1. Approved to uphold the right to "all forms" of resistance.
ben ,   singapore   (03.17.07)
Olmert do you AGREE to this kind of UNITY of Terrorist MIND ? Islamic PEACE IN Succession form Terrorist to Terrorist UNITY GOVT by a Terrorist Parliament supported by the Isareli Arabs Mk's !
2. Israel is without leaders
Ali ,   Falasteen-Ramallah   (03.17.07)
Obviously, Israel now does not have powerful leaders. The president, Katsav, is invloved in sexual issue, the PM is invloved in corruption issues. What kind of peace these leaders can make??? The ideal solution for them is blaming the Ps. However, the roles of the game have been changed and the cannot claim that there is no partners on the Ps side. Even Hamas is willing for peace deal now. If Hamas says explicitly that they recognize Israel and all the violance attaks are stopped, What Israel is willing to offer??? Israel is concerned because it is the time for paying the peace bill, the Israeli propoganda and twisting the truth will mnot work anymore.
3. ISRAEL Loves Hamas
Allam ,   Ramallah   (03.17.07)
Everyone should know that Israeli loves Hamas because : 1. Israel helpd strengthining Hamas when first it was created Mid eightys. If you dont beleive this ask your PM whom was in power at that time. 2. Israel undermined Fatah by sieging and killing Yaser Arafat. 3. Never really helped Abbas againt Hamas, all Abbas heared from Israel was BS and Israel never stopped killing Palestinians everyday and never stoped sieging them in thier towns and homes. 4. Israel loves Hamas because they constitute Israel strong tool to punish the people of Palestine. WHy? Because Hamas is a terrorist group? Ok, but did Hamas shot one bullet since two years against Israel? The answer is NO, so why all this negative propaganda Israel is conducting againts Hamas? Hamas is even less harmful than Fatah armed groug !!! 5. It's clear to everyone in the world that Israel loves bloodshed and the talks about peac now is BS. Unless Israel changes its aggressive mintality, then the armed strugle agianst the occupation will continue!
4. Ali like your leaders are any better
Jellybean ,   Chicago   (03.17.07)
Fatah was once a terrorist organization which was involved in numerous killings of innocent people. Hamas is STILL considered a terrorist organization and still many countries refuse to work with. I suggest before you criticize other governments take a good look at yours.
5. Jordan is Palestinian
Dave Levy ,   Burbank. USA   (03.17.07)
Israel is feckless, but not hapless. Israel is not pre-WW2 Germany or Poland, but acts like it is. Israel has no business talking to a Palestinian government (whether Fatah or Hamas dominated) which doesn't recognize it a a state, denounce and act against violence and adhere to all prior agreements. I find it astonishing that Israel is expected to recognize and talk to an entity which really doesn't exist yet, while that same ambiguous entity doesn't reciprocate. It's truly amazing. The Arabs had a chance in 48 and blew it. They had chances in 67 and at Camp David, but blew it. Now they expect recognition while not themselves accepting a state in the UN. This entire discussion is absurd. Until Israel gets tough, both with itself, and the Arabs, the farce will go on. Palestine is Jordan. The so-called territories are disputed areas, not Israeli, and not Palestinian. Israel should consider them autonomous, that's all.
6. Palestinian Unity Government
Mark ,   Israel   (03.17.07)
How long will these three words be used together?
7. Deception
sam   (03.17.07)
The inventer of a "Palestinian Nation" was Nazimufti Husseini, his nephew, terrorgangster and warrior for bounty (1.3 Billions) Arafat and his cleptomanic jihadist cronies like the moderate holocaust denier and Munic Massacre organizer Abbas. The latter now in coalition with mohammedano-fascist Hamas - muslim brotherhood. No one can expect anything good from them. The eurabian dhimmi will soon see how selfdestruction by cooperation with supremacist mohammedanism will end. Deception is a genuine tactic of parasitic mohammedanic jihadism. Eurabia cheers those who soon will be their nightmare too. Eurabian taxpayers funding notorious jihad against tiny Israel. But: European societies will be empoverished and primitivized as where hundreds of millions of Christians, Hindu, and Buddhist in Africa and Asia before them, when jihadism has yet another try to conquer Europe, this time through millions of mohammedanic so called refugees.
8. unity 'government'
Chaya ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (03.17.07)
Government?? Ministers??? Just because they put on suits and sit in a nice building doesn't change the fact that they are nothing but terrorists!! They don't give a damn about the people they supposedly 'represent!'
9. Palestinians
Steven Rosenfeld ,   L.A. USA   (03.17.07)
Congratulations! Since Israel won't talk to this so called Government, now that the Palestinian unity government has been sworn in they can start talking to each other. I hope they are very happy.
10. Ali - just say the word and we'll go for it!
JPS ,   Efrat   (03.17.07)
Ali, you said "Even Hamas is willing for peace deal now. If Hamas says explicitly that they recognize Israel and all the violance attaks are stopped, What Israel is willing to offer??? " What are we willing to offer? Heck, if Hamas comes out and says it wants peace with Israel and says explicitly that Hamas recognizes Israel we'll give you your independent state. However, Hamas has NOT said they want peace with Israel (they want peace WITHOUT Israel), and Haniya keeps saying Hamas will never recognize Israel. So unfortunately, it really doesn't matter if Israel has strong or weak leaders - Hamas does not want peace with Israel.
11. To 5, 7, & 10: The world will recognize us
Ali ,   Falasteen-Ramallah   (03.17.07)
Israel is loosing the peace battle! The majority of the Israli people see Jordan as an alternative for our LAND FALSTEEN. We were here since ever and we'll stay here for ever. Jeruslaem and The Aqsa will never be an Israel Temble. You have the Nuclear weapons, we have the demographic majority and let's wait just one decade. Palestine is NOT Jordan and Jordan is NOT Palestine. You, the babay state since 1948, may return back to your original contries in the US and UK and the Flasha guys may be back soon to Africa.

Spinner ,   World   (03.17.07)
Israel was once a country that belonged to "other" people. It's organizing founders were involved in numerous killings of innocent people. Israel is STILL considered a terrorist organization in the middle east and still many countries refuse to work with. I suggest before you criticize other governments take a good look at your corrupt leaders!!! AS THEY ARE JUST AS BAD IF NOT WORSE THEN ANY HAMAS-FATAH UNIFIED GOVERNMENT!!
13. #3 Allam....you hit the nail on the head
Spinner ,   World   (03.17.07)
I can not agree more with what you have stated!!!! Israel created it's enemies and helped form and support them.... Now it's trying to use propaganda to make the world be on their side... By the fact that Israel does not agree with the "new" government and the rest of the world does, EVEN THE US, then I think the Palestinians are on the right path now!!!
14. To all of you cynica
(03.17.07)
Stop being pathetic, get real, acknowledge the other side (indogenous people) and do talk to your "enemy" if you want to live in Peace. That’s all for now.

16. Ali No 11 in Ramallah, Judea

The term palestinians is roman, and was meant to all people living there. Jews and few early christians. At the time your messenger was not born. Mohammedians are good in highjacking, not only premohammedian terms, but airplanes, trains or buses, which you are unable to manufacture, but also spiritual and philosophic matters. Avraham, Izchak, christian prophets, the UN, and history in general. Many, many of your fellows came to Erez Israel in the late 19th century fleeing the brutal turk oppressors, and to find work in early jewish farms. About 900'000 jews now Israeli, have been forced to flee without any recompensation from mohammedanic tyrant entities. Many of those families living there before the messenger massmurdered the jews of Medina and elswhere. What you say about "Jordan" is absolute nonsense. Jordan was thougt for the arabs. The hashemites were chased from Mekka and Medina and later from Bagdad and landed in Jordan where they killed some 15' to 20'000 of your fellow arabs, during Black September. Nevertheless Jordan is an european construction. By the way, yor reference to ancient Falasteen is great, that people coming from Greece, vanished many, many hundred years ago, longtime before the occurrence of mohammedanism. The Jews are there. There is no place on earth where mohammedanians live side by side in peace with countrys with other faiths. Not in Africa, not in Asia.
17. By the time the world recognizes them...
DR ,   Florida, USA   (03.22.07)
they will have killed each other off. Palestinians continue to kill each other over factional disputes or who knows why...i guess when your parents and teachers raise you to hate, you will hate everyone, not just jews.
