As the Palestinian leadership never seems to pay any penalty for its words, America's seriousness about the peace process is in doubt.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Peace cannot come from punishing the Palestinian people.
On the other hand, if the free world is concerned with how a new Palestinian leader governs, then the peace process will have a real chance to succeed.
I ask the American administration not to participate in any resolution that will double the suffering of the Palestinian people. I am convinced that the American people would not want to see the Palestinians suffer the way they do.
The liberals and free people of the world will not like to see the Palestinian people living under siege. We have received indications from the international community that they will not stop their aid.
If America is truly Israel's greatest ally, we should not be asking it to put its citizens and future at risk by forcing the establishment of a hostile Palestinian state as the only option.
I call on the Palestinian people to elect new leaders - leaders not compromised by terror.
Let there be no mistake, Hamas is a ruthless terrorist organization.
Every administration has this idea to talk tough to Israel and make nice to the Arabs and the Palestinians, and that's the way to bring about peace. It's counter-productive - it's actually the opposite.
The failure to set standards for Palestinian conduct hurts the cause of peace.
At the same time as we clearly condemn actions of violence by groups in Palestinian against Israel.
