    You stupid people, Israel is our best friend. We should never turn our backs on them!! God has Bless Israel and will continue to do so, if we fail them as allies, we will suffer. Our country is in grave danger with the coming administration trying to make us a soialist nation. Remember the gov't is not your friend nor most of the news media who would perfer a dictatoship but remember in difficult times friends like Israel will always be there to help..

    The difference between Israels terrorism and islamic terrorism is that the U.S. backs Israels terrorism. There is no other difference. Enough already with the U.S. supporting Israel unconditionaly. whats wrong is wrong regardless of who perpetrates the act.

    Iis the post by "iHateUserNames", it reads "US News Organizations should be required to have their headquarters based in Israel. When the rockets come, they can give us a first hand account about how wonderful Gazans are. And lets not forget to have Aaron David Miller there too on a permanent basis. Then maybe he'll come to his senses."

    I propose that you go and live in Gaza for a while, Mr. "Hate". Why don't you live on a daily basis in the most populated area in the world. Why don't you try living in the refugee camps in Jabalya in Gaza and see what a wonderful life it is. Why don't you live were there is rocket fire constantly, FROM ISRAEL raining down on your Refugee Camp, on your home, on your family, on your children! I wonder who would change his tune then!

    As for this line, Mr. "Hate": "The bottom line: How do you negotiate with people who refuse to allow you the right to exist? The answer: You can't. The only thing Hamas and their ilk understand is death. WIPE THEM OUT. Every last man, woman and child. Then their will be peace."

    Wow! Now you know what a Terrorist sounds like first hand!

    I'm not sure why you called your self "iHateUserNames". You should just call yourself "I HATE", period!

    You're a Liberal Idiot. You talk as if the Jews are acting, NOT REACTING to the animals of HAMAS. If there is 1.5 million Gazans suffering then they should blame HAMAS. Its HAMAS that is launching rockets into Israel. Hamas is dedicated to destroying Israel. Those 1.5 million Gazans are the ones who voted HAMAS into power. Israel turned over those incredible green houses to the Palestinians and those animals destroyed them. They launch rockets from schools and hospitals like ALL COWARDS do. They teach there kids to hate and want to kill Jews. Yep the Jew and Plestinian are the same. They have both contributed to humanity equally. The saying goes "If the Arabs lay down there weapons there is Peace, if the Jews lay down there weapons there is no more Israel".

    People are really getting brain washed by these Muslims. What have they done for the world, but use the sword. They have been the same since they began centuries ago. Read their history, jihad is all they know,

      We are being Independent Thinkers...

      Not Politically Correct ...

      But Socially and Humanely Correct in our Reasoning...

      You for one, should try it sometime...

      I forgot you are Brainwashed to Support Israel, No Matter what they do.

      Its Politically Correct.

    thats crazy. If any country is attacked by another they have the right to retaliate.

    apparently believing we should back Israel is hypocrisy but I still believe we should no matter what some left wing liberalist thinks. Its you guys that have ruined this country to start with. I guess since I'm from the south I should not have an opinion that bears merit.

    First of all It's great to be in America were this issue can be debated. Got to Israel and speak with any of the thousands of Palestinians who live and work in Israel.I have.They feelso blessed to have employment, educational opporunities and to be able to worship as they please. Sounds like this democratic country, doesn't i t? War is ugly, dirty, violent and preventable. Hamas didn't have to fire rockets for 7 years but they did. Why? Because it's in their charter. Destroy Israel even if it's at the cost of becoming a martyr. The problem ist hat Hamasdoesn't want to become martyrs so they fire rockets where innocent people , women and children are located so they will become victims for the world to see. At least Hezbollah fought with dignity, not like Hamas cowards.
    If the issue for Hamas is that they want the border opened up then why don't they shoot rockets into Egypt? Gaza was once part of Egypt before 1967.They never wanted it back because they didn't want the Palestinian problem. The same goes for the West Bank and Jordan. Both arab countries that don't supply the Palestinians with water, electricity, food and fuel like Israel does. Abbas needs to grow some testicles and have his Fatah regime go into Gaza and take control. Do you see any rockets coming from the West Bank? Peace can be had just like in Egypt and Jordan once the rest of the world deals with Iran and Syria., the true culprits!

    Honestly, this article is right on..because no matter who's "right", and I don't think either side is completely, tying America's hands in negotiating peace isn't helping civilians on either side.
    Israeli kids are still getting blown up in city busses and Palestinian kids are still getting starved and shelled.
    Compared to that who gives a dang about the stupid ideologies on either side.

    And if you're about to argue that they can't EVER get past those ideologies, then Ok..nuke them all..I mean what other option is there??

    But what sense does it make if every U.S. President has to live in fear and tippy toe around the truth because Israel will get mad..isn't that just a subtler form of terrorism..emotional blackmail?

    And jewish uber-supporters of Israel really need to step back and see that the way they act is off putting to the rest of us..seriously. If you are more concerned with the fate of Israel than you are with the fate of America..you should move to Israel.

    It's been decades, and Israel is fully nuclear..so grow up Israel..do your own freakin' negotiating. We should be treating Israel just as we treat Spain, or Turkey or England..like a grown up country. We should be there to back them in case of unprovoked attack, just as we went to the aid of England and France in WWII,. And that's all.

    • Posted By: Jewess @ 01/08/2009 2:38:03 PM

      Went to the aid of during WWII? We went to war because of Pearl Harbour, not because we cared that innocent people (not just Jews were being heinously killed and tortured). Sometimes I wonder if we put evangelicals and radical islamists together- would you kill one another or would you come together to be stronger? In my eyes, you're both our enemies.

  • Posted By: Anyuta01 @ 01/08/2009 2:13:03 PM

    Why doesn't the world tell Hamas to stop hiding behind women and children and using them as human shields and to promote their agenda? So far Hamas is getting what they want, they are getting sympathy from our very own naive newscasts such as NBC with Brian Williams.

    • Posted By: Omaar @ 01/08/2009 2:37:40 PM

      Like the Israeli Apache Choppers, Tanks, Bullets and Bombs can Distinguish between Hamas and Non Hamas members...

      The Israeli's really have Smart Bombs I Guess !!

    Jews worry for a living? What kind of a racist are you? One that targets Jews withm open abandon obviously, no wonder you want Obama to be tough. Are you prepared to say that Muslims kill for a living? Get tough with Israel huh? Like have them agree to give up the Gaza strip and then there will be peace. They did. There isn't. Encourage democracy in Gaza by overseeing free elections. Yes. They elected Hamas. Hamas is a Iranian terrorist group also known in the MIddle East as "The Cult of Death." Hamas...you know those peaceful folks who target civilians on purpose...did you mention that they are TERRORISTS? Know why the other countrie in the mIddle East have been slow in responding to critism of Israel? They all fear Hamas. They all know Iran & Iranian terrorists are a HUGE threat. They would all breathe easier if Hamas was wiped out. Go Israel!!! You stupid head in the clouds commies won't be happy until Israel is demolished (won't happen) or they continue to be terrorized and take it. Yeah Israel, Newsweek says just take it!! It hasn't been scary enough for you, you haven't lost too many of your own yet. That Kindergarten was empty Israel!! So where was the outrage over the continual missle stricks deeper & deeper into Israel? Why is Journalism dead?? Why was ther little to no reporting that Hams was getting closer & closer to Israle's nuclear reactor? Uh-duh, 'cuz Hmas wants to wipe Israel off the map & won't stop until they are stopped or Israel is gone ad please don't tell on us TOO loudly An=merican media. SHHHHHH!!!!!!! Oh no! Israel won't take it anymore, the eyes of the qworld are directed at us, WAAAAAAAAA!!!! Big bad Israel is hurting us, they're trying to wipe us out..... And you like the rag that you are come running to give aid and comfort to who are ultimately our enemies as well! They have promised to kill us all next, or in tandem to. Go Israel, do whatever it takes to keep your country and your lives. Americans: think of the Middle East as your dining room table...Israel is that little salt shaker....the Arabs have all the rest. And they want that salt shaker as well. Israel must die, you've heard it for years. And this twerp who calls himself a journalist (gag) says Jews worry for a living. Your racial slur is all we need to read to see you are backward and unfair. You should not be writting for a living.

    i totally i agree with Miller...American president need to take tough steps for a peacful settlement. Only those idiots are calling the author an idiot because they have their eyes close and dont see the sufferings of Palestines done by Israel..first Isreal take over their land and now does injustice with poor Palestine people..
    WAKE UP PEOPLE..ITS NOW TIME

  • Posted By: Opinionated1 @ 01/08/2009 2:07:28 PM

    II agree that the US should be in favor of Israel's long term security issues. But Israel needs to understand you can't punch somebody and not expect them to punch you back, and when the going gets rough go and hide behind your big brother.....See there would be peace if indeed Israel would stop breaking International law, by confiscating Palestinian land and making settlements. They are throwing people off of their land and then calling it theirs....Their government and our government has turned a blind eye to this sort of practice for a long time. GAZA is one of the biggest prisons, like the article says no economic development, slummy refugee camps, you can't come and go as you please....Israel has boxed the Palestinians in and want them to be happy with that...NO!! I believe that there can be peace....but right now Israel has a public relations issue. And rightfully so, they have put on this mask of trying to live peacefully with the Palestinians, when they have taken from them unjustly. They want their land back. That's why they blow themselves to bits when the borders are open....They feel hopeless, what do you expect. And then when they fight back...oh oh there's a problem. Give them back their land, let them work and earn a living for their families. And just maybe you'll have peace, maybe they'll see Israel as trying to do something right and just for a moment and you won't have as much hostility. They want a chance to live and be happy too. We can't they just get along and live together......

  • Posted By: Sam!! @ 01/08/2009 2:36:12 PM

    If Obama should be serious about anything, it should be an unequivocal surrender by Hamas militants. Particularly after PM Abbas declared their existence illegal. Israel has a right to defend itself under UN law and Israeli national law. How it deals with the settlements is a secondary issue.

  • Posted By: southernman825 @ 01/08/2009 2:20:38 PM

    If you think things are bad in this country now.....just wait until this country doesn't back Israel. Israel is God's chosen and we mess with them then this country is in trouble.

  • Posted By: Jewess @ 01/08/2009 2:23:49 PM

    Are you kidding me? Obama should get tough with Israel? Look, Israel is surrounded by Arab countries that hate Jews. When people refuse to accept or recognize Israel as a state or country- that is where you have a problem. Palestinians refuse to accept Israel or Jews. They throw rocks they claim because they don't have proper weapons. They teach their children to be martyrs and rock throwers. Brainwashing. Europe killed most of us and as Europe is allowing Muslim immigrants to dictate anti-Israel belief- then we are not safe there either.
    I truly don't think that Israelis are walking around saying that they want to purposely kill or harm Palestinian civilians. I do think that Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist groups are threatening everyone and these "leaders" hide in civilian areas. During a three hour peace truce; Hamas continued sending rockets into Israel. Why was that not reported on as much as the suffering of the Palestinians. Jewish people deserve to have their own homeland. There is enough desert for the Palestinians who refuse to want to live in peace.
    Let's clarify something about the religion as well. Judaism is the base for monotheistic religion. Then came along Christianity and Islam. Islam believes that Abraham is the father of their religion, as he was for Judaism. We are so alike in many ways; but Jews don't state that Palestinians don't exist, nor will we put up with Holocaust denying.
    Jews were forced to leave Arab lands because these Arab countrie because radical Islamists, which apparently have no room for other religions. Israel cannot wait for the biased UN to dictate what it should do. We are the chosen people, from which mainly all today descend. If you believe that a woman is as good as furniture and your children can be innocent martyrs; then quite frankly why bother with your life at all? If we had done what Hashem asked us to when we came to our land of Canaan (which was to obliterate everyone there)- perhaps we wouldn't be dealing with this?

    I do not hate Arabs. I do not hate Palestinians. I hate the fact taht there are people terrorizing my people instead of working towards a solution. Let Americans not forget that most in Arab lands are not American friendly. The latter being due to the idea that westernization is evil. Mark ym words- I see the signs of another holocaust for Jews. W ehave been made a scapegoat again. I will not sit idly and wait for people to try and destroy us once again. It is time to decide that both groups exist and what can we do about it?

      Americans Refuse to think of Canada as a World Power, though Canada Supplies the USA with 2/3rds of it's Oil...

      Do you think Canadians could care what we think of them, they are not being Hit as Hard Economically as Us.

      Israel wants to get Rid of the Arabs as well and does not acknowledge them...

      Do you think either Country is to be omitted from their personal thoughts...

      Their Countries Officially Exist...

      Your thoughts are Borderline Bull-Spit

  • Posted By: SuperFish @ 01/08/2009 2:33:29 PM

    You're a LIBERAL Idiot. You talk as if the Jews are acting, not RE-ACTING to the animals of Hamas. If 1.5 million Gazans
    are suffering blame HAMAS, not Israel. Its HAMAS that is firing rockets into Israel. Remember it was those 1.5 million Gazans who voted HAMAS into power and its HAMAS that wants the desturction of the Jewish state. The saying goes
    "If the Arabs lay dow there weapons there is Peace, If the Jews lay down there weapons there is NO MORE ISRAEL".
