Why are people surprised that the head of the State Department may not consider hamas a terrorist organization? The State Department has a pro-Arab history, let's not forget that Saudi Arabia is probably their number one favorite nation. On the logical side, it is obvious that Ms. Rice did not mean to say that hamas was not a terrorist organization. Or did she mean this as a "Lapsus revelateur"? As for the Jew hating masses who seem to love posting on this feedback forum, please ask yourself a question: "Would you be able to voice your opinion in Iran or Saudi Arabia without fearing for the loss of your head?"

It should be known that Rice has been in bed with the oil/arab powers for many years. She did such good work for them, that she had a Tanker named after her.

Actually Linda is right. Notice how nobody, including your Blair has anything negative to say about the Saudis? Yet Blair's reputation is now clearly seen as an agent of the Saudis.The number 1 exporter of terrorism? Wahhabi terrorism. 19 of the 20 9/11 hijackers-- all Saudis. If you look at the nationalities of most of the terrorists globally---all Saudis. Saudis fund Hamas, Sunnis in Iraq and I dare say extremists in Lebanon because a free, democratic and even Christian Lebanon would be horrific to them in keeping their own people downtrodden and enslaved. Bush and any President or State Dept has never said anything negative about the Saudis? WHY? To some it is very obvious---OIL. The more oil money Saudis make the more they invest in the US and the more they pull the global political strings. Then as the politicians leave the US gov't employ, they end up on some Saudi govt payroll. See Carlyle Group. Our good friend James Baker and the eminent anti-semite biggest loser Jimmah Carter.---all bank rolled by Saudi $$ When Israel can export more oil than the Saudis, we will no longer hear about 2 state solutions and anti-semetism will no longer be fashionableor deadly.. Oh, it will always be there but oil is an amazing silencing tool. Israel-- develop an energy alternative and change the world's influence.-

Didn't you know, the Israeli-Palestinian issue is the central problem of the Middle-East? So somehow, if they screw us, the Middle-East will become peaceful. Iraqis will stop killing each other & embrace democracy, Iran will voluntarily give up it's quest for nuclear weapons, Sudan will stop it's genocide of black Africans, Lebanese will kiss & make up, & Saudi Arabia will immediately start preaching tolerant Islam. The Europeans like this idea - maybe the Arabs will stop burning cars in Paris & in Londonstan, they can take the underground without worrying about being blown up. And everyone (except us) will live happily ever after. Does this sound like a fairy tale? That's because it is.

Before I moved from Canada to Israel the small synagogue I belonged to had grafitti scrawled over the walls by anti-semites like you. Some of the graffitti was swastikas and "Jews to the ovens" ect. Yet there was also written Z.O.A. In your talkback #1 you also used Z.O.A.(Zionist Occupation Army). Also defiling the synagogue walls was the number 88(Heil Hitler). This is why you are a British David Duke. You use the same anti-semitic terminology. By the way any time you would like to come and try and remove from my house on the Golan(Israeli land) just let me know. Read the history of Gamla and Kastrin if you want to learn the truth about the true owners of the Golan.

you already posted these old news and irrelevant articles 1001 times. please stop abusing the forum and stick to the subject at hand...

Whats important is that those who use terrorism as their foregn policy do not get kudos or acknowledgement of any legitimacy.

I have learned if someone hates you , you should hate them back, so by her estimation the Klu Klux Klan or the Southern Rebels also qualifies as resistance movements and since she is at it, maybe the twenty of so thousand black men that were lynched between 1880-1920 (approx) were casualties of a legitimate war, or so our Sec of State is saying and speaking of Darfur who gives two plug nickels.

Like most Arab Muslims you can't get excited without thinking about the Jews. When are you going to boycott Zionist technology? Get a life!

For your information, ZOA was stated in the article to be the Zionist Organisation of America, as in the sentence "The ZOA leader pointed to a speech Rice delivered in October " I think that your mouth is a bit too close to the protocols and your brain is a little too eager to see swastikas where there are none. I would love to come and remove your house on the Golan and give it back to the rightful residents. Until then, I hope you bask in the guilt of living in dead peoples' property on expropriated land on an illegal settlement which is only held by force of arms and the permanent war of attrition raised by your the government of your adopted homeland. And by the way, next time - before you scream about the use of acronyms, do try reading the article, unless you really think that Mr Klein is a spokesman for the Zionist Occupation Army.

Hamas never targeted any americans or foreigners like al qaeda which is a terrorist organization. hamas only targets israelis in palestine, it is a resistance movement like the ones in every coutry under occupation. french resistance was considered terrorsim for the german occupation for example.

Forget about the mixup about "Z.O.A." You are still a Jew hater and a hater of Israel. Noone will remove me from the Golan and that includes a nut case like you. I wouldn't even have to use my revolver to chase you away. Just a simple snowball from todays storm would do the trick Try enlightening yourself and read about the history of Gamla and the 25 other Jewish towns that thrived on the Golan. Maybe(and thats a big maybe) you might learn something.

Rustum is not an Arab. everybody who opposes you is an arab, eh???

hamas is a resistance mvt ... TO CIVILIZED MANKIND.

Firstly, Linda Rivera (#6) must be a complete facist to advertise such outright anti-islamic ignorance. The majority of mulisms are not anti-semites, they are peace loving people, and the mojority of Iranians in particular hate their presedent, as the recent local elections in Iran have shown. I am asking the bloggers to step out this emotive state of mind and start thinking objectivly. What Dr. Rice says has little significance so let it go. It is time to start making peace, because the war has lasted too long. Those who seek peace have Britains full support. Good luck

if your brain was so much better than Rustum, why have you never learned how to spell?

B"H This is the outcome of the Saudi Plan, which integrates Hamas as a partner in the struggle towards Israel's destruction with ... Fatah. Its first clause is breaking the agreement to the Roadmap. That way both sides do not fulfil agreements and are therefore are positioned on more equal footing. This is the Saudi Arabia that the US sent in troops to defend when Sadam Husain was set to overthrow it. Now we are getting our kind thank you from them.

What is all the fuss about? First of all, let's face facts about terrorists, freedom fighters or resistance movement? It just depends on which side of the fence your sit. Secretary Rice's job is to look after USA interests and everyone knows that is OIL! The result of this is that the Administration appeases the Arabs and kowtows to the Oil State Emirs. The US is NOT fighting for democracy in Iraq; it is fighting to stop one of the biggest oil reserves in the world from falling into Islamic Fundamentalist hands. This could be seen as a "noble cause" if President Bush was to admit it. In doing this the USA needs the pot bellied Sheikhs to be on his side and thus the word "terrorist", when it comes down to terror attacks on Israel and Israelis, is shunned and more "politically correct" terminology is used. Those of you who watch the international news channels, CNN, Sky News, the BBC and Fox News, will note that the word "terrorist" is never used by the first three networks and Fox News only uses it in reports on Al Qaeda linked subjects. All the networks refer to Hamas, Islamic Jihad, El Aqsa Martyrs Brigade and so on as "militants". No doubt the revised terminology is the brainchild of Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud who owns more of the USA than any other person. You might remember his boast about a 30 second phone call to News Corp’s Rupert Murdoch which resulted in the IMMEDIATE change of Fox News' headline to “Poverty Riots in Paris” from “Muslim Riots in Paris”. Condoleezza Rice showed her true colors about Israel and the lives of Israelis when she forced Olmert and Co to accept the cease fire and leave Udi Goldwasser and Eldad Regev in the hands of Hezbollah. It should be remembered that after Al Qaeda, Hezbollah has killed more Americans than any other terror group. The USA attitude is further illustrated by their talk of a dead end "Road Map" while Gilad Shalit is being held by Dr. Rice's "resistance movement" friends, Hamas! The USA has as it motto "In God We Trust". In Israel it is "We Don’t Trust Anyone”.

How do you know Rustum is not an Arab? Everyone on your side is not Arab, eh?

Four legs gooooood! Two legs baaaaaaad!

I'm sorry but Israelis in a whole make me sick to my stomach. Are you people going to spend your whole lives chasing people down, demanding apologies for the smallest infraction of your collective paranioa? I think its safe to sat the whole world is sick of your crying. Remeber, us americans are your last friends on the face of the earth and probably the univesrse (im sure gods had it up to here as well) So try and play nice if you are gonna beg us for money every year.

Nr. 35, this person appears to be a follower of the facist Irgun policy. The area he currently stays is an illegal settlement and Syrian territory occupied by a war of aggression in 1967 by Gen. David (Dado) Elazar, later to become Rav Aluf.

The truth comes out of their mouthes like there is a holly power forcing them to say it , former and in power all started saying the truth .... all felt guilty for supporting some gangs in the past ... God bless everyone who stand beside the justice .... still alot to come .... Israel had many times the chance to live in peace but because the word peace is not in their language they ignored it and they will collect the result now .... Thank you Condi ... God bless you ... and don't let them to blackmail you like they do all the time .

you and your people seams has no more chance .... ask Jesus to forgive you .... you poor one .

If you read the article, you will find that US Jews, not Israel or Israelis, are protesting Ms. Rice's comments. An American Jew, no less than any other American, has the right to protest to their government. And as far as begging for handouts, the US contributes equally and in some cases far more to other countries than it does to Israel, despite the media nonsense to the contrary. Indeed, Israel and Israelis have given far more back to the United States, in both goodwill and technology, than most other countries. For example, other than ingratitude, I cannot think of a single positive thing that our almost $100 billion per year spent in Iraq has obtained. At least the Israelis are our friends.

if you think the moosilums will spare you your kiding yourself. even chirst has to answer to G-D

Would you call the IDF an army? Of course not, because it's a gang of murderers and thieves.

AND WHY ARE THE REALLY READIND YNET, AN ISRAELI SITE? I THINK THEY ARE JEALOUS OF THE CHOSEN PEOPLE. THEY WANT TO BE US. I AM SO GLAD I WASNT BORN A GENTILE!! LIVING IN THE SHADOWS OF JEWS SHOULD BE HARD. GOD BLESS ISRAEL AND AMERICA!!

or foreign ministers.They are the dumbest of the dumb! I bet even rustum or rectum could wind up as foreign minister.
