    Captain Krunch just doesn't get it. We've been held hostage by the Jewish state and state of mind long enough. I think Americans are getting tired of the guilt card (holocaust) which we were not responsible for, as well as the naked theft of the bailout funds by entities like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley where naked capitalistic greed has collapsed the US economy, and the perpetrators have the brass balls to steal the bailout funds from the gutless, bought and paid for congressmen who should be representing the people whose money was stolen rather than the people who stole it.
    there is a fundamental differencde between being an ally and being the dupe of a moneyed group of handlers. Maybe if we back off and let Isreal swim in its own soup instead of acting like a super power by proxy we might get to a position of balance and fairness in the middle east, and maybe even here at home. And PS, it will be a cold day before one dime of taxpayer money goes to bail out the super rich who were Madoff''s target. May you get a little taste of the rip off you perpetrated on the rest of us with the fat cat bailout

    I was reading the comments below and i have to disagree with ctk6255. God, if you believe in that sort of thing has nothing to do with this. If this God knows the future then he must have known that this present conflict was coming and choose to do nothing to stop it. The Isrealis have everyright to defend themselves. All the media reoprts are on how the Isrealis are damaging Gaza and killing civilians but we did not hear about the daily bombing of Isreal for 40 days during a cease fire by Hamas aid at schools and other public buildings. at least the Isrealis are trying to target the terrorist and not just shooting missles into cites trying to kill and damage anything they can. Lets remember that the people of Gaza elected the hamas leadership and by doing so they ELECTED to continue the bombing of Isreal and they ELECTED to support a government that believes that Isreal should be destroyed. By doing so they also elected to be there in Gaza when Isreal decided to defend itself after 40 days of missle attacks. The citizans of Gaza who did not want to be a part of a Hamas run government could have and should have moved to the West Bank.

    We need to support Israel and back them up when ever they need the support.

    JEWS WORRY FOR A LIVING, BUT THAT DOES NOT GIVE THEM THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE TO STOP THE LIVING OF THE ARABS . FOR YEARS, THEY CONTINUED TO STEAL LAND, AND WHEN THE PALESTINIANS FIGHT BACK ISRAEL BECOMES OUTRAGED, AND THE US SENDS WEAPONS TO KILL. THE JEWS NOW HAVE BECOME GREEDY, AND DEMANDS THE LAND FROM SYRIA, TO IRAN. IF NOT FOR THEIR GREED AND THE WANT TO KILL ARABS WHO STAND IN THE WAY, HUMAS WOULD NOT BE THEIR. PEACE TO ISRAEL, MEANS THE SAME TO BUSH. ELIMINATE THE ARABS. LIKE HITLER TRIED TO DO TO THE JEWS. WE SHALL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE HOLOCAUST, THE BUSH IRAQ WAR, AND ISRAELIS MASSACRE IN GAZA.

    This guys is obviously on the side of radical Islamists, who failed to shed the plight of frighened Israelis. Rather than voicing against Israel, perhaps he should travel to Israel, and see how Israelis lived in fear daily from the radical Hamas, Hezbollah, and other radical Islamic terrorists in that region. America and the rest of free world should wake up and aid Israel from the evil Palestinians who only sought the destruction of Israel, Judaism and Christianity.

    You know what ? England should have put the jewish people in the Falkland Islands where they wouldnt cause trouble.....
    Yeah go ahead - start screaming... but hey they might have been happy there !! The jews in palestine and the christians in palestine did live in peace during the time of the Ottoman Empire. However maybe the whole thing was a plot to destabilise the region on a long term basis ....just maybe....
    Nobody wanted the jews before or after the holocaust? why is that? would the people in the falklands have fought for their land after the jewish people had taken it from them? or would they fight for their homes?
    If the holy land is meant to be an international zone for religious activity as it was supposedly intended then why the apartheid? Why doesnt the US or UN develop a strategy based on that? Maybe nobody should have citenzenship in Israel/Palestine - let it be a real Holy Land where it is Governed by the UN and its occupants are there for religious purposes and not ownership.

    When I think the Hamas want Israel to kill these innocent people. That is their tactics. By killing the innocent people by Israel they know that the whole world will support them and start hating Israel. Look what happend in Mumbai India, the militants from Pakistan came and killed so many innocent people in India, they want India go war with Pakistan and kill so many innocents in Pakistan so that other countries will start hating India. But the brave politicians in India did not go for the war but were trying to deal with the situation diplomaticaly with Pakistan.

    Here also Israel should not go and kill the innocent people. It is not the ordinary people who attacks them but the militants. They should have used some other methods to take over the militants (more diplomatically)

    I do not condone the rocket attacks. I also do not condone killing a Hamas leader in his home along with his wives and children. Israel used U.S. built weaponry (fighter jets) to accomplish this, but the treaty that provided these jets says they are for defensive puposes only. Taking out the rocket launchers is defense, attacks on homes, mosques, hospitals, etc. is not. The Bush administration is spineless in enforcing a treaty with a country that has been a regional agressor since 1950.

    Miller is just another coward willing to sell Israel out when the going gets a little tough. Let us hope that before it has to be at odds with a cowardly Obama administration, Israel will nuke Hamas and Iran, an action which the U.S. should be encouraging and supporting right now!

    When ALLOWED to live in someone else's country, be on your best behavior, or prepared to be asked (or made) to leave!

    If Obama gets tough with Israel, it'll be perceived as weakness and taking sides with the Palestinians and will literally rape the relationship it has taken decades for the US to develop. We don't need to falter at this critical time in repairing our international image of strength in backing our allies.

      Borderline Bull Spit...

      Only by a certain Demographic, but for the Most part...

      They will not look at as though Obama is Bowing Down, but standing up to Heinous Acts instead.

    I think everyone is missing the point. Look at the big picture. Ok, Israel hasn't been occupying Gaza in the past few months, but it has made the lives of its people (and im talking largely about the civilians here) a living hell. They have had no electricity, no gas, banks were closed, people were out of work, the airport was closed, food and water were scarce, and to top it off Israeli troops have been going in and out of it as it pleases. Now tell me, is this a life? Do u except anyone to stay silent under that oppression?? Of course anyone in their right mind is going to retaliate and yet everyone insists on turning this into an "act of terror". When a few missiles (which are not even close to being the quality that Israel possesses) hit southern israel (which by the way hit NOTHING), this gives the right for israel to defend itself by raiding bombs on the most heavily densed area in the world, not giving a thought to where its hitting or who? NO. People are not dying. They are suffering. They dont know when a new bomb will hit, or who it will hit. And by the way 2/3 of the people dying are women, children and elderly. Yesterday, a UN school was hit. Ambulances are being targeted. Hospitals, mosques, medical drug stores. Wake up everyone, and see that this is not an act to eradicate HAMAS, this is a monstrous attack with the motive of eradicating palestinians. I think that israel has proven its inhumane and evil character and the people of the world should know that enough is enough. This massacre should come to an end. Simply because this is not the first time israel has pulled something like this, and i assure you at this rate it won't be the last. Don't hear the Israeli side on this only, be objective and listen to both sides. Any decision to back israel and leave to do whatever it pleases will lead to a genocide. This should be stopped now, and if it means for America to get "tough" with israel and work hard for a solution than so be it. Stop making excuses and prevent this genocide.

    If he's smart he will donate fifty Nuclear Bombs to Iran and let them do their thing. Get rid of these Greedy, Hook-Nosed Parasites once and for all.

    Wipe the Palestinans off the planet then and only then will Israel have peace. GO ZIONISTS GO ISRAEL

    I do not condone Hamas rocket attacks. Israel has the ability to make precise hits on the rocket launchers but isn't doing a very good job. Further, they have a treaty with us that says they will not use U.S. made weaponry for anything but defensive purposes. Airstrikes against houses of Hamas leaders (w/ U.S. built fighters) doesn't look defensive to me, but we are not enforcing our treaty. Israel has been an aggresor in the region since 1950. We give them way too much support.

    God will deal with Jew as he does Gentile; according to His Word. All of the world's (and the media's) praise or criticism will not sway Him in the least. I pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and that the Jews have thier God given, God promised borders completely restored unto them. Quit your terrorist activities or be prepared to be dealt with.

    CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL THIS "SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP" WITH ISRAEL IS OR BASED ON? This so called "special relationship" has been the core of the worlds problems in this region - it even topples the UN credibility and ability to act on behalf of anyone other than Israel. This causes unbelievable anger toward the US and it's lopsided foreign policy.
    If this continues there will be no end to this colossal mess.

    StorminMike's comments, though articulated forcefully, tell exactly one side of a story that also includes decades of an internal policy referred to by the Israeli's themselves as the "Iron Fist." For all of the horribles visited on Israel by its neighbors, there can be no question that its treatment of the Palestinians for the last several decades has been atrocious. And, while the lobbing of 1000s (not "1000's") of rockets paints a powerful picture and raises a valid point, it disregards the fundamental math in human lives: under 10 for Israel, over 400 for the Palestinians, at least dozens, if not hundreds of which are impoverished civilians. If Rodney King resists arrest, he must be overpowered, not beaten within inches of his life. The same principle is to be applied, and in the absence of such reasonable restraints on the exercise of fatal force, Israel cannot legitimately claim the moral high ground. Finally, there seems to be, implicit in the suggestion that "Palestinian" is a Roman word to describe the Jews of 135 AD, an inference to be drawn that the Palestinians of today are not entitled to their own country. I would recall that modern Israel was created out of whole cloth within the last century. Certainly the folks that were already there are entitled to self-governance on a piece of dirt to call their own.
