  • FRED BARNES ,you are being onesided on the video played.WHAT ABOUT IF ONE OF THOSE CHILDREN IN GASA WAS YOUR CHILD.THEN WHAT.

  • i want to kill all busch famillie

  • Livni knows that Israel broke the truce by killing 6 Palestinians in Gaza n 4th November. Up to them, not a single Israeli was killed by rockets from Israel.

  • Who's land was it Biatch!

  • i HATe this bitch tzipi.a white condi rice- another bitch!

    Israel govt = ZOG = terrorist

    it is NOT the ordinary jew - IT IS the zionists who R evil!

    killing innocent ppl is NEVER justified

    TROOPS OUT of Palestine

    TROOPS OUT of Afghanistan

    TROOPS OUT of Iraq

  • the truce wasnt broken by hamas and mossad plented rocket lunchers with times so they can attack after n brake the truce

  • Blaming either side is short-sighted and shallow. I don't think Israel should have attacked Gaza in the fashion they did, but they did try to minimize civilian casualties. I don't think either side should attack each other. Fundamentalists on both sides should be the common enemy of moderates on both sides.

  • people in whole the world and also Jews..must understand that hamas is a lil organization that can't take the israeli economic blockade in gaza that started since 2000.I'll ask everyone of u one question if a person prevent u food;education and even the smile..how u'll respond.don't u wanna kill and fight him? and thats whats hamas doin but in fuct they only sending undeveloped "kasams" and in respons israel fights children in the most War crimes.God bless GAZA'S ppl << A broken pal heart :(

  • Violence...bla...bla...Jews pretend a lot of goverments to remember his holocaust. What think now this countrys people about israel?

    Hungry, criminal, dirty jews...

  • Zippi, you are ugly and stupid. Knavish, dirty judes, i hope USA will turn his ass in your face one day, and in the next morning muslim people will eat you at breakfast..Amen.

  • tzipi is hot.hamas is bending over for her strapon...

  • she need a big hamsawe dick so she can but it in her fucking assssss. fuck isreal;;;;

  • Israel is the most terrorism in the world

    الكيان الصهيوني هو الأكثر إرهاباً في العالم

  • it's refreshing to see sympathizers from both sides in the comments (even if the video is only showing one side).

    i can't tell who's right.

    hamas's side: israel violated the truce by bombing the tunnels to egypt, tunnels carrying food and allegedly also military supplies.

    israel's side: hamas violated the truce by firing the rockets aimed at israeli civilians near the border.

  • Uhh, ok, so we got the Israeli point of View there, (like we always do), so where's the Palestinian Point of View? Fair and Balanced my ass!

  • Israel violated the Truce

  • Israel is a Terrorist Nation...I am sick of this shit Israel killing Innocent and the weakest!

    Israel is the only One and only jewish country, been breaching the world's Piece from over 50 years now...Some one needs to step up...Us wont because our Media is owned by the Politicians and US also has its polictical interest in Israel!!

    Two nukes on this dirty Jews can get the Job done!!!

  • yeah or just send mel gibson there.

  • Don't waggle the tail of a fox you can't kill

  • 300+ Palestinians dead compared to 3 Israelis, anyone with half a brain can see there is something clearly wrong with that picture.

  • Wow - jews are filthy subhuman shit. The should be packed in the ovens 24/7 until they are all gone to hell.

  • SOO STAGED, justifiying the lying israel. it wasnt hamas that violated the peace process it was israelis, all of this is another hoax for them to just invade and gain more land for the israelies

  • The whole discussion is framed in terms of Israel's interests. The worst outcome, according to these commentators, would be if Israel's attack backfires on Israel. No one else matters.

  • Bill Sammon, "It's bigger in the sense of scale", what penetrating insight!!!

  • They are going to blow up the Temple Mount in Jerusalem!

  • I spoke with my friend in Israel who is in politics and he just told me that the Israeli military will bomb IRAN's nuclear facilities when Hezbolla gets involved. Media is already reporting Irans link to funding HAMAS to build U.S. support. Once Irans nuclear facilities are destroyed they will move the military into Palestine to take out Hamas supporters. He said that there will be many thousands of Hamas killed but Hamas will be no more. Iran will be invaded by Egypt & others if they retaliate=

  • Israel was a historical mistake and this is proving it. Not that the Palestinians are such great folks either. They're all nuts. If the military might was on the other side they'd probably be doing stuff that's just as evil.

    When you base your entire life on pretend sky-gods from dusty ancient books this is what happens.

  • PEACE...please peace.  =/

  • I fucking hate that beltway boy guy - Shows absolutely no compassion for palestinian civilians.

  • "sometimes ... a civilian pays the 'price.'"

    She can't even keep a straight face when she says this.

    /puke

  • i hate this bitch. PURE EVIL like the rest of their corrupt politicians.

    Israeli = terrorist

  • World needs more women like Tzipi Levni period!!!

  • This is news or propoganda.

  • In 5 minutes = * Everything you need to know about Israel vs Palestine

    THE IRON WALL -- PART 5 -- youtube

    Names to look up for good reading / video:

    Edward Said - Norman Finkelstein - Jeff Halper

    peace

  • I'm German, French, & Welsh, not Jewish; I just respect and love God's chosen and know what God has in store for those who seek Israel's destruction.

  • You can think what n how u like "TedinLasVegas".

    But does`nt make any sense

  • they are punishing civilians for Hammas s action??? FUCKIN DUMB JEWS!! what kind of right is that??? attacking heavily populated area just to kill a group of thugs/terrorists.

  • If you're right, then Armageddon is about to happen and you're about to suffer the Tribulation.

    I'm ready for eternity with Jesus Christ and stand by God's chosen people. I hate to see what happens to Russia and Iran when they chose to move against God's chosen people!

  • livni clumsily clinging to her "change the realities" talking point and the standard phrases we ve heard for years, its israel that is condemned by the international community

    80 missiles in a week, so are there 80 israeli victims? same old lies..

  • This is not true

    actually Israel is targeting everyone not only hamas

    how many got killed in israel its only 1 woman.

    how could you kill 380 (in the moment) and injure 1800

    unbeleivable.

  • IS THIS IS TRUE?

  • is this a greece?

  • Both sides behaving like little kids, "they started it".

  • Israel shoots rockets at itself.

    Home-made rockets kill 13 Israelis in * 7 YEARS! - boo fukn hoo....

    Israel fired those rockets to use as an excuse to slaughter and starve Gaza and provoke Hezbolla to fight back.

    *(and the US and Israel will somehow blame Iran...)

    Israel wants more war.

    MORE WAR FOR ISRAEL! MORE WAR FOR ISRAEL! MORE WAR FOR ISRAEL!

  • Your logic is completley messed up, I'll try to fix it here...

    There was a cease-fire agreement

    Hezbolla violated the agreement completley unprovoked

    Israel retaliates

    I'm just wondering why Israel would want Hezbollah to fight back. You say they want more war...why would they want more war with Hezbollah? Its not like they would do it for oil or power or money...what is leading you to believe this?

  • Isreal is war hungry.

  • what a clip. where to start? livni's blood  thirst or barnes' vacuous simplistic take? some news media we have in north america

  • Arabs and jews ,no they are not jews but khazars are not in their land, negroes are the true hebrews, there were no white in the area years ago. There will be VIOLENCE, HATE , because of the curse.

  • HEY ISRAEL!! EVER HEARD OF PROPORTIONAL RESPONSE, U HYPOCRITICAL BITCHES?

    Peace to ALL!

  • I also hope your not saying that murdering 1,000s of CIVILIANS, which is what the Palestinians are and have been doing, is an acceptable form of resistance.

    What if those next civilians are you and your family? Would you have the same position then?

  • And Isreal has been shutting Palestinians away, not feeding them, not letting them get jobs, not letting them leave.

  • And Palestinians have been MURDERING CIVILIANS, NOT LETTING THEM LIVE...

    The solution is EASY! As soon as the Palestinians quit MURDERING, things will get better for them.

    Why do you like the MURDEROUS PALESTINIANS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

  • LIVNI = Ugliest Dude Ever!!!

  • Oh!!! a recurrent psychotic episode by waring parties in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

    There never seems to be enough leadership from both sides or in the region or world to resolve issues in this conflict.

    Compassion is a word never heard in the lexicon in this montage of news clips.

  • I can't decide what's worse....The stranglehold Isreal has put on Gaza in light of the timing of elections in the West and in Isreal or the sickening one-sided way the Western Media proclaims Isreals acts as somehow justified.

    What a joke this world has become!

  • ugg ...i totally agree :-(

  • this israeli foreign minister sounds like such a fucking stooge. I'm not blaming the israeli people for the actions of the government, but something needs to be done about this murderous states current regime.

  • i dont like the president of Israil

  • well this is how i see it , even a thiefs have the right to protect themself , all i hope wish for all is peace may god have mercy on this world ,,,,,

  • The Gaza explodes. We knew Bush had one more major catastrophe in him.

    The only question that remains is, "Can the world escape the Bush Presidency before any nuclear weapons explode?

  • Fucking Isreal, that's ALL I have to say. DON'T SEND ME RESPONSES DEFENDING ISREAL.

  • Hmm. Both Bush and Obama agree on Israel.

    What's that mean?

  • i really wish someone would nuke that f--king holy city. life would be easier if the problem was gone.

  • isreal is The first terrorist country

    they killed children , oldmen and wemen ..

  • So did Mohamed f1h1s.

  • blaming hamas is equal to blaming the US for 9/11

    israel wants to completely destroy hamas out of one side of it's mouth and welcome hamas back to peace talks out of the other

    hamas is the elected government of palestine

    America needs to mind it's own business and not get embroiled in foreign politics especially at this time

  • Someone has to take the first step to peace. Israeli has tried take that first step several times and the Palestinians have continued their murderous rampage.

    Its obvious that the Palestinians don't want peace, they want the death of Israel.

    That leaves Israel no choice but to kill the Palestinian murders first.

    If, on the other hand, the Palestinians actually quit murdering Israelis; the Israelis would then be able to quit their military strikes.

  • Fred Barnes should be dickslapped.

  • LedusZeppelinus agree 100%

  • Livni makes me want to puke. Gaza is an open air prison, and pointing a first rate air force at a massively overcrowded ghetto is kinda indefensible. Invade like you got a pair or don't. Bombing the shit out of captives takes Israel's moral high ground an even bigger joke.

    The Gazans are trapped. They can't flee even if they want to because all the border crossings are CLOSED to them! This is a travesty, and gov'ts in the Arab world are complicit! they will fall, 2009 is gonna burn.

  • And so it begins....

  • This makes all apocalyptic believers giddy I'm sure.

  • The problem is PersonalJesus, is that their going to end up dragging everybody else into the mix.

  • some of the most callous words i have ever heard

  • Come on! Hammas killed only one Israeli in their 80 attacks and Israellies have killed 350 so far! Where is fucking human rights?

    And Hammas did not violate the peace agreement but it finished and both Israel did not want to extend it.

    On the bigger topic....Phalesteninas are kicked out from their homes on daily basis just that Israelies to enter in them. See the Human Rights' reports. It is absoloutly unjustice.

  • THEY ATTACKED 80 TIMES!!!!! Are you mad? 80 times and finally, after saying please stop for the 79th time Israel attacks. Who wouldn't?

  • This is the BIGGEST piece of misinformation I've seen since the election ended!

    Hamas did NOT end any ceasefire! The treaty EXPIRED on December 19. Hamas chose not to renew the treaty because they felt that Israel had not held up their end and eased embargoes on Gaza.

  • and you expect the Jewish-controlled American media to say anything about that?

  • wow...i wonder if the blockade of gaza, which suspended UN shipments of food and medicine, was a violation of the ceasefire.

    this is nothing more than israeli aggression on overdrive.

  • this is a bit off topic, but i wish your channel was a bit more moderate. i noticed you edited the last clip so only positive marks were said about obama.

    i'm an obama supporter and tpm subscriber

  • I support Israel to defend themselves. I feel terrible for the citizens of either side though. I do not know how life is in the Gaza strip but Hamas just continues to be a pain in the ass. Does Hamas represent all Muslims? I am not sure. I do not know much about Islam.

  • hamas is just a political organization/party in the Palestinian National Authority. it gained popularity through funding schools and hospitals, etc. Its deemed a terrorist organization by the united states.

  • Hamas gained popularity with suicide bombings that often times intentionally targeted women and children. They did fund schools and hospitals, but their main operation was military.

  • Hamas is killing Israeli civilians, which is wrong. Israel's response is to kill even more Palestine civilians, which is worse still.

  • Hamas fires a series of rockets into Israeli civilian neighborhoods unprovoked and then Israel let's loose a shit storm on them. WTF DID HAMAS EXPECT WOULD HAPPEN??? Imagine if Mexico fired a bunck of rockets at Texas civilians, what would we do? We should expect Israel to do no less.

  • AMEN!! I co-sign this comment.....i am killacam and i approve that message

  • thehistorysage: Your country have already launched attacks into Pakistan and Syria, Do they now have the right to bomb your country killing a few hundred Americans?

  • I wish I could live to see the day where I can freely say I don't support Israel without being labeled as an anti-Semite. That's probably not gonna happen in the U.S. though.

  • your right antisemitic basterd....you nazi wanna be.LOL i kid i kid,im hoping we can find some kind of balance between the two so we can be and effective mediator.Obama kind of got that cant we all just get along mentality ....i dunno we will see

  • didn't you just do that? Do you feel better?

  • Israel and Hamas keep attacking each other and they are both so damned surprised when the other side attacks back. Makes ya just want to grab the heads of both sides and bonk em together and say, what are ya, stupid? Stop attacking each other!

    Israel could just roll over Gaza. Hamas is like nyah nyah stick in your eye, whatcha gonna do about it?

    Sounds like they are finding out.

  • Hamas had fired more than 1,000 missiles before Israel responded.

    You can't legitimately blame Israel for this.

    If the Palestinians want to live, they can stop killing Israelis.

    Its REALLY that simple.

  • TedinLasVegas : I dont know where you got your number of 1000 rockets but below is the current casualty list:

    ISREAL:2 killed (2 civilians) and 31 wounded (counting only from the day operation starts)PALESTINE: : 313 killed (56 civilians), about 1,400 injured. And one boarder soldier from Egypt was also killed.

    But your right, Palestinians must stop the killing, its not like Isreal have killed hundreds of thousands of Palestinians so far and they have around 5000 locked up in dungeons...

  • Falsare, there was peace for six months. Then you Hamas fires rockets at Israeli civilians. Again I ask, what did you think would happen? Why are we always expected to overlook the instigating actions of the Palestinian government? There was a peace, Palestinians broke it, now they will unfortunately suffer the consequences. It stinks, especially for the average Palestinian who just wants peace. Yet when you elect poor leaders you get poor service. The Bush administration taught us that.

  • thehistorysage: Are you kidding me?

    Isreal did not hold up their end of the deal FOR SIX MONTHS!!!!!

    Meanwhile the people was starving and nothing was done.

    And now Isreal is moving in with Tanks and ground troops like they did in Lebanon.

    Why are we ALWAYS overlooking Isreals actions on the Palestinian people? and you are talking like this war just started but for Hamas andn the people of Palestine its been going on for decades.

    Question: how did Hamas break the ceasefire? Sources?

  • People were starving in Gaza? Sure. And the tunnels Israel has been bombing weren't being used to import weapons were they? Palestine has to do one thing for peace. Stop fighting. That's it. Just stop fighting. They can't handle it though. They always attack first and when Israel attacks them in return they throw up their hands an play innocent. Israel is supposed to just sit around and take rockets being lobbed at their civilians. What a sick joke.

  • Mitt Romney reported that when he was last in Israel, in October 2008, the official count at that time was just more than 1,000 missiles.

    I think if you add up all of the infatadahs, there's more than 1,000 dead Israelis over the past decades.

    Peace is easy to get, just quit killing Israelis...

  • TedinLasVegas: Please dont go there because you obviously dont know what you're talking about. But prove me wrong. Tell me how many Isreali civilians have been killed by Palestinians and how many Palestinians have been killed by Isreali soldiers since the first intifada?

    Did Mitt Romney report that?

  • Ya, that's a good point.

    Why doesn't anybody hear about all the Israeli casualties? Why isn't that being reported? You'd think we would have seen rockets being launched from Gaza killing Israeli women and child by now that justifies this attack.

    Israeli's make it sound as if their the ones under siege, well where's your body count?

  • A bottle rocket flies into an open lot and Israel bulldozes 2 blocks in Gaza. Typical Jew bloodlust.

  • you dont think the blockade of gaza had anything to do with that? for over a month, all of the people of gaza, not just hamas, have been kept prisoner. Unable to leave the borders of gaza, and with UN shipments of food and medicine cut off by the israeli military...and ur suprised that they launched rockets.

    on another note...when did this conflict start for you...when hamas launched these latest rockets.

    israel has brutally occupied the west bank and gaza...people have the right to resist

  • And, WHY THE BLOCKADE?

    Do you think that had anything to do with the hundreds of Palestinian backpack bombers? and the thousands of Israelis killed by the Palestinians in restaraunts and schools?

    DUH!

  • and why the "hundreds of backpack bombers" (although i doubt ur citing any facts, just what you perceive it to be)

    perhaps because israel has undergone a brutal occupation of gaza/west bank.

    wow...you really need to do ur research on how many civilians have been killed on either side. our media is completely bias on this issue.

    go to the sources...the UN, Human

    Rights watch, BT Selem (an Israeli human rights org)

    whenever u choose to start history...israel is always the aggressor

  • Mcalien24: I agree with you except that Isreal is always the Agressor. Maybe on the Gaza/westtbank issue but not on every conflict/inncident they have been innvolved in.

  • thats the only issue i was referring to.

  • "always the aggressor"?

    ARE YOU NUTS?

    The "brutal occupation" is a result of Israel trying to safeguard it's citizens from murderous Palestinians! Its been going on for decades!

    The 1948 separation called for the Palestinians to have their own government and territory and they resorted to refusing the accords and instead began attacking and murdering Israelis - in the Jewish ancestoral homeland!

  • thats an interesting account of history.

    id go back before 1948...and suggest that you rethink where ur getting ur info from.

    an occupation, by definition is an act of aggression. and people have the right to resist aggression.

  • Resist, yes; murder civilians (the preferred method by Palestinians) NO!

    Let's go back to 1500 - 1800 BC then. That is Jewish land!

  • that's great logic, fuckwad. why doesn't your country give the land back to the indians then?

  • funny and yet sad that you say murdering civlians is the preferred method of palestinians...

    look at the historical record...

    go to BT Selem, a human rights organization started and maintained by israelis...go to their statistics page...and see for urself.

    then compare those facts to what has been reported where you get ur news.

    and i wasnt referring to a biblical claim to land...i was referring to actual documentable accounts of israeli aggression in the west bank and gaza.

  • I'm not making excuses for Israel, I'm simply stating that the best way for Palestinians to stop getting killed would be for them to stop murdering Israelis.

    Cause and effect. Decades ago, the Palestinians started by machine gunning Israeli kindergartens and it has escalated to this. All they have to do is stop murdering and the killing will stop.

  • no, u ARE making excuses for israel...and ur defending the indefensible. I agree to the obvious, if both sides stop killing each other, the conflict will end.

    but the conflict cannot even begin to be over as long as one side occupies the other because occupation is aggression by definition...and aggression is war...and after WWII...a crime against humanity.

    and can you give a source for the claim you made about palestinians machine gunning kindergartens?

  • What are you talking about sir? Israel is not occupying Gaza, they haven't been. That's why they've been getting hit with rockets.

  • wow...most ridiculous thing i ever read.

    so ur saying that they haven occupied gaza...and THATS why they are getting hit with rockets.

    that makes no sense.

    first of all...israel does occupy gaza, despite claiming otherwise for the past 3 years. how else were they able to sustain a blockade of gaza for over a month. no international aid was allowed in...food, energy, medicine, all cut off by the israeli military.

    cut off...that is until israel started the latest round of bombing.

  • Occupation? There's Israeli soldiers in the Gaza Strip? Really?

    The Israeli-forced separation is a result of Palestinian suicide bombers.

    The pending Israeli assualt and occupation is a result of the Palestinian rockets.

    The pending war is a result of Palestinian murdering of Israelis.

  • yes occupation...

    keep repeating those israeli talking points...thats what they are there for. for people like you who dont do their own research to "inform" other people like you.

    suppose as you say that israel has no responsibility in this...and that its all the palestinian terrorists fault. why then is israel COLLECTIVELY punishing gaza and the west bank?

    oh and im still waiting for the source on the kindergarten story.

  • Wow, such elitism! Because I disagree with you I MUST be ill-informed or something... Such foolish drivel from you!

    I AM properly and thoroughly informed; THAT is why I take the position I do.

    I'm still waiting for proof of Israeli occupation... There are Israeli troops in the streets of Gaza, are there?????

  • yes...compared to you...i am an elite. both morally and in terms of education. its not arrogance that informs this sense. it is history and facts that let me know ur full of shit.

    so now ur denying that israel occupies gaza? They occupied it for 40 yrs until 2005. man that is just a fact. they claim to have "pulled out" in 2005.

    but the truth is that their occupation never ended...and the best example of that is the blockade. How do you block foreign aid into gaza if you dont control it?

  • No, you are not an elite; you only wish you were.

    The Palestinians had the opportunity for their own state since 1948 and had refused. Israel "occupied" their territory until 1994 to keep order and keep their citizens from being murdered. The Palestinians have only themselves to blame for their predicament. Be respectable and then be respected.

    "foreign aid"? as in crates of guns and explosives that Isreal found being sent to them and the reason for the blockade?

  • and yes...now there are israeli troops in the streets of gaza. as many are calling this a re-invasion by israeli forces into gaza.

    dont believe me...type in israel occupation gaza into google news.

    oh and what about those kindergarteners...

  • Oh yes I'm well aware Gaza claims they are still occupied because Israel built a defensive wall around the place. I suppose after the 400th bus with women and children on board was blown up by a Palestinian suicide bomber the Israelis decided a defensible border might be a good idea.

  • Oh, by the way, if a blockade means that you control the country, you're then saying that we controlled and occupied Iraq since 1992? That we occupied Cuba in 1963? That we occupied Nicaragua in 1985?

    That's a STUPID claim...

  • first of all, a blockade is an act of war. second, yes...a blockade is control. when you control what food, energy, and medicine goes into a country...and you block the borders so people cannot get in or out...

    I would say that is control...and that is a form of occupation.

    israels M.O. since 1948 has been expansion...if they stayed within their borders im sure theyd be ok...but they dont. look at the UN's list of resolutions on israel. its indefensible.

  • Look at the motivations for the expansion: to safe guard their people. For example, they expanded into the Sinai, Gaza, West Bank and Golan in 1967 after trapping and destroying more than 250,000 enemy troops just days (hours) before those troops would've invaded.

    The Palestinian M.O. since 1948, on the other hand, has been murder.

  • No, you are simply saying stuff that isn't true. Israel has returned thousands of square miles of land to Arabs. Land that it had at it's inception, such as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank; and land that it captured in war such as the entire Sinai Peninsula. Those are facts. Yes Israel once tried to put settlers in those lands to maintain it's rights to those lands, but not anymore. I'm well aware of Israel's list of broken resolutions, I also know what Shariah Law leads to.

  • what have i said that was false?

    furthermore...are you seriously justifying israels terrible UN and human rights record by saying that if they dont...we are all under threat of shariah law? seriously?

  • I already pointed out the false things you said about Israel's expansion, by pointing out infact they have lost a great deal of land. Most of it willingly, in the hope of peace.

    No I'm not defending Israel's human rights record, I was agreeing with you on that point. I'm saying Hamas recently began steps to implement Sharia Law, that will make them neither a democracy nor do any good for Palestinians.

  • and still waiting on that kindergarten story...

    but its becoming more and more apparent that you just made that up. which is fuckin ridiculous if you did.

  • Um, it's not an Israeli talking point. Israel pulled out of the Gaza Strip in 1994, it's not like we're talking current events here. It's a fact. Then in 2005 Israel demolished the houses of 9,000+ Jewish settlers in Gaza and moved them out. Gaza is under Palestinian control. Israel is not attacking the West Bank. You simply have no grasp of current events, there's no nicer way to put it.

  • i never said israel was attacking the west bank now...just that the west bank has been a victim of collective punishment.

    furthermore... the israeli withdrawl of 1994 and for that matter of 2005 were only on paper.

    How can Gaza be under true palestinian control when for the past few months they have been under a blockade...The israeli military refused to let UN shipments of food/medicine into Gaza...and you think the palestinians are in control.

  • Why would Israel need to blockade them if they occupied them? Use some common sense. What about those Palestinians having fire fights with the Egyptians? How did the two forces ever meet if Israeli forces stood in between? This stuff is not rocket science.

  • Iran is under a blockade and yet thier country has true Iranian control. The blockade is not what is holding down the palestinian people.

  • and yes "tedinvegas" comments were talking points.

    it goes something like this...

    "the devestation incurred by palestinian civilians is the fault of hamas."

    how ridculous...claiming that it is not the fault of the people dropping the bombs on civilians, but the fault of small terror groups within the population which is causing a much greater power to bomb civilians.

    flip it. do you believe hamas when they say its the fault of the israelis...no. so why automatically believe israel.

  • I don't automatically believe Israel. Hamas proudly admits the rocket attacks on Israel. That's the crux of the whole matter. Anything can be settled via mediation, and diplomacy. Once you attack, you must expect to be attacked. Besides, you make it sound like Hamas is The Labour Party or something. They were a terrorist organization given legitimacy by a vote. I feel awful for the Palestinian people. The actions of their government though brought this upon them. Much like the economy in the US.

  • what do you think the media system in the US is doing but proudly admitting that israel is killing hundreds of civilians.

    i dont think hamas is a good organization but lets be clear. Hamas started as an organization set up to resist israeli occupation.

    truthfully i see both sides as the terrorists. Hamas and the Israeli governemnt.

    But the reason i defend innocent palestinians is because...Every people has the right to resist aggression, expansionism and occupation.

  • Every people do have the right to resist agression, in this case Israel was not the agressor, Expansionism, in this case Israel not only didn't expand, actually relocated a settlement, Occupation, in this case Israel occupied nothing, but maintained a defensive position at its own border.

  • semantics to suit ur ends.

    expansion = relocation

    occupation (an act of aggression) = defense

    well we can disagree on whether israel occupied/controlled gaza from 1994-present. but before 1994 there is no question...and i dont think there will be any question after these events unfold. Israel is re-occupying gaza...and in a devastating manner.

  • It's just a fact. They've lost alot of land. They willingly gave it up. They didn't have to. Gaza and the West bank don't even have to be there. They are there because Israel allowed them to be. I agree with you on the last point, there is little question that they at the very least intend to be in Gaza for the next while.

  • gave up land that was never theirs to begin with?

    and what right does israel have to determine whether or not gaza and the west bank exist?

    what right does israel have to "allow them to be" as you put it?

  • Terribly weak argument. Can you imagine what percentage of international territory was acquired through force? With your statement, all of it should at some point, should be "willingly" relinquished at the demands of the original occupants. That's not reality... Israel acting on their only option.

  • Didn't the Palestinians ELECT Hamas into power?

    Because they did, they bear the burden of Hamas' actions.

  • And what happened after the US encouraged democracy in palestine? We collectively punished them for voting organization into power that was initially set up to resist israeli occupation.

    so we see, that we only care about agreeable democracy...not democracy itself.

    and is it suprising to you that after 40 years of occupation, they would elect a group that has most resisted occupation?

  • An occupation that was designed to safeguard Israeli people from 40 years of Palestinian murderers...

    Again, their predicament is their own fault.

    If they were respectable, they'd get respect.

  • sounds orwellian...

    occupation (aggression) for saftey

    honestly, examine the logic you are using...

    we need to commit an act of war so that these people no longer attack us.

    that is fucking retarded. but it dosent end there...

    then, you blame them for being occupied and resisting that occupation. fuckin retarded.

  • Yes, you are...

    So, the NAZI murderers of 1945 - 1951 were OK to kill US, UK, USSR and French troops that were occuping Germany...?

  • ur example isnt valid...

    Palestine never invaded Israel. If palestine had invaded israel and isreal beat back the invasion and then occupied palestine...then you ur example would be valid.

    but palestine never invaded israel...isreal is the aggressor, much like germany was.

  • No, they didn't "invade" Israel.

    The Palestinians just made a habit out of bombing, shooting and murdering.

    I wonder what we'd do if Mexico started shooting rockets into El Paso, Yuma and San Diego and/or sending over suicide-bombers because they wanted the SW US back...

    Do you think we might just retaliate? Build a wall? Blockade their ports?

  • so you think people make habits of bombing shooting and murdering for no reason whatsoever?

    hey guess what...mexico did resist american aggression, imperialism and claims of manifest desitiny for quite some time.

    ur acting like people dont resist aggression. And that is a ridiculous comparison...especially given that most historians agree that the mexican-american war was an act of aggressive imperialism.

  • Are you asking "What started this?" That would be the 1948 re-creation of the Jewish state - Israel. The Palestinians have long stated that they want all of the land for themselves, that they're not willing to agree to the 1948 separation of lands - which also called for the creation of an Israeli state and a Palestinian state. That is why, the day after Israel was recreated, they attacked and were put down, and again in '54, '57, '63, '67 and '73 - along with others.

  • "Gave up land that was never theirs to begin with." Again, all you are doing here is denying history. The land was indeed their's at several points in history. Palestine was again was a Roman designation. Palestinians are Arabs. This is not their ancestral homeland. There is no such thing as an ethnic Palestinian. This is land they themselves at one point invaded an conquered. The last rulers of Palestine were the British Empire. Before them the Turks. Never, ever was there a Palestinian nation.

  • Tedin, Do we deserve the burden of Bush's actions?

  • Yes, obviously. Afterall, Bush (whether he succeeded or not) was trying to fix the mistakes of previous presidents and the burdens they left us with...

  • According to biblical scripture the children of Israel has been trying to fight their way into the land since the beginning. The Amalikites, Amerites, Philistines, and many other ancient tribes have already Occupied this land. And another thing, The Jews and the Muslims are all Hebrews. They have been having the longest family feud in history. Neither one of them are from this land.

  • The Jews and Muslims are religious terms. Palestinians are Arab, they are not Hebrew.

  • They are descendants, therefore they are all family. The Iranian, Palistinians, Jedans, Iraqis, Israli, etc. New names for old tribes.

  • Iranians are Persian. They're all semitic peoples if that's what you are trying to say. But then that's like saying if Ireland and Norway had a war it'd be civil in nature. Semitic just means their ancient roots come from this same area. Those roots however are long, long ago in a much longer and greater sense than most 'related' peoples today.

  • Yup, I'm Semitic to my grandfather.

  • "in the Jewish ancestoral homeland!" The land was stolen and colonized! Period end of arguement, and it is pure arrogance to think otherwise.

  • Jews lived there for 1,000s of years before General Titus and his Roman legions started their murderous rampage in 70 AD...

    Of course, the Babylonians carried them off into captivity a couple of hundred years prior to that, but they did return 70 years later...

    Or, do we want to go back to the Jewish return to their homeland after 400 years of captivity by the Egyptians...

    That's Jewish/Israeli land.

    KNOW THE HISTORY!

  • Jews were never held captive by Egyptians.

  • Cut the BS dude! Israel was given to the Jews after WW2. People kill me with the tall tales of Europeans born in Africa! LMFAO!!!

  • Israel was a nation LONG BEFORE 1948. The Romans conquered Israel LONG BEFORE WWII. Just because it switched hands in the meantime doesn't make it any less theirs. The Arabs conquered it just like everyone else. They don't have more right to it than the Jews who were there long before the Arabs came.

  • So you believe that all around Israel were Arab and African countries, but somehow in the midst of it all were these white Jews?

  • Europeans born in Africa? What are you talking about? No one has said anything like that, but you.

  • Based on what history Sin? I'd love to read it. Please let me know. We both know it's a complete lie. Unless of course you mean the Arabs stole it from the Byzantines? Palestine never WAS! It was nothing more than the renaming of the province by a Roman Emperor to punish the Jews after their rebellion against him. The whole area was conquered by the Arabs in the 12th Century, from the Kingdom of Jerusalem, a Christian kingdom. History is not on your side. You can't just make it up.

  • Ted, you desperately need to do some research and then do the math.

    Arabian population is growing in Israel and demanding proper representation, which means the Zionist are losing control of Israel. Once that happens this stupid apartheid will end and the Jews will be forced to share the land.

  • Look at how Israel separates it's population, they have essentially created ghetto's for the Arabs which tells me they're well on their way to committing genocide and don't tell they wouldn't did do it either, just read up on the 6 day war.

  • This will never be a problem Pleb, because there are millions of Jews outside Israel who would love to live there and could be moved there anytime. The Jews have offered and offered and offered to share the land. The Palestinians don't want to share the land. They want it all. Israel offered to share the land even after they won the 1948 war. The Palestinians refused. They always refuse and they always attack first. 80 attacks before Israel responded. 80.

  • It is a problem History, Because the Arabs have and will always out number the Jews. There is a huge grass roots movement of, Jews and Arabs, alike who are trying to make Israel a secular democracy where all get represented. The problem is, is that are extremist on both sides that have too much power for that to happen.
