1. That's not "peace"....what a charlatan
Scott   (08.08.09)
Abbas is not 'moderate' he is a terrorist waiting for a chance to prove it. Didn't this piece of excrement fund and help organize the Munich Massacre?
2. The Impossible Dream
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville, USA   (08.08.09)
Well there go the negotiations yet again. One would think these fools would have learned by now that their chances of declaring Jerusalem their capital are about the same as Hezbollah, Hamas and the Mad Mullahs recognizing Israel's right to exist and demanding a peace treaty.
3. Note, 'liberate Palestinian land' knowing that Israel is
Eitan ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (08.08.09)
part of their 'Palestinian land'; and Jerusalem, the whole of it, is to become their capital city (although it has never been the capital city of any other state but the Jewish, ancient and present, state!), once again implying the elimination of Israel and its capital city. In essence, these 'moderates' follow the very same ideas set up by Arafat in 1954 when he established the Fatah in his drive to 'liberate' Palestine, that is the entire are from the Sea through the River and on to the Desert, beyond Amman.
4. JESUSALEN
JESUSALEN ,   JESUSALEN   (08.08.09)
JESUSALEN is the revelation of the lord jesus messiah (galus 21)
5. A real bunch of Gangsters the Fatah
AlbertoGA ,   St. George, USA   (08.08.09)
What Haverim,did you thing Fatah want ? They want what they always want ...all of Israel as a start. They have a very good friends in the white house now Obama and Hillary. Remember the visit she made at Arafat house years ago and dear Obama speach in Cairo...Ayayay ! Here we go. They want it all. If they want it that badly let them start War ! It is time to send them all in Jordan, Sinai and beyond.
6. FATAH - TERRORISTS WITH SUITS FUNDED BY THE US!
expel these thugs ,   back to tunisia!   (08.08.09)
7. Obama is the greatest President ever
(08.08.09)
With his naivity he managed to ply the evil truth from the PLO that Rabin was too blind to see.
8. Congratulations to the ruler of all Arabs,
Rick ,   New York   (08.08.09)
Muslims, and seculars. Give him a Nobel prize.
9. Abbass and Obaama. Muslim brothers in arms. Any questions?
Moshe ,   Israel   (08.08.09)
10. abbas speech
alexi   (08.08.09)
Abbas quoted olmert who offered almost all of the west bank, parts of the dead sea on the west bank, E. Jerusalem, and a land corridor cutting israel in 2 with a US guarantee. I told you israelis that olmert would do anything to save his skin and harm israel. This offer was made in return for nothing from the arabs, empty committment; along with his acquiecsence on right of return, taking back 50,000 arabs into over 10 years essentially means that olmert conceded one palestine with a jewish province.The blood boils at this sellout of jewish history and desires.Ths is coming from a hack who did not do combat for israel,whose sons also did not do combat or did not serve or protested the idf, whose family took holidays on the sweat of the holocaust dead according to the police and lador.Israel should be ashamed of dankner's buddy olmert who lost the hezbollah war , who let 1 million israels suffer 8000 rockets for months without response and who limited the idf to 500 yard incursions into gaza just like bint jbeil. Israel ought to be ashamed of this disgrace olmert, zaken and his buddies ramon, livni, bar--on, turgeman and turbowicz along with barnea, marcus and verter. We all know that dankner hid olmert's lack of military record from the public by blocking its inclusion in a piece in maariv. If israelis knew what he did in the idf, hemming and hawing, they would never have voted him in. Now Israel is stuck with a precedent which obama and abbas will be citing continuously.Bibi is trying to correct it.Olmert had better be indicted by mazuz, otherwise hashem could care less about israel.
11. Fatah: All of Jerusalem must be returned before negotiations
Eric ,   Tel Aviv   (08.08.09)
Thus ends their last chance for peace.
12. Bad news: same old, corrupt Fatah
JPS ,   Efrat   (08.08.09)
Just like the old days, huh? An Arab leader runs unopposed and wins a unanimous victory! There is no opposition within Fatah - there are no opposing voices to offer public criticism. In fact, it's just more of the same old crap we've come to expect from Fatah - the old guard will stay in power, give the plum jobs to their cronies, do their best to skim as much money off as they can, and screw Palestinians and their aspirations. The name of the game is not building an independent state - but rather the same old game of who is the strongest dog in the pack. Are there any Palestinian journalists brave enough to give us a summary of which Fatah "leaders" now have knives in their back, and which ones are going to do anything to reform this old, decrepit and corrupt body?
13. Abbas Relection: Reward for Job Poorly Done
ziggy zion ,   amaria   (08.08.09)
give Abbas creddit he fooled the palestinians into thinking he actually accomplished something. But we know the trugh, he survives because Israel props him up with reqards, afterall he is better than hamas. BUT WAIT, i just read his accpetance speech and you know what, HE ISN'T ANY BETTER THAN HAMAS, JUST SNEAKIER AT HIDING HIS TRUE OPINIONS .. ANOTHE FOOL TO LEAD A SHIP OF FOOLS INTO THE ABYSS. NO ARAB JERUSALEM EVER AND NO RIGHT OF RETURN. ABBAS SHOULD GO TALK TO OBAMA, BECASUE AFTER THAT SPEECH HE SHOULD GET NOTHING FROM US
14. Fatah took 'lessons' on fair elections FROM IRAN!
David ,   Hartford USA   (08.08.09)
More of the same. Did anyone expect anything else? Arafat robbed the 'Palestinians' for 30 years and now it's Abbas's turn to enrich himself and his family and friends. The 'Palestinians' must be the stupidest people on the face of the planet. At least the Iranians are demonstrating against their corrupt regime- the 'Palestinians BRAG about it! What total fools. And they blame Israel for all their problems! What idiots!
15. Another black day..
CaptAhab   (08.08.09)
.. in the Palestinian National Movement. Freedom, equality and justice will not reign over the holy land while these corrupt and racist leaders (Abbas, Lieberman, Netenyahu..) are in power. We'll have to wait for the next generation (or a miracle) before we, Arabs and Jews, can unite for the sake of our one, united and democratic nation.
16. #12
(08.08.09)
the only sane and incredibly ballanced palestinian journalist who sees the palestinians and their leadership for who they are is KHALID ABU TOAMEH. he writes for this newspaper.
17. Competitor web site calls YNet out
Steve   (08.09.09)
(IsraelNN.com) The Hebrew-language news website,Ynet, and its sister publication in English, Ynetnews, published on Thursday a sister’s tribute to the commander of one of the most heinous terror massacres in the country’s history – the Coastal Road Massacre..... http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/132786
18. We, Mr. Abbas, the 2.1billion Christians
asmeneyman ,   u.S.A.   (08.09.09)
of this world are not going to let the so-called Pal. Occupiers to do anything to our, and most especially the Jews Holy Land, especially not turn it into a Muslim Arab apartheid state such as Saudi Arabia. God bless Israel for ever and ever. Amen and amen!
19. One day and one day soon "trumpets will blow in Zion,"
ameneyman ,   Calif. U.S.A.   (08.09.09)
when "rivers of righteousness will flow and a might flood of justice will sweep throughout Israel.' When that day comes Israel's occupier's--the palastinians--will wish they never had started this ridiculous effort to turn Israel into another Muslim Arab apartheid state such as Saudi Arabia, which fits the true definition of an aparatheid state.
20. CORRUPT AS IRANIAN VOTE ?
R.SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (08.09.09)
21. Will a Palestinian state produce peace?
Ron B. ,   Lod   (08.09.09)
A poll by An-Najah National University in May showed a clear majority of Palestinians rejecting statehood alongside Israel. Despite this evidence, many prefer to believe that Israeli occupation is the core issue and that creating a Palestinian state will produce peace by ending it. This, too, makes no sense. It is simply a flat-earth statement to describe Judea, Samaria and Gaza as occupied. And how can Israeli and global leaders agree to negotiate with the Palestinians when their claims are built on a foundation of lies and deceit? More at : http://xrl.us/ostjf
22.  ISRAELI ARABS :YOUR ALLEGIANCE?
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (08.09.09)
POINT BLANK:WE CANNOT HAVE A FIFTH COLUMN HERE. ARAB SUPPORTERS OF PALESTINIAN LIBERATION PRINCIPLES MUST DISAVOW ALLEGIANCE TO "THE JEWISH STATE"A GOOD IDEA FOR ABBAS AS HIS NEXT MOVE:I AM SURE THAT ABBAS WOULD ENJOY RECEIVING A FORMAL LIST OF SUPPORTERS IN ISRAELI HELD JERUSALEM FOR A START.AND ALSO THOSE WHO DON"T AGREEWITH THE NEW CHARTER PRINCIPLES.LET US ON OUR PART BE AS CO-OPERATIVE AS POSSIBLE ON THIS EFFECT AND DEAL WITH PROBLEMS ARISING ONE AT A TIME AND STAGE BY STAGE.SOONER THAN SUBJECT PEOPLE TO " IMPOSED RULE" FOR THIS IS NOT CONDUCIVE TO SOLVING PROBLEMS.FIRST AMONGST WHICH THE SOCIAL SERVICES SHOULD PUT A STOP TO THE BENEFITS OF ARABS WHO WOULD LIKE TO DERIVE THE BEST OF BENEFITS FROM ISRAELI AND PALESTINI(AS YET UNDEFINED) WORLDS!
