1. Hopelessly Dysfunctional
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville, USA   (10.21.07)
The Palestinians can't even agree on what to say. I wonder if they realize just how hopelessly dysfunctional they appear to the outside world?
2. They Lie Like They Breath.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (10.21.07)
How do I know they're lying? Their lips are moving.
3. If they want Jerusalem and the rest of Israel
Joseph P. ,   Jerusalem   (10.21.07)
of course they have to lie. Imagine if they'd say, "Yes, our Fatah terrorists indeed wanted to assassinate Abbas' friend, Olmert."
4. confusion.lies,deception
Marcel ,   Florida   (10.21.07)
These sre not the fruits of peace but treachery,subterfuge and soon war. Again ,This is the process ,not towards peace but Israel's destruction. And the UNjews follow Olmert their pied piper to certain destruction. This farce peace ,clown circus will not go on mcuh longer . When the dust settles ,the Olmerts and their Labor, Kadima,Likud, Road Map followers will be gone by way of the extinct dinosaur as will the Palestinian's.
5. Yeah...what ever...
(10.21.07)
These people are so incredibly predictable and so incredibly boring.
6. .......and expelling Jews from Plalestinian lands,
Israeli   (10.21.07)
we can not take it anymore.
7. #2 is just a sephardi's proof of loyality.
(10.21.07)
with each lip move, he is presenting another proof.
8. U say; Olmert is incompetent & Jews don't lie to other Jews
observer   (10.21.07)
But, you believe Olmert when he maneuvers to evade the peace conference, and You are lying to Olmert to support him in his lies.
9. had fatah succeeded, what would Israelis have said?
observer   (10.21.07)
let's close this file and move to the next item on the agenda; we always support targeted killing.
10. Good one, # 9!
Matt   (10.21.07)
11. 9 + 10 - 'The Difference'
Henri   (10.21.07)
Perhaps you feel there is no difference between - targeted killings of civilians, women, children, as many as possible - and - targeted killing (attempted 'pin-pointed' accuracy ) of those who perform the above. Well, observer and Matt; use those pea-size brains of yours' to consider this: Israel has had no choice since 1948 but to do just that: "close the file and move to the next item on the agenda"; Which is the next fire that has to be extinguished, the next vicious killing and maiming of the innocents, the next war waged, and by which hostile neighbor, etc. I know this isn't really getting through to you, as that pea-brain does not have the capacity . . good luck 'observer' and fans . . .
12. #4 confusion,lies,deception. You have finally described
yourself. Nice!!!!!! ,   USA   (10.21.07)
13. #11 thank you, that's my point
observer   (10.21.07)
Olmert targeted to kill children in north Gaza, as many as possible. Sometimes, he struck with pin-pointed accuracy and sometimes he failed, but at least he tried.
14. #11 thank you, that's my point
observer   (10.21.07)
Olmert targeted to kill children in north Gaza, as many as possible. Sometimes, he struck with pin-pointed accuracy and sometimes he failed, but at least he tried.
15. we declared our support for the peace talk
Hamasist   (10.21.07)
but, Israel & Fatah are plotting to ruin every thing.
16. #9 - most Israelis would have said, "good riddance".
redmiike ,   tel aviv and london   (10.21.07)
17. #13 - silly nonsense - Israel could destroy the strip ..
redmiike ,   tel aviv and london   (10.21.07)
I have not idea what you're talking about and probably few others do also. Israel uses restraint to a degree that frustrates not only Israelis but many people everywhere. Israel could destroy the strip within a day or so if it didn't care about civilians. What can I tell you, 'go on puffing perhaps', because you're totally out of touch with reality - Mike Or maybe give up on a diet of the BBC and the Guardian !
18. Why would they want to kill their best friend?
jason white ,   afula,israel   (10.21.07)
19. Attack on Olmert
marcel ,   roronto   (10.22.07)
Fatah says Israel falsified the report. Maybe they did. Why would even the most exrtreme fatah fighter want to assassinate the best friend the arabs could ever have in Olmert. He has indicated that he would likely give them the temple mount, most of the west bank and a 40 mile strip across Israel to Gaza in return for settlements. He also had vetoed Israeli operations in Gaza(especially operations against the GAZA gas wells) and was overruled by the cabinet in the latest Syrian operation. He appointed Peretz as defense minister which is all you need to know. He has vetoed targeted removals of Hamas leadership. Lastly, he has permitted Abbas not to follow security procedures. Fatah is probably right-why would they eliminate their best friend!
20. #12 It's good to see that someone from the US sees Marcel as
we do. ,   Israel   (10.22.07)
21. Olmert freed them and they decided to kill him. How Israel
Asher ,   NY, USA   (10.22.07)
can trust any of them ? Olmert could have been killed due to his own stupidity and optimisim in Terrorists but what about the Jews in Israel, how could they ever trust any of them, Abbas or Hamas are all the same as a reversable jacket. Does this incident Teach Olmert the proper Lesson OR he will continue to the End oneway or another?! That's Olmert choice but not Israel's choice, Israel WAKE UP BEFORE IS TOO LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(10.22.07)
you "declared your intent and acceptance of peace talks?" when???? seems to me that the kasaams and rockets are still flying into the negev, kibutzim and sderot and near ashkelon. if that is your intended peacec talk, keep it. we are not interested. you are all animals and barbarians and the world is sick and tired of you arabs. sick and tired of sustaining you economically and financially. sick and tired of listening to your lies and johadist calls. sick and tired of watching your children march to murder in your footsteps. sick and tired of hearing you people complain but never work, try and acheive anything except terror and money begging. enough. take your future into your hands. accept responsibility for yout idiotic behavior. try to do something productive with your life. everytime i see pictures of gaza, isee millions of young people on the streets as well as young children fighting, guns in hands, shouting, running, mayhem and chaos rules your area. don't you have jobs to go to in the morning? aren't your young children in school or are they helping the kassam brigades to murder people? wake up or you will never have your own state. start living by showing yourselves and the world that you can be a cohesive productive society devoid of daily violence even amongst yourselves. look what is happening now in gaza. 8 people murdered between hamas and fatah, children murdered by your own hands and because of gun fights. mothers and women killed because of gun fire. animals!
