PA names Ramallah street after Hamas terror mastermind

So who planted the bombs at the IPL cricket stadium in Bangalore over the weekend with the stadium packed to capacity,one guess ,Muslim cowards who target civilians whereever and whenever,how brave these warriors of Allah are?

Every single day that passess brings more death and destruction from Sunni/Shia clashes in Muslim lands,you have a problem Alberto or maybe just selective memory?

So what exactly is your point Mark of Lewiston ,please elaborate?

Are you really suggesting that Yitzhak Rabin was a terrorist?

Not that I agree with killing of any human being , but you have to avoid double standard. Unfortunately, most of the murders and atrocities committed by the Hagana and Irgun during the 1930,s and 1940,s against the palestinian civilians were and still are justifiable in the minds and eyes of many zionists, the 500 palestinian villages which were destroyed and burnt and in many cases over the heads of their dwellers is something that many zionists are proud of. Get real amigo, what is right for you may be right for the others and visa versa.

"name places after murderers of innocent people, Israel should get with it. Fortunately, there`s no competition. After Goldstein, the list is pretty much exhausted" The list is pretty much exhausted - provided your memory stops in 1947. BTW, are there Israeli streets named after Menachem Begin?

Why not? If the latest trend is to name places after murderers of innocent people, Israel should get with it. Fortunately, there's no competition. After Goldstein, the list is pretty much exhausted. When it comes to murderers of innocents, the Palestinians take a back seat to no one.

Nice peace confidence gesture.. where are the hypocrites in washington to even comment on this??How much more is needed to make people realize that the pa hamas etc do NOT want peace

A two state solution requires mutual respect. It requires each to consider the humanity of the other. Naming a street after a mass murder is, shall we say, inconsistent with that. It is incredible that the simplest precepts of basic decency escape you. It is incredible how you fail to see how your sort of hatred impedes a two state solution. At least as more deaths accumulate, you will not need to ponder your contribution to it since you will be oblivious to it.

False outrage - just another excuse to stall. Netanyahu will be milking this till the cows come home!

At least they had the good sense to wait till Biden wasn't around...

the newspaper editor said yesterday that the war of the arabs against israel is a religious war. that statement needs deep and sustained consideration.if the man is right then we are wasting our time talking to the other side. we have not absorbed the true nature of the threat facing israel.

many unfriendly non jews have been coming to the site for years.and they attend this class every day with reams of adverserial comment and not a little abuse. well and good.that in some cases enriches the site.however i do wonder what motivates this enthusiasm on the part of the regulars. do they for instance chase ambulances in iraq afghanistan kashmir and chechenya? do these keen individuals post in iranian papers?or saudi papers?

they make terrorists their heroes.let us not fool ourselves.there is no peace on offer.they celebrate the mass killings and maiming of men women and children.

It seems that the PA is so weak of it`s gripp of the west bank that promotes these children killers and names streets over them, it`s a shame that they have lowered there standards to such a level.Hamas is just as athreat to the PLO as it is to Israel the western world and anyone who is anti jihad.

Your lack of knowledge of this region's history is quite shocking! FYI, the same people that were part of the Jewish underground terrorist groups that attacked British and Palestinian interest became prime ministers and leaders in Israel. Your double standard is only equal to your ignorance.

You're missing the bigger picture 'Terrorism' is on one level a reminder to power that power doesn't have a monopoly on violence. Golda Meir, Ben Gurion and Begin etc didn't need suicide bombers because they had an army. This street naming is actually a gift for Netanyahu and he'll milk it for all its worth as another stalling tactic

Is it really all subjective?

Aspirations of terrorist.

experienced Gaza. Why should we take additional risks and place our children in harm's way, freeing mass murderers to slaughters our elderly and smash the heads of our infants? Never Again!

The terrorist bombing of the King David Hotel was not the only act of terrorism carried out by the Stern Gang, in fact it was carried out by Irgun under the leadership of Menachem Begin under order of David Ben Gurion. Yes I know that Ben Gurion claimed he retracted his order after the fact, but the bombing that killed many innocent civilians occurred none the less. Israeli is not above shame itself, regardless of what you believe, because history will forever record its sins and it will be how Israel deals with its own sins that will become its legacy.

If Israel were -G'd forbid- to name a street after Baruch Goldstein- the whole world would roar -and rightly so-. If the Palestinian Authority names a street after the mastermind of suicide bombers' belts, directly responsible for hundreds of innocent Israeli civilians murdered amd thousands maimed and mutilated, nothing happens. Not even Obama will say a word.

Actually the term "Father of Terrorism" was coined by the British who labeled Menachim Begin as the Father of Terrorism in the 40's.

I have two points to make: 1. As a Palestinian living in the West Bank city of Ramallah, I find it totally strange and unacceptable to name a street by a Hamas military activist. We have a long list of poets, novelists, bankers, politicians, peace activists, artists, musicians, philosophers, architects ? ext, whom we are proud of, and whom have contributed to the Palestinian quest for freedom and statehood. 2. On the other hand, we can not accept the Israeli double-standards over common issues, how many streets in Israel are named before Israeli military and militia activist, whom killed and tortured Palestinians since 1948 up until now.

One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter

The right of Palestinians to name their own streets? This manufactured outrage by the Zionist regime is beyond laughable. It's not like the PA invaded 500 Jewish villages and cities, kicked out all the natives through acts of terror and started renaming the streets and towns from Jewish to Arabic. The Chinese proverb he who slings mud loses ground is one Zionists should heed. If this is any indication of the kind of two state solution Netanyahoo envisions, one where he thinks Ramallah residents should give a rats behind on what Tel-Aviv thinks of them naming a street - clearly highlights how backward Netanyahoo thinking is. A Independent state means - in the least - the right to name streets or buildings as the local authority wishes without getting approval from any foreign entity - especially one with a Russian foreign minister.

repeat the military HQ of the British Army. Unlike your lot the Irgunn warned the army staff to evacuate. British imperialist arrogance made them decide not to do so. Why is it 60 + years after the British flag was lowered you still think you can tell Israelis what to do.? Good old imperialist arrogance?

ending incitement is pa's obligation, so don't whine over israel not meeting something

Judged a terrorist in 1776+ by the Brits and still judged so. The US has counties in 40+ states named after him and Disney named and made a TV series about him, The Swamp Fox. Is there anything in Israel named after Menachem Begin?

... Pals do not have very many heroes or productive examples to honor. So they are left with the unpleasant choice of honoring nothing, or honoring a dung pile.

Haaretz dreamers can't come to terms with reality. They think that they are living in Switzerland with peace-loving neighbors and it is all our fault that eternal peace has not descended upon us. Fortunately, their numbers are rapidly dwindling. The next election will be an even a bigger shock as Kadima follows Labor and Meretz into irrelevance.

Netanyahu is just trying to make the situation worse for killing peace. Who cares about a damn street name?

Leaders of countries guilty of state terrorism do not put together bombs personally but they produce greater bloodshed than poor freedom fighters. The latter cannot afford F-16. PS, don't you know, for example, about the Stern Gang blowing up the King David Hotel? do you know who were the members? They all, one by one, became leading Members of the Knesset and PMs of the terrorist state of Israel.

Your Hero and "Your King" Sharon was responsible of killing thousands of Palestinian civilians. To mention few, Qibya in 1953 and Qalqilya in 1956. Just Google and check them out. One of Sharon most prominent crimes was the Sabra and Shatila massacre in 1982. The Israeli Kahan committee placed indirect responsibility on him for the murdering of Palestinians civilians.. Now, that's what I call Palestinian civilians killer.

when apartments for poor people were to be built, is now silent when the Arabs memorialize the mass murderers of hundreds of Jewish children, women, men and the elderly of all walks of life. This is the Obama administration...!!

drop bombs on babys in gaza and go home for diner and tv!! so much more civilized than suicide bomberts and you can do it again the next day on welfare f16's and welfare bombs....martyred bombers only get one shot

And what about all the streets named after heroic "freedom fighters' from the Stern Gang and similar peace-loving organizations?

"For the second time in less than a month, the Palestinian Authority (PA) has moved to publicly glorify mass murderers of innocent Israeli civilians. Yehiye Ayash Just today, a street next to a Presidential compound in Ramallah was renamed in honor of Yehiye Ayash, Hamas? arch terrorist and chief bomb maker, whose advanced techniques of suicide bombing led to the murder and maiming of hundreds of innocent Israelis on buses and in bus depots throughout the State of Israel. Join the Simon Wiesenthal Center in urging President Obama, who has focused all of his recent demands on Israel, to immediately and publicly denounce the PA?s hypocritical and dangerous embrace of Hamas heroes. Failure for President Obama to hold the PA responsible for its actions will only encourage and embolden the PA?s duplicity in preaching peace to the world and honoring terror at home."

"There will be a strong two state solution when Palastinians are ashamed of murder. What a cultural transformation that will take." If you stopped killing them it would help.

that states the Golan is the key to peace. How stupid can some folks be? sadly, I know the answer...

Mr. Vickery is back to spread his Muslim Jihadist propaganda. Brave resistance fighters do not make suicide vests and bombs to kill women and children in restaurants, malls and busses. You want a brave resistance fighter google Hannah Senesch. We all know what your agenda is D J Vickery. We know why you come here to spread your filth.

of how many women and children did Golda, Ben Gurion and Begin blow up in restaurants, busses, schools and malls.Please give us a link to how many suicide belts and bombs were put together by Golda, Ben Gurion and Begin personally. Of course facts mean nothing to you. You are a supporter of terrorism Mr. Spear and the only reason you are on this site is to spread your agenda of Jew hatred.

oh please now don't make yourself sound stupid. We all know that the Irgun notified the British of the bombing of the king david hotel,which was military headquarters, don't we? When was the last time a palestinian terrorist notified their victims on a bus,car,plane or hike that they were going to kill them and give them ample time to get away. Israel targeted military the palestinians target civilians. The palestinians have given the world "the father of terrorism"yasser arafat..they have killed all over the world..at the olympics murdering innocent athletes...on airplanes...on the street...even targeting little boys in Jerusalem doing unmentionable things to them. You folks on the sick left have an agenda and that is to make Israel equal to the islamic jihadists...you can try but you will fail because your facts are impotent and the comparison is faulty. That sad this shows the morals of the palestinians..toilet behavior from corrupt pygmies.

geee, i wonder what he'll say...will he flay abbas and fayad same as he did to bibi? place your bets here...

The IDF should go into Ramallah and hang banners on the street each with a portrait of an innocent killed by Ayyash. The banners could be on parade leading to an alter of Moloch. There will be a strong two state solution when Palastinians are ashamed of murder. What a cultural transformation that will take.

why cant you people mind your own biz? what is wrong w/you

I wonder!

Israelis have named countless streets after people and groups who fit the definition of terrorists.

What's your problem? He was a men fighting for his people and his land, a hero, a freedom fighter. Don't you .... believe Ben Gurion, Golda, Begin, etc. are your heroes? They are terrorists for the Palestinians.

Let Obama know no more talk of Talks while he is in office. Jewkillers do not change.

and your response to that, mr hussein is what? or you're to busy writing the plan of what israel can and cannot do (well, in your dreams buster!)

...another man's brave resistance fighter.

Just like Israel glorifies the Jewish underground terrorists.

Did you expect something different? To the world they cry they want peace and are the victim and in reality they rejoice over killing innocent Israelis and dance in the streets when the world trade center comes tumbling down. Just the facts.

naming their streets after the alleged friends of the Arabs: 'Condalisa Rice, Jimmy Carter, Tutu, Mandela, Oslo, etc. and confuse the hell out of the Arabs. "The enemy of my friend is my enemy, but if he's my friend why is my enemy naming streets after him?" it'll drive them crazy1

Afterall, the PA are not Zionists, right? Right?

To this date, the UK considers Francis Marion a super-terrorist. The US has over counties named for him is over 40 of our 50 states. And Disney ran a TV series about him, too. Get over it. One country's terrorist is another's Patriot. How many 'Begin' things are named in Israel.

freedom fighter. Just as Israelis celebrate your founders who where terrorist by the British and Palestinians. The Palestinians also have the right to celebrate there freedom fighters so don't be hypocrites but then again..........

This action by naming a street after a terrorist shows the PA's true intentions, they are revealing their hearts to all the world they want the state of Israel to be abolished. Israel must act offensively and the US must back the Israel state.

They left out the part about how while the PA cancelled the dedication to Dalal al-Mughrabi 'cause of Biden visiting, they went ahead with the ceremony right after he went back to the states

There's no 'Shamir Street' or 'Begin Plaza.'

PA terrorists & thugs. Naming their streets after child-killers. This is the face of new Islam; A bloodthirsty,lack of any pretence of humanity. Parachuted on the world scene in the 21st century,finding themselves dazed & shocked,where downtrodden nations ,rose from the debris of WW2 & today are in the forefront of scientific,& technological progress. And the Arabs: Quo Vadis !? A suicide belt,72 virgins,aged 1,388 years old ! And dagger-carriers.

to see if ANYTHING the Palestinians do raises Obama's ire - or if it is only us.

The Zionists are complaining of this yet in every major Israeli city there is a street named after David Raziel. David Raziel was a notorious anti-Arab terrorist who placed bombs in Arab market places killing women and children. So please Netanyahu, get off your high horse.

Ramallah is sovereign Palestinian territory. If the PA wants to name a street after whomever they consider to be a hero then that is their right to make. Bibi is an idiot for issuing his statement that he is "outraged" In the meantime let him just say that he is happy that the PA is now naming streets in the Palestinian's future capital city.

Complaining about Assassins. Funny stuff. "Ayyash was killed in 1996 in what was most likely an Israeli assassination, after his cell phone exploded in his Beit Lahia home, in the Gaza Strip."

was honored. She would gladly name a TA street after hi but Israelis still not listen to her

If streets named after terrorists need to be taken down, then everthing named after Begin and Shamir. The last time I checked, blowing up busses and hotels was terrorism.

... that Pals are so devoid of ideals and suitable human examples, that they have to choose between honoring nothing and honoring a dung heap.
