If Obama Is Serious

Our blind support for Israel will only continue to jeopardize our security here at home, where it really matters.

Israel an its supporters can go their and continue their endless wars if it choses to, just keep America out of it!

I hope that Obama finally puts an end to the billions of tax payer's dollars that is allocated each year for the benefit of this apartheid state.

Why don't you see the real picture of events. Hamas is starting the aggression with Israel. What is Isreal to do, Lay down and Die and not fight back and let their people die?

Hmm, juding by the commente here I see there is a lot of work ahead. There is just hate on both sides and rightly so. The funny thing is both sides are right. The Palestine's were shifted around and land taken over when Israel became a state after the War. And Israel has a point of not wanting to be bombed daily by Hamas or others. So how do we fix this as world citizens? Who's land is it? Well history tells us that for the most part it has been a tribal place with this tribe whipping this tribe and so on and so on. I don't claim to have all the answers or know everything but am a little tee'd off that a state the size of New Jersey can take so much attention in world affairs no matter who is right. But I wish both sides good health and an end to all the killing and hope someone can put an end to all this nonsense.

You folks need to get a grip on who the good guys and bad guys are here. If you were siting in your home and the missles started raining down what would you expect our country to do to stop it? 'Everything' I expect would be your answer. The bullcrap about disproportionate response sounds great when your sitting comfortably in your living room. But when your life and lives of your familiy, friends and neighbors are at stake you will demand your government do everything in its power to protect you. Palestians lost what ever rights they had to certain land when they became the aggressors (along with other Arab nations) against Israel. Israel should stop its settlements and withdraw from many, but let's put the blame where it really lies. If the Arab countries in the region wanted to help the Palestians establish a homeland and provide resources to prop them up until they were self-sufficient, they could do that. They choose not to. Why? The largest donors of humanitarian aid to the Palestinians is Israel and the US. Again, why?

Oh my goodness you are soooo right! How dare Israel try to defend themselves. I mean really, why not just little with a few bombs here and there? Right? Why not?

Snark, snark, snark and more snark.

Such a naive article. It's easy to say "get tough on the Israelis" because you know they are rational people with whom you can actually come to some agreement. It's much harder to say, get tough on Hamas, because that will inevitably involve many civilian casualties, since they hide behind civilians in schools, in homes, every where and they aren't in the least interested in any kind of a deal, They publicly state that their goal is to destroy Israel, so liten to them!!!

What a horrible view point of America and Israel. To forsake the total support of Israel would be travesty. Israel has every right to defend itself and more. If the Arab nations feel so impassioned about Palestine, they should use some of their billions of oil money to purchase them land and move them, or at least give them aid other than bombs and weapons. Do you hear Syria, Jordan, Egypt or Iran offering them aid? NO! The best policy for America would be for us to say, we support Israel 100% and whenever the Arabs want to make peace, then Israel can accept it on their terms, not on ours or the Arabs.

Get Tough with Israel!!!! You mean get tough with the Palestinians who continually throughout history break peace treaty after peace treaty with Israel because of thier hatred for the Jewish people. The Palestinians need only say that they will allow Israel to exist in peace. They need only say this tiny thing, and mean it, and there is pretty much nothing they cannot have. Yet they will not say it. And they will not mean it. For they do not want the Jews. Again and again - again and again - the Palestinians have been offered a nation state in a divided Palestine. And again and again they have turned the offer down, for it has always been more important to drive out the Jews than to have a Palestinian state. It is difficult sometimes to avoid the feeling that Hamas and Hezbollah don't want to kill Jews because they hate Israel. They hate Israel because they want to kill Jews.We as Amricans need to hold the Muslim world acountable for thier terroistic view point of world domination and the genecide of the Jewish people.

Question, should Israel be allowed to protect itself if Hamas keeps firing rockets at them?

Tough on Israel? Are you kidding me? I hope that Israel suceeds in their mission, to end the terrorist capabilities of Hamas in Gaza. Israel did not break this "cease-fire". Palestinians have fired more than 6,000 rockets and mortars into Israel since the Israeli withdrawal -- all without provocation. The rocket fire even continued during the six-months of "calm" in the Gaza area that ended last Friday. And the Palestinians never text messaged those Israeli citizens to let them know to evacuate the area, which is exactly what Israel did the evening before this opperation began. When is the world going to realize that the real problem here is the oppression and discrimination of the Palestinians by the Arabs, who refuse to accept them into any of their societies and use tham as a pawn against Israel. For the actual history of this conflict, read thia article http://www.imninalu.net/myths-pals.htm.

Oh pleeze! The Israeli's are not the problem - the intransigent and lusting for death Arab (what's a Palestinean?) TERRORISTS and MURDERERS are the problem. They have denied the existence of Jews and Israeli's since before 1948. Last year they could have been celebrating the 60th anniversary of a free and democratic Palestine (which, by the way, did not exist before '48), and instead, the majority decent populations are controlled by IRAN, HAMAS AND HEZBULLAH. Feel free to join me on a bus in Jerusalem the next time I visit - even though I am not religious, I pray as I get on it that no ARAB TERRORISTS joined me.

You know the thing is...All of us who Support Israel's actions b/c we know God's promise and know they are proctected by God, can scream our belief from the mountain tops all day long. But I think deep down we know it won't do any good. And it's not JUST B/c we are a nation with a liberal BIAS media and now also a liberal - de-moralized president elect, but I believe we can sense that there has been a plan of action set in motion by that "Higher power" we believe in. By GOD. I often wonder why more people have not noticed the things that have been prophecied are unfolding rapidly before our eyes. Yet so many insist on being ignorant to whats really going on in the world today, take a look at the big picture. Everythings thats happening ...I believe, is happening for a reason.
