What you don''t accept what i just posted about the 390 to 5 vote in the house, the U.N. resolution that demands international observers in Gaza to prevent Hamas from re-armings? the polls both in the U.S. and Palestine? Well how about this?
CAIRO %u2014 Arab countries appeared deeply divided on Wednesday over how to respond to the latest escalation in fighting between Israel and Hamas, with sharply differing comments from foreign ministers at the opening of an emergency Arab League meeting here.
Moderate Arab states generally allied to the United States blamed Hamas and Palestinian disunity for the crisis and more radical states, some of whom did not attend, urged collective action to defend the Palestinians against Israel.
In the most striking comments, Saudi Arabia%u2019s foreign minister, Prince Saud al-Faisal, took shots at Hamas and criticized the Palestinians for their inability to remain united behind President Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah %u2014 an implicit condemnation of Hamas, which took over Gaza entirely in 2007 in a brief but violent civil war with Fatah. Normally, during periods of Israeli-Palestinian fighting, Arab leaders only condemn Israel.
%u201CThis terrible massacre would not have happened if the Palestinian people were united behind one leadership, speaking in one voice,%u201D Prince Saud said at the league meeting%u2019s opening. - Reply to this comment

Wow! I can actually agree with you on something!! - Reply to this comment
- The total number of Jewish/Israeli spies convicted or expelled from the United States of America exceeds the number of spies convicted for all other ethnic groups.
As Jews make up about 2% of our population and blacks make up about 14% there should be 6 times as many black spies as there are Jewish spies wouldn''''t you think? I can''''t think of any black spies.

If you have any compelling evidence to support your claims, then people will likely consider your claims.
If you don''t, then they probably won''t. - Reply to this comment

No. I just don''''t care about it.
It is hardly a surprise to many that our Congress is still owned and controlled by corporate interests and by Zionists.

You don''t believe anything anyone states that is against your viewpoint. Same goes for most of those posting similar opinions. You are closed minded and only want to see hate toward all Jews or Christians. You don''t care who you side with so long as your hatred can be spewed forth. - Reply to this comment

Gallup poll, U.S. House of Representatives 390 to 5 resolution, Bush''s abstain from the U.N. resolution, and the U.N. resolution including the clause that international observers will be in Gaza to prevent Hamas from re-arming.
Just what do you need to see to convince you that America and most of the world stand with Israel?

- I tend to agree America does seem to side with Israel but I think their must be a reason for that one in which may not be totally clear. Perhaps we relate better and understand becuase of the jewish population in America or maybe as americans we just feel for a people who somehow always seem to feel oppressed because of their faith thru the centries. Or maybe 9/11 made us think that for the first time jews are not the only ones hated by the arab world. Just a few thoughts I welcome yours!

- Hiding behind Human Shields and slaughtering unarmed civilians, mostly women and children. This is the face of Zionist depravity and terrorism.

Posted by roscoe2400
There are plenty of confirmed reports demonstrating that the Israelis have targeted and killed civilians in Palestine.
This Israeli behavior is consistent with their failed campaign against the people of Lebanon in 2006, where the Israelis once again targeted and killed mainly civilian women and children. - Reply to this comment

- PRINCETON, NJ - Gallup --
Israel''s military action in the Gaza Strip after recent Hamas rocket fire into southern Israel has put international pressure on the United States to advocate an immediate cease-fire; but only 33% of Americans, according to a Jan. 6-7 Gallup Poll, say the Bush administration should be doing more to end the conflict than it already is doing. - Reply to this comment

It is not news that our Congress is still dominated by Zionists and by Corporate interests.
This resolution is particularly comical since the only group that we know of, FOR SURE, with a chronic policy of hiding behind Human Shields, are the Israelis themselves- proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, before their own Supreme Court.
www.adalah.org/newsletter/eng/oct05/1.php
The Israelis often attempt to attribute this practice to their adversaries, as an excuse to justify their own crimes and atrocities, and always without any substantial support.
One thing is for sure, though- that the Israelis have no standing to criticize anyone for using this tactic, since they so eagerly embrace this practice themselves.
The Israelis have truly become their own worst oppressors.

- Hamas uses primarily tiny home-made rockets, and have claimed mostly military targets, as you cited.
The Israelis have killed primarily civilians, mainly women and children, with very large and relatively sophisticated bombs and weapons.
This seems to demonstrate that the Israelis are either intentionally targeting civilians, or else they are far too incompetent and inept to be trusted with these weapons.
Again, Israeli''''s adversaries are offering the Israelis a lesson in targeting mainly military assets while minimizing civilian casualties, just as Hezbullah fighters did in Lebanon, in 2006.

Get over it ! You''re even more stupid today than you wre yesterday!
Today we have 915 palestinian casualties.
385 of them are civilians!
550 are Hamas operatives
There are 20000 Hamas Operatives and 1.5million Gazans
1 Hamas operative for every 75 Gazan Civilians!
If the Israelis were targeting the civilians, they would have killed thousands moe civilians than they have! - Reply to this comment

390 to 5
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. House of Representatives voted Friday on a resolution "recognizing Israel''''s right to defend itself against attacks from Gaza," Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Thursday. The resolution was passed 390 to 5.
Introduced by Pelosi and House Minority Leader John Boehner, the nonbinding vote came on the 14th day of an air and ground assault on the Palestinian territory. Israel says it is aimed at halting the firing of rockets into Israel by Hamas militants.
The resolution''s language condemns Hamas, which Israel and the United States consider a terrorist organization, for the rocket attacks and "for deliberately embedding its fighters, leaders and weapons in private homes, schools, mosques, hospitals and otherwise using Palestinian civilians as human shields." - Reply to this comment

Most of those guys are long-dead, and the last one has rendered himself irrelevant.
Support for Israel in the US is on its last legs, and is literally dying off.
President Carter was correct in assessing Israel as a shameful apartheid State. - Reply to this comment
