1. ultimatum
hani ,   montreal   (05.27.06)
hamas fears to be asked about obligations vis-a-vis the pal.population:it is easier to collect money as donations & to launder the money for other purposes.They are dependant of the same maestro, who allows or not what to act or not.They are indifferent to the complains of the pal. citizens:the most important thing:the clan or sect is living comfortable and the rest can die, hein Mr.Haniyeh???

happen
6. So Hamas are seen as open to talk, but they never really...
Joy Springreen   (05.27.06)
Hamas never had any intention. They have their own agenda for the middle east and thats it. Abbas is always entertained and then afterwards portrayed as out of touch, as they consistently refusing him after "listening top what he has to say", pretending to chew it over (Hamas members have a cup of coffee together in silence for a while) then always say "no". The truth being he is actually a lot more in touch with the reality of the situation in international terms. Hamas are Islamist isolationists. Abbas, age, wisdom, grandfather. palestinians ask yourself; Why is the exchange of fire happening between hamas and Fatah. What do Hamas want to oust, why are they perpetually implenting more and more armoured units everywhere, stockpiling weapons, threatening with talk and action. .....they appear to be perpetually attempting to oust your president. or at least wearing him down and weakening his political credibility.

Michael ,   Haifa   (05.27.06)
Maybe Gabrielle Goldwater of Geneva Switzerland and the Hamas do not want the plan...i assume that they would rather see blood (each, the other side's, of course)
8. 4 Muhammad-Ali: Israel is a recognized State
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (05.27.06)
but the Palis are not - so it is up to them to make an effort NO one else But in fact who cares what you post - you are just a bug in a rug with the rest of them
9. Want the truth? Hamas doesn't want a Palestinian state
Arab Warrior ,   Hamastine   (05.27.06)
They just lust for power. The more you Palestinians suffer, the better off they'll be. With peace, they will againbecome the nobodies that they are.
10. to muHAMed #4
Arie   (05.27.06)
Given that there is NO pali peace partner the whole issue is a non-starter. And by the way - 10 days is more than enough time for hamass to turn around and say they are more concerned about the the future of the pali people than they are about siphoning hundreds of thousands of euros to private accounts to finance their personal lifestyles!
11.  pali "nation"
Vorax   (05.27.06)
.. heroes of a nation are in enemy's jail .. vital supplies of a nation are in enemy's hands .. cities of a nation are controlled by criminals and enemy's agents .. elected leaders of a nation are proud terrorists, not welcome in any normal counrty .. children of a nation dream of death not life .. source of money of a nation is ransom or scrap, not work .. religion of a nation is death cult .. future of this nation is oblivion
12. 7 Michael, Haifa: Did Gush Shalom give you a day off ?
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (05.27.06)
You are a sick puppy - get off your medication - and start to think before you post - otherwise you just sound like a bug in a rug
13. 11 Vorax :You said it all - The Left Michael should read you
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (05.27.06)
the Left and Arabs - are a sick lot

Michael ,   Haifa   (05.27.06)
1) I do not belong to Gush Shalom 2) I cannot compete with your competency in being foul-mouthed 3) I do not reside in a country which cooperated with the Nazis during World War II
16. 15 Michael: NO you only take a big foul mouth here
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (05.27.06)
You are the Left as she lives. We have people like you in our conferences - Radio - and the work I do for over 40 years for and with Israel - As holocaust survivor I have seen it all - and I am the first one who is active here to assure Israel gets it's right attention in switzerland the one who helps to file motions to not fund terrorism - and it's factions It is NOT you who fights for Israel here - but myself - all you do - is throw off your mouth It is those like myself in Switzerland that have the courage to bring knowledge about Israel to the Media - the Government - etc... Now what do you Do for the Jews and Israel ??? All I see is silly posts from you
17. #4 Muhammad - 10 days?
Robby ,   San Jose, Ca   (05.27.06)
10 days is MORE THEN ENOUGH - According to the Arab world they have had 58 years to decide. As for Israel not wanting the Palestinians as a partner - Hamas has choosen not to recognize Israel - what the hell are you talking about?
18. Abu Mazen
Ivri   (05.28.06)
Another terorist just like the rest of them....only without bad hair days.
19. You're so full of it muhammad-ali
Michelle   (05.28.06)
20. PEACE DOESNT REQUIRE REFERENDUMS
IMAD ,   GAZA   (05.28.06)
INFACT,PEACE DOESNT REQUIRE PAPERS TO ATTEST FOR IT. ALL NEEDED IS A COURGEOUS WILL FROM BOTH SIDES TO ACHIEVE PEACE AND FIGHT HARD FOR IT THROUGH ACTIONS RATHER THAN WORDS
21. what we do for israel? answer to #16
raffi goldberg ,   haifa   (05.28.06)
We live in the country, we go to the army, we pay our taxes. How dare you lecture israelis about israel from geneva? It is indecent, gross and obnoxious. We are Israel and you are nothing but a swiss bourgeois trying to make us forget that she doesn't live in israel
22. Michael why dont you go and make nice to hamas terrorists
Eliezer ,   Kiryat Ono, Israel   (05.28.06)
23. Gabrielle Goldwater, Geneva, Switzerland
Michael ,   Haifa   (05.28.06)
I'll tell you what Ive done for Israel. Among other things I have fought in three wars for my country and was wounded in one of them; I have worked here for decades contributing to the building up of the country. You, on the other hand, sit off the "fat of the land" in an antisemitic country and have the bloody nerve to be offensive against my right to express my political views that happen to be different from your own. In a way I ought to be happy that you are not one of my fellow citizens and be glad to let you wallow in your own venomous, hate-spewing and pathetic little life in Switzerland.
24. Ramzi Bethlehem
yakov shani ,   IL.   (05.28.06)
Ahalan, Ramzi. What is your opinion on this ? What is the solution ? It seems no matter what Israel or Abu Mazen say or do it will be rejected. Is it not possible for the people to take control instead of the failed leaders that you always seem to have, elected or otherwise. There is a law of nature, adapt or die.
25. 23 Michael,Haifa: Spewing Hate is the Left AGAIN
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (05.28.06)
Having served in the forces one would think you would NOT support the enemy within - but we saw the same during the holocaust - sad The Liberal Left - In the name of Social Justice - helps willingly without admitting - Terrorism, by appeasement ! (in capitals). Terrorism becomes to the Left automatically finally acceptable. Islamic Jihadists etc.are acceptable partners..... at the most just a nuisance as the Left believes - we should not focus on. There is a craving in them for totalitarian systems. The Liberal Left never wakes up to reality before horror strikes - rather accepts same as the inevitable. The people's suffering, in this case Jews beeing murdered - dying is of no consequences - Freedom in the real sense exist not in the Lefts vocabulary, as we fathom each single time. The Left's idea of Freedom is simply just the absence of war, no matter what or how. The Left has not yet comprehended ..... Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice. The name of peace is sweet, and the thing itself is beneficial, but there is a great difference between peace and servitude. Peace is freedom in tranquillity, servitude is the worst of all evils, to be resisted not only by war, but even by death. (the last said by Cicero) The Liberal Left falls into their common servitude of appeasers - yes, the worst evil of all. Finally the Left excuses Mass Terrorism - Islamic cruelty, demonizing instead the victim as we daily see in the Media - A Media so utterly brilliant in pushing the Left to the forefront - while the conservatives are demonized. That's the Left's so called Democracy and Freedom. The most they will do is celebrate 60 years later conferences with speeches and shout - Never Again - void of any deeds and actions - until the next time. But at the same time urging us to turn the page, negotiate anything whatever what with the enemy who wants to destroy us by any means, since The Left have said Sorry and gave us a moment of celebrating our losses. .......... That such turning of the proverbial page of mass murder, genocide of humanities roots isn't acceptable to the victims doesn't strike their conscience, isn't embedded in their poor souls.... The Liberal Left - our 5th column in our society - wanting to live on a perfect planet - sadly enough lives on another planet - far removed from reality - far removed from the Real Freedom. What the Left has yet to understand The idea of living in a Free Society is a powerful source of strength (strength they some how don't seem to possess) - but it demands a constant willpower to stand up for that Freedom, to conserve it - it is a precious gem, as those know who were/are deprived of it. Freedom is/was not gained via preaching - but via actions - actions that demand strength and character. The Left when it comes to character shows themselves as a 'Society of Fears' which reaches out to appease in order to overcome fear. Whereas this divides them from those who will take the responsibility to stand Tall - stand up to BE and defend A Society of Freedom. Therefore - The Liberal Left - see those in Free Societies - those of conservative Belief - as their enemies and Foreign Dictators and Totalitarians as their friends and partners. History is the silent proof of Ashes that should be shouting out loud - we have a duty to the generations to come - to turn this soil over to them with the Freedom our Forefather had fought for. But Michael - The Red - has not yet understood reality of survival and real Freedom.
