    Support U.N. sanctions against Israel. Their actions are moving into the criminal.

    After February 10, will find out what Israel actions will be against Hamas. Israel like to play politics and war at the same time. Ms.Livni will not dare going against Iran while Hamas is launching his rockets into Israel, Hamas is a weak target, and she can easily win the battle. Mr.Netanyahu is giving the impression that he is ready to go to Iran and stop them from acquiring nuclear weapons. Ms.Livni going to win the prime minister position than go into Gaza again. She going to follow Olmert policy.

    Mr. Olmert, the nuremburg trials were after the generals that give the orders to exterminate some of you. Not the simple soldier that was told to do it. So in case there are any tribunal ready for your kind, it is you Mr. Olmert that will be charged with crimes against humanity, not your soldier.

    Despite the disproportional aggression that Israel showed Hamas in the last Gaza conflict, having Hamas still launching rockets into Israel, surprised me. I think Hamas might have something under his sleeves, and Israel is going to fall right into their hands. I just can't imagine why Hamas would do that, unless they have a surprise for Israel.

    End Israeli overreaction now.

    The U.N. should go into Gaza with a peacekeeping force and disarm the region - then provide the food and medical care that the Israelis won't.

    President Obama to offer apology to Iran in a letter according to well placed sources. The letter will state:
    1. I am sorry that President Bush called you Evil and sponsors of terror.
    2. Forgive us for Rush Limbaugh. I am working hard to get him off the air.
    3. I am sorry for our past aggressive promoting of democracy and freedom. This was not culturally sensitive on our part.
    4. I regret our promotion of hedonistic American culture in particular I am sorry for the destructive effect of Paris Hilton.
    5. I am sorry that our warmongering forced you to develop nuclear weapons.
    6. Please forgive us for the presence of American troops in your backyard. They won't be there much longer.
    7. We are deeply sorry for out past support of Israel.
    8. I deeply regret that we elected Ronald Reagan and that he frightened you into releasing the hostages.
    9. I regret the cruel humor to which you have been subjected by Jay Leno.
    10.Please forgive us. And please don't hurt us.

    usa has vetoed 40 security council resolutions against israel

    that says it all

    it is usa and israel who are the terrorists in the eyes of the world

    anything obama says needs to be proven too
    hamas should arm itself and teach israel the lesson the hizbollah taugh the american terrorists in lebanon

    they are a disgrace to world conscience with all their false propaganda on being democratic and free

    why does usa not veto israel at least once just so that exception can prove a rule
    lolz
    a comic delusion -hamas disarming so they can kill every man woman and child without any resistance with american blessing

    These human rights groups are shameful, displaying the most idiotic form of liberalism. When you are causing disproportionate damage to an enemy, you do not let up so that they can kill a few of your people and make things fair. Such proportionality completely goes against military tactics. And should Israeli soldiers fight Palestinians in the pitch dark? That would certainly increase Israeli casualties and restore some "proportionality", but it would also likely lead to more civilian deaths.

    This war seems to have accomplished its ends nicely: it has actually managed to greatly harm Hamas both in terms of hard and soft power. Hamas should not be given a victory at War Crimes tribunals that give voice to bogus charges.

    ' Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said. "The soldiers and commanders who were sent on missions in Gaza must know that they are safe from various tribunals." '

    It is not only the soldiers and commanders who were sent on missions in Gaza who should face war crimes tribunals, but also those who sent them, including those at the very top.

    All you jihadists don't have to worry - The crackpot muslims running hamas will once again start the fighting by sending rockets into Israel and then groundlessly blame Israel for it. It's what these religious fanatics do for a living - kill their own along with "the infidels" so they can spread the word of god...God is great???

    Maybe if the people of the middle east, and the world for that matter, stopped believing in ancient, aggrandized, and essentially tribal superstitions, they might find fewer reasons to kill.

  • Posted By: louisMMVII @ 01/20/2009 10:33:29 AM

    Why would anyone even care about this war which in a religious sense in non-sense. In this corner delusional followers of a false prophet that propagated hatred, and in that corner deniers of the One living true God. Is Hamas so delusional that now after this great "victory" that they should mount a major bottle rocket offensive againts the retreating Israelis? Children will we ever play nice together?

    People of Gaza,Hamas claims victory at the expense of your lives not their own.You are expendable to the Israelis and your own government.You are bloody exclamtion points on their charter.You are professional victims,there for all the world to see your suffering so hamas will profit.Stand up now and throw hamas off your back before they decide they need to make a statement again in your blood.Good luck in the next war.

  • Posted By: DrewCAENG @ 01/19/2009 4:01:02 PM

    Now Hamas will claim "Victory" Talk about people who only car about their glory and how their rapist father Mohammed sees them. Well done you've gotten 1100 of your people killed and gained nothing. Monkeys learn better.

    The middle east is a very tiresome burden on the rest of the world. It would be fantastic if we could all act as civilized human beings and sit down and talk about the differences and negotiate something that is fair and equitable, however there are so many fundamentalist cockroaches whose soul purpose in life is to kill that it is nearly impossible for this to ever happen. Let us be clear comparing our right to bear arms amendment here in America does not include rocket launchers for God's sake. Firing rockets into civilian homes for months is not an acceptable solution. It is like throwing rocks at a dog and then crying when you get bit! Also, it would be fabulous if you would stop pretending that Hamas and whatever other brand of crazy over there doesn't use their women and children as shields to gain sympathy from the rest of the world!

    Enter Your Comment The withdrawal by the IDF just prove that they are cowards. Despite having the military might, they just managed to destroy buildings, kill women and children and innocent civilians.Israel can never stop Hamas from sending "rockets" to them. These "rockets" are just fire crackers.
