Hamas breaks off ceasefire talks

GAZA (Reuters) - The militant Islamic group Hamas says it is breaking off talks with Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas on ending its attacks on Israelis.

"The dialogue has ended," Abdel-Aziz al-Rantissi, a Hamas leader told Reuters.

He said Abbas made unacceptable commitments at a U.S.-led summit with Israel in Aqaba, Jordan, on Wednesday.

Abbas called at the landmark gathering, which he attended with U.S. President George W. Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, for an end to the Palestinian armed struggle for statehood.

Hamas has spearheaded attacks on Israelis, including dozens of suicide attacks, during a 32-month-old Palestinian uprising for independence.

Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, held several rounds of truce talks with Hamas before this week's summit and expressed confidence he could achieve a ceasefire soon in further meetings with the group, which rejects peacemaking with Israel.

"Abu Mazen has stopped the dialogue when he committed himself to some issues not accepted by Hamas and will never be accepted by the Palestinian people," Rantissi said.

Rantissi made the comments a day after Israel killed two Hamas gunmen in a raid in the West Bank city of Tulkarm.

this compeletly arafat and I expect to see a coffin in his future shortly

[The Wizard]

what these sorry assholes fail to see is that GWB has been the one stopping the Mossad from taking out arafat, and that is going to be recalled now that GWB is working with all parties....

he ain't gonna let this little old man wreak his plans....

say good bye yassar

Why would anyone attempt to negotiate with terrorists like Hamas?
They need to be locked up or removed from this earth. Period.

Cutting off the heads of the snakes is probably a little overdue...If they want martyrs, let's help them supply them from the leadership instead of from the peons...

This way the PA gets their cake (weapons, murder, kill, death),
and can eat it, too.

NOTHING UNEXPECTED HERE.

The hunt continues because blasted rat poisoned nails in innocent children are the ticket to pair a' dice.

Just when was a homicide bomb vest worn to eternity by an Islamist "leader"?

Allah uuaakkkkkkk barf.

Jews, fight like it is Warsaw. Some survived - now it is your duty. Destroy Hamass. Americans are with you, but we're not there, but our prayers and weapons are.

Gee, I didn't know Hamas was the elected leaders of the Palestanians.

[CatoRenasci]

Indeed, this is Bush's "stratergy" - make the Palestinian terrorists make it clear that they are the ones who will never permit peace. Not even European politicians can publicly side with people who explicitly say they're going to either kill the Jews or push them into the sea.

I guess Hamas is getting their military advice from Sadamn still. Guess this means we'll have to invade Syria to end the threat to the roadmap.

Shaek Yasin will soon be visited by Mohammed Soprano.

[Catspaw]

Hamas is just following Arafat's lead.

[shadowman99]

quite the opposite.

Israel has signed onto an agreement in good faith the Palis are about to violate. The Jews make points on the agreement and get to take the gloves off now.

[Psalm 73]

"Hamas says it is breaking off talks with Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas on ending its attacks on Israelis."

Then Hamas will die.

Ara-o-Fatty has no redeeming qualities. He is like a foaming at the mouth, actually he does foam at the mouth, mad perverted murder.

Being dead is the only answer for him and his perverted policies.

One would think that if we can get pictures of these guys marching in the street.... we could just as easily hit them with a moab while they are marching.
