Wondering what happened to Bush's big peace talks on his recent trip?

Its hard to achieve a peace deal between two parties if:

1. One of the parties has no authority over the group it claims to represent;
2. One of the parties does not recognize the existence of the other party.

''Abbas and his supporters gave up 80 per cent of the land of Palestine. This is why they are cast into the dust bin of history,' thundered Ahmed Jibril, the leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.'

That statement is crazy. The Palestine Mandate was divided and 75-80% went to arabs to form the country now referred to as Jordan.

So the arabs want the initial 75-80% (Jordan), plus most or all - depending on who you ask, of the remainder.

Any countries that sponsor and promote these radical groups should be called out and punished.

Its hard to have a peace agreement when:

1. There is no Israel.
2. There is no peace to be made.

Innocent Israeli people should leave Palestine or they may suffer the same reality that the Palestinians have been suffering for decades.

Yes I agree Harik, there are alot of Israeli Jews that have every right to live in The Holy land, but if they care about themselves and their lives, they should leave Israel now before they get bombed day and night. because we all know its coming their way.

@pahh

What do you mean exactly? Israel is a member of the UN.

The Arabs have been trying to 'make it come Israel's way' for nearly 60 years, maybe instead of continuing the war they lost, they should look to providing for their people.

Hey blokes I am Harik the Stinker... The other harik has stolen my tag so I assume he must be a hamas. So be it.
I am a bit curious how the Arab media can claim that civilians were injured (showing a picture of a guy with a black mask holding an AK-47 being carried into hospital. That must be the 2008 designer look for Gaza men. I can't wait to see it on the runways in The Paris fashion season this spring. Oh Brother the world is tired of hearing about the plight of the POOR Palestine when they have been more a victim of there own corruption. Where is the 3 Billion dollars that Arafat and the fat boys stole???? Mrs. Arafat knows......
One last thought… What organization/government would launch rockets at neighboring country expecting retaliation and in the process put your civilians in between the fighting and in harms way?? I thought governments are supposed to protect their people??? These Hamas do not care about their people or anything else therefore they are not a legitimate government. If the people support these Hamas then they are part of the fight and expect to be in the fight. The world should ask these questions. The Hamas could never exist in peace, they only kill…ask the Fatah
