1. You tell 'em, Beebs
RobertK ,   Jerusalem   (05.25.05)
But this time, don't just say what you mean--mean what you say. You're our only hope. If you get back in there and replace that fat, corrupt jerk, don't go running to Assad Jr. to try and give away the Golan again.
2. once again, no bibi
edward ,   las vegas   (05.25.05)
you keep repeating the same garbage. if you want to know what 'boosts terror' read the amnesty international report. it is a very simple equation. 150 dead children in one year, that boosts terror. a brutal occupation, daily humiliation, average of two idf terror murders a day, terror missles into refugee camps, illegal detention of thousands of citizens without evidence, extra judicial terror murder, building a wall on occupied land, racist and apartheid laws, all under the guise of 'security'. this, you clown, 'boosts terror'. giving people back their land reduces terror. look at how many jews have died the past four months. none. because the pals know they are getting their land back and dont want to ruin the chance. so, you human piece of scum, shut your hole spewing sewage and sit back like you have since hes been elected.
3. once again
Isac ,   Boca Raton   (05.25.05)
You are such a primitive, self hating person. The problem with many Arabs is similar with that of the Nazis. They are always looking for a scapegoat. It's either the Jews, Christinas or the Americans or all of the above. In regards to the dead arab children: Arab mothers are proud if their children die as a martyr. Why don't they keep their children away from a battle zone. No christian or jewish mother would be proud of the "heroic" death of one of her children. You guys are so sick!!!!
4. Netanyahu's Offer-Too Little Too Late
Adina Kutnicki ,   NJ, US   (05.25.05)
Netanyahu is speaking from both sides of his mouth. I am convinced that he is convinced that the expulsion plan spells disaster for Israel's security, as opposed to the garbage spwed by Sharon that the expulsion will help Israel's security. Nevertheless, Bibi did not thwart this evil plan from his position of strength when it really counted. Words are indeed cheap, and can even lead to death. All he is doing now is damage control. When rockets are exploding all over Israel-Bibi wants to be able to quote this speech as his proof of being a security hawk. He had no problem giving away Hebron on his watch. He is counting on the masses having short memories and even shorter attention spans. You all can see where I am going with this.
5. To Isac
NYC Girl   (05.25.05)
You're right about the Arab mothers who are proud of their children becoming "martyrs." One look no further than Suha Arafat who said that if she had a son, she would be proud to have him become a shahid. Notice how disingenuous she was being because her daughter could just as easily blow herself up as a son could have. It's people like Yasser Arafat, and those other insufferable Palestinian "heroes," who only want to send other peoples' children to die. You don't see any of them volunteering. And to all those people who think that Israel is the root of all evil, I'd suggest they look into what happened when a poll was taken and the majority of Israeli Arabs said that no way in hell did they want to live in a Palestinian state. Perhaps they know something the chronic Israel bashers don't.
6. All people hate, resist foreign occupation
Mason ,   St. Paul   (05.25.05)
Not only Palestinians, but also all people since the beginning of history who have been occupied by a foreign power, especially if it is a brutal one as that of Israeli occupation in W. Bank and Gaza, have hated, resisted, and defeated military occupation. Even recently Mr. Sharon said that Israel can't afford to keep occupying Palestinian lands. Hope he will follow through and put an end to this occupation that is causing so much turmoil and instability in the world.
7. BIBI
JAY ,   CHICAGO   (05.25.05)
BIBI IS TO ARROGANT AND STUBOURN TO HANDLE THE CURRENT SITUATION. HE IS VERY INTELLIGENT AND HAS SERVED HIS COUNTRY WITH DISTINCTION AS IS COMMON IN HIS FAMILLY. HE ALWAYS TRIES TO BE AT THE CENTER OF ATTENTION AND CAN NEVER BE WRONG. REMEMBER A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN HE INSULTED THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION BY SAYING SOMEHTIGN TO THE EFFECT THAT THE ROAD MAP WAS NOT A PRIORITY FOR ISRAEL. IT DOES NOT SEEM THAT SHARON TRUSTS OR LIKES HIM VERY MUCH. BELEIVE IT OR NOT, I READ THAT THE PROFESSIONAL BURECRATS PREFER SHARON TO BOTH BARAK AND BIBI BECAUSE HE HAS A MUCH COOLER HEAD AND IS MUCH EASIER TO GET ALONG WITH.
8. SILLY MASON
JAY ,   CHICAGO   (05.25.05)
MASON IS LOOKING AT THI ISSUE VERY ONE SIDED. SHARON AND ISRAEL ARENT THE ONLY ONES CAUSING INSTABILITY IN THIS WORLD. HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF NORTH KOREA, IRAN, AND RWANDA? YOU LIKE MANY OTHERS CRITIICIZE ISRAEL BECAUSE THEY ARE EASY AND ONLY PAY LIP SERVICE TO THE OTHERS BECAUSE THEY ARE UNDEMOCRATIC AND WILL IGNORE YOU FOREVER.
9.  POLICY OF EMPOWERING TERRORISM AGAINST ISRAEL & THE WORLD
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (05.26.05)
Besides the Islamofascists, powerful non-Muslim Jew-haters want Israel destroyed. The hate is so great they don't care if it brings increased terrorism to the rest of the world. Israel! face reality. Jabotinsky tried desperately to warn before the Holocaust.. He was ignored. The nations were complicit in the murder of six million Jews. The nations barred Jews escaping into their nations. Britian barred Jews escaping from the Holocaust into Palestine. Don't you understand that history is about to repeat itself? Where are the strong Jewish leaders who will save Israel and the Jewish people from the second holocaust?
10. TO ADINA KUTNICKI
Johnny Weintraub ,   Sugar Land, Texas US   (06.24.05)
Uzi Landau told Ariel Sharon at the very beginning of the "disengagement" that he would oppose it. Of course, Uzi Landau was dismissed, and lost his paycheck as a Cabinet Minister. Of course, Bibi Netanyahu was not going to lose his paycheck, and Bibi Netanyahu has jeopardized the security of his country, and with all of the resulting turmoil, so that he (Bibi) could remain on the payroll.
