    I can feel the pain suffered bu palestienians by bloodthirsty Israelians. Nothing is more painful than to be at the mercy of a coward enemy. Israelis are afraid of everything including peace. The never-ending rounds of negociations were to no avail, mainly because of Israel's stubborness. Eventually, Israelis should choose between restoring stollen terrtories to their right owners or suffer wars and instability.

    Khwarizmi (Mohammad ebne M??s?? Khw??razm?? Persian: ???????? ???? ???????? ??????????????) was a mathematician, astronomer and geographer of Arab origin. He was born around 780 in Khw??rizm[2][4][5], in contemporary Khiva, Uzbekistan, which was then part of the native Iranian-Khwarizmian Afrigid dynasty[6], and died around 850. He worked most of his life as a scholar in the House of Wisdom in Baghdad.

    His Algebra, written around 820, was the first book on the systematic solution of linear and quadratic equations. Consequently he is considered by many to be the father of algebra,[7] a title some scholars assign to Diophantus. In the twelfth century, Latin translations of his Arithmetic, which explained Arabic numerals, introduced decimal positional number system to the Western world.[5] He was among the first to use zero as a place holder in positional base notation.[8] The word algorithm derives from his name.[8] He revised and updated Ptolemy's Geography as well as writing several works on astronomy and astrology.

      typical Arab thinking. Always thinking of the past. Never can think about the future.
      Arabs living in the past whereas Jews are living in the present.

      Jews represent less than 1% of the worlds population but have won 163 of the 750 Noble Prizes.

    Hey Newsweek, why don't you do a piece on the 600,000 Israeli families who live in constant fear of rocket attacks. 4,000 rockets over 8 years.
    Convenient for everyone to hold Israel accountable but not for Hamas. You only criticize when Israel defends itself but what about Black Christians in Darfur being murdered by the Sudanese gov't. What about the terror in India, Pakistan, Iraq and Afghanistan. How about the failed states of Yemen, Lebanon, Algeria and dictatorships in Libya and Morocco . Theocracies in Iran and Saudi Arabia. Turkey's war against the Kurds and Islamic militants killing innocents in Thailand, China and the Philipines. What about the Christians in Gaza and Egypt? Notice a common theme? All of the acts of violence being committed are in the name of Islam! When was the last time you saw a Jewish person conduct a suicide bombing? or chopped someone's head off? Or killed 3,000 people by flying planes into buildings? or fired rockets at schools? or hung homosexuals or stoned women who fought for women's rights?
    The fact is is that you people know that the real perpetrators are Islam-fascists who will kill anyone who doesn't think like them. For crying out loud they would kill all of you on this talkback if you are not muslim!
    The difference between Israel and you is that in Israel a spade is called a spade not a heart. You all are just afraid to see the truth. I dare anyone of you to go to one of the places that I mentioned above and ask for human rights. lol, you will never see the light of day again. Be thankful that Israel is fighting of the bastards.

    << Fascism sees the struggle of a nation or race as requiring the utilization of violence to preserve and promote it such as through the threat and use of political violence against against political opponents or people that fascists deemed enemies of movement itself or their nation or race, as well as the threat or engagement of war against other countries to advance the interests of a nation or race >> ( Wikipedia). Unfortunately, humans are forgetting history and utilize facist policy to promote nationalities at the expense of humanity. The land of Jesus becomes the land of hatred, violence and intolerance. Learn from animals. They don't kill for nationality, religion or ideology.

    I am sorry for the children,they do not deserve to suffer like this.

      good, you should also feel sorry for Israeli children as well .If not then you are a racist.

  • Posted By: JB619 @ 12/31/2008 5:01:42 AM

    n83nbu you are an idiot. they are not fighting over land. Israel is bombing Gaza to force Hamas to stop firing rockets at Israeli children. This has been going on for over 8 years and 4,000 rockets later.
    Hey, can I come to your house and throw molotov cocktails at it? WHy not? YOu seem to be accepting of Hamas?

    It must be nice to be able to kill women and children from gunships and drones at 25,000 feet (don???t even have to look em in the eye) using cutting-edge weaponry provided by the US - while the Palestinians fight back with home-made bombs and missiles - sort of like David vs. Goliath. I know who I???m rooting for, especially since the land in dispute is historically Palestinian land.

    Certain individuals and groups have used the term "Zionism" as a pejorative to justify attacks on Jews. According to historians Walter Laqueur, Howard Sachar and Jack Fischel among others, the label "Zionist" is in some cases also used as a euphemism for Jews in general by apologists for antisemitism.

    (FROM Wikipedia)

    Notice that is exactly the usage in these posts, an excuse to justify attack on Jews. It allows some people to make the Jews not human, and because they are not human, it is OK to kill them. IT IS OK to kill them right? We kill cows, and dogs, and cats and that is OK because they are not human. And Jews are not human, they are Zionists, so it is OK to kill them.

    In any event it certainly provides an easy means of discerning sympathies.

    So those using the term Zionist are with a high degree of certainty those who believe that the Israeli child deserves to die, simply because she is Jewish. And that the terrorist killing that child is justified in killing that child, again just because she is Jewish. It is quite OK to kill Jews, just because they are Jews. And it is quite OK to kill Americans just because they support the Zionists (a vast oversimplification, but we will ignore that). And it quite OK to kill Britains just because they support Americans. And it is quite Ok to kill anyone that doesn't support those who think it is OK to kill all of the above people, just because... well, because she deserves to die just because she is Jewish.

    Who exactly are we to believe are humans here?

    Propaganda is a very effective tool. It works mainly because those who are persuaded want to believe the propaganda. The Jews were really the evil force behind the twin towers. Somehow they managed to persuade a bunch of Saudi children that martyrdom... Oh wait, they weren't really Arabs at all... they were JEWS dressed up as Arabs, yea, THAT's the ticket. And the JEWS control the media, and the political system, and... It is all patently ludicrous, but...

    They believe because they want to believe, and logic will not interfere.

    There will be no end to this, man is a rationalization machine, he can rationalize ANYTHING. And right now it is Israelis killing Palestinians and Palestinians killing Israelis. You all have your "reasons", go back to your killing. Please don't let any of us interfere. (not much chance of that)

    " two of more Jews, there are problems caused by them.":
    I gues you mean arab countries where very few Jews are trapped by your "tolerant" compatriots. You probably can add to your list Poland and Russia, because they have trouble with nobody more to blame for their demise.
    On thre contrary, all civilized countries have a lot well-reported problems with low-lofe arab emicrants, and no problems with Jews.
    As for "Al-Gebra" and other "scientific" runors - people could count and solve equations long before arabs settled.

    What has Arab 'civilization' contributed to the advancement of this world in the last 1000 years?
    __________________________

    Well stupid, let me educate you. The Arabs are the father of modern mathetics: The word algebra for instance, is correctly spelled Al-Gebra, an Arab word. The Arabs are also the father of modern architecture, astronomy, and other fields of scientific import. This at a time when your ancestors were living in caves.

    I t is Zionist idiots like you that make people wish for the day that Ahmadinejad keeps his promise to wipe the Zionists from the face of the earth. I have traveled to over countries and it never ceased to amaze me that in any country where there are two of more Jews, there are problems caused by them. In you feeble mind you are apparently the victim of your own stupidity. This is manifest from your pathetic name-calling. I pity you.

    bajan man the greeks were masters of mathematics,art ,philosopy and architecture and laid the foundations for all civilisations ever since alexander the great conquered an empire that included much of the present arab/muslim lands.the greeks influenced the romans as well which collapsed in the west but remained in the east as the byzantine empire up to and beyond the time of mohammed and provided much knowledge and technology to the later muslim caliphates.

    wait a minute,are you saying the jews did not perpetrate 9/11.wow.Actually there are people in my wifes muslim family that thought it was true and never believed bin laden admission.One of the imams that met with George Bush at a mosque after 9/11 and roundly condemmed the attack said afterwards he was refering to the jews and never belived it was muslims that commited it.

    Launching attacks from the most densely populated area on earth and screaming that civilians were hit in the retaliation is also absurd.
    ____________________________

    Prior to this vicious attack on Palestine, the Zionists had killed over 135 in so-called "target assassinations." Israel is the only so-called civilised nation on the face of the earth that uses murder as an integral component of it foreign policy. The death toll in Israel as a result of the current assault with missiles is seven. The death toll in Palestine is almost 400. This responsed is disproportionate, inhumane and cruel - remeniscent of the conduct of the Nazis.

      "the Zionists had killed over 135 in so-called "target assassinations." :
      They have much bigger list which they could easily fulfil if they did not care about civilians which your bastards used to be surrounded for protection. Once they missed opportunity to kill 20 Hamas leaders only because very few arguably "inocent" civilian hosts lived on another floor. Compare with americans who did not hesitate to demolish big buildings to kill one Saddam.

    Prior to this latest act of slaughter by the Israelis, the casualty rate of Palestinians to Israelis was around 400 to 1.

    During the failed Israeli war of aggression against Lebanon in 2006, the Israelis killed more than 1,000 people, mostly civilians, including 4 UN civilian observers.

    The Israelis constantly threaten and attack their neighbors, hide behind human shields, indiscriminately kill civilians, and unendingly blame the victims of their crimes, yet all we seem to hear about are the relatively minor casualties that Israelis experience when their victims retaliate.

    Israel appears to be destined for the sewer of history. They are seen with contempt and disgust by the majority of people of the planet, they have exhausted any lingering and disproportionate sympathy that they enjoyed for what happened to them during WWII, and they have just about bled their US host dry.

    Good riddance.

      Switch "Israel" to "arabs" except casuality figures - you will be right.
