31. #23, I'm afraid you're being naive
Corey ,   Canada   (12.08.12)
Do you really think this is the first time Meshaal et. al. have come out with this garbage? It's all been said before, by many a Palestinian extremist, many times over many years. The left is completely tone deaf to this rhetoric. Always have been, always will be.
32. thanks for the PR
alsky ,   Toronto   (12.08.12)
the more they talk, the more friends Israel gets ! Keep talking !
33. Hamas
Standing Tall ,   USA/Canada   (12.08.12)
This again shows there is no peace with these fanatics. I hope you're listening this time, Ms. Clinton. There is no intention of allowing Israel to exist, even if they withdraw to the Auschwitz lines. War is their only intention.
34. To all leftist "peace lovers"
Maurice ,   Montreal   (12.08.12)
There you go! Can it be any clearer than that? This bunch of terrorists say clearly that every inch of Israel belongs to them, and that they will start putting together a strategy to "liberate Palestine". And you moron leftists blame Israel for not wanting peace? People like NY Times columnist Friedman should be ashamed of their stupid and blind positions!
35. Tribalism instinctual
Simeon   (12.08.12)
The Tribal instinct off Territorial ambition can never be even diminished look what happened t Czechosslavakia and what's happening in the Congo now.So Labor is correct in concentrating on the social gap and better conditions for the Arabs of Israel who want to live in peace with their neighbours.Gaza ought improve the enclaves quassam denied to the Jews in 1935 fleeing nazism the Jews only wanted escape a Egyptian Syrian Lebanese Jordanian Califate controlled by the Uk France the USA would have worked but now The Jews ought strengthen social cohesion and deterrent capacity into the next few centuries.perpetual War is the Reality with Lulls and Truces.
36. Respond accordingly
Anadelfos ,   Athens Greece   (12.08.12)
Since they proved to stick into their claims regarding Israel's extermination, you have to respond accordingly with equally harsh statements through the most official persons ( as PM or Lieberman). The other side has to understand that coexistence is not Israel's unique option.What hope for peace can emerge, when we hear speeches like the Mashaal's one?
37. No surprise
Haider ,   Gothenburg, Sweden   (12.08.12)
I donĀ“t think that that suprises anybody. It is not the right decision but what are the options. Why should he when the Jewish state steals the land from the Palestinians and gives it to lazy so called SETTLERS.
38. #22
Takaneilat ,   Eilat   (12.08.12)
I stand corrected. The city in Mohammad's dream has been interpreted by Muslim extremists as jerusalem. Maybe one day they will decide it was New York all this time after all.
39. #30 Maashal like Clooney?
Get Real ,   UK   (12.08.12)
If he were he would be more successsful than he is in his present job.But only problem would be whether he is capable of learning any new lines.
40. 38 Jerusalem
Mickey ,   Sydney, Australia   (12.08.12)
Mohammed's dream spoke of alas, which means, the furthest mosque, not any city. This has been interpreted as meaning the el Alsace mosque in Jerusalem even though it was built some centuries after he death of Mohammed
41. Excellent speech
mb   (12.08.12)
Now it's absolutely 100% clear that Hamas' goal is to destroy Israel, and that no cease fire will ever be permanent as long as they're in power. I wonder how emboldened they'll be once Morsi is out of power.
42. North and South and from the River to the Sea
Rhonda ,   Chicago, USA   (12.08.12)
I think this is a wonderful story and I thank YNet for publishing it. The more we can capture them articulating their true motives the more defense we have against their propaganda that peace is all they want and Israel is the obstacle to it. To all of you in Israel, I want you to know that many of us are reading this, we are paying attention and there are plenty of us standing with you.
43. So...?
Gabe ,   Canada   (12.08.12)
What is the Government negotiating about in Egypt ? Has somebody lost his marbles at the top ?
44. Two words....
Sam ,   Texas   (12.08.12)
Psalm 83
45. Peace? A continuation of #7's post
Jasmin Amrani ,   Haifa   (12.08.12)
and since they famously maintain "We love death more than the Jews love life," I don't see that happening in the near future!
46. Israeli drones on strike today??
Joe   (12.08.12)
47. Murder is their single profile.
Vardina   (12.08.12)
48. Look EU! Look US! Look what your handouts buy!
A ,   Belgium   (12.08.12)
The "domestic pride", the M75 rocket. Build with everything the arab mind has to offer (murder), and with a range of possibly 70 km, this rocket is being built, with gracious funding by the EU, US and other foolish nations, for the sole purpose of killing innocent Israeli civilians. Now, if any talkbacker (usually American) would like to complain about what his tax money is being used for, you might want to think about that "proudly built in gaza instead of building a hospital or school" investment of yours.
49. To: #37
Bigizz ,   USA / Israel   (12.08.12)
I want to bring a piece of history to you. Palistine was a name of an area... Palistine was Rulled by The Romans, the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) which was in the Britich Mandate. The Brithish gave the Mandate to the UN, which voted to give the Jews a Jewish State. Before the Vote took place the UN wanted to make an Arab state and a Jewish State. The Arabs REJECTED the two State Solution. Israel was voted by the WORLD as a Jewish Independent State. After the Vote took place Israel was ATTACKED by Jodan and Egypt 1949. Israel won the war and annexed the West Bank owned by JORDAN not Pailistinians. Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, and Jordan only became States between 1920 and 1930. West Bank were JORDANIANS not Palistinians.. In 1967 the 6 day war the surrounding Arab countries, Syria, Jordan & Egypt atttacked Israel from all sides to Eliminate Israel. Israel was victoriuos in the war and pushed the enemy back on muliple fronts, and annexed more land. Do you think the Vikings whould retun land to attackers who attacket them?? Return land that is Stratigic to secure the future of your own country?? Return land to who? The Arabs never had a State or Organization. The PLO was originated by the Arab League. Nothing else. They were never a people as they never had a goverment nor president nor elections. Abbas was to be president for four years, today he has been president for six years, and knowbody knows when they will have an election? The word "Occuppied" and "Settelements." are not used in the right context mixing it with International Law. Jordan lost the West Bank in the 6 day war. The people of the West Bank all had Jordanian citizenship... The Land was never a Palistinaina State owned Land. Skul Tam Fan. Bigizz
50. To Mashaal and Haniyeh: NOBODY CARES WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY!
David ,   Hartford USA   (12.09.12)
Israel and the world knows you for murderers you are. Prance around in front of your pathetic supporters in an attempt to make them believe they are importnant. They aren't. You aren't. You lead a failed organization that only survives through terror and intimidation. Gaza has never amounted to anything and never will. Too bad the average Gazan is too stupid to see how bad off they are, all due to Hamas and the idiots who lead it. Who's the bigger idiot? The idiot leaders or the followers of those idiots?? Hamas has brought nothing to Gaza except death and corruption, That's real leadership.
51. Gaza City Kehilloh?
Danny ,   London England   (12.09.12)
It's a little known fact that there was an ancient Jewish community in Gaza city that was destroyed by the Arabs in the 1920's. The Jewish 'occupation' of Gaza didn't start with Kush Katif.
52. Introducing the all singing all dancing one man DISASTER
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (12.09.12)
For Gaza More than a Disasater. But shameless, disgraceful, arrogant and two faced Yes the one and only Pretty Boy back to Gaza for the great homecoming Not enoughn thst after $3bn of destruction to Gaza after LAST WEEKS Hamas adventure with Israel this HERO now wants Gazans to CONTINUE to sacrifice lives and property for GENERATIONS TO COME while he galavants all over the world, gets richer and fatter Not to find a way to stop the blockade and the destruction and make things better for Gazans but to glorify in the destruction of Jews and Israel and the matryrdom of innocent Gazan families who are bewildered and betrayed
53. HAMAS AND ISRAEL.
SJOERD VAN DER VELDE ,   HOORN NH, HOLLAND   (12.09.12)
IF HAMAS DOES NOT WANT TO RECOGNIZE ISRAEL AND ONLY WANTS VIOLENCE AND WAR, THEY WILL HAVE TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF THAT NO MATTER WHAT.
