1. Why negotiate?
Gershon ,   Kfar Saba, Israel   (05.14.08)
Mahmoud al-Zahar - "Now more than ever I tell you – we will never recognize Israel… We will form the Palestinian state on all of Palestine's territories and the sun of liberty will burn the Zionists. To them I say – you will lose. You will leave and we will keep hounding you. The blood of our slain sons will haunt you forever," he said. Is there any point negotiating with these people? The only language they will understand is total defeat, of the type which will leave Gaza a smouldering ruin with nothing standing over 10cm high. Then, and only then, it maight be worth sitting down to negotiate peace. In the meantime, they want a "period of calm" solely to re-arm and re-organize. We should tell them that the only way they will get this is if there is an immediate absolute cessation of all rocket and mortar fire from Gaza to Israel and if Galid Shalit is released. They should be told that these are the conditions for the calm and they are not negotiable.
2. Blah,blah,blah. What ever...
BB ,   Israel   (05.14.08)
3. This is ANOTHER typical YNetnews Story
hymie zoltsveis ,   NYC, NY, USA   (05.14.08)
Why is it that you guys take such a liberal, moral equivalence tack, about reporting on our enemies? Is your liberalism MORE IMPORTANT than your Judaism or nationalism? YNET-----Liberalism is NOT a religion---no matter what you believe---and it certainly is NOT the equivalent to Judaism. In fact, Judaism is a very conservative and specific religion. In the future, try to give our vile enemies the LACK OF RESPECT that they deserve. there is NO moral quivalence to IMMORAL people.
4. too bad hamas can't fight well
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (05.14.08)
what was the casualty rate for palestinians in the last encounter in march? over 100. israel's casualties? 3 or 4. yes zahar, you are doing so well. your victory is imminent, you blowhard.
5. They HAVE to give the Palestinians something I guess
Israel   (05.14.08)
And as ISRAEL has cut down fuel supplies to Gaza, they are going on the assumption that they are cut off from the outside world and don't know what's going on - therefore, they feel it's OK to tell them a crock of crap. They've got nothing to compare the brainwashing with.
6. Hamas has some big problems on its head...
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (05.14.08)
... and as a result it resorts to the last weapon of any tyrant regime: promising unattainable goals, diverting attention from itself towards somebody else and making a circus to please the debilitated crowds. Meanwhile its terrorist gangs prevent the Palestinian folk the option of getting supplies and work from Israel, by attacking the Israel-Gaza border crossings every time they open, and intimidating the Palestinians who seek work in Israel. Hamas also bombs Israeli towns inside the Internationally recognized Israeli borders thus drawing Israeli reprisal fire into Gaza which although targets and 90% of the time also succeeds in eliminating terrorist cells, it unquestionably puts a stress on the Gazans who do not take active part in terror activities. In short, Hamas has not been delivering on ANY front: it has failed economically, politically, militarily and administratively and it is still dragging its people lower into desperation and misery while drugging them with impossible and megalomaniacal dreams. Israel will NOT disappear. Muslims will not rape our lands again and barbarism, cruelty and racism will not prevail. Hamas underestimates the resolve of the Jewish people to never be transferred from its lands ever again. This mistake will cost it and its leaders dearly.
7. What Al-Zahar needs is a cross-hair in a bull's eye
NT Atilla ,   Tel Aviv   (05.14.08)
8. #5 - The only thing Israel should give them is exit visas
Squalid Ibn Harman ,   Qtir   (05.14.08)
9. left hand says ceacefire right hand says destroy Israel
zIONIST FOREVER   (05.14.08)
he talks about negotiating a ceacefire but in the same speech he tallks about how they are going to be replacing Israel with a palestian state. He is basicly saying the IDF who we can defeat has got us on the run but if we have a ceacefire now we can rearm and rapair all the damage the zionists have done to us so then when we strike back we will be stronger than ever. This is exactly the reason why we cant rush into creating a palestian state to satisfy the egos of the like of Olmert, Livni and Bush give them their legacies. At this time any palestian state would only strenghen them as we we would rely on palestians for a large part of our security .. I hope nobody is planning on visiting Israel after we create this state because Ben Gurion airport will be in range of terrorist rockets. Airport securtity will make suresecurity will make sure no terrorists get on board to hijack the plane or crash it into tower blocks when it comes to take off or landing but airport security isnt going to help you much when you have terrorists firing rockets from the palestian state. Once they have 2 states the third intefada will start with the goal of creating a single state and Palywood, URWA, extreme left and the islamic world will dream up a great reason to make the rest of the world agree that now is the time to start working to force Israel to accept a single state. Israel doesnt know the meaning of fighting propoganda so it would be a war lost before it began so we must make sure the palestians are never put into a strong enough sitiuation
10. Shalit
Ezer   (05.14.08)
Completely agree with Gilad Shalit's father. No deal without Gilad's freedom.
11. Is Israel winning the war against Hamas ?
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (05.14.08)
There should be no truce with Hamas and the pressure should remain heavy. The actual situation is in favor of Israel. The only possibility to the inhabitant of Gaza should be the free choice to emigrat to other Arab countries (most of these countries are not very populated and can easily integrate them). The time has come for these people to stop with politics and terrorism and search for a solution for their families based on well-being and peace. Most of the inhabitans of Gaza hope for this solution as explained at : http://xrl.us/bjg97
12. Damage of Incompetence
Joseph Kaufman ,   formerly Jerusalem   (05.14.08)
These remarks underscore the folly and tragedy brought upon the people of Israel by the delusional Osloists and the incompetent present administration. It is no comfort that Barak, who handed Lebanon over to Hizbullah is now responsible for our defense. Look at how secure the people of Sderot are under his leadership. These idiots should be hounded out of power, and people unafraid to unleash the IDF should be allowed to do their job, American will not withstanding. If our deterrence is lost, our cause is lost. Woe unto Israel that has such fools, weaklings, and political opportunists at the helm. Oust these bums now.
13. Al Zahar and Nazinedjad have similar intelligence...
Hiram ,   Zelazowa-Wola   (05.14.08)
...they do not perceive the reality of the situation....Islamists rather focus on hating Jews in general and Israelis in particular while their own people ( in Iran like in gaza ) live under poverty level, are under-educated, under developed , and do not even represent what is called today an " emerging" nation. They will "emerge" when they will understand what democracy is about...which amount to say that their emergence is not for tomorrow, especially with leaders such as the intellectually deranged Islamist Al Zahar , contributing daily , through is distorsion of political reality , to the increase anti-Islamic feelings in the area
14. take out Zohar and capture top hamas leadership
alex   (05.14.08)
take them all hostage and trade them.
15. He doesn't get it, does he?
vered ,   israel   (05.14.08)
When did Israel ever feel supreme? Imagine what more we could do if we didn't have to spend so much money defending ourselves against these jealous good for nothings.
16.  Mahmoud al-Zahar is delusion - 2nd time Editor
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (05.14.08)
There are two reasons that he and the other Hamas thugs are still alive: Firstly, Israel does not kill civilians, behind whom they hide, deliberately and secondly the USA and the EU would go hysterical if Israel would the right thing which is destroy the hostile entity in Gaza with the same concern for human life that Hamas, the Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah and most of the Arab World have for Jewish lives. So who is making assumptions? One thing is certain. No Shalit - No "easing off" and no cease fire! I just hope that Olmert will for once listen to the people of Israel and not the others who call us their "friends" and condemn us over and over in the UN! It appears that YnetNews doesn't like direct or indirect criticism of the USA and other friends. A pity they they censor us!
17. Yes Albert Einstein is in the same opinion!!!
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (05.14.08)
18. Shomer! Shomer! Israel
(05.14.08)
we are the only nation in the world who has successfully defended itself against sorry assed guerilla fighters! You may have beat Russia but you still haven't even come near our heels!
19. I suppose when you are worthless cowards like Hamas
jj ,   orlando   (05.14.08)
you have to feel good about something, even if its fallacious
20. That a man with al-Zahar's face can call Jews 'apes'
Freethinker   (05.14.08)
is proof that God has a sense of humour! Yassin is indifferent to his virgins, all he does is sit and pine for his friend al-Zahar...
21. #20 LOL! Yassin & virgins beckon al-Zahar
Lina ,   USA   (05.15.08)
22. Gaza
John Holliday ,   Tombstone Az U.S.   (05.18.08)
Israel should not invade Gaza. Israel has the power to destroy Gaza without sending in troops. 1st cut off all supplies to Gaza (again) with no energy..the people will suffer. Hamas will not. When the rockets fly' then Israel will invoke the right to self defense...and launch an air offensive like Gaza has not ever seen. Israel should use all of it's weapons in its arsonel to destroy Gaza...destroy the infrastructure.. destroy Gaza city. civilians should not be spared in a surgical strike. when Hamas is severly attacked, to the point of destruction then and only then will they negotiate. But do not talk to them...bring them to their knees..then cut off their heads. Hamas must be destroyed completely. It's the only way Israel can survive. Hizbollah is a bit more difficult to destroy but they too can be and should be defeated....use the neutron bomb to destroy them. Blanket their strongholds. the system of defenses can not stand up to that weapon. If Iran or Syria try to come to their defense..then Israel will have the opportunity to Nuke them. then there will finally be peace in the middle east. now the question is does Israel have the will to use their power?
