad at Israel for attacking Lebenon... Or he is trying to start a civil war in the PA territories.. either way, he is arming them... See when I said you should drive food, cloths, and books into PA, the idea was ment to, "not have this happen with the money" by sending in money, you create armed militias, if you send food, and cloths, you don't... see that wasn't a bad idea. now you face the repercussions of your desicions.
18. #16, sorry to rain on your parade...
DR ,   Florida, USA   (01.09.07)
but Israel is going nowhere. You think Hamas and Fatah can destory Israel? Are you high? Seven huge Arab countries couldn't touch Israel. The world knows how important Israel is, not just religiously, but morally as well. I don't know if you hate Jews or if you just think Israel is a mistake, but you are definitely wrong.
19. #11, 12 & 13 check again
(01.09.07)
Your dream is fading. How long would your nationalistic drive last ? Israel is on the decline ? Don't drop your Diaspora; sooner or later it would be your actual safe home. Check again that you haven't droped it.
20. 713
Lynne   (01.09.07)
Bush mad at Israel!! and for what??!! is that why the US refused that Israel stops the war after days? is that why the US was aiding Israel with weapons at that time?? is that why Rice stated happily that the war in Lebanon is the begining of a new ME????
21. #7 DR...
Lynne   (01.09.07)
with mentalities like yours of course no one will want peace!! we never hear you denouncing Israel's illegal use of weapons!! you could not ask one side to lay the arms and sing peace!! in my opinion Israelis and Palestinians should not be provided with weapons!! they should be FORCED to either live in peace or pack up and leave!!
22. to Lynne #21
Mike ,   Atlanta, USA   (01.09.07)
I have to agree with you on this one. I feel as though US involvement in Israeli affairs leaves Israel in a weaker position vis a vis the Palestinians, Syria, Lebanon, etc. Neither Israel nor the PA can force each other to live in peace because the US, among other foreign powers, continues to fuel conflict.
23. as long
Joe ,   Canada   (01.09.07)
as they keep killing each other who really gives a shit,transfer more money,the sooner these animals are extinct the better,they will do anything as long as you keep paying them.
24. ME Setup
Ryan ,   Calgary, Canada   (01.09.07)
The US cannot use it's full force without being called on it and asked for restraint at home and from abroad. Weapons in the PA means more civil disobedience, violence and death. Israel sits back and watches attentively so it doesn't carry over. While this happens, Iran causes turmoil in Iraq, occupying time and manpower of US forces there in the name of security for the Iraqis. Iran arms Hizbullah and Hizbullah takes over Lebanon, while the US and Israel are concerned elsewhere. Syria prepares for war while seeking peacetalks, where peacetalks is a stall front similiar to Irans nuclear negotiations. There is no conflict therefore no peacetalks necessary. Egypt waits while acting friendly. Lebanon will fall, Hizbullah will have control of the army, Syria will go for the heights, PA will unite and attack Israel, suicide bombers, rockets, small arms attacks, Egypt will mount forces at the border, probably telling Israel they are there for Israels help if required, while waiting for Iran to say attack. lebanon will help Syria. Italy will help Israel with the PA. Egypt and Iran will attack Italy, Iran will attack US naval force, militias attack US Iraqi force, Nato will attack Iran, pakistan will attack Nato, India will attack pakistan. US will counter Iran, Israel will flatten Damascus, lebanese will take there country back, Egypt will shrink back. France will come out of hiding, lol. Canada and UK will be involved in Nato. Japan will preemtively attack NK, China will help NK, SK will help Japan, US and Aussie will help Japan. Taiwan will be free. China will attack US with Russian help. While the UN writes very stern letters.
25. #24 NK ! do you mean Neutri Karta or North Korea ?

R. Alkalai ,   USA   (01.10.07)
Israel's illegal use of weapons? Exactly, which "illegal" weapons are you referring to? And what about denouncing Hez's illegal weapons as well. While we are on this, what about suicide belts used specifically, and intentionally in civilian areas-to create as much terror and pain as possible, or are they just fashion accessories? Sadly, you will never eradicate weapons from any country, or person, who feels the need to protect themselves. As long as Islamic clerics declare Jihads and that a Calif shall rule the world under Islam, and the Mahdi will come as soon as the world is destroyed- you won't change a thing. It is not just the US, or other nations- it is religious beliefs corrupted by power hungry, hateful, mad men impersonating men of the cloth and the stupidity of those who follow them. Solve that little problem, and there will be a better chance at it.
27. Israeli conflict
zach   (01.11.07)
If Hezbollah threw their weapons into the sea, there would be peace. If Israel threw their weapons into the sea, there would be another Holocaust.
28. #17
(01.11.07)
"by sending in money, you create armed militias, if you send food, and cloths, you don't..." Yeah and if you send food and clothes then you feed and clothe the armed militias. good idea!
29. arming hamas
joel ,   phoenix arizona usa   (01.11.07)
oh my fellow JEWS please dont tell me that you are giving guns to animals that would cut off your heads and kill your children. What happened to the term " never again ". These weapons will be used against you in the future.
30. guns
