If Obama Is Serious

As much as I have supported Israel, I am detested by the violence Israel is wreaking on Gaza last week, now, and next week (and sometimes in the past). America has for 60 years made sure Israel is the mightiest military power in their region, so they ought to BEHAVE like it and not like cruel bullies.
When you have nuclear weapons... weapons which you stole from America, which continues to give you a trillion dollars a year six decades later IF you believe the American government, which for at least the past eight years nobody does.
Anyway, when you have nuclear weapons, and nobody in your region does, or will (despite what you say) then you OUGHT to restrain yourself from using tanks and fighter jets to shoot bombs into a town of 8 million the size of Peoria, only to claim you are making "TARGETED STRIKES".
Maybe somebody should give that some thought before bombing babies and women. It's very upsetting to the people who pay for the bombs, missiles, tanks and jets.

obama will sell out Israel just as he stated in his book "If the winds of war changes, i will stand with my muslum brothers just as my father did" and i still wonder who voted a terrorest group into power in gaza a few years back? was it not Palestinians who cast the votes to put the terrorests in control ? but then again i am still trying to figure out who voted for obama

I see The United States of America becomming a puppet regime for Tehran under this guy you call obama his book states "if the winds of war changes, I will stand with my muslum brothers as my father did" so now rad all about how The United States will sell out Israel and the poor Palestinians start a fight with junk weapons that kill innocent Jews and when the Jews fight back with top of the line American Know How thety are killing thepoor Palestinians and these poor people live in fear ......Oh wait a minute who voted in a terrorest group called Hamas in the first place mmmm was it not those poor Palestinians

Ray in the 1930s the World was doing exactly the same with Hitler. Pacify him and he will be happy. Seems History repeats itself and we are not even 60 years later. Sad really.

One more Item:

8000 Israelis left Gaza after having build it into a flourishing area. The Muslims told the Israelis that the Land of Gaza was cursed. Nothing grows in Gaza they said. The Israelis entered and made it into a blooming, flourishing center. Jealous of the accomplishments the trouble with Muslims began that was put to an end by Ariel Sharon who ordered the Israelis to move out of Gaza.

Gaza was hand over to the 'Palestinians" totally free.
What has Hamas done with the Finanicial Contributions of the EU and the USA since 2005? Certainly it was not used for Nation Building.

Hamas asked for it. Israel is giving it.

Some folks truly need to get their info updated instead of producing dumb stupid Islamic propaganda rubbish.

@tonypate...spoken like a true Ignoramus. You have no clue what is really going on do you?

Your First Item on the list of your homework is Google Hamas Covenant.
Your Second Item: READ DA HAMAS COVENANT. Slowly and carefully.
Your Third Item: Re-Read the Hamas Covenant and everywhere you see the word Israel replace it with the names of all countries that do not have an Islamic government.

Then you may begin to have an idea what on earth is really going on.

Before 1967 There wasn't any 'Palestinian" problem. The Palestinian problem was created because Israel was placed on the Map. The Palestinian problem is an artificial problem: Arafat, an Egyptian National, related to Hajj Amin Al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem arrived in Iraq in 1939 and was among the leader of the pro Nazi revolt in May 1941. He produced an Islamic Army he sent to the Balkans to commit genocide on the local population. Israel disappears and the 'Palestinian' Problem just moves to another area.

What happens in Israel is awaiting all countries who do not submit to Islamic Culture. Israel has made it very clear to want to be its own, having its own culture. THIS has triggered "Palestinian" rebel gangs from all over the Islamic world. There were 600 000 Islamic Palestinians in 1967. Today we see 3.2 million. Muslim women do not reproduce this fast that can account for 3.2 million. There is no Israeli Genocide, there is only Islamic growing gangs with origins in all Islamic Countries where Poverty, Illiteracy and Unemployment dominates daily life.

Do update your knowledge instead of posting rubbish.

People in normal circles have been discussing for months how the perception of a pacifist American administration would actually lead to more violence.

Iran would feel free from the threat of a hawkish American president and thus be more aggressive in the deployment of their proxies i.e. Hamas, et al. Israel seeing all of the same signs would likewise react, their own politics moving to the Right to offset the Leftist stance of the American president.

And now the media is moving to provide the "narrative" of a "tough" President Obama.

Tough, pacifist, whatever. . .

"There is probably no difference in policies between Hamas and NeoCons in America. "

There are only two possible explanations for such a statement--deep, deep dementia or deliberate prevarication. I'm betting on the former

Well written with logic reason and just , hope obama takes the advise ., this might change the repution of amireca
as the lying shepard of the world .
if it cries wolf no one in the world will belive excpet israel .

Give me a break, Mr. Miller, because you cannot be serious. There will be no peace in the Middle East until there is a clear cut military victory, and Hamas is totally defeated.

Good analysis on what should be done !
As I remember the first Jews who fought English rulers in Palestine in the before next to become Israeli State were yet not Israelis... and they were considered as terrorists...
I strongly disagree with what is doing Hamas, but what is doing Israel, generally speaking, can be call a genocide.
Who are the new Nazis ? Israel governement...
Killing "only" 500 palestians (at the time I write that), mostly children, woman or civils, against the 4 or 5 deads on the Israeli side means they have no common sense of behaviour, or better they know so well that they almost won't have any political disagreement,
that they are on the same level with China/US/Russia making wars just for they own profit !
All the rest is just excuses !
Years ago I really agree to defendIsrael positions, but also since then Israel behaves like a mad territory dog, so it becomes almost impossible for me to support it anymore...
I am for Peace !
That means taking all the positions in count, as mentionned in this article !

Mr. Miller
I think you have it backwards. America should get tougher on the Arabs. Afterall, they have been the truce breakers every time, not the Israelis. How would America like it if Russia came into Alaska and wanted it back, since it had once belonged to them before we "bought it" (what a deal). We wouldn't just let them have it. And what would happen if Russia started to bomb (daily) the mainland USA and wanted more of our lands. This scenario wouldn't fly at all with us, so why should it fly with Israel?? Let's be a little more fair to the land of Israel and what they have put up with for many years---the daily threat of bombs--from Hamas in the Gaza. JL

Mr. Miller:
I believe you have it backwards. America needs to get tougher with the Arabs first and foremost. Then when we see the Arabs keeping their honest peace agreements, then and only then is it time to ask the Israelis for any more committments. After all, if Russia demands that America return Alaska to them because it once belonged to them before we "bought it" (what a deal) could Americans do that? I don't think so. So let's get real and practical with Israel. They have had to give up land that was won by them and in the effort of peace, but still peace hasn't come to their lands. Israel put up with bombs from Gaza for what-several years-and now returns fire. America would have returned fire a lot sooner than they have. We can't condemn them without putting ourselves in their shoes. Other wise, let's shut up. Thank you for reading my point of view. J. Lee
