1. Abbass
Israel Letzter ,   TA   (07.09.14)
Let the dogs bark. There is no reason to respond to him. No reason for Bibi to shoot his mouth off with talks of heavy price. Israel must bring Hamas to caiptulate and destroy all missiles and military capabilities. Let them have autonomy in feeding their people, however demitilitarize the whole zone. Anything less is not viable , and total folly .
2. He Obviously doesn't keep track of how many murders
human being ,   earth   (07.09.14)
his people have committed since the 1970's! i'd estimate the total is around 2000 innocent people, most of them JEWS IN ISRAEL!
3. IDF: Please see this through till the end
Memphis Slim ,   Memphis, TN - USA   (07.09.14)
It is iimperative that Hamas be completely and utterly disarmed. whatever it takes. The current enviornment in the Mideast and with Ukraine has made this the perfect time to conduct this operation to pacify Gaza. Egypt doesn't care and hte other Arab state are only giving lip service to the Pals and are more worried about ISIS and IRAQ and Syria. Hezbullah? They are worn thin and more worried about hundreds of ISIS suicde bombers in thieir midsts. Iran? Worn thin supporting Syria AND Iraq. It should be noted that the missles that Hamas is shooting at Israel from Gaza are for the most part produced in Iran. This gives Israel a "cause belli" to address Iran after they are through with Gaza.
4. How is it genocide when 99% survive?
ayatollah ghilmeini ,   us   (07.09.14)
Oddly enough, real genocide, like Hitler's saw 75% of the Jews under Nazi occupation die. For bonus points the Palestinians supported Hitler, lie about Hitler's crimes and seek to finish his work. With a partner for peace like Abbas, small wonder war has broken out.
5. Abbas go and preach in Syria..
Ivan ,   South Africa   (07.09.14)
6. Ah, so the 1,400 Jews killed during...
David ,   Hartford USA   (07.09.14)
the various intifadas and other random terrorist attacks on civilians WASN'T genocide by Arabs??? Abbas only opens his mouth to change feet. He spouts off the stupidest bilge in order to remain relevant- but he isn't. Nobody listens to him. He has no control over anything or anyone. The only thing he does do is to steal the PA blind. The Arabs are morons, genocidal morons. The IDF has every right to wipe Gaza off the planet, but we'll settle for just wiping Hamas and its supporters off the planet. Mr. Abbas, nya nya, you're a dork! Go have tea with Suha, it's the only thing you're really trained to do.
7. Abbas should know
Righteous Zionist ,   Israelj   (07.09.14)
about genocide. His doctorate was a Holocaust denial and since then he's spent his career plotting genocide for the Jewish people in Israel. Hah!
8. Abbas
Hasak   (07.09.14)
Are these the people our "friends" tried to make peace with? Gimme a break and wipe them out,
9. No Abbas....Israel is comiting HAMASIDE
Alan ,   SA   (07.09.14)
10. PLAYING WITH FIRE
Robert ,   Israel   (07.09.14)
it is supposed that Abbas went through the university and got a diploma (in something). He should well know what "genocide means" and he should also well know what happens when his people play with fire. What do they expect? Should we reply with flowers? Poor guy, he missed attending to the University of life. Every time you spit to the ceiling, Be sure it will fall on you.
11. Abbas is guilty of everything
James ,   USA   (07.09.14)
Lift up his hair and you will find another mouth under it. This man is never to be trusted and should be arrested or at a minimum, persona non grata in Israel or its territories. Time to dissolve the PA and place PA police on Israel's payroll and supervision. That was the only part of OSLO that worked. The govt under PA control is corrupt and incites hatred to further its high ranking members while everyone else suffers. In the meantime, complete destruction of Hamas.
12. Here we go with the Nonsense
David ,   Minneapolis, USA   (07.09.14)
I wondered how long it would take for the Palestinians to peddle this garbage in their effort to swing world opinion. Although let's face it world opinion is usually far in the Arabs favor anyway. This guy us clearly no peace partner, unilateral withdrawal is the only answer, once Israel keeps what it wants. Lets finish this sham now.
13. Abbas is the usual lying terrorist
C   (07.09.14)
his major weapon against the jewish state is fabrication and propaganda.
14. abbas game plan: make himself look stupid
dante   (07.09.14)
watch out, abbas has had a lot of practice and he's good at it: making himself look like a moron, a fool, a clown. it's true that abbas is a homo sapien (at best, on a good day, the rulers of gaza are no higher than reptiles and they aspire to nothing more) but he never had the courage to prepare his people for peace, to make his people know that their lives, their future and that of their children depends upon peace.
15. a real lunatic.
tiki ,   belgium   (07.09.14)
If there were to be a real genocide on the 'Palestinian people', there would be a problem less in the world.
16. Genocide? LOL
S ,   USA   (07.09.14)
How does the small minority of Jews in the Middle East on less than 1% of ME land commit genocide against the vast majority of Arabs (22 Arab states) on over 99% of ME land? Wiping out the terrorist segment of ME Arab population in the ME is done by Arabs themselves in their ongoing sectarian violence — exterminating terrorism can not be genocide; it is a breath of fresh air, a recuperation for civilized conduct amongst peoples.
17. Over 1.5 million Arabs killed
ProphetS   (07.09.14)
Over 1.5 million Arabs have been killed by other (Islamic) Arabs in their internal sectarian conflicts during the past 75 years. The only threat to the Arab people are fellow Islamic Arabs.
18. Who takes this clown seriously?
Ed ,   USA   (07.09.14)
What a clown, Abbas is. With at least 550 air strikes, Israel could have wiped out the entire population of Gaza, had it wanted to do so. Rather, if it weren't for its partnership with the PA, Hamas would not have attacked Israel. If Abbas wants Israel to stop defending itself, he needs to work to end the attack.
19. Hey Abbas, here is an idea for you!
David ,   Montpelier   (07.09.14)
Hey Abbas, why don't you high-tail it down to Sderot, and start walking to the border with Gaza with a white flag. Let's find out whether your buddies in Hamas would shoot you dead. If not, then you can go talk to them and ask them to stop shooting rockets so Israel can stop bombing. You up for it ole'Abbasy?
20. Remand to ICC
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (07.09.14)
It is time for the leaders of the Zionist state to be referred for trial to the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Ideally, they should be kept in cells there until the trial comes up.
21. Killing people in Gaza won't bring you security
Raed ,   Jerusalem   (07.09.14)
End the occupation, lift the siege of Gaza, give up the settlements.. Give the Palestinians a state, then you will get security. This murderous rampage in Gaza will not bring you peace. I've never seen an occupier act as the victim.
22. genocide
Jon ,   Uk   (07.09.14)
Abbas needs to go somewhere to learn the meanings of the word
23. what a fooish leader. stupid and perfect for his people.
ralph   (07.09.14)
24. go already. lets see how immoral they are.
ralph   (07.09.14)
25. i thought killing teens rockets on civilians are war crimes.
ralph   (07.09.14)
26. guess for muslim arabs firing rockets on civilans not war cr
ralph   (07.09.14)
27. If abu masen means hamas = genocide..
Beary White ,   Norway   (07.09.14)
..then he does not understand the word genocide. Hamas-terrorists does not deserve anything else but death. Sadly some innocent people also will loose their life, but the responsibilities must be put on Islamic hamas.
28. LAUGHABLE: If this is 'genocide' - Israel has failed :-)))
Lynx ,   Palestine   (07.10.14)
Yeah...our population here has actually increased! (..but dont tell anyone...facts as you know, spoil a good story)
29. Garza isn't occupied Mr. Fox
Memphis Slim ,   Memphis, TN - USA   (07.09.14)
"Joseph Fox If Israel invades Gaza, the Palestinian Unity Government will fold up it's tent and close down, probably for good and the PLO will go into exile. The Arabs and their territory will be Israel's Apartheid problem. It will be interesting." When Israel uprooted their citizens from Gaza, it became independent. Israel is not occupying them and Gaza is not Israel's responsibility. Egypt has a border with them too. Israel could cut off their oil and electricity and they would be within their rights under international law. Gaza and ALL it's inhabitants are enemy combatants.
30. Abbas is delusional
Ron ,   oc us   (07.09.14)
38 dead is not a genocide. I bet even the Arabs in light of Syria, Iraq and Algeria are laughing at him. What 38 dead are to hamas amounts to a cheap price to pay for the privlidge of launching rockets into the Jews.
