    ew,
    do you think that the Arabs would have invaded "israel" had it been created on the land of the people who oppressed the jews? had europe compensated the jews by building their state on part of germany that persecuted them, do you think that the Arabs would have invaded that state? the "israelis" came from europe and stole Arab land and either they accept to live under Arab rule or they will have to swim back to europe. no one stays strong forever my dear. it seems that you don't know much about history and you don't know much about Hagel's dialectics.

      I know quite well the history of the Middle East. Not the babble which you spew but the real truth. Isreal wasn't just created after WWII by the British and Americans, The Jews inhabited the land way before that in ancient times. They were scattered by occupation by the Assyrians for disobediance to God and then completely removed from the Holy Land within a few centurys after the Christ was crucified. Their return to the Land was foretold in the New Testement of the Christian Bible, and thus has it happened. The Palestianians on the other hand aren't even an ethnic group of their own. Rather they are squatters who have settled on land which was clearerly not theirs. Yes, they were there for a generation or two, but not centuries as the Isreali's. The hate harbored by you far outweighs anything the Jews may have done in their own defense. I see them constantly being subjected to attack, so I don't blame them a bit for whatever steps they must take in order to defend themselves from the cowardly rocket attacks on innocent civilians. You ask for trouble and yet when you get it all I hear is whining. If you would show that you wanted peace perhaps it could change. But as long as attacks continue you get what you deserve.

    shoe,
    now who needs a brain when you quote someone like bush?

    naver,
    in 25 years, you will not have this racist state that you defend. trust me on that. nazi germany is gone, the ussr is gone, the US empire will be gone as it is starting its downfall as we speak and you will not have any superpower to back you. things are changing by the day and you are living in denial thinking that the whole world has to pay for what you did to yourselves. had you not been haughty with a separatist attitude, no one would have hated you and no german would have supported the nazis. you think that you are better than anyone and you refuse to be part of any nation that welcomes you and you only take advantage of them and never give back and that is why they hate you. the african americans served in the war to destroy the nazis and all you did to repay them back is by moving your shops into their poor neighborhoods where you make so much money out of them and never contribute anything to their communities. you think that they hate you because you are jews, but they hate you because you exploit them. no one hates you because you are jews; they hate you because you always exploit any community that you live in because you think that you are better than them.

    Whoever thinks that Israel just stole the occupied lands are sadly mistaken. They were invaded and defended themselves as best as they could. After all they are surrounded on all sides by nations pledged to the destruction of Israel. They almost succeded too. God worked a miracle and instead it was turned into a great victory. But they didn't start that attack. It was a Jewish Holy Day. How chickens--- is that? I do beleive that the Palestinians should have their own home land but they do need to be resonable. Israel has offered concesstions never before imagined and yet they have been turned down. Even half of Jerusulam was offered for the capital. What more do they want? Try an honest approach to live together, it is in both countries best interest.

    snero you are distorting the truth. The PLO did what you said Hamas wont and they never got anything out of it. They "recognized Israel's right to exist," the PLO signed peace aggreements with Israel and gave up almost everything they were fighting for in order to get a little bit of the land they used to live on - but Israel has continued to defy any peace agreements or ceasefires, they have continued to expand settlements. So it is hardly surprising Hamas want to try a different tactic.

    Jafra: i understand how bad it is for Palestinians but don't fall into the trap of hating everyone for the actions of their leaders - there would be too few people left in the world to love. But you're right why should Palestian recognise a fascist state?

    • Posted By: Naver @ 02/01/2008 10:42:43 AM

      Thats just straight up lies.
      The PLO never lived up to its end by stopping Hezbolla, Hamas, or any of the other terrorist attacking Israel.
      Israel never defied and cease fire. They only responded to attacks. And attempting to hurt people and sucking at it is not a rational excuse to not respond to the attack.
      And to clarify, Hamas has always said there will be no peace with Israel and said they will actively underminded any and ever attempt at peace. So how did they try a different tactic??
      Oh you must mean how the started attacking other Muslims who were actually trying for peace.

    Naver, if anyone is a fool, it's you. I think you need to read all the posts below and get a grip of yourself, because now you're the one spewing typical Fox News propaganda. Even if they throw their children and themselves in front of tanks and buses, this is sheer desperation from the oppression Israel has inflicted on them. You take for granted having your own home to go to, where nobody has held a gun to your head and forced you to leave or bombed all your neighbours, knowing you'll be next if you don't run. Besides, what are a few rocks in comparison to the weapons Israeli have and use on Palestine. You're crazy if you think Israel's attack is justified. Any normal human being can see that. As for the leaders taking money, errrr didn't the Jewish leaders do exactly the same post WW2!!!

    Even if the US did want to wipe out the Muslim faith, don't you think they'd be a little more strategic and tactical than going out and blowing the crap out of everyone? Such domination is an extremely slow process and could take hundereds of years but if there are enough narrow minded people like you in the world, then it could take less. You people are so far brainwashed by Western media and you don't even know it. Travel to other Muslim countries to see how welcoming and peaceful it is. Read books and see the bigger picture. Search the internet and you'll find how, actually, Muslims were light years ahead of the West in terms of science and mathematics.

    You really need to have some intelligence to back up your argument otherwise you just sound like a ranting, Muslim-hating, brainwashed, Southern American state, Yankee.

    • Posted By: Naver @ 02/01/2008 10:09:52 AM

      Did you really just compare making or tricking children into running out in front of a heavy armored vehicle, to a weapon?? Your sick. If that is the type of parenting going on over there, it is no wonder the people agrow up duleuded and full of hate.

  • Posted By: Jafra @ 01/23/2008 11:03:32 PM

    Snero, do you expect Hamas to become zionist and recognize the existence of a racist state on our land? That racist state should not have existed in the first place. If the Jews who live on our land want to continue living there, they have to live under Pallestinian rule or LEAVE!

    • Posted By: Naver @ 02/01/2008 8:32:58 AM

      Actually its was the romans land, then the byzantines, then the Turks land. Anyone tring to lay any claim to any land in the Mideast, except the Turks and the Egyptians is a loon.

      And since the Jewish people are in both the histories of the Turks and the Egyptians I think they have a more plausible claim to land then a people and a country that was made up after WW1.
      :)

      jafra, it is you who is racist, that is obvious. you are full of hatred and rage, and have been raised to be this way. your religious and political leaders have chosen this path, you are thier product. you do not belong in a free society, you are bent and distorted beyond repair. your leaders are to blame. not jews, not america, not anyone but your own people. try that on for a minute, like maybe it might have some truth to it. what man in his right mind teaches children to emulate mass murdering maniacs? only arabs. you guys are the biggest losers in the world. keep it up, you will keep losing.

  • Posted By: taobsu @ 01/23/2008 11:03:11 PM

    For those supporters of Israel government, please check your history book. What happened during WWI in Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Ghetto_Uprising)? I see the history is repeating itself: Just replace Jews ghetto then with current palestine refuge camp, or Gaza. The only difference left is that time the brutal agressor is Nazi (now is Isreal gov), Anyone doubt Jews heroric uprising?

    • Posted By: Naver @ 02/01/2008 8:28:14 AM

      Well seeing as it was a short to long term hold area for the death camps, how does what the Palestinians are doin to themselves compare to what the Nazi's did to the Jewish prisioners? I think everyone would know if Israel was putting Arabs, by the thousands, in gas chambers or giant ovens to kill them. People starving because they are waiting for someone they want wiped off the Earth to give them free stuff is kinda stupid. Israel is not stopping them from getting food from other places.

      The Jewish people in the Warsaw Ghetto were not aloud to leave, or even plant a garden. They could only get food from the Nazi's, well when the Nazi's felt like giving them food. Also the Jews found out that the Ghetto was a holding pen for the death camps.
      So what your saying is that you really have no idea what you are talking about, you are just spouting BS to try to support your unsupportable position.
      I would have more respect for you if you just came out and said you hate them, you dont need a reason to hate them, and want them all dead. At least that would finally be some truth out of people like you.

  • Posted By: shoegen @ 02/01/2008 3:53:07 AM

    The election of Hamas and then the violent takeover of Gaza only proves that the muslims don't want peace with Israel they only want to kill the Jews. The Israelis know this and once the rest of the world sees it then we can begin to solve some of the problems in that part of the world. Giving all the military aid Israel asks of the U.S. is absolutely necessary for their security then we can assist the moderate Palestinians in building a stable nation but the fight against the Islamo-facists must continue until we have wiped them out or they do it to themselves. Iran pulls the strings of Hamas and Hezbollah and supplies the shiites in Iraq with weapons and explosives so it is inevitable that someday thats where the fight will be.

  • Posted By: Naver @ 01/31/2008 3:07:24 PM

    Some facts that a lot of people do not want anyone to know. Look it up if you do not believe me.
    FACT:
    Palestine as well as Israel were originally part of the Roman Empire.
    Then the Byzantine Empire.
    Then the Ottoman (Turkish) Empire.
    Then for allying themselves with the Germans( who surprisingly wanted to wipe out everyone else but their type of people...wait that sounds familiar...) during WW1, the British took over and changed the countries, areas, and borders many times. And because they were mad at Europe they took it out on the Jewish people ( I know it makes no sense).
    --So if people are really insistent about returning it to the "Original People" it would go back to Turkey as their are no more Roman or Byzantine countries.
    FACT:
    The Jewish people fought and suffered alongside the Muslims against the Christian (which was really just a land grab attempt by European kings, they just used the Birthplace of Christ thing as an excuse)Crusades. ...Hmm leaders using their peoples religion to their advantage....so familiar...

    COMMON SENSE: If someone puts a rocket launcher in your house, you should leave, you are not safe, the people that the rocket gets launched at are not going to be happy. If your neighbor is constantly antagonizing someone with tanks, bombs, etc. you are not safe. You can, leave, report them to the authorities, or stay and suffer the consequences.

    By the way, International law holds the people who put those "civilians" in the position to be killed responsible, not the responding party. That is why Israel has never been sanctioned by the U.N.

  • Posted By: Naver @ 01/29/2008 8:07:46 PM

    Oops forgot! Someone with the screen name "gjhad" calling me unethical and obnoxious is either funny or sad. And like I said what makes you think that Israel is under some obligation to provide anything they produce or that uses their infustructure in anyway to anyone but themselves.

    So you hate the Israelis. Ok so lets say they all left. You would just end up with a bigger slum that would still need everything they need supplied from another country. Hmm you hate them but demand they hand out free of charge what is theirs to someone else......

    I am waiting to hear more lies and propaganda that says nothing about Palestine not being able to take care of its own people, and how every cease fire has been broken by Muslims.

    • Posted By: BEAM ME UP @ 01/31/2008 8:00:50 AM

      Naver,

      YOU ROCK! I love the Arab supporters screaming about the evil Israelis when it takes world outrage and an intervention by a king to stop a rape victim from being further victimized by her government. Or the outrage those maniacs feel over a teddy bear being named "Mohammed." (Religion of peace? Yeah....right.)

      The Jews in Warsaw fought the Nazis, who did things to them that the Israelis have NEVER done to the Palis, and the Jews did not use suicide bombers. Some people are people, and some are just crazed nutjobs. If the Palis went to the Non-violent approach today (Thurs), they would have a State and East Jerusalem on MONDAY. But they prefer to kill, and kill.

      Keep up the good work, Naver. THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL LIVE!

    I saw on T.V. a palestinian shot at an Israeli tank with an M-16 then duck behind the corner of a building after that the tank fired at the corner of the building destroying it and also the gunman. It was the funniest thing I saw on T.V. that day what a moron. It's too bad these nuts don't hand out brains along with the rifles, but if they did they would not have enough idiots to stand up to tanks.

  • Posted By: pablito @ 01/30/2008 10:54:33 PM

    I am sure i have said something similar myself in the past but it must drive the Palestinians crazy to here people from the US say that Palestinians and Israelis should just be friends.

  • Posted By: Naver @ 01/30/2008 10:53:39 PM

    Oops missed this.
    gjdad how were the Palestians people the "original" people there when Palestianians did not exsist until the British made it after WW1? Espescially since Palestine and Israel were originally part of Jordan. Didnt someone on here tell me I needed to learn history??? I say lets aske the Jordans what they think since it all was original theirs.

  • Posted By: Naver @ 01/30/2008 10:45:54 PM

    Lets look at the U.N.'s reports on who helped out Palestine the most...The informations can be found on the U.N.'s ReliefWeb page. I cannot post a direct link in a post.
    Well Egypt contributed(1.3 million u.s.$), so did Turkey(250,000 u.s.$), and the U.A.E. (almost 700,000 u.s.$)........Hey OPEC coughed up 100k u.s.$ for the better treatment of women (well we all know that they are down on their luck right now). Where are all the rest of our Muslim countries support???? Well look at that! DENMARK gave more aid then all the "Arab Muslim" countries combined (2.3 million u.s.$)
    My math could be wrong but it looks like the U.S. and the E.U. make up 99% of the material and finacial support for Palestine . (something close to 2 billion u.s. $ just this year alone, where did it all go) Hmm ok well maybe the evil oppressive Zionists stoped some of it from getting there, but then what happened to the additional almost 700 million u.s.$ dollars that was directly deposited into Palestinian gonvernment accounts???
    Oh but let me guess, those are all Zionist and Western conspiracies and lies, bla bla bla.
    By the way if it makes you feel any better, the "Arab Muslim" countries sometimes do contribute. Usually about .o5% of what they annually pledge. Syria says it doesnt have to because it takes care of Palestinian refugees. Which is a fair argument.

    pablito, You mean the land the Israeli's gave a time table about handing back to Palestine if they would stop attacking them. I know perfectly well what land you were talking about. There is no need to address that because the Palestinians were getting what they supposedly wanted, and then fired more rockets into Israel then they ever did before.

    Please people at least try to back up your lies and misinformation with fact.

    gjdad,
    So the "true Jews" were most successful under Arab rule..???The [1929] riots were accompanied by militant Arab slogans such as... ???Palestine is our land and the Jews our dogs...??? [and] brutal acts by Arabs...such as the killings in Hebron, where small children were tortured by their murderers before being murdered. ...the Jewish community in Palestine found itself caught up in a wave of violent disturbances that swept with a fury through Jewish settlements and neighborhoods throughout the length and breadth of the country. The danger now appeared to threaten the very survival of the entire Jewish community.???[1] Thats 19 years before Israel became a country. And they were attacked and killed because Arabs were mad at the British. Well at least the psychotic reasoning still has not change.
    And your U.N. resolutions, that one about being mad because Israel had a parade is just funny. But you need to get your numbers right. It is collectively from 1967 to today it is 429 resolutions and Israel's actions were condemned 327 times. That is nothing compared to the number of resolutions against Arab countries and terrorist organizations. Keep it coming.

    Naver: when Palestinians talk of stealing land they're not talking about the original partition of British Mandate (ie British occupied) Palestine, they are talking about the extra land stolen since. If you want to value UN resolutions then look at them all (ie 242). You are right though, Jafra's rhetoric is sad and tired - sad because it is true, and tired because however much it is repeated by people who know what is going on the people in power refuse to listen.
    Take some time away from CNN and Fox - they are poisoning your brain.

  • Posted By: gjhdad @ 01/30/2008 8:18:34 PM

    Naver,
    I feel terrible for the Palestinians in so many ways. One of them is that they have had to negotiate with Israeli's who have your same ad hominem, uneducated and cruel mentality.

    Israel is in violation of over 70 U.N. resolutions as we speak. These resolutions are of the most serious nature. The U.S. claimed to go to war with Iraq because of two trumped up UN resolutions by the U.S. So with Israel in violation of over 70 UN resolutions and many more that the US veteod but were overwhelmingly voted in favor of;it's ludicrous that you cite the the UN on Israel's behalf. Israel is the single most unlawful offender by UN standards than any other country in the world.

    It was the UN general assembly, not the security council, that voted unbindingly to allow statehood for Israel and only after US and European Jewry pressure, propaganda and violence. Each and every leader of Israel past, and present could be tried and convicted of henious yet cowardly crimes. The UN, that you state represents the world, voted and upheld that Zionism is racism and this stayed for decades until Zionist characters lobbied the US top force the resolution to change.

    As far as the UN goes, Israel is the very worst and most unlawful member and I know they rue the manner and way Israel was created and the crimes commited by the entity since.

    You can spout all the nonesense you want but it reveals that you are jealous of the Arabs. Islam is followed by 1 billion people, judaism, 15 million. The true middle eastern jews were most successful in history from Arab lands and under Arab rule and this is a known fact. Arabs don't seem to fair very well under Israeli rule.

    The Palestinians are the true people of ancient Palestine/Israel and not the Russain Khazaris and European jews

  • Posted By: delfairchild @ 01/30/2008 7:14:06 PM

    I think the Palestinian people and the Isrealites should both look to the future as partners and not at the past as enemies. By looking to the past, you will end up nowhere but dead.
