1. Why don't they just hold an election?
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (06.28.11)
Ha, ha. I'm only kidding. Anyway, if they held an election, the winner would kill the loser. Or Hamas would stage a coup & then throw Fatah supporters off of tall buildings or kill them in their hospital beds (remember what they did in Gaza?). Fatah, of course, is worried about money, specifically, how much they can steal. They want Fayyad so that gullible Western suckers will continue throwing money down the Palestinian toilet. So, as usual, the Palestinians are making a salad (that's a French expression). The U.N. bid is a fiasco, there are no negotiations with Israel, there is no Palestinian ''unity'' - and, of course, they're broke. On the Israeli side, the official position is one of make-believe, a total charade, support for a two-state solution which gets more unrealistic by the day. As always, we are only talking to ourselves. Wouldn't it be refreshing to hear Netanyahu just come out & say that the whole idea of a Palestinian state is nonsense, just a load of crap?
2. What's the problem with Hamas-Fatah deal?
Dov   (06.28.11)
Although they are both terrorist organizations, for some illogical reason, the Israel Left are covering up for Fatah. Can anyone explain? Is it because the sly Fatah head wears western style jacket his organization is deemed less dangerous?
3. AND THEY EXPECT ISRAEL TO TALK TO FATAH?

WORLD FOOLS!
4. I am shocked!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.28.11)
Shocked, I tell you. The ersatz "Palestinians" are scorpions in a bottle that cannot agree on the time of day, let alone how to actually organize a viable government. I think it is time for the ersatz "Palestinians" to crawl off and find another dream. Statehood just isn't in their future. It really never was ....
5. This marriage is doomed to failure
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.28.11)
The parties can't agree on the pre-nuptial arrangements As it stands now, the divorce will come before they get hitched Cancel the wedding hall & caterer; shotgun weddings usually don’t work out
6. #3 The Left would and be promising the
DT ,   TA Israel   (06.28.11)
State of Israel for them
7. Ah, something new for a change?
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (06.28.11)
8. WE SEE THE TRUTH
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (06.28.11)
Is anybody really surprised by this? Seriously? You would have to be living in dreamland not to have expected this. We all know it was done for one reason only. That was to give the false appearance of a real government capable of running a new Arab entity, period. But we saw the cracks appear immediately. Hamas wanted to reverse any and all past agreements. Something that all by itself violates International Law. So that meant no country could legally even consider a New Arab entity. But of course that was ignored by the world. So now at least we all see it just a BS government. Not capable of running a country. Unless you think starting off with a civil war is a good start.
9. Sort of like...
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (06.28.11)
A same sex wedding and they can't decide who will be the bride and who will be the groom.
10. What did you expect?
Maurice ,   Montreal   (06.28.11)
No need to be a rocket scientist to predict the future of this "unity" government! All the better for Israel!
11. Hamas Fatah Impasse
Adam ,   London   (06.28.11)
These Folks Just Cannot Get Their S_ _t Together. Its Like Watching A Cheech And Chung Movie !!
12. Hamas-Fatah nuptials
Annette ,   USA   (06.28.11)
This is a Facebook marriage brokered by an Egyptian shidduch. We see it now for what it is: a virtual marriage with no grounding in reality. Get out of the chuppah, you two, and get real.
13. Gee whiz
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.28.11)
I have to cancel the Tuxedo I ordered for the wedding My wife hasn't removed the tags fromt he new dress she just bought, maybe they'll take it back with giving her a problem As the old saying goes "Don't count your chickens before they hatch"
14. Ben Jabo / 13
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (06.28.11)
It's probably just as well. I decided not to go because where civilized people throw rice at a wedding these clowns throw grenades.
15. #14 Eaglebeak
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.29.11)
They'll probably use teller mines for serving platters
16. to 13 and 14
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (06.29.11)
Sorry to hear about the inconvenience the "wedding" has caused you.But I also have a problem-I can't tell who was the bride to be.
17. #16 John Darren
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.29.11)
It doesn't matter who the bride was to have been, it was a "Queer" arrangment in the first place

It must be a co-incidence, at the bottom of this page, I keep seeing a toilet commode , I don't know if you're seeing the same graphic In my view it's where the Fatah/Hamas agreement went,down the tube
