Dear Ali,
Lets be truthful. Your leaders steal the money that the world is pouring into Gaza and West bank. The use it to by weapons and fatten their bank account istead of creating jobs with it all the while preaching hate to your people.Israel would be the best friend that you had if you people would meet them half-way. Barak was willing to give your leaders 95% of what you demanded but no Arafat thumbed his nose at the offer. You would have jobs and prosperity if you became friends with the Jewish nation. But your people would rather be pawns in a philosophy of war,greed, and destruction. You are not the victim of the Jews but of your leaders and your religion.

The majority of Arab nations, though not all, have no right to judge Israeli democracy until they get rid of their own tyrannical leaders - that includes Hamas and Jihad-run Palestine. So before you criticize Sharon, look at your Arab leaders to find real answers as to why peace with Israel doesn`t exist yet.

History will judge Israel`s democracy as an achievement of people with a background of respect to human life and to human ideas.
The legacy of Sharon was part of the traditional historic values of the Jewish People and the State of Israel.
Quoting Benjamin Franklin "There was never a good war or a bad peace", still the United States had to fight to achieve independence from the British Empire.
Israel had to fight Islamic Fundamentalism, crazy terrorism and disgusting propaganda by insane antisemites.
I guess Ehud Olmert or any Israeli leader will be judge by his responsibility to the safe continuity of the State of Israel and the Jewish people while preserving the values of democracy, tolerance and respect.
It would surprise me if history could attribute those values to the "Arab Nation or to the Islamic Legacy"

"aparthied ISRAEL" is nothing compared to the hub of the muslim world Saudi Arabia where non muslims are not even allowed to be buried and Indus and non muslims are treated like animals. Allthough Arabs are second and third class citizens in Israel, they still enjoy rights that non muslims in Saudi Arabia can only dream about. Why can`t non muslims visit Mecca? Can you imagine a scenario where the vatcan doesn`t alllow non christians to visit the vatican.
I will be the first to admit that Judaism has a tint of racism which is not so different from the national pride of any nation. But Islam, the way it is practised by muslim countries today is barbaric, contradictory and full of hate.

There is a free palistine which has re-taken its rightful name of Israel

Ariel Sharon


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ariel (“Arik”) Sharon was born at Kfar Malal on February 27, 1928. He served in the IDF for more than 25 years, retiring with the rank of Major-General. He holds an LL.B in Law from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (1962).

He joined the Haganah at the age of 14 in 1942. During the 1948 War of Independence, he commanded an infantry company in the Alexandroni Brigade. In 1953, he founded and led the “101” special commando unit which carried out retaliatory operations against Palestinian fedayeen. Sharon was appointed commander of a Paratroop Corps in 1956 and fought in the Sinai Campaign. In 1957, he attended the Camberley Staff College in Great Britain.

During 1958-62, Sharon served as Infantry Brigade Commander and then Infantry School Commander, and attended Law School at Tel Aviv University. He was appointed Head of the Northern Command Staff in 1964 and Head of the Army Training Department in 1966. He participated in the 1967 Six Day War as commander of an armored division. In 1969 he was appointed Head of the Southern Command Staff.

Sharon resigned from the army in June 1972, but was recalled to active military service in the 1973 Yom Kippur War to command an armored division. He led the crossing of the Suez Canal which helped secure an Israeli victory in the war and eventual peace with Egypt.

Ariel Sharon was elected to the Knesset in December 1973, but resigned a year later, serving as Security Adviser to Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin (1975). He was elected to the Knesset in 1977 on the Shlomzion ticket. Following the elections, he joined the Herut party and was appointed Minister of Agriculture in Menachem Begin's first government (1977-81). One of his priorities was to pursue agricultural cooperation with Egypt.

In 1981, Ariel Sharon was appointed Defense Minister, serving in this post during the Lebanon War, which brought about the destruction of the PLO terrorist infrastructure in Lebanon. In the realm of international relations, he was instrumental in renewing diplomatic relations with the African nations which had broken off ties with Israel during the Yom Kippur War. In November 1981, he brought about the first strategic cooperation agreement with the U.S. and widened defense ties between Israel and many nations. He also helped bring thousands of Jews from Ethiopia through Sudan.

In 1983, Sharon resigned as Defense Minister after a government commission found him indirectly responsible for the September 1982 massacre of Palestinians at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps by Lebanese Phalangists.

Sharon remained in the government as a minister without portfolio and then served as Minister of Industry and Trade from 1984-90. In this capacity, he concluded the Free Trade Agreement with the U.S. in 1985.

From 1990-1992, he served as Minister of Construction and Housing and Chairman of the Ministerial Committee on Immigration and Absorption. Following the fall of the Soviet Union and the waves of immigration from Russia, he initiated and carried out a program to absorb the immigrants throughout the country, including the construction of 144,000 apartments.

From 1992-1996, he served as a member of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.

In 1996, Ariel Sharon was appointed Minister of National Infrastructure and was involved in fostering joint ventures with Jordan, Egypt and the Palestinians. He also served as Chairman of the Ministerial Committee for Bedouin advancement.

In 1998, Ariel Sharon was appointed Foreign Minister and headed the permanent status negotiations with the Palestinian Authority.

While serving as Foreign Minister, Sharon met with U.S., European, Palestinian and Arab leaders to advance the peace process. He worked mostly to create and advance projects such as the Flagship Water Project funded by the international community to find a long-term solution to the region's water crisis and a basis to peaceful relations between Israel, Jordan, the Palestinians and other Middle Eastern countries.

Following the election of Ehud Barak as Prime Minister in May 1999, Ariel Sharon was called upon to become interim Likud party leader following the resignation of Benjamin Netanyahu. In September 1999, he was elected Chairman of the Likud. He also served as a member of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee in the Knesset.

On September 28, 2000, Sharon made a visit to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the holiest place in Judaism to emphasize Israel's claim to sovereignty over the Temple Mount. Palestinians maintained that Sharon came with “thousands of Israeli soldiers” and defiled a Muslim holy place, when in fact, Israel's Internal Security Minister Shlomo Ben-Ami permitted Sharon to visit the Temple Mount only after calling Palestinian security chief Jabril Rajoub and receiving his assurance that if Sharon did not enter the mosques, no problems would arise. Sharon did not attempt to enter any mosques and his 34 minute visit was conducted during normal hours when the area is open to tourists. Palestinian youths — eventually numbering around 1,500 — shouted slogans in an attempt to inflame the situation. Some 1,500 Israeli police were present at the scene to forestall violence.

Following Sharon's Temple Mount visit, the Palestinians, under the direction of Yasser Arafat, launched an unprecendented wave of violence and terror against Israelis, dubbed the “al-Aksa Intifada” by the Palestinians for its association with the al-Aksa Mosque located on the Temple Mount. Palestinian leaders claim that Sharon's visit sparked the violence, but on November 7, 2000, an investigatory committee led by former U.S. Senator George Mitchell was established to determine the causes of the violence and to make recommendations for calming the situation. The Mitchell Report issued in April 30, 2001, concluded “the Sharon visit did not cuase the “al-Aksa intifada.”

In a special election held February 6, 2001, Ariel Sharon was elected Prime Minister. He presented his government to the Knesset on March 7, 2001. After calling early elections to the 16th Knesset, which were held on January 28, 2003, Ariel Sharon was charged by the president with the task of forming a government and presented his new government to the Knesset on February 27, 2003.

After several years of bloodshed, terror, and stalled peace talks with the Palestinians, Sharon devised a bold plan that would ensure a higher degree of security for Israelis, and improve the lives of Palestinians. While Palestinian terrorism against Israelis was at its peak, and going virtually unchecked by Arafat and other Palestinian leaders, Sharon decided that Israel should act unilaterally to improve its security situation and reduce bloodshed. This plan, known as the disengagement plan, called for the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops and settlers in the Gaza Strip, as well as the dismantlement of all settlements in the area, including four settlements in northen Samaria. Between August 16 and August 30, 2005, Israel safely evacuated more than 8,500 Israeli settlers and, on September 11, 2005, Israeli soldiers left Gaza, ending Israel's 38-year presence in the area.

The implementation of the disengagement plan was viewed as a success by most of the Israeli public, although it sparked bitter protests from ministers of Sharon's Likud Party, causing a party schism. Facing bitter infighting in Likud, Sharon formally resigned from the party to form a new centrist party, “Kadima,” or “Forward” on November 21, 2005.

Following the Likud Party spilt, Sharon outlined the goals of his new party. One, he said, is to closely follow the United States-backed road map plan for peace with the Palestinians. Sharon declared that there will be no more unilateral withdrawals from the West Bank, and insisted that Palestinian terrorist groups be disarmed and dismantled. The Kadima party platform calls for “maximum security and assuring that Israel be a Jewish national home and that another state that shall arise be demilitarized, with terrorists disarmed.”

In mid-December, 2005, Sharon spent two days in a hospital after suffering a minor stroke, which doctors said caused no irreparable brain damage. However, on January 4, 2006, Sharon was rushed to the hospital following another, more serious stroke. Sharon suffered a massive brain hemorrhage, which caused extensive cerebral bleeding.

President George W. Bush said that Sharon was “a man of courage and peace,” and that “on behalf of all Americans, we send our best wishes and hopes to the prime minister and his family.”

Prime Minsterial duties have been turned over to Ehud Olmert, who held a cabinet meeting on January 5, 2006, to signal the transfer of power. Olmert will act as Prime Minister until elections, which are scheduled to take place on March 28, 2006.

Ariel Sharon has been present at or involved in nearly every seminal moment in modern Israel's history. From pre-state Israel and Israel's wars of survival, to politics and the disengagement plan, Sharon has played a highly significant role in shaping Israel's future. Although once considered a hardline politician who was the “father of the settlement movement,” and a brilliant leader in the wartime, Sharon devoted his last years in politics to pursuing peace with security for Israel and its neighbors.

Sharon is widowed and has two sons, Omri and Gilad.

The big difference, and it will not have eluded those that actually pay attention to developments, is that Hamas is running in the `06 elections. A Hamas inclusion in the decision making bodies of the PA will mean that they`ll infiltrate those systems. This will frustrate, to say the least, cooperations with Israel. It will facilitate, to say the least, the strategic capabilities of terrorists.

It`s a catch 22 - the Palestinians need to reform, the Authority needs to obtain authority. But I can`t see how foaming fanatics in decision making bodies can make things better for the Palestinians. If the Palestinians want to act responsibly, they vote for peace. Peace through peaceful means. Because as they say in Sweden "fighting for peace, is like fucking for virginity". Right Johannes?

find nothing funny about the ABUSE of the non muslims and non arabs by arabs/muslims for the last 100 years.
The arab world is one big failure and considered a big problem by the whole world.

Tell me one good thing happening in the arab world today ? try dismantling your system of gender apartheid before lecturing others

Johanes instead of pontificating on Israel and the region as you do, can you please tell us what you are doing about the violence against Jews in Sweden and about their human rights? Are you posting pro-Jewish comments and pleas for respecting the rights of Jews on Swedish muslim websites too? You should be doing that first as a Swede before you worry about the Palestinians, don`t you think?

North Korea, although a problem situation, has not directly threatened any other nation. They are also in no military or economic condition to attack anyone else. They would be obliterated if Japan or South Korea were to be attacked. Iran is quite a different story.

Why do you have to bring the Palestinians into this article?! It is terrible in its own right. How dare you use what happened in Russia to complain about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

The current regime in Iran is truly frighening. It is not just Mr. Ahmadi-Najad. He does the bidding of his mentors, the "Mad Ayatollah: Mesbah-Yazdi, and a lovely gentleman named Mr. Samareh who is the day to day power behind the "throne". Mesbah-Yazdi was too extreme for Khomeini! His brand of religion was widely considered the lunatic fringe of Shi`a Islam. Khomeini forced him underground. Now he, and the religious society which he represents, have purged Iran of most of the old Ayatollahs and installed their own people. Samareh is a committee of one who must accept every appointment which is made by any Iranian Minister. These guys have Rastfanjani and even the supreme Ayatollah Khameini running for cover. They want to create a global cataclymsm in order to hasten the arrival of the 12th Imam (the Shi`a Messiah). Seriously. They really do.

The real reason we should all be ok with Israel supposedly having nuclear weapons is because it is a democracy - it has nothing to do with the Holocaust, nothing to do with Arab wars, etc - that`s why Israel pursued them (as a deterrent). Democracies are ruled by an electorate and have due process.

Iran on the other hand is a democracy at surface level only, with real decision power resting in the Revolutionary Council. Iranian leaders are bound by theology and rhetoric alone - and that`s the real danger.

That`s why anyone with a logical outlook on life should be concerned about any non-demoncratic state obtaining nuclear weapons - its all about the decision making process and the ability to be pragmatic - something that totalitarian, autocratic, and theocratic regimes have failed to demonstrate.

As usual `Haaretz` addresses a major social problem relating to Israel`s Arab minority in a one- sided and misleading way.
The truth is Palestinian Arabs living in Israel are responsible for more than half of its violent crime though they are less than one- fifth of the population. This violent crime is underreported by the media, and the Jewish victims of such crime are rarely given much attention or sympathy. The focus is always on `unfair social conditions` in which the Arabs live.
But consider. The Arab population in Israel has a better standard of life in almost all key areas than do Arab populations in Arab countries. Consider too that Jews, when they were a poor minority in most places, did not engage in anything like the degree and scope of criminality which is present in the action of the Arab sector thoughout Israel.

It might not be nice or politically correct to say but Arabs, yes even Israeli Arabs pose no less of a threat to the existence of a Jewish State of Israel than do their so called "Palestinian cousins".

Look at the positions of the Arab MKs, men who not only openly justify and encourage terror attacks against Jews but make regular contact with enemy nations such as Syria. Look at cities like Um El Faham and Sakhnin where Israeli police simply do not tread under normal circumstances.

Police (and anyone else) know that when they set foot in an Arab neighborhood, it is every man for himself. The police certainly ARE trigger happy when it comes to Arabs because they know that the chances of them getting out of there alive and unharmed without using force is slim to none.

It is time to drop the liberal pretenses and accurately portray the situation. Israeli Arabs seek the destruction of the State of Israel and they are actively working towards that goal.

israel didn`t steal anything. They captured territories in wars, provoked or initiated by arabs and defended them against arab attacks. That`s one reality you should take notice at. Seckond is that peace process is based on resolution 242, which doesn`t demand Israel to give up everything. So, your demands are not on that concrete basis.

So far I have seen no desire for peace from palestinians. I have seen none from you either. Only thing you want is to have some kind of victory over jews and humiliate them. You won`t succeed in that, because israelis know that this conflict will not be over in decades. They are prepared for it too. So, because you seem to like everlasting conflicts, here you have one. Just don`t cry about it... it`s boring.

it is time to consider transfering out the arabs. Pay them compensation. Just use the gush katif model if the arabs refuse. The liberal left should have no problem in applying forced transfer equally to arabs as they did to jews.

Please stop the excuses of the `die-hard Zionists`. The bulk of the Arab world and Moslem world is not keen on ending the conflict with Israel, and ending terrorism. And the bulk of the West is indifferent about Palestinian terrorism (as long as it does not involve kidnapping or killing Western diplomats). Even the most moderate of Pals, like Abu Mazen, DO have a problem with the Israel of 1948. For Abu Mazen, the right of ALL the refugees of 1948 to return to Israel is even more sacred than the issue of Jerusalem.

Since when does a non-citizen of a western nation, mufti or otherwise, dictate to the papers of that nation what they may or may not publish?
The answer to these intolerant mideastern bigots is to encourage as many papers in the west as are brave enough, to extend this cartoon competition.
The day mideasterners accord a fraction of the respect they demand for themselves to other ethnic groups, is the day they may gain acceptance in grown-up discourse. Until then, they are cordially invited to wallow in their exaggerated/imagined sense of grievance.

ELBirawi, the problem with your comment is that is makes no distiction between armed resistance and terror. First of all, armed resistance and negotiations don`t go hand in hand. It`s one or the other. You can`t expect Israelis to talk while fighting. Second, armed resistance should never include innocent civilians - which is the point of Carter`s comments. You want the occupation to end? End terror - immediately. Accepting them into Parliament in the current state of Hamas is basically telling the world that the palestinians choose terror over diplomacy.

what a joke, people in the Muslim world keep calling names on anybody for not sharing their so called "faith", publish discusting cartoons about Jews and Christians, and are on a permanent holy war against anybody practizing his faith, dissent in those countries like Saudi Arabia is rewarded by torture and death, and now want to interfere on the right of freedom of the press on other countries, the world press keeps calling names on Israels freedom, and keeps calling it a racista state, the real bigots are the Arabs and muslims as shown in their attitude to anybody daring to dissent, remember Samnan Rushdie.

occpiers would be one group pushing aside another.If my memory and history is correct the Plastinian land was divided between Arabs and Jews which the Jews accepted and the Arabs rejected....

The land of Gaza and the West Bank was occupied by Egypt and Jordan...Israel reconuered the territiries it had been promised and after much discussion the PLO which recognized Israel and promised peaceful diaglogue with Israel were invited in as a govening authority...they were supplied with guns and uniforms and trainng with the help of the West.....

The Oslo accords stipulated against armed resistance and a final staus was to be agreed to by direct negotiaons between Israel and the PA....The PA is not a country nor has eve been recognized as one but rather an entity to negotiate with Israel to form a country taht may call whateve they wish...they can name their country Disneyland if they wish.

Israel liberated the occupied lands of Palestine Jewish and Arab(from Jordan and Egypt).

The "Pals" have no right to murder Israelis, soldiers or civilians. The Israelis are living in their country. If the "Pals" wanted a state the would have have it for a long time. But this is not what they want. They don`t want a state but the destruction of Israel. They have said so many times, they have it in their charters and they have murdered many Israelis just for the sake of it.

It is not the "occupation".
It is terrorism.
Stop terrorism now.

The Arabs were murdering Jews long time before the foundation of Israel.It has been the Arab Muslims who founded Hamas and all those terrorist organizations. They have formed them because they want to kill the Jews at any rate and haven`t tried it by using other methods. The blame is on those brainwashed jihadists.

"Ending the Occupation" is not a precise term. What it precisely means: Exact borders, Jerusalem, refugees are all to be negotiated in Phase 3 of the Road Map, whereas "PA Dismantling Terror" is in Phase 1, as are Israeli dismantling of outposts, freezing settlement expansion and pullback to 2000 positions. For Hamas "Ending the Occupation" means a single Muslim theocracy. Using that logic, they wouldn`t disarm until there was no Israel. This policy coupled with terror attacks keeps the IDF and the checkpoints in the West Bank and stalls a Pal. State. Do you really believe that if the Palestinians were to follow the Road Map, Israel would not end the Occupation

Israel messed up the Palestinian economy? Sure, the Jews are to be blamed for everything!

The fact is that the Palestinian economy is screwed up because their own leaders stole from the people. They spent millions to fund terror groups rather than provide jobs for their own people.

If Palestinians want to see their worst enemy, all they have to do is look in a mirror.

If Oslo got the Palestinians nothing, they only have themselves to blame. Remember that former PM Barak offered Arafat more than Arafat had any right to expect. Had Arafat said yes, rather than blow up a couple of Israeli school girls, you would have your state today.
. . .assuming that it is not dead already. Hamas will not change. During the entire election process, they continued to act like the terrorists they are. Whatever happens next is on the head of the Arabs. They must take responsibility for a change.

You can fill as many Internet discussions with your comments about Israel being a terrorist state but people are much smarter than you think.

Just so you can hear it again, there is a world of a difference between the IDF carrying out targeted arrests or elimination operations against wanted militants, and Hamas killers who search out targets with the greatest number of civilians in order to intentionally kill them.

Civilian casualties in IDF operations are unintentional, kept to a strict minimum in the planning stages of an operation (often cancelled if they can`t be) and investigated every time they nevertheless occur. In most cases only the intended target is hit.

Mass civilian casualties, on the other hand, is the stated goal of suicide bombers. How utterly cowardly to walk into a restaurant or city bus to blow yourself up.

Nobody denied Israel`s actions. What they did post was rebuttals to your "Hamas is innocent, they respected the truce argument". Stick to the topic at hand rather than trying to smoke screen your argument with other facts. Hamas is no angel!

But if want to talk about Israel, than please explain to me how suicide bombings of civilians equates to targeted killings of terrorists. There isn`t any, no matter how you slice it. If Israel targeted the individual, it meant they were on the way to attacks or in the final planning stages. Besides, Israel targeted mostly IJ, who didn`t honor the truce anyway - so why should that affect Hamas?



As usual it is Israel fault.

Every survey shows that voting was linked to corruption, incompetence and to a smaller extent negotiation with Israel.

It is Israel fault that Fatah was corrupt - How I am not sure but why not blame Israel, Clan mentality and gangs - again blame Israel, etc. etc. As usual it is always Israel fault and never Fatah, Hamas, etc. Is it it nice to have someone to blame for ones own deficiencies.....


I agree with you in the sense that Fatah has been a total nightmare to both sides of the Green line, through corruption, lies, and coercion.

However, to say that Hamas honored its agreements is bogus. You don`t have to be an intelligence expert to know that during this "truce", Hamas made every effort to increase its arsenal by importing weapons and people in the Gaza Strip. Furthermore, Hamas has been involved in many attempted attacks, and successful attacks, against Israelis and had other organizations take the blame for them. IJ and PFC were two who lent their name to Hamas.

Don`t try to clean them up. Hamas is extremely fanatical and will be ensuring that every Pal succumbs to the rigors of extreme Islam. Just remember Kalkilya.


Sam, wake up and smell the coffee. Arabs have more than enough land to make all the necessary arraignments for many more people, than just people in Palestine. So before you say take a look, go and take a look at all the land that is out there through out the Arab states. The reason for confrontation and terrorism is not land - land is just an excuse.

Hey El-Birawi? It`s a lie to say that Hamas was honoring a truce. The only reason there were no Hamas murders against Israeli civilians is the brave and effective IDF that protects Israelis. Targeted killings of Hamas commanders and murderers is merely one of the methods that Israel uses to defend herself.

Don`t fool yourself and certainly, don`t try to fool us.

"At least the palestinian people have sponken with their votes. It is clear now that they support suicide bombers completely, every man woman and child. They believe that God supports the murder of innocents. We in the US have been confused until now that most of the palestinians supported peace. Now we know. Not one of my representatives will support the palestinians, not one tax dollar will go to them. Hamas will lead their people first to poverty, then total destruction. This will make the destruction of palistine a easy decision for Americans"

...and no collateral damage.


Bobby, you need a reality check. Do you honestly think the Palestinians would be satisfied with territory based on pre-`67 lines and just be worried about Israel? They wanted to push the Jews "into" the sea before that. It`s not fear and poverty that drive the Palestinians, it`s HATE. They are taught from the time that they can talk to hate Israel. There will only be temporary compromises. Do not be fooled! The destruction of Israel is what drives them, not the desire for a Palestinian state.


ok, so israel goes to 67 borders and gives land for a link between gaza and west bank and in return hamas promises it will postpone their destruction of israel for a few years. yeah right. someone might remind those lunatics that gaza and west bank were never connected. why should israel give the so called palestinians a land bridge while cutting israel in half. the absurdity of it all is mind boggling.



Mohammed is their paradigm in how to deal with the "infidels". When he was weak, he made a treaty with the Qoraish for 10 years. When he became powerful, he broke it and destroyed them. This is exactly what Hamas wants to replicate now.

We must expel them before more blood is shed.\


How come that hamas is very benevolent to "give Israel a chance for a hudna for 10 or 15 years. it is rubish. There is not any diference between fatah (abbas) and Hamas they are the same, just with another name. They are not in a position to "demand" a deal. It`s sound as if Iran demands from the US to get out of Irak, to allow Osama to become an American citizen, or they will atack the US, does it sound normal?.



Balance? What about the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of Jews that have been displaced from Muslim countries in the last 100 years - Jordan, Saudi Arabia, ETC? You`ve probably never heard about them have you, Rob? The difference was that they assimilated into the single Jewish nation in the Middle-East. You don`t hear those Jews complaining about a "right to return." Where`s their compensation? How is land occupied in a DEFENSIVE war to improve the nation`s defense in the face of neighbors dedicated to the slaughter of said nation`s people unjust? As a leader of a nation would you stand by and keep your people vulnerable to such dangerous enemies?

Let me understand this, Israel is at war with Hamas and vis-a versa. Israel has agreed that Palestine should have a state on most of the West Bank and all of Gaza. Hamas says that it wants to wipe out Israel but is willing to have a long term truce if Israel gives back every inch of the West Bank and Jerusalem.So your premise is that Israel should improve Hamas` strategic situation by withdrawing so Hamas can prepare for further war and eventually wipe out Israel. Who in their right mind would agree to that? Do you really think that Israelis are that stupid?


Poisonous vipers? Can we please refrain from demonizing people coming from a completely different historical and cultural perspective? People are people, and until we ALL start treating each other as brothers rather than others, nothing will change.









I don`t demonize Palestinians. I say positive things about the people that I respect. But I will not see terrorist gangsters through rose-colored glasses, or avoid calling them what they are.Hamas has deliberately targeted and murdered Israeli civilians, quite often for internal political purposes. It has NEVER treated Israelis and Jews as human beings. EVER. Hamas also deliberately involves and endangers Palestinian kids. They get killed in the process. This is deeply wrong, selfish and evil.And Hamas & Islamic Jihad have done everything possible to destroy the peace process, killing 1000s.Open your eyes, Pedro. Hamas is a poison. There ARE evil people in the world. Yes they are people. But their goal is a mass attrocity. You can ask that we not call them names. But they will not only demonize us -- they will murder us with zero compunction. Do Pals have some claims? Yes. Does it give them the right to become terrorists? NO. Solve problems peacefully. Thanks.





Am I dreaming?! There is a debate in Israel on whether to transfer MONEY to a "government" ran by arab TERRORISTS! If Israel will eventually vanish, a large portion of such tragedy should be put on Jews themselves. People, wake up - these money (and any money that the EU and US will, unfortunately, transfer to so-called "palestininas") will be used for 1) weapons upgrades - so that their rockets would become more accurate and powerful 2) propaganda - hamas tv, colorful posters praising suicide bombers - all that crap 3) investments in "palestinian" schools - textbooks that teach kids to kill Jews, etc.
WAKE UP - you want to give money to monsters that would kill your 3-year old child in a second!!!!

A couple years ago a book was published about all the anti-Jewish, anti-Israeli political cartoons printed by the Arab press. Page after page of nauseating bile spewed by the "Education" ministries of the Arab world. Never heard a `peep` out of anyone. But let a couple cartoons of Muhammed hit the press, the Arabs rear up like they found out the 70 virgins had all been streetwalkers. But what should we expect from a religion that offers the death penalty to people who want to convert out? That offers the death penalty to people who `insult` the religion? That offers the death penalty for perceived slights to family `honor?` Where at civic and family functions, the most popular pasttime is to shoot automatic weapons into the sky and endanger everyone? Thanks to Arafat, generations of Palestinians have been educated in an atmosphere of hate and perversion, where parents gleefully say that they wish they had more sons and daughters to send to blow themselves up to kill Israelis.

This might sound radical but enough is enough. Close completely the border with the West Bank and Gaza. Let the Palestinians suffer the consequences. The world finally is now more aware of what savages these animals are.
