If Obama Is Serious

Ok, so you people are making no sense. I see people saying that God supports Israel; no He doesn't, they gave up his support when they rejected Jesus Christ.

Second, I don't know what it is, but Westerners just hate Muslims, it probably has something to do with the Crusades. If you look at it honestly, the Palestinians were in control of that little strip of land for nearly 1500 years... and then the Jews think they have a right to it? No, not in any sense. That's like Italy trying to take over the Med nd Europe, claiming that it was the Romans and they are entitled to it.

I can't see how the Jews can come out of Nazi concentration camps, only to go to Palestine and put the native people in concentration camps! (Gaza, West Strip)

I"m a white, God-fearing American, not an Arab, so don't go off on me like I am. I just have looked at the situation with an unbiased eye, found this out, and am now anti-Israel.

Israel and Jewish people around the world are always viewed in a negative manner. I heard on the news today about anti Israel demonstrators wanting to kill the Jewish people the way Hitler did. Israel is in constant danger and terrorists groups such as the Hamas are firing rockets at them on a daily basis; shouldn't Israel be able to protect themselves? The Hamas then occupies schools and other civilian locations and fires rockets. This reminds me of tactics Iraq used. Ground troops actually lessens collateral damages, the troops are able to specifically target locations without additional bombing. I'm in support of the Iraq war; however, didn't Iraq use these same tactics which led to the United States implementing an air and ground attack? Israel has every right to protect themselves with all means possible. Living in the United States, we are always on alert for terrorist activity. Try living in Israel where there is terrorist activity on a daily basis and also knowing that anyday a rocket or bomb may be heading your way. Marc L

Have you ever heard of the Holocaust?!!!!!! Where in the world did you get your education. No one, not one country wanted the Jews before, during and after the Holocaust. Maybe you feel that Israeli civilians -women & children, should allow themselves to killed by rockets. Where were you as a journalist when rockets were being fired into Israel for at least a week before Israel started to defend themselves. Interesting, that never made the front page of any newspaper or any breaking news report. I would like to know what your plan is, as a Jew, if history repeats itself. I sure hope you don't look to Israel to let you in, as the Holocaust survivors did in their effort of regaining hope after their lives were shattered. You should be ashamed of yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Daughter of Holocaust Survivor

You reporters want to blame everything on Israel. The whole problem over there is their fault. Let me ask you would it be our fault if Mexico decided that they wanted New Mexico and California back that we took it unfairly so every day they start sending rockets into those states. Just how long would it be before the people of the U S started screaming for us to go into Mexico? Yet when Israel has had enough you side with Hamas and Hizbullah. The Palestinians have brought the land invations on theirselves.They voted Hamas in knowing their policy was to destory Israel. They let them put wepons in their homes and schools without saying a word. You people and I???m talking about Europe also fail to repot these facts and only report the schools and the poor Palestinians being killed. Well you better hope the US never stops supporting Israel because once they quit fighting over their they???ll be after the reast of the world. They will be satisifed with nothing less then taking over the world at any cost. As long as they beleve the fulish idea that tey will become marters and get 70 vergins when they get to paradice they will not fear death as we do. Wake up and smell the roses buddy they???re after you and you better change your views and hope Obama doesn???t stop supporting Israel. We need them for an allie over their. Better the fight there then here

How can there be peace when the Palestinians train their childeren to hate the Israelis from birth,to kill them and if they die in the prosses it is ok.Untill they start to respect thier own lives there can be no peace!

It seems to me that all the troubles are caused by Israel (that is bulls--t) If hamas would stop buying weapons and use the monies to feed their people there would be a whole lot less problems in that region.. If the Jews are to leave - where do they go???? I think the "American" People need to leave the USA. We took the land from the Mexicans and The Native Americans (Indians). We should all then go back to the countries from which we came.!!!!!!!!!

Forget the 10-to-1 kill ratio. Let's look at the context: 1) the rockets; their context? the siege of Gaza: for 4 years the Israelis have been bombing and starving the 1.4 people in the giant prison camp that is Gaza. 2) "but wait, didn't these people elect Hamas, which wants to destroy Israel?" - Yes, but in what context was that? Haven't the Israelis but voting into power for 60 years parties, left and right, which not only advocate the destruction of the Palestinians as a people, but have in fact carried it out without reprieve? As Labor, Likud ans Kadima are all Zionist parites, isn't the wiping of Palestine off the face of the map their reason for existence? 3) "yes, but what about the context of the Holocaust? didn't the Jews need a homeland?" - Sure, but why at the expense of the Palestinians? They didn't commit the Holocaust!" 4) "But wasn't it the Arabs who refused the original partition plan?" - Yes, this is a plan that would have given to the Jewish newcomers 3 times the land they had already taken, bought or stolen. OF COURSE the Arabs rejected it, there's no people on earth who wouldn't have! And in the resulting war the Israelis took TWICE even that land, leaving the rightful owners with only 22% of the land they had inhabited for 2,000 years.

The only way Israel will ever have peace is to make friends with their neighbors, whatever it takes- giving back land, helping the Palestines to rebuild their homes, businesses and infrastructure, and developing trade. That way both sides win.
