Comments on: Abbas Calls For Palestinian Elections

Hamas Dismisses The Call As 'Illegal'

[ronniehm]

I read his article about how we "tortured" a poor innocent terrorist by taking him to the dentist in shackles. One thing I couldn't figure out from the article is whether the torture was making him wear shackles or the fact that we introduced him to good hygiene. Those cleanings can be fierce when you haven't brushed in 20 ramadans.

You're right about Grazinggoat he's not one of us you know of the human persuasion. I think Grazinggoat was found, shaved down and taught how to use the internet.

"God have pity of us."

You're obviously referring to foreign muslims, since that's what you are. Stop pretending to be one of "us".

[grazinggoat]

It's with deep sadness that I read and you guys(gals) should read this document. God have pity of us.

Muslims killing muslims in Iraq. Muslims killing muslims in Palestine. I could live with four more years of that. Bush in '08.

God, these people! Islam is a flawed religion to allow for all this killing. They need to reform their religion have Muhammad reappear or something.

You make a very good point about none of the Islamic countries wanting to have the Palestinians. What they want is for the Palestinians to keep living the way they are so that they can keep blaming Israel for Palestinians peoples woes. The world is on to this. Simple common sense and logic will tell you that with many wealthy Islamic countries why is it that none of them come to the aid of their poor Palestinian brothers. I see these Islamic leaders are good at giving speeches and funneling arms to Hamas and Fatah. It's plain to see that they come together real well when their binding tie is hatred. I've yet to see them come together in love and true brotherhood for their fellow man. If they care so much for the Palestinian people why don't they invest in Palestine? Build more hospitals, schools and universities? Help them with their infrastructure. Teach them to be self sufficient and not self destructive.

Peace loving Arabs...HA!HA!HA! You meant that sarcastically of course. Whoever believes in "peace loving Arabs" must also believe in the Easter Bunny and Santa Clause...................

Why aren't they welcomed by fellow peace loving Arabs?

[getserious1]

Getcentered, first, you aren't and 2nd, you should send yourself for your bigotry against the repubs.

[getserious1]

There never was a country called palestine, these people have been kicked out of all of the Arab countries because no-one wanted them.

[mjv2944]

This is a real surprise, Muslims killing Muslims.I don't think it will ever end because it seems that their religious leaders are causing a lot of it. Hamas and Fatah, I think are fighting for control of the money so that they can steal it. I am sure that the USA will be blamed. Was there ever a country called Palestine?

Ok, Thank you.

[getcentered]

We should designate a country for all WARMONGERS to live. Then they can kill each other off while the rest of us live in peace.

I'd put Chenny, Bush, Rummy, Kissinger and Gonzalez in there along with many, many more.

Good one about safely manning a gun by Wax-FaceCheney.

[stevex47]

Cathaleen,
Please accept my apology for taking a personal shot at you awhile back. I'm sorry.

[changeit4]

Muslims killing Muslims. What the hell else is new? It's fast becoming a fact, like the sun rising in the east. That doesn't make the news; why should the continued violence?

How many generations must die before they realize it's not going to work? I would have thought surely before now...

A civilization, religion, or culture CANNOT and will not ever emerge from poverty if it cannot stop killing its own members, let alone attacking others outside of itself.

Violence will never meet basic human needs. Are they crazy from religion, heat, malnutrition... WHY?

[stevex47]

Fartknocker2,
Ya we'll send cheney over there to show 'em how to handle guns safely.

[cathaleen]

This fighting has nothing to do with religion.
The Palestinian people are caught between two factions, Hamas & Fatah. The bottom line is that the Palestinian people want jobs, they want to feed their family and because of Hamas, there are no jobs and they're not getting paid for the ones they do now. Someone needs to step in (not Israel or US), maybe some Arab govt to stop this.

[getserious1]

Muslims killing Muslims....again....I agree with afmca, until the Muslim religious leaders call for peace, there won't be any. And as long as the Muslim leaders are more concerned with their own power and prestige than they are concerned with the people they lead, this will continue on and on and on and on. This is NOT something we (US) started and does not appear to be something we can stop, no matter what methods are used. You can't negotiate with fanatics that are willing to kill their own at the drop of a hat.
