1. A different perspective on the issue at hand:
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (12.09.12)
The head of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)'s Palestinian Authority, Mr. Mahmoud Abbas, to this moment - yes, I have followed the Arabic press as well - has refused to condemn the statements made by the head of Hamas, calling for Israel's demise. Mr. Abbas, by his silence, has followed his own example when he refused to condemn Hamas's on going intensified rocket attacks on the civilian population of Israel, only a short while ago. And, the same European states that voted for inclusion of the PLO as a non-member observer state at the UN in order, according to them, to help Mr. Abbas in his conflict with Hamas, have, so far remained silent as well when hearing these calls to wipe Israel off the face of earth and their Abbas accept the call by his silence. Can the world in which we live be more pathetic...??!!
2. they are gonna win again
danny ,   dan@yahoo.com   (12.09.12)
hamas for sure will win again in the presence of weak and foolish israeli leadership
3. Hypocrites - Israeli politicians
Butros ,   London, england   (12.09.12)
Meshaal has come back to gaza after 25 years. He's only electioneering. Meshaal knows 2 state solution is the only way. Unlike Israel and its politicians who are like synchronised robots programmed to say 2 state solution but in reality are stealing more and more Palestinian land and building settlements for the racist Jewish settlers. Also turning a blind eye to price tag incidents, shelter violence and buening down olive trees. 2 faced Israeli politicians. You can fool some of the people some of the time but u get caught out in the end.
4. There is no choice. Abbas and Mashaal
Rachel   (12.09.12)
belong to the same umbrella organisation PLO. Abbas uses Hamas, intifada and other means to reach their dream and plan - the destruction of Israel.
5. "deterrence has been restored" TOTAL BS
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (12.09.12)
6. Stop your dreams
Ahmed ,   Nablus   (12.09.12)
Netanyahu and his army will withdraw from the West Bank and your feet above your head ..This thing is certain.
7. Get out of our land
Ali ,   Gaza   (12.09.12)
You Jews only understand the language of force. And we will know how to deal with you in the future.
8. Leftists idiocy exposed again
Jane   (12.09.12)
Only Leftists would think otherwise and Hamas knows well how dumb the Israeli Leftists are including their leaders.
9. #3 "He's only electioneering."..I like yr sens of Humour LOL
Alan ,   SA   (12.09.12)
10. Rachel the synchronised robot
Butros ,   London, england   (12.09.12)
And the Israeli synchronised robot Rachel spouting of her written by the idf rebuttal again. You Are false as they come. You can't speak for yourself because you can't defend the theft of Palestinian land and illegal occupation. You deny Palestinians un application yet Israel exists by the actions of the un. You need to put some oil in your vocal cords as they sound disjointed. Now be a good girl and memorise your script you cheat.
11. #3 wrong
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (12.09.12)
You are wrong. Mashaal knows that there is only one solution, and it is not the "two state solution". Even if you are Christian, I assume you can read Arabic. From the Hamas Charter: 1. "Hamas programme is Islam" 5. "Allah is our goal, the prophet is our example, the Koran is our constitution" 6. "raise the banner of Allah over every piece of Israel" 7. "stones and trees" 11. "the land of Israel is Islamic Waqf"
12. #3
caleb ,   israel   (12.09.12)
First of all I think Israel should have assassinated Mashaal in Gaza in as much as he and his associates have denied the existence of the state of Israel and its right to exist in any borders. The will never be a divided Jerusalem because it will be absolute mayhem and you obviously are not familiar with the geography there. In as much as there is no normal Arabic country existing in our time due to the tribalistic mentality which is innate in them they will never get it together as history has shown. Aside from this the world does not give a s**t about Arabs as is seen from the slaughter happening in Syria and no one lifts a finger. On the other hand if one Arab meets his death in Israel the world is in an uproar. When Churchill took over in the '40's he stated the only way to get rid of the diabolical Nazi regime was to destroy it. IMO this holds true here vis a vis the neighbouring enemies. Jews lived under appalling conditions for over a millenium in Europe etc and you basically ousted us from Europe and now we have our own state and you still want to do away with us. The time now is 'endgame' and I hope the next time Gaza startes throwing things at Israel we 'Dresdenize' them! Only then thru violence which is the only thing they understand will they go into a prolonged hibernation.
13. butros #3
aaron ,   toronto,canada   (12.09.12)
Now butros if you can only go to your world map and point to where palestine is you'll see that israel is only building on it's own land.
14. #6 ahmed
aaron ,   toronto,canada   (12.09.12)
Now tell me again ahmed how is the sewer system in nablus,can't get out yet too bad.
15. ali in gaza(i mean sh*thole of the world)
aaron ,   toronto,canada   (12.09.12)
You people are like a spoiled kid,you get slapped every time you misbehave and you think that you won't get a bigger spanking the next time.Why don't you all just move to egypt and try to do something with yourselves.Don't you miss living well under israeli rule,I know you had it MUCH better then.
16. caleb
aaron ,   toronto,canada   (12.09.12)
Not only do I agree with you but I would take it one step further I wouldn't wait for the next time because you and I know it will surely come.
17. TO Ali no 7
Ivan   (12.09.12)
you Muslims dont understand any language......Salaam-Alaikum.....
18. Hams, Fatah, PA, PLO, Islamic Brotherhod . . .
emanon ,   USA   (12.09.12)
They are all the same organization under different names. There are lots of other names too, but they are all dedicated to one thing: trying to eliminate Israel. There is not one arab organization that is not trying to do that.
19. The difference in the meaning of the word PEACE
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (12.09.12)
Israelis want peace in order to live in coexistence with their neighbors, help these neighbors advance economically and culturally, and wipe out any thoughts re war, attack, killings. The Hamas and West Bank Arabs put up peace sign that for them means annihilation of Israeli Jews and the return of Israel to their sovereign power, only. It is high time for the international arena understands this. But let me take it a bit further. After the riddance of Israeli Jews, the Muslims/Islamists intend to start on the rest of the world.
20. PACIFICATION=BIG Israel / EMPTY Temple Mount / Arab TRANSFER
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (12.09.12)
21. #7
Rhonda ,   Chicago, USA   (12.09.12)
And with that mentality, in another 64 years you will still have what you have now...no state, millions of your people without work and no future. GIVE IT UP ALREADY. The Jews are here. The State if Israel is here. You are here too. Find a way to coexist in a two state format without your pipe dreams that you will annihilate all the Jews. Aren't you tired of it all? Don't you want your children to have fine schools like the Technion to attend in your state? Don't you want tourists eager to come to your country? I truly don't understand your mentality. When I read what you wrote all I think is that I've never seen or read of a group of people in such rabid pursuit of unhappiness, destruction and misery.
22. hamas heads need to be wiped out
gandjian   (12.09.12)
as peter says, you cannot kill an idea but with cancer, you have to wipe out the heads repeatedly and that starts with meshall and haniyeh. Wipe them out with all their advisors. Then go to the next level. Destroy hamas, the vermin that it is.
23. Netanyahu's own government has people who don't
Giora Me'ir ,   USA   (12.09.12)
want to give up one inch of "judea and samaria" and East Jerusalem. And Netanyahu, the lying hypocrite that he is, doesn't issue a peep. How is that any different? Peace will not be made between Hamas and the right-wing extremists. But between those in the middle dedicated to ending the conflict in a just fashion.
24. Well said Bibi ! Mashaal & Co. are no
(12.09.12)
more than common criminals and a bunch of terrorists bent on destroying Israel.
25. # 10
Birdi ,   Israel is ours.   (12.09.12)
I see the truth presses your buttons. You are the cheat, the liar & the fake. You want our land? you have to kill each & everyone of us before you lay your grubby hands on Israel. Now be a good boy & memorize the above.
26. #7 incorrect Ali
David ,   Israel   (12.09.12)
It's your people who only understand force - seen by your recent celebrations in Gaza with children dressed in military attire with toy guns, marvelling at a missile made to fire on civilians rather then educational achievements. Your people who throw women in jail for having children out of wedlock and beating them. Sentencing drug addicts to death and killing people without trial. The Israeli public demonstrates against our government because we would rather spend our taxes on education for our children's future then spending it on weapons to fight your government. The last time groups of Palestinians protested against Hamas, they were thrown from rooftops. Where's Mashaal your hero ? Living in a palace in Jordan with fine tailored suits, sending your children off to die while preaching hate and death. The sooner you people wake up the better
27. # 7
Birdi ,   Israel is ours.   (12.09.12)
Breaking news to you Ali in Gaza, you & your people do not have a future with Hamas.
28. Netanyahu is up to his old tricks....
Robert ,   Australia   (12.09.12)
....pre-empting his own intention to refuse any negotiation and blaming it on others These antics were exposed years ago.
29. Very wrong view by Netanyahu
Dave from Brazil ,   Sao Paulo   (12.09.12)
first of all Hamas did already accept two-state solution. The Likud party does not accept Palestinian state in theory but Netanyahu has already said he accepts it. People know this is the solution to this conflict. If Israel withdraws from the West Bank, letting the State of Palestine exist, the international community will expect and end to the conflict. If the Palestinians shoot rockets or attack Israel they will lose all the international support they have and will be punished by the international communty and they know it! In conclusion, Netanyahu does not have an excuse to build where he is not supposed to and negotiations must start immediately.
30. the colours are green, white, red and black and murder
