Hamas issues warning to lift ban    Reuters
1. Time to disolve PA government NOW!
Hamas is ,   Insane   (03.30.07)
2. Hamas
Hamas stop dreaming you will never ever have your own state on Israeli land !

3. Sounds reasonable to me

4. Sounds reasonable to me

5. Like I said -winning the 67 war was our biggest mistake

6. I keep telling Israel-you have a wonderful peace partner
Who better than Haniyeh!
Jacques Chirac ,   Paris   (03.30.07)
7. Who says the Palis don't favour negotiations?

8. What'll it be this time....
Pushed into the sea? Open the gates of hell? Lords of war? LOL!!!!

9. "...reassess its strategy?"
Hamas' only strategy has and always will be violence, threats, intimidation and extortion. Here's a new strategy for you, Mr. Haniyeh: 1. Fix the crumbling infrastructure in Gaza so people won't be drowning in their own waste; 2. Use taxes to collect garbage, not weapons; 3. Build youth centers for teens instead of using them as canon fodder; 4. Build an economy for the prosperity of fellow Palestinian Arabs instead of squatting on former settlements and using them to train hopeless jihadists; 5. Send young people to college so they can learn to make their own decisions about what is good for their people instead of brainwashing them with lies and no hope for their future as a people. Unity Governement or not, when it comes down to the hard work of governing and facilitating self-determination for their fellow Arabs, Hamas has been a resounding and miserable failure.
Same rhetoric, ,   different day---USA   (03.30.07)
10.  Hamas will never recognize Israel:
Palestine will never become an independent country until they do.
(03.30.07)
11. Why is not giving handouts called a 'sanction' and 'siege' ?
What Haniyeh and Abbas (and all the others) want is something for nothing! Not giving them handouts is not a 'sanction' or a 'siege' it is simply not giving a beggar a gift. This is typical Hamas (the PA is now Hamas) propaganda and it causes people to wrongly believe that they are being punished. Charity which they have received billions of was a gift for which they should be forever grateful. If countries decide not to give any more gifts then what is wrong with that ? Nothing. They are simply ungrateful con artists and should be set aside for the time being.

12. Hamas is full of do do!
Scared little rats. One poof and they will run like sheep. Time to put an end to this stupid, foolish party that has no backbone. Israel can destroy this pack of fools by shutting off the water.
Jacqueline ,   USA   (03.30.07)
13. Like a baby, Haniye throws a tentrum whenever
he's told "no you can't have that, until you behave propely". Next comes the spanking.
Allan ,   US   (03.30.07)
14. No arab unity here
How is it that under the peace proposal all arab states will recongnize Israel for pre 67 land yet Hamas says they won't. Why even discuss the proposal then if it means nothing to Hamas, They want all of the land, until then no peace for them, no compromise. How are peace deals struck with such leadership and unwillingness to compromise.

15. How sad, but who can be surprised
Of course the usual suspects will write about the mythical land stealing crap. Let's see how does this go again.? What would you do if somebody threw you off the land and stole it. That's the ticket, i can blow up schools and cafe's filled with civilians. I can teach my kids to be good little suicide maniacs. They will learn to kill people just because the are Jewish and even go to heaven for committing cold blooded murder. I will use my kids as human shields and cry to the world press when the obvious happens. I will say this over and over again for 60 years knowing that as a PR move it will suceed, some good hearted people will believe the lies and the fake ,staged and doctored videos and pictures. Then slowly build a base of misguided by loyal supporters. Guess what? The Arabs have won the PR war so far. How sad. They really don't want peace just a base to launch more attacks

16. Embargo
the international community would be very stupid to lift the embargo,especially to hamas terrorists,well aren`t they already threatening by reassessing their terror options.
Jick ,   USA   (03.30.07)
17. listening to Haniyeh is listening to an sour old woman
Cameron ,   USA   (03.31.07)
18. WAITING FOR THE ATTACK HAHANIYE
HURRY PLEASE   (03.31.07)
19. THIS TERM "SIEGE" - ON CHARITY ? - PIMP !!
Andrew ,   Miami,FL   (03.31.07)
20. Hamas a joke, what more can one say.
Personally, all western countries that are against terror throughout the world should cut off all aid to this anti religious governing body.. And its not just jews it is christians in bethlehem and the west bank as well...
freedom ,   canada   (03.31.07)
21. "We have given what we were required"
Not true - you were required to recognize Israel and renounce terror - you've done neither.
Robby ,   San Jose   (03.31.07)
22. WRONG! More was required!
Suzanne   (03.31.07)
23. Pal Welfare
So,what he's saying is that if they don't get their welfare checks,there will be hell to pay.What a pathetic bunch..and even more pathetic are the assholes that listen to him.All he has to do is listen to what the world is asking him..renounce violence,acknowledge Israel and abide by previous resolutions.Sooner or later,Israel is going to get fed up,forget about this political correct nonsense,and go in and straighten these fools up..Saudi Arabia and it's phony accord be damned! Why don't these people just get a job?
Nemesis   (03.31.07)
24. Haniyeh and dignity
How much dignity can they have when they are begging the world for money.Dignity is deserved when you work for what you get,not welfare handouts.But,of course,it's becxause of the occupation,right,never mind the fact that they destroyed greenhouse that could have helped them,never mind the fact that they spend millions on arms instead of pita bread..sick!

25. GREAT NEWS!!!
"Hamas issues warning to lift ban" Great, this is exactly what a ban is supposed to inspire -- a change of strategy on the part of Hamas and the Palestinian government. A strategy where peace with and acceptance of your neighbor leads to a more prosporous future for all concerned. Oops, I just read the rest of the article. I should have realized the world is dealing with an indignant, ignorant, inept and uncomprising body. Well, welcome to the current leadership and agenda of the Palestinian government :)

26. Not One Inch of G-D GIVEN Jewish Holy Land to the Enemy
Who will dare to give away, take or steal one inch of Jewish Holy Land that G-D gave to Jews for all eternity. Not one single dollar of American tax money to killers who seek a second Holocaust of Jews. The American people refuse to finance terrorism and mass murder of Jewish innocents. G-D NEVER changes His Laws. G-D commanded: YOU SHALL NOT MURDER
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (03.31.07)
27. Embargo? Qu'est-ce que c'est?
So these clownish beggars and slovenly thugs claim they are being embargoed, eh? What is the product they produce that is not being purchased? Seems to me that these scumbags are whining that the productive people of the world have partially cut off their welfare checks, and are threatening violence unless they are paid off. Let's wipe them from the map and be done with it. This would be a much more efficient use of resources. Any politician proposing such a strategy has my vote.

28. Redmike how bout we stop giving money to Israel ?
I mean, Israel takes more USA than anyone in the world. From Americans tax dollars, footed by the poor and middle class of this country. Yet, if we question this policy, we are labled anti-semitic. So, then, since you ask why Palestines can't stop taking gifts, ask yourself, can Israel stop taking Americans Tax dollars, as a gift. And the sad thing is that most of us don't even know we are taking money right out of our poor's pockets, and giving it to you so you can defeat a defenseless nation...... So ask yourslef the question, who are the ungreatful con artists, and if you can answer that, stop taking our tax dollars. We need it for our own. Hypocrite

29. give em' their money
Why be a hardass forever? Withholding funds is another silent form of occupation! People with jobs need to get paid. Not every Palestinian is a terrorist.

30. Hamas
Here in the United States we organizations like Hamas and Hezbolla.....They are called Gangs...Like the Crips or Bloods, or the Mexican Mafia or MS13. Hamas should be treated like a Gang....Round them up, Put them in Jail.....Gitmo will be available in the near future. That would be a great place for Hamas....I think Hamas has one option....recognize Israel or Die......
