1. Peace
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (03.30.09)
On whose terms? Yours? Oh, I think not. Don't forget all those wars you lost. The two-state solution that you TWICE turned down. Still -- if life in the West Bank is such an ordeal, here's a suggestion: pack up and leave. You are not wanted, and you will not be missed. Really.
2. Living Hell
MacMeldrew ,   Israel   (03.30.09)
You 'Palestinians" have made our lives a living hell for many many years!Why did the wall go up then,because you 'Palestinians' chose death over life.Walls can come down in hours.The Jewish lives that you took can never be again.Shame on you for not admitting that the wall was your own evil doing.
3. Another Bad Decision
Bob O'Really ,   Australia   (03.30.09)
The Israeli government has chosen the path of aggression and settlement instead of peace," he said. The Annapolis conference, the construction of the "racist wall",the Israeli blockade,the Judaizing of Jerusalem and the imprisonment of 11,000 Palestinians,the IDF,Benjamin Netanyahu, YNet Talkbackers.......it just keeps repeating.
4. PALESTINIAN VIOLENCE MAKES LIVING HELL FOR ISRAELIS
Aaron ,   SF, USA   (03.30.09)
...So the state decided to construct a wall to stop such violence. Please remember who initiated all the wars, the suicide bombers, the rocket launches, the kidnapped soldiers, the poisoning schemes, etc. before talking about how a wall and blockade has made life horrible for the Pals.
5. Sarah do not give us lectures for the US
Indigenous ,   Nablus Palestine   (03.30.09)
Sarah, You should occasionally switch from FOX news to some real news , just two min a day... We were here before you and we will be here after you. Time is in our side
6. Peace?
Frank ,   Canada   (03.30.09)
Arabs must prove that they want peace and that they are willing to compromise with Israel. As a proof, they must dismantle all their settlements in Jerusalem and demolish the mosque they built on the Temple Mount.
7. Abbas full of crap
GZLives   (03.30.09)
If Abbas has followed the "rise of extremist forces" in Israel perhaps he may have seen it mirror the vile Jew hatred his side has perpetrated throughout the entire population beginning from the Farfur TV cartoon shows directed it 3 year olds teaching them how wonderful becoming a Shaheed killing Jews would be as a goal in life. Its obvious that these Arabs want nothing to do with "peace" and are only in it for international handouts while they continue their Jihad using their own tiny intellectual class as pawns in the same Islamist agenda all this began as back in the last century. When Abbas can say the words, "Israel is the Jewish State" maybe, just maybe his claim that he wants peace will be believable, but until then, his mischaracterizations of the security fence as being "racist" rather then the humane way to stop suicide bombers, or Israel's "Judaization" of Jerusalem, as if the Arabs have any claims to this city at all, or calling Israel's last resort in Gaza to end the endless rockets being fired at Sderot, Abbas can only be seen as a babbling fool full of the same Islamist bile we've been hearing for years.
8. Inconveniences to Palestinians
Wade ,   NYC USA   (03.30.09)
I am not crying for them. They continue to preach hatred of Jews. Their society spawned and glorified the suicide bombers that killed our innocent citizens. The security barrier is a lot more accommodating than open warfare would be, and that would be the only alternative. Don't forget that Abbas is a holocaust denier, so no wonder he pretends that Palestinians do not have an on-going campaign to murder Israeli Jews.
9. ISRAEL CHOSE SETTLEMENT??? GOOD CHOICE!
stude ham   (03.30.09)
if the arabs ever had really wanted peace with the Jewish people they would have marched on that road some 61 years ago. after 60 years and their vitriolic anti-israel hate mongering the Jewish people know the real score. keep our lands... reclaim our lands... and let abbasand our enemies join arafat yamach shamoi..
10. i will vote for hamas next time
saher   (03.30.09)

11. #5 , Dumber Then a Bag of Hammers
Gad ben Shalom ,   Jerusalem   (03.30.09)
Please....you dumb terd. Here before Us , who do you think your talking too ? Your Children ? Go ahead and lie thru your teeth to them ,but baby pick up a history book . I dare you . The Jews were here on the ground you walk on 1500 years before your muhammed ever beat his 1st wife. Go back to reading mien kemph you Teepesh Gadol . You & your suicide bombing idiots will blow yourselves up along with your koran soon enough. And Like Always in History the Jewish People will still Be Here in HaEretz!
12. Funny thing........
Lior ,   Israel   (03.30.09)
Abbas says: "Palestinian president says Authority closely following 'rise of extremist forces... IN ISRAEL" In the mean time the Fatah charter calls for the destruction of Israel. Abbas santioned a poster which shows all of ISRAEL PALESTINE! There is not a corner of the WB and GAZA where this poster can not be found. ....and talk about the pot calling the kettle black. When avowed Jew killer Samir Kuntar was released from prison Abbas went straight to Beirut to personally congratulate him. Shortly after, Kuntar took time from Hezbollah training to proclaim he would not rest until every man woman and child in Israel is destroyed. Shortly after that Kuntar made a trip to Iran to make more scathing rants against Jews. Abbas is able to spew his BS because he is allowed to by all the western diplomats and heads of state who have lied for him making him into some kind of peace loving human being. (remember MUNICH!) As for Israel calling him a peace partner it is simply because all of the above have insisted so. (by means of knife in the back and nose pushed to the corner) Abbas and his large team of egomaniac Anti-Semitic whitewashers must be confronted. If not the lies will never stop. Soon no one will know the difference...
13. Abbas double speak
Jewstin ,   Seattle   (03.30.09)
The Wall has stopped 99% of terrorist attacks against Israeli citizens. The suffering you attribute to the wall is due to your own political goals to wipe Israel off the map. Abbas is up to his old double talk, never honest and only saving his own skin. We need real peace partners that take into account the result of their own actions.
14. #5 You are an ignorant idiot!Don't stand a chance
(03.30.09)
No surprise you are in the shape you are in, all born idiots!
15. Is Abbas blind or something?
Maria ,   MD   (03.30.09)
He doesn't see his people's faults.His people are the troublemakers in Israel.Palestinians are making their own ghetto.
16. ALLAH REJECTS CREATION OF UNHOLY PALESTINIAN STATE (part 1)
Mohammed ,   Mecca, Saudi Arabia   (03.30.09)
Muslims are not the Israelites or Children of Israel but are the Ishmaelites. Muslims are from the bloodline of Prophet Ismail (Ishmael). The Jews or Children of Israel are from the bloodline of Prophet Ishaq (Isaac) and Prophet Yaqub (Jacob). Not only does the Quran acknowledge that the land (of Israel) belongs to the Jews but the Jewish Bible (Torah) and Christian Bible also make such acknowledgment. Also, Muslims were never enslaved in Egypt for hundreds of years by Pharaoh. Pharaoh enslaved the Children of Prophet Yaqub (Jacob). Allah then sent Musa (Moses) to save the Jews from Pharaoh's tyranny. When the Children of Israel were saved, Allah gave Musa (Moses) the Torah on Mount Sinai. The Ishmaelites didn’t receive the Torah. The Israelites received the Torah. Surah 44 Verse 30: "We did deliver aforetime the Children of Israel from humiliating Punishment," Surah 44 Verse 31: "Inflicted by Pharaoh, for he was arrogant (even) among inordinate transgressors." Surah 10 Verse 75: "Then after them sent We Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh and his chiefs with Our Signs. But they were arrogant: they were a people in sin." Surah 2 Verse 50: "And remember We divided the sea for you and saved you and drowned Pharaoh's people within your very sight." Allah promised the land (of Israel) to the twelve sons/tribes/chieftains of Prophet Yaqub (Jacob) in surah 17 verse 104 & surah 5 verse 12 (among others). Prophet Musa (Moses) and Prophet Haroon (Aaron) were from the Israelite tribe of Levi and are regarded as Levites. Muslims have no connection to the twelve tribes of Israel. Therefore, Muslims have no right to the land of Israel. Muslims can only visit the land of Israel. All of the suicide bombings and terrorist acts around the world are as a result of Palestinians' rejection of Allah's command. If "Palestinians" adhered to Allah’s word in the Quran, the world would be a more peaceful place. There is no real peace in the world today because of the actions of "Palestinians" occupying non-Muslim land. "Palestinians" have brainwashed the Arab world into thinking that they have a right to the land (of Israel). Allah promised the Jews that he would gather them amongst various nations and return them to their land of promise (Israel). "Palestinians" are leading the Muslim world into conflict with Allah. Surah 6 verse 21 states, "Who doth more wrong than he who inventeth a lie against Allah or rejecteth His signs? But verily the wrong-doers never shall prosper". "Palestinians" went against Allah by inventing this lie of "Palestine" over the holy nation of Israel and rejected Allah’s signs of the return of Israel in the Quran. As a result of Palestinians’ violation of surah 6 verse 21, Allah fulfilled his promise of making certain that "the wrong-doers never shall prosper". Today, "Palestinians" have one of the highest rates of poverty and jobless claims in the world. The "Palestinians" also duped the Islamic world into chanting "Death to Israel". Chanting "Death to Israel" is the equivalency of saying "Death to the Prophet Yaqub (Jacob)". The term "Israel" is a very holy name in the Quran. The Quran makes it very clear that the term "Israel" derives from the Prophet Yaqub (Jacob) and his twelve sons. I will also never say "Al mout li Israil" (Death to Israel) because the Jews just like the Muslims are descendants of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham). Our roots connect with Ibrahim (our Prophet and Father) and we are cousins. Every time "Palestinians" send rockets into Israel and conduct suicide missions in Israel, "Palestinians" declare war on Prophet Ibrahim because Israel is the homeland of Ibrahim as well as Prophets Isa (Jesus), Ishaq (Isaac), Yaqub (Jacob), Yusef (Joseph), Dawud (King David), Lut (Lot), Haroon (Aaron), Sulayman (King Solomon), Yunus (Jonah), Al-Yasa (Elisha), Zakariya (Zechariah), Yahya ibn Zakariyya (John the Baptist) and Ilyas (Elijah). All of these wonderful Israeli people are prophets in Islam.
17. THE WALL IS THERE BECAUSE ...
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (03.30.09)
YOUR PEOPLE KILL,AND YOU DO NOT OUTRIGHTLY CONDEMN THEIR MURDEROUS INTENTIONS .YOU INHERITED THIS LEGACY FROM ARAFAT , TO DESTROY ISRAEL PHYSICALLY BECAUSE YOUR RELIGION DICTATES THIS,THE KILLING OF JEWS AND INFIDELS.YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE ARE ROTTEN TO THE CORE.I HOPE THAT THE INCOMING RECOGNISES YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE AND DESPITE WORLD PRESSURE YOU ARE SOLIDLY CONFINED BEHIND THIS AND A FURTHER EXTENDED WALL SO WE ARE FURTHER PROTECTED.MAY YOU BE DAMNED FOR YOUR INTRANGENCIES AND RETENTION OF OUR INSIGNIFICANT SOLDIER, OF NEXT TO NOTHING IN RANK BUT FOR WHOM WE LOVE AND FEAR THAT HARM WILL BEFALL HIM BECAUSE YOU ,THE PA,,HAMAS ,AND FATEH FROM PAST EXPERIENCE DO NOT TREAT PRISONERS HUMANELY.MAY THIS WALL GROW AND BECOME THE BOUNDARIES OF YOUR GHETTO TILL THE END OF TIME.! THAT"S IT I"M GLAD I"M NO DIPLOMAT AND DON"T HAVE TO COUCH BEHIND WORDS AND SO,I"M GLAD THAT BY PLAIN SPEAKING I"VE GOT THIS FEELING AT LAST FINALLY OFF MY CHEST.I HOPE ABBAS READS Y-NET!
18. ALLAH REJECTS CREATION OF UNHOLY PALESTINIAN STATE (part 2)
Mohammed ,   Mecca, Saudi Arabia   (03.30.09)
I say once again, "Palestinians" are evildoers (kuffars) and are leading Muslims into confrontation with Allah. This is common sense and is a test of Allah. You have to think intelligently and not like a silly or delusional child. Surah 8 verse 22 states, "For the worst of beasts in the sight of Allah are the deaf and the dumb,- those who understand not". "Palestinians" clearly fit the profile that Allah references in Surah 8 verse 22. Muslims have to put aside any hatred for the Jews and condemn "Palestinians" living on land that was not assigned to them by Allah. Just think for a second. Why was it that Arab nations were destroyed by a flimsy country like Israel in 1948, 1967 and 1973? Israel was outnumbered by the number of Arab soldiers and weapons it possessed but Israel was still able to simultaneously crush the massive armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq (48,67,73), Saudi Arabia (1948), Lebanon (1948), Yemen (1948) and Libya (1948) into submission in countless wars. How can this happen? Israel is a tiny sliver of a land with a small group of people. The Quran also acknowledged in surah 26 verse 54, "These (Israelites) are but a small band". Wasn’t Allah on the side of Muslims on this matter? No, No, and No. Allah warned Muslims in the Quran in surah 17 verse 104 that he would gather the Children of Israel out of various nations and return them to their land of promise. Allah is not an aggressor. Allah witnessed the suffering of the Jews by the hands of dictators for thousands of years and therefore allowed the Jews to return to their holy ancient homeland. Allah knows that the Jews produced more than half of the prophets in Islam. How can Muslims overlook the fact that the Jews contributed a lot of its (Jewish) prophets from Israel to Islam. Prophets Isa (Jesus), Ishaq (Isaac), Yaqub (Jacob), Yusef (Joseph), Dawud (King David), Lut (Lot), Haroon (Aaron), Sulayman (King Solomon), Yunus (Jonah), Al-Yasa (Elisha), Zakariya (Zechariah), Yahya ibn Zakariyya (John the Baptist) and Ilyas (Elijah) were all Israelis. I say again, all these prophets in Islam were Israelis. We should be very thankful to the Israelis but what do the Arab nations do? The Arab nations endlessly condemn a holy country like Israel. A real Muslim can’t utter the words "Al mout li Israil" (Death to Israel). It is a slap in the face of all Israeli prophets in Islam. This is an act that can only satisfy Shaytan (Satan). If you commit acts that satisfy Shaytan then you are a follower of Shaytan. It’s that simple. It is because of "Palestinians" that Muslims from certain countries can't visit holy sites in Israel like the resting place of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), Prophet Ishaq (Isaac), Prophet Yaqub (Jacob), Prophet Yusef (Joseph) Prophet Dawud (King David) and Al-Aqsa Mosque & al-Haram ash-Sharif (Temple Mount). Israel allows Christians from around the world visit holy sites in Israel. The problem that Muslims face today is with "Palestinians" not the Israelis. If "Palestinians" left Israel today, Israel would allow Muslims from around the world visit holy sites in its country. We, Muslims, want to visit these holy sites and pay our respect to these prophets but "Palestinians" block us from doing so. "Palestinians" are not Muslims. If "Palestinians" were Muslims then they would not be living on the land of Israel and fighting with Allah's words in the Quran. So, don't tell me that "Palestinians" are Muslims because that would anger real Muslims. Over the century, "Palestinians" have turned Islam from a religion to a political system. This has to stop. There is no "Palestine" in the Quran but only Israel and the Jews are the rightful owners to the land as it is said in the Jewish Bible, Christian Bible and the Quran. Sooner or later, all Muslim countries will realize this fact. Hatred of Israel embedded in the Muslim body will one day be cleansed and we will apologize to the Israelis for all the anguish we put them through. It’s a promise.
