    The brutal scenes in Gaza has created a lot of sympathy in the hearts of the most secular Muslims and even the drunkards amongst them. The rest of the world population are also showing their sympathy towards the Gazans. Ultimately the world will be filled with hatred towards Israel since the attack on Gaza showed the true colours of Israel. The present view on the holocaust (in German Nazi) will change with the realization that if the holocaust truely happened then the Jews really deserved it. Before the advent of the internet the Zionists was able to use the media for their propaganda but now like many who depended on the media spin are now finding it impossible to convince the world's population of their views, especially the official ones. Israel is moving towards a cul-de-sac.

      Thanks for showing your hatred toward Jews. This hatred is the reason Israel exists. The world hates Israel for its Gaza incursion. Nobody gives a crap about China supplying the genocidal regime in Sudan. Nobody cared when Russia blew up Grozny and killed tens of thousands. And nobody cared when Kuwait kicked a quarter million Palestinians out of that country in the 1990's in the harshest example of ethnic cleansing seen in decades.

      Israel retaliates in Gaza and the whole world is aghast. Do you see the double standard? It's obvious that Israel is trying to avoid civilian casualties, because they could blow Gaza up if they felt like it. Their ratio of three militants killed for every civilian is pretty good, considering all the youtube videos showing Hamas terrorists launching missiles from civilian roofs, alleys adjacent to schools, etc. The goal of Hamas is to get Israel to retaliate and mistakently kill innocents, so that we all see the carnage and hate the Jews. After reading the racist drivel on this board, I realize that the Israelis should be supported at all costs. If we let intolerant, racist, extremist Islamic terrorists to gain politically from their actions, we will all be paying the price some day.

        The ratio has already reached 50% civilians, over half of which are children

          Maybe dumbass Hamas should stop firing rockets into Israel.

          Geez.... it's not rocket science, you know.

            Idiot. Your solution is that the victims should submit. And the Palestinians (including Hamas) ARE the victims. Israel broke the truce (which Israel had never really honored anyway) when it attacked on November 4. Up until that point NO Israeli had been killed by hostile action from Gaza since the truce began. Don't believe me, thats OK. Heres the Christian Science Monitor saying the same thing. And more:

    ???If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.???
    ~Joseph Goebbels

    Christians, Jews and Moslems lived together for hundred years in peace, those who're saying that Hamas has instituted a law for Christains by crucifiction, are simply lying to the audience. I'm not here to defend Hamas, but I can not hear such grotesque allegations and remain silent.
    The problem in America is that the mass media are controlled by the the Zionists, the American people are hearing from one side. The media is giving a fake picture as whole to the American audience, we as Americans, should to be fair, honest, and listen to both sides.

    Wake up America.

    A two state solution is probably inevitable, but it cannot work with Hamas supporting the firing of rockets at Israeli civilians. The killing has to stop, and it's the Palestinians who have never agreed to stop it. If you consider the Gazans as separate from the Palestinians under Abbas; you can see that it is already possible for Palestinians live in peace. It is up to them to choose to stop the killing. You cannot expect the Israelis (Or any other free people) to agree to any long term arrangement that leaves their citizens living with the constant threat of death.

    Please dont pretend like the other arab states have been kind to the palestinians. Dont you think the spector of "Jews stealing land from arabs" is a perfect way to nationalize a nation? Think outside the box here, or just try picking up a book.

    • Posted By: abbreviate @ 01/12/2009 12:17:37 PM

      In other words: If others are stealing I can steal too, if others are killing I can kill too. You stated it Drew, nothing to add.

  • Posted By: DrewCAENG @ 01/12/2009 11:56:22 AM

    Correct there was one boat turned away full of Jews they went back to Europe and were killed during wwII, before that millions fled to points all over the world, to become some of the most successfull, non violent , peacefull people in all of those places. I was responding to rancid Bjanmans comments about Jews not being able to go anywhere without causing problems etc etc etc. Why dont you take a look at who I am repsonding and it what context.

  • Posted By: bajan man @ 01/12/2009 12:24:08 AM

    It is time for the US to take a second look at this so-called "special relationship." 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 and Apartheid Wall, blockaded the sea ways and they have done everything possible to make life miserable for the Palestinians. These money-grubbing jews have one ultimate purpose: to steal all the land of the Palestinians. Nothing else will satisfy their insatiable greed. Israel is a mistake that will continue to perpetuate itself until it is finally blown off 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.

    • Posted By: DrewCAENG @ 01/12/2009 5:42:05 AM

      Funny Bajanman no country wanted Jews? HMMM how about England the USA and Canada and even the city of Shangai, China had a huge Jewish immigration - Many countries took Jews before and after WWII on to their shores and they have grown to become a peacfull contribution to those countries. How about the Palestinians? They are the true outcasts, the other Arab states Egypt, Syria, etc wont even take them in or support them, and they are using the suffering of the Palestinians as an excuse to hate Isreal...I like how you keep copying and pasting your same post on every comment board regarding this war, shows your lack of intelligence or even ability to broaden your hate mongering.

      • Posted By: abbreviate @ 01/12/2009 11:19:16 AM

        Drew, you have to read more. Yes, it was a period of time when Jews fleeing from Nazi where not allowed to enter USA due to Nazi propaganda. I did not hear that it is the case with Palestinians, despite Israel propaganda.

  • Posted By: trendy @ 01/12/2009 11:17:17 AM

    I feel sorry for the Palestinians. The Egyptians don't care about them and these stateless people have to fight against the state of israel backed by the millitary might of the world's sole superpower. They have suffered for nearly 60 years now.When are these people going to have the right to pursue happiness and wealth like the rest of us?

  • Posted By: RO in Reno @ 01/12/2009 10:37:22 AM

    Killing people will never lead to peace and after 60 years of it one would think Israel would realize this fact,so for it has only infuriated people as the final straw after trying to starve the Gazans into submission for the past two years.
    A wize man once said you can't beat people up and expect then to say "I love you"
    When you concider the fact Israel is in violation of some 100 UN resolutions and we hanged Sadamm for being in violation of 12 one has to ask whats wrong with this picture.

  • Posted By: DrewCAENG @ 01/12/2009 5:37:13 AM

    I wonder if Hamas Hizbolla Iran etc all realize that their mission to destroy Isreal is never going to happen there might be peace in the middle east. Its time for Obama to start talking to these groups and laying some ground work. Isreal wants to live peacfully with these people, they should have never let their people settle in Gaza but they did remove them in 2005, the blockade on Gaza was a result of terrorism by Hamas, Isreal had no choice as with their repsponse and country has a right to defend their people! AND enough with the anti-semite crap BOFORCE etc what have you done with your life so positive you self rightous a-hole? Your not even making any points, this war isnt an exuse to just rant and rave about your hatred for Jews, both sides are suffering because of extremism

  • Posted By: Anju Chandel @ 01/12/2009 5:30:18 AM

    A resurgent Hamas with popular support would be the biggest mistake - a repeat, actually - Gazans would be making as the militant outfit is the bigest impediment in their quest for an autonomous Palestine land.

    Abraham Lincoln once said: " America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter, and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

    The real ennemy is within the United States of America., our country is going down the tube. We're losing our jobs, our freedom and our human rights. the real ennemies of America are the Zionists, they're the one who are destroying our beloved country, it's values and what it stands for. AIPAC became the incontournable place where the officials and non officials are seeking a public office. Institutes like the American Entreprise became the policy makers instead of the Department of State or the Pentagon.
    The Zionists intimidate or scare to death anyone who critcize them and label him as anti-semite. I believe this kind of intimidation and greed need to stop. It's time for America to wake up before it's too late.

    I invite the free world and the peace loving people to read the great book by Mr. Paul Findley:
    "They Dare To Speak Out."

      Rothschilds are the the greatest evil.....and they control Fedral Reserves so the control American zombies.

      ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S FIANANCIAL WAR.
      President Abraham Lincoln (16th President of the United States from 1860 till his assassination in 1865) approached the Rothschilds to try to obtain loans to support the ongoing American civil war. The Rothschilds agree provided Lincoln allows them a Charter for another United States central bank and are prepared to pay 24% to 36% interest on all monies loaned. Lincoln was very angry about this high level of interest and so he printed his own debt free money and informed the public that this was now legal tender for both public and private debts.By April 1862,$449,338,902 worth of Lincoln's debt free money had been printed and distributed. He went on to state,
      'We gave the people of this republic the greatest
      blessing they ever had, their own paper money to
      pay their own debts'.
      That same year The Times of London publishes A story containing the following statement,
      'If that mischievous financial policy, which had its origin in the North American Republic, should become indurated down to a fixture, then that government will furnish its own money without cost. It will pay off debts and be without a debt. It will have all the money necessary to carry on its commerce. It will become prosperous beyond precedent in the history of civilized governments of the world. The brains and the wealth of all countries will go to North America. That government must be destroyed or it will destroy every monarchy on the globe'.
      In the year 1865, a statement to Congress, President Abraham Lincoln stated,
      'I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me, and the financial institution in the rear. Of the two, the one in my rear is my greatest foe'.
      Later that year President Lincoln was assassinated.

    When did Israel become the 51st state. All this money to Israel at the cost of peace, economic ruin. Do we not have economic disadvantage of the minorities, farmers, national infrastructure and the economic collapse of the 21st century. While all this at hand, why blindly support a state that is not under the American flag. Why the special treatment at the cost of demolition of American values the world had once reveered. Washington, Franklin, Adams' America is no more. What is the human cost, monetary cost and degrading American values since the inseption of Israel. If the European powers at end of WWII decided to pay for their sins in terms of others' land, then Israel and US should begin to find ways to provide what has been lost to the people that lost the land. The biblical land theory is no more, since Ishmael and Isaac's children were allways at this land. When did this country (USA) became a nation that cherishes boots on children and women's necks and insensitivities to their torn bodies because they are moslems. Look at what we have become for so called biblical land. What if all ancient heritages began to demand return of land. If America is to keep sending tax dollars to Israel at the peril of losing ancient cultures as friends , gaining enemies of thousands of years old nations, then Israel should come under the American flag. It can continue to be home for the jews, live in peace but if we are to pay for all, then we must own all. The allegiance must be to USA. No more policies that undermine this nation with our money. Blindly hostage to the policies of a foreign nation, ran by the Evangelical Ayetullahs, USA is no more Washington or Franklin or Adams' USA.

    Best way to establish peace is to pull all funding and you will see the peace arrive very quickly. America can watch over in case of threats but all funding must stop. American dollars for Americans in America. Not for foreigners or Americans pledging alliance to foreigners in Tel Aviv. Wake up America.

    I truly don't understand why someone has to be labeled "anti-semite" if they disagree with Israel's latest offensive in Gaza. Why is it acceptable for Israel to have killed over 800 people, many of whom are children? Israel has lost less than 1/10 of that number from their own population. Why is it acceptable that Palestinians have to deal with no electricity, no running water, no food, no medical help and Americans should shut up and not complain? Israel provides all of that for its citizens. Why am I anti-semite if I point out that Israel would not like it one bit if they were modern day slaves to controlling Palestinian masters? Israel is NOT making its citizens any safer! Terrorists are created, not born. Israel could wipe out the entire Gaza strip of Palestinians and there will be plenty of Muslims from other countries who will continue to seek to destroy Israel. Israel is building up resentment within the Middle East and one day it will be a holy war that Israel can't afford to lose. It's truly a shame American politicians can't speak out against inhumane treatment of human beings. Even inhumane treatment of Palestinians caught in the middle.

    I am a regular on J Street, the moderate Jewish organization. While I am horrified at the carnage, I understand some of the pressure Israel is under. That said, the responses have been frightening to me. I fear for Israel's future.

    One of the most powerful and technologically advanced armies in the world is attacking an imprisoned and impoverished people who are fighting for their land and their lives - and we stand by and do nothing! SHAME ON US.

    • Posted By: TheGardener @ 01/11/2009 3:09:44 AM

      Hey, you seem to skip a few passages of history. In 2005 Ariel Sharon gave an Israeli Free Gaza to the 'Palestinians" You take astronomical amounts of money from the EU and the US for close to 3 years.
      WHERE IS THE NATION BUILDING? Seems you squander the money to buy rockets.

      There is no rational explanation for the behaviour of any of your gangs. You lie, you steal and you deceive your own people. You lie: You tell the UN and the world you need money for Nation building. You Steal by taking the money given to you by the EU _ US for the purpose of Nation Building and spend it to buy rockets. You deceive your own people by telling lies such as Gaza is ours now but you continue to fire rockets at Israel.

      Try that SH*T with any other country your whining is not going to last long.

    As an Israeli Defence[genocide] Chief once remarked 'how he felt as he rocketed and bombed an infants school killing over a hundred children' . His reply was, 'just a slight tilt in the left wing.' That summed up the thinking then, and the thinking now. No government worldwide has the gut's to stand up and challenge the GENOCIDE being perpetrated on the people of Gaza, instesd they wring their hands in sanctimonious theatricals, whilst shedding crocodile tears by the bucket. All the major churshes are useless which is why religion is dying amidst it's crumbling edifices.
    I'm afraid one can only take on the old russian adage, which says 'when you have an enemy with no honour', 'kill him, where and when you find him' and give him the pity he gave you'.
