Al Aqsa is part of Fatah therefore their commander in chief is Abbas and he's responsible for their actions. Condeming it after the event is a cheap lie he shouldn't have ordered the attack in the first place.

I write this comment as not a racist toward our enemies the mohammedites and ishmaelites which I proudly am but as a child born in a dp camp many years ago This man is a Shoah denier , he has never publically refuted it, he is a cockroach that is kissed on both cheeks by our kapo- leaders, This man is tolerated and dined all over the world, ynet runs articles by fools that defend befriending this worm , all in the name of peace shame on all of you.... the dead will not tolerate your appeasement..........

Same Scheiss, Different Day "We condemn all acts of terror" blah blah blah blah "This makes the Palestinians look bad" blah blah blah blah

What you say is worthless and meaningless, just like you.

What this schmock means is that if it did benefit the Palis it would have been a "good" operation... Be carefull of Abbas. You are dealing with a terrorist wearing a suit!!!

get off it boys and girls and give the man a break he was busy solving the crisis in somalia and other problems in the african continent after some relaxation and shopping switzerland ... and believe me as soon as he had a spare minute he issued his apologies for what happened...for god sake what more do you want, now you should pay him one hundred more million dollars to pay off his travel private jet expensis!

nevermind the loss of jewish life

If he said this in Hebrew or English, how did he put it in Arabic?

Find the terrorist organization responsible for setting this homicide bomber up with his equipment and execute them all. What a shame you can't execute the murderer . . . that would be most fitting, but he's already dead. Kind of makes it easy to spout empty rhetoric like the lead statement.

...of the homicide bombing, not in the least a denouncement of the cowardly act itself. Of course to Abbas and his fatah thugs, homicide bombing is a perfectly legitimate form of "resistance". It's only bad when the timing is wrong. Hey Olmert, why not give them a few more millions and remove some more checkpoints, then we'll be practically drowning in peace!

as always the palastinians condem - if they at all do it - only the unclever timing or the damage to palestinian interest of such actions, not an inhuman attack with human tragedies. when there in contrast are UNWANTED palestinian civilian casulaties of IDF actions than israel apologizes for the human tragedies and does not say: "we are sorry, this could be not good for israeli interest"

Palestinians Unite Behind Terror Attack, As Bomber Fulfils PLO Leader's Wishes By Michael Widlanski Tuesday, 30 January, 2007 Three Israeli civilians were murdered by a Palestinian terrorist in Eilat yesterday who was explicitly fulfilling the request of PLO leader Mahmoud Abbas that the Palestinians stop fighting each other and start aiming their weapons against Israel. "Our rifles, all our rifles are being aimed at the enemy," declared a masked spokesman for the Islamic Jihad terror organization shortly after the bomb attack on a bakery in the southern Israeli resort city of Eilat. Jihad's statement copied Dr. Abbas's call-two weeks ago-for Palestinian unity and for attacking Israeli "occupation" instead of "brother" Palestinians... "Let a thousand flowers bloom, and let our rifles, all our rifles, all our rifles, be aimed at the Occupation," declared Abbas in a public rally that was aired on Palestinian television and radio on January 11, but his words were largely ignored by the Western press and diplomatic corps. Official Palestinian television reported last night (Jan. 29, 5PM English broadcast) that the attack was carried out by the Islamic Jihad with the help of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade of the Fatah organization, that is headed by Abbas... In fact, the state media controlled by Abbas, such as the Al-Quds newspaper, referred to the human bomber as a "shahid" or martyr, a title of honor...

The mother of the Eilat bakery killer says she knew in advance of her son's plan. That makes her an accessory to murder. Abbas should have her arrested immediately, and tried for her crime.

These people... They actually think if you kill children, if you kill women you go to heaven. This is not an ideology. It's a mental illness.

Abbas is such a fake and a Holocaust denier. IF he really wanted peace he would condemn because its a war crime and a crime against humanity, not because its bad for his cause. I dont see the direct quote of what he said, but if he didnt say it was wrong to kill civilians then there is no reason to EVER talk to him.

I can't even write anything without using foul language. "Does Not Benefit the Palestinians" - not that it's morally abhorent or anything. If our gov't had any balls, they would throw him out & send him into exile with the other thieves from Fatah.

Well, this is certainly a relief. I am now reassured and have become optimistic again. NOT Arafat reincarnate. Just how long will Oldmerde and the other Merdes of Kadima allow this charade and farce to continue?

I don't understand how this all keeps happening. The US media is to blame for all this. Every bit of this is purely to gain attention. Everything evil being done is so done to get a good TV rating for "The Palestine Show". The thing that sickens me is that virtually everybody knows that the people who own every major media type in America are the fake NYC style of self-professed, but not actual Jews. As such, you'd think they would be more loyal to Israel. I have personally seen their little trick of hiding in a group of six angry young men, kneeling down and aiming upwards so it looks like an army of people. I have heard of their tricks of PAYING young Arab children in Gaza to tip cars and set stuff on fire so they can get a better story. Why don't you Israelis FILM THE FILMERS? Expose those who make an "exposé" on your soil. I thumbed through Adolph Hitler's book, Mein Kampf, once. I am not kidding you, at LEAST every sixth page had the word "propaganda" on it. Go give it a try at the book store tonight. Major MEDIA is the media upon which rides propaganda. The Bible calls Satan the "Prince of the power of the air". Most of us think that means Satan can throw a lightening bolt or something, but when you couple it with the fact that he is described as a beautiful being and the "bearer of light" and you couple THAT with the fact that radio and TV waves are lightwave energy, perhaps it will become apparent that SATAN is the guy behind the propaganda. He's running TV and radio. Israel must fight fire with fire. Israel needs a propaganda ministry. And that sucker who runs it needs to be an ad executive from a Fortune 500 company. By all and by any means, you MUST get a satellite or geostationary blimp up in the sky to teach my stupid, gullible people what is REALLY happening. It must be strong enough to override the jamming that CNN, CBS, NBC and ABC will try to do to it. I don't care how much it costs. Find a way. Of course, if you make and sell a video, you can make money off the scumbags.

12/1/2007 Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday called on Palestinians to refrain from internal fighting and to direct their guns only against Israeli "occupation." (Abbas, speaking during a rally marking the 42nd anniversary of the founding of his Fatah party) OLMERT, LIVNI AND PERETZ CALL THIS LIAR A MODERATE????????

A member of an outfit under Abbas’ control goes out there, blows himself to bits and kills three people. Then this same “leader” turns around and condemns this act that wouldn’t have happened without his consent. 1.Either the Palis’ leadership is nuts. 2. They think that everybody else is nuts. 3. Three innocent Israelis had to die, so Abbas could point out - and sooner or later he will - that the heroic act of one of his minions stopped the Palis’ killing each other and redirected their anger at the “occupation,” aka innocent Israelis, even if it only lasts for a day, a week or a month. And the whole world keeps a straight face and acts as if this were normal ……

Sure he did! If you believe that I've got a terrific deal for you. His condemnation is just like the ones Arafat used to. One thing in English and another in Arabic. The original one saying it was to unite Fatah and Hamas showing they had the same goal to kill the Israelis is more like it.

Either hat redirection didn't work too well, one day was enough, or the target was too good to pass up. Ok, boys and girls, back to business as usual. No Nobel Peace Prize for Abbas!

Once again Abbas semi-denounces terrorist murders in English while I'm sure he is lavishing praise on the killers in Arabic. There isn't a nickel's bit of difference between any of the terrorist gangs. They are all waging a genocidal war against the Jewish state. They all desire the annihilation of Israel and the extermination of the Jewish people. Don't fall for a couple of carefully chosen words by the thug Abbas. He just a violent criminal iwho wears an expensively tailored suit.

No point for the "president" of gaza to apologize. He does absolutely nothing at all to stop the violence. In fact, he encouraged the people to focus their hatred on the enemy, ISRAEL. Now, is this a partner for peace?? I think not. Reality check, no peace partner really exists in gaza, west bank, syria, or iran.
