Hamas and entier of terrorist organization speaks clear and fluent that is nothing to do with negotiation,peace,occupation,blockages,oppresions etc...when the western countries will realized that radical Islams has no intentions for peace with heretics ??which are Christian,jews,gays and modern world.they order to fight behalf of their god and to take over the world,this clash its between 2 eras,between two opposite,it is about mentality that belong to the middle ages and other mentality that belong to the 21th of century,western leaders continue to disperse illusions to all of us and we eat it.obviously with this such approach we going to loos this battle...radical Islam exploite democracy of the west aginst democracy.we can help it if we want too but we choos to ignore the real danger.

I'm actually glad Hamas issued this statement, for a while I was afraid the world was actually gaining sympathy toward the Palestinians, and looking at us as the bad guys. But now Hamas reminded the whole world of its true face again.

Yes, Hamas - you are so powerful and commanding in your tiny kingdom of Gaza where the citizens suffer daily and you hide in your holes, behind women and children. It;s obvious Hamas cares more about staying in power than actually helping their citizens...a characteristic of a true despotic regime.

There is not one Hamas leader who is competent to engage in diplomacy on the international stage. Bush was right when he said that Hamas was just a group of "thugs.". Hamas cannot govern, build a country, or provide for its citizens. They can't even build an effective Army and have contributed nothing to the infrastructure of Gaza. They should lookbin the mirror before calling Blair "stupid."

Even Hamas recognise that Blair is stupid

You can change stupidity with information. The Glenn Greenwalds of the earth will still support Hamas no matter what.

The suggestions by European leaders like Tony Blair and the ideas of the Turkish prime minister show how off they are. The Hamas will surely reject any peace initiative and there is no way to do diplomacy with terrorists who try to eliminate Israel. Actually this elimination is just a step in the grand scheme of these organizations. The tries to appease them y sacrificing Israel will backfire. If Israel is gone, Turkey, Egypt and the more moderate Arab countries will be next; Europe with growing Muslim population will take another 100 years and they will be gone too. If the world does not take actions in understanding that it is not an issue of occupation by Israel since 1948 Israel is also considered occupation. Also, Spain Andalus is also considered occupation, and Europe is "Dar el Harb" as well until radical Islam takes it over. Statements like Blair's only encourage the Hamas, see today's rocket attack. It is time for a broad treaty against terrorist organizations like the one taken against PIRATES at the time to eliminate the phenomenon. The attept to blame Israel's "occupation" for the ills of the Arab world and the Islamist terrorists is a big mistake. It is the rest of the world against extreme Islamists: any soft attempt to talk to them in a different way will be unsuccessful: Obama will not succeed (G.W. Bush tried and got 9/11) and Blair will fail as well (as a guy who moved from Anglican to Catholic belief he has to understand that the way he takes religion IS NOT the way these extremists do! Strategic thinking in the west, Turkey and moderate Arab nations if done right, will surely point them at the source of their own eventual END as non extreme Muslim states! Israel is only the first frontier! Do you get it Tony? Do you get it Rajep Tiep? Do regular Muslims who wish normal life get it?

Hamas will see their power erode in the next round of elections by the Palistian people!

know what's good for them. Losers.

What does it take to convince the Quartet, the EU, the West, the Obama US that Hamas is not, not ever going to 'recognize' Israel? It recognizes Israel, allright, as its mortal enemy - period. Not to understand this basic fact is to be knowingly an idiot.

"...today we are the foremost force in this arena," WTF? criminals that spend their time hiding underground while innocent people get killed because they're strategy is basically political propaganda. Is THIS what Palestinian aspirations have come to? Hamas has proven itself AN UTTER FAILURE at nation building and providing for the Gazan Arabs. It was never on their agenda to begin with.

Maybe they're right about Blair after all?

Blair, like the rest of the EU appeasers (now joined by Mr Mitchell) can barely restrain themselves from recognizing Hamas. Hamas blocks the formation of a Palestinian state. Blair was trying to encourage Hamas to lie just like Arafat & the PLO lied before Oslo. They have basically adopted the Arab position of a ''Unity Gov't.'' (Hamas + Fatah) so that the phoney peace process can continue as fast as possible. Hamas, on the other hand, knows it is dealing with a bunch of wimps. They want international recognition WITHOUT conditions & figure the wimps will just give in. That's not an unrealistic position, given that the wimps ALWAYS give in, eventually. Then Hamas gets another victory, looks ''better'' than Fatah among Palestinians, & weakens the already battered Abbas.

PLO and PA charades did the same. All they got is a blow in the face and West Bank land grab in broad daylight. 15 years of negotiations and our independent honorable state of Palestine is nowhere in sight, thanks to a network of jewish-only colonies, checkpoints, and systematic genocides. Hamas is right, Blair is a bozo. This is quite expected from the English who attempted to hand Palestine to Zionists on a silver platter !!!!

Your problem that you don’t know the nature of Hamas, you assume Hamas political party and this is wrong those are gang of ideological fanatics if you don’t agree with them you deserve to die. So please keep your comment for your self im sure you have never seen Palestine in your life and you don’t know about our suffering, my advice keep watching aljazeera and listen to Syria and Iran but stay away from us we can solve our problems with Israel if other parties remove their hands.

They are right. He is stupid and useless. Now, maybe, he will shut up about involving Hamas. Obama isn't. So lets see - "the world" who has recognized Hamas now includes Jimmy Carter and Tony Blair. They can come out of their rat holes and celebrate that fact once every couple of months. What a powerhouse. Plus it's only a matter of time before Israel bombs Al-Masri's face off.

With hamas still ruling the heap in gaza and speaking wildly about its aims and Europe submitting itself to arabs in order to keep its arab citizens quiet,israelis will severely punish barak, livni and olmert. While barak is careful, tricky and good at defense, it is clear that his political judgement stinks, that he is overly cautious and even wanted idf to ceasefire after 2 or 3 days. More to the point, rather than endless requests and begging of the US and others to help block smuggling, he should have ordered the retaking of philadelphi. Period. Closed. So labour may get 12 seats. As for Livni, this idiot who runs around with papers that she signed with the UN and the US that are worthless proves that her brother is right. The PMship is too much for her. So Kadima will be lucky to get 18 seats.Olmert will end up in the court dock and be tried for corruption and it will likely take 2 years and cause him harm. Beitenu, while having some problems in policy will get 17 seats as a protest. Likud, while not great will get 29 seats. If Yaalon is installed as defence minister and eitam is utilized, the gaza war will be a walk in the park compared to what's coming. As for Turkey, isreal should close this diplomatic channel and slow down all activities with Erdogan and his hanan ashrawi talking islamic radical wife Emine. He should not be involved in any future israel activities. And for syria and the golan, it is israeli, was stolen by syria and belongs to israel certainly post 67. Case closed. What is going to be, israel will live day to day. One cannot satisfy arabs short of israel dismantling itself which olmert virtually agreed to. So that phase is over. Rabin took a chance, was wrong, we all make mistakes and that whole business is over.

Blair, EU, Turkey, USA and the whole world is "Don't be that stupid to like us, we only want to destroy Israel, nothing more nothing less." This is another of their "brilliant" propaganda moves showing that as long as they are allowed to live in their caves, nothing bad may happen to them. Their people on the surface, well, that's another story. But why should they care about them, they are only war fodder at most.

As insulting as it sounds.Blair is yesterdays man ,a likeable fellow but merely symbolic.

Continuing to attack and murder people in the name of some god is just evil. The stupidest thing I've seen so far is Palestinian leaders allowing Hamas and Al Qaeda to use their citizens as human shields. Iran is hardly being mentioned but support and arm these henchmen to fire on Israel.

Hamas is right...

Blair represents the classic European stance, it has no distinction between good and evil,therefore, an immoral stance. The view Hamas just like Israeli freedom fighters. It is unwise to seek help from a continent that allowed murder of 6 million Jews. Rationale does not change, their reasoning will lead to the same. One should remember Islam allows to cancel contracts in order to achieve their goal. They cannot be trusted.

After the lastest war, Hamas claimed victory, I have no problems with that, but I think if they liked it, we should keep helping them feel good about themselves with another war!!!

news is, that blair fell of a bed he was sharing with a prositute, the resulting concussion has left him thinking he is devine. just wipe the druel of his chin and let him go on his way

Who was ever so suave and debonair,athough he meant well his theories were from hell ,in fact some say he is full of hot air....
