1. good going Rice
American ,   USA   (10.12.06)
you are on the right track. thank you. make us proud to be Americans again.
2. I had a dream
tommy ,   belfast UK   (10.12.06)
"I know that sometimes, a Palestinian state living side by side in peace with Israel must seen like a very distant dream but I know too ... that there are so many things that once seemed impossible that after they happened they simply seemed inevitable," she said. Then I woke up
3. NOTICE WHAT ELSE SHE SAID
read ALL words ,   USA   (10.12.06)
Despite the inflammatory heading and the opening paragraphs of the Reuters article, Rice addressed, not only the occupation, but also the necessity for Palestinians to free themselves from corruption, misrule, violence and terrorism. In fact, notice how Rice calls out Hamas on their two-faced, terrorist-affiliated approach. The relevant quote, sadly, is hidden in the 3rd to last paragraph, and present nowhere in either title or subtitle. How typical of the media (like the Palestinian leaders and spokespersons) to focus almost solely on the Israeli obligation to end occupation, without acknowledging - or apparently understanding - how critical it is for Palestinians to fulfill a JOINT AND SIMULTANEOUS obligation to end violence and terror emanating from the territories.
4. Free America!
marya ,   sacramento, USA   (10.12.06)
from the "daily humiliation" of the Arabist State Department!! G-d Help us from the likes of Conduh! Leeza and the CFR anti-Semites!! Legacy, smegacy!!! "There could be no greater legacy for America than to help bring into being a Palestinian state for people who have suffered too long, have been humiliated too long," added Rice, Lay of the Khat Condaleeza or whatever it is you've been eating or smoking. There will never be a Palestinina State "beside " Israel. Palestinians would never allow it!!!
5. she sounds like haniyeh & co.
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (10.12.06)
what the palestinians "deserve" is a function of what their deeds are. if terrorism is what they are all about, then "deserving" a state is not even close. palestinians should thank their allah every day for not getting everything they "deserve".
6. Jaw jaw, blah blah. That's all folks.
Persian CAT   (10.12.06)
7. Abbas is not a moderate and NONE are coming forward !
redmike ,   tel aviv   (10.12.06)
this type of comment needs to be contested before it gets repeated and repeated and finally gets accepted as ‘fact’. Write to newspapers and friends, blog and post in places like this. Abbas is NOT a moderate and he seeks the destruction of Israel and just his means of achieving it are different. He says one thing for non Arab audiences and another for Arab speakers. Worldwide there are NO signs of moderate Arabs. Michael
8. Rice wants us to play nice?
(10.12.06)
They are in control of the 'humiliation' they find themselves in. They should be courting us, not the other way around. The more we allow Palistinians to demand and demand adn gice credibility to such demands, we wont know peace. She should have harped on one issue and one alone - DO YOU WANT PEACE WITH ISRAEL? if yes, then accept that Israel is a state and lay down your weapons. if no, then too bad.
9. Isn't it strange?
Andras Bereny ,   Kfar Tapuah, Shomron   (10.12.06)
Isn't it strange that this "palestian state" just doesn't seem to materialise? Rice wants it, Bush wants it, olmert wants it, Abbas wants it, the so called "pals" want it, the "international community" wants it, "the quartet" wants it, unifil wants it, Solana wants it, Chirac wants it, Putin wants it, Prodi wants it: Yet - nothing. Perhaps that's because the King of kings, the G-d of Israel, blessed is He, doesn't want it and gave the Land of Israel to the Jews! Hm? Remember, you've read it somewhere?
10. Pallywood is EVERYWHERE
CJ ,   USA   (10.12.06)
I cannot believe YnetNews chose to publish the Reutors version of this story. The quotes were fit together in a very provocative way.
11. Lies, incompetence and blind hatred
Ben Temalion ,   Shiloh, MO USA   (10.12.06)
Who would think the leadership of the department of hate would support this generation's designated Jew killers. Never mind they come from a peninsular homicidal hamite homeland by their own name and even the more recent history of abbas' paying for the terror from before Munich, during and after with his egyptian partner, the face of the mythical people arafat. Never mind the murderers in suits. IL continues to make itselfd vulnerable by not voiding all agreements and expelling those who come to Kill you with immoral support from US.
12. who is occupying Gaza?
Jonathan ,   NY, USA   (10.12.06)
last I heard Israel pulled out of Gaza, so Gaza is not exactly occupied. So this is no longer a convenient excuse to kill mame and murder Jews. But let's not confuse Rice with the facts that after the pull out, the PALs stepped up their Qasam rocket attacks. Let's not confuse the issues that after Israel left Gaza, the PALs continue to build tunnels to smuggle weapons and bombs, let's not confuse ourselves that after Israel pulled out the PALs kidnapped an Israeli solder and is now holding him for ransom, the ransom being to let out of Israeli jails known and convicted murderers and terrorists. Yes let's not be blinded by the facts, the PALs are really peace loving, hey, they democratically elected Hamas by a large majority, they must be ok, right?
13. palestinian people
izaak   (10.12.06)
the palestinian people en masse must recognize jewish safety and unlimited sanctuary in the land promised to the jews through abraham and share peace and security with the people of the idea of the better world
14. Humiliation
MaMa ,   Israel   (10.12.06)
Palistinians humiliate THEMSELVES with terrorist activity!!!
15. may she be humiliated
Ron ,   England   (10.12.06)
may she come to know what humiliation is - that's all
16. appeasement doesn't work
Michael   (10.12.06)
17. Someone shut her up .. We dont need her mercy !!!
fadi ,   lebanon   (10.12.06)
just stop the support to israel and leave the rest to us !!!! i wonder if chavez was correct about describing Bush as the devil ... Bush is the idiot .... Rice is the devil that takes several faces depending on situation !!! If she knows that palestenians are living in humilation why doesnt she act !??
18. 12 right and remember
Ben Temalion ,   Shiloh, MO USA   (10.12.06)
90% of the RECLAIMED '67 land that would protect you was brokered away for nothing but bringing the homicidal Hamites closer to your heart. Land that was never designated as a pal homeland by the nations united. Ishmael is humiliated and still wants what was not intended for he whose hand is against all men.
19. Better in the US than in Gaza
Hiram ,   Turku   (10.12.06)
There are more Palestinians abroad than in Palestine. Some of them have chosen to live close to the heart of " the great satan " .... Interesting no ....? PS: some of them have also chosen to live in Saudi Arabia , close to the heart of the "corrupted Saudi regime ".... Should nt they be joining the " fight " for Palestine ?
20. Palestinians to be freed of evil terrorist ideology
KMR ,   Middle East   (10.12.06)
21. Rice Has No Right To Dictate Policy
emanon ,   USA   (10.12.06)
I realy don't care what *ANY* outside politician wants for the soverign nation of Israel. Any decision concerning the terrorists and Israel should be dependant on 1) the terrrists disarming and 2) what Israel want to do. Maybe that is part of the peace problem. If a third prty is imposing its will on Israel and the Arab nations of the Middle East, no wonder no one is happy! Iagine Abbas saying that the state of Arizona should be divided into two states so the Yaqui refugees from Mexico have a homeland. Everything between Mexico and Casa Grande belongs to the Yaqui People. I don't think the American government would be happy about that, I know the majority of Americans would be unhappy about that and I'm not so sure the Yaqui people would want that either.
22. Rice says
silvio ,   italy   (10.12.06)
The Palestinians humbles with yours hands trying to kill the Israelis. The State from Israel is of the descendants of Mosè. The Palestinians creates the own state in the Arabic territories. The notable extension of the Islamic territories allows them of create a country as it is more convenient to them.
23. Sorry Mrs Rice, we will never forgive you
atmawi ,   Historic Palestine   (10.12.06)
and your administration policies. Teh damage you cause to our cause is so radical. You are so biased to Israel, and all what we here from you is same game. When you talk to Israelies you talk agreements, maps, and bonds. When you talk to us, you promise and promise and keep promising. Same Sh**t different politician.
24. The State Department
(10.12.06)
belongs on the U.S. list of terrorist organizations.
25. the Americans will never learn
Yisraeli   (10.12.06)
though the american people have more sense and logic then theyre administration. Unfortunately I see america coming down it wont survive being the superpower. Sad to see when you look back at history and see on what basis she was founded.
26. i prefer

27. Rice, Madam Half-Bright and James Baker
RIB ,   USA   (10.12.06)
"The Palestinian people deserve a better life, a life that is rooted in liberty, democracy, uncompromised by violence and terrorism, unburdened by corruption and misrule and forever free of the 'daily humiliation of occupation'," she told a dinner organized by the 'American Task Force on Palestine'. (American Task Force for Palestine??) When the Hell did Palestine become a Sovereign Nation?? What about an 'American Task Force' for Kurdistan??? What has she been reading other than Noam Chomsky? I don't care WHAT she meant! She needs a job as a cashier! If the Sec of State "CAN'TGET IT"- then GET OUT!! This is Total, Absolute and UNACCEPTABE B/S! First- http://netanyahu.org/itsnotterstr.html Now look at how 'Cleverly' this thinking works out -http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=14858 http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=20215 History in a Nutshell: http://www.conceptwizard.com/conen/conflict_2.html Who doesn't get it? Rice, Albright and (coming on board) James Baker. You remember him, "F - - k the Jews, they don't VOTE for us"! Sounds alot like Kofi! The only thing they HAVEN'T said 'out loud' is "DEATH TO ISRAEL"!!! And Allah Akbar!!! GOT CANDY??? http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=17357 Just what is the Program?
28. Condi is a fraud. She opposes a Kurdish state.
Dan Meyers   (10.12.06)
Hey Condi, 2800 Americans have been killed in Iraq. Zero Americans have been killed in the Kurdish section. Dont you think the Kurds deserve a state? Everyone go to www.kurdmedia.com This site has great articles about the Kurds.
29. 21 - rice has say because of $ given to both
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (10.12.06)
if israel or palestinians gave large amounts of cash to america, they would have influence over american decisions. get rid of monetary help and you won't have much bother from america. simple.
30. REUTERS AGAIN??
al mann ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.12.06)
My previous response was in error. I take back everything I wrote. My opinion was based on a lying news source, REUTERS, which YNET continues to use in spite of its past history. Reuters has lied in the past and has not even apologized for its mistakes, yet, YNET (Yediot Achronot) continues to use them. This shows real loyalty to its readers.
