1. What about the terrorists?
Ann C. ,   MO, USA   (06.18.05)
"Asked about the participation of Hamas in the general PA elections, Rice said that "the administration sees Hamas as a terrorist organization, but this is an internal Palestinian matter." In other words, we know you are all a bunch of Terrorists, but the USA isn't going to do a thing about it, and neither is Israel. Whatever happened to "turning in their weapons" or disarming the terrorists? Oops, I forgot, Peres wants to give 'em even more weapons.
2. Rice is an idiot!
Daisy ,   USA   (06.18.05)
Most Arabs, "Palestinians" don't exist, support terror. Rice is a total dhimmi to the Arabs.
3. to 1 & 2
(06.18.05)
both of you are idiots and you have no idea what's politic , the PLO in the old time was it the most wanted terrorist organisation and Yasser Arafat was the most wanted terrorists ... later on with whom the USA and Israel was dealing for peace , with the PLO and their leader Arafat .. and this will happen again with Hamas if not as resistent organisation it will be as a part of the Palistinian government ... you wanted or not this what will happen .... you are still too young it seams
4. am i missing something?
mike ,   usa   (06.18.05)
so for maintaining the cease-fire and enacting democretic reforms Abbas wants: "in return for living up to these commitments, the Palestinians ask that the Israelis remove checkpoints; release prisoners, and stop settlement expansion". so what does Israel get in return for giving up the settlements in Gaza? Nothing. what a bunch of babies tha Philistines are.
5. Sucking Up Won't Save the US
Adina Kutnicki ,   NJ, US   (06.18.05)
The only thing left for Condi Rice to do is to lick Abbas/Mazen's boots and be done with it. For an otherwise intelligent woman she still doesn't get it, and neither does her boss. Every time she talks about the "Holy Koran" and Islam being a "religion of peace" she sounds more like a dhiminni and delusional. She thinks that if she prostrates herself enough, and throws Israel to the mercy of the jihadists, then perhaps the US will be safe. Not. If anything, the more anyone shows weakness before the Islamists the more the killings/beheadings will continue. Cozying up to Arafat's # 2 is not any different than cozying to to Osama's # 2. Does the US have to suffer another 9/11 before this administration gets it??
6. Is Dr Rice right.
Alan ,   South Africa   (06.19.05)
Who told Dr Rice that some Palestinian mothers dont dream of little Ahmed becoming a suicide bomber.. I once saw a film of the late chairman Arafat telling a mother of something like 10 children. (I cant remember exactly how many). "Mother, 9 for you and one for me."She was smiling , so happy for the compliment.... Look how many young boys (children) in the past few weeks have been caught with bombs and guns.I am a father of 3 so dont tell me that a parent doesnt know what their children are doing. The only time the mothers are sorry is when little Ahmed gets caught without killing 28 Israelis. Then they are very sorry that he wasted his efforts
7. THE "PEACE PROCESS" OF TERROR & WAR
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (06.19.05)
A cease fire is temporary; therefore meaningless - agreed to only until Gaza is in terrorist hands. Ms. Rice declared, Abbas is "a man of peace" and that "his government seeks peace and the policy of the U.S. is to support it." This is the "peace" the U.S. refers to: On January 10, 2005, Israel Radio's morning newsmagazine reported Abbas appeared before cheering crowds the night before, stating the "little Jihad had ended, and now the big Jihad is beginning". The crowd responded, "A Million Shahids Marching to Jerusalem!" Abbas was Arafat's partner for over 40 years. The "peace process" of terror and war was explained by Arafat on Jordanian TV shortly after Oslo. The PLO strategy adopted in 1974: "Since we cannot defeat Israel in war, we do this in stages. We take any and every territory we can of Palestine, and establish sovereignty there, and we use it as a springboard to take more. When the time comes, WE CAN GET THE ARAB NATIONS TO JOIN US FOR THE FINAL BLOW AGAINST ISRAEL." Michael Widlanski, March 29, 2005, reported: "Official Palestinian media said that Mahmoud Abbas's PLO, Hamas and Islamic Jihad had agreed in principal to full unification with all sides recognizing the PLO's 1974 "Strategy of Stages" document that sets out a phased program for ISRAEL'S DESTRUCTION THROUGH A COMBINATION OF DIPLOMACY AND VIOLENCE." Colluding with Egypt, the Palestinian Authority have smuggled in anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft shoulder fired missiles that can bring down commercial jets. The Road Map Islamic terror state reduces TINY Israel to a 9 mile wide border at its middle. No longer a viable country. The U.S. is even demanding Israel is cut into pieces. Compacting little Israel into the world's most overcrowded Jewish ghettto with utterly INDEFENSIBLE borders. Ensuring a second holocaust. They call this method of killing Jews, the "peace process". Hitler called it the final solution.
8. Mid-East "Peace"
Rick S. ,   CA, USA   (06.19.05)
If I had any hair left on my head I would tear it out. As a Republican who supported Bush & Rice I just want to scream. Are they NUTS? The Arab world has perfected the art of lying and these two clowns are buying these lies hook, line & sinker. Israel keeps appeasing (under US presure) while the Pals keep firing missiles & mortars. Sharon better wake up or there will be no Israel left.
9. To all Faciest Zionist
David Bengorion ,   MO,USA   (06.19.05)
One day fact will be clear to the all world; Zionism is racism, stop playing with mind of poor american citizens.Palestine for Palestinian peopel .........so get your ass out of palestine now ,and END the Occupation, be a human being and not an animal zionist.
10. This is what their word is worth: NOTHING
Dani ,   Tel Aviv   (06.19.05)
"Reflections from Beirut" by Nabil Khalifeh (a political activist living in Beirut) "Arafat is a pathological liar; we signed 72 ceasefires with him in a span of 18 months in 1975-1976, and he broke each and every one of them, whenever he felt that the balance of power was shifting to his advantage. To refresh the memory, he is quoted to have said: ‘I am ready to kill for the sake of my cause; wouldn't I lie for it?’"… http://www.freelebanon.org/articles/a135.htm
11. Long live Condoz
omar omar ,   XXX   (06.19.05)
That’s It Condoz !!! Congratulations!!! You got it madam “…not imagine that Palestinian mother’s dream of sending their children to be suicide bombers.” Even if they said some thing else, they are layers !!! but that’s the only way they could have hope of living better life.
12. No palestinian mother wants her son to be a suicide bomber
Alan ,   south africa   (06.19.05)
Dear Condoleza.. You are right . Why should a Palestinian mother let her young teenage son take a chance in paradise with 72 virgins, when she could be sure he could crack it in Israel with a 28 year old caretaker.(and even finish his education)
13. Something for Condi to consider
Alan ,   South Africa   (06.19.05)
Condoleza.. Lets try to find a suitable US voting district , say Tampa ,where all the Jihadis like to hang out or even Lodi California where the Feds just caught a new lot... Why we could get Mullah Omar, Bin laden , Al Zawariri and Al Zarkawi to stand for Congress. That way ,they will have entered the Democratic process and now you wont have to spend 100 million dollars to catch them.They will be part of the legitimate political wing of Al Queda and youll be able to ascertain whats been on their mind all these years since Nairobi, Yemen (the Cole)Somalia, Beirut and New York.
