So we have to recognize their country but they don't have to recognize ours?

how long will it be before you recognize the state of israel? israel can easily wait until then... in the meantime BUILD ISRAEL BUILD! ISRAEL - MAZEL TOV AND KOL HAKOVOD ON YOUR 63rd YEAR!

He's kidding, right? What "additional cards" does he have to add that Israel cannot neutralize even before they are added to the deck? Sounds like a threat to me; terrorist threats against a sovereign state get neutralized (just as the United States has been doing against Al Qaeda). No one argues the right of a sovereign state to defend itself against terrorist threat by taking steps to eliminate that threat. Perhaps it is time to unleash Cast Lead II; it will serve superbly as a little lesson both to Hamas and Fatah and -- more importantly -- a message to Egypt not to get too stupid.

The Palestinians are playing with Israel the way a cat plays with a squirrel.

then you my friend are Threatening The Nation Of Israel? I would think YOU ARE In NO Postion to give Ultimatum's? Just Wondering?

Yup, we're a shakin in our boots.

We all know that "Mashaal " means attacks on Israeli citizens. It's time for NGOs to wake up and smell the coffee. Show us that you truly support universal human rights by filing papers to charge Mashaal and Hamas with war crimes. Afterall, firing thousands of rockets at Israeli citizens is indeed a war crime. Amnesty Intl says so, HRW says so....even Goldstone says so.

fair? DECITE, don't Forget it Boychick. What do you think? Just Wondering?

The more things change, the more they stay the same..They don't even have a state yet, but chamas is having the power and alliance over other terror groups and already is giving Israel an ultimatum and new threats of distruction...Could this have been prevented ? Oh, YES ! When will we learn something ? An official terror state bordering Israel, we thought we'll never allow to have next to Israel, but here it is..With one and only objective from the very start-full destruction of Israel...Great job Ehud Barak and Bibi ! Hope the Israeli liberals are happy now ? We'll wait with hope for Israel's reply for Mashaa'ls request of recogntion...

Mr Mashaal, if your one year deadline doesn't materialise, do the additional cards includes an incentive for your glorious warriors --- Instead of the standard mandatory 72 whores, would 100 suffice?, 125? Please clarify. The world is anxious.

This situation is going to escalate quickly. I'm afraid for Israel. Israel should NEVER give in to the bastards, those terrorists. And when provoked or attacked, I hope Israel pummels Hamas back to the Stone Age,and hits them harder and longer than this evil filth could ever imagine. Israel must live forever.

does not understand that Israel already recognizes the mythical land of "palestine" for what it really is; a haven for self-pitying morons, losers, loudmouths, beggers, liars and third-rate thugs with a deranged sense of entitlement. If I was an arab, I would be embarrassed by him.

Mashaal -you have a year to remove the clause from the hamas charter that requires the elimination of Israel and sue For real peace NOT HUDNA

Yes, we can! Obama said so by taking Osama Bin Laden out! Time to teach Hamas and the others who want to destroy Israel and the Jewish people a lesson that they will never forget and if "innocent" people get hurt, well, that's collateral damage. The Brits and the Americans in Iraq, Nato in Afghanistan and now in Libya have set the precedent. The only differences between us and the "Allies" is that their countries are not under daily terror attacks and we don't appease the Muslims! Mashaal should realize that if they blow up buses we will blow up towns! They may have suicide bombers but we have F16', F15's, Apaches and 155 mm guns!

hunting that trash down in the streets of Gaza when you were at the gate some time back.

Yosimite Sam. I can his stomping his feet and fists balled, smoke pouring out of his ears. What a sorry cartoon character he is. worse he is the face of Hamas. that is when it is not covered by filthy flea filled balaclava, or distorted by uncrollable rage. This sheep shagging troop needs and is begging for a premium number #10 tin of Whuppas, to be opened in his "honor" There is a definite NEED to kick this fools butt for once and fo all.

Ahhh. Solid point. I did not consider that. Inflation is everywhere.

Hey,heeyy,hhheeeeyyyy mashaal.do you think we are stupid.or something else?

Let me get this straight. Let's talk peace with the Palestinians - but not with Hamas - while we move Iranian weapons to the West Bank and continue to call for the destruction of Israel and we'll give you a year to recognize our legitimacy. Mashhal may be used to dealing with the unwashed masses in Gaza who believes this garbage but I know of nobody - unless they have a single-digit IQ - who buys into any of this nonsense.

The real "Occupation" is the enslavement of Arabs by dictators and terrorist groups including Hamas, Fatah and Hezbollah. So far the International Community has not been able to disarm the terrorist gangs.

They are accumulating weapons in gaza.one year is enough for them to recieve iranian anti ship missiles and kornet missiles and grad or even shahab.attack hamas terrorist in gaza.conquer rafah with all power.and dis connect rafah with gaza.that's a strategic necessity for israel.

One thing this little statement has proven is we cannot afford to give up strategic territory. I can just see it now, we don't recognize this state within a year so they shoot down a plane taking off at Ben Gurion from within their state. If this new found friendship with Fatah lasts, which I doubt it will for long after their November election but if it does and they coordinate attacks with Fatah then they are all legitimate targets and we will smash that state. I would like to know what Mashal's position on right of return is. In the past its been non negotiable we must agree to a right of return or all deals are off. He is talking here about a state within the 1967 borders with Jerusalem but he strangely forgets to mention his new position on right of return. The man is a waste of space like all his buddies.

Why wait a year, scumbag? Your mouth is bigger than you brain. Why hide in Syria while sending your people to blow themselves up? come to Gaza and let's see if are still such a hero. Israel has already recognized the "Palestinian" state of Jordan so shut up and crawl back to the hole in the ground where you came from.
