another corrupt leader is waiting in the wings. no shortage of candidates. new regime, same regime.

basic matter and the Hamas-Fatah rift is a mere symptom od the insidious occupation

4. Polls say Hamas wins next election, Israel missed its chance
Steve Benassi ,   Plymouth, MN USA   (11.02.18)
... by choice, peace to Israel means end of the theft of Palestine, and end of the Fake Majority "Jewish State", because Palestinians outnumber Jews now and in the future, with 6 Million Palestinians, and 5 Million outside refugees, and a high birth rate, with half the population under 20 years old.

Israel is aging.
5. Every choice is awful
GHook93 ,   Chicago   (11.02.18)
All terrorist, all illogical, all antisemites and all are as corrupt as Arafat!
6. Execute "Palestinian" terrorists & help rest leave
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.02.18)
Nothing could be less relevant than which "Palestinian" terrorist leads the P.A. The important thing is for Israel to adopt the supremely sane policy of promptly executing all "Palestinian" terrorists and help the rest of them leave our land. It is criminal to allow Holocaust denying mass murderer Abbas to live a long peaceful life, while his many Jewish victims suffered sadistic murder.
7. No John Adams or Thomas Jefferson in that bunch!
David ,   Hartford USA   (11.02.18)
Not even a Harry Truman. If this is the best and brightest the Arabs have to offer up to lead them, then they are totally screwed and doomed to continue the same results as Arafat and Abbas.

What does history say about Arafat? Terrorist, tried and true. Would lie to his mother if he thought it would gain him some advantage.

About Abbas? A white-collar terrorist who didn't want to get his hands dirty, but continued Arafat's platform. Had no mind of his own and couldn't improve the lot of the Arabs. In brief, his wasted career was detrimental to every Arab in the region, not to mention the dead and maimed Jews.

All these opportunist 'frontrunners' are just looking to see how quickly they can get their hands on the money for themselves, nothing else.

Granted, the Israeli elections had criminals running for office, but many of them were defeated. Maybe the Arabs can elect decent people, but history hasn't been kind to them - all they get are closet jihadists who don't give a tinker's dam about their people.

The Arabs under Arafat and Abbas has spent more time being mislead than the 40 years the Israelites wandered in the desert! THINK ABOUT THAT.

The Arab leadership only thinks about getting Israel out of the Dar al-Islam, the Land of Islam. This Quranic directive states that any land conquered by Muslims at any time in history can NEVER revert to what it once was or anything else. Israel beat the tar out of Muslims in a series or wars and made a country for itself. Israel's simple existence on 'Muslim' land is what makes them so insane.

Israel's existence goes against the very word of the Quran- and the Quran is the infallible book of the Muslims. That's why Abbas's PA-authorized map of 'Palestine' doesn't exist next to Israel, IT REPLACES ISRAEL.

The Arabs either need totally new leadership or need to vote to become full Israelis and move on with their lives.

I doubt either will happen. The leadership candidates are all of the same ilk and the indoctrinated Arabs simply have no brains at all, very similar the zombies on the Walking Dead.

Do the Arabs have a Jefferson or a Gandhi or a Truman walking among them? We pray that they do, for their sake.

Marwan Bargouti is no Nelson Mandela, he has said on the record that ARMED RESISTANCE IS LEGITIMATE.
How do you expect anything positive to come from a Brgouti presidency if he supports violence, Abbas might be acting like a fool and refusing to talk to anybody but he does at least know there is nothing to be gained through terror.

Bargoiti is popular on the streets but that doesn't mean he will be a president we can do business with, we need a moderate rather than a revolutionary like Bargouti.
9. One of the Arabian peoples
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn Holland   (11.02.18)
"the palestinian" people are a fake, fantasy people. They can be considered as one of the "islam" Arabian peoples, just as for example, the Saudi-Arabian and the Egyptian people, because they all speak the Arabian language. They had their chance in 1947/1948, with the UN Partition plan, but they rejected that, while the Jewish people were willing to accept that. In 1948 Israel was established and was attacked immediately by Arabian armies. They attacked Israel 6 times and wanted to destroy Isreal. Israel. defeated them any time. Let them join the other fellow Arabian peoples, if they do not want to live in Israel. Who will succeed Mahmoud Abbas is not important, in this case.
10. under any rules-of-law states, this bunch would be
(11.03.18)
precluded from running. less despicable politicians such as Lula (Brazil) and Berlusconi (Italy) have been precluded from office for much harmless offenses than any of these terrorists running to replace their Holocaust-denier godfather.

the solution: merge the Arabs in the westbank into Jordan with some territorial compromise. buy some Sinai land to make an Arab society in Gaza viable. But now the Arabs won't accept this solution because they are not willing to budge from the Saudi peace plan, a plan that is more than a decade old and has been proposed more than three decades too late? you do not return to 1967 in 2005; nor to 2005 in 2018. As long as the Arabs are fixated on the past, there is nobody to talk to.
11. why not Hagai El-Ad?
Alexander Scheiner ,   Israel   (11.03.18)
he is an enemy of the Jewish State Israel, he hates Zionists and the IDF, he is defaming and demonizing Israel and a tireless liar on behalf of his Falastinian friends (or authority?).

He is either a perfect Dhimmi or will he convert to Mohammedanism?

For Zion
