1. didn't we try this?
Greg ,   New York City   (05.19.07)
back in the day...and all we did was strengthen one of the factions which eventually rose up against us. this is a repeat of past stupidity. just let them kill eachother.
2. No! Stay out of it!
(05.19.07)
This is a Palestinian affair - let them kill each other.
3. don't help your enemy!
Bram   (05.19.07)
they are not to trust.
4. Israeli Govt may support Fatah
Kemp ,   Nahariya Israel   (05.19.07)
That is even dumber than the U.S supporting Bin Laden which they did. When it's over Fatah will use their weapons against Israel and, kill more Israelis . Condi Rice must have dreamed this one and "Lacky" Olmert and Livni oblige not knowing how to say know to their benefactor
5. Give them our artillery and armor
jason white ,   afula,israel   (05.19.07)
We are not using them. Only the pinheads in the government of Israel would supply the enemy with weapons and ammo. If this is not treason,then what is? Do they think the weapons will not be used against us? Are they that stupid?
6. You, US, et al, already support the "moderate organization"
Ben Temalion ,   Shiloh, MO USA   (05.19.07)
Organized before '67 to kill you before you reclaimed the lands that they now say you are "occupying" and thus justifyies your mass-murder as legitimate form of resistance. As if resistance is a legitimate form of colonization outside of their peninsular homelnad to which they should have their right of return enforced. It is said you supported Hammas around '79. While they want to kill you too. You fund, arm, train, feed, provide utilities to all of them as does US and the rest of the nations.. Many will commemorate dead Jews, but at the same time, they will encourage your painful measures of breaking the bones and skulls, crusshing and penetrating the genitals of those who love the land that protects all of you without regard to age, sex or condition, but especially because of religion. Religion that you hate. Jews and democracy that you hate. Soverignty that you will not claim. You allow a party to take power without being elected. And you will not expell thowse who come to kill you, US, et al. You think force 17 is moderate? The sniper that blew the brains out of Shalhit Paz's brain was force 17 trainded by US. How many bombing, stonings, rockets assasinations does it take to be a mass-murderer in your Jew and democracy hating, shallow self-interested eyes? Enjouy your volvo, german cars and other perks while Jews die, left with wounds worse than death, lives that can never be reguilt again and your country is destroyed because you hate Jews and democracy.
7. STAY OUT - WILL ONLY BITE US IN THE @SS LATER
(05.19.07)
8. I must say! IF Fatah finishes with Hamas,they'll attack IL
Alan ,   SA   (05.19.07)
9. Hitler told Germ to kill Jews,Stalin told Russ to kill Jews
Alan ,   SA   (05.19.07)
But today Pals (Hamas,Fatah-U name it ) SAY that Allah told them to kill Jewsand drive Jews into the sea etc etc . This is the problem! When Hitler&Stalin etc leave the scene things got a bit better for Jews .But how do you cope with a situation like today in M.E. where divine guidance is running the show and Allah has devolved his power to Hamas and Allahs own political party ,the Hisb - Allah
10. we should support hamas against fatah also
aaron ,   ra'anana   (05.19.07)
provide them with artillery support.
11. Abbas became a 'moderate' ? I didn't know about that !
redkmike ,   tel aviv and london   (05.19.07)
12. hamas and fatah
AMI ,   israel   (05.19.07)
they both are the same enemy you have to fihgt them and not to suport the fatah you can see ABU MASEN crys to stop israel but does not condem the shooting of the KASSAM rockets
13. ONE MORE MISTAKE
Daniel ,   Israel   (05.19.07)
"Israel may provide Fatah military support" YOU ARE MAKING ANOTHER MISTAKE. THEY WILL TURN ON YOU ANY TIME SOON.
14. israel has no business suppporting fatah
(05.19.07)
o r anyone else for that matter who wishes to harm us. they are thinking fatah is the lesser of two evils. however one must remember fatah and hamas are bothi n agreement that they want to see doom come to israel just in different ways. dont support any of them.
15. It is difficult to make war...
Norway   (05.19.07)
without agents on the enemy’s territory. Israel has also such agents, who weakens Israel and support the enemies’ intentions. The corrupt power elite; ruling Israel today, is a leftwing minority; also struggling against a Jewish state…
16. I don't believe a word
Efrat   (05.19.07)
Ynet make up news! no name behind the words or anything...
17. This is a truly great idea
Ferran ,   Barcelona   (05.19.07)
Olmert & co: geniuses! what a wonderful idea! And to think that a nation is criticising these brilliant leaders.
18. That will certainly endear the Palestinians
John ,   Raleigh   (05.19.07)
What could be better the IDF is no longer defending Israelies but Palestinians against Palestinians. What a plan. You think the defense minister came up with this on his own or did he use the briliance of the PM?
19. Do not support Fatah or Hamas
Oleg ,   USA   (05.19.07)
The are the same. The struggle is internal and only about who controls power and funds. No matter who wins will still remain an Israel enemy. Let them fight, let them make a civil war, help civilian population escape to other Muslim countries, promote an idea for civilians to move out of this land. The less people there the better. It is great when those idiots fight with each other. To help either side would be the greatest mistake after Lebanon.
20. never do this!
YOEL   (05.19.07)
The only reason why Abbas and his Fatah are in danger is only their corruption. Weapons come from Egypt, and the border is supposed to be guarded by Fatah policemen and international observers. They didn't fulfil their jobs by letting those weapons coming in. Personnally, I don't know moderate palestinians in Fatah: they even have the Al Aq'sa Martyrs' Brigades, and I would make no difference between them and HAMAS ! Ideology is the same: kill israelis as many as possible.
21. Fatah more dangerous than Hamas
Tom ,   Usa   (05.19.07)
At least Hamas members say their intentions , Fatah is "good" from outside but want the same way to take pieces and pieces of land of Israel and destory it.
22. Help Fatah?
Juan ,   Spain   (05.19.07)
That would be disastrous. Fatah and Hamas have the same intentions: the destruction of Israel. They are both evil.
23. Support ?
charles ,   petach tikva   (05.19.07)
Many years ago Israel supported hamas , against Arafat . Look what happened . Now they are the strong ones . Abu Mazen a moderate ? why could we not achieve something when he was the ruler ? If the hamas comes out victorious of this struggle , we'll have a well declared adversary , and we then can also tackle this . Let them fight this out by themselve , without our support . Support that anyway will be used against us later .
24. pritain is the enemey of the jewish people.
mandi ,   israel   (05.19.07)
they are making false stories about israel and jews on a daily basis.
25. help the "Moderates"
Hilda ,   US   (05.19.07)
Who are they? Oh you mean the ones who kill Israelis with suicide bombers instead of Missiles. What kind of insanity is this.? They both believe in destroying the Jewish State, the only difference is method. Abbas doesn;t love Jews anymore than Arafat did. Why do we forget so quickly or do I see the strong arm of the US State Department?. I agree with most of the posters. Keep out of it. Let them kill each other if that's what they want. Either way Israel does not win.
26. Has the gov't gone completely INSAIN?
(05.19.07)
what the hell is wrong with you people? Are you trying to destroy Israel completely? Fatah does not want peace, they want us gone!! And now you want to help them. You are the most despicable group that has ever walked in Israel.
27. ISAREL IS HELD 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR STRENGTHINING HAMAS
Nader Halim ,   Ramalla   (05.19.07)
The issue is not for Israel to supply weapons to Fatah because Fatah can get weapons same as Hamas does. However, Israel has always rejected any peace plan with the Palestinians and made the environment rich for the radical groups to grow up and same time undermining the moderates. My personal veiw is that the chance has passed for peace, and Israel to expect more violience to escalate in all fronts in the near future. The radical Islamic groups are gaining power everyday and the support of the normal people, the people whom lost hope in life due to the continuty of the Israeli occupation. I wished Isarel would have been more clever in dealing with the Palestinians. Time is out unless a miracle falls down from the sky..
28. Give your enemy more weapons to shoot back at you?
(05.19.07)
If fatah needs military help let them supply the intelligence to IAF/IDF and they use the guns. Good grief, don't give more weaponry to fatah for hamas to steal. In the long run if f fatah is killed off by hamas then target selection becomes much easier!
29. pretty silly if you did
m   (05.19.07)
'As one grabbing hold of the ears of a dog is anyone getting involved in a fight that is not his.'
30. Beyond stupid
Korem ,   New York, USA   (05.19.07)
Does Israel not learn from its own history? What happened when Israel wanted to fight the secular PLO which was mercilessly flooding it with terrorist attacks? Israel gave support to the fledgling and then very weak religiously-oriented Hamas to balance things out. And now who is Israel's greatest enemy? Hamas (though some would argue Islamic Jihad). This is the exact same situation in reverse. Supporting Fatah will lead possibly to a great weakening of Hamas, but don't forget that Fatah doesn't like Israel and getting support from Israel may actually make more of the Palestinians favor Hamas, and also regardless, in a decade Fatah will be back with weapons to destroy Israel, and then Israel will consider supporting "al-blabla," which hates Fatah, and which will too come to hate Israel, and so on and so on. Destroying Hamas rocketeers is one thing because they are an immediate threat. Allying with Fatah is another, idiotic thing.
