3. Israel could manage
keren ,   sao paulo   (04.19.06)
somehow to gather all this Hamas beings ,tie them very tighly,put them in a plane,and jump them with parachutes into Siria,for example,to come back nevermore,starting ,this way,a very good fascine in Gaza and West Bank!
4. Hamas and Jordan
sandgroper ,   Australia   (04.19.06)
We should support Jordan's clampdown on terrorist activity. Jordan also has the greatest responsibility to alleviate the suffering of Palestinian "refugees" because Jordan's demographic composition is closer to theirs than any other nation. If they assist them to rehabilitate their lives and turn away from war and terror, they will benefit themselves, the cannon-fodder "refugees" and the whole world.
5. Ho, ho, ho, ha, ha, ha, can't trust "palestinians" ? Ho ho.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (04.19.06)
Did you forget the the "palestinians" tried to kill the king after they were given refuge in Jordan? Did you forget you couldn't trust them? Did you think they only wanted to kill Jews not take over the world? Ho, ho, ho, ha, ha, ha, this is too funny, just too funny.
6. anti-dote
John ,   NZ   (04.19.06)
..but Jordan did ask the anti-dote from Israel to save Khaled's life when he was poisoned by the Mossad.
7. Peaceful missiles ,bombs and automatic weapons
Marcel ,   Florida   (04.19.06)
Don't worry about a thing. These are all weaposn for the Road Map peace process. The weapons were being stored in Jordan as a trans-shipment point to their final destiniation in Israel for the cause of killling Jews for the peace process. Israel must remain limited and non responsive to terrorists attacks as this may harm the peace process. Israel must continue to surrender and retreat from their land for the peace.The docile and pacifist jew must not defend himself and must allow terrorists attacks as this is part of the peace process. The final solutionagainst Israel is under way under the lie of peace and as before the Jew's lie down and die without resistance. They won't even fight to defend themselves and have become a dominated people who love to bow to suicidal demands from a foreign superpower.
8. HAMAS agenda only STARTS with destroying Israel
howard ,   pacific coast, usa   (04.19.06)
HAMAS leaders are not Palestinian nationalists. They believe there should be a pan-Islamist caliphate -- meaning they would have to overthrow Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Egypt, etc. in order to achieve their goals. Israel is only the country at the top of their list. That said, this was evidently part of a HAMAS attempt to broaden its terrorist activities to include other countries in the region. These activities might be in support of al Qaeda, which is now creating cells in the territories, or they might be in rivalry with it. Either way, yes, this is a Bad Thing for everyone concerned. Bet this one won't show up in the world press though, because it shows what is REALLY going on in the territories. And that doesn't fit the preconceived script of a david-goliath struggle that the media likes to follow when dealing with the PA.
9. Arafat tries to take over Jordan first--
Steven Wilson   (04.19.06)
Now it's Hamas trying there turn. Whoopee!!!!
10. hamas is a regional threat
izzy f s   (04.19.06)
Egypt, Jordan, the arab league, the UN security council, Japan, the EU, Turkey and perhaps even Lebanon are beeginning to wary of these thugs... the restraint of the Olmert government has given other nations added license to speak and act. Havlagah!
11. #1
mike ,   usa   (04.19.06)
you said "palestinian terrorists" - it's a bit redundant because palestinian = terrorist.
12. the king sold palestine cheep
sami ,   palestine   (04.19.06)
who ever sold palestine to the jews soo cheep will never shake hand with hamas , jordan will always make excuses to please americans ,
13. No It doesn't look good...
BRANT ,   USA   (04.19.06)
But, for a different reason. I don't think this is at all about Palestinian terror to be dealt with by Jordan in Jordan. Rather, it seems, this is about Hamas using its Moslem Brotherhood connections inside Jordan as a staging area for weapons they would either then smuggle into the West Bank or even use from the Jordanian side of the border. How much more of this is it going to take before the west stops the diplomatic niceties and reads these people the riot act??
14. With the food comes the appetite
Faisel al-Jabotinski   (04.19.06)
Two banks of the Jordan, this one's ours this one too! Hah
15. the end
Yigal ,   USA   (04.19.06)
the end of the road for the little king is right ahead. Welcome to our reality,Jordan.
16. To Sami #12
Caroline ,   Israel   (04.19.06)
You people are famous for biting the hand which feeds you. None of your brothers-Arabs gave you full rights and citizenship, but Jordanian King. And now typically to your nature, you want to destroy those who showed compassion and good will toward you. Try the same in Syria, in Lebanon or in Kuweit from where you have been thrown out after your igniminious treachery. You don't understand that those who arm you and send to the jihad against the "infidels" are simply using your ignorance, blindness and rage. By your massive voting Hamas you destroyed the remnants of compassion the World still had to you. You are not good in anything - even in destruction, because you destruct yourself first.
17. Yup, just what I meant, Brant (#13)
sk ,   USA   (04.19.06)
I also wonder if they're crossing Israel, getting through Jordan border, then planing to reemerge in Judea / Samaria. But I don't know the geography well enough to tell... Anyway, lefties, soon enough you'll have some rockets ploughing right into Tel Aviv! Then I'll make sure to come back and suggest the Hassamniks expel you from TA. Maybe they'll ride there lovely German horses.
18. 12 sami : heavily on his camel crap again
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (04.19.06)
19. Jordan
Muhammad ,   Montreal   (04.19.06)
Jordan is a key ally of Israel, it will find excuses to not let Hamas enter.
20. 19 Muhammad: you always post crap
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (04.19.06)
