- The Palestinians are bearing the fruit of hamas'' policy of senseless violence. Peaceful resistance is the way-disarm hamas.

- If you keep one thing in mind, it should be this: if there were no rockets shot into Israel, no arms buildup of military equipment, smuggled under several hundred tunnels that have been carefully constructed , then there would be nothing, absolutely nothing, not a gun, not a tank, not an airplane, not a paper airplane, from Israel going into Gaza.
It is a simple choice. It is the most understandable and basic request: stop sending rockets, stop spending all of your energies making war or preparing for war. Stop training men, women and children to use the rockets and embrace dying by being suicide bombers in schools, temples, streets, malls.Leave us alone. That''''s all. Just leave us alone. That is what any country -- even besieged and thrown-to-the-Muslim-wolves Israel -- has a right, and a duty, to demand. - Reply to this comment
- This crappy little Zionist nation is despicable.
I find it amazing that these murdering SOBs and their American neo-conservative supporters take great pride in knowing they are killing innocent men,women and children! All of you should be held accountable for war crimes and crimes against humanity! - Reply to this comment
- Great killing people is part of war.

You are talking about a war that was 66 years ago. when the technology we have today wasn''t available. israel is bragging about there surgical strikes, if thats the case then there should be a lot less causlties. Plus the palistinians can''t evacuate they have nowhere to go. israel is just blowing up buildings that they say have hamas supplies, gut do they really know. Just like the WMD''s in iraq. - Reply to this comment
- Hamas has declared war on Israel, violating every cease fire ever signed. Hamas has declared war with the stated goal of Israel''s destruction as the only solution, a final solution. Every Arab nation that lends military aid to Hamas, is an accomplice in this attempted genocide, and an accomplice to acts of terror. When genocide is the declared goal of Hamas, all the curses and maledictions that are being poured out, are only what they called upon themselves, and the heads of those who follow them willingly.

- Hamas declared war on Egypt and also killed many rival Palestinians. They had a cease fire that expired and that Israel offered to extend, but they refused it. They are a greater enemy to their fellow Arabs than anyone else is.

- Quick review of the facts:
Gaza democratically elected Hamas Party as representation. This was a result of 60 years of Israeli Zionist Occupation and THEFT of Palestinian land and natural resources. Israel left Gaza but retained OWNERSHIP of EVERYTHING. There was no political equity from Israel upon departure, only a SEIGE of Gaza, turning Gaza into an open-air prison.
Now, can anyone really be surprised the Gazans fire rockets at their oppressor? they are HEROIC in the efforts, not terrorists.

The most interesting thing on this posting is that it is completely untrue to the facts of history.
Israel existed before Mohammed was born and created Islam in 712 AD. There was no Palestine, but there was Israel. WHen the romans occupied Israel, they re-named it Phillistine-not Palestine. The arab world call it palestine because they could not pronounce Philistine.
So what are these people really talking about when they say occupied territory?
Yes, occupied by romans and then egyptian/jordanians-which by the way are at peace with Israel.
palestinians by name are originally part jordanian and part egyptian...which are rejected by those same countries nowadays. They dont want them.
I ask again, what are we really talking about here?
It is definately not land! - Reply to this comment
- Peace!
What are we really talking about when we refer to peace in the middle east?
They are not at peace among their own tribes inside their own country....
...And we expect them to understand what peace means to the rest of the world?
The middle east mentality is something the europeans and the western world...even UN has tried to crack down for years and years now with no avail. That mentality is fanatic, primitive and blinfolded.
The curious thing here is that having Israel as the only democracy in the region....having the enormous task of remaining true to their ideals which is ours...surrounded by wolves from many angles....many spectators outside the ring do not root for the only hope we have in the middle east.
Yes, Israel does have a right to defend itself from the ones seeking and attempting their extinction.
Peace in the middle east?
As long as the language of the palestinians, syrians, iranians, iraqis continue being one of violence and extermination...the word peace will not mean a thing to them. - Reply to this comment

- Get real people, killing civilians IS a part of war. How many German and Japanese civilians did we kill during WWII? Our first bombing raid on Tokyo was an incendiary raid on residential areas. We pounded Dresden into rubble. Part of wining a conflict is to demoralize the population so they will no longer support their military. The idea that civilians are innocent and there by excluded from war is naive.

- HAMAS SHOULDN''T HAVE PI$$ED OFF THE ISRAELIS. THEY PUSHED AND PUSHED, AND ANNOYED AND ANNOYED, AND IRRITATED AND IRRITATED, AND BULLIED AND BULLIED, AND THREATENED AND THREATENED AND PUSHED AND PUSHED. HAMAS ARE TOTAL AND COMPLETE IDIOTS WHO DON''T RECOGNIZE THE VALUE OF NEGOTIATION AND DIPLOMACY -- THOSE RELATIONSHIP TOOLS WHICH COULD HAVE AVERTED ALL OF THIS DESTRUCTION.

- Why don''t the arab countries put pressure on hamas to quit firing rockets towards Israel? Because subconsciously they are behaving exactly they way they want them to. The arab nations are sacraficing the innocent blood of Gaza citizens for their dislike of Israel.

- While I sympathize with the Palestinians, they must recognize and take responsibility for the fact that they elected HAMAS - a self-proclaimed enemy of ISRAEL...
How then could they expect to be left in peace when HAMAS refuses to recognize Israel - the first step in building a basis for a lasting peace (and other arab pipe dreams), and secondly HAMAS'''' history of suicide and missle attacks...
Really what did the Palestinians think would happen? and what do the Palestinians think is going to happen now?!?!?!
There is a remarkable difference this time around as diplomats look for "peace/cease fire" -- while they are going through the motions, including the Arabs, there appears to be a lack of urgentcy on all sides...aside from poo-pooing the poor GAZAN civilians
A sad but tragic truth may be that peace will come only from the ashes of GAZA...regardless of where one stands on the issue of the Israeli / Palestinian conflict...and the Press/media should stop differentiating between Hamas and the Palestinians and simply refer to HAMAS as Palestinians...
For the sake of world peace, let GAZA BURN! - Reply to this comment
- to Randy Iness: The hell with you! Those terrorists *** should not be firing any rockets at any speed except maybe at your house fool!!! It''s not about borders fool, it''s about annihalation stupid.

- What is wrong with Israel??
Don''t the Israelis know that they are supposed to sit back and do nothing when six thousand rockets are launched against their schools, homes, hospitals, supermarkets, cities and towns?
Don''t the Israelis know that when Hamas sends suicide bombers onto Israeli busses, into Israeli shopping malls and restaurants and supermarkets that the Israeli men, women, and children that are being blown to pieces should die without protest from the Israeli government and people?
How dare Israel have the nerve to want to protects its citizens from terrorists bent on its destruction?
By the rationale posted by some commentators on this website if you strike back at terrorists hell bent on your destruction, people who celebrate the death of every Israeli child they murder, then by striking back at the terrorists you are guilty of human rights violations. Let these fools move to Sderot and Ashkelon and endure the daily rocket attacks on THEIR families and see how they respond. These same leftists criticize Israel for protecting its citizens and blame America for 911. I guess Hitler and Stalin could be excused as well for the millions they killed. After all, Britain and America destroyed, not bombed, but destroyed entire cities in WWII. The left always blames the victims of terror and never the perpetrators. - Reply to this comment

- Why was there no coverage of Israel attacking an American boat filled with medical supplies--not to mention former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, doctors and surgeons. It also had a CNN reporter on board, but even CNN hid the story.
