Some of you probably ask why I go on about olmert so much. Well , as information comes to light, evidence proves olmert was a weakling, coward, non-fighter, lousy negotiator, failing absolutely in anything to do with security. Now he is rich so how did he become such a poor negotiater. He got rich through government legal services intitally and then through scams later, not in any honorable way according to my recollection. Abbas says he won't negotiate if you force him to accept Israel as a jewish state. So our olmert concedes, accepts some arabs to come into israel, 40,000 and then brags that he offered them so much. What a moron. You look at abbas and say Israel is a jewish state, sign here, OK, and if he doesn't, you throw him out of your office.What a shmuck! He must be prosecuted and spend time in jail for what he has done. Two state-shove it up your rear ends. Jordan and saudi arabia can be home to a palestine state.Abbas, olmert is gone and soon he will be punished.
34. Bravo Abbas, for not interfering in what is our democratic
beate ,   Holon   (04.27.09)
right of self-definition

DAVID AGAM ,   HERZLIA,ISRAEL   (04.27.09)
YOU ARE SICK !!, YOU NEED TO BE IN A MENTAL ASYLUM, WHAT WORDS !!, WHAT HATE, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND HAMAS? YOU ARE A DISGUSTING PERSON!!!! WHERE DO YOU LIVE???
36. Excellent!
Chaya ,   Bat Yam   (04.27.09)
Then things can continue as they have been.
37. Hey - You Lost The War, Buddy
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (04.27.09)
Mr. Abbas forgets that the Arabs initiated a war against Israel in 1967 and lost. The Arabs lost. That's it. It's that simple. They lost the war and they lost the rights for any land they "held" before 1967. The Arabs have no rights any longer. If you start a war, then you have to be prepared for the consequences of losing. ...and what Chutzpa of Mr. Abbas to dictate terms. He lost. We won. We dictate the terms.
38. Abbas is a terrorist
steven ,   New York   (04.27.09)
With that actions Abbas should know who hes dealing with, Israel should cut off the power in the West Bank Israel should punish Abbas, Fatah which Abbas belongs to is a Terrorist Group The Al Aqusa Martyders Bridgade is a Terrorist group Abbas political Party
39. Abbas the MODERATE
Lioness ,   Israel   (04.27.09)
Abbas the planner of the 1972 Olympic massacre, the moderate, says he does not recognize Israel as a Jewish State. Well Mr. Planner of the Olympic Massacre I dont recognize you as a human being.
40. Ahmad & Salim! (And Abbas of course!) LOL!
Ariel ,   Europe   (04.27.09)
41. Abbas wants peace? But can't recognize
Name ,   City & country   (04.27.09)
the Jewish state is Jewish?
42. what's theocracy?
ale ,   Italia   (04.27.09)
is important to be a democratic democracy. isn't correct to have catholic nations or muslims nations, is an error to build religious nations.... if i build a nations for roman-catholics in Italy, is difficult that i'm building commodities for others ... one time ,some one built a nation for white people in south africa.....this is history
43. He's a Very Useful Idiot.
Pioneer   (04.27.09)
I cannot thank him enough. Nothing delays another Hamsastan coming on line than the Arabs themselves. This Abbas man has a very long history of being involved in funding and organizing terror. He's no partner for peace and more important than any of these facts is that this is a clear message to Obama that his roll as Jesus has fallen flat well before opening night. Obama hasn't even begun to make a ripple in the middle east. He's so naive, they don't even shift on their feet in Arab capitals.
44. Abbas is not a Eunuch afterall !
Nour ,   Palestine   (04.27.09)
Finally some backbone. To the idiot #14 (JO) Palestine is and will never be a "Muslim" state. It shall be a state for all its citizens including Christians and Jews. Personally we couldn't care LESS what the Jews or any state for that matter labels us. This is the difference between the Palestinian nationalist agenda and the Zionist one. The latter borders on racism, exclusivity and a knee-jerk reaction to circumstances surrounding WW2 and holocaust. The Zionist mentality has an inferiority complex.
45. Abbas and his cohorts
Brod ,   USA   (04.27.09)
The reason why Abbas, his cohorts and fellow Islamist-Jihadists won't recognize Israel as a Jewish state is because they are still dreaming of usurping the whole of Israel from the Jews. Their ultimate goal is the destruction of Israel as clearly stated in their Charter, School Textbooks and Maps. It is time America and the EU stop being fooled and manipulated by the Islamist-Jihadists to do their dirty work on Israel. It is time the Leftists in Israel wake up. Israel must be resolute and strong in defending its liberated GOD-given, GOD-restored historic homeland from the wolves no matter how loud they howl.
46. What's There to Talk About.....
Bluto ,   Cincinnati, USA   (04.27.09)
.....when one side doesn't even acknowledge your existence? Let Obama, Clinton, and their ilk talk to the dictators, tyrants, marxists, and holocaust deniers. Am Yisrael Chai! Mazel Tov on your 61st and many more!
47. How disengaging you are tonight m'dear.
Gideon Reader   (04.27.09)
The Putz BooBoo Abass is "disengaging". May he have the same quality results that the kadimacrats had. Maybe Israel should seek national recognition by adopting the Gaza model and start concentrating morat and missile fire into the Mukata. Hmmm. Not a bad idea. D-U-C-K! Just kidding Boo.
48. He wont recognize the jewishness of Israel for one reason
Mahdi ,   Jeddah   (04.27.09)
he fears that Israelis would force all Arab citizens out of Israel if he officially recognized it as a Jewish state. This has nothing to do with opposing Israel's existence as a country. GOT IT?!
49. " ABBAS LAND"A MOSLEM STATE?...I DON"T ACCEPT IT EITHER !
Roland Seener ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (04.27.09)
50. Why isnt this terrorist, Abass, in jail?
freejay ,   Israel   (04.27.09)
Its a well known fact that he was one of the masterminds of the 1972 Munich Massacre, so why hasnt he been arrested or killed by Mossad? Who gave him amnesty????? It makes me sick to the stomach that no justice is served and that people still call this cold blooded murderous mumzah a moderate!
51. If it wasn't sad it would be funny.
Ram ,   London   (04.27.09)
When will self deceiving Jews understand there can be no peace with the Palestiniansnor for that matter with Islam? Only moslems can make peace with moslems otherwise they would be considered non-believers. How can the arab world afford to forego the excuse of the "dispossessed Palestinians", their Trojan Horse? How can Jews whose very existence is being threatened afford to act like the west's liberal loony left?
52.  ABBAS ..... COMING CLOSER TO THE ABBYSS
AVRUM ,   CANADA   (04.27.09)
WHO DOES THIS ABBYSS GANGSTER THINK HE IS. ABBYSS IS SHOWING HIS TRUE RASCIST COLORS AGAIN AND HE IS READING FROM HIS OWN RASCIST WRITINGS. HOW CAN ANYONE MAKE PEACE WITH SUCH VIOLENT, CRAZY, DELUSIONAL PEOPLE. TALK IS CHEAP, BUT HE IS REVEALING HIS TRUE BACK- STABBING NATURE, WHICH REVEALS WHAT TERRIBLE THINGS HE IS CAPABLE OF DOING. IF I HAD THIS ABBYSS AND HIS PEOPLE AS NEIGHBORS, I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO SLEEP AT NIGHT. THIS GUY WILL NEVER KEEP ANY PROMISES OR DEALS OR PEACE TREATIES. HE IS A DOWNRIGHT LIAR AND IF THE PALS FOLLOW HIM, THEN THEY DESRVE THIS KIND OF CRAZY, RASCIST ABBYSS AND WHATEVER THIS LYING RASCIST INFLICTS ON HIS OWN PAL-ARAB PEOPLE...
53. This is perfect!
Steven Rosenfeld ,   L.A. U.S.A.   (04.27.09)
This is perfect! Once again the stupidity of the Palestinian leadership is evidebt for all to see. Abbas gives Israel the opportunity it needs to rightly view the so called peace process as the sham it is and to stay away. I almost pity the Palestinians for the leaders they have. For over sixty years they have kept the reality of a State away from fruition. Abbas continues in this vein. There will be no Palestinian State in another sixty or six hundred years thanks to the blindness of Palestinian leaders. Thank you, Mr. Abbas!
54. He's right, Israel is not Jewish.
The 11th Man ,   London   (04.27.09)
Israel belongs to G-d.....but the Jewish people are His chosen tenants! Am Ysrael Chai!
55. what no mahmoooing about all the rightious boasting of the
Israelis' hard to ,   get off the hook   (04.27.09)
56. Abbas won't accept it? Fine.
The White Shadow   (04.27.09)
Perhaps Jordan will take him, although I think the bottom of the Jordan is a better place.
57. #48 - Mahdi, Just like Abbas wants all Jews to leave...
Joe ,   Ramat Gan   (04.27.09)
... the country he wants the West to create for him? Why are Arabs allowed to live anywhere between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River they want, but Jews are crammed into their little Mellah of a country? Isn't this apartheid- just like the apartheid that exists for Jews who want to visit Mecca or make pilgrimage at their Qibla in Jerusalem? Tell me, habibi, who is truly the occupier and who is truly the occupied?
58. #20, Jews were ethnically cleansed from 'Safad' in 1929
Jake   (04.27.09)
This was 19 years before the 'Nakba'.
59. #48 Mahdi, that's bullshit, got it?
Roman ,   Lod, Israel   (04.27.09)
Israel has seen itself a Jewish state since Day One - a national home for the Jewish people. Somehow, all the Muslim Arabs, Druze, Bedouin, and Christian Arabs stayed around for all these decades. Some of them have risen to the highest positions available in the state. Find me a Jew in Saudi Arabia with the same privileges. Hey, let me make it easier for you... Just find me a Jew. Abbas simply wants the Right of Return to swamp Israel with Palestinian refugees rather than handling them himself - that's one Palestinian Arab state called Palestine, and one Soon-to-be-Arab state called Israel that will be on the brink of civil war should a few million refugees (raised on hating the Evil Zionist Murderers) come over. That's the reality.
60. #42 Ale, you're making a straw-man argument.
Roman ,   Lod, Israel   (04.27.09)
Israel does not purport to be a Jewish theocracy - it is the national home of the Jewish people. I would have thought that a European who knows his history would have realized that being Jewish isn't about religion (or at least, not just about religion). So when Mahmoud Abbas refuses to recognize Israel as the Jewish state he is saying that Israel does have to not remain the national home of the Jewish people in the future, which goes counter to both the "Two States to Two Peoples" concept and the founding ideas behind both Israel today and future Palestine.
