1. The evil PA "reacts" to their own provocations!
marlene ,   Philadelphia, USA   (09.23.08)
Admit it, PA and USA State Dept. - violence never "returns" - it always CONTINUES!
2. Why do Arabs continue to resist peace?
David ,   Boston, USA   (09.23.08)
Their terror tactics are crimes against humanity, not resistance. What are they resisting? peace, prosperity. Shame on them. Create another Palestine in Eurabia if you want, but stop trying to steal Eretz Yisrael, squatters!
3. "Violence legitemate?"
John ,   Europe   (09.23.08)
Let mi write this down to a side... So I can pull that out next time we storm Gaza with rockets. "Sorry, guys, your official declaired violence legitemate, so why the hell you are yelling?"
4. SO...LET THE VIOLENCE BEGIN..AND LET ISRAEL STAND LIKE MEN !
THE FLEA THREATENS ,   SO DID PHAROAH   (09.23.08)
THANK YOU, DACON9
5. Qureia: Give us Jerusalem or ELSE!
Dr. Dave ,   NYC   (09.23.08)
Livni: ok
6. the pales know what Livni is and are now jumping into play
zionist forever   (09.23.08)
Quaria like the rest of the arabs know Livni is just as spineless as Olmert and will give everything for nothing especialy now she has Meeretz on board. Like Olmert she is more interested in personal ambition and her place in the history booka than she is interedted in Israels best interets. If we dont have an election now then we can wave goodbye to Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, Judea & Samaria and see an increase in terror. Livni though will recive a nobel peace prize for her role in selling out Israel which is all that matters. If treaties work or not isnt the problem the brave, visionry, peace maker who brokered the treaty can allways find somebody can allways be found to blame when they dont work as they were supposed but Livni can hold her head high and say it would have worked look I got a nobel prize to proove it.
7. They are always threatening and strating violence
Gary   (09.23.08)
but when Israel responds the whole world flies into a rage.
8. So Violence Against Terrorstinians Is Justified
emanon ,   USA   (09.23.08)
If the arabs reject peace, then I guess all is fair against them. Sounds about right to me. They are the ones rejecting peace at every chance.
9. Israel's resistance against terror is also legitimate!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (09.23.08)
...and ALL means are legitimate too! The Palestinians shouldn't moan then if we will use ANY and ALL means against them. If they think they can threaten us with terror if we don't accept their conditions, they should think again. Back September was a walk in the park compared to what they can expect if they try something foolish again. Their best chance is to accept the fact that Israel is here to stay, Jerusalem will NEVER be anything else but the capital of the Jewish land - just like it has been for thousands of years. Yes, Israel resistance and fight against terror will reach new levels while the Palestinians will lose again - land, lives and future.
10. Islamist-Jihadists threaten violence
Brod ,   USA   (09.23.08)
Israel should clean up their violence with resoluteness. The way the leaders of the dark forces talk is no different to the lingo of gangsters. It is time they get Israel's swift justice should they resort to thuggery and violence.
11. resisting resistance is a legitimate right
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (09.23.08)
and israel can resist with the best of them.
12. What I hear him saying is: Israel You have the right...
legitimate right to ,   take what is yours   (09.23.08)
to take back all the land God swore to give you, and has returned you to. Take it what is legitimately yours, all of the land given to Abraham and his decedents though the chosen son Issac.
13. WARNING TO AHMAD: WHEN THE BOMBS START FALLING, RULES CHANGE
dp   (09.23.08)
go ahead and side with an enemy during a future war and watch what happens, home front will be protected first
14. VIOLENCE CUTS BOTH WAYS: IT WILL CUT THE PHILISTINES DOWN
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (09.23.08)
Every time they choose war and violence, they lose and their position worsens. Next time will be the last time. They will be expelled for good- minus those with Jewish blood on their hands.
15. The Oslo War and the PA economy.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (09.23.08)
The domestic output of the PA economy has actually dropped by 30 percent on a per capita basis since 1999, one year before the Oslo War broke out. Foreign aid in the past eight months has totaled more than $1 billion, slightly more than half of the amount the PA needs for the entire year. Almost all of the foreign aid before the Oslo War was directed to economic and infrastructure development programs. The escalated terror campaign since 2000 cut employees wages and PA tax revenues, leaving the PA more and more dependent on foreign aid. More at : http://xrl.us/bi7j5
16. A “Palestinian state”
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (09.23.08)
Under the 1933 Montevideo Treaty, a state must satisfy four specific requirements: It must have a permanent population, a defined territory, a government, and the capacity to enter into peaceful relations with other states. The Palestinian Authority under Abbas does not satisfy any one of these requisites. While it has “permanent residents,” it has also a large portion of unsettled refugees. And it certainly does not have “a defined territory” as evidenced by its official maps. Its display of all of Western Palestine is indicative of its intentions to undermine the Jewish State. As to a “government,” Abbas is running a gang rather than an acceptable government; it lacks legitimacy, as large portions of the Palestinians do not accept him as the leader. The fourth criterion is absolutely clear- it lacks the capacity to live in peace with its neighbor - Israel. To paraphrase Dean Acheson’s words: being “inoffensive” towards a Palestinian terrorist state would destroy the oldest, most vibrant democracy in the Middle East as explained at: http://xrl.us/oo2sk
17. More proof Palestinians do not want peace
JPS ,   Efrat   (09.23.08)
The Palestinians still think that they are immune from international laws. Qureia shows his true colors by saying that Palestinians have the "right" to kill Israelis. They don't. They never have. They never will. By saying "all forms of resistance" Qureia means suicide bombings, drivebyshootings, kassam rocket attacks, throat slittings and firebombing against unarmed Israeli civilians. Qureia is talking war, not peace. Talk of "all forms of resistance" can be easily changed to "all forms of stupid crimes against humanity." With Qureia's Fatah crippled by corruption and with Hamas on the verge of takeover, the Palestinians go back to what they do best: whine and blame other people for their own problems. It really does look like they are not ready for their own state.
18. ...N.B THE CONSEQUENCES ...
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (09.23.08)
ARABS SHOULD CONSIDER THAT THEY WILLSUFFER SHOULD THEY CONTINUE TO RESORT TO ACTS OF VIOLENCE ESPECIALLY IF NEGOTIATIONS ARE NOT TO THEIR LIKING ..AND ANY ILL CONCEIVED ADVICE TO MAKE ISRAEL DROP ITS GUARD. PERMITTING FOR ISRAELI CITIZENS TO BE CARNAGED OR KILLED. .WILL NOT BE PERMITTED. IF WE DON"T LOOK AFTER OUR OWN,THE WORLD CERTAINLY WON"T AS.WE HAVE LEARNT THE HARD WAY, OUR ARAB ENEMIES WILL LOOSE MORE THAN EVER WE ARE SUPERIOR IN ABILITY AS DEMONSRATED BY OUR VARIOUS FIELDS OF SUCCESS BE THEY IN THE ARTS,SCIENCE OR MILITARY ACCOMPLISHMENTS THE WELL BEING OF ISRAEL,WILL BE MAINTAINED FOR OUR ADVANTAGE AND TO THEIR COST SHOULD THEY CONTINUE TO ACT VIOLENTLY TO ACHIEVE THEIR UN-NEGOTIABLE AIMS
19. Palestinian Arabs thrilled with J'lem terror attack
Ken Jurist   (09.23.08)
Palestinian Arabs thrilled with J'lem terror attack Someone please tell me why the Kahanes are barred from the Knesset. http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A//www.palpress.ps/arabic/index.php%3Fmaa%3DReadStory%26ChannelID%3D43192&hl=en&langpair=ar%7Cen&tbb=1&ie=windows-1256
20. Do you see the irony???
Chaim ,   Canada   (09.23.08)
He is negotiating Peace but talking War. This means that Peace was never his intent. He just wants to get a better position in order to destroy Israel later. Then why is Israel even bothering to talk to people who are intent on destroying it.
21. Pals showing the world who they are
Sam ,   Canada   (09.23.08)
Essentially, Palestinians are bullies who threaten violence if they don't get what they want. Then they go crying to the world like a bunch of babies when Israel hits back. The cycle repeats itself over and over because creampuffs like the Europeans buy into this.
22. MR QURIA ... VIOLENCE IS A 2 WAY STREET
stude ham   (09.23.08)
If you want violence Israel can give it back to you thiusand folds of times. Beware of what you say and do.
23. abu ala's daughter
moish ,   Jerusalem   (09.23.08)
Zippy the pinhead gave abu ala's daughter a blue teudat zahut maybe she will give one to Queera too
24. What lovely "peaceful" people? YOU ARE THUGS!
(09.24.08)
Call a dog by its name. There will NEVER be peace with a mentality like this - that readily jumps to violence as a means to extort and coerce - force their will on another. These people are scum and justly deserve all the misery that their own self-inflicted stupidity causes. A bunch of murdering no-hopers.
25. Qureia is part of the problem, not the solution
Zvi   (09.23.08)
He is a corrupt old loser spewing idiotic threats to hide his utter inadequacy.
26. If Tzippy was a TENTH of Golda she would've told him to
Nancy   (09.24.08)
SHove it!
27. Please...
Roy ,   Comanche, Tx USA   (09.24.08)
Please! By all means, you idiot Palestinians... Intifada away! The IDF will kick your butts so hard, you will have to unbutton your collars to poop!
28. is he thretening us?
sam ,   jerusalem   (09.24.08)

29. www.faithfreedom.org
Seema ,   Canada   (09.24.08)
see this site. You will know why Ahmed Q is making such an statement. They will continue to make so, till either they are destroyed or Israel is destroyed. Israel's leaders choice!
30. "vehicles come and go"
tom ,   toronto, canada   (10.04.08)
but terrorism is forever? the palestinian anarchy is a misbegotten exercise in corruption that only serves as a diplomatic cover for terrrorists, and should have been disbanded long ago. the best solution is a return to the pre-oslo status quo: an expulsion of the terrorist groups back to tunisia or libya (or any other place dumb enough to let them in), and a return to full israeli "occupation" of gaza and the west bank, which provided 20 years of peace and prosperity for both jews and arabs.
