'The extremists in Palestine have done everything they could possibly do to create such ugly horrors that they hoped they could make peace so distasteful to Israelis that Israelis would reject it. ' Those extremists are the rank and file of the population and their leaders. The PNA has NEVER fulfilled a single one of their obligations. Not one, whereas our leaders did not fulfill their obligations to the Israeli people namely protecting the citizens from terrorism. The PNA is a terrorist organization and needs to be destroyed.

Most of people here want peace but they want a justic peace not killing peace, free our occupied lands, remove the wall, give us money and make us to live like humans, then there will not be any violence, but if u continue the siege and still making us to live in a big prison like this, the only language will be the violence! thanks

There is no difference whatsoever between 'moderates' and 'extremists'. From time immemorial they are hell-bent on destroying Israel, killing all Jews and looting anything and everything.

Impossible

The palestinians want peace and they struggle for it. Even the extremists agreed to the 1967 UN resolution. Israel want to pick what serves its interest from the UN resolution and neglect the rest of it. UN res. is very clear, and both nations can live happily after. Then who's fault do we see here. Bombing and killing will never bring peace.

Read Abdallah #2. This is exactly why there is no peace. ' give us money and make us to live like humans, then there will not be any violence, but if u continue the siege and still making us to live in a big prison like this, the only language will be the violence! ' Why don't you DO something to earn money! Give you money, what a stupid thing to do. Make you live like humans, first you have to do that and second you would have to act like one. So far you have done neither. All this about what we should do, what about what you should do? When are you going to fulfill your obligations, especially no violence?

Kingdom of Jordan.

a liar, or a traitor?

Few of us are buying this peace BS anymore. The only "Back to the Future" I want to see is "Before Oslo" & I would leave you to imagine how I think it should be achieved. P.S. - the only extremists I can think of are Peace Now, B'Tselem, Amnesty Intl., etc. although I suspect that some closet cases are sitting at the UN.

give you money? why should we give you money. once you have a country, you, habibi, are on your own. no israeli water, no israeli electricity, no israeli jobs, no israeli cross over to trade, no israeli palestinian connection at all. you want money? work for a living. is that understood? build your own country and do not stretch your palm for donation. you want your co8untry? go ahead and build it! do you even know how????

What makes you think that Hamas, Al Aqsa Brigades etc will give up terror if you have a state??? These groups are hell -bent on the destruction of israel regardless of statehood or not. They admit this openly. So your wishful thinking and demands of Israel are unrealistic at best. Sorry, but Palestinians need to make some fundemental changes in their culture and society beofre anyone will have peace with them...even other Palestinians!!!

There is NO comparison between the Israelis and palestinians that you call consider to be extremists. The most extreme Israeli is still a lot more moderate in comparison to the most moderate palestinians. Now that's a FACT.

This is sophistry. The Israeli governmental response is not terrorism. Suicide bombings and other alestinian military resistance indiscrimiantely aimed at Israeli civilians while initiated from Palestinian civilian areas is terrorism pure and simple. To attempt equate the two types of actions is the height of propoganda and does nothing to further peace. All it takes for peace to "break out" is for the Palestinians to cease their violence and terrorism. The problem is that the Palestinians do not understand or desire the concept of peace or else they would demand that their leaders bring about such.

I firmly believe that once we get all the differences on the table, they can be resolved in some fashion.

Is someone else trying to stir these wars up? I meet these Arabs and they really don't seem to hate the Jews the way say the American Skinheads do. Is someone using them to cause problems for some alternative reason?

Ray i truly think you words do not mean a thing to Palestinians. Arafat surrendered almost 80% of Palestine in Oslo and what did the Palestinians get? Massive settlement expansions in palestinian territories! Compromising one inch of Falasteen has never done a thing for peace and never will do anything for peace. Im astounded ray that you dont realize that the only way for peace is full withdrawal from 1967 occupied lands and right of return. Compromise? the palestinians have 'compromised' 80% of their land! Jewish immigrants to the land of Palestine demand that Palestinians accept the right for the racist state of Israel to exist?! Your article is very cowardly as you have accepted the right of Zionism to the land of Palestine. I agree Ray, lets fight for peace but for peace based on justice.

point of view. Calling Arafat revolutionary is to declare basic misunderstanding as to the definition of revolutionary's when used in a historical - political context., unless it is to describe Arafat's using suicide bombings to make his point which would logically undermine any "peace effort". This is a romanticized article that views the past history of this conflict with rose tinted glasses, unfortunately its not rose but blood, jewish blood. why isn't this article explaining HOW NOW we are to make peace and with WHOM???

ray, arabs rejected palastine division in 47 not bx they wanted to "write the injustice" rather bx they wanted to write the injustice. Enough abusing quotation marks. The division plan was truely injustice, true if they knew the inevitable outcome, they ought to have accepted them, out of pragmatism, not JUSTICE. When the majority of the areas given to jews were inhabited by arabs with most of the arab areas deprived of decent access to the mideterranean except for Gaza strip, what do u call that? i am not adverse to the notion of splitting land in principle, but it was simply based on the balance of power in the UN, not even practical, logistic land ownership, which would've made sense....True arabs failed big time after due to incompetent military dictators, overreliance on cowards in USSR and ofcourse USA, but stop shmoosing to jews adn call things what they were; injustice, even if we bite our fingers for not taking that deal...still after losing Haifa, Jaleel, jerusalem, i don't blame arafat at all for rejecting "barak's good deal" (here's a good use of "), I blame him for not counteroffering in the media & for putting cronies to lead after.......

just curious about the way u think, when u say "distroy PNA" do u mean anhialate the pals ppl? how do u envision pals to become? to leave? to not have leaders leading them, right or wrong, still leading? what do u mean?

Ray Hanania, the IDF needs you on the front line, please go take atrilary.

With all the recent State Department information that has come out on who Arafat really was, I'm surprised you think there was really any real leader here with the real interests of the Palestinian people. Please research this throughly. Arafat was either behind or connected to every other terrorist group in Europe from the '60's on. You name it: Black September, Bader Meinhoff ect. There was no way any type of peace could have been worked out. It was never Arafat's or the other terrorists intentions. Unfortunately, your Palestinians have be hosed for decades and used as pawns. We all know that something could have been worked out long ago were it not for out side interference and terroritst leadership hijacking and having hijacked the Palestinian People. Now RAY, I ASK YOU. Would any normal government have done to the Palestinian children what they have done if they really wanted to let the Palestininians have peace? NO! They know that the average Palestinian would make a settlement with the Israelis because most of them only want to raise a family, make some money, and have a life. Even the King of Jordan that was assasinated wanted the Jews in Israel because he knew they could most quickly bring the technology and finances to a part of the world that long lost it. Is it no wonder the current and former terrorist leaders of Palestine indoctrinated the children with hate? The parents used to know better so you got to brainwash the children and make them suffer if you want an army that ignores their parents and chooses terror over peace with economic benefits. If Hamas came in and built up the Gaza so they had an economy of some sort and could share with Israel's economic success, you could not have stopped peace. People don't fight and terrorize when they are benefitting economically. They choose to work things out. They have more to gain by offering what they have in return for something. WELL OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT WHAT ANY PALESTINIAN LEADERSHIP HAS EVER WANTED OTHERWISE THEY WOULD HAVE DONE IT LONG AGO. Even the Jordanians couldn't deal with the no good palestinian leadership. At one time they were shooting more at them than the Israelis. My former Palestinian friend was Jordanian. That mean that he was one of the few that could be loyal and trusted. No wonder he had a Jordanian passport, and we could talk honestly and get along well. The Palestinians are infected with a cancer that needs to be cut out and cured before anything can be accomplished. Only then can any of your dreams be realized.

who decided to reject all the other offers in the past...and then when they can't get their way, say "hey, I'll take that agreement from 5 years ago." I don't think so. That's like trying to purchase stock for 2 dollars that already has gone up to 50 dollars just because somebody offered to sell it to you at the 2 dollar price 5 years ago. Doesn't work that way. you try to eat your cake and hate it too. won't work. of course, try telling that a bunch of brainwashed, Jew-haters and it's kinda difficult. try to work on those folks. thanks much.

We gave you historic Jewish land to build your state in and come on, look what you have achieved What do you really expect from the world, you have turned it into the #1 terrorist haven

The solution to the Palestinian issue is to help the palestinians recover the 77% of British Mandate for Palestine that was cut off in 1921. The country that is now called Jordan is the homeland of the palestinians. Israel for the jews and Palestine/Jordan for the Palestinians. Very simple!

Do you think your people would have been better off? Curious what you think.

Aren't you embaressed for yourself and your people? Isn't it sad that YOU and YOUR PEOPLE turned Gaza into the hell that it is by sqandering money on weapons, by teaching victimhood and hate? Go grow some tomatos in Gaza like the Jews did. You have ONLY yourselves to blame. Send rockets into Israel and elect terrorists and wonder why we want nothing to do with your miserable lot.

Like the Oslo accord. What was clinton, and rabin thinking of. The 6 day war was a miraculous victory handed to the Israelis by Hashem. It was for the purpose of calling the Jews from around the world back home to the land he promised was theirs. The land was NEVER supposed to be given back to the pals. Since clinton failed with the terrorist arafat and rabin, he tries again with the SAME terrorist and this time with barak. And thank G-D arafat was to stupid to take the deal. Then lets undo Sharon and the US State Dept. and their STUPID road map to destruction. Someone needs to wake Sharon up to let him see what devastation the he has brought upon Israel, And then my president George Bush needs to be standing next to him as he tries to explain to the people of Israel why they never listened to those who told them that the terrorist would not be thankful to the Israelis for giving them Gaza, and instead they chose to elect another terrorist group to govern them. If you want to go back, go ALL the way back and do what Hashem says to do and quit listening to other nations are telling you what to do.

Of course, no mention of that. Nor of the occupied city of Bethlehem.. Dont worry, Israel will prevail..

The only resolution Israel recognizes is the one that created its existence and wants the world to recognize as well, otherwise all other UN resolutions can be thrown out the window. This is what Israel wants. It has no use for the rule of law other than the law it recognizes. In the end, as well as the beginning, the extremist is the State of Israel.
