2. Barghouti symbol of resistance
Stephen Skronski ,   Toronto, US   (11.26.05)
The victory of Barghouti doesn’t come as a surprise. The Palestinian people are experiencing a holocaust in the hand of Israel that’s only 50 years old. Being behind bars for many years now surely gives Barghouti the edge in the Palestinian elections. And resisting the Israeli occupation is by itself a victory against fascism.
3. hope he can govern behind bars
mike ,   usa   (11.26.05)
4. Great and funny!!
yoel   (11.26.05)
And the next will be Yasser's reelection. And maybe even dead people voted for him... I thought people should campain and present a political program for beeing elected. Ridiculous to qualify this PA a democracy. Poor "normal palestinians ", they will continue suffering while Europe will continue supporting financially those dictators.
5. Barghouti
Elad Lending ,   Israel   (11.26.05)
Well, I for one, have thought since the Oslo days, that Barghouti, in spite of his crimes, is the one Palestinian leader who would be capable and willing to make a realistic deal with Israel.
6. he is a freedom fighter ... you have my vote bargouti
aa ,   london   (11.26.05)
7. Murderous society for a mass-murderer
Ben Temalion ,   Shloh, USA   (11.26.05)
Another example of the need for capital punishment. A murderous people elect a mass-murderer. That IL has no capital punishment is part of the problem of trading live murderers for dead Jews.
8. Check out how
Leo ,   Tel Aviv   (11.26.05)
these mass murders show up to vote. Reuters has a picture. Do a search.... This my folks is democracy in action? Fair and democratic elections as Bush claims? The catch however is in the picture. Find it and see what I mean.
9. vote him Fatah leader
dan ,   jerusalem   (11.26.05)
Go on Fatah! Vote him your leader I for one will enjoy that story
10. barghouti
irashirley ,   Boynton Beach   (11.26.05)
barghouti for pollard
11. 2# What a load of crap
Lemar ,   UK   (11.26.05)
IfHolocaust, you are an anti semitic fool. Israel would not have killed one Palestinian if there was no Intafada. The Jews were killed just for being Jews, they did not attack the Nazis. Open your eyes and stop hating Jews
12. yossi bellin says:
Jerome ,   Kfar Saba   (11.26.05)
Barghouti is a man of peace. Just like Bush says, Abbas is a man of peace. Tell you what. Release the mass murderer Barghouti from jail on one condition. The first time Barghouti plans a terror attack (which he will!) Belin is jailed for life for treason. Then take every lying son-of-a-bitch statesmen and through whatever means possible make them write a signed statement saying they lied to save the terrorist asses of those who sought to destroy Israel. It is time we prove lies to be just that, lies. Yes, the above sounds like behavior from the dark ages but how much longer will Jews sit back and allow this bullshit by bullshiters to ruin their lives?? And in the end, what is worse, allowing more innocent Jews to be slaughtered or rise up and say, enough is enough. Furthermore, I don't care if it would be true that Barghouti is a man of peace. He like other mass murderers must be held accountable not given a pass simply because they CLAIM to have changed their ways. If Belin and the like want a world in which every person who kills the innocent is forgiven on mere claims, let them set up their own state somewhere on an island and live together 'supposedly' happily ever after. Barghouti, Bush, Belin or any crazed appeaseing idiot will not again have the opportunity to dance on the graves of my loved ones. Never!!
13. How soon you all forget
A Bethlehemite ,   Bethlehem, Palestine   (11.26.05)
Terrorist wanted posters Shamir: http://www.palestine-encyclopedia.com/EPP/Photos_Volume1/pages/49.htm Begin: http://www.palestine-encyclopedia.com/EPP/Photos_Volume1/pages/48.htm
14. Photo
Ady Bacalu, M.D. ,   Netanya, Israel   (11.26.05)
Sirs, Like many other media outlests you use a very "heroic" photo of Barghouti. I think a snapshot of his arrest, with the "hero" looking like a cornered rat when getting a drink of water from an Israeli soldier would have been more suitable for this killer. Ady Bacalu
15. BEILIN'S REMARK
poppy ,   south africa   (11.26.05)
What would Beilin have to say if one of his family were murdered by Bargouti?? Are other peoples blood not worth anything?? Beilin is a disgrace to the jewish people he should have been born an arab as he is speaking only for the arabs I have never heard an arab saying anything sympathetic towards the jewish people. SHAME ON YOU
16. a Bethlehemite
Tsedek ,   Israel   (11.26.05)
They did not go to England and bombed busses and disco's. No comparison whatsoever. They were fighting for their existence after being attacked.
17. #2 - stephen
Tsedek ,   Israel   (11.26.05)
you call defense fascism.
18. #7 - Ben Temalion
Tsedek ,   Israel   (11.26.05)
"A murderous people"? Why do you generalize? Does every Palestinian commit or support terrorism? How do you know? Shame on you. I don't blame them at all. With the one-sided hate-stories they're consuming since the birth of this land - I feel for them. Because, until the Palestinians do not come to terms with the actual facts in history on which they've build their perspective of today, there's no chance for peace and the ones suffering from this the most are they - especially those who would just like to live in peace in an independent Palestinian country of their own. The blame everybody but ourselves principle they're having -with lots of success if we may view the public opinion in Europe- is not their fault. It's easy to creep into that one if your proxies were not able to reach their goal in destroying Israel and one cannot live with the consequences thereof.
19. Barghouti should be hanged
(11.26.05)
20. It's a done deal
Lady Justice ,   City of Peace   (11.26.05)
The deal was made way back. Egypt lets Azzam Azzam go free, Israel lets Barghouti go free and the US lets Pollard go free. Egypt did their part. Israel will bow to foreign dictates as usual. The key here is will America be a back-stabber again like at Wye and reneg a second time? This puts Barghouti already halfway out the door. If America does not come across with Pollard, there will be hell to pay.
21. "a cold-blooded murderer "
accessol ,   Spelthorne, England   (11.26.05)
When a Palestinian is willfully provoked by the murder of his brothers and by the theft of his land, by the destruction of his home and the daily humiliations and frustrations of the checkpoints and constant attacks from bible-thumping settlers into fighting back that is not cold-blooded murder but an expression of the human spirit, just as justified as the ghetto uprising in Warsaw and the revolt in Sobibor. In contrast when a highly trained Israeli sharpshooter targets his high powered high performing gun at the head of a Palestinian child, that's your cold-blooded murderer, adon Sivan Shalom.
22. The bethlehemite #16
yoel   (11.26.05)
Maybe you should try to think with what is left from your amibian brain. People who published those pictures are britons who were occupying the Palestine. The same people thought you were one sub-species of humanity that needed to be educated. Where's the credibility of those documents? Try to argue in a different way, and find other credible sources for expressing your hatred!
23. Beilin Would Even Free Hitler
(11.26.05)
There should be a contest between who is more dangerous to Israel - Bargouhti or the likes of Beilin. I am absolutely convinced that if Hitler were jailed today Beilin and his comrads would be perfectly comfortable with him "leading" the aggrieved Germans. Brothers and sisters - from this point on if you do not realize who are your other enemies - the deluded far left in your midst- you will be perpetually in danger. Wake up from your slumbers. MK Kara is trustworthy, yet Beilin is a poisonous snake. Now you can judge for yourselves what he has in mind for you with his "Geneva Agreement" - an "agreement" for self destruction!
24. Yossi and the lunatic left
Ilan ,   Ariel   (11.26.05)
Pardoning a convicted murderer in order to promote some short term policy is the type of stupidity that brought a gang of thugs from Tunisia and started the Oslo disaster. That Peretz thinks that a merger with Meretz is possible shows how far down the post-zionist path Israel's left has travelled. They have more in common with Marwan than with the Israeli public.
25. accessol
h ,   west chester   (11.26.05)
accesol- how dare you compare a ruthless bloodthirsty murderer to the martyers of the holocaust. barghouti is a terrorist, whether you anti-semitics will admit it or not.
26. Shalom say Barghouty will never be released.
Uzziel   (11.26.05)
Well that means that he will sit in jail for the next 6 months, or seven maximum...
27. Marwan will be free
Salameh ,   Gaza, Palestine   (11.26.05)
It is the criminals of Palmach, Stern and Hagana who murdered the pregnant women and babies along with international mediators like count Bernadotte in Palestine and were wanted by the british and the interpol like shamir, begin and sharon who should be locked up, not a freedom fighter like marwan who is seeking peace based on a 2 state solution. Anyway, whether Eitam, Eldad, Landau and Sharon like it or not, he will be free and days will tell you
28. All terrorists like Marwan Barghouti...
Shai ,   Israel   (11.26.05)
... should be given the death sentence. I don't care whether he thinks it was "resistence" or not to be behnd the murders of civilians and non-comabants. He should be hung and buried.
29. He should have been shot and killed not captured
(11.26.05)
Then there wouldnt be this problem
30. Skronski, you follow the party line very well
AK   (11.26.05)
Regardless whether it's one of the red variety or the neo-Nazi party, they're all prodigiously proud of you. You've got the language and the arguments just perfect, the way they taught you. To the rest of us, not ideologically committed for life to a party propaganda, terrorist is a terrorist, and Barghouti has been proven to direct terrorist attacks against the Jews .
