Hamas: Gaps remain over prisoner deal

RAMALLAH, West Bank -A senior Hamas official says the Islamic militant group is still sparring with Israel over the names of 50 prisoners it wants released in exchange for a captive Israeli soldier.
The assessment signaled there are still significant gaps over the emerging deal. Last week, Israeli and Hamas officials spoke of progress, raising speculation that an agreement could be wrapped up within days.
Hamas wants nearly 1,000 prisoners for an Israeli soldier it has held for more than three years.
The Hamas official said Israel is still balking at including prominent political leaders and top Hamas militants it holds. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the German-mediated negotiations.
In Gaza, Hamas' interior minister said he hoped a deal would be reached by year's end.

The boosts of Jewish immigrants to Israel is over. The reason it survived for so long was due to the collapsing Soviet Union and its satellite states going into poverty and the Jews were fleeing to the "promised land".

Since there are no more immigrants, and the Jews currently living in other parts of the world don't want to go to the hellhole called Israel, the Jewish state is finished.
Their population is falling and now as I heard, the jews started to inbreed with relatives, because they won't mix with the Arabs and Gentiles do not want to go to live in Israel, they are denied by Jewish laws anyway.

The arabs outbreed them like 6:1, so even if they continue the wars or do whatever the hell, they are doomed anyhow. Israel cannot and will not survive. They don't even need an Ahmadijenad, neither Hizbullah, even if there is peace, they are finished for all.

Watch the upcoming exodus out of Israel in the near future, to every point of the world .

Many Israeli leaders and even American Jews have said that Jews control the USA and foreign policy through holocaust guilt, false accusation of nazism, and their lobby. They say it proudly! But then the rest of us can't comment on their own remarks? Ariel Sharon said all sorts of stuff like that, that anyone critical of Jews is a Nazi, that killing non-Jews is not a big deal, etc. So of course Non-Jews are Free to comment on such audacious comments. Israelis have been compelling us into this trillion dollar pointless mideast war which broke our economy for years. Why to keep Israel safe. Did you know that any Jew can go to Israel and receive Free Health Care paid for by the US tax payer? Jews in Hollywood and the News Media routinely plot negative campaigns about Christians while covering up stories about rabbi sex abuse and Rabbis stealing Kidneys by threatening the lives of recipients. Last, Jews demand that any Jews worldwide be allowed entry into the USA but these same Jews are behind the anti-Latino immigration policy because most Latinos are Catholic. It is disgusting that Jews like this are getting away with it; they are actually shaping USA policy to fit their racist Zionist views!

Jeff shut your Mouth; you are Christian and Muslim hater, so don't go asking us what lessons we learned. Jews say and do so much horrible racist ********* not funny. There have been several articles in various media outlets about how Jews in Media routinely break USA law and favor other Jews for hiring and promotion (consideration of religion in hiring and promotion is illegal in the USA). If there are Jew haters it has nothing to do with the past, it has to do with how many of you conduct yourselves now in the present day and nothing else.

The Israelis did not attack the U.S.S. Liberty several times by accident or miscalculation, they did it deliberately. Why did they do it? It turns out the U.S.S. Liberty was eavesdropping on Israeli military radio traffic while they were executing thousands and thousands of Egyptian POW's among other things. There are a lot of secrets buried in the sands of the Sinai Peninsula, secrets Israel wants to stay buried.

Wow boyiston, that was so intelligent. Be sure to post again with more of your Christian hate. Thanks for proving to me that there are many idiot Christians in the world who don't know what Christianity means. One day before you bite the big one I hope you learn. I guess you include your Savior in your comment too, since he was and is still Jewish, right guy?

The problem amanda is that there are too many Jew haters in the world like you. Didn't your savior and the Holocaust teach you anything or are you going to continue to be a fake Christian wannabe hater. Jews were always alone because people like you had to blame someone for your shortcomings. You are having a bad day, must be the Jews. Unfortunately you are not smart enough to see it. You would have been perfect for the role as a Nazi guard with your hate. Always look for the bad in the people you hate, never the good. FYI dummy, Jews have done more for humanity than you and your Christian wannabes could do in a thousand years but you are too stupid to see it. So girl look for the bad because that is what you are and Jews will continue to tolerate the crapola like you.

Israel is not an American “ally” in the Middle East; it is the greatest threat to the security of every American anywhere in the world. The people who speak of Israelis as “allies” all have their palms out behind their backs, waiting to be greased with campaign contributions.

Petek can you be more of a bigot, please, please. The problem is dimwit that you are too stupid to know you are a bigot. That is the problem with uneducated people. So you bring up the Liberty that was investigated by ten congressional committees, but that isn't enough in a bigots eyes, is it? How about when the Jews killed the Canaanites, oh you forgot about that. What's a dimwit to do? Look awipe, a number of years ago the US bombed the Chinese embassy killing diplomats. The US paid reparations, apologized and the incident was forgotten. With Jew haters like yourself it is never forgotten as long as you can bring up your hate. Look sicko, accidents happen, so deal with it as you deal with your bigotry.

This is welcome news, although actions speak louder than words

Greed has been a major factor influencing the decisions of the Likud - someone is making a killing in the inflated west bank real estate market. Other than that,they don't care what the world thinks, only fairy tales have meaning for these people.
