1. Arafat also recognized israel, and look where that got us
(02.25.06)
Will I believe this hamas terrorist leader? NO! NO! And NO! Let me just remind all of us that this man is alos talking about a long term "hudna" that was proposed by Yassin, which basically meant a long term peace until the "final liberation". mean while, it is not just Sharon who is in a coma state right now, but Israel as well. Time to wake the hell up.
2. "WE LOVE DEATH MORE THAN YOU LOVE LIFE".
(02.25.06)
3. THIS IS LIKE IRVING REVISING HIS REVISIONISM.....
(02.25.06)
4. An end to annoying jock itch Hamas
yoel ariel ,   moving target   (02.25.06)
CHSBIC Haniyeh has a very very serious constipation problem. It in fact rivals his credibility problem. With the positive approval and actions of those who are really good at doing things as may be necessary; he will cease to be troubled by such minor annoyances. Forever one hopes. CHSBIC? Chief Hamas Slime Ball in Charge, of course.
5. Hamas will bow....
Hiram ,   tel aviv   (02.25.06)
...to International community requests.....They have no choice...and no arab country wants to finance them.....
6. Peace with Israel or peace without Israel?
Boaz ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (02.25.06)
It’s a rhetorical question, because Palestinian rights means one Palestine from the river to sea
7. We will drink the blood of the Jews
Micah ,   Israel   (02.25.06)
http://www.pmw.org.il/ Hamas and Nuclear Terror then scroll down and Watch the video! We will drink the blood of the Jews!! "We are not lovers of blood," that lying sack of shit says....then we must prove where his words are written in stone. Send this to as many media outlets as you possibly can. If not you, who?
8. Actually, his answers are a sign of pressure
Yehuda ,   Seattle   (02.25.06)
Clearly this guy knows that he has to moderate his stance and he is smart with words - unlike Arafat, Yassin or Khaled. He is trying to start negotiating from a different position to where Arafat ended. He has already changed a major stance they had in their election policy saying that now they would recognize Israel under certain circumstances. He also realizes that feeding off Iran will not be good for his people and there will probably be a power stuggle between Haniyeh and Khaled who wants an Iran like country. The world must continue to apply pressure. Small carrots of humanitarian aid and big sticks when Hammas makes poor decisions. Hammas will have to moderate. Egypt, Jordan and Turkey did not apply pressure because they love Israel. They will fall to similar regimes if they show support for this type of monolithic party. This is their chance to save their countries from becoming Irans. That makes pressure from them more guaranteed. I actually think that there is hope. But it will take time.
9. Let's stop beating around the bush...
Andy   (02.25.06)
The issue is the destruction of the Jewish State masquerading as "return" of "refugees" to Israel. That is why Israeli withdrawal from Judea and Samaria to 1967 borders and establishment of a Palestinian State with Jerusalem as its capital is Hamas' starting point for knocking off their war against Israel. In other words, Israel moves back the clock to April, 1967 and slides toward destruction in favor of a bi-national state. That is why the Palestinians never define "the occupation" or "return of our land" clearly and skip over the two state solution. They want a Jewish minority in Israel. Although I favor withdrawal from the West Bank, it cannot be unilateral and must come with giving up Palestinian dreams of "returning" to Jaffa, Acco, Lod, Haifa, Herzliya, Ramat Hasharon, etc. for true compromise. To the contrary, final status should include Um El-Fahm and other large Israeli Arab cities on the Palestinian side of the border. What is coming from Hamas is Arafat turning down Barak/Clinton in favor of more war all over again.
10. no more appeasement
jf ,   nashville   (02.25.06)
It was a mistake to grant concessions in the first place. No more deals should be made...just a promise.....if anymore blood is spilled.....no territory will be set aside as a refuge for you to use as a breeding ground. All of Israel IS Israel. And another thing, remove that abomination from the Temple Mount. It was a foolish mistake and an act of stupidity to let it remain.
11. to hiram.
(02.25.06)
You are deluded, Hamas will never bow to the hypocritical international security. It does not matter if arab finance them or not, they won't bow! just watch!
12. OK!... If not the sea,where do you want to throw the Jews?
Alan ,   South Africa   (02.25.06)
13. Quran: Lying is permissable
Chaya ,   Israel   (02.25.06)
In the Quran it is written that lying is permissable for a 'greater good.' This is more doubletalk - the same as Arafat did. The only thing to do with this entity is to destroy it. THERE IS NO SUCH PLACE AS PALESTINE!
14. hamas' double talk
me ,   here   (02.25.06)
arafat(i mach shemo), was an expert in telling foreign media noe thing in english ,and toataly the opposite in arabic ,to his gun- clenching mobs. haniya--- we've been to your movie already ,and we don't want/need an encore.we certainly don't beleive a word you're saying.
15. Olmert Will Give Hamas a Hudna
Jerry ,   NYC, USA   (02.25.06)
The corrupt weakling Olmert will, after the elections, if he becomes PM (G-d forbid), will give Hamas a hudna (temporary cease fire). Hamas will then further strengthen its terror apparatus, including in the Lands which Olmert/Kadima cleanse of Jews in YeShA. Olmert will lead Israelis on a dance of future death and destruction, with various Hudnas, withdrawals from the Land, and beatings of Israeli "settlers". March 28, decide your fate.
16. Eff this guy and all his ilk
Digital Heretic   (02.25.06)
17. They're taught to lie
Sigfried S. Kuhn ,   Aberdeen   (02.25.06)
I wonder if Jimmy Carter wrote this "speech of moderation" for the psychopathic killer? Remember, this ex-president was a favorite speechwriter for Arafat. Then again, maybe the speech was written by the EU or the State department to justify giving money to Hamas to kill Israelis.
18. You guys are funny!
Abdullah ,   Kuwait City   (02.25.06)
As I always say, the world's worst threat is the increasing threat of extremism all over the world! We see that in the many countries in the Middle East where religious people get the upper hand in deciding the state affairs! For example, Israelis voted Likud into power which is almost the Jewish version Hamas, the world didn't get a hind of the dramatic danger facing the region and now after Hamas got into power now the world is awaken! Peace is achieved by compromise because neither Israelis nor Palestinians are ready to give up any of their ambitions and that is what neither party is addressing as the grand problem before any peace is possible between the two people! So until then I say doing anything other than addressing the issue of compromise on both sides, would be totally a waste of time!
19. Arafat 2
(02.25.06)
20. What a snake ... who's buying the snake oil?
stefano ,   new york   (02.25.06)
How about starting with the fact that by withdrawing from positions the PLO had to take in order to create the PA, Hamas was elected to something whose underlying premise it rejects. Hence, we must pull the plug on the PA immediately, those tax funds shouldn't be put in Escrow but used to finish the fence. "Oslo stated that a Palestinian state would be established by 1999. Where is this Palestinian state?" OK, well how well did Fatah carry out its commitment to deal with the terroristic forces within its region of responsibility, a prerequisite (among many) for the "p. state" to be created. Oh yeah, you are them! (Oh yeah, so was Fatah!). "We are not lovers of blood". Oh yeah, cold-blooded murdering of babies and children is something you're compelled to do by your internal compass of justice. Fatah and Hamas, you have sold yourselves to do evil, and you cannot be allowed to win, or the heroes / founding fathers of your new "state" will be these blood-soaked demons. It would be a joke, if there was not so much at stake, and so many gullibles wanting to believe.
21. No sea ,just gas chambers and ovens
Marcel ,   Florida   (02.25.06)
The Palestinians have said enough to get U.S. funding to continue to flow. The promise not to drive Israel into the sea because they have settled on the European way of getting rid of the Jews. Much of Israel is stupid enough to help their enemeis in this final solution. Their adherence to the Bush Road Map is proof of this.
22. Shut up blood-thirsty monster!
Daisy ,   USA   (02.25.06)
You belong in Mecca or hell!
23. Abudullah; Typical Arab nonsense!
Daisy ,   USA   (02.25.06)
There is no comparision between Likud and hamass. Likud has never blown apart and targeted innocent women and children. Nor have they've called for the murder of all Arabs. The only extremism is on your side! The phony "Palestinians" should live in Kuwait becuase that is the area where they are from.
24. YES, you ARE LOVERS OF BLOOD
Jim Shortz ,   Jerusalem, ISRAEL   (02.25.06)
you dirty devilsand you lie constantly
25. Israel shouldn't recognized people that don't exist!
Palestiniansareamyth ,   USA   (02.25.06)
Neither Palestine or Palestinians exist. It's the biggest fraud in the history of the world! http://www.sullivan-county.com/id3/palestine.htm
26. Diaisy, yes, Likud DID target women.
(02.25.06)
and children. Coutless times. You guys here on this site would never be satisfied, if he says anything, it won't stand to your liking. You want Hamas to be seen as murders (they are not, you are) so that the world stays silent watching you butchering Palestinians. Shame on you Daisy, Gabrielle, Marcel, Jim, stefano. You are all in one pot. However, Justice will win, just watch!
27. Sad
George ,   Bethlehem   (02.25.06)
As a Christian Palestinian who believes in peace, I say that Israel made a big mistake by not reaching out to moderates. Now, we have the the hissing, green snakes of Hamas in all of our beds. Sad
28. HAMAS
dijkstra ,   bolsward nl   (02.25.06)
Hamas is a wolf in sheep clothes!!
29. Which Palestine should we recognize?
(02.25.06)
The Palestine that didnt accept the UN partition and started a totally unecessary war - and lost? The Palestine that asked its arab neighbours for help to attack us 3 times after that - and lost (all 3 times)? The Palestine that want it all their way, in total, or the highway? The Palestine that doesnt know what compromise means? The Palestine that winges about rights to which they are entitled but feels they can achive those rights by rejecting every single offer that comes their way and decides its better to blow woman and children to pieces? Some Palestine.
30. Anti-Semetic / Racist Lazy Daisy!
Abdullah ,   Kuwait City   (02.25.06)
Your both an Anti-Semite and a racist person and I care less of what you think of me, so do your self a favor and take a hike!
