1. Khaled Mashal
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (07.23.14)
... reminds me of the Black Knight in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".
2. Hamas doesn't want a ceasefire. Kerry can go home.
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (07.23.14)
Neither Egypt nor Israel wanted him in the region brokering a ceasefire with the help of Hamas supporters Turkey and Qatar. But now Hamas has rejected a ceasefire. Now go home and leave the IDF to finish the job.
3. Time to remove this evil man
Mark Jeffery Koch ,   Cherry Hill, USA   (07.23.14)
I wish the Mossad would take out this evil man who hides in luxury hotels in Kuwait and Qatar. The world, and the Palestinian people, will be far better off without him. Enough of this "we must weaken Hamas but leave it in power in Gaza because we don't know what will follow." Prime Minister Netanyahu, this is absurd. Nothing can be worse. Order your intelligence services to take out Meshal now. Do the people of Israel, the Palestinian people, and the world a big favor.
4. Hamas refuses ceasefire............
Ben ,   USA   (07.23.14)
Hamas has refused the ceasefire, and said it will never disarm. It's now time to finish Hamas off once and for all !!!
5. He won't accept a cease fire?
Observer   (07.23.14)
He won't accept a cease fire but he would accept a Humanitarian cease fire ? makes sense ... So all it took is just adding that word "humanitarian" and that could have prevented all those deaths. Does Hamas never learn ? How about next time for "Humanitarian" reasons they should try and abstain from firing rockets on Israel just because they think that some straw story in Jerusalem broke their Camel's back.
6. Meshaal's Gotterdamnerung
robert ,   antwerp Belgium   (07.23.14)
Seems like God is pushing Meshaal to refuse a cease fire in order that Israel may destroy Hamas. In comparison, God pushed pharao not to let Israel leave Egypt until he and his army were destroyed. May God help Israel win this war and protect its soldiers
7. Mashaal is taking a very extended vacation in Qatar

8. Such A Brave Man - From His 5 Star...l
Ron ,   Seattle USA   (07.23.14)
...hotel, he demands that more Palistinans die to swell his already swollen ego. He should return to Gaza where the IDF can give him what he deserves.
9. thank you, thank you, thank you.

10. #3 Don't you know the history?
Shalom ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.24.14)
You say "Prime Minister Netanyahu... . Order your intelligence services to take out Meshal now." It's easy to sympathize. BUT: "On 25 September 1997, Mashal was the target of an assassination attempt carried out by the Israeli Mossad under orders from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his security cabinet.." Read the rest of the story for yourself.
11. looks like he wants more
david ,   new york   (07.24.14)
he's got air conditioning and sushi in quatar and his terrorist buddies in gaza are being squashed like bugs. i hope he keeps on refusing a ceasefire and gives israel the ability to really finish off hamas.
12. Speaking in Quatar...?
DvorahTheProphetess ,   SC, USA   (07.24.14)
What's the matter, Khaled - things too HOT for you in GAZA that you "speak" for your people . . . from hundreds of miles away?
13. Ma'ashal & Kerry R both supercilious bastards!
Jew-C ,   JewLandia (Israel)   (07.24.14)
who are disconnected from reality. a pox on both their houses!
14. To Whom It May Concern,
Savid ,   Israel   (07.24.14)
Hamas can not accept ceasefire because his big brother and supporter Tayyip ERDOGAN (The Prime Minister of Turkey)is on his way to be the next President of Turkey after the election which will be held in 15 days. His election campaign is based and focused on the Israeli-Hamas war and with the rising death toll it seems like he is very close to be the next president of Turkey. Turks are being provoked and cheated by the ruthless opportunism taking place during his election meetings. IT IS TIME TO EXPOSE HIS DIRTY ELECTION CAMPAIGN SUPPORTED BY KHALED MASHAL.

yonatan Allon ,   adelaide/Israel   (07.24.14)
He is evil but not stupid.
16. US Media: Why not shocked Hamas would shoot at a plane?
mark ,   miami USA   (07.24.14)
The news media misses the focus of the FAA blocade of flights to Israel. The focus is wrong: Discusion shouldn't be about a political decision and/or a win for Hamas. The media should be shocked that Hamas would try to shoot down a civilian plane. PS Why doesn't the media also mention that Gaza blocade is also with Egypt; and that it exits because of their terrorist actions.
17. Hamas leader rejects ceasefire
mat ,   uk   (07.24.14)
Hamas started this war and the tables turned around now Israel is more guilty now Israel with all the clever people they have should learn from the Palestinians use the weapon of the media & journalists bring cameras to show injured dead suffering pictures of similar the same what the Palestinians are doing they have won the media war it will be very hard war to even match it with all the sympathy for the Palestinians and the anti sematic going on journalists looking for stories Gaza is good story
18. a history lesson for Mark J. Koch at #3
Jew-C ,   JewLandia (Israel)   (07.24.14)
in 1997 Prime Minister Mr. Netanyahu ordered Mossad to carry out targeted killing of Khaled Ma'ashal in Jordan. The targeted killing failed the results were as follows: 1. Cooling of diplomatic and economic relationship between Israel and Jordan. Jordan an ally of Israel was appalled that the targeted killing had been ordered on its sovereign territory. 2. Not only did Prime Minister Mr. Netanyahu have to send the antidote which saved Khalad Ma'ashal's life he also 3. RELEASED THE ARCH TERRORIST AHMED YASSIN in releasing Yassin Prime Minister Mr. Netanyahu unleashed the worst round of terrorism inside of Israel that our nation has ever seen. So thank you for your timely suggestion but Prime Minister Mr. Netanyahu has been there, attempted that and FAILED! The citizens of the State of Israel are living with the fruits of Prime Minister Mr. Netanyahu's failure.
19. the footsoldier in Gaza
israeli ,   israel   (07.24.14)
is smarter than Hamas leadership. 150 of them surrendered to IDF about an hour ago. Let's hope their entire house of cards and terror crumbles before more lives are lost.
20. Mashal will fight to the last pal
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (07.24.14)
from luxurious hotel suits in finely tailored suits while his 'people' die in vain and by the truckload. BTW, He holds a Jordanian passport. Very brave with the pals lives...
21. To the People of Gaza: Please READ
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (07.24.14)
Just look at that picture...says everything Mashaals hands waving theatrically with a smug grin as if this was some sort of operetta...well fed and rested, no worries about HIS Pension Pot in Qatar and Switzerland or his immediate safety, away from the noise chaos and death in Gaza...like a sewer rat finally escaped from a STINKING ship. Neverthless the façade masking a ruthless brutal evil selfishness and callousness treachery betrayal greed and egotism Blind deaf and dumb to Gaza suffering.... Blind deaf and dumb to any ideas to advance well being and prosperity in Gaza Blind deaf and dumb to his conscience and no guilt for starting this shocking and destructive conflict Gaza Mashaal says he wants ANOTHER chance? There IS another way
22. Hamas must read Zep 2: vs 4 - 7.........
Calibi ,   Sydney Aust   (07.24.14)
you said,"No one will break the resistance with Allah's help. Under the table they talk about disarming the resistance of its weapons. No one can disarm the resistance with Allah's help." So why must you go hiding? Where is your allah? if you will to pay attention what Yahweh said in Zephaniah 2; 4 - 7, thousands of years before Roman change the name ISRAEL to Palestine. The Minor Prophet Zephaniah gave a prophecy of a time when Gaza would be forsaken. From verse 4 of Chapter 2 he states….”4 For Gaza will be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation. They will drive out Ashdod at noonday, and Ekron will be rooted up. 5 Woe to the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! The word of Yahweh is against you, Canaan, the land of the Philistines. I will destroy you, that there will be no inhabitant. 6 The sea coast will be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks. 7 The coast will be for the remnant of the house of Judah. They will find pasture. In the houses of Ashkelon, they will lie down in the evening, for Yahweh, their God, will visit them, and restore them. Philistines are not Arabs they have long gone but if you wish for your people you are bring curses to them. May God bless Israel and IDF.
23. cowardness
Mark Weisgold ,   Isreal   (07.24.14)
This big savior of thee people sits in his apartment and tells others hat to do. Why doesn't he really do something? Is he just to afraid?

25. Is that you Pinocchio?
US citizen ,   Atlanta, US   (07.24.14)
Better check your mirror again.
26. Mashal is HAMAS
Brod ,   USA   (07.24.14)
Stamping out HAMAS is stamping out Mashal. Once the latter is out of the picture, there will be peace and quiet in Gaza. Gaza will be demilitarized.
27. disarm this head of the snake. Arrest him.

28. Terrorist Organizations Delegitimization
Karen E. ,   Ohio USA   (07.24.14)
Terrorists all have a common root problem - they are full of deception and lies based on their "deviled" belief system causing them to be blinded by hate. They are to be pitied for eternity. No member in Hamas should be believed about any matter. This "fox" leader of Hamas & his brood do not deserve legitimization or funding by any government or nation, but should be captured and put behind bars or killed. I strongly oppose any government leader who "listens to" and supports in any way terrorist organizations & fervently pray that our government officials will firmly stand on the side of truth and diligently work to completely dismantle terror organizations - and work with Israel, instead of attempting to blackmail and deter her in the present good against evil conflict.
