713 ,   Seattle US   (06.20.07)
you helped Hamas take power, and you leave them with their people starving. Why not use those smuggling tunnels for food?? Keep it up Iran and show the world how much you accually care for the PA's.

Pot, meet kettle...
4. What a lying fraud
marya ,   sacramento,USA   (06.20.07)
No-one could be more of a terrorist than Mahmoud Abass. His entire career - his life has been preoccupied with killing Jews and ultimately destroying Israel. So to hear this piece of human offal calling HAMAS 'terrorists' is the final irony. May Abass along with Zahar, Haniyeh and all the other soon meet their just reward.
5. Abbas
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (06.20.07)
Killing Israelis is all right, but those national symbols, well, they should be left alone. I wonder if Abbas would actually choke, if he said "State of Israel" out loud to the Palis in the West Bank. I guess, "our good neighbors to the west of us" is out of the question, hehehe.
6. Too little, too late. You created a death cult -- now deal.

7. Abbas Ostrich lifts head from sand; still has sand in eyes
Ostrich-Watch ,   USA   (06.20.07)
Why does Abbas act surprised?Hamas were "murderous terrorists" before they whopped Fatah's a$$ in Gaza. They have always been "murderous terrorists" and always will be, Unity government notwithstanding.
8. Unity Gov't=MUTINY Gov't I've written in TBs for months
(06.20.07)
And a political figure like Abbas is surprised? How naive can you get?! Even an average Joe could have seen this coming.
9. Abbas
Eve ,   USA   (06.20.07)
What is he??? Did he magically become a big "Zadik" Maybe thanks to Olmert. "People in glass houses should not throw stones."
10. #1 Iran helped Hamas against Fatah? that is the last thing
(06.20.07)
Iran would do. Helping Sunis extremist Hamas!!! you may expect that from Hezbullah, but never from Iran. Iran has first to cease to exist before helping Iraqi Sunis against america, On its door step. So, why should Iran help Hamas......and against Fatah !
11. Now it`s official (Sic)
Nora ,   Tel Aviv   (06.20.07)
Abu Mazen declared that Hamas are murderous terrorists. And what are Fatah? Non-murderous terrorists?
12. "Murderous terrorists" - The pot calling the kettle black

13. Hamas ! My Stupid Brothers
Atilla Liman ,   Karagözoğlu   (06.20.07)
confuse bloody without a Leader without a Soul without a Respect without The Believe without The Faith without My Support I hope and wish they remember that they have a wrong style of fighting. Whatever they follow It has NO PLACE IN THE RELIGION. I remind Hamas THE PRINCE OF THE ROSES. they will know what I mean. Hamas has too bad name in me. They are just cartoon heros. How I wish to rule them into normal. How I wish to rule Palestinians into the victory. All I need is All Palestinians listen and hear me for 10 days. than, I make them believe and follow me.which will also good for all others. love Atilla Liman Karagözoğlu
14. Abbas...Abbas....A LIVING DEAD SOUL
Atilla Liman ,   Karagözoğlu   (06.20.07)
Hamas is in action, at least. Some dirty, some bad, some for better. WHO ARE YOU ? AND WHY YOU STAY AS A LADY ? Atilla Liman Karagozoglu
15. hamas has a hope...abbas has a nothing
Atilla Liman ,   Karagözoğlu   (06.20.07)
I dont respect losers. It is possible to work on Hamas for better. It is impossible to work on abbas ones for better.
16. Ahem, This should be Israel's declaration!!
Joseph Caro ,   Jerusalem   (06.20.07)
Abbas declared, "there is no dialogue with those murderous terrorists," Why don't we hear our own leaders saying the same thing about all our enemies instead of trying to jump into bed with them giving them Golan Heights and Gaza when they spit in your face. It's time Israel started learning some politics from our neighbors.
17. Abbas"s Oral Bovine Scatoloy
Sandman ,   Ann Arbor USA   (06.20.07)
Is not this the same man whose Ph,D thesis is that the Holocast never happened, Is this the same Abbas who ordered excutions of certain arab rivals. Is that same Abbas you controlled attacks on Isreal.....aah gee just oral diaherra at it best folks.
18. What does Abu Mazen call the Zionists?
Dovy ,   Toronto   (06.20.07)
Since he meets frequently with the murderous Zionists who are destroying the Palestinians, one must express surprise at his descriptions of Hamas since his people will start accusing him of being a quisling and stooge of the Zionists whom he never insults!
19. The Pot Calling The Kettle Black. They Deserve Each Other

20. WHAT DOES JIMMY CARTER HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THEM ???
andrew ,   miami,fl   (06.20.07)
21. Hamas claims that after it stormed the Preventive Security
lakshmi   (06.20.07)
Compound they found documents and tapes implicating Dahlan(fatah) in a plot to overthrow Hamas and so they acted preemptively.Samihey(fatah security) had publicly boasted of killing several hamas and torching their houses etc.Abbas certainly did not have the authority of dissolve the Unity Government,according to articles 65,66,67 of Palestinian Basic Law.This new government is an illegal one and with the rampant corruption in fatah,the Palestinians will soon see them for what they are.Abbas is not going anywhere with all his bluff and bluster.He has to work with Hamas if he wants that Palestinian state!
22. Only the IDF can
Steve ,   USA   (06.20.07)
B"H The IDF has to sift out Hamas on Israel's east flank to keep Iran away from the population centers and to keep Abbas and the Arab and Jewish people living side-by-side in peace vision alive. Abbas's force is incapable of controlling Gaza right now, so only the IDF can protect Israel. Hamas is an Iranian protoge interested and acting on the principle of "wiping Israel off the map". As we saw in Gaza, that means murdering its inhabitants who do not believe in the Iranian vision of Islam.
23. 2 Peas in a Pod
Kenneth Jay ,   DC, USA   (06.20.07)
Hamas = Scruffy Bearded Terrorists Abbas and Fatah = Clean Shaven Terrorists Both have same ultimate goals.
24. Atilla, please explain
Chaya ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (06.20.07)
Plesae explain how it is "possible to work on Hamas for better???" These are people who shoot peple in hospitals! Who throw people off of roofs! Who kill people in front of their wives and children! Who shoot women and children!! In short - BARBARIANS!! So - please explain what you meant.
25. #5 good neighbors to the west of us? you mean the Japanese?
(06.20.07)
26. Abbas is irrelevant... Collaborator
Palestinian   (06.20.07)
His way and Arafat never brought us anywhere... Corrupt, and whereever they went, Jordan, Lebanon, they had conflict and put their interest above all... What did they do when they were in charge? Did they get anything from Israel... What was taken by force, is only restored by force... This is the golden rule that we Palestinians are realising....
27. Abbas---Osgood File
Eve ,   USA   (06.20.07)
Listen to this Ossgood file by Dave Ross 6/20/07 at 7:25am http://www.osgoodfile.com/ OF2-6/20/07 7:25AM PALESTINIAN PRESIDENT MAHMOUD ABBAS IS GETTING A LITTLE HELP FROM HIS FRIENDS His party may have been repudiated at the last election, and yes, he's lost his grip on part of his territory, but he is suddenly the man of the hour. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas saw his party lose an election, then his forces were quickly defeated in Gaza, and yet suddenly he's part of the club - along with Israeli Prime Minister Ohlmert and President Bush: "He is the president of all the Palestinians. He has spoken out for moderation. He is a voice that is a reasonable voice amongst the extremists in your neighborhood." said President George Bush. That's the advantage of being in a neighborhood with Hamas - it makes Yosemite Sam look like a moderate. Not to cast cold water on a Kumbayah moment, but when you Google "Abbas" and "moderate," you get a lot of quotes that appear to stretch the definition of moderate: last January he was talking about uniting with Hamas to fight the common Zionist enemy. "The sons of Israel are corrupting humanity on earth," he said then. "We have a legitimate right to direct our guns against Israeli occupation," he said then. And Fatah still has the Al Aksa Martyrs brigade. But he's promised to live up to past agreements with Israel, and that was enough to keep Israel's Prime Minister was on message, describing Mahmoud Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, is a man you can deal with: "Like you, I want to strengthen the moderates and cooperate with Abu Mazen who is the president of all the Palestinians. He's the only person widely elected in a democratic manner." said Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Ohlmert. "Widely" elected being the operative phrase there, since in the local elections, it was Hamas came out on top. But that's old news; new elections will be on the way in two months, and now with only the West Bank in play, maybe it will be easier to plant a working Democracy. Smaller class sizes.

28. You people Amaze me
Ron ,   Los Angeles   (06.20.07)
You call for peace and stability in the region, you call for an end to rocket attacks, bombs, and murder, you call for 2 people living side by side, yet you sit here and criticize everything Abbas has done thus far. We all know that Hamas is a group of very bad people, however, give this guy a chance to prove himself. I want peace and stability as much as the next guy and I'm willing to give it another chance.
29. is this all Mr abass!
Nabulsi   (06.20.07)
This speach must be part of the price abass was asked to pay to get the Israeli, European and American funds flowing back in his bank accounts ... Every Palestinian now knows what a traitor you are!
30. the Abbasid Dynasty
RobertK ,   Jerusalem   (06.20.07)
Abbas--Hamas are terrorists, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades are Salvation Army workers!
