1. This is just like...
Ginette Golden ,   Toronto, Canada   (06.30.14)
My kid favorite game of PacMan when the were little...You eat me, I eat you...until there is no one left. The fans (of Israel of course) love it! Shavoua tov,
2. Letter to Hamas . .
Jacob ,   NZ   (06.30.14)
Dear Marzook . . What the hell don't you understand . . If you would spend less on pointless munitions like rockets and mortars then you would have enough money to pay your daily bills . . It shouldn't take a rocket scientist to work that out for gods sake. Your people are suffering . . Don't you care ?
3. Hamas against Reconciliation
Zechariah   (06.30.14)
If Hamas was for reconciliation It would help Israel find the kidnapped teenagers even covertly. Instead it stokes the viscous cycle where it will end is unpredictable but it's not positive for the Two peoples in One State With Security with SuperPower Weaponry against Suicidal Psycho Mass Murder Gangs.
4. Dont worry Hamas
alsky ,   Toronto   (06.30.14)
your days are numbered.
5. He's probably right.Even by Muslim standards it's a cesspool

no more international travels to abbas... and it is an awesome thing indeed.
7. WELL! HE IS YOUR PEOPLE. YOU ALL RUN
IRANIAN JEW ,   LA USA   (06.30.14)
when it comes to rational thinking. He kind of left because he did not want to be thrown off the roof I might add. I know it is an honor for you, but maybe not for this bad leader. He likes to shop in Paris instead.
8. One minute unity government
Benji ,   US   (06.30.14)
The Hamas meltdown begins. Now we see the only reason Hamas wanted a unity government was to squeeze money from the PA to pay Hamas officials. And this is who Obama wanted Israel to make peace with. Time for the PA to take over Gaza and kick these bums out.
9. Marzouk tells the truth
(06.30.14)
Netanyahu did not close the border between Israel and Gaza to protect Israelis, he did it to serve Abbas. Israel will have peace and security only when the government starts looking after the citizens, not foreign despots and terrorists.
10. LOL!

News flash! No one wants Gaza. It's full of violent "palestinians." The mistake is in thinking that just because the "palestine" authority wants nothing to do with Gaza, it will somehow be enough to keep Israel from sending West Bank Arabs there. It won't. If Abbas thought that his embracing of Hamas would be useful as leverage against Israel, he thought wrong. Israel will capitalize on his poorly chosen political move. We will annex Judea and Samaria, and we will deport the "palestinians" illegally squatting therein to Gaza. Lip service is one thing. We're going to send Abbas & Co. to Gaza, where they can work on their "unity government." Did Abbas really think that Israel would tolerate having terrorists arrayed against us on two borders? Well, it wouldn't be the first time that the "palestinians" have fallen victim to delusions of their own making. But it will be the last. And the big winner here? Why, that would be Jordan. Israel is about to yank Jordan's chestnuts out of the coals with respect to the serious and immediate threat poised by ISIS or, as they are now calling themselves, the new "Caliphate." No one else cares, you see. Certainly not the inept Moslem-in-chief in the White House. No, Israel has the perfect opportunity to make Jordan even more dependent upon Israeli military might. We'd be fools not to take advantage of the opportunity, which will be a blessing to the Kingdom and to the Gulf States. Whether we choose to demand something beyond quiet thanks is something for down the road. But you can expect to see a sudden support from the most unlikeliest quarters for a "palestinian" state in Gaza. They've anticipated just that as the new geopolitical reality for the "palestinians" for quite some time. The chickens have come home to roost. The days of unqualified Arab financial support for the "palestinians" is long over. It appears that unqualified Arab lip service for the "palestinians" is about to come to an end, too. The dominant Arab powers in the region are the Kingdom, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The rulers of the Kingdom want to keep their palaces and luxurious lifestyles. Abu Dhabi and Dubai want to keep their new-found status as the new Arab financial capital (bye-bye Lebanon, forever) and as headquarters of Western commercial interests in the Gulf. The Saudis can't, because they don't really want foreigners -- especially Westerners -- any more than necessary, and Islamic banking laws, by which the Saudis are chained, are far too complex. Abu Dhabi and Dubai suffer no such constraints. If you look at how many American and British law firms have opened offices in Abu Dhabi and Dubai -- well, they've expanded operations there even more than they did in Russia and China. And that's quite a lot. The death knell for the "palestinians" has been sounded. No one likes a terrorist, after all, and the "palestinians" have never been able to attract a leadership that isn't closely linked with terror. The Arab Gulf States and the Kingdom need Israel. Far more than they need -- or want -- the "palestinians." The "palestinians'" days in the sun are over. They'll have to make do with Gaza. This verbal diatriabe stemming from Hamas is nothing more than a desperate attempt on the part of Hamas to maintain some sort of terror-driven hegemony in Gaza. That's going to be tough to do, in view of the fact that Israel controls the Strip. And the noose is subject to tightening without warning. Hamas is in a terrible bind. They severely miscalculated Israel's response to the kidnapping of three Jewish boys. Those boys had better come home alive. Because if they don't, Gaza dies, too. Game, set, match -- to Israel.
11. And in this corner.....
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (06.30.14)
pick a side both losers and the fictitious "people' the pals still get the boot from both sides. Typical they were invented by a gay Egyptian for profits only. Bigger question is how long will Israel allow either to exist? Announce a sale in Gaza and watch them rush for the border. KEEP BUILDING !! The pals are kaput!
