    i guess that most people think that that spot in the middle East is an Israeli property. it is not. and it as never been so. Israel and Jews are only intruders who are trying to steal the property of others, Palestenians and Arabs in general. this is absolutely unfair!! because when you complain about being disturbed by "a neighbour", then what would you do when someone come to take your house and expulse you and your family from it???
    what is the worst?? all i can say that the fake state of Israel has no historical reference and the fighting in the Middele east will never have an end simply because a great majority of people ignore what history has proved and how Israel came to being!!
    the killings in Gaza are far more damaging than the rockets of Hamas and it's becoming more frequent that when an Arab cries out or reacts to get his rights, he finds a million obstacles.... and rockets.
    p.s. the posting of my comment proves the credibility of this magazine*

    I agree with granpa5, they must come together as one country. They must accept each other and live side by side. But unfortunately i do not see this happening unless the Palestinians stand up for themselves and do things in a democratic way. I know it sounds impossible, but i believe it is the only way and the rest of the world should get off of Israels back because they have every right to protect their people, and their counrty.

    and the original land belongs to the Palasteinians and Israel is the one who is occupying it not the other way around so if someone must go out then they are the ISRAELIANS!!!!!!!!!!

    There is indeed a large amount of anti-Israel sentiment in the US.

    Israel was abiding by the peace treaty even though Hamas lobbed bombs and rockets into Israel the whole time. What is the solution to their problems? The stated goal of Hamas is to wipe Israel off the map. Hamas refuses to recognize Israel as a soverign nation. Is Israel suppose to sit there surrounded by countries who wish to destroy them and never defend itself?
    No, Israel has every right to try to put an end to the supply of bombs and rockets, and the tunnels that provide Hamas with their weapons.

    Who knows how Obama will handle this. He's notorious for taking the middle ground and not making a decision about anything. Negotiating a workable peace agreement in the Middle East has been tried, over and over again, for decades. Obama will need all the help he can get in this task..........

    The US is in the pocket of AIPAC and anti-muslim press. Obama, no matter how well meaning will not be able to end it.
    History has shown us that all things are cyclical and some day the palestians will be free. I may be a hundred years or a thousand years. All that has to happen is for the palestinians and the muslims of the world to keep the wound and the aspirations fresh.

    Why would anyone with an IQ above 60 buy into this crap from Miller,for that matter why would they buy Newsweek.I hope Isreal will stop playing nice and start really kicking some muslim butt.

    When will eveyone learn. There will not ever be peace in the Middle East until all sides learn to accept each other and quit this stupid fighting. It is also time to tell the people in Gaza to become Isreal citizens and quit dividing the country. Either accept or move out. Remember the citizens of Gaza elected the Hamas leaders so either the run them out so they can live with Isreal or expect the worse. How many of you would allow your neighbor to shoot into your house, throw rocks at your kids, etc. Same thing applies to Isreal & Gaza, no one else is willing to stop the rockets so Isreal is going to one way or the other. Quit crying about how tough Isreal is being.

  • Posted By: grandpa5 @ 01/08/2009 5:59:36 AM

    Yes it is time to get tough. Time for Isreal to eliminate seperate states within the boundry of Isreal. Tell the people of Gaza to either accept living in Isreal or get out. No if, and or buts about it. There will never be peace in the middle east until they decide to accept each other and live accordingly. Quit trying to do the impossible, each time one of our presidents thinks he has accomplished something it always comes apart. Egypt & Syria learned by being defeated each time the started a war. Wake up people.

    Why do Jewish americans continue to support the left in this country when they are getting sold down the river??? Isreal gives up Gaza and is rewarded by 3000 rocket attacks???? It's clear who does not want peace in the middle east. Hopefully Isreal will finally squash the b***ards. Wonder what would happen if Cuba were to start firing 10 missles a day at florida. Would the floridians suddenly leave the state because nObama would stand with his muslim brothers????

    does any of you really know what the hell you've talked about , more than 700 people are dead in Gaza and the numbers are increasing and more than 3000 are seriously injured and Israel just wont stop. the Gazans are defending themselves against the soldiers who are killing them,Israel is the one who started the war and started killing and the Gazans are defending themselves.or you think they should just stay syill and get killed?!!

    Obama doesn't have the least amount of experience or the lightest idea how to deal with sensitive foreign policy other than the photo fare in the Middle East and other liber.. countries. What is he going to do come decision time? Rely on advices from people like Biden? He just can't do that. The libs.. elected him president. He has to make his own decision. Right or wrong he has to stand by it. No "tiptoeing" in the middle. And he has no more Bush to blame like he normally does. Wrong decision and his liber.. voters and supporters should be blamed for electing him. I seriously doubt the liber.. media would accept responsibility for putting him in office should he mess up big time. After all, they are responsible for the "out of this world Obama obsession as if he is the second messiah." When Obama screws up, they would just cover it up by blaming the conservatives and the Republicans. They also would tell the world how great his dreams and potentials are. Nothing regarding his screw-ups and mistakes as president. This is how the liber.. media controls the world through misinformation, lies, deceit and cover-ups.

    In response to the article above...It falls somewhere between wishful thinking and self-defeating, outdated, idealism.

    Is it me or is there an unusually high amount of anti-Israel sentiment running rampant in the US? (not just Miller's article, but the US news coverage and perspective in general). It's literally every where and feeding into what terroristic groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah want-That they are the true victims in this political and military struggle.

    Israel, during this short military action has shown more compassion towards the Palestinians than Hamas has. Hundreds of thousands of Gazans received warnings in the form of telephone messages or fliers that their buildings were Israeli targets.

    What compassion torwards the people it serves has Hamas shown? Here's a news bit taken from Haaretz.com reporting on Hamas executing "suspected" Fatah members who are helping the Israeli military-
    "Estimates of the number of suspects executed range from 40 to 80, but amid the prevailing conditions shelling, fear of walking the streets and media blackouts it is virtually impossible to verify the numbers or identities of the dead.

    Executions are carried out secretly. In Rafah, for example, at least some of the victims were killed in a caravan erected in the area formerly occupied by the Rafiah Yam settlement, and the victims' relatives were invited to take away the bodies. "

    ....I sincrerely pray that our democrat and republican representatives, congressmen, and the President-elect himself understand that to make any bargining or peace making effort with Hamas or Hezbollah would undermine every effort to stop mass terrorism in the reigon AND letgetimize a group of disguisting, pathetic thugs into a political force. Plain and simple.

    Obama should spend his next 4-8 years guaranteeing Israel's survival and destroying all these illegitimate militias trying to pass off for governments. After thats done and Arab citizens from Lebanon, Palestine, Iran, and Syria all have true, strong, democtratic governments, we should talk peace.

    As with the other comments, It amazes me that people find a way to blame Israel for defending their nation. The UN/US can try a 1,001 different angles of bringing peace to the region, but the facts are you are dealing with terrorist groups that will not stop until the nation of Israel is no moret. They terrorize their own people and we some how believe they will play by the rules?? There is only one possible way to have peace in the region, Israel would have to kill every man, woman, and child. Obviously this will not happen...or atleast not yet. So get used to these skirmishes, this is just an attention getter prior to Obama taking office.

    I think it's very important to stress and make clear that the only reason Israel started those air attacks is that Hammas were launching toward civilian cities at the south of Israel! Not one or two but dozens! Every day!
    They didn't get up one sunny morning and decided to start this. Those cities at the south of Israel are sufferring from those lauches for over 2 years and through those 2 year Israel didn't respos! They just kept asking Hammas to stop! Hamas didn't stop and that brought us to were we are right now!
    I know it's easy to fall for those pictures you see at the news and papres but that is not where things started! Any country at any part of the world would not stand by while it's civilians are being attacked day after day after day! Not one! And Israel stood by long enough. It's time to bring back security to the cities of Israel! And if Hamas won't stop lanching those missiles then there's no reason for Israel to stop this operation!

    So when you see a mother bringing a child to an hospitla or a man bringing his father (and by the way doesn't look very worried) try and look past that... and trust me I know it's hard, but try and see what happened before and what really brought them to that situation.
