the next suicide bomber who will be comming out of the "WEST BANK". The only "BANK" this sheister in religious garb believes in in the the SWISS.

Oh, we'll recognize them, but they won't recognize us. They don't recognize us NOR our government. Why do we always have to prostitute ourselves to the Arabs? Well, that's not necessarily accurate. At least a prostitute gets something in return.

Where is $20 million of the 400 going? Just follow the money... http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=20445

Why would Israel support such a massively unpopular government? right... olmert is an idiot.

Thanks for the money. We need it to buy new Katuyshas. You are so dumb. You could catch Abbas shooting the missle yourselves and you would make a newsstory he was trying to stop it. I don't know why we even pretend to want peace with you. You are so pathetic you will commit suicide in any case

And when they use the money and guns to kill us, Mr. Prime Minster, will you resign then? We saved arafat (y'mach shemo v'zichrono) from exile in Tunis--look what it got us. This will be no different, but Jews NEVER NEVER learn.

can't you see the strings???

This is going to come back and bite Israel/US in rhe ass.Abbas and his chums are rubbing their hands in glee at the good fortune that has come their way as a result of getting their butts' kicked by Hamas.So continually stupid. Post#6,Mohammed,I think has summed the Pal thinking on this subject and he's probably right.

Obviously, Mohammad does not live over here, or he wouldn't be saying what he is saying........... people here need to eat, and are sick and tired of this crap.............. enough is enough, we need out of this mess, if Abu Mazen can do it, we are all behind him, and anyone who wants to fight can move to gaza in exchange for the gazans who want to live......

as long as it isn't democratically elected, and the people WE want are running it" Hell, if Azmi Bshara was PM of Israel, I'm sure Hamas would recognize the state in a heartbeat!

Those who do not learn from history are doomed ........ Did Olmert learn nothing from surrendering Gaza and Ariel Sharon's present condition ? No ! Because he has failed to learn many in Israel will suffer greatly . It's a fact and it is written.There is a price we will pay for this blatant stupidity of Olmert and Bush .

when they REFUSE to recognize the existence of the TRUE deed holders (Israel) of the land that THEY (Pa's) occupy THEY are nothing but,squatters)! Ya'all need to take a BIG broom and sweep out your current government. THEY are as screwed up as our "leaders!!!" Also, they (your "leaders") must STOP jumping through the hoops that our government (USA) keeps putting in front of them and make the critical decisions that effect YOU themselves without "advice" or prompting of George W and/or Billy Chaney!

Now that he has infiltrated them and still controls them. Now he will pour money into their hands thinking his PA followers will do his dirty work. I sincerely hope it does backfire and the Palestinians, once they get the money, turn their backs on the US and Israel, as they should.

that recognition would come in return for the interest sum due to 400 million $ held by Israel for 2 years . Business is business.

that's the real problem! how long have you been in Israel? how long have you been in contact with Arabs? how long have you been studying your neighbors culture? let me guess 10, 100, 1000 years or more, I would not argue that, but Arabs prefer to think for themselves. No hard feelings!

in that 20 million. To your knowledge he has a plestinian citizenship. Will he apply to Israel or PA, because he does not know the owner of this 20 million?

Why the need to recognize Abbas and fatah? They don't recognize Israel. Abbas is lapping up this recognition even though he's been proven to be a duplicitous facilitator of murder and murderers. A 'moderate' murderer is still a murderer. Children in the West Bank are still being taught to hate Israel and to want to become martyrs. (Why are you letting this continue Mr. Abbas?) Let the Arab states pour their money down the Palestinian drain. Israel is run by morons and the country is always saved by the blood of its young men and women. Mr. Olmert, give Abbas 72 hours to confiscate all weapons in the West Bank. If he can't deliver 100,000 guns, you'll know he's up to his old tricks. The West bank is an armed camp just waiting to pounce on Israel and Abbas will lead the charge when the time comes. And what will you say, Mr Olmert, "e tu, Abbas??"

And a great politician! I like him. I can't lie to myself! His ties are sooo elegant AND he wears his watch on the right wrist!!! Like me...!!! We have so much in common...!!!

The goal of the PA and Hamas is the same. The method is different. One seeks to accomplish the goal by an all out frontal attack when ready. The other in a frontal attack when they are sure that Israel has compromised herself by disobeying Hashem's covenant. Then, expecting Hashem to fight against Israel they will launch an attack that will be sure to bring victory. Same goal different strategy. Which one do you think will work the best?

government! This brown nosed coward can not do enough for the terrorists. Too bad he did not give funds to fix bomb shelters in the north. Or money to the I.D.F. Or education. I hope people will start to see the only difference between shas and hamas is how they want to kill us Jews. shas sucks the life out of us and supports the enemies of the state of Israel. ham-ass just wants to kill us.

at least he is a true (Y)ehud !

Aside from ALL the obvious reasons NOT to assist the Gazan Arabs, I thought Israel EXPELLED and made tens of thousands of Jews refugees to wash its hands of Gaza! What the f--k are they doing still assisting them? Isn't that akin to spitting in the faces of the Jews in S'derot et al who are murdered and maimed by these same Gazans? I have said this before & I will keep repeating it - until the regime's near & dear ones suffer the consequences of their actions, they will not attempt to protect the Jews in Israel.

HE IS NOT SALAM NEVER SALAM FAYYAD BUT HE IS pure american . may not fit israil .. trust me

Even if it was Al-Qaeda or Hizbullah that took over Gaza you would still find a way to "SOMEHOW" see that the arabs really TRULLY want to make peace and give them millions upon billions of dollars to them and in the end all it would do is support terror and the killing of innocent Israeli's and westerner's! There will never be peace in the ME yet somehow no matter who comes into power for the Arabs you have all these stupid Jews and I am myself Jewish so I am not saying it in a demeaning manner but you have all these Jews saying "they are still our friends and trully want peace just like us we just have to give them what they want!" You are so dissilussioned and do not wish to see that you called for Israel to leave Lebanon and we did so now we have an Iranian backed military front on our northern border then you said we have to leave Gaza and now we have rockets fallling in Sderot, Ashkelon, and many other cities in the negev and yet you still say we must tranfer all this money to an Arab government that has no real power and you wish to negotiate with a government that can really promise nothing and never will be able to since they want the death and destruction of the little Satan which is Israel in order to move onto the GREAT SATAN which is the U.S.A.! Wake up and smell the coffee and stop hallucinating that they want peace because that day will never come as peace has not existed ever only lulls in fighting and strategic shifts in the way they can lower themselves to kill more Jews, Christians and Westerners!

he needs to be stripped of his religion that shameful disgraceful corrupt slimy 0 percent approval rating goofball

The reason you will be able to “recognize” them is because they didn’t change much in the last 59 years.
