1. and kassams are proof palestinians want peace?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (11.17.06)
israel withdrew completely from gaza, left an open border with egypt so the palestinians could build their state unhindered. what did they do? rockets, terror, kidnap. that's peace, palestinian style. and, NO, israel doesn't want that. who would?
2. This is laughable!!
Michael   (11.17.06)
The head of the Arab entitly calling itself the P.A. has repeatedly said they will not reecognize Israel's right to exist. after all the undeserved gifts /concessions Israel has made/given. They have the chutzpah to say Israel doesn't want peace?!
3. Peace
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (11.17.06)
And Haniyeh's grand pronouncement that the plan had good points is proof that the Palis want peace? Yeah, right! .... and Eichman loved his mother.
4. palestinians continue to embarass themselves.
DR ,   Florida, USA   (11.17.06)
The ass-backwards leadership of the Palestinian people continues to show the world how trully hypocritical they are. Firts they say they won't recognize Israel and that they'll contune the "resistance" (terror), then they point fingers at Isarel for not wanting to play along? When will Israel take this thorn out of their sides? Palestinians are ruining the middle east.
5. WOW
Natan ,   USA   (11.17.06)
This guy is a real MORON. Missles flying all over, no recognition of Israel and it is Israel that does not want peace. What a shcmock!!!
6. Erakat
Natan ,   USA   (11.17.06)
we don’t need a new initiative. What we need is a mechanism for implementation and timelines,” he said. Can I remind you that Hamas rejects all prior agreements??? Get your own house in order first
7. PEACE AND QUIET
Brant ,   Hilton Head USA   (11.17.06)
What a nice statement from the mand responsible for the resumption of Qassam attacks and the smuggling of serious weapons and the alliance with Iran. One can just imagine what Hamas will do with that period of "stability and quiet" Haniyeh suggests the Israelis don't want..
8. Haniyeh's crap
Brod ,   USA   (11.17.06)
What a crap! This terrorist leader is leading an organization whose Charter calls for the destruction of Israel. He should have been jailed a long time ago.
9. # 1,2,3
Faris ,   Ramallah   (11.17.06)
Guys ; The problem is that you Israelis have always concentrated on the surface of the problem and never looked deep to the origin of the conflict.. You are bombing Gaza and Gazians are shooting rockets at Israel and that is normal in a war like this.. However, you need to understand that as long as you keep ignoring our rights in the land (all the land) occupied on 1967, how do you expect us to recognize Israel??? If one day you decide to go for real peac and withdraw completly from Gaza AND the west bank (all the west bank) then we will go for it, and if you decide to continue this war, we are also for it and never ever think that you demolish our identity as Palestinians, whatever force you have, that will not happen.. So the shortes path for peac IS you guys get the hell out of our land and let us put an end to this shit..
10. Hamas and Hezb'allah (descriptions of peace.)
Petra ,   USA   (11.17.06)
They are the figureheads of all radical Muslims who are avowed to the total destruction of Israel. Like madmen who repeat the same behavior expecting a different outcome, they deny the existence of the only partner for peace, Israel. Irans President denys the Holocaust. One visible, oil rich leader in the world whose hatred outweighs his sanity and thinks he can convince others of his peaceful use for nuclear arms, while threatening to "wipe Israel off the face of the map." (The majority of their financial backers are silent partners in their crimes against the state of Israel and all others they want to dominate.) They spin their wheels of war and lies and propaganda, starve their people, while taking billions of dollars meant to better the plight of the "poor Palestinians" and spend the money on weapons. They remain slaves to hatred that produces only empty chants of " death to America "death to Israel". We can see for ourselves the evidence they produce. Israel is the only one who initiated avenues for peace. Israel has paid dearly for her outreached hand for peace. What has she gotten in return? More missles, Lebanon, an unprovoked attack on Israeli civilians-Gaza uprisings, all timed to 'assist' their masters, Iran and Syria. ( not to mention the $$$s from the Saudis and others) So, this liars lies wont convince anyone but the mutually mad to 'play along' ... What do they offer for peace? What? Please someone tell me..
11. DR : "Palestinians are ruining the middle east".
(11.17.06)
Very, very funny. Last time I check, Tsahal was the army that destroyed part of Beyrouth, Gaza, Ramallah and is very excited of sending some bombs on Ispahan and Teheran. The palestinians are only ruining the smoothy occupation of their land Israel wants. This people is oppressed and don't recognize the legitimacy of their oppressor. It sounds quite logical. Moreover Israel dosen't repsect any of the UN resolutions. But that's not your problem, right ?
12. #1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
(11.17.06)
The world is waiting for an answer, WHY ISRAEL IS REJECTING EURPEAN PEACE PLAN ? I know you don't have a good answer, so F*** OFF.
13. 9 hey ferris- what about the terror and killing before 1967?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (11.17.06)
before there was any occuaption? you cry "occupation" like a broken record but the call to kill jews predates '67 and even '48. it's not the occupation, it's your hate.
14. Haniyeh finally speaks the truth
Marcel ,   Florida   (11.17.06)
The Hamas leader is correct. Israel does not want peace ,the corrupt traitors who rule Israel would have targeted this terrorist leader for assassination long ago to send a message to all terrorists. Israel by FORCEFUL military power could defeat the terrorists ,but chooses instead to reward their enemies. Israel by appeasment and surrender and following the failed peace scheme of the U.S. INSURES war and not peace. So ,a living ,breathing Haniyeh is proof that 6 years after the Oslo-Road Map war began, Israel does not want peace.
15. Hamas sucks!
Jellybean ,   Chicago   (11.17.06)
This guy is a joke. Israel don't want peace! All Hamas has to do is recognize Israel! He can't even do that. This guy is a hippocrate! and another thing the Europeans will not get far in this deal, they can not even solve their own problems in their own backyard (ie: Bosnian war) instead the Americans had to interviene, it was in Dayton, Ohio where the peace accords were signed. Also you get nowehere helping people like this. The more you help them (terrorists and that is what Hamas are) the more they backstab you. Look at the US when they supported at one time the taliban and afganistan (including Osama bin laden) we got screwed and terrorized. Just wait the Europeans will get their turn. If they want to kill each other fine, because at one point when they are tired of it let them make the intitative to peace. Actions speak louder than words! and when most Arabs talk it is just words with no action!
16. "Peace"
Joe ,   Israel   (11.17.06)
You idiot. Who are we going to make peace with? Terrorists who state that they will never recognize Israel's right to exist? Terrorists who continually fire rockets at innocent civilians? Stop all of that. Comply with ALL of the "Palestinian's" previously made commitments. Then we'll see who wants peace.
17. Proof Positive about Intl. "Peace keepers"
malcolm   (11.17.06)
If Haniyeh wants "peace keepers" it proves they are there to help terrorists.
18. #9: That Was Tried
emanon ,   USA   (11.17.06)
And what did you say: "Nice appitizer. We want more." NO MORE LAND Further, you were given perfectly good land in Gaza, complete with an infrastructure on which a peacful economy copuld be started. What did you do? Destroy it and use the land as a launching base for more terror. In short, you are a liar, your people are liars and I do not belive you or your representatives at all.
19. 12 you want to know why?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (11.17.06)
because the palestinians have not begun to comply with any of the other peace plans, agreement, commitments, road maps, etc. why should israel accpet another plan when still waiting for palestinians to honor any of the others? we don't need more plans, we need palestinians to start doing what they said they would do on those agreements they signed!
20. # 12
Natan ,   USA   (11.17.06)
Can you show me ONE peace plan that the Palestinians accepted. They screwed up and rejected every offer that was proposed to them...It is time that the world undesrstand that the Palestinians are very big on words and very small on deeds...
21. Hamas Refuses to recognize Israel
Mark ,   USA   (11.17.06)
He will not give up on violence and he says Israel is against peace. Israel and Hamas are playing basketball. Hamas is bringing the back to Israel's court.
22. #11 and #12 still denying history and facts...
DR ,   Florida, USA   (11.17.06)
Palestinians were offered a two state mandate in 1948, right? What did they say? NO, NO, NO.! Meaning no peace with Isarel. Israel then offered them the best deal in town with Ehud Barak, right? What did they say? NO, NO, NO! Meaning, no peae with Isarel. We tried, you said not. What else besides leaving, would you have Isarel do? Palestinians continue to tech their kids (in school) to hate Isarel. They teach them that dying is good (fuckin crazy), and they teach them to celebrate Israeli deaths again(fuckin crazy). The world can see this ass-backwards culture does not want peace...only death to Isarel, but yet you expect Isarel to make concessions??? You're idiots and there is no talking or reasoning with poeple like you...only war!
23. Hey man .. Did Israel recognized the Pals ??
Faris ,   Ramallah   (11.17.06)
When you recognize our right in the land occupied in 1967, then come and ask us to recognize Israel !! Or at least, tell us IF we recognize Israel that you would recognize our right in this land that was judged by the UN security councile 242, 338 and even the right to return 194 !!
24. Arafat did recognized Israel, what did you give him?? FINGER
Faris ,   Ramallah   (11.17.06)
So stop the crap !!
25. To Faris # 9
Jay ,   USA   (11.17.06)
You and the rest of the Palestinians are full of crap!! There are some questions that you will never have the guts to answer, because you are all liars!!! you have one goal and one goal only and it is the destruction of Israel.. You are too much of a coward so you hide behind some slogans like "peace" rights" and on and on.. If you so wanted, as you claim, a state in the west bank and Gaza then why didn't you demand it from Jordan prior to the '67 war??? Unless, ofcourse, you mean ALL of Israel is what you want. But you are too much of a coward to admit it...
26. Have the Palestinians ever done anything positive?
Mike Jefferson ,   Washington, D.C.   (11.17.06)
Throughout the modern conflict, have the Paleonazis ever made any significant concessions? Have they made any positive contributions to humanity? Apart from the anti-Semitic Europeon sympathizers and leftists, do the Paleonazis garner any support? Though it seems a bit over-simplistic, Golda's words ring true... "Peace will come when the Arabs love their children more than they hate us."
27. HOW TO NEGOCIATE WITH HAMAS
ANA MARIA ,   LATIN AMERICA   (11.17.06)
CAN YOU NEGACIATE WITH SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO DESTROY YOU AS SOON AS THEY CAN??? PALIS ARE NAIVE OR STUPID. WOULD THEY NEGOCIATE UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS???? THE WORLD KNOWS WHO IS HANIYEH AND HIS INTENTIONS AND WE UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO START NEGOTIATIONS WITH THAT TERRORIST NOW.
28. AND HE WANTS ISRAEL??
(11.17.06)
29. kik out weak Haniyeha
(11.17.06)
he waited all this time to present such a great discovery “Is proof that Israel doesn’t want any form of stability or quiet in the region.”
30. To #9 and #12
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (11.17.06)
For one thing, I'm neither an Israeli nor Jewish. For another, I suggest that you go back a few years and read the history of the place. You've pissed away every chance you ever had to create a country. You've had the same 58 years as Israel, and what do you have to show for it? Slums and a dumbed-down population. You're not even smart enough to realize that you're being used by your own brothers, the Arabs. As long as they can keep you tied up tilting at windmills, they won't have to deal with you. God knows you should show up at their front doors. Oh, I forgot, they've, already, kicked you out. Israel could disappear into thin air tomorrow, and your "leaders" would, still, steal you blind and only get you riled up at somebody else. Why? Because that's more profitable than to govern. And if you don't like the way you're being treated by Israel and the world, ask yourselves why or complain to allah. Maybe he'd listen, if you started to pray a little more fervently for the solution of your self-created problems than for the destruction of somebody else.
