well,Israel could buy wt ever it wants its doesnt makes any sense in fact Time is not important for Hamas No one can represent Hamas to talk about with the international community even Palestinian National Authority President Hamas has said: It is impossible to return to the previous situation and any unequivocal cease-fire must ensure 1Open the crossings and th2 lifting of the blockade And Turkey knows very well the demands of Hamas

Eliminate it.

France has a very bad history with Israel. After gunboat deals that resulted in "boatnapping", Mirage deals that were reneged on and a total sellout by Britain, France and the the USA (oops not politically correct but true) in 2006 how can we trust others with our security? At least President Bush has seen the danger that Hamas poses. The others haven't. President Sarkozy should be called on, as should Tony Blair, to explain why Hezbollah, Hamas' principal arms supplier, was not disarmed in terms of Resolution 1701 and why France failed to get Gilad Shalit, a French citizen, released and why it took so long to get Udi and Eldad, may they rest in peace, back from being hostages of Hezbollah? No President Sarkozy, you too will cave in to Muslim pressure in France and thus you cannot be seen as an honest broker!

Israel - learn to ignore the resolutions and finish the job. Bring Gilad Shalit home now!

Palestinians will never raise the white flag .. the most you can get out of this is another Truce ... they will be not telling you the truth if you think that Abbas will sign a peace treaty after this .....Abbas will never sit in the same room with our kids Killer . he will never eat from the same dish ...or attend your son's wedding like a neighbor would do .. he won't Dare ....this is basic human behavior . will never sign a peace treaty with the one aiming at our mosques and hospitals . Make the wall higher please ...there no end for this ..

Or all the deaths in gaza,on both sides and this whole exercise will have been for nought.

We are going to destroy the Hamas. Period. If the Palestinians want to live in peace, then they know that have to compromise with us. If they don't, then we will give them more war.

Honour and I respect that ,I really do.I also feel the same,I mean the pride thing.But be careful with your use of the word "never" as in "Palestinians will never surrender" .The world is full of nations,some of them great ones,who said they would never surrender.Just know when to quit before your long suffering people suffer more.Japan has a culture of Never surrendering,today they are a peaceful nation.

Andy...Peace? what Peace u are Talking About Abass gave israelis more than any an arab leader have gave but wt israel it has gave to abbas?? More barriers More settlements all it was isreal has gave to abass it was _!_ i guess u get me

FADI SWEETHEART, WHY WOULDN"T PALESTINIANS SURRENDER? THEY HAVE DONE JUST THAT SO MANY TIMES IN THE PAST. IS THIS A NEW THING? I AM ASKING BECAUSE ISRAEL ALREADY CAPTURED 100 PRISONERS. ALWAYS BIG WITH THE TALK BUT YOU PEOPLE NEVER CHANGE. THERE YOU GO, I FOUND A BETTER USE FOR THE WORD "NEVER".

Israel has a rep at the UN for just these occasions. If Shalev isn't up to the task, send Gillerman back. But it's all a game anyway. Let them huff and puff, just make sure the US is with you to cast its veto. If you show up, you're just giving them credibility. Man, I wish someone had the guts to pull the plug on that Cesspool on the Hudson. Unfortunately, Obama just elevated the status of its UN Ambassador to Cabinet rank and chose Susan Rice - whose partial to international organizations - as his rep. Not a good sign.

This article should give the racists that inhabit this so-called news outlet a lot of joy...

Don't bother attending at all....

Turkish justice minister made inflammatory remarks against israel as being the biggest terrorist provacateur. I call on the constitutional court to censure him and remove erdogan from power. The future of ataturk's turkey is being destroyed by Erdogan. you have no chance of ever getting into europe and turkey is ruining its relations with allies. You are killing kurds-what is that? You want us to understand why you are doing that and yet you attack israel! I am not olmert. You are full of crap. No wonder Greece does not trust you. Erdogan, no matter his training is a slave to jihad and islamic deviation. He sits with murderers ahmadinejad who killed americans and syria who is one of the leading countries of terror. Erdogan needs to be prosecuted by the constitutional court right away. Karadic is turning out to be a prophet when he said that you all cannot be trusted and are intolerant.Serbia fought terror with terror and has been punished for it. Is something wrong here? Well, Turkey you can have your jihad. the next israeli government will be reviewing relations.

If the U.S. has the guts and the influence anymore, let us slow things down. Do all you can as quickly as you can. Don't back down. Hit them, and hit them, and hit them until they stop the rockets. Canada, the U.S. nor Mexico would tolerate another country sending 6,000 rockets into their country. Do what ever you have to do to stop them. I support you more than 100%.

Arab murderers should not be put on the same footing as Israeli victims.The UNO and the Security Concil members should know that there are never good excuses for murder : ignoring the murder is the equivalent of complicity. It is the duty of every State, not only Israel, to defend its citizens – Its absolute duty. Condemning Israel doesn’t bring solutions. Only a clear, fair and objective approach of the painful Israelo-Arab problem will have a chance to solve it as explained at : http://xrl.us/bi5c8

The UN is a Utopian Nightmare, an entity that none but the dimmest of people could support, a peerless, competitionless entity that has been empowered by the morons of the world. Anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of evolutionary theory knows that empowered peerless, competitionless entities are guaranteed to grow in grotesque and destructive ways - as the UN has done. Only a total retard would remain in such an organization, especially when the UN has made it perfectly clear that its mission is to destroy the state of Israel. Israel must leave the UN, and if Israel doesn't then they have no one to blame for the crap that the UN unloads on them. Enough with the battered-wife syndrome between Israel and the UN. The stupidity is unbearable at this point.

DEBKAfile reports 80 Hamas gunmen have been taken prisoner. I wager Abbas has as much love for Hamas as Israel does. Not too long ago Hamas was executing Fatah by pushing them off buildings and shooting them in the back. I don't see Israel asking for a peace treaty which Hamas clearly can't abide by. Plain and simple...anyone who supports Hamas, supports terror.

Why should "we buy time anywhere" least of all at the most anti Israel organization in existence. We should start saying "No, no no" regardless until the job is done. If Hmas remains in power this will be just a waste of (Israeli) life

livni should stay home. she is good for nothing. she is totally over-rated. we have an ambassador there- that's his or her job. if they feel the person there is not capable than replace him. livni helped get us into this mess - she should STAY HERE.

Most people by us think, you have the right to defend yourself. But Europe (and France especially) is full of Muslims. EU is politically and militarily impotent. Don't listen to coward EU politican! Long live Israel!

Let's say Hamas was stupid enough to accept this "US initiative, which is based on conditions set by Israel" and is publicized as Egypt's initiative (yea, right). It looses all means to attack Israel but Israel agrees to lift the blockade. OK. Then what? People in Gaza are still going to live like animals, in ghettos. But, let's say, they get some international aid and are no worth off than the Palestinians in the West Bank. But Fatah, in the West Bank, got absolutely nothing out of YEARS of negotiations with Israel. And they will not get anything simply because the right-wing Zionists insists on the "Greater Israel" concept. So, perhaps the correct step for Hamas would be to follow the example of the ancient Hebrews in Massada.

I am an American, not of Jewish descent. I support Israel in all that it does and I beg the government of Israel to completely ignore the pathetic resolutions of the UN and EU. If Hamas wants peace then they need to stop the missles. Period. Palestine allows Hamas and Hamas is a terrorist. They started this battle, please let Israel make damned sure they don't want to nor are able to do this again. Long Live Israel!
