1. Abbas is impressive
(06.18.14)
Not only did Dr. Abbas write his PhD in Holocaust Denial at Patrice Lumumba University, he also majored in acting.
2. Now we are Human Beings
Moshico ,   Jerusalem   (06.18.14)
Now Abbas calls us human beings, tomorrow he will want to drive us in the see. He speaks with a forked tongue.
3. My bet - IDF still haven't checked the mosques.
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (06.18.14)
4. Problem of Complacency
Zechariah   (06.18.14)
There was and still is a complacency with Israel letting down its guard but to pour blame everywhere on the Jews is destructive .Its a terrible lesson Jews need learn from.
5. Whats in the PA National Interest
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (06.18.14)
Make no mistake In the last three years we have made substantial economic progress, we have gained in confidence and were close to defining our own national strategy for a Nation State inside the West Bank And why Because we have had a degree of internal stability brought about by Abbas and the PA, better and more productive cooperation with Israel and Jordan and ongoing negotiations for a Peace Deal Then comes HAMAS Within a blink of an eye they demand a FULL SHARE OF our tight financial resources, a FULL SHARE OF Power and by masterminding a Kidnapping have put the WEST BANK on hold and our entire future in jeopardy But that's not all Now Hamas emboldened by their 'success' in their perceived soft 'takeover' of the West Bank we now hear their latest grand ambition to create the Islamic State of Greater Palestine from the Jordan to the Sinai.. Not sure that Jordan, the PA, Israel and Egypt would think that was much of a good idea...
6. It is sad, but true......
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (06.18.14)
The Arabs seem to only understand force. As long as we maintain an upper hand and continue the pressure on them, can we be reasonably certain that we can live in relative peace and security. It does not have to be like that, but that it's the way it is. We are dealing with a (potentially) hostile mass of people who, given the opportunity, will inflict great harm upon us. What can we do but protect ourselves?
7.  Idiot.
Gabe ,   Canada   (06.18.14)
Abbas has made Zoabi look like an idiot with her comments about the kidnappers. She should resign.
8. Annex Area C
Ami ,   Tel Aviv   (06.18.14)
These boys would not have been kidnapped if Area C, from where they were kidnapped, had been annexed as it should have been.
9. Cute
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.18.14)
Does he think we are not aware that he ordered the kidnapping? Time to start bulldozing Jenin. Maybe that will be just the reality check he needs.
10. Abbas is as sincere as Goebbels
David ,   Hartford USA   (06.18.14)
The dirtbag has vilified and demonized Israel for years, saying nice things to the west while calling his people to jihad in any shape or form. Then he kisses and makes up with Hamas, whose only purpose is the destruction of Israel and who have repeatedly called for kidnapping soldiers or civilians. Abbas is simply full of shit. His word is worthless. I'm sure he announces in Arabic that the kidnappers are heroes. The man should be arrested as the leader of the terrorists. Bibi cannot take months or years to resolve this. This would be a great time to draw a real line in the sand and say, "No prisoner trades. Release the boys or Judea and Samaria will be annexed."
11. #2 what do the rabbis teach about nonjews
nonhuman   (06.18.14)
12. Abbas to kidnappers: Bring back the boys
mark ,   uk   (06.18.14)
did he also say it in Arabic and why he took some days to say it
13. Yes, bring back our boys
paulD ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.18.14)
Abbas thinks Israelis are like them. Were that the case we would be beheading people, screaming for genocide, torturing our wives, and teaching our children to die for our self-centered goals. No, Mr. Abbas, Jews are not like you, not now, not ever.
14. The master of lies and deceit speaks
A ,   Belgium   (06.18.14)
If the terrorist Abbas claims the three boys are "human beings like us" (don't flatter yourself, Mahmoudi, you "palestinians" are nowhere near being human), let's see him stop the 3 finger abomination that is spreading all over HIS PA, let's see him apologize to FIFA for allowing the disgusting "palestinian" desecration of it's symbol, let's see him rethink who he chooses for partners in his "unity government". Until that happens, we can only assume that after speaking to his American pimps, he was promised tons of money to make his pathetic statemnt.
15. To: No. 5
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.18.14)
The "palestine" authority HAS no economy. It has a ridiculously overstaffed bureaucracy due, apparently, to protectionism -- one high-ranking official creates jobs for his entire extended family, and this repeats itself over and over. There are one hundred thousand "palestinians" whose livelihood is entirely dependent upon their employment in Israel. The "palestinian" authority has done nothing to attract foreign investment, has not created jobs, and has not maintained the infrastructure which Israel so painstakingly put into place. The "palestine" authority is indebted to the State of Israel to the tune of several billion shekels in cash loans, and has not paid its utility bills in years. That's just the beginning of the tale of woe. There's been no "substantial economic progress;" what there has been is an extraordinary decline in everything since the creation of the "palestine" authority over twenty years ago. There is nothing to show for the billions of dollars and billions of euro that have poured into the coffers of the "palestine" authority except for multiple luxurious homes in Europe for a select few of the "leadership," very lavish offshore bank accounts. Sammy, dear, Abbas applied the death knell to any hope of a "palestinian" state in the West Bank with the "unity agreement" with Hamas. There is no moving away from that. Seventy percent of the West Bank Arab population -- the ones who are excluded from cushy civil service jobs -- are Hamas supporters. So, unfortunately for you, the "unity agreement" is here to stay. We will not tolerate a Hamas presence to our east and to our west. So Israel has no recourse but to annex Judea and Samaria and upon that annexation, all West Bank Arabs will be deported to Gaza. That's where you will have to build your state, because we will never accept a split state. Finally -- we're really not all that concerned about what Jordan, Egypt or the "palestine" authority think is good for them. We are interested in what is good for the State of Israel. If the Arabs take exception, they are free to attempt yet another war. With the same outcome as the previous six ... except only worse for you. Give it up; it's over. You lost. You should be grateful that you have an opportunity to build your own state, period. If you really wanted to be a country, you would be thankful for any scrap of land - because you don't deserve anything, having rejected partition in 1947, and you are indigenous to the Hejaz in the Western Arabian desert, and you KNOW the Saudis have no intention of sharing anything with you. That's geopolitical reality. That's also the consequences which accrue to those who wage wars of aggression ... and lose.
