    Having already commented to this article days ago, all I have left to say now is that it is heartbreaking to see the photo on this site of the Palestinian women and children suffering and crying. I'm sure the Israelis are suffering too. No land is worth this

      9/11 was heartbreaking. This is satisfying, as is everytime an evil doer gets just deserves. Go take your misguided PC bs elsewhere.

        You have no compassion. I know about 9/11 because I lost a family member! Go take your coldhearted BS somewhere else and grow a heart while you are at it!

          Which family member would that be? The one that flew the plane into the north tower or the one that flew the plane into the south tower? It must be so as no True American would defend these swine after losing a family member.

          And I am Richard, C??ur de Lion, now made The Implacable in the face of the muslim Horde seeking our destruction

            The family member who was turned into ashes on 9/11was a 26 year old newly married second cousin! You are no coeur de leon, vous etes un imbecile! FIY, I'm not of Arab descent. I'm Italian-American and proud of it!

              There is no such thing as an "Italian-American." This hyphenated BS must stop. There may be Americans of Italian descent. Decide where your loyalties lie, assuming you can even grasp that concept. America First!

            Ok, so you are a miscreant too IdiotRichard. If you can read, you will see that Pia has not defended Hamas; she has lamented the innocent victims.

            It is way over any boundary of human decency to ridicule the loss of a relative in 9/11 as you have.

            You are no better than all the other uncivilized heathens throughout history who have asserted that deaths of innocents were justified by some pseudoreligious belief, or racial or ethnic prejudice.

            You should seek forgiveness from God. I withhold mine for the worthy. God therefore is better than I, but most of us are still far better than you. May you receive what you deserve.

              Thank you very much for defending me, 40YearR. Yes, you are right. I lamented the suffering of the innocents on both sides.

      • Posted By: 40YearR @ 01/09/2009 10:18:10 PM

        If you are right that 9/11 was heartbreaking, but the deaths and mutilations of innocents in Gaza is satifying, then you justify the attitudes of those who considered that the deaths on 9/11 were justified or satisfying. They were just as right as you are, because you reduce it to just a matter of perspective. Please define BS, and then define hypocricy.

    mess with the bull, you get the horns.
    why do the Palestinians even claim this land?
    did they win this territory is some war long ago?
    bwhahahahaha! guess what?
    you got pwnt in '67.
    Deal with it.

    i just wish innocent people didn't have to suffer. war sucks.

    and why does every other arab nation hate them too, and refuse to allow them into their own society? it's like they are the gypsies of the middle east....

    • Posted By: Pia1981 @ 01/08/2009 9:54:10 PM

      I haven't heard that every Arab country hates the Palestinians. Why would they? I doubt this is the case....these people are suffering enough as it is without having to feel hated by their own people. If they are gypsies,that would be because they have no place of their own and that is very sad.

      • Posted By: ClearThinking @ 01/09/2009 12:08:38 AM

        Egypt has them fenced off on their side, don't they?
        They have been in refugee camps in more than one arab country for years...they aren't allowed to become residents?
        You'd think if they have been kicked out of their homes in 1948, they've had 60 years to get on with their lives.....
        But noooooooooooooo......why not?

          They have no resources. They are and will always be poor. Place yourself in their position and you will understand their plight..

    The Isralis have managed to whip us enough hatred to last them the rest of their lives, it's funny how they did not want the rest of the world to know. But in this age of technology thankfully it has been leaked out to the world.

    To allow this evil vile group of people can show themselves for who they truel are. One commentator stated that the palestinians were stupid to allow their land to be stolen. It was their kindness that got them into the trap. The Red Indians streached out a hand of friendship, and the same thing happend, the Blacks streached out a hand of friendship and in no time they were enslaved.

    The kind of people being dealt with who every corner of the globe has suffered, still can't learn. Satan the Devil has come down to you they look nice but they are the master of deciete, and the master of all lies.

    The Bible speak about them in Revelations, and John spoke about them as well John 8 verse 44, and again in Revelation 2 verse 9. Matthew 24. Will explain what is going on, do not trust politicans, they will say they are gods, when they are no better than SATAN the DEVIL like George Bush. Spend your war out of Recession, to benefit who?. How many people who are not mad would encourage people to get themselves into debt, was it not debt that created the recession.

    It sounds like a clean up, spend all your money before you die, because you can't take it with you. Give it to the De Rothchilds, by supporting their business it's like the competition of the rich and powerfull to fool the Goyims who are too stupied to know anybetter.

    The word ???peace??? does not seem to have ever appeared in the Israeli or Palestinian dictionary.

    Of course, both Israel and Hamas would ignore UN???s plea to ceasefire. After all, each has to serve its own primary and covert agenda first.

    Any way, since when did UN receive the due recognition or respect stipulated by its charter especially from the Middle-east nations?

    Don???t you think this is preposterous? On one hand, killings keep perpetuating with minimal compunction; on the other hand, aids of all kinds are frantically waiting to sneak in. On one side, tanks have been lined up ready to fire anytime; on the other side, ambulances are anxiously waiting to pick up the dead and injured.

    Oh, this is the game of the smartest and most thoughtful animal on earth!

    nbaker17, what can we say about the death of children in Gaza? Are the terriosts using children as shields? Were these children themselves possible future terrorists? Only God knows. Like the Bible says, " it is appoint unto man to die and then the judgment". Only God appoints the day of death. He takes care of the children after death. As for the Hamas beasts, they are getting what they deserve. May Israel reigh terror on the Palestinians.

    Great article. At a time when American politicians continue to give Israel free license for actions deemed necessary for self protection, most Americans have continue to feel silenced, embarrassed by political correctness to even ask the right questions. It is is Israel and the US's best interests for diplomacy to the ultimate goal. The fierce, brutal attacks on the people of Gaza will only create more hate and anger against the nation, much as US attacks into Iraq fanned flames unlike those seen before 9/11. It is time for the US to have a more balanced, "tough love" for Israel, and point out when it has gone too far.

    • Posted By: Forty4 @ 01/09/2009 7:23:40 PM

      I suppose defending your citizens from over 3000 rocket attacks this past year is "going too far." Hamas has one goal, as stated in its charter: Israel's destruction. They fire missiles at Israel, even during cease fires, full well knowing the Israeli's will defend herself and retaliate. Their hope is that if Palestinian's die as a result, children will be among them. The have paraded the dead, especially children, through the streets expecting to get sympathy and support for their terrorist actions... and they do! You seem to among them.

      Negations mean nothing to Hamas, as they won't take "yes" for an answer. What would you have the Israelis do, lay down and die for their convenience?

      • Posted By: nbaker17 @ 01/09/2009 9:39:11 PM

        So, you are saying Israel's loss of 5 lives is defending itself by killing more than 700 Palistiinians and injuring more than 3000 people. I see that Israel is the terrorist here. The pictures of the many children that have died during this horrific massacre are just the truth of what is going on over there. I just don't understand how the Jewish people of Israel can justify such cruelty, when they have been victems themselves during the Holocaust. They are acting just like Hitler!!!

        • Posted By: Forty4 @ 01/09/2009 9:53:54 PM

          And where do document these "five lives?" 3000 rockets lobbed into Israel and this is all the deaths Hamas has garnered? Please.

          nbaker, the fact is, if Hamas will down their arms, there will be peace. If Israel lays down theirs, they will die.

I say to you to kiss my horse's .....! 2) You are mean, callous, insensitive=heartless. 3) The next time I post anything in support of the innocents involved in the conflict as I have done here and you reply with similar comments, I will have you crying. Big bully. You're not so tough. Got it, disgraziato?

    You know, settlers 'stole' land from the Indians and now many of you happliy live in the good old USA--and you conveniently forget that.

    As an archaeologists having worked in the middle east, I can tell you that many people have occupied that area for thousands of years. Israelites, Akkadians, Sumerians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and more. I have lived and worked in Israel and am quite aware of the mess Hamas has made. It does not care about its civilians and fires rockets from schools and private homes, then cries foul when these locations are targeted. Israel does not want to hurt civilians and gives them chances to leave.

    My guess is many of you trashing Israel have never set foot in that country and only go by what you hear in the press. You are the same people who forget we displaced hundreds of tribes not too long ago. When you start feeling bad about that I might understand your anger towards Israel but until then you feed only your own agenda.

    Klaidman gets props for stating the obvious. Remove HAMAS,and the door to peace at least cracks open. Critics of the Jewish state forget utterly that Klaidman is correct in his assertion that Olmert was planning on going much further with the PA and Syria than anyone expected before HAMAS starting pulling their garbage again,including talks with Assad in returning the West Bank to Syria,which is being weakened by not only the HAMAs thuggery,[which includes reimposition of Sharia Law that now legalizes cruxcifixion], but the movement of arms by Syria in violation of the UN 2006 agreement into HEZBOLLAH-controlled south Lebanon The western media,forever and anon in the tank for the terrorists,again finds itself victim ,as with the 2006 Lebanese War,of phony journalism and photoshopped and staged videos and pictures,as CNN has found out to its grief [again],where it yesterday pulled its entire Gazan video feeds report lineup after it was found that they were playstaged by HAMAS propagandists before being handed off to CNN by Arab stringers. We would get better reports from Joe the Plumber,who as it occurs,lands at Israels David Ben Gurion airport today for purposes as yet unknown.
    These Arab ''Hudnas''[temporary peace in order to refit and rearm], are the problem,along with the gangsters of HAMAS who are also engaged in internecine warfare amongst FATAH and PA factions. Crush these,and Olmert/Livni/Bibi can help shift power back to the Abu Mazen PA while at the same time presenting a moderate front among the two sides,working to nullify the terrorists in Gaza,and the Jewish pro-settlement rightwingers in LIKKUD. Make no mistake. HAMAS never gave a damn for ''defending''anyone other than their own interests. They wantonly not only kill Jews,but also murder and terrorize their own in order to hang on to a gangsters power.

  • Posted By: Peace&Love1 @ 01/09/2009 3:24:20 PM

    I am F***ing sick of hearing the ???what would you do if your country was being attacked with missiles from Mexico or Canada??? and Israel has a right to defend itself!!! Hamas broke the cease fire, etc.
    Lets get the facts straight.
    Gaza is not like Canada or Mexico. The REAL QUESTION SHOULD BE:
    What would the Canadian or Mexican people do if their country was completely controlled and blockaded(air, land, and sea) by the US. Would they just sit there and take it. Would they let their people starve and die from lack of medication and power?
    Hamas was the democratically elected government. They have a right to defend their people I think. I???ll tell you what I would do if my kids were starving because of another group of people(animals), I would kill as many as I can. I???m sure every person in the world would do the same. These are the facts. I love how the American Jews change the facts to make the Israelis look like the victims and to keep the biggest financial and military aid flowing. I cant wait for the American people; like the rest of the world, to wake up. That is when peace will be achieved in the Middle East.

    It is time for the US to take a second look at this so-called "special relationship" between the US and Israel. The Jews have been taking advantage of the Palestinians ever since it was "created." They have stolen land, established illegal settlements, humiliated the Palestinians by requiring them to stand in the sweltering sun and/or freezing rain for hours on end just to get to work. It has built an Apartheid Wall, blockaded the sea ways and they have done everything possible to make life miserable for the Palestinians. These money-grubbing *** have one ultimate purpose: to steal all the land of the Palestinians. Nothing else will satisfy their insatiable greed. Israel is like a cancer that will continue to fester and cause problems to the world at large until it is finally excised from the face of the earth. It has to be kept in mind that the only reason Israel was established in the first place is that no civilised nation on the face of the earth wanted these people within their own borders. One occasionally wistfully muses on how peaceful the world would be without this Jew-infested so-called nation.

No, most of them they are not thats why its time to make a sorting out and isolate those bloody roots to free mankind foir its final civilisation.In societies ,in tribes; in religions we should sort'em out.
    Actually the sionist "bloody root " makes the event.Genocides events.
    i think if Israel was the superpower it will terminate the non jews mankind and after that they exterminate each other. Simply bercause they have a BLOODY ROOT.

    I agree with AmericanPatriot911 below. I would like to know how the Jews (back in 1948) were able to "take advantage of the Palestinians", when there were more Arabs in the area than Jews. Guess what? The Palestinians are stupid. And they have no discipline. When hatred runs your life, you can't think clearly. This is why they do not prosper --- they cannot create jobs --- they live day-to-day wallowing in their hatred. They live for no other purpose. In due time Jehovah God is stepping in to annihilate the vermin. Praise Yahweh.

    A better solution is to return the west bank, minus those territories the Israelis wish to keep to Jordan. return Gaza to Egypt. Let the arabs solve thier own problems and reflect on the fact that despite several wars they are too weak to defeat Israel, and further provocation could lead to further loss of territory. War is risky. the arabs took the risk and come up short. Now they have to pay the price for their defeat.

  • Posted By: Ramsfan @ 01/03/2009 4:09:53 PM

    Since its inception in 1948, Israel has been under attack from the surrounding Arab nations. From day one there has been an effort to wipe Israel off of the map. Israel's detractors, if they knew anything at all of history, would know this. Most Arab nations don't acknowledge the state of Israel. The PLO and Hamas have in their charters, "the destruction of Israel." It has been only the Providence of God that has kept Israel from complete destruction. Israel's detractor's can't see this. Just as they ignore the countless suicide bombers that have attacked Israel for years as well. Israel has suffered many casualties in its civilian population for many years. Newsweek is part of the "inbred journalism culture" who see things only from a worldview from the left.

    • Posted By: JohnD110175 @ 01/05/2009 5:40:08 AM

      Ever since its inception, israel has been like a cancer, it has brought death and destruction to the middle east. Israel has attacked, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jprdan, bombed Iraq (nuclear reactor), and has been threatening Iran. Not the most impressive record. Israel was built on stolen land, Israel is the bastard child of the UN and Balfour, it was born in Sin. Therefore, the only solution is for the Jews is to pack up and go back to where they came from (Europe, Russia, ...etc.). Otherwise, they will live in fear and terror for as long as Israel exists. To all of the clowns on this blog that support israel, israel only exists because the US allows it too. Without the massive financial and military aid that out taxpayer money provides to israel, israel would not survive on its own. Israel is like a leech that lives off the blood of americans and palestinians (American Money and Palestinian land). Its time for israel to be dismantled.

        In reply to: JohnD110175 : John , You are obviously a 33 year old liberal who is prejudice against Israel. I am a 57 year old Native American with no axe to grind (pun intended !) You should follow Mr. Obama's example. He went to school and worked hard to become the intelligent and gifted man he is today ! All citizens of America are American. And I get extremely offended when some immagrant says " Well, back in my country...." and if you catch yourself saying this, please do me a favor: Either go back where you came from or send me your address ! (hehehe ...I'm joking!) I wouldn't hurt anyone.Technically, I could say everyone that's not Native American is an immagrant! I just have two answers for everyone of you ISRAEL haters: One is " freier ", it's a Jewish compliment! And second, I wish to quote (verbatim) the Hebrew Prophet Ezekiel : "And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, before their eyes. And it shall come to pass at the same time when GOG shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that MY fury shall come up in MY face. For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother. And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Thus will I magnify MYSELF, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD." -Replace the word GOG with GAZA I

    There have been indications that some groups and Arab nations derive vicarious pleasure in the travails of the Palestinians and this help the festering of the crisis. Much of the human race cannot understand why ancient animosities and grudges dodge the path of peace in the Middle East. Especially on the side of Arabs, Palestinian adults feed their young on an endless dose of hatred. Since most Arabs profess a particular religion, questions are rife as to peaceful if violently virulent content of its preachment and doctrine. You cannot be seeking to annihilate an animate being and expect it to care less. It must preserve itself, unfortunately, in so doing, it inflicts harm on its 'enemy'. Even more troubling is for a responsible adult to fire shots behinds indefensible children and women and men. The Arab world would need to rethink. But, against all odds, peaceful co-habitation is achievable between Palestine and Israel. A two-state solution remains the best option so far.
