1. This Is The Democratically Elected Voice of the Palestinians
M. Duvduvani ,   Yokneam, Israel   (05.02.11)
Remember.....Hamas won nearly 70% of the Palestinian vote in 2007. Hamas represents the true feelings, sentiments and political views of the majority of Palestinians. Al Qaida=Hamas=Palestinians. That Hamas condemns the killing of Bin Laden, speaks volumes of the Palestinians true nature.
2. Haniyeh, you can run too but you can't hide!
David ,   Raanana, Israel   (05.02.11)
3. I'm getting the hang of this handing out sweets tradition!
Talula ,   Israel   (05.02.11)
Ding Dong the evil bastard is dead!
4. #1 - you know who/where these Palestinians are...
seadog1946 ,   ArthurKill, NJ   (05.02.11)
so, re-educate them.
5. Holy warrior? More like a murdering bastard
Avi ,   Israel   (05.02.11)
"We regard this as a continuation of the American policy based on oppression and the shedding of Muslim and Arab blood," Ismail Haniyeh" Did anyone tell him how many muslims were killed in 9/11 or did that little minor detail go a stray ?
6. killing bin laden was a mitzvah
David ,   Haifa, Israel   (05.02.11)
killing haniyeh will be one as well
7. Was i really Bin Laden ?
bruno ,   Portugal   (05.02.11)
We are told Bin Laden was killed, then his body trown in the sea, and they are not even sure it was him... Something is missing here or is Obama looking for the needed votes to keep him in the White House ?
8. What Will Leftists Say About Haniyeh Now?
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (05.02.11)
After all, he's the "moderate" voice of Hamas.
9. Deception and the forces of evil
sk ,   USA   (05.02.11)
The forces of evil have lost a-g-a-i-n. Evil will DECEIVE but the bitter end is ALWAYS defeat. History repeatedly confirms this. It's the age old struggle of good vs. evil. God rules! Long live the USA!
10. "oppression and the shedding of Muslim and Arab blood" WHAT?
Talula ,   Israel   (05.02.11)
Clearly Hamas have no TVs or outside connection to the world, mabe they do and are just ignoring the rising number of dead Arabs killed in Syria by their own people. Once again, it seems it's OK for an Arab to slaughter an Arab, just because he wants to live as a free man - but kill a blood thirsty skunk of a terrorist and things are different. Just shows their face and what we have to deal with. I wish the same fate on all Hamas skunks.
11. Why mourn Bin Laden now? It's already after the Shiva
Chaim   (05.02.11)
The US killed him at least a week ago, perhaps even a month ago. It was only disclosed to the public after the DNA was confirmed that it was indeed his and not one of those who masqueraded like him.
12. News for Al-Aryan: What harms Islamic States is Islam
Marco ,   Spain   (05.02.11)
For the Muslim world time is not on its side. The Salafi jihadists are gaining strength in Egypt, Syria, Iran, Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, Sudan, Iraq, F. Arbia, Yemen, Algeria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Somalia and among the Fakestininans, and warn that an apocalyptic Armageddon between the Muslim world and the West is approaching. Whether moderate Muslim intellectuals and Western-educated Muslim technocrats will be able to bring on an Islamic Renaissance before rising radical Islam draws them all into an unwinnable nuclear confrontation remains to be seen. Their success in doing so is by no means assured.
13. Do not give these clown 1 more inch of land
Rachel ,   US   (05.02.11)
The government needs to make it's case to the EU and US. Giving up land to these murderous thugs would be suicidal for Israel.
14. Oh my gosh!
Salma ,   Palestine   (05.02.11)
What Kind Of Idiot Are You, Hamas ?!
15. olmert's caution
moshon   (05.02.11)
You have tens of bin ladens in gaza in the form of the brotherhood nazis haniyeh, zohar and musri. They mourn bin laden's death. This is who you want recognition from??!! Cutting a deal with nazis?? get rid of him. Take his sisters in from questionning and work from there. Otherwise you are a bunch of pathetic cowardly olmerts.
16. my comment
Karthik ,   India   (05.02.11)
how come a coward is called holy warrior of Arab. he was hiding like a animal in a cave. I can also act like a Bin laden if muslims gave me money and hiding place. Just a giving a biscuit to the barking dog. I suggest to burray him in the Ground zero area.
17. No. 7 Bruno
NYC Girl   (05.02.11)
Actually, they do know it was him. In fact, the reason the announcement of his death wasn't made until last night, even though he was killed more than a week ago, was because they were gathering DNA evidence from some of his family members in order to confirm his identity.
18. Let us hope Obama and the EU realize now the nature of
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (05.02.11)
the Hamas-Fatah coalition!!! And if they don't, this will be akin to the ultimate cynicism: Refusing to support financially al-Qaeda and killing its heads, but expecting the Jews to support the Hamas-Fatah coalition and refrain from protecting the Jewish citizens of Israel by allowing for this coalition to sustain itself. And this, on jom ha-shoah (Yom Hashoah / Holocaust Day)... Never Again!!
19. It seems that Obama is giving Osama a honor burial
David ,   On this planet   (05.02.11)
Senior officials say al-Qaeda leader killed in firefight at his fortified compound in Pakistan, remains being handled according to Islam. Who cares , the savage was a monster
20. Hamas mourns bin Laden's death
Roger ,   Gld Canyon, Arizona   (05.02.11)
Osama, how are those virgins treatin ya?
21. HAMAS LEADER MOURNS
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (05.02.11)
Trust me he is NOT with G-d, as stated by the NY Daily newspaper headline, front page, said it best "ROT IN HELL", that's where cold blooded murderer's go, not heaven. That's the problem with Hamas and groups like them, they have it backwards and teach their children this sick philosophy. Evil is punished, it's NOT "resistance" it's terrorism and premeditated murder. The failure of Hamas to grasp that is huge. The belief that anything goes as long as you call it "resistance" needs to sent to the trash-bin of history. This statement also proves the Palestinians and their government is not ready to abide by International Laws, therefore cannot legally be granted a country. That is the International Law.
22. US message to Israel
Marcel ,   Florida   (05.02.11)
The elimination of Osama who killed so many American's is a signal to Israel to target Gaza Hamas terrorist leader Haneyiah and his top commanders and other murderers of Jews including US. trained Fatah heads. It is clear that the U.S. has been restraining Israel from defeating another Arab army as happened with Hizbollah in 2006 and Hamas in 2009. Israel has had too much success in the past defeating 1 Arab army after another and U.S policy is to repair the shame and damaged self esteem of the Arab losers. Although Israel is always restrained and hamstrung by her dubious ally to protect Hamas and Hizbollah the clear message is : 'Do as we do and not as we say.' Israel must not permit itself to be restrained in this war for it's survival.
23. Hamas, How stupid of u! USA has noted ur reaction! u r NEXT!
USA watchers   (05.02.11)
24. Send Hanayeh to Bin Ladin for consultations
Ilan ,   Ariel   (05.02.11)
Two bad eggs in one basket, with room for Nasrallah and Mashal while putting out the trash.
25. Haniyeh the next target!!
Shai Moyal   (05.02.11)
26. haniyeh
marv   (05.02.11)
ishamael haniyeh ha s3 sisters living in israel. He mourns bin laden. He needs a bullet in his head along with zohar and musri and all their significant enablers. Stop begging and acting like beilins and ben amis. Eliminate iran's filth in gaza and do it fast, less talk more action is needed. And you know haniyeh's address. get him and enough with this bs.
27. with a pig
real vision ,   usa   (05.02.11)
should have been buried with a pig...but that would have been most insulting to the pig
28. "Hamas mourns Bin Laden's death"
William ,   Israel   (05.02.11)
Of course you do. That speaks volumes, in the name of the "Palestinians".
29. So haniyeh Mourns The Worlds #1 Wanted Terrorists
Wondering   (05.02.11)
So who gonna mourn haniyeh and the rest of those cowards called hamas, hizbullah. Just wondering? This is a good objectives which will serve the region well. However their is one pressing matter? iran is the figure head of INTERNATIONAL Illegal arms dealers to Terrorist orginazations. Once Some Brave entity with a clear conscience can CONFRONT these Demented, twisted and tortured souls that they are. The World will be a safer place.
30. #7 Bruno, Portugal
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (05.02.11)
They have DNA samples and photos, he's dead, dead, dead The USA wouldn't take a chance on declaring him diead if there was any chance he was still alive Bin Ladin's death won't keep Obama in the White House, the price of gasoline & high uenmployment is sure to keep him from a second term Bin Ladins' death is transitional, high gas prices and other problems see to be here to stay and get worse
