    Americans must face the fact the the US created a place name Israel on the land of the Palestinians; then they imported so call Jews from all over and in some instances even paid them to move on to this really stolen property, now they have a resistance in the south from Hamas and the from the north by Hizbollah. They days of colonization is over; see the US tried to do it with Iraq and it backfired big time. The only real solution to this issue is a one state with fair and free election that will allow everyone to vote for elected officials including Hamas and Fatah and they live hapiily ever after. No more divide and conquer fro untiy is strength and Obama proved that with the election of 2008. The US must let go of the Israeli carrot and accept the middle eastern for who they really are and not what the US wants them to be. The jews are in fact the minority in this land (the bloody land) like the anglo population is in the US.

    Peace/Salam

    Get a clue, God said kill them all and the isrealites left some alive. Now they are the problem. The rag heads.... If you threaten my life and my kids I will kill you before you kill me and mine. It is not a sin it is what is right. Stop fin with isreal and they won't have to kill you. If mexico bombed us what would we do. BOOM! and we would be right. Where do people get off thinking that war is Bushes fault. THEY KILL US, THEY WANT TO KILL US, SO SHOULD WE SAY PLEASE LETS TALK. IT DOES NOT WORK WITH THESE ANIMALS AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE EAST HATE US AND THE JEWS!!!! It is not just a few of them there are over 300 million radical muslims that want the chaos of killing to be more and more until muhhammad comes back. It is their desire to have war. We should finish this with a few tac nucs and be done with it.... They will never stop!!! Germany would not have either but we ENDED it. Japan did not stop but we ENDED it. It will never STOP UNTIL THEY ARE MOSTLY DEAD AND THE NEW BREED DOES NOT GET TAUGHT BY THE CRAZY FANATICS THAT ARE STILL THERE INSTILLING THE HATE AND LIE OF VIRGINS FOR MARTARS..... Killing is sometimes the only way. Bush is a good man, maybe dumb, but I would rather have a man that a mouse when the rats are coming.... They are a plague that won't ever stop so WAKE UP!!!! You are not a christian because you think killing is wrong. You are a fool if you think that most arabs would not hate and kill us given the chance... Wrong!! Wrong!!! WRONG!!!!! ;THEYHATEUSANDTHATISTHAT.... Y

    There's a reason they call that place the "holy" land. With all the rockets exploding, it's bound to be full of holes. This is a simple observation, but it sums up the theme since day one. - J. Mullins

    Wasted money! Israel can help themselves. Its not our business to supply them anymore. For that matter, we are in 130 countries for what? We are overextended and cannot continue. We are not imperialist. We are a republic. Read the Constitution.

    Obama doesn`t need to get tough on Isreal, he needs to stand behind them and press harder on the Hamas and Hesabella(Lebenon). The Isreali are fed up with how the rest of the Arab world feel about them and are trying to put an end to terrorism. They can`t help the others caught in the crossfire especially when those cowards use the innocent as shields. If they back off because of that they have accomplished nothing. The Hamas and other erratic arab groups need to be treated for what they are< CRIMINALS, and punished!!!!!!!!!. If you have a wheat field infested with weeds that have overthrown the crop, it`s better to burn the whole field so that the others fields don`t choke or become corrupt. With that said, we need to let Isreal continue until the corruption is distoryed completely. Then you will have peace!!!!!!

    And people think isreal is still God's chosen people. God would never back what Isreal is doing militarily.

      Wrong. You might want to read it before you comment. The God of the Bible is a God of war.

    If Obama turns his back on Israel I could only hope that the Jewish voters in this country will come to their senses and join the conservative movement. In my opinion Israel has every right to defend itself against those whose only mission is the eradication of Jews.

    Okay, this article and its writer is showing their ignorance on the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Mr. Miller, here is a question for you: What would you do if you were in Israels situation where someone keeps on firing rockets to your territory killing the people despite of the negotiations for peace and each negotiations wouldn't your tolerance run out?
    Duh! Wars will always have casualties. That is the reality. Mr. Millers, seems like you don't understand how reality works and things about wars. In the REAL world wars always kills innocent lives and civilians. Can someone please wake Mr. Miller up from his utopia?

    The Israel - arab issue is a sibling rivalry thousands of years old (daddy liked Isaac more than Ishmael). You're an idiot if you think Obama can change that. Israel has done nothing but defend the land given to them by God himself. I wish I could say the same for you bed wetting liberals. This country could take a few lessons in patriotism from Israel. Israel should not be expected to tolerate anything and everything done to them by these terrorists simply because they ar a jewish state. I believe that's what you liberals call "hate crime" here in the good ole USA.

    Oh and as I am aware that no doubt my ealier comment will prompt hysterical squeals of the anti-Israeli and anti-semitic feeling this article is producing. Just to say that NO, it is producing a much needed debate and further more I'm engaged to an Israeli Jew...So no I am not anti Israel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Anyone who is objective, understands the following...the U.S. has blindly backed Israel for 60 years. Although only about 2% of Americans are Jewish, APAC has more to do with setting American policy than almost any other group does. Israel has been punishing the Paelestinians for years by keeping them hostage in their own small strip of land. Limited supplies, limited travel, settlers, occupation,,,come on now. There WAS NO ISRAELI STATE 100 years ago...why shouldn't the Palestinians feel betrayed...they were forced to leave their land after hundreds of years. What right does Israel have to punish, terrorize, kill, injure, and traumatize 1.5 million people in Gaza? That is EXACTLY what is happening now. I am neither Jewish, nor Palestinian...but I have served over 25 years military intelligence and I have witnessed first hand the inexcusable conduct of the Israeli's. If you visit Israel, you will find that a fair portion of their own citizens deplore their governments conduct. It is time for America to regain its legitimacty by treating both Israel and Palestine fairly. Certainly the Palestinians must accept half of the blame, but the U.S. has to stop blindly backing Israel because of Jewish wealth, power, and APAC muscle. If President Obama can do it, both Palestinians and Israelis will benefit in the long run...not to mention restoring America's image as a fair mediator and friend to all people. Can the entire globe be wrong in its almost exclusive protesting against Israel? Why is it only Jews seem to be protesting to support Israel? Anyone with any true objective insight understands why. May God bless both sides in thos conflict and may the murder of ALL innocents cease forever.

      Why does everyone forget that the Jews are the oldest tribe of people on Earth. They occupied those lands thousands of years before the Muslim faith even came into existence. It was the Jews who were removed from Israel, punished, terrorized and exiled. Oddly, a book called the Bible had prophesied the Jews would be the most persecuted tribe on the Earth. You people are doing nothing but fulfilling prophecies.

    I remember a tine in the early 60's when the United States almost went to war because Cuba had installed Missles. What do you think the United States would do if someone actually fired a missle, or even a rocket, into florida day after day. Isreal should have a right to protect themselves just as we would do. The people in Gaza did nothing to stop this so now Isreal has to.

  • Posted By: Moontan @ 01/08/2009 7:54:22 PM

    I've read a few comments from people about how they would feel if some came in and moved them off thier land.
    We shouldn't be too quick to point the finger at Israel when in fact the US has done for years.
    What the heck is he talking about.
    The US native americans. We did exactly what Israel did to the Palistinians. Only they call it "Gaza Strip" & "The West Bank". We here in the US call them Reservations. Should the Native Americans rise up and create Terrorism?
    Just a thought, I could be wrong.

    Look at it this way if Mexico was lobing mortars, rockets into Texas and California on a regular basis we would do what?? I assure you people would demand more than what Isreal gives the rag headed fanatics over there! WE the US are the only real people that hold back the "Jews" over there from taking care of business the way they would if we took a total hands off position. So in essance get off the Americans asses on this and lets not forget there is not much other than total destruction of all the jews that will stop the Muslim radicals, there are more anti jewish muslims than they say too. So when you think about it maybe the only way that isreal can live in peace is to say stop once and for all or we will stop it the only way that will be permanant meaning BOOM!! Or why not just go poke a Polar bear in the eye with a sharp stick? think he will try and talk you out of doing it again???! Bet he won't say a word and just take care of business....

    What a hack Miller is! Isreal needs to go in and finish the job this time, otherwise it will be worse in the future. The world hates Jews and will never see the evil that lives in the Middle East... so they have to take care of themselves. God help them if Obama turns his back on them!

    Hallelujah!! Finally a sensible and unbiased article on the Israeli / Palestinian conflict. Having read some of the other responses however I'm astounded by such ignorant rantings --- I suggest these commentators digest a simple point. Hammas DO NOT equal Palestinians. The Palestinians are mothers and fathers just like the rest of us who want a peaceful homeland for their children that is not subject to expansionist excursions by Israel. There are a minority of extremests who terrorise the Israeli public yet all Palestinians are forced to endure an apatheid, and daily humiliation as they try to get on with daily life and are then somehow blamed when they have the 'audacity' to resist. It is convenient to dehumanise the Palestinians and to brush their terrible plight under the carpet as an inconvenient truth. The sooner the US get tough the sooner we can all enjoy a more peaceful world.

    This comment is a reply to both postings from distantsmoke and kingt82. In a way you both brought up good points. However, I don't agree with the fact you said arab/muslims want to kill the jews. I am arab and muslim and I don't believe anyone has the right to denounce israel or any other country or entity. God giveth and God taketh. We need to understand that ALL religions teach peace but political agendas don't. At the end of the day both parties involved in a conflict lose, some more than others. There are victims either way you look at it. I have faith in our president elect to bring people together and find ways to reason with all parties that there should be a solution to the conflict. Till then please put the hatred, the anger, the despair, the pessimism aside and help spread the good when we can.
