PRC: Fayad and 'Ramallah traitors' targets for attack

These bloody cartoon characters are on the way out. Each day brings more forward movement on the part of the sane, necessitating more desperate stunts and pronouncements by men dressed in silly costumes surrounded by masked men with guns. They're on the way out like a receeding malodorous infection. And when Iran is militarily destroyed later this or early next year, these comic lunatics will look down, notice that the ground's beneath their feet is no longer there, and plummet to the sound of a Warner Brothers whistle. Poof.

HamASS has only brought misery to Israel and the disputed territories. What have they done lately for their own people? nothing but murder, rape and destruction. A bunch of wild kids who will never grow up and will continue to hide behind masks. Such groups are no partners for peace, never to be trusted !

Neutral you said " Doe this look like a country who is willing to give up any ofthe land it occupied?" What would you call Gaza? Israel gave that up without anything in return and all it got was an increase in terrorist activity. I think Israel has already proven it is willing to give up land so what facts are you basing your statement on?

Everybody makes promises for Israel. Blair has promised a connection - via Israel of course - between the West Bank and Gaza. Any conflict between the two will most easily and most probably take place on Israeli soil.

Watch these 2 hypocrits say nothing as usual.

Hannah time to wake up and realize that modern day Israel is located on LIBERATED JEWISH lands, as for your blind conclusion that Israel could not win against hezykhar that is because again those moslems hid behind children and woman and their leaders in bunkers far far away while they used their civilians as human shiel. By the way I was in Cairo during 1967 war ,and while IDF controlled the skies of Egypt since day one ,they hit all military targets but never touched a single civilian or civilian target ,and that is because Israel is very civilized modern country not like your barbarian pal ,plus Egypt never used us the civilians as human shield the way pal and hezphara does all the time.

The PRC is right: Occupied Palestine will be punished later. Now, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the whole PRC has to fight and finish the traitors of Fatah first. The Islamic Republic of Iran is always behind you, and won't let you down. It is already paying salaries in a stable Gaza, and providing light and heavy weaponry to the Resistance in Gaza. Our Al-Quds martyrs are already on the ground of Palestine, thanks to Egypt, and will continue to move the fight to the West Bank. Once we have all of the West Bank and Gaza under the green flag of Islam, we will go for the rest of Palestine.

So Bush and Olmert are contemtuous of Abbas. So what? Abbas has more up his sleeve than Bush and Olmert are capable of handling. The old dog is from the old school of politics and knows what he is doing. No? Then consider that he has steadfastly moved inch by inch closer to his goal of a legitimate palestinain state, while the others have wagged their tails on the sidelines while making a lot of stupid noise. It will take time, but leading people by the nose into getting what they really want is a complicated affair and these things must be handled....delicately (in the words of the Wicked Witch of the West). In the end we may not know precisely how it happened; but we will know that Abbas was behind it and got what he wanted. Regards

"Legitimate govs don`t wear ski masks, idiots." But Lynn, Immature idiots have to have SOMETHING that sets them apart from the rest of humanity. So let the mucho muchachos wear their masks. if they think that's macho supremo. I don't see how they can stand those things in the summer heat; but if they must act like nutty teenagers, so be it. Regards, Jim

Howdy Paulo; Hamas became an outlawed political party within the PA by conducting an armed (and sucessful) rebellion against the PA in the Gaza Strip. Under the PA Constitution, Chairman Abbas does have the power to dissolve the government and to appoint an emergency government during a period of national crisis (like a civil war) for a period of 30 days (extendable to another 30 days by a vote of Parliament). What I don't know is whether or not the Palestinian Parliament can continue to make 30-day extensions, whether or not the Hamas members of Parliament still have a vote (being from an outlawed political party), when new elections must be held, and if those elections can include the now rebel province of the Gaza Strip. The entire international community (including the Arab League) recognizes PM Fayad's government as being the legitimate government of the PA and not the now defunct "national unity government" of ex-PM Haniyah. Whatever, Abbas can just rule as a dictator regardle

While Hamas has held the majority of the Palestinian legislature as a result of a democratic election, they seized control of the government by a coup, which tends to cancel out the "democratic" nature of Hamas.The presence of Fatah in the West Bank is the only "peaceful" party willing to get along and go along with a Jewish government as a neighbor.The majority of Palestinians in the West Bank would be willing to tolerate Israel as a neighbor, so long as they are receiving the tax revenues,weaponry and munitions, advanced medical care and political support from the Jewish state.

"Fatah and Hamas terrorists dont want peace" - You say this on the premise that Israel wants peace with the Palestinians, Israel has never offered peace to the Palestinians that has included prospects for an independent and sovereign state for all its people. I dont expect much from Israel, the terrorist state committed to the destruction of Palestine. Need I remind you Jerry that Israel is responsible for the indiscriminate murder of more civilians than Hamas, your last PM was deemed responsible for the murder of thousands of refugees in Lebanon. Please tell me again how Israel really wants peace as it builds a wall that denies Palestinians any chance of self-determination and expands its illegal colonisation of Palestinian land.

"We want peace and co existence and if that happens as a result of something that's 'unconstitutional' well then" - Did you just read what you just wrote before you posted it? You said you want peace and co-existence but you also support Fatah's illegal usurpation of the PA on a platform that the President explicitly declares will be free of any negotiations with a majority-elected government. Hamas on the other hand have openly declared their willingness to negotiations on the premise that security on the territories is de-politicised between the two factions. I think you should make it clear your own intentions for "peace and co existence". You want a powerful force (ie. Israel and the US) and a submissive other (Fatah) that allows no room for criticism. You want a Palestine that is made up of the scraps of territory Israel doesnt care for rather than a sovereign and independent state that allows peace and justice for Palestinians. "Its call reality" - No its called your reality.

Time is on the side of the Palestinian resistance. In 1967, the West was supportive of Israel. Forty years later, the crimes of Israel have become increasingly acknowledged in the West, even in the US. Israel's high water mark in US support will end with the end of Bush's presidency. Until Israel ends its crimes against Palestinians and withdraws to 1967 borders, Israel will increasingly be a pariah nation on a perpetual wartime footing, with increased unrest among its own Palestinian population. The Palestinian militants can outlast Israel's militants. They have nothing else to lose.

When the educated minority like Fayad and Abbas are gone, you will masses of pernicious dark forces--Jihadists that are hellbent on the destruction of Israel. Israel has no choice but to defend itself against these ravenous wolves. Don't give away your precious GOD-given liberated homeland of Judea and Samaria no matter what the external forces want to bear on Israel. It is none of the business of other countries to meddle in Israel's internal affairs. Don't give in to internal forces who want to bring down the house that the Jewish pioneers have sweated and died to rebuild and defend over the millennia. The dark reality in the Islamist-Jihadist world is that they are all the same--fanatical Jihadists who are hellbent on the destruction of non-Islamist countries. The sad fact is that so long as there are Islamist-Jihadists, there will be NO peace in the Middle East or the world at large.

with all due respect to all those who believe and agree with john, god has nothing to do with this. it is pure socio-economics, not religion. it is real-estate and water that drives the politicians. i sympathize with the religious folks. governments on both sides are taking advantage of your beliefs. moslems do it, chistians do it, and of course jews.

fatah has always been corrupt. hamas is so idealistic and in experience that they are causing more harm than good. it is the poor palestinians inside the territories and gazza who are suffering. what the palestians need is someone who can negotiate and solve the occupation problem. israel, the u.s. and the west believe abu mazen is credible and able to negotiate. then so be it.... let us put an end to the suffering on both sides, palestinain and israeli. in my book, it is he who is able to negotiate and land a deal, should lead. period. at this time it's fatah. then ok, show us the money...

The late PM Rabin was murdered by an extremist Israeli , who in no way represented the general Israeli public.You tend to equate the extremist Israeli with the usual, everyday Palestinian terrorist among the Palestinian population.Your naivete or breathtaking ignorance is only surpassed by your ardent anti-Israel bias.

Take a look at a map; all of your neighbours are threatening you in one way or another, and sooner or later. Try using a calculator and adding up the number of zionists vs the number of your enemies. Look at 34-days last summer in the miscarried zionist adventure; look at Iraq, and understand how feeble high-tech US weapons are against your enemies. And then take a look around at the changing public opinion world-wide against so-called Israel. And then, last but certainly not least, take a long and hard look at your own face in the mirror: the intentions and actions of zionism have resulted in your being enclosed in a schetl of your own choice and making, with no friends and many enemies. Rather than whining and complaining, as is your want, perhaps you should engage your considerable energies in changing the intentions and actions of your heretofore vile and evil so-called Israel.

I am not your friend and you do not know a thing about any of this very complex subject Its time for you to take recess and go play with Nahool and dig up Farfurs corpse. Imbicile

Neutral ... who do you think has written this into their charter? Israel? "There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors. The Palestinian people know better than to consent to having their future, rights and fate toyed with." Article 13 Hamas Charter And this is what Israel said to the Arabs in 1948 "WE APPEAL — in the very midst of the onslaught launched against us now for months — to the Arab inhabitants of the State of Israel to preserve peace and participate in the up building of the State on the basis of full and equal citizenship and due representation in all its provisional and permanent institutions." And instead they got war ...

which one are these guys? perhaps both.

Paulo ... read everyone's lips ... WE DON'T CARE. WE WANT PEACE AND CO EXISTENCE and if that happens as a result of something that's "un constitutional" well then, what shall we do? Ignore it ? Throw it away? Its called REALITY ...

"Remember sadat." You have a selective memory, my friend! I noticed you did not mention Former PM Rabin who was murdered by fellow Israelis for daring to promote peace with the Palestinians. Israel does not want PEACE. Rather, she wants PIECE (of the Palestinian estate)!

will abbas and fayad call them resistance fighter when they attack them?? PRC says they will use the same forms of attacks as they do on israel, so the descriptions cannot change. cant wait till bombs goes off in the WB and destroy any still existing cafes and resturants. now remember these are not teror attacks since abbas doenst consider hamas or PRC terrorists groups.

Think hard folks, about the four decades since the Six Day War. When, ever, has Fatah exhibited anything but incompetence and cowardice? When has it been a paragon of honesty and diligent administration? When has it not been any more than a gang of thugs run by petty warlords? You folks can bet on Fatah. I will bet on the track record of Fatah.

"What does Isale`s constitution say about defending homeland, Oh sorry I forgot, there no such thing as an Israeli constitution..." - Gazan There is a basic law. The constitution of the PA has been overthrown by force in the West Bank. Palestine is the nation without a "constitution." I can't even see where it has a government.

"A group of Palestinian politicians, business people and other key political players have been working in recent weeks on an initiative to form a new political movement that would not be affiliated with either Fatah or Hamas. Several more prominent supporters of the idea are considered close to Fayad. " - Haaretz And even the man Abbas promoted by dictum, has his knife sharpened and at the back of Abbas. Despite the smug attitude of the "mission accomplished" crowd, the situation is very, very dire. But when dealing with self-deluded incompetents like Bush and Olmert reality is not something you can expect them to entertain when their fantasies are so self-congratulatory. Abbas has few options. None of them good. His enemies are legion, and his allies contemptuous.

"Fayad's government is linked with the Israeli occupation and the U.S. administration and so its stance is not astonishing," Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri told reporters in Gaza Saturday." - Haaretz And that is the problem folks. Had Israel and the US acted swiftly to lift the jackboot off the necks of Palestine Abbas could have come out of his failed coup with the appearance - AND FACT - of 'saving his people" from extremism. Instead the US and Israel have treated him like a supplicant toady to be humored with crumbs. And thus the US and Israel have treated him as if he was a traitor, useful, but contemptible. And so Abbas is coming to be seen by "his" people.

Dear Marcelo, It is not the fear of peace. It is the norm of radical Islam, `the fanatics united to the core` no matter who or what is on the other side of the line, talking business as usual.

The immediate responses of the Olmert government and the Bush administration were typical. Neither had any plans for what happened if the coup succeeded, much less if it failed. It sort of failed. Gaza is firmly in Hamas hands and Fatah is showing signs of disintegration in the West Bank. Neither the US or Israel has acted swiftly to bolster Abbas - lots of talk for their own public, but no action which would convince Abbas's public - and all of the small players have leapt at the chance. Which Palestinian militants will garner the credit for whacking Abbas? Which faction in Fatah will take down Fayad? "PRC spokesman Abu Abir dubbed Abbas, Fayad and other members of the government the "Ramallah traitors" and vowed they will receive an "identical response as to the Israeli occupation." - Haaretz The race to expunge the "traitors" is on. Will Olmert or Bush rush to save Abbas? No, as far as they are concerned it is already "Mission Accomplished!"

Ego driven, if you ask me. So concerned about stature and party they would let the Gazans die in the desert. This threat won't make Fatah very happy.

It's Fayad who seems to frighten the guts of the exremists rather than Abbas. Fayad has clean hands (from bribery) and seems to have a following among the middle class Palestinians. He is moving in the right direction and does not leave his followers behind. There are only two things that can derail his effort: Israel's unwillingness to yield significant land to create a contiguous Palestinian state and a bullet of an assassin. If Israel responds, however, positively and sincerely to the Arab peace initiative the bullet of the assassin may end one life (hopefully it will never happen) but not the movement toward peace. Beware of the settlers .A bullet may come also from that direction.

There is no denying the fact that Abbas complete takeover of the PA is unconstitutional and illegal. Whilst he argues that Hamas' takeover of Gaza was a coup it must be remembered that they held the Authority's majority power via a democratic election, this 'emergency government' has been instilled with no legal or constitutional backing and is completely at the expense of the democratic wishes of the majority of Palestinians.

That's just great, Abu! I knew that the PRC and your bosom buddies in Hamas wouldn't let me down. Go ahead and drive another nail in the coffin of Palestinian national unity and reconciliation if you want to (I predicted it over a month ago). The "Ramallah traitors" are in charge in the West Bank and you are stuck in the Gaza Strip 40 Km. away with Israel in between. The peace train has left the station and you are still standing on the platform with a silly expression on your face surrounded by a bunch of armed thugs. It must be really frustating to realize that the entire international community (including the Arab League) is backing Abbas and his new government and that nobody cares what you think about its legitimacy or lack thereof. Enjoy your stay in Hamastan (forever I hope).

to defend Abbas, who used his to attack Israel.

Arabs don't want return to '67 line, they want the pre-67... Look at a map, see the difference, it's considerable...Hamas doesn't accept any lines, they want the Jews OUT, and have stated so repeatedly, or haven't you heard??

Didn't Hamas say they weren't going to wear them anymore? HA HA HA HA HA!!!! Legitimate govs don't wear ski masks, idiots.

Many do with great reverence and humilty.

"Israel welcomed on Friday remarks by ministers that Palestinian Fayad's government program, yet to be presented to parliament, does not feature a commitment to "armed resistance" - unlike those of its Hamas-led predecessors." What does Isale's constitution say about defending homeland, Oh sorry I forgot, there no such thing as an Israeli constitution...you should guess

Hamas and its allies are unable and unwilling to make the transition from "fighting" to politics. Like all fanatics, they are convinced beyond reason of their truth and the rightness of their acts. They have already threatened civil war, and now they are threatening assassinations and terror acts in the West Bank. One can only hope that Abbas and his security services are ready.

Marcelo, It looks like you have been listening to inept George Bush for too long. That is his line, you know: "Terrorists are so afraid of peace becase it will put them out of business." We will wait and see how much Israel is willing ot effer to promote the so-called peace while at the same time expanding sttlements. Doe this look like a country who is willing to give up any ofthe land it occupied?

What is wrong with these guys (Hamas)? Do they always want to live the way they are living, like bandits and human beings being slaughtered everyday. I think they are austistic. I hope Abbas has seen the light and is truthfully thinking in the genuine peaceful way, but, hey, only time will tell in this area of the Middle East. All I can say is, if everyone will stop the killing and we work together, this area can be a Garden of Eden.

Whats needed is Israel, Eygpt,Jordan all want peace. Peace is at hand. To make it happen These 3 countries need to go in to the Gaza Reservation and Terrorist Preserve and clean out the Hamas trash. Yes for once Abbas and the Palestinians have a real chance to have peace and have a life. They have a chance to become neighbors of Israel. Eygpt,Jordan and Israel need to make this happen. The only way is to remove, or exterminate, or do what ever needs to be done in Gaza so there will be no more threats, no more missles and people can go forward with their lives. The Hamas Militants are like Hezbollah, and Islamic Jihad a cancer in the mideast and they all need to be wiped out.

The PRC`S spokesperson the friends of HAMAS JUST showed to all of us their real face.They are not Muslims their days are coming!!

If you take Hamas out of the picture, most Palestinians will not back Abbas or Fatah. Rice, you are clueless.

Fayad is a strong man with a vision and only a man like him can makes peace and we all must support him and stand behind him. These gangs of bandits like Hamas and all others they care nothing about the Pals. and they will have no justification if there will be peace so they are very afraid as it will take the wind from their sails so they must continue with threats and murder and spread the hate and fear as it is their way. I salute to Fayad a brave man Alla will suport him.

remember sadat.

Yes, Their Pal brothers are "back on the Menu" people.

hamas' logic appears to be peace at our terms only and other peace that occur isn't enough. it is a victim mentality. the palestinians suffered. but leadership has to understand 1) damage control, and 2) realistic expectations. not sure hamas can process this logic.

Israel's settler, land-grabber movement is the siamese twin of their Palestinian opposite numbers. Separated, they could not exist - they need each other to justify their existence. The solution is to lop these branches from the trunk and roots of their trees, to slowly wither and decay. Many of them will eventually see the light and accept the peace of the majority, based on the Saudi Plan, return to the 1967 armistice line where the war ended and peace can begin.

PRC'S spokesperson should mind his language. I beleive his time is up and Mishal's time too.

as peace momentum builds up, hamas will escalate and ignite internal conflict with pa. the last thing hamas wants to see happen is successful, measurable improvements led by ramallah for 1)palestinians' lives, and 2) the overall palestinian issue. what is really sad here is a palestinian (hamas) narrow-mindedly more focused on party gains than the overall palestinian struggle.

It really amazing how these guys are so afraid of peace that they threat to kill their own people...again...with peace hammas and hizbullah will have nothing to do but to look for a peacefully job and that is what they are afraid of....
