1. Do Arabs want peace ?
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (06.25.08)
"All of Israel is Palestine" - Denying Israel’s Right to Exist and Anticipating its Destruction The foundation of Palestinian ideology is the denial of Israel’s right to exist. Jewish history is rewritten and Jewish historical presence in the Land of Israel in erased. All the agreements with Israel are said to be temporary. Palestinian Authority Television regularly broadcasts songs, dance, sermons and video clips encouraging Palestinians to anticipate, visualize, and hope for Israel’s destruction and replacement by a future "Palestine" "from the River to the Sea." Statements made in English by Palestinian spokespeople regarding the desire to live 'side-by-side' with Israel are frequently contradicted in Arabic-language statements and opinions given in the various Palestinian media. The dual nature of these messages are significant, as they are preparing Palestinians for ongoing conflict and not for peaceful resolution. Thus, any peace agreements signed in the future by Palestinians will be seen as a betrayal of the messages they've been taught for over a decade. Preparing people for peace now will help create peace now and in the future. Preparing people for ongoing conflict will destroy any chance of peace for the foreseeable future.

2. Why?
DM ,   Amsterdam   (06.25.08)
Why Mr. Obama must Hamas do such a ludicrous thing? Hamas must be eradicated and that’s all. We do not want anything from them. Naive liberal! Why do liberals always repeat past mistakes.... Didn’t the PLO (Yasser Arafat) show us that terrorists are not to be trusted? And why do Liberals always backtrack on past statements? Is it maybe because all they want and all they have is the lust for power? Is it maybe cause they do not have a real agenda accept for power and repeating past mistakes? Is that what the American people call Change we can believe in? “Power we can believe in”
3. Hamas
zznhl   (06.25.08)
If we give them a state, then the terrorism becomes a legitamate arguement as war. They have declared a state, so as two waring states, Israel and Hamastan, Israel has a legitimate condition for invading and desposing of their leadership under the UN charter of crimes against humanity - Due to their shelling of civilians these past seven years and self admitted numerouse attack, suicide attacks and kidnappings.
4. Imagine if Obama, the Muslim, becomes President of the U.S.
Miriam ,   Israel   (06.25.08)
(Oh, I forgot, he changed his status. He's not Muslim now until … after elections.) Whatever he is, Israel will lose its ally and good friend with the U.S. Hopefully, McCain will win.
5. #3
Invicta   (06.25.08)
Think about it! The Ergun and Stern gang were both Terrorist organisations, labelled and recognised as such - at the time. So therefore Terrorism does become a legitimate argument as war. Think if you can beyond your hatred for Palestinians. Was not the ANC Terrorist once?Was not Sien Fein? Both now part of legitimate governments.
6. Oh NOBAMA,you are so naive.Just put pressure on the muslims
& they will listen? ,   Yeah, right.Rueben   (06.25.08)
7. Spreading rumors
Isaac Barr ,   Detroit, USA   (06.25.08)
Suggestions that Senator Obama is a Muslim is a lie propagated by dishonest people. Lies always boomerang and end up giving credibility to the accused. Detailed research in the USA and abroad confirmed that Obama is not Muslim. So please stop spreading vicious rumors.
8. HO...
shadoil ,   jerusalem   (06.25.08)
will say anything and do anything to get elected. Q is what will this one say in the Oval?
9. #7Poor Issac,can't see being taught in madrasses could have
an infulence on ,   Nobama.Rueben   (06.25.08)
10. #5 soooo wrong
DM ,   Amsterdam   (06.25.08)
Is the IDF (irgun) in the Israeli government? Once the PLO was the terrorist organization, than they founded Fatah as a military wing of the PLO, now we are talking to the military wing of the PLO... Is Fatah talking to the IDF or talking to the Israeli government? and #7 are you on Obama's payroll?
11. A rebuke to #5
Evan Gildenblatt ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (06.25.08)
But the difference between the Irgun and the Palestinian Terror Organizations that you're likening then to is that the Jewish organizations never targeted civilians. There is a line to be drawn, and you certainly can't see it.
12. Did you notice he never said hamas had to recognize Israels
right to EXIST? ,   Maurie, Israel   (06.25.08)
13. good joke!

Omar ,   UK   (06.25.08)
lobby at the amercan congress.............
15. #7, Barr. Check your lies out! Detailed research found ...
Stewart ,   USA   (06.25.08)
that Obama was registered as a Muslim when in Catholic school. Early childhood friend abroad have confirmed his Muslim practice. The only reason he joined Wright"s Christain Church was because it was the only way to make it in politics in Chicago's black community. My friends tell me that Jews are smart, so how did you get the name Issac Barr?
16. #10 DM. I think he's just brainwashed. George Sorros, such
Stewart ,   USA   (06.25.08)
a nice Jewish boy and fabulous friend of Israel is paying all these guys. It must be great working for someone who turned over all the information on land owned by Jews to the Nazi's. Maybe Obama will become Jewish and join Sorros's shule. There will be plenty of room for him and his wife in such an empty place.
17. Trust me, tomorrow he will say something in support of hamas
His words have NO ,   substance 2 them.   (06.25.08)
18. #11
Invicta ,   Europa   (06.25.08)
Who planted the bombs that killed the civilians in the King David hotel? Who massacred the Palestinian villagers and razed their houses and poisoned their wells? As for the IDF - they are responsible for thousands of civilian deaths. Far more than the Palestinian militants.
19. Obama Is A Pathological Liar
MK ,   Philadelphia USA   (06.25.08)
You cannot trust a word that comes out of the guy's mouth. Anyone who has followed his campaign for more than 2 weeks knows this. Even Obama's supporters know that he lies about everything. They just don't care.
20. Thanks for stating the obvious, Obama...Sounds Sophmoric
BJL ,   usa   (06.25.08)
21. 7 What a joke you are!! His own 1/2 brother said "Yes he was
raised muslim"! ,   Get the facts first!   (06.25.08)
22. #18 I gotta tell ya, you put on a GREAT show of displaying
your ignorance for ,   all to see!! Rueben   (06.25.08)
23. Go back in time
DM ,   Amsterdam   (06.25.08)
# 18 Who killed the Jews in Kaybar?
24. Obama has been campaining in 57 states.
David Powell ,   Everett, Wa. USA   (06.25.08)
That is what was in Obama's speeches lately. Was he referring to the 57 Islamic states that are supporting him? I wonder.
25. Obama: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
Mike ,   Ashkelon   (06.25.08)
THAT'S WHAT EVERYONE HAS BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG
26. #24 Can you tell me where they are? My wife & I can only
