Mahmoud Abbas is real name,but in Arabic you call a person who has kids by father of his oldest son\nabu means father \nand mazen is his oldest son\nthis gives respect to older people

how can one "illegally" occupy a place that was NEVER a country, state, or nation. AND that NEVER had a language, history, culture, or people called palestinian untill in 1963 egyptian born arafat applied the term to ARABS... and the UN does everthing against the one jewish nation on this planet while it does very little against the 57 muslim ones.

M. Abbas is the president of the P.A. He belongs to the Fatah party. Hamas is another party that was elected to represent the Palestinians.\n\nThe main point is that all these groups and even the so-called moderate M. Abbas are against Israel and would be very happy to destroy Israel. In other words, all the groups and parties are terrorists and the Palestinian people have elected these terrorists to represent them. Therefore, the Palestinians support and agree with terrorism as a means to destroy Israel rather than compromise with Israel to have their homeland.

I'd say probably Ahminajed (sp?) from Iran.  If offering to wipe someone else off the map doesn't qualify, I don't know what does

there was never a state, country, or nation called "palestine", in all history, NOR has there ever been a culture, language, history or people called palestinian, until arafat in 63 used the term to apply to ARABS... Palestinians ARE arabs, and are no different, they are the same people. So keep on dreaming, Even when arabs occupied the areas of gaza, "the west bank", and half of jeruslam, for over 19 years they did not make a nation of palestine!!! which PROVES that this has nothing to do with so-called palestinians, but rather to remove the one jewish country on this planet!

If somebody breaks in your house and you defend yourself by a knife, you're not a terrorist, that's just self defense. And in general, Palestinians are not terroist, avoid tabloids , discrimnation, and porpagandic medias, it makes us (Americans) look ignorant.

The Palestinian people have their own government and land.  And it is the Palistinians who carry out unprovoked attacks against the Israelis.  The Israelis are simply retaliating against the Palistinians and their terrorist Hamas government.

I've seen a lot of maps that do mention it.\n\nOf course, at the moment it should be listed _in addition to_, not _instead of_ Israel. One problem is the rather non-contiguous nature of the present Palestinian state: a bit here, a bit there. Some parts firmy under PA control, some still effectively parts of Israel. It's pretty difficult to draw a map saying 'Palestine starts here and Israel ends here'. Although political reasons do exist, I think it's more of a practical consideration than anything else. A lot of cartographers choose to point out the Gaza Strip and the West Bank - the two parts that make up Palestine - under those names.

for one soldier, yes, israel is retarded, fatah and hamas were just considered recognizing israel as a nation, then israel starts bombing the shit out of gaza, and not every one who lives in gaza is a terroist, their pissed at the israelis for stealing their land then locking them up in the most densely populated patch of earth on the planet. funny how the israelis are never called terroist when they murder innocent palestinian children

The concept of "Palestinians" is one that did not exist until about 1948, when the Arab inhabitants, of what until then was Palestine, wished to differentiate themselves from the Jews. Until then, the Jews were the Palestinians. There was the Palestinian Brigade of Jewish volunteers in the British World War II Army.\nThe Arabs who now call themselves "Palestinians" do so in order to persuade a misinformed world that they are a distinct nationality and that "Palestine" is their ancestral homeland. But they are no distinct nationality at all. They are the same - in language, custom, and tribal and family ties - as the Arabs of Syria, Jordan, and beyond. There is no more difference between the "Palestinians" and the other Arabs of those countries than there is between, say, the citizens of Minnesota and those of Wisconsin. \n\nWhat's more, many of the "Palestinians", or their immediate ancestors, came to the area attracted by the prosperity created by the Jews, in what previously had been pretty much of a wasteland. \n\nThere is no language known as Palestinian. There is no distinct Palestinian culture. There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, etc. Keep in mind that the Arabs control 99.9 percent of the Middle East lands. Israel represents one-tenth of 1 percent of the landmass.

A branch of Islamic is Muslim, and it's the Muslims that are doing all the stuff in the Middle East. The suiside bombings and stuff like that. I'm not sure if this guy is a Muslim, but the president of Iran wants Isreal blown off of the map. Let's just say that we better not give this guy any uranium!

The Palestinians are not the ones being blown up in buses it is the Israeli's, Koffi Annan is the head terrorists an fortunately he is history.

Because Hamas wants to destroy Israel.  America wants to support democracy because democracies usually don't support terrorism.  The Palestinians proved to be the exception here.  Just because Hamas wants to destroy Israel does not mean that the United States has to give Hamas money to do so.

the reason you are having trouble finding information about him is because his name is Muma Abu-Jamal. Google this and you'll get a bunch of results.
