Why are you trying to turn a terrorist into a peace partner? It didn't work with Arafat and it wont work with Abbas. Let him play kissy kissy with hamas and then turn off the electricity and shut off the water. And if YOU can't, Lieberman can!

it was the poeple who asked for it not him

The French as neighbours - not so bad after all, and that nice British Channel separating us from each other...

by the Arabs of Eretz Israel (Land of Israel) in their own foot. They did so in 1947 when they rejected UN 181; again when they rejected Begin/Saadat offer of 1978; again in 2000 when they turned their back on the Barak/Clinton offer; and, once again, when they refused to answer in the affirmative to the Olmert/Bush offer of 2008. Now, Israel, since 2009, has been waiting around the negotiating table ready to talk, but their leadership, instead of simply accept Israel's right to exist as the nation-state of the Jewish people, and accept a peace treaty as the "end of the conflict", prefer to continue to sustain the conflict, this time through the Hams-Fatah collaboration. Hamas, mind you, only yesterday denounced the US for having killed Ossama Bin-Laden, and Fatah, mind you, refuse to express its appreciation of the killing in Arabic...!!

step down and give Lieberman a chance. He has something you, unfortunately, do not posess, i.e. COURAGE!

but still in search someone to surrender to.

Perhaps the PLO charter of Mazen's Fatah also calls for the elimination of Israel. Perhaps Fatah and Hamas both want to destroy Israel, albeit with a different strategy. Thank God Fatah and Hamas joined together to prevent "two-staters" from giving our Land to the enemy bent on our destruction.

For the sake of the secure future of Israel, let Lieberman take over. Send Barak and Bibi for a long holiday.

If Fatah and hamas join forces, then there is no possibilities to have peace in the near future. If Fatah has the nerve to reject the new agreement, then there still can be hope. But hamas and its terror-members should be transported to Egypt by force to be dissolved into the people of Egypt. Might be they will learn something....

or the peace process works .... which i'm guessing you son't let me explain to you you nagotiate wth people bent on you're distruction and you make peace with them so they would stop being bent on you're distruction not the other way arround

"How can one reach peace with a government half of which is calling for Israel's destruction and even praises arch-terrorist Osama bin Laden?" --- Is there anything else to add? There is no way the US and the EU will approve a "Palestinian" state under these conditions!

The reconciliation between the Fatah and Hamas terrorist gangs is good news for Israel. It permanently puts to rest the lunatic idea that Fatah are Israel's friends and peace partners. The truth is that Fatah are much more dangerous than their Hamas rivals. Fatah has maimed and murdered far more Israelis than Hamas. Moreover, Hamas are more honest. Hamas admits it's genocidal intentions in all languages. Fatah mostly admits it's genocidal intentions in Arabic. Now all excuses for making concessions to Fatah are gone.

"How can one reach peace with a government half of which is calling for Israel's destruction and even praises arch-terrorist Osama bin Laden?" For the UN to vote a Palestinian State into existence is sheer insanity. The only possibility for a Palestinian State in the region is through direct negotiations with Israel- and Hamas must recognize Israel's right to exist. One cannot live in peaceful coexistence with those who are threatening to destroy you.

He would have trumped the deal on behalf of Israel!

israeli coalition is made of terorrists ( likud) combined with another terrorist ( liberman )

More legitimate reasons whod be are those of Dr. Ahmadinejad about disolution of Israel, than those of Israels Netanyahu. Both are wrong, reality of Israel is here, only difference is that Israel was created for people who sufered horrors of WW2, not for people who brought suffering to innocent people of Palestine.... petr czech
