Comments on: Arab Nations Set For 2nd Gaza Let-Down

Both the Israeli and Hamas positions are totally self defeating. It is almost impossible to stop the rocket fire by military means, according to their own estimation. They are creating a huge humanitarian crisis which turns world opinion against them and spawns a whole new generation of terrorists so in the long term they make matters worse for themselves and in the short term they don''t accomplish their goals which means victory for Hamas.

Hamas would rather sacrifice the civilian population to garner sympathy and continue the military conflict protected by its human shields. In fact they have advised the population to stay in the line of fire precisely to create more martyrs.

Israel must stop and Hamas must be defeated but by political means and from inside their own borders. Otherwise the bloodbath will continue.

The Jew lobby in US is testing president elect obama if he is with them or Not. Also if you see the conflicts in the world right now you will see Srilanka conflict, Russian gas conflict, the Turk%u2019s and Kurds conflict, India and Pak conflict and conflict in Spain. All these are coz of change to presidency in US.
The atrocity done by Israel on innocent pals will not lead to any peace, what to accept from a father to see his family killed and the kids seeing there parents die in front of them. No way i see peace coming .. And when these fathers and kids go against Israel it is called terrorism.

Unless there''''s a provision that compels Hamas to stop the missile attacks that provoked the Israeli offensive in the first place, the resolution isn''''t worth the paper it''''s printed on.
-------------------------

The tragic truth is that the above is mandatory as regards to Israel. Permanently stop the rockets from Hamas, and then genuine peace talks can start with Hamas as a participant.
If Hamas is not a participant, any talks are useless.

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...

I have tried to imaagine myself in Gaza. No food, no work, living in a place most of us in the us wouldnt eveen let our dogs live in. Watching your children grow up maybe and it being no better.
The government goes up for election. One side says that they have done a lot (of which you see nothing). The other side says choose us for "change".

Well it worked here in the US.

Here''s a thought to all you Israel-bashers who think you got it all figured out by holding Israel solely responsible for this mess: go live in southern Israel for a month or two. As random high-explosive rockets fall into neighborhoods, farm fields and shopping centers FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER, try to get your head around what "provoked" the perpetrators to resort to such militarily ineffective but nonetheless terrorizing tactics. Then report back here. In the meantime, shut up.

This is untrue in part. While Israel left, they blockaded the gaza strip. Nothing goes in or out without their approval. Mostly its nothing gets in. Posted by kcits

Part 1:

THE EVIL IRANIAN ISLAMOFASCIST LEADERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FOMENTING OVERTHROW OF ARAB GOVERNMENTS, AND FOR SUPPORTING HAMAS, HEZBOLAH, AND OTHER TERRORIST MURDERERS AND THEIR ACTS OF TERRORISM AROUND THE GLOBE

The current Iranian regime - with it''s primitive, ''punish-and-destroy'' mentality - must be held responsible for much of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and elsewhere.

The current, ISLAM-IMPOSING, Iranian regime is working AGAINST the good interests of both peoples and nations of the world.

The current, ISLAM-IMPOSING, Iranian regime - with it''s primitive, ''punish-and-destroy'' mentality -
is HEAVILY responsible for instigating numerous acts of terror, destruction and murder, not only in the Mid East, but around the entire world.

The current, ISLAM-IMPOSING, Iranian regime - with it''s primitive, ''punish-and-destroy'' mentality - which hardly experiences a shortage of oil, gas, or petroleum, must be prevented from continuing with its nuclear weapons program without further delay.
(Who really believes the Iranian regime''s false claims that their nuclear program is for peaceful purposes??!!)

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!

The reason Iseral is doing this now is they can count on this administration to stone wall the UN resolutions. They know that once the power changes in 14 days they may not like the out come of what the UN is going to do.

So they are bent on destruction and they don''t care about the cost.

But then again it happens sometimes.

[Kilz]

When anyone who does not deserve to gets injured or suffers it is very sad, but that is unfortunately the result of Hamas and their policies. Israel left Gaza in 2005, giving Palestinians the chance to run their own lives.

This is a prime reason this whole mess exists. Had Israel just left theem alone, perhaps they wouldnt me murdering them now.
