If Abu Quisling genuinely thinks people care whether he resigns, then he shows he does not have the mental capacity to negotiate a peace deal. How vain and pompous he is to think anybody will miss him. He should resign tomorrow -- why wait?

how many times is he going to threaten his "i'm gonna take my ball and go home" routine? it's old after the 12th time already.

Arafat-in-a-suit should be arrested for terrorism. But that would make too much sense. He's stepping down? Will Rice become his wife now? It would only be good news, and yes I agree with #1 - take Olmert, Barak and Livni - PLEASE!!!

6 MONTHS ISRAEL - olmert will be on his way to jail 6 MONTHS USA - Bush will be preparing to leave office for the last time 6 MONTHS PA - presidential ellections for the PA will be in 6 months - 1 year at most and Abbas has no intention on standing again. He knows its a crap job he wants to reture so better to sit on the sidelines let somebody new wear the crown while he acts as an advisor on the best way to damage Israels. interests. 6 months they will all be gone. Abbas knows Bush & Olmert are both weak and want a legacy before they have to leave and they all love him simply because he doesnt wear the Hamas badge Whatetever else Abbas is doesnt matter as long as he isnt Hamas he is a man we can do deals with do if he says he is going to resign we need to do everything we can to make sure he stays in office so he just tells us what he wants and we will give it to him as long as he doesnt resign. The arabs have all seen the pathetic leadership in both Israel & the US who are desperate to appease Abbas to satisfy their egos and now the arabs are moving in for the kill and we are welcoming them with open arms.

Stop this good terrorist bad terrorist comedy!

Do you not want peace? Do you think that anyone representing palestinian interests and pushing for some kind of a better reality than endless war or ethnic cleansing is automatically a villain who should step down? Do you think you'll likely get someone better (by whatever criteria you judge better) if Abbas is replaced? Perhaps you would prefer that Fatah go away and only Hamas exist, because at least with them, you can feel more comfortable with your hatred. This mindless hate for "the enemy".

Haverim let us collect money Now $$$ to send Abbas and his good friend Olmert on a permanent Island far, far away from Israel, Gaza and the so called West bank. How about the " South Pole " Land for Peace is exactly what Hitler had in mind. He went all the way to Russia. The only way he was stop to rejoin Chamberlain is the Water. He hated the idea to swim across the Channel. Shalom from Texas Alberto

history proves that these nsgotiations will lead no where , and all israel is doing is stalling and stalling , for what ? no one knows . no peace with israel......

In the wake of the massacre of Israeli seminary students in Jerusalem on march 2008, Abbas released for Western and Israeli consumption a condemnation of the terror attack. But Al Hayat Al Jadida, official daily newspaper of Abbas's Palestinian Authority, praised the killer as a "holy martyr." In recent days, the paper has promoted a week-long "wedding celebration" for the killer, to mark his reception into heaven and his marriage to the 72 virgins promised holy martyrs.

They are already planning to implant Barghouti new zionist clown replacing you Your Date of Use already passed and you already smell sour to stay Israeli agent in Palestinian leadership Barghouti who underwent Mossad education in prison will take over As the ads asks! HEY BARGTOUTI DID YOU DISOOVER YOUR JEWISH ROOTS, AND UNDERSTOOD YOU ARE RELATIVE OF KISSINGER?(Certainly not Einstein!)

Bargouti is worse for Israel than even Arafat. Arafat was a terrorist he wasnt interested in peace but we all knew what he was we just buried our heads in the sand because we wanted to beeive he was speaking the truth more than we wantred to accept facts. Abbas has been bad for Israel because allthough he is no smooth talker he isnt Hamas and he wears a suit so he isnt Arafat also we have politicians in the USA & Israel both desperate for legacies before they go so are willing to sell cheap now let somebody else pick up the pieces afterewards. Bargouti - he is a smooth talker knows herbrew & english he knows just the right things to say so people will want to believe he speaks the truth just like Arafat but unlike Arafat he doesnt wear a millitary uniform and again he doesnt wear the Hamas badge. You should have a a look at his prisoners document he drew up which he has been trying to promote as the new peace pln Full refugee return + financial compensation no negotiion. Complete withdraw to the pre 1967 border Israel doesnt get to keep any of its major settlement blocks or strategic territotroy for security purposes. Resistance is a right ( terror ) Doesnt recognise Israel Thats the Bargouti peace ideas plans and he can be even more hard line that that at one point he was advising Arafat to accept nothing less than a palestian state in the borders proposed by the UN in 1947 not the 1949 ceacefire lines .. that would have given the palestian state not all the territory Israel captured in 1967 but also about 15% of Israel beyond the green line. Bargouti was an advisor to Arafat at Camp David so he has his role to share in why it was such a failure, he planned the intefada with Arafat. For Israel Bargouti fighting the palestian side would be a nightmare but the idiot left dont look beyond the fact he isnt Hamas and he is popular with Fatah voters.
