    According to the book of Joshua, Gaza belongs to Israel. Maybe it is time for Israel to take back what is rightfully theirs. May the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Samson, David and many others give sound and convincing victory and favor in all they do...the only one and true living God...Jehovah...aka Jesus.

    Regarding: "Posted By: mujnoon01 @ 01/17/2009 4:50:05 AM

    why we support hand full jews against over q billion muslims ??/ just one country Israel very tiny and 60 muslim country why ?? make the 60 muslims country happy let the jews go seperate ways !!!!! good foriiegn policy should be to make muslims happy becasue they are more muslims then jews !!! right ??"


    Because we don't want to be forced to choose between Islam and extermination. The real goal of radical Islamic fundamentalism, like the basic ideology of the government of Iran, is to convert or exterminate non-Muslims and bring and end to what they consider the evil western way of life and our beliefs in freedom and equality for men and women. It is therefore in our best interests to support the resistance of these tendrils of hate and intolerance as they spread out to infect the world.

    The transition is complete! I have gone from a admiring supporter of the Jewish Kibutz to a rabid hater of everything even moderately associated with the Zionist greed for other peoples land and treasure! I have no tolerance or support for anything that provides solace or support for Israel! Its existnace has no value or merit; it is a festering cesspol of hatred, bigotry, hubris, criminalityt, and barbaric insane destruction and murder! All Zionists need to be exterinated as a blight on the gene pool of humanity!

    The Israelis have no sense of shame; they are savages. There is no justification for using those horrible incendiary weapons on anyone. The Israelis have killed over 849 civilians, of these, 342 were children. The results of their monstrous behaviour will be remembered for decades. The evil they are sowing will bear a fruit that will blossom into an intense loathing that will grow and perpetuate itself throughout time. If the Jews wanted to insure perpetual hatred from the civilised world, they have just guaranteed it.

      "The Civilized World"
      Hamas is a bunch of animals and only know violence. Palestinians should have taken this into account when they gave them power. Anyone who defends these animals is uncivilized. Seems to me Isreal has to choices. One is to give the palestinians what they want which is dead Isreali children, or two obliterate Hamas and kill some innocent people along the way. Which would you choose?

    Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and Prime Minister Ohlmert should be up for war crimes once a cease fire has been established in Gaza. Israel has slaughtered hundreds of innocent children in its war to defend itself. Israel has had fewer casualties (13) than they have inflicted on UN and humanitarian aid workers in this conflict. Israel is using chemical weapons to kill innocent civilians and is violating international law. Israel has bombed UN hospitals, UN embassies, humanitarian aid workers, red cross workers, ambulance drivers and the list goes on. The pro Jewish Israeli propaganda group AIPAC is too close to the US govt. The US Govt should be working with its allies to disarm Israel and create an international trade embargo with this country. It is a disgrace to the US., UN and international humanitarian community and its barbaric actions need to stop.

    Israel is surronded by the big snake that has already been members of the UN, thus weakening peaceful efforts around the world. this snake opens its mouth in China via Iran to obtain Bradley rockets than rattles its tail down the souterhn region of Lebanon. Who can handle that??? The Palestinians act as thought the Hamas is paying a grandmotherly visit or isn't even there. They never speak of Hamas in an interview. They always had a Manifesto: To kill every Jew in the world. If you build a city, give it to them spend $$$ on them they will destroy wildly every thing you have planted or seeded. It doesn't baffle me. They have been doing this for years. All these robber nations sit on the podiums in the UN, don't even look at each other & vote. If you sleep with the Devil, expect to be swallowed up by these bullies.

    Are you suggesting there was never a kingdom of Israel or Judah? You've never heard of King David or Solomon?
    Who was the King or president or leader of Palestine in 1947? Nobody, because there was no country of Palestine.
    What was the flag of Palestine in 1947? None, because there was no country of Palestine
    What form of government ruled Palestine in 1947? None, because there was no country of Palestine.
    What was the national song of Palestine in 1947? None, because there was no country of Palestine.

    I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent. you were obviously schooled by ignorant goat herding religious zealots, as you have no idea what you are talking about. Either that, or you are deliberately lying to misinform people who are as ignorant or gullible as yourself.
    BTW, I am not a Jew, nor do I support the killing of innocents. I just hate liars.
    Hamas caused this. 8 years of rockets. Israel did not block off Gaza until after Hamas forcibly and violently kicked out the moderate Fatah party (who do not preach openly the destruction of Israel as their goal).
    God bless all the innocent Palestinians! All the terrorists, rot in hell!

    Continue to fight against Hamas, they have no dignity, they use their children as shields to protect temselves.
    The hatred taught by these extremists is appaling, no one in their right mind would be interested in living in a totalitarian
    and narrow-minded quasi-society. Surreal....

    ah another question Ms.Livni: Do you believe in God?
    For your sake I hope you do because only He The Magnificent can answer your prayers of forgiveness for the misery that you have brought to the 1000+ people in Gaza
    ...and likewise for any other human with evil motives whether it be from Hamas, America,or rest of the Arab world...after all there is but One God the Forgiving the Merciful.

  • Posted By: Brien Comerford @ 01/11/2009 4:38:30 PM

    I like Ms. Livni. She is tough, intelligent and experienced. She's also a compassionate vegetarian. A person who respects all life would be a good leader for Israel in reference to human rights issues.

    • Posted By: redmond2009 @ 01/15/2009 3:28:47 AM

      You must be joking with your comment about Livni. Being a vegetarian does not mak someone a humanitarian. Thanks to Livni, Barack and Olmert Israel will pay a very heavy price for their Gaza adventure at the expense of Gazan civilians.

      After this Israel's image will never be repaired and the world will never forget. The only thing that Israel has accomplished is to resurrect anti-semitism, increase extreminism/fundamentalism and prove to the world what a rogue nation they are.

      Livni and company need to consider the real consequence of their actions. You cannot attempt a genocide and than be out in the media claiming that you will take care of their humanitarian needs and that your war is not with the Palestinians because guess what that is who you have been senselessly slaughering for the past two weeks.

      Livni and company are looking at another defeat like Lebannon because guess what Hamas is still firing rockets so their proclaimed objective with regards to Gaza has not been achieved and it never will be.

    Origin and identity of the so-called Israelis:

    Israelis are the newest of all the so-called nations on the face of the Earth, and began to exist in 1948. Why? At the end of WWll the Western Powers felt guilty listening to the sad tales of the Jews, so they decided to be magnificent and create a Israel. However, their feelings of guilt were tempered with the fact that the last thing they wanted was to have all those Jews coming to their countries. So they decided the best resolution was to give these people land they did not themselves own. The answer was the Palestinian Territories. It did not matter that the area was already populated and that less than 3% of that population were Jews. The main thing was that the indigenous people could not defend themselves from the encroachment of armed Jews. So the result was Al-Akbar, the tragic day when the Zionist started their murderous onslaught of the people the Palestinian Territories.

    It has to be noted, the people who began to inhabit this area were not ???Israelis,??? they were Russian, Estonian, Latvian, Poles, etc, from all over Europe. They came there because they were offered free land. The word they put out was that any one was a Jew would become an Israeli citizen. Of course this did not apply to one of the oldest groups on Jews on earth, the Falashas of Ethiopia because they are black. Even today, after years of persecution by the Zionists government, the Falashas have been condemned to the slums of Israels. They have difficulty finding work and are often denied health care.

    Amost immediately they began to steal the land of the Palestinians with their illegal ???settlements. Murder and slaughter the of the Palestinian became a way of life for these ???so-called??? Israelis. There was the massacres at Sabra and Shatila, the atrocities committed in Lebanon, and the current inhuman slaughter. Space does not permit me to recount all of the atrocities committed by these people. Suffice it to say to call them monsters would be a compliment.

    I - Origin and identity of the so-called Palestinians

    Palestinians are the newest of all the peoples on the face of the Earth, and began to exist in a single day by a kind of supernatural phenomenon that is unique in the whole history of mankind, as it is witnessed by Walid Shoebat, a former PLO terrorist that acknowledged the lie he was fighting for and the truth he was fighting against:

    ???Why is it that on June 4th 1967 I was a Jordanian and overnight I became a Palestinian????
    ???We did not particularly mind Jordanian rule. The teaching of the destruction of Israel was a definite part of the curriculum, but we considered ourselves Jordanian until the Jews returned to Jerusalem. Then all of the sudden we were Palestinians - they removed the star from the Jordanian flag and all at once we had a Palestinian flag???.
    ???When I finally realized the lies and myths I was taught, it is my duty as a righteous person to speak out???.

    This declaration by a true "Palestinian" should have some significance for a sincerely neutral observer. Indeed, there is no such a thing like a Palestinian people, or a Palestinian culture, or a Palestinian language, or a Palestinian history. There has never been any Palestinian state, neither any Palestinian archaeological find nor coinage. The present-day "Palestinians" are an Arab people, with Arab culture, Arabic language and Arab history. They have their own Arab states from where they came into the Land of Israel about one century ago to contrast the Jewish immigration. That is the historical truth. They were Jordanians (another recent British invention, as there has never been any people known as "Jordanians"), and after the Six-Day War in which Israel utterly defeated the coalition of nine Arab states and took legitimate possession of Judea and Samaria, the Arab dwellers in those regions underwent a kind of anthropological miracle and discovered that they were Palestinians - something they did not know the day before. Of course, these people having a new identity had to build themselves a history, namely, had to steal some others' history, and the only way that the victims of the theft would not complain is if those victims do no longer exist. Therefore, the Palestinian leaders claimed two contradictory lineages from ancient peoples that inhabited in the Land of Israel: the Canaanites and the Philistines.

    To our Muslim brethren, we beg of you to not let the terrorists within continue terrorising the Jews with their

    suicide bombings of Jewish women and children on busses, weddings, restaurants, and nightclubs:

    Please stop saying that it is all because of Israel, what about what the palestinians did to the christians in

    Lebanon:

      As Omar would say: "Borderline Bull Spit".

      Stop Killing innocent civilians.
      Stop using Phosphorus bombs.
      Stop bombing police stations, and schools.
      Stop killing UN relief workers.
      Open the border as promised.

      Give the Palestinians a right to return to their homes as mandated by international law (to insist that the palestinian land was not stolen is as bad as denying the holocost). I guess history is written by the victor.

    Teach Hamas a lesson? What lesson? Hamas knows that they are overmatched militarily. Hamas knows 100X more Palestinians will die in each conflict than Israelies. Hamas knows that Israel will strike with a lack of restraint. So what is Hamas learning? Note to the leaders of Israel; there's no need to swat a fly with a shotgun, and 13 Israelis dead is not equal to 1100 dead Palestinians. Time for America to step in and say, "hey, we gave you your military might, start using it with a touch of responsibility. We understand where you're coming from, we know you need to defend yourselves, but keep it in check".

    To our Jewish brethren, we beg! Do not be intimidated by ruthless Zionist bullying and violence!! ??? Proclaim loudly and clearly your outrage, pain and sympathy for the people of Gaza. Throughout their history, the Zionists have resorted to intimidation, war, ethnic cleansing and state???sponsored terrorism to achieve their goals.
    The world stands aghast as the atrocities being committed by the Zionist regime in Gaza.
