1. THEY HAVE PRISONS AND PRISONERS?
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (08.07.11)
Seems rather odd that unelected political parties can have prisons and prisoners.Only aspiring future members of the evil Arab supremacist League could do that and regard it as normal and acceptable. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
2. ALL prisoners?
Jacob Erickson ,   Holon, Israel   (08.07.11)
Or just Palestinian prisoners? Either they will put on Paper all "Palestinian" prisoners to make it so Gilad Shalit is not part of it... or they'll write all prisoners in the West Bank and Gaza because he has been moved somewhere else.
3. #1 Are they any worse than Israel's unelected judges
(08.07.11)
who make up their own laws as they see fit and do whatever they want?

5. PALLYWOOD DELUXE
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.07.11)
More Pallywood nonsense, as the article clearly and correctly stated: "their historic reconciliation – which the West eyes with concern and many analysts believe was put in place simply to propel the PA's September bid for statehood in the UN – into de facto results on the ground. " Let me translate that into plain English. It's all BS for show, because to even be considered for statehood they have to have a government. The Pals DO NOT. They still don't, this is simply a show for the West. Nothing has changed. We call it Pallywood. Fabricate a story for the Western Media, but it's all lies. Called "Taqiyya", which in the Koran means to lie to your enemy in order to achieve your true goal. But nobody believes the Pals anymore, they have lied so many times, and been caught at it, that everything they say isn't believed anymore. Nice try, NO CIGAR.
6. Pa and Hamas, bunch of nonsense
Marcelo ,   World   (08.08.11)
1- PA, Hamas, your new passports will need to be attached to the missiles you shoot against israeli children. 2 - PA, you will be liable to what Hamas does as killing machine. Get your B...ready for some kicks 3 - Abbas and Mashaal feel they are somebody, but you both lack honor and humanity due to your criminal records. 4 - You BOTH are criminally keeping a child kidnapped for 5+ years with no access to outside world (red cross,e tc). FREE GILAD SHALIT.
7. #5 Taqiyya
observer ,   Egypt   (08.08.11)
Taqiyya is believed by a minority Shiites sect only to save their lives in face of faith conflict. Taqiyya was practiced by Jews in Spain. Today it is widely practiced by crypto Jews in America. Hasbarah Jew.
8. It is absolute amazing how stupid PALs can be
meir elazar   (08.08.11)
After Disengagement, HAMAS destroyed the greenhouses that could have brought them millions of dollars. HAMAS has never even considered a peace option. The more terror they brought on Israel, the more suffering they caused for their own people as Israel was forced to devise security measures to protect their people. The war betweem Hamas and Fatah created a unique opportunity for FATAH to negotiate any deal with Israel and get International recognition and tons of money from everywhere. But Fatah is now going to reconcile with HAMAS and totally delegitimize themselves and lose all chances for statehood. Not too bright.
9. when will these "people"
David ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.08.11)
release Shalit? bunch of murdering animals!!!
10. You release my killer, I'll release your killer. What a way
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (08.08.11)
to start a new falistinian state, release all the terrorists so they can their killing all over.
11. Oh get off it, #7... taqiyya is standard Arab policy
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (08.08.11)
A minority of Shiites? Where did you dream that one up? Or don't you read the Egyptian press that lies all the time? Crikey, your country (Egypt) just had a revolution because the people got sick and tired of the government's taqiyya - that's why Hosni is on trial, remember? And what about Assad? All his taqiyyaing over the past 1/2 year about blaming others for the murder of thousands of his citizens by his army? Just what are you observing, anyway? Because you don't seem to be very observant at all...
12. The necktie makes the difference
Susya Bar Dror ,   IL   (08.08.11)
with a necktie Ashton would accept even a massmurderer from Hamas. Regarding "Taqqiyya", this is still a valid muslimic procedure to cheat enemies. For islam, jews are eternal enemies. Otherwise, we would already have peace with arabs.
13. #11are you preaching Islam to Muslims?
observer ,   Egypt   (08.08.11)
Alawites are not Muslims, Ask the Syrians.
14. Only Lieberman has the right idea.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (08.08.11)
Break off relations with the PA & stop transfer of funds. And, in Sept., when the PA makes it's UN bid, annex Area C. The Oslo Accords are dead.
15. No more "push 'em off the building" show?
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (08.08.11)
16. #7;observer, YOUR BUSTED
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.08.11)
That is laughable. Show me anywhere where Israel or any of their supporters engaged in the well documented "Pallywood". I ask anyone to simply type that word into their address bar, at the top of your page, and watch the video. Then remember the "fake flotilla", "the fake crisis in Gaza", type in "photo fraud in Lebanon" and watch the video, the "fake massacre in Jennin"., "the phony Gaza beach bombing" just to name 6 LIES off the top of my head that are proof positive. Now I challenge you to demonstrate anything even remotely similar from Israel. BTW Hasbara means a truthful response, not propaganda. Your simply afraid of legitimate political debate. So Arabs misuse the term to imply it's a lie. Prove it!!! CASE CLOSED, YOU LOSE AGAIN
17. #13, yes I am
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (08.08.11)
So tell us why the Egyptian government has been lying to the Egyptian people for decades. Or are you telling us that the governments of Hosni and Anwar and Gamal were all telling you the truth every day....? Syria's Alawite dictator employs lots of Muslims. Are you telling us they are all honest? Cripes, the Arab Spring has yet to hit the talkbackers...
18. #16
observer ,   Egypt   (08.08.11)
The minority sect who believe in Taqiyya are strictly instructed to use it to hide their true faith in case of grave danger to their lives in this case only, not in other case i.e. only to hide their religion if that will save their life. The Knesset decided to shelve a proposal for a parliamentary discussion on the Armenian genocide, in compliance with PM Ehud Olmert's request. The state of Israel does not officially recognize the Armenian Genocide, despite the fact that the Jews themselves were victims of a similiar genocide for which Adolf Hitler himself used the Armenian massacres as an example. do you know why? The official story is that a group of Muslims -- known as the Young Turks -- were responsible, but there is a lot of evidence that the Young Turks were Crypto Jews. Lying has nothing to do with Islam or Quraan. korkak hasbarah yehudi.
19. To #13 Alawite Muslims
John ,   Alaska   (08.09.11)
Information on Alawites is sparse, but according to the CIA World Factbook, these are the religions of Syria: "Sunni Muslim 74%, other Muslim (includes Alawite, Druze) 16%, Christian (various denominations) 10%, Jewish (tiny communities in Damascus, Al Qamishli, and Aleppo)" You might or might not respect the intelligence community of what I'm sure you call the Great Satan, but the US government is globally respected as an authoritative source of information.
20. #19 Neturei Karta are Charedi, or ultra-Orthodox
observer ,   Egypt   (08.09.11)
although Syrian Alawites sect to Muslims is much worse than NK to Jews, Sunni Muslims accept them and coexist together for hundreds of years. Syrian Alawites are totally different from Moroccan or Yemenite Alawites.
21. #20 please rephrase and resend
John ,   Alaska   (08.10.11)
Your phrasing is unintelligible. Are you saying that Sunni Muslims have coexisted with what the CIA World Fact Book refers to "Other Muslims"? Or that Sunni Muslims coexisted with Jews? Also, I'm not sure why I would care about Alawites from different countries? In America, various Christian denominations disagree with others of their same denomination in the same town. The fact is, God (the _real_ one, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) won't care if you're Alawite of Sunni or athiest if you attack Israel. You will lose and you will probably die. But the real tragedy will be that you could have prospered with Jewish Israel, if only you had chosen to live in peace with the apple of God's eye.
22. #21 does G-d demand that we support all actions of Israel?
observer ,   Egypt   (08.10.11)
when Israel was a nation specially chosen by, and ruled over by, Jehovah, He did not expect His people to support and endorse all actions of the government of Israel. When the Government of Israel committed human rights violations, the prophets openly condemned them, 2 Kings 6:21 –23, 2 Chronicles 28:9-11, Nehemiah 5:7-11, Jeremiah 34:11-17, Amos 2:6-7, etc. Moses commanded the Hebrews that they should not oppress the strangers or non-Jews in their lands, Exodus 12:49, 22:21, 23:9, Leviticus 19:33-34, 25:35, Deuteronomy 10:18-19, 23:7, 24:17, 27:19.
23. #16;observer, FALSE HISTORY AGAIN
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.10.11)
Stop the false history, it's not hard to research the Armenian Genocide. What you state about the Jewish people is only spouted on the most kooky antisemitic sites. All reputable sites and historians actually put the blame on the Muslims. The leaders of the movements the led against the Armenians were mostly Muslim. I simply ask the readers, do your own research, you'll see who is correct. Clearly observer reads the kooks sites, and then cites them as if they are what;is taught by reputable historians. They are not. The proof, I challenge observer to put a source for his comment about the Jewish people and the Armenian Genocide. He will not, because I've seen the sites that espouse this nonsense. It would embarrass observer, and observer would lose whatever credibility he may think he has. I believe no credibility at all. As is typical the Arabs accuse the Jewish people of what they have done. Like the Nazi's believed, if your going tell a lie, the bigger the better. People naturally believe nobody would lie about anything that can be so easily dis-proven. That is the strength of the big lie.
