1. didn´t Abbas wrote a book denying the Holocaust ?
(03.01.08)
2. Abbas writes anything and propounds and denys everything to.
ben shlomo ,   singapore   (03.01.08)
HIS CONVENIENCE, soon coming his own quran the Pal Pallywood version where he will incoperated the Hamas Charter : -) ~ Why ? Just to stay in power. IDF please shoot these Abbas and that Haniyeh, of course Khalid Marshaal. Especially Haniyeh, even my cat sissy dont like him !
3. No. 1
NYC Girl   (03.01.08)
Actually, it was his doctoral dissertation...although that certainly doesn't make it any less repugnant. The question is why Israel seems to have swept this issue under the rug. If they had any sense, they would make sure his Holocaust denial follows him everywhere he goes.
4. Abu Mazen is cashing in on mistranslation
Millie ,   Israel   (03.01.08)
What a POS! We go after his terrorists and he says it's worse than the Holocaust. This is so incredibly sick. The worst part is that the West and Israeli leaders insist on dealing with, defending or closing a blind eye to one whose goal is to carry out a real holocaust against the citizens of Israel.

7. ="When Palistinians die it's worse than when Jews die"?

What's Abbas trying to say here?
8. Our “partner in peace.”
Jean Van Daem ,   Metula   (03.01.08)
Mahmoud Abbas - Israel's partner in peace talks and the head of Fatah and the Palestinian Authority - enjoys a reputation as a "moderate," largely in light of his juxtaposition with the arch-terrorists of his rivals/allies in Hamas. However, he now says that terrorism and violence against Israel are actually the preferred approach, and certainly need not be ruled out in the future. "At present," Abbas told the Jordanian newspaper A-Doustour, "I am against an armed struggle against Israel because we can't do it, but in the coming stages, things may change. I do not rule out a return to the way of armed struggle against Israel," Abbas said in the Wednesday night interview. Lets face reality : Their goal is Israel’s destruction and that is why nothing has worked and nothing will work as to the roots of Palestinian nationalism it is explained at : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2008/02/communist-roots-of-palestinian_342.html
9. Mahmoud Are You Paying Attention?
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville, USA   (03.01.08)
Abbas calls on the world to help. Get over it Mahmoud. The Palestininas are a lost cause and the world knows it. Nobody gives a damn what happens to them so go sort out your own problems. You and your ilk know what you have to do.
10. Terminology - "pretext", and "excuse"
ZS ,   USA   (03.01.08)
Someone should point out often, and with great emphasis, that whenever Abbas (or whichever Arab or Muslim leader) condems the Palestinian rocket attacks, they should not say that it gives Israel a "pretext" or an "excuse" to respond militarily. When they say that, they make it sound like Israel WANTS the headache of having to fire on gaza...as if Israel is just looking for any reason to send in troops. What they SHOULD say is that the Palestinian rocket attacks create an OBLIGATION and RESPONSIBILITY for Israel to respond militarily. Whenever someone hears the them talking about the rockets giving Israel an "excuse", the correct terminology should be pointed out to them.
11. Abbas
charles ,   petach tikva   (03.01.08)
Is crying that Israeli attacks target innocent civilians . The quassams and other rockets fired at Israel only target military targets Mr Abbas ? The IDF's answer is disproportionate ? Be happy that the IDF acts with restraint .
12. more hate from the peace partners
(03.01.08)
Exiled Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal denounces Israeli attacks against civilians in Gaza, describes it as "the real holocaust." Mashaal was referring to an IDF strike which killed four children on Wednesday, saying "Wednesday's (incident) was the real Holocaust." (AP, Roee Nahmias)
13. We should keep in mind ....
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (03.01.08)
That while our brave soldiers of the IDF risk their lives for our security, our low-life politicians (I mean Olmert, since who could be lower?) will try to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory - in other words, they may attempt to use the IDF to conquer Gaza for Abbas. This gov't. has tied it's poltical future to this irrelevent loser, Abbas & the futile "peace process". And this in cooperation with our supposed allies, especially the US. Sadly, our politicians cannot be trusted to safeguard the national interest. No stunt is too low for them to attempt, no deception too disgusting. Such a manoeuver must be prevented - Gaza must not become a gift presented on a silver platter from Olmert to Abbas at the cost of Israeli lives.
14. when arabs die its holocaust...
(03.01.08)
when jews die its god's will...go figure
15. Pot calling kettle black
Hans ,   USA   (03.01.08)
"It is unthinkable that Israel's reaction to Palestinian rocket attacks - which we condemn - can be so terrible and frightening," Abbas said, adding that the attacks were targeting "innocent women, children and old people." Uhh.... and the rockets AREN'T??? Typical Palestinian hypocrisy. Swallow your medicine like a big boy and stop whining.
16. scarecrow Abas
yohanan   (03.01.08)
Abu Mazen is merely a scarecrow trying to survive with two-face policy - like any other corrupt politician.
17. Vilnai lost the ball, Abbas is playing it.
ditser ,   USA   (03.01.08)
18. Abbas says....
kutuzov ,   new york   (03.01.08)
"the attacks were targeting innocent women, children and old people." hmmm..... i wonder who the qassams are targeting in ashkelon and sderot?
19. Sort of ironic....
kutuzov ,   new york   (03.01.08)
the holocaust denier/revisionist Abbas now uses the term holocaust referring to palestinians. Arab leaders are truly a unique bunch....almost as pathetic as olmert and his crew.
20. To #1 and #8
Angry Joe   (03.01.08)
To #1: Yes it is true and even part of his work to get his doctorate. Remember this when you see when you read the DR. M. Abbas. To #8: Your article is interesting. However, the author missed the fact that Peres himself opposed the translation and publication of Abbas book in Israel. At that time, it was Oslo period, and this book could spoil the atmoshpere of peace ...
21. The solution to terror.
Jean Van Daem ,   Metula   (03.01.08)
Victory is the key word not peace, because peace is not an option in this part of the world, and because there is only one solution to terror : a military solution. You do not talk to terrorists, you fight and defeat them. Victory is needed to prove to the Muslims in general and the Arabs in particular that against their ethos of death stands the ethos of life, protected by the arms of democracies that are resolved to punish them where it hurts most as explained at : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2008/01/stop-them-with-clear-cut-victory-part-i.html
22. Abbas tell the world about your thesis that you wrote in
freedom ,   canada   (03.01.08)
university. Better yet grab some brains and fast. Would you put up with rocket attacks in the city that you live in for an extended period of time. I can definitely say you are not the person to unite the palestinian people and move them onto bigger and better things, most importantly peace.
23. The Holocaust, according to Abbass, the Holocaust expert,
Saul ,   Barcelona   (03.01.08)
must have consisted of German Nazis killing 32 Jews for incessantly launching rockets at German cities. This is the only way that Tzahal's actions in Gaza can be construed as being "worse than Holocaust".
24. ISLAMICS Make WAR Against CIVILIAN Populations
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (03.01.08)
They break international law! They use human shields. Hide behind women and children. They wage daily, religious war on Israel's infidels - firing a daily barrage of rockets on defenseless, terror-stricken Sderot citizens, and Ashkelon. They fire from within densely populated areas in a deliberate and shocking attempt to get PA Muslim civilians killed when IDF fire back in defense. When PA civilians are accidently killed by the IDF's defensive measures, Islamics scream to the whole world in protest. But the blood guilt is on the heads of the Muslim terrorists. 75% of PA Muslims support suicide bombings.

25. Sderot's SUFFERING: Non-Stop WAR on INNOCENTS
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (03.01.08)
PA/PLO/Hamas, et al, wage merciless non-stop war against Jews. US/EU delighted with the terrorist success of Gaza, desire to transform all Israel into an indefensible war zone-US/EU call their war against the Jews, the 'peace process'. Global jihad victims-desperate Sderot Jews and surrounding area residents, utterly unable to live normal lives, spend every day, every waking moment in continual fear and dread of daily rocket attacks: www.israelnationalnews.com 01/23/08 This is Sderot Reality by Noam Bedein "Over 250,000 Israelis now live under the threat of the Kassam missiles." ... Living through 200 rockets in the past few days.... Hearing the screeching siren - "Color Red" - every time a rocket is launched.... Running for cover in the 15 seconds left.... Hearing the whistle and, a few seconds later, an enormous explosion... Watching a five-year-old boy who was crying after he saw his mother blown away from the explosion of a Kassam that hit directly into his play room... Driving around Sderot with no seatbelt because the seconds spent unfastening it might cost me my life.... The fear of the siren going off and no shelter to run to... http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/7717 In the VIOLENT breaking of G-D's LAW: YOU SHALL NOT MURDER 75% of PA Muslims support the suicide bombing of Jewish innocents. Under intense US/international pressure, Israel gives war supplies and Jewish land to implacable, barbaric enemies committed to Israel's destruction, world conquest, and Jewish annihilation. The nations closed their borders to Jews frantic to escape the Holocaust. The nations were complicit in the murder of six million Jews. Via a global Islamic terror State in Israel reducing TINY Israel to indefensible Auschwitz borders-9 miles wide at mid-section - the nations are again complicit in the planned Second Holocaust of Jews. Israel, ignore the terror-enablers! Massive civil disobedience now for a new, patriotic government! Fight and defeat the enemies of Israel and the Free World!

26. Horror: ISLAMICS Deliberately Target Jewish Mothers & BABIES
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (03.01.08)
THOUSANDS of PA Muslims celebrate in the streets and pass out sweets when Muslim human bomb killers maim and murder Jewish innocents. www.worldnetdaily.com Deheisha, which is located near the city of Bethlehem, had a "very active" Palestinian terror apparatus in 1999, carrying out scores of deadly shootings against Israeli civilians that year. Two of the most deadly suicide bombings in 2002 also were planned from Deheisha, where the suicide bombers originated, said the security official. On one such bombing, in March of that year, 11 people were killed and over 50 injured, four critically when a Deheisha bomber detonated his explosives next to a group of Jewish women waiting with their baby carriages for their husbands to leave a nearby synagogue... http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=57341 75% of PA Muslims support the suicide bombing of Jewish innocents. It is impossible to have peace with a people whose raison d`etre is the mass murder of Jewish infidels.
27. peace talks with the terrorists
Phil ,   US   (03.01.08)
Are these Palestinians leaders hysterics, liars, or just plain stupid? Everything about their pronouncements is hyperbole. Everytime Israel fires back, they declare it a holocaust. They give phony statistics to a media that wants to make Israel look bad and are never challenged by mainstream journalists. Israel has left Gaza and yet they call it an occupation. Gaza has a border with Egypt and yet it is Israel's responsibility to care for Gaza. What is the sense of negotiating with such people if they can't even acknowledge reality?
28. Careful Abbas
Zeal ,   Zionist America   (03.01.08)
This is what Zionists hate the most.
29. The serpent Abbas shows his true colors again.
BJL ,   usa   (03.01.08)
Are you listening Rice? Are you listening Bush? Are you listening Olmert? The one you three love says it from the heart. He is not a shekel different than Haniyeh. Abbas is every bit as intent on destroying the Jews.
30. re: #3, NYC girl
Jameel @ The Muqata ,   The Shomron   (03.01.08)
In reference to your question, why Israel ignores Abbas's Holocaust denial, is because Fatah, and PA, and Abbas are Israeli's only "peace" partner. Therefore, for the sake of "peace", everything else gets swept under the rug: Holocaust Denial, ongoing terrorism (by PA policemen), sovereignty over Jerusalem, ongoing incitement by the PA in their schools, rocket attacks on Israeli civilians and children losing their legs. Nothing is too sacred to achieve a "peace agreement". Jameel muqata.blogspot.com
