I am saddened by the fact that it is true.

"European diplomats and the French President were due to talk to the Israelis and Egypt was going to try and convince Hamas to ease the rocket fire."

They want Hamas to "ease" the rocket fire, but want Israel to "stop" any and all aggressions. Israel needs to make this the last time they have to deal with Hamas. They hide among women and children all the while firing rockets into Israel and then they want to b itch when Israel retaliates.

America supports the slaughter of the people of Gaza. I am saddened by the fact that it is true. - Posted by billdaviau

Stop the rockets and you stop the killing. Hamas is a terrorist organization hiding behind civilians firing rockets and mortars at Israel. They have fired thousands, thousands.

Jordan, and Egypt won''t allow Hamas in. The Arab League is opposed to Hamas. As a metter of fact, only radical Iran, terrorist themselves, supports Hamas.

Do you mean that Israel kills children deliberately to make Hamas stop firing rockets????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[milkchug2000]

Yes, civilians die in a war. Especially one where one side uses them as human shields. Hamas couldn''t wait until the the first innocent casualty so they can broadcast to the world how barbaric the Israeli Army is. If Israel was so barbaric, they would just bomb everything they can instead of risking their own soldiers lives. Hamas are cowards. They hide in hospitals and mosques. The death toll could be much worse but Israel goes very far out of its way to minimize civilian casualties. Hamas needs to be wiped out. I just hope the next leadership in Gaza sets up trade and industry instead of grads and katyushas.

Israel has all of the most modern weaponry, planes, guided missiles, tanks, satellite imagry, all compliments of the U.S. Taxpayer.
Gaza has no standing army, no electricity, no running water, primitive weaponry and no right to international trade or even relief as Israel has for 45 years controlled all border crossings into Gaza.
Now we are told that Israel has "invaded" Gaza. Isn''t it more accurate to say that Israel has elected to blitkrieg and slaughter their poorly equipped servant state? "Invasion" implies that the ones being invaded are not totally controlled by the invador...this is a slaughter, pure and simple.

America supports the slaughter of the people of Gaza. I am saddened by the fact that it is true.

Not the Israeli graveyard Hamas predicted


Gaza health officials reported 524 dead and nearly 2,000 wounded since Israel embarked upon its military campaign against Gaza''s Islamic Hamas rulers on Dec. 27.

Stop the rockets and save your children, Hamas.

[endurorob]

Of about 80 Palestinians killed during the ground operation, at least 70 were civilians

Are the Israeli soldiers shooting people at random?

This war will be over and then the next conflict will start. What do ya expect, it''s the Middle East. Start using the nukes. Sooner that starts it will ALL be over with.

[vcofreason]

They always show the pictures of the little kids blown apart. You would THINK that would get through to the a.s.s.onine fools (men) who start these conflicts. So now there are 524 more dead. How many does that make altogether in this stupid, repetitive, never-ending ridiculousness? I don''t care whose side you are on; war is DUMB and so are the people who start it, perpetuate it, fund it, participate in it, ANYONE who goes forth in favor of it. It proves NOTHING.
