do not sign, just finish them off. Those who signed but reneged, also finish them off. This is a simple, win-win situation.
2. thats fine..
rj ,   engladn   (07.19.07)
that is fine that some fatah members want to keep their guns in my opinion for they cannot cry and critise Israel when Israel goes knocking on their doors or hunting them down and killing them...for these fatah members arwe no better than hamas members and will get what is coming to them...keep your guns and we shall keep hunting you down
3. They won't disarm - well there's a surprise! NOT!

4. Too Stupid For Words.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (07.19.07)
The politically correct description for our gov't. is intellectually challenged but in ordinary language, morons would be equally appropriate.
5. Deal: Gunmen get amnesty and CASH in exchange for signature
must be kidding ,   Israel   (07.19.07)
It is a well documented fact that the Fatah members have more than one gun. It's not as if they're registered gun owners, so it's hard to monitor if they turn in all of their guns. Additionally, calling this a 'hand over' is disingenuous. They are SELLING their guns for MARKET PRICE + AMNESTY, getting over 50,000 NIS for some rifles. This deal is RIDICULOUS, and endangers Israelis.
6. Goonies give up arms only
john ,   nz   (07.19.07)
to get a newer model from Iran. On the surface, it looks like a deal..well @ least to silly Olmert. Another great show by PA Production. In doing so, they hope to reap more cash from sympatisers, suckers,..and the vicious cycle will start all over again.
7. street thugs of fatah
Nabulsi   (07.19.07)
its time these street thugs of Abbass are taken of f the street and thrown in jail were they belong ... but these are abass's men without whom he may end up in jail, so this is a catch 22. personally i cannot see abbass wanting to disarm these thugs.
8. IS ANYONE SURPRISED?

10. best solution
rj ,   england   (07.19.07)
teh best solution is to build that security wall high and fast including the enclaves of established settlements and totally disengage from the palestinians...if they continue to attack after that then consider it all out war and deal with them accordingly...
11. Arms and the PA terrorists
Hilda ,   USA   (07.19.07)
I give them some credit for being homest. Does anyone really believe that those who gave up their arms received their bonus, signed the paper renoucing terror and getting newer and better arms to be part of the regular militia really will stop terror against Israel? Yes, Olmert and President Bush . It is naive to believe this and Israel will regret this as she has other foolish moves before.. But of course Bush is determined for there to be a Palestinian State no matter what the consequences for Israel and his little puppet Olmert will go along . Peres is already committed.
12. It is simply like this...
Gazan ,   Gaza, Palestine   (07.19.07)
As long as ther is an occupation, there will be resistance. Those who give up arms in this struggle will been looked upon as cowards or traitors. The majority will not...
13. How stupid
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (07.19.07)
How stupid is Olmert? So stupid, when Abbas told him Fatah would disarm, HE BELIEVED IT! [rimshot]
