to excuse hamass' rabid anti-Jew philosophy

That's not a philosophy or an ideology. It's a psychosis.

"Senior Hamas official Dr. Mousa Abu Marzook said that removing the sanctions does not require compromising Palestinian principles." Um, yeah it does.

empty rhetoric by Arabs: "vow""demands""loyal" who needs them?

Do Palis realize that Hamas does not give them the best chane at peace, a state and a better life? When will they give up their hatred and violent ways and join the rest of the civilized world???

He should be arrested by Syria, turned over to the U.S. and sent to Sunny Camp X-ray, Cuba.

If the world were civilized, Hamas would not be permitted to exist.

He would take any opportunity to deal with terrorists. Solana should remember that when you deal with terrorists, they set up shop in your house and become a plague. They are terrorists precisely because they refuse to protect civilians and neutrals and instead attack them deliberately.

Hamas is certainly playing Russian roulette with the Palestinians and the peace process. How could anyone with any compassion for their own people let the economy and it's infrastructure fall into such shambles? Haniyeh is so egocentric and into his own world of control and comfort settings for himself. It is very evident that he is not sincere about the welfare of the Palestinian people. Abbas needs to get some back-bone and tighten the screws on this coward of a man and have him dethroned for the sake of the people he so vehemently calls his people's welfare.

Take that to Broussels mr Solana!
