6. THE NEXT FIGHT - AGAINST THE WORD "OCCUPATION"
Andrew ,   Miami, FL USA   (02.27.07)
OCCUPATION MEANS: A GROUP OF PEOPLE ARE NOT FROM A PLACE - BUT WHO HAVE COME TO A PLACE AND ARE SIMPLY HANGING AROUND FOR NO REAL REASON ISRAEL IS FROM ISRAEL
7. Soviet Games
malcolm   (02.27.07)
The Soviets are chomping at the bit to re-subsidize the heirs of their Arafat terror legacy. They did the usual KGB style coaching in deception. In the 70s they re-invented Arafat. They reconstructed his bio and said he was born in Jerusalem as opposed to the truth - Egypt. Arafat was trained by Romanian intelligence to lie to Carter by stating he "renounced terror" while still remaining a terrorist (see how well it worked 30 years later?) Now the same Soviets want to continue their pact with the devil. They are reinventing Meshal and showing him the deceptive style that works with the West. As we see from the ruthless behavior of Putin, the Soviets are alive and well in Mother Russia.
8. "All we are saying...is give Hamas a chance"
Bruce ,   Kentucky, USA   (02.27.07)
Russian diplomacy has officially entered the Age of Dhimmitude. Who cannot hear the Islamists constantly snickering behind the backs of the "infidels" they so blithely deceive?

13. Rabin wisdom
David ,   Ny-USa   (02.27.07)
If Rabin still there, he will meet soon with Mashal to sign a TRUE peace deal with the Ps people. Olmert is very WEAK PM.
14. Peace is doable only with Hamas
Ali ,   Palestine-Ramallah   (02.27.07)
I think that Hamas has changed its ideology. Peace is hold between enemies, not b/w friends. Israel MUST know that without recognizing a Ps State in the borders of 1967, with East Jerusalem as a caplital, peace is impossible. It seems that Hamas & Fatah started to play it wisely these days. the Israeli arguments that they don't have a partner in the Ps side is not a convincing argument for a sixth grade kid. Is Olmert prave enough to make peace, true peace, with the Ps people??? I am concerened that this P.Minsiter has nothing to offer in this regard, the Israeli government is very weak. Unlike the new Ps government, which has all the colors in it, the israelis would like to change there gov. every month. I am not sure that the Isr. Gov can really hold a permenant peace a greement.
15. Russia, Biggest Terror State In World
Yonatan Koss ,   Chiloquin, OR, US   (02.27.07)
Russians reach out and kill all of their detractors, like the case in Briton where they poisoned an ex-KGB agent turned author. With easily traceable nuclear fissionable materiel so there can be no mistake who did it. They sell missile defense systems to Iran and nuclear technology including sensitive and banned for export centrifuge machines for a weapons grade enrichment processes. They give state of the art anti-Tank weapons to Terrorists in Lebanon knowing that they will be used on Israeli tanks. Then they make a deal with the biggest Jew killing terror group in the known world, besides Russia. Anything the Russians do is against Israel and Jews in particular, after nearly a thousand years of constant pogroms Russia cannot go without Jewish blood for very long!
16. i'll believe it when i see it
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (02.27.07)
hamas' words are not worth the breath it took to utter them. actions will prove them liars or not, and if history holds true, liars they will be (not counting the whining of them when they claim they cannot control every "faction").
17. Lies cannot hold water for too long.....
(02.27.07)
The Palestinians are imploding into a vortex of their own mess. Palestinians as a Arab "nation" are a myth. The pressure to provide them with land should be put on their respective countries of origin: Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq. Yasser Arafat, to name one Palestinian, was born in Cairo.
18. And I thought there was already a ceasefire; silly me.

Does anyone still believe this crap? Other than Olmert and Peres?
21. Ummm...YAAAWWWWWNNNN

22. Those Yanks, great experts on Russia
Damir ,   Russia   (02.27.07)
Know little, talk a lot. What sholud we do to this Mashaal if he has come to Russia? Jail him and hand to Israel? We will not do that. He came with empty hands and left with empty hands. No kopeck was given him in cash because there is a blockade on that. Large bags of cash are still given to him from some of Arab states. All the promises were given by Mashaal so he is responsible for them. He had his talk. Let's see his walk.
23. Mike why do you always say (formerly USA)
AR ,   USA   (02.27.07)
Why? Your Israeli know just stick with that. Its not like people will like you more if we knew you used to be american. Anyways I hope this pans out for the better. (Of course like many of the israelis in the talkbacks i want to see it before i believe it) I believe If Hamas is able to stop all attacks on Israel from the PA Israel should respond bye removing checkpoints and slowley withdrawing from occupied territories. Dont get me wrong im not saying they should imediatly do this. It has to be a very well prepared gradual process because we all know the palestinians will have the ability to keep fight just like the Israelis do so why dont we try to work it out with as little blood shed as possible. Palestinians wont recognize Israel as a state as long as Israel is occupying them. Andrew you dont make any sense. ISRAEL IS FROM ISRAEL? West Bank occupied territory, Golan occupied territory, Sheba Farms occupied territory, Gaza Occupied territory. I know this is probably niave of me but im just trying to be positive for once in a talkback.
24. Hey Ali at #14
Aharon   (02.27.07)
I am going to laugh at you. That is a ridiculous sentiment Why you ask? Because that was put on the table by Barak (twice) to Arafat and Arafat twice refused. Hmmm... You see, its not because Palestinians want the 67 borders. No. Once you get that, you'll say Peace is just around the corner, at the 48 borders. And even if we did that, you know what? The mere fact a Jewish state exists and THRIVES pisses the Palestinians off like no other. So it'll have to be that ALL Israel is given to the PA and Palestine, for the first time in history. You guys have to sweeten the deal for us, not the other way around. You say its a 6th grader argument to say there is no peace partner. But how can there be if Hamas is committed to Israel's destruction? Where do you begin negotiating, tell me??? And please, cut the hudna - ceasefire BS. That is nothing. No Ali, you need to rethink this along with the rest of the Palestinians. Israel could be your friend, but you choose to make her your enemy.

26. #14...peace with Hamas...
DR ,   Florida, USA   (02.27.07)
Even if Hamas gave up their violent ways and their aggresion towards Israel, what happens with the other countless groups of terrorists that reside in Gaza and the West Bank? Will the Palestinian authority be able to control them and stop attacks on Jews? Think about it this way...if Mexico had rogue terror cells that the government could not control and these groups attacked the US, you bet your ass the US would occupy Mexico. Its that same thing....end violence and give up terror and you will have a state.
27. Read it closely people
(02.27.07)
Hamas didn't say anything and neither did Mashaal. This is just what the FM Lavrov stated. It amounts to nothing in the giant scheme of things. HAMAS still hates Israel and will continue to commit acts of terror. Business as usual
28. Hamas Russia talk
Onair Anas ,   New Delhi India   (02.27.07)
Russia is in hastie to advance its influence through the recognition of Hamas-Al Fatah deal. The most important thing is that Mecca agreement has proved that Arabs can solve their issues themself. Firsttime in history Saudi Arabia has taken a step against the will of its main ally; the United States. Negative reaction from EU and the USA gave Russia a chance to have direct talks with Hamas. I think Russia is goingto play a vital role atglobal level in coming years.
29. AR...you naive little dear
Aharon   (02.27.07)
I know you like to think that the reason the Palistinians wont recognize Israel is the 'occupation'. But you misunderstand what they mean...The Arabs mean that ALL of the land is being occupied by Israel. Not just the Gaza and West Bank but everything in between as well. There is no peace with these people. What have they ever put on the table other than 'ceasefire' which is broken not an hour after it is signed. Sure technically it is some 'faction' that did it, but honesty, you'd have to be a moron (or Olmert) to believe 'ceasefire'. They can barely ceasefire between themselves! Nope...until they REALLY offer something, I couldnt give a toss how bad it is for them. Hamas is bent on Israel's destruction and has not retracted that. The Palestinian people voted for Hamas. Ergo, Palestinian people want Israel's destruction (i.e. more violence against Israelis). Tell me again why I should care? These people want to harm me, my friends, my family and given half a chance they' would. Hamas would prove this promise of ending attacks by crawling from Russia to Jerusalem on broken glass, give all weapons to the IDF and have each militia member kiss Olmert's useless butt. When that happens, call me
30. #14, If the Arabs don't kill each other first.
Yonatan Koss ,   Chiloquin, Oregon   (02.27.07)
Yes the Arabs in the PA have all the colors, red from blood as they kill each other, black and blue from beating each other and green where they look at the fields in Israel with envy. You don’t make anything in Gaza but hate, you are the worlds largest welfare state and you teach your children how to kill themselves. Wow, what a resume! You would make a great peace partner for a snake pit!
