If Obama Is Serious

Peace??? This reminds of that Coors Light commercial with Dick Vermeil...Playoffs??? Playoffs??? Who is talking about playoffs??? Peace??? Peace with Hamas??? Uh, I think that their main goal in life is the complete annihilation of Isreal...Or am I wrong???

Aaron David Miller | NEWSWEEK and the rest of those with the same Utopian belief in how wars are fought is the reason the free world will never win another war again ever!!

Hamss has vowed to destroy Isreal for religioius reasons. Hamas's Islamic interpretation claims Jews tried to kill gthe messiah and therefore it is their Islamic duty to destroy Isreal and all Jews. So unless someone or something can change Hamas's religious interpretation, I don't see how any cease fire or agreement would be permanent. If only they could agree to disagree on religious fundamentals, and respect each other's differences.

WOW, I SIT HERE AND READ ALL THESE COMMENTS POSTED, I really have to say something, first of all ,I am not for either side,just the right side, if i lived in tennessee and geogia was sending missles over my house i would want it destoyed, However if georgia was keeping me and my family in a concentration camp with no rights as a citizen, no way of being able to feed oo educate my children, If every move myself or family member was under deep scrutny, that i have no right as a citizen or a human being, if they treated everyone as the nazis treated the jews, and the rest of the world was not comming to our aid as a nation, then the only thing that is left would be for me and my family to do everything in my power to gain our freedom, we speak of terrorists, have we forgot how the jews, claimed palestine from great britian when it was the contrilling power, they didnt do it thru diplomacy, they were known as terrorists in the eyes of great britian, they bombed enough hotels back then , check your history,all i can say is let us be christians, and lead the way christ showed us how love all not some, i even heard people say that muslims dont believe in christ, ha ha ha, again read and learn, it is the jews that gave up christ , not the muslims, at least they recodnize that christ was a great profit, the jews dont even recodnize him at all, let us stop killing in the name of god, and start loving in the name of god, let us recodnize that all people are equall, not anything else, isreal has every right to exist, so do the palestinian people, so do black, chinese, every body has a right , its time we make isreal accontable for its actions, as we did germany, let us not turn our back on humans,

Excellent column, Mr. Miller. You couldn't be more correct. It's surprising to hear such an attitude within an American nation beholden to Israeli and American Jewish community interests.

I've never understood the moral high ground Israelis or the American Jewish community adopt when stating their belief in Israel's moral legitimacy in the current conflict. Historians will tell you the history of Israel and the Jewish people has been one of ethnically cleansing the Middle East lands they've entered of inhabitants and it's my educated opinion most of America's Middle East problems are due to America's morally-dubious position of backing Israel in its subjugation of the Palestinian people.

Sure, Israel has a right to exist, as does a Palestinian state, but imagine if millions of Mexicans had illegally immigrated into Texas during the mid-40's, fought and won a war of terrorism against the indigenous Texans and deported or forced 4 million of them to flee onto refugee camps in neighboring states - then you can comprehend what Israel has done to the Palestians and why organizations such as Hamas are resisting. I'd resist, too, had my family been killed, evicted and forced from my home while the internationally community stood by ad did not act. This is ethic cleansing pure and simple.

By backing Israel in its crimes, America has taken the moral 'low road' in this matter and undermined its moral legitmacy on the world stage - hence the moral outrage against America in Arab nations globally. America should not continue to favor Israel in this conflict. America must finally do the 'right thing' for American foreign policy and that means setting aside America's powerful Jewish lobby which has the United States not acting in its own best interest. America should support the return of evicted Palestianians to their lands, economically and politically forcing Israel into a viable Two-State Solution to resolve this conflict. Both states must be sovereign, economically and militarily viable and treated equally before international law. Otherwise, we simply persist in a situation whereby America restrains the Palestinian people while Israel sucker-punches them - the global community apathetically shaking its head in disgust.

I would like my political leaders to pursue American interests and not those of Israel or any other nation with large communities living in America. Imagine an America in which America's German, Irish or Mexican communities drove foreign policy on behalf of ancestral homelands. Ridiculous. But, it's exactly what's happening in Washington by America's Jewish Community. Wrong is wrong.


Today's Palestianian and Arab 'terrorist organizations' are simply unconventional resistance to Israel, unable to fight it directly in its conflict owing Israel's backing

It always seems that everyone wants to point to Isreal for their acts of aggression when if you look back over the years/centuries that they are not the aggesor. When will people understand that they are just defending their rights that nobody wants them to defend. If you will look in the Bible (am I allowed to write that word) that war has been and will always be in Gaza area.

Typical liberal bias against Israel. Hypocritical double standard at play here--par for the course for the liberal scum in the medial Israel has every right to defend itself. Hamas can make the fighting stop immediately by agreeing to stop unilateral unprovoked missile strikes, but it will not. Hamas has no interest in peace; never did, never will. Where was Newseek when Irael was being shelled by thousands of missiles? I guess pro-Western democracies do not merit our concern as much as the subhuman savages in Hamas do.

This is about the most worthless article that was ever written. Our ties with Isreal should be one sided. Why does an American President want to side with muslum terrorists?????Maybe we should think about who we want as a president before we vote NEXT TIME! Stupid!

All I can say is that if Hilter was alive today and he had his full Nazi army in tow and came up against Isreal. Hitler and his evil 3rrd Reign would be smoldering corspes rotting in the hot desert sun. You cannot defeat Isreal, it's better to seek thier peace or else you will be toast.

I like your article and I'm supporting for what you said. But my concern is how can Obama control power of lobby AIPAC? AIPAC influence all the media, represantives and even Churches. Can you explain how can Obama overcome lobby of AIPAC.

The author talks about Israel causing disproportion stress on the Palistinians. Does he think that living under the threat of dailly rocket bombardment is not stressful? All Hamas has to do is to stop sending rockets indiscriminately into Israel, agree to international monitoring, recognize Israel's right to exist, stop using schools, hospitals, and mosques to hide and launch weapons, then they wlll have peace and economic development.
The author mentions the settlements as an obstacle to peace. When Israel left Gaza, three years ago,they dismantled the settlements there. This did not result in peace or recognition of Israel.
During the second World War,the RAF killed more Germans by firebombing German cities than were killed by the atomic bomb at Hiroshima. This was far out of proportion to the number of Brits killed by German rockets. There was no outcry about the number of civilians killed then. Why is it that Jews and Israel must have this double standard?
Even though we have "smart bombs" today, they still can't distiguish a terrorist from a civilian at 10,000 feet.

Occupation is the problem

to tropicalwaters
Nobody talks about the real problem which is OCCUPATION.

Where is Hilter when you need him

Where's Hilter When you need him!!!!!
