1. hamas wants peace about as much as nature wants a vacuum
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (09.28.07)
actually, hamas' version of "peace" would be a living hell on earth. THAT'S what they really want.
2. First.....
Hiram ,   Paris   (09.28.07)
...shave Hanniyeh's beard ! Then explain to Hamas that no palestinian citizen is willing to go back to the dark ages already planned to be implemented by Islamic gangsters and dictators. Just like an unruly kid, Hanniyeh screws up everything, and then realizes that he was just an idiot and now is launching a PR campaign ! Islamism is definately a stupid ideology, even if not politically correct to say so ...!
3. Hamas in Gaza...like Hebollah in Lebanon
Franklin ,   France   (09.28.07)
Hamas spokesman says 'Israel will pay a hefty price', condemns PA's silence calling it : Proof PA is cooperating to eliminate Hamas'. Haniyeh aide says Israeli strikes only make Gaza more determined RECONCILIATE WITH FATAH... WHAT ELSE...??? No limit for their stupid ,decadent and suicidal attitude....
4. Why there can never be any separate Arab political entity
Uzi ,   Haifa   (09.28.07)
west of the Jordan? The answer is in some hard facts: The Arabs of Western Eretz Yisrael have consistently demonstrated that they are incapable of surviving unaided or ruling themselves, especially at the national polity level. They have never exercised their inherent right of self determination and now they expect others to determine and create for them that Mickey Mouse "state" which will never be. They constantly kill and steal from each other and lie to themselves, each other and the rest of the world. They never miss any opportunity to make atrocious choices and mistakes and they are incapable of sustaining and providing for themselves; they depend on others for everything. How on earth will they ever make it?
5. A better plan for everybody:
Uzi ,   Haifa   (09.28.07)
Israel should let Hamas to depose Abbas and smash Fatah, also in Judea and Samaria, on their way to abolish the PA and wipe it off the world map and consciousness. It will also open the way for the Kingdom of Jordan to take charge as the only viable nation state of all the Arabs of Greater Palestine. Having got rid of the PA, Israel and Jordan should agree on the border between them in Judea and Samaria and maybe cede Gaza to Egypt that would sort it out quite smartly. Everybody, Jews and Arabs, should continue to live in peace where they are and nobody should move from their homes or land. Israelis who would thus become residents of the Kingdom of Jordan should be given rights and conditions like the Arabs in Israel.
6. The next headache for everyone will be the corridor
Jake T ,   Alaska   (09.28.07)
that has to be established between the two halves of Palestine. Israel will be split in two. Nobody could conceive of Palestine being split in two, but Israel, well, who cares about Israel. Not even the government appears to care. If Israel does not take back Gaza (first option), then it would be best to let Egypt take it over.
7. On a lighter note....
Jake T ,   Alaska   (09.28.07)
The Hamas-Fatah power struggle has descended into the gutter over the past few days, with both parties trading allegations about the involvement of their members in homosexual relations and adultery. The alleged "sex scandals" are said to have occurred in the Gaza Strip, which fell into Hamas's hands in June. Shortly after the Islamist movement wrested control of the Strip, Hamas officials began talking about "embarrassing" and "damning" documents and films that were seized inside Palestinian Authority security headquarters formerly controlled by Fatah. A DVD distributed among a limited number of Hamas representatives features a former PA official having sex with another man. The disc, according to a Palestinian journalist in Gaza City, is being sold on the black market for NIS 20.

8. Promise not to kneecap/throw Abbas new cook off buildings
Alan ,   SA   (09.28.07)
9. Good. Peace = war with each other in another week or 2
(09.28.07)
10. #2
Nabulsi   (09.28.07)
i am sure that the palestinians would rather have what you call "backward" people in charge of ther national and internation affair than have the corruption and lawlessness of Fatah and its gangsters.
11. Never was a division
Hilda ,   US   (09.28.07)
I always said that it was their plan all along. They knrew tht Hamas was considered a terrorist group and therefore they had to separate in order to fool US and Israel's Chelmlike leaders into believing that Fatah wanted peace. Get the money andland from US and Israel and then unite in order to defeat Isrel and destroy it frm within. There is no difference between Hamas and Datah in their aim---only in their method.
12. united front against #1 enemy
Marcel ,   Florida   (09.28.07)
The deception created to lull Israel into a false hope of peace by way of terrorist Abbas and his Fatah begins to unravel. Fatah and Hamas are united in their primary battle to destroy Israel. They will even stop killing each other long enough to unite and attack Israel when the dar al Harb come against Israel for their final war. Only the niave see Fatah as a partner for peace with israel.
13. First ,Hamas will marry Fatah
Nora ,   Tel Aviv   (09.28.07)
Next, rockets will rain at Ben Gurion airport.
14. The PEACE PROCESS Explained
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.28.07)
In 1980 PLO Chairman Arafat stated: "Peace for us means the destruction of Israel . We are preparing for an all-out war, a war which will last for generations." The PLO Charter calls for the destruction of Israel. On the same day Oslo "Peace" Accords were signed in 1993, PLO leader, Arafat stated: "Since we cannot defeat Israel in war we do this in stages. We take any and every territory that we can of Palestine, and establish sovereignty there and we use it as a springboard to take more. When the time comes, we can get the Arab nations to join us for the final blow against Israel." PA schools, streets, and sports teams are named after suicide bombers. Palestinian Authority Muslims are taught murdering Jews is the highest goal in life and attains paradise: http://www.pmw.org.il/AFD.html
15. The Hammas is on his knees.
Daniel   (09.28.07)
thank you Olmert and Barak.
16. Hamas & Fatah making peace is bad news for Abbas
zionist forever   (09.30.07)
If Fatah and Hamas make up then it wont do Abbas any favours in the west. Right now most western leaders love Abbas because he is the face of the so called moderate, he wears a suit and doesnt shoot a gun in the air calling for Israels destruction he looks like a man the western leaders want to do business with. Hamas have taken over Gaza and established their own form of government so everybody is saying Abbas is not Hamas so we can isolate Hamas in Gaza and we cam do deals with Mr moderate Abbas. If Fatah & Hamas make up and Hamas is put back in government and keep the same old policies then it will be the same situation as it was before the split Abbas likes being the centre of western attention as the man they all want to know including Olmert and Bush who keep singing praises about him and want to do everything they can to strenghen his power against Hamas at the same tiime they condem Hamas for being a terrorist organistion. So Abbas is the love of the west as long as the split continues bring Hamas back into the picture the rules of the game change.
