Palestinian official on negotiations: It's now or never    Ali Waked
1. The Peace of Palestinian Lies
"The Israelis know that the Palestinian side fulfills its security commitments".Quote from a Palestinian negotiator speaking the lie that Israel seems to buy. They have yet to filfill one commitment and Israel continues this farce. You worngly assumed that the US would be a fair,unbiased friend to hold the Palestinians to the signed agreement's and you were wrong. How is it thetI srael has been snared by this false peace which is just a cover for exterminating Israel into parsed piece's to be dovoured before the final defeat ? Israel goes along because a treacherous ally says she must. Is there no one in ISRAEL who can stand up and end this false peace lie which will only bring much misery and destruction and no peace ?

2. Israel a slippery eel
Getting Israel to stick to any agreement will be impossible without strong US and EU pressure. As the US won't lift a finger, to avoid upsetting the Zionist Lobby, we will only have the EU to exert its influence; i.e. Brown, Sarkozy, Berlusconi and the rest of that crooked shower, which is the equivalent of saying we have nothing. The only hope for the future of Western Civilization is (rather paradoxically): Iran!!

3. failures
Olmert is the number 1 failure because in his heart he is a coward without a positive conviction of israel. Barak is a failed PM, listless, depressive who shoots his mouth off about what he intends to d. Israelis are sick of them both. Dichter is another coward of the first order.

4. WHAT ABOUT THE ROCKETS RICE?
DOESN'T THAT BOTHER YOU JUST A LITTLE BIT? RICE NOR BUSH HAVE DONE ANYTHING TO SECURE EITHER ISRAELS PEACE OR FUTURE. THEY ARE BOTH SAUDIS AGENTS. RICE AND BUSH CAN GO TO HELL.

6. Let's face it

8. rice visit
Someone must notify this woman that she is not invited to Israel as an official of america.Also advise her that the food on the stove is burning.That she does not want Israel to clean out the nest of terrorists (her loving friends)from gaza is known but the corrupt olmert has arrived at the end of his envelopes of dollars and the nation will do what is nessesary.

9. Can the Israelis accept a “Palestinian state” ?
70% of Moslems in the Palestinian Authority believe that suicide terrorist bombings against civilians can be often or sometimes justified. The sinister prospect of danger to millions of Jews will immediately spring into being if the plans to establish a ‘Palestinian state’ in Judea and Samaria are pursued. No one can reasonably expect the Israelis to accept a state on their border which would become a launching pad for terrorist activities and be a second terrorist base to Gaza

10. The one liner says it all
"They will DEMAND"! No commentary that the palis have yet to live up to even one iota of any agreement they have signed. They live by the jihad. And when their demonic lifestyle is confronted, they whine to the world and demand we supply the cheese. Only the TA leftists, meretz, the olmert/barak/livni gang, and jimmy carter believe them!

11. Jew Haters DECEIVE for Islam. Already an Arab Pal State
22 HUGE Arab countries cover over six million square miles, over ten percent of the land surface of earth! 56 Muslim countries! One tiny, global jihad embattled Jewish state-one tenth of one percent of the Middle East! There NEVER was an Arab country of Palestine. Jerusalem was NEVER the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in the Jewish Bible, not once in the Koran. Muslims already have an Arab Palestinian State! In 1922, Britain illegally gave 80% of Jewish Palestine to Muslims. The area became Jordan, giving Muslims an ARAB Palestinian State on JEWISH land. The new racist Arab country was ruthlessly cleansed of Jews.
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (06.09.08)
12. Thousands Jews Maimed& MURDERED for WICKED LIE of Occupation
The inalienable rights of Jews to the Biblical heartland must not be violated! No one is demanding Muslims surrender THEIR top religious areas of Mecca and Medina! In 1948, Egypt invaded Gaza, ethnically cleansing all Jews and in 1948, Jordan invaded Judea, Samaria and east Jerusalem, ethnically cleansing all Jews. In violent opposition to G-D, Muslim Jordan destroyed 58 synagogues in Jerusalem. The jihad is against the Holy One. When Israel won the Arab war of aggression in 1967, Jews returned to the areas of their ancestral homeland they had been ethnically cleansed from for 19 years. Anti-Israel propaganda DECEITFULLY calls Jews' legitimate return "occupation". Jewish ownership of the land, homes and buildings stolen from the Jews in the 1948 Islamic invasion must be restored! Jews have had a continuous presence in physical and spiritual homeland Israel for 4000 years.
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (06.09.08)
13. Jew-Haters Ignore Justice for One Million JEWISH REFUGEES
Around, and after 1948, one million Jews suffered violent RELIGIOUS Jew cleansing from Arab countries. Arab governments seized the land, farms, homes, hospitals, schools, businesses and bank accounts of the Jews. Most Jewish refugees fled to Israel where the religious terror war against Jews NEVER stops. Cruel Global war is waged to subjugate every nation under Islamic sharia law-it is unacceptable to Islamists for Jews to have self-rule in TINY Israel. The 1948 Jewish refugees and their descendants who make up about half of Israel's Jewish citizens MUST be compensated in land and finances! /

14. Now or Never? I say NEVER
There will NEVER be any genuine peace, with our fictitious Partners for Peace---the fictional "palestinians." The goal??? Slowly slice down Israel---like a salami---until it is no more, or is so weak that it will easily fall. The muslimes cannot defeat Israel militarily. They need to weaken Israel, by propaganda, villification, redefinition of words, and slowly slicing down Israel into small pieces. The cult of islam REFUSES to allow any other religions---especially in the Middle East. WHY are some foolish people in such a hurry? The palestinian arabs have NOT lived up to their PRIOR agreements. Israel HAS performed its agreements---even when the enemy has not. Israel comprises 1/100 of a percent of land mass, compared to muslim countries. WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT FOR THE FICTIONAL palestinain "people" to have a "homeland?" Why was Jordan (Transjordan) created? TO BE A "HOMELAND" for the palestinain arabs. The "West Bank" is a fiction. Golan was always part of Jewish Israel. Gaza was also a part. Judea and Samaria are also parts of Israel. TAKE ALL OF ISRAEL---IT WAS GIVEN TO US FOREVER FROM G-D. If anything---the arab nations should be giving JEWS that lands which they stole from Jews, back to the Jews. Even Medina---in Saudi Arabia---was stolen from Jews---expelled by mohammid. The expulsions and violence have continued as long as islam has existed. The way to peace with islam is the same way that you have "peace" with cockroaches----you get rid of them. When all muslims are expelled from Israel (or reduced to a minimal number) ---THEN---we will have peace. Spain expelled all muslims about 500 years ago. Sadly, the Jews were also caught up in that expulsion. Spain had peace for many years. Since muslims have been allowed back into Spain, Spain has had strife, war, and horrendous acts of terrorism. AGAIN---expel muslims from Israel. THAT is the only way to peace.

The Chanalau Phenomenon will not be given chance to slip in tube. She will not even know what has happened after the backpack boyfriend will be done with her.

16. Over 2000 missiles (quassams and khatushyas) since
January 2008. Israel must protect itself regardless of the "international community". They will have tgo enter Gaza at some point, so it may as well be now.

17. Inept gov't. being out-manoeuvered yet again.
This gov't.'s capacity for ineptitude has no limits. We are getting screwed by the incompetence of third-rate political hacks who only concentrate on their political advantage. Here is the situation. Hamas attacks non-stop, killing Israelis, terrorizing the Gaza border communities, continues to smuggle arms. We, like the idiots we are, talk about a ceasefire which is not in the county's interest & at the same time, threaten military action which never actually occurs. Abbas talks to Hamas - a policy which raises his popularity & is favoured by all our good friends in Egypt & Saudi Arabia. Now comes Ms Rice - undoubtably to pressure us for more concessions & no major military action in Gaza. It might disturb the "peace process" ...... No matter that Hamas continues to attack us almost daily. But Hamas isn't stupid (crazy perhaps, but not stupid) - they know that our idle threats to attack them actually put pressure on Abbas to negotiate with them & to be more flexible. And if Abbas eventually compromises enough & joins with Hamas, the pressure on us will be to continue the "peace process" regardless. Abbas will be the public face of Hamas, the "respectable" cover - behind which, Hamas will continue terrorism. But if we take counter-measures against Hamas, it will be perceived as an attack on "moderate" Mr Abbas. And don't doubt that Ms Rice will go along with it. This gov't. of Olmert/Livni/Barak is in total disarray. It is inept, incompetent, & preoccupied with it's own survival. Our national interests are being sacrificed for the short-term political interest of a bunch of corrupt party hacks.

20. G. W. Bush illegally occupies Mexican land.
Dr. Rice's family illegally occupies Creek Indian land. The injustice of these illegal occupations need to be addressed.

22. Israel Operation
As i sit by my window and look out, i see the PLO and Hummas doing it again. They firer rocket after rocket into Israel day and night with out a stop. Israel sends in one or two IAF jets or helicopters to maybe take out one or two rocket shooters and sights. And they send maybe some troops and tanks no more then five miles or less into the gaza. Well you know when people keep getting hit, there comes a time when they say thats enough. Hummas think that they can get away with out being hit back. They are acting like the NAZI did in world war two. We believe them and look where it got us. No more, if the IDF should mount an operation then the hummas them selves are to blame. As our saying NEVER AGAIN well alot of us mean it. So stop shooting your rockets and lets sit down and talk a real peace where we both mean it. guess what it will never happens so i guess i can dream on. GOD BLESS

23. These statements can't all be true
1 "it's now or never. The discussion on the major issues can no longer be postponed due to the interior crisis in Israel." 2 "We want discussions on the large issues, beyond the daily business – this is what we will demand of Rice" 3 Erekat also stated that contrary to Israel's claims, all of the core issues, including that of Jerusalem are currently on the negotiating table. If 1 and 2 are true then 3 is not true. Erekat graduated cum laude from liar's college.
