1. Terrorist once- terrorist forever!
(05.10.11)
One cannot unring a bell. Even if you renounce terror, if you were in the past and your actions resulted in the death of innocent civilians, you are still a terrorist. Even if you only "tried" to kill but did not manage, you are still a terrorist. Just like Nazis, you will still be a Nazi. The wolf can change its skin but not its soul. Amr Moussa is a hypocrite and a terror suporter. He wants Israel gone just like Hamas, it's only a difference in style.
2. Looks liike we'll be taking the Sinai back again soon.

4. Gaza Blockade = result of Palestinian Terror!
(05.10.11)
Palestinians started by bombing the border passes to Israel so that the workers who tried to go into Israel and get a job, wouldn't be there. These bombings also stopped the inflow of goods from Israel and export of goods from Gaza. Then Palestinians started smuggling terorists through the borders, and then weapons which were forbidden by all the Israeli-Palestinian agreements. The Gaza blockade is the result of Palestinioan actions not of Israeli desire to "punish". Actually Israel is losing a whole deal of money from this blockade too: it cannot export anything to and import anything from Gaza. Building and services workers are not coming through from Gaza. Of course Gazans suffer too, but they should take this to their "democratically elected" Hamas Junta. They cannot expect freedom of movement into Israel while plotting and acting to destroy it. It simply doesn't wortk that way. A better solution is that Egypt re-incorporates Gaza. After all, Gaza has always been EGYPTIAN TERRITORY! It has NEVER been part of Israel, not even part of the British Mandate Palestine, so how can they expect now that Israel accepts it as "palestinian territory" and accept a "continuity" with the West Bank?
5. Nuclear issue means only Iran!
(05.10.11)
If Amr Moussa is afraid of a Nuclear Israel then he may be having a serious reason for this: his hidden desire to destroy Israel. A Nuclear Iran is means Nuclear blackmail for the entire world. If Amr Moussa has no problem with it, then iut is clear what Amr Moussa's intentiomns are - they are not peaceful!
6. Yea, right
Philadelphia, PA USA   (05.10.11)
Please just take a look at the picture in the middle of this article. Now tell me that these aren't terrorists! It's completely baffling and frustrating to me how anyone in the West can actually support these thugs.
7. Egypt-Israel peace is based on the Egypt-Israeli Treaty!
(05.10.11)
NOT on some after-thought defined by Arab Thugs four years later, at a ganga gathering of the Arab League. Israel has nothing to do with the Arab League so any decision reached there is not binding Israel in any way! Amr Moussa - go to hell!
8. If Hamas are not a terror organization, why wear masks?
(05.10.11)
9. Hamas not a terror group
Jos van Klaveren ,   the Nethetrlands   (05.10.11)
Probably the ALS and Secretary-General and one of Egypt's leading presidential candidates Mr. Amr Moussa believes also that becouse cheese is yellow and the moon is yellow, the moon is made out of cheese!
10. i'm sure he never referred to Israel as Jerusalem as this
david ,   uk   (05.10.11)
article implies
11. thank you, amr moussa, for showing us that you're an idiot
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (05.10.11)
'tis better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
12. YEa right
IlanaB   (05.10.11)
DO they really believe that we believe them? How stupid can a liar get?
13. A VERY Uneducated, Foolish Entity Indeed
EZ ,   US   (05.10.11)
Sounds like the muslim brotherhood has taken the reigns in Egypt. Now, they r showing their TRUE colors. "relations with the US based on the opinions of the people...". OK: well, the majority of Egyptians hate the US so you can go piss off now. No more aid and dont think Russia will be stepping in...or china: they HATE Muslims...they too have been victims of Muslim terrorists. You idiots are welcome to re-enter the stoneage again: enjoy! But if you threaten Israel, you will lose more than you can imagine. And as an individual, this "front runner" is a front runner for more than just the Egyptian presidency: he's also the front runner for a head shot from a snipers rifle (US, Israel...take your pick). It's truly amazing how stupid these Arab nations are...almost inconceivable. And the size of their egos...whew!!! The world has NO comparison! Egypt should crash and burn: backstabbing boneheads. TAKE BACK THE SINAI NOW!!!
14. What else? A group of altruists?
Susya Bar Dror ,   IL   (05.10.11)
Or a Union of Santa Clauses? Amr Moussa himself hates Israelis and Jews, despite or because of his jewish wife. He is paid by the arab league: wess' Brot is ess, dess' Lied ich sing.
15. He is best suited to be President
Shalom ,   Ashdod, Israel   (05.10.11)
He is such an idiot and is, therefore, most suited to be President of Egypt. Soon he will come begging Israel (or what did he call it Jerusalem!!!) to do something about Iran. He is 75 and is overdue to retire. Please do us all a favor and go to hell. PS once you go to hell stay there because it is permanent
16. "Minorities" rejecting Hamas are same ones bankrolling Egypt
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego, USA   (05.10.11)
Egypt would be a bankrupt, failed state without being propped up by the same "minority of nations" that reject Hamas as being a terrorist group. Moussa is part of the same clique of Egyptian "leaders" that blame Israel (250 miles across the waterless Sinai) for"stealing Egypt's water" and causing the current and worsening water shortages. Which is nothing, compared to what will happen in the coming few years as African nations that provide 100% of the Niles water but get only 20% of it to use themselves (Egypt gets 80% under an archaic colonial formula) demand their fair share - and are building dams on the lower Nile to take what is theirs. Egypt and the Arab League under Amer Moussa, rather than realizing they have to accept massive Nile redistribution and negotiate a new non-exploitive deal with Black Africa, have chosen instead - you guessed it - to blame Israel!! The Moussa plan is to "pressure" the West using anti-Israel hostility until Egypt gets what it wants - the North Korea model. America and the West need to withhold aid and shut off arms until Egypt changes course, and soon.
17. I know, I know. They are a dancing group.
(05.10.11)
18. Hamas is not worse than Fatah. They're both terror groups
Chaim   (05.10.11)
In fact most suicide bombers in Israel the last few years were from Fatah.
19. Let Moussa and our own idiot,Shimon Peres form a mutual
tom ,   tel aviv   (05.10.11)
admiration society where they both can smoke nargillah and tell each other wonderful stories: one will talk about "Peace in the New ME" and the other about Hammas helping needy children and old ladies; just so we won't have to listen to their crap...!
20. Memory-lapse Moussa
Ehoop ,   UK   (05.10.11)
"Being a terrorist isn't a stigma forever". Not even one month, in Amr Moussa's book, apparently, the moment in time ago that Hamas targeted a school bus with a Kornet guded anti-tank missile.
21. Mr. Moussa is a supporter of terrorists...
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.10.11)
NOTHING new about it...!!!
22. GREAT, THE NUTS ARE BACK
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (05.10.11)
We see where this is going, nothing like blind hatred. Should we care how his people care, yep! That was clearly part of the Egyptian protests, the part the Western Media hid from the public. Let's see a list of countries, in his book, divided by what countries consider Hamas a terror group, and those that don't. I curious?
23. Yeah, and Hitler was not a Nazi
Yaniv ,   Israel   (05.10.11)
24. I Despise Amr Moussa
Abdel Karim Salim ,   Jerusalem   (05.10.11)
Amr Moussa is a parrot.Why did Amr Moussa not reveal his true opinion about Israel,Iran,and the Palestinians long before Mubarak was deposed ? Moussa is now betraying himself and exposing himself as a genuine hypocrite. Who is going to be fooled by his playing nationalistic arab now ? Of all Egyptians,especially Egyptian government officials,Amr Moussa is the one I despise most !
25. Amr Mousa
tz ,   Jerusalem   (05.10.11)
water seeks its own level Mr. Mousa...You would do well to remember you can fool some of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time....
26. Sinai
Baruch Adania ,   Sweden   (05.10.11)
Israel NEED to regain full control of the Sinai, and have a say in whom are getting through the Canal and whom not. Israel will need to act swiftly at the VERY NEXT Egyptian provocation, or Egyptian tampering with the proviso of the Peace-accord.
27. So the treaty with egypt will be changed
zionist forever   (05.10.11)
Moussa is the favorite to win the presidency and we already have him telling us Hamas is not a terrorist group and he wants an Egypt / Israel peace treaty to be basesd on the arab initiative rather than the deal done in 1979 Peace treaties are such wonderful things, sign up to them with one government says it wants to change the rules. Pretty soon we could have him as president and the Muslim Brotherhood with a significant voice in the parliament. Ah I really do miss Mubarak.
28. Amr Moussa dig yourself a hole
Philippe Delaporte ,   Marseilles France   (05.10.11)
and vanish , you are just as useless and big mouthed as your brothers. Just looking at your picture makes me want to spit and throw a shoe on you.
29. The Hamas-Fatah Union will not be a terror entity when it:
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (05.10.11)
1) Accept Israel's right to be, to exist as the nation-state of the Jewish people 2) Renounce terror and violence against Israel and Israelis and all preparations for such acts, and when it decommission itself of the illicit weapons it has amassed 3) Accept and adhere to agreements with Israel already signed by the parties These demands were placed forth by the UN, EU, US and Russia. It is high time the Arab League accept them as well...!! A
30. #8 And why are the IDF soldiers' faces always blurred!!!
