Get your facts right Mike

[barlover636]

no such thing as proportionalism? by his logic one mental person knocking at my door to kill me constitutes calling out the swat team or maybe even the national guard, no bloomy there is a thing called proportional response your just biased becaused you happened to be jewish and pro israeli

[emoaralso]

Terrorism is redefined by USA to be "attacking USA only"

you still crying over 11/9?? well, ppl killed everyday by Israeli military in Gaza

[awokenamerican]

@emoaralso - we know and the world knows. Justice and truth will win and thse Kazar's (they call themselves Jews), will dismantle and hide one day and will be afraid to say that they are Jews.

[awokenamerican]

[hicama10]

Michael Bloomberg..please enforce your strict gun laws sir and their wont be a need for closing the

gun show loop hole I need to sell my 4 guns to my buddy because Im moving and he is a good guy

[MartenThuren]

The analogy with the policeman about proportionalism is not 100% correct. If a madman is at my door, I wouldn't want the police to blow him and 3 other people away with explosives. The problem with MY analogy is that the gaza people are not citizens of israel. Seems to me that the only way of solving this conflict is to get the gaza people to understand that hamas is the real problem. The west bank does not have the same problems, right?

[aeopmusic]

haha

[tommy444able]

are there jews in israel i thought they were all in the us

[RonnieMcClownFace]

these politicians are all cowardly traitors especially this son of a one legged whore bloomberg;

[asaljohn]

god bless bloomberg. israel u rock

[oldjoe5]

What the hell is the mayor of New York, a supposed American, doing on TV pushing the agenda of a foreign nation?

Deport this Israeli agent. Now.

[awokenamerican]

@oldjoe5 - I agree! What the hell?

[oldjoe5]

@awokenamerican . Where is Bloomberg now? Is he crying for the victims of the latest Israeli murderous assault, including several Americans?

Is this guy an American or an Israeli? The answer is obvious. Deport this SOB

[ua1001]

"Stop lobbing rockets and killing innocent people"

Who has launched more rockets/missiles???

Who has killed more innocent people???

Of course, I'm going to get about 3000 people respond saying, "They were just defending themselves" or "The Palestinians don't exist anyway." Who is the occupier???

Fucking Hypocrites

Buck Floomberg!!!!

[awokenamerican]

@ua1001 - No no...you have many supporting you on this. Don't fall into their trap because some of these bloggers are writing from Isreal and can't spell at all. They are told to blog anyone that is against the raid and killing of the activists. Trace this to the Rothschild who want Palestine which will never happen - NEVER! These evil Isrealites will dismantle as evil never supersedes good and just.

[travisb6464]

I wanna see this jag off say that to a Palestinian.

[hoffio1]

go bloomberg stick it to hamas

[gocanadago123]

this is stupid man...Israel people and England helped them to come to our land Palestine and stay there. you are the biggest terrorist organization on the face of this earth..........Israel, USA and England.

[innsbronx]

While calm criticism is okay, pure hate comments will be deleted, especially white supremacist and antisemitic content.

[lumpfish99]

....and anti-palestinian comments are fine???....by the way criticism of the israeli govt. should be fair right, thats not anti-semitism...

[innsbronx]

still the best comment on the situation i've seen from a politician so far

[SSchwartz93]

this is what everyone needs to here, he is 100% right,

[SSchwartz93]

go bloomberg

[qnzcraze]

go bloomberg!!!!

[bc9021010001]

How is it that of all the Muslims from the middle east that I meet in the US, none want anything but to live in peace, to operate their businesses and raise their families, and all the Israelis I meet speak of Muslims in general and Palestinians specifically as animals who should be slaughtered? No human is an animal. Bloomberg is the one who, when his valuable female employee at his media company got pregnant, he demanded that she "kill it" because it was inconvenient for his profits.

[dallasjewishgirl]

you should live in Muslims countries and learn a little bit of each religion, its like African-American people are not real Africans anymore, because if you study a little bit you would know that almost more than 80% of Africans are Muslims and this is something that people don't know,you should travel and study more. Certain religions and culture have assimilated.

[griswoldjf]

Shalom!!!!!

[lumpfish99]

this bloomberg idiot is a propaganda machine for israel...."They surround themselves with civilians" they are squashed into a tiny area where does this prick expect them to go?

[c9dw2rm8]

This is not Israel Problem that each family bring 30 kids even they have not enough money to feed 2 kids - This is there choices

[meryembes87]

there is no terrorism there is no al qaida. "terrorist" attacks are made from the USA there are just fals flags as the marines call that. terrorist attacks are inside jobs as 9/11

[innsbronx]

To all those people who only claim 20 victims through hamas terror. Let me remind you, that only in the second Intifada (from 2000 on) over 1000 Israelis died through the violence of Hamas and the likes.

Let me remind you that when Hamas took over the Gaza Strip 3 years ago, they killed over 375 Fatah men.

These are facts.

[OsiosLoukas]

No offence, but bloomberg is a former republican and an jew (i do not know if I have to write that with a capital of not srry if I offend anyone), so you could even know his vision on the conflict before you even watched it. Furthermore, it is my opinion that every person dying in this endless conflict is one 2 much. It will only become worse, never forget that in Israel there is a growing fifth column of Israeli-Arabs.

[maroboss2]

fuck u all

fuck u america n fuck u esrail

no god but allah

خيبر خيبر يا يهود جيش محمد سوف يعود

la elah ella allah mohammad rasol allah

you are the terrorists fuck u all .

[bigjstokes]

blahblahblahblahBOOM!!!

[arielteman]

how smart and evolved answer. That's how you want to convince the world of your rights and ability to conduct yourself with human dignity? Very convincing!

[rbjmpp]

Smart man. We must fight Hamas and their terrorism.

[lumpfish99]

you should volunteer.

[Fahasha]

a

Four Israelis have died since [including one Israeli Arab]. 435 Palestinians have died, 2000 are injured [as I write, the Palestinians are still under attack] and the humanitarian crisis still goes on, the bombing continues and refugees are still waiting for justice.

As I watch the unfolding of the pseudo-reality that passes for news, I feel a strange epiphany. Gaza is the last bastion, not only for the Palestinian state, but also for the two state solution. In a strangely self destructive

[shdude38]

Great interview

If only everyone shared Bloombergs view!!

[agcdk22]

Fight terror! Support Israel!

Keep on going Bloomberg.

[aeopmusic]

That's funny that he didn't have an immidiate solution to what Israel needs to do to stop the violence.

Bloomie says they need to stop killing innocent people. Hamas killed less than 20 innocent civilians in the past 5 years. Israel just killed over 300 innocents in 5 days. Israel is not setting the example.

[luv2learntorah]

its not about how many they actually killed, its about how many they are trying to kill

they fire hundreds of rockets into israel daily. if they had better technology it wouldn't be only 5 people. Thats a reason to let them do it?

[bigjstokes]

Hamas prays to god that every rocket they send lands on a Jewish family's home and kills them all. It hopes the tip of each rocket kills Israeli children. I don't believe Israel has these goals.

[lumpfish99]

then how do you explain their occupation? and killing of civilians?

[rbjmpp]

There is no occupation, dumbass. And Hamas uses innocent civilians as human shields, hiding in schools and hospitals.

[lumpfish99]

No occupation!!!! you must be in high school, let me help you a little. According to a UN resolution passed in 1967 Israel are occupying palestinian territory. Read the Un resolution, you can find it on their website in the archives section. Second, Hamas does not "Use" human shields they have been coralled into a very small area. I lived in Tel Aviv for about 2.5 years and went into Gaza frequently. Read before you insult people.

[c9dw2rm8]

UN - who give a shit About the UN?!! - There is 56 Muslims countries in the UN and 100 more Third world countries who support the Arabs (Because they need thier OIL)

and there is only 1 Jewish state member of the UN - Are you really want that somebody will take seriously the UN !!

Where is the resolution of the UN about DARFUR - Where 0.5 millions black Muslims slaughter by other Muslims until now and it's still going on!

[aeopmusic]

Thanks Bloomie. You said "terrorist" more times than you can probably count. Fact: 9/11 and the '93 attacks on NYC were not caused by Palestinians; they were Saudi's, the same country your 401k and large cap funds are invested in for your oil stocks.

There IS such a thing as "proportional response" to terrorism. I like the police officers bit; here's mine, think of it as a giant foot coming down on a colony of ants!

[miracles24]

Thank you, Mr. Bloomberg, for your clarity of thought and for your effective response to the CNN interviewer by personalizing the trauma that Hamas is deliberately causing to Israel, and for commending Israel on their long-suffering patience in trying to harmonize relations as best possible under the situation.

[apverbin]

You people are insane. I am very much in favor of a Palestinian State committed to peace and security with their neigbors but if someone starting lobbing rockets at me and my family I would want my Government to bomb the shit out out of them and anahilate these crazy bastards who have no intention of peace or a recognition of everyone's right to freedom. These TERRORISTS need to be wiped off the face of the planet so those of us who want peace, security and opportunity can do so

[jpbalkenende]

Problem is the 'collateral damage' is the overwhelming brunt of the damage you do.

[6888302]

You can't imagine what is to loose your friends in this war!I know that from where you are it seems like we are the killers but we are trying not to kill innocent people but they. The Hamas,which was democratically chosen by Gaza citizens,are firing missiles and every one of them fried with the only goal of killing innocent people in Israel.Did you know that every time our army is firing bombs on Gaza we alert them first by phones and by throwing them warnings from the plains.

[jpbalkenende]

Well then your government has got ethics as swell as terrorist ETA! How great! Fuck you Israeli monsters. Funny how I went from mildly pro Palestine, to not giving a damn to back again because you assholes are such pieces of shit.

[aeopmusic]

Which explains why they blew up a U.N. managed school that beared a U.N. flag and had GPS grid coordinates given to the Israeli forces! They still hit it and killed 36 people! Majority kids!...!

[ChikkyMonkey]

Michael I applaud you for speaking your mind and not trying to tiptoe on this matter! Hope the Israeli soldiers are successful in their mission to eradicate terrorism. Thanks IDF for caring for the lives of civilians on both sides of the border....

[Elguitarmysterioso]

You said it Mike!

"If you're in your apartment and some emotionally disturbed person is banging on the door screaming, 'I'm gonna come through this door and kill you,' do you want us to respond with one police officer, which is proportional, or with all the resources at our command?"

Think people THINK

[urutodo]

Mr Bloomberg I cannot hear such igonorance from you. The Palestinian had nothing to do with 9/11. However what the USA did to Irak is in a certain way similar. Do horrible things to the wrong people. Israel is showing its evil and inhuman behavior. They just want to wipe of the Palestinians and steal their land.

[benlavan]

He didn't say the palestinians caused 9/11. He was making the conenction that Hamas is a terrorist organization. And look how america reacted to its crisis? Much more strongly then israel.

If they want to steal Gaza, why did they unilaterally withdraw in 2005. Why begin dismantling towns in the West Bank in order to leave that as well. In fact, why would they approve a treaty to go back to the old 1967 borders that the palestinians rejected?

[Beuriah]

Hmm...is that a fact that Israel is evil and wants to wipe out Palestinians and steal their land? Israel fought for the land in 1967 when your people attacked it but for the aake of peace, yours and theirs they disengaged this land back to you. In return, your people continued to make war. Israel alwasys provides humanitarian aid to your people. Israel plays fair....your people are led by deceivers. Satan exists among militant Islamics and needs to be sent back to hell!

[dallasjewishgirl]

good comment!

[ermias619]

It is crazy people who survived a horrendous act of humanitarian crime will DO Humanitarian crimes to this magnitude. I dont think the Holocaust get out of jail free card is going to work forever. I already see cracks in the political Alliance with in the states and from Europe to Asia—etc. The real problem is the coward MUSLEM leaders sitting on their skirt / dress, who just sit with their thumb-up their ass. And Bloomberg is showing his real color.

[benlavan]

It's not cowardice. These muslim leaders are trying to remove extremism as a legitimate form of protest and government, both at home and abroad. They don't support Hamas because their methods are unacceptable to countries that value their stability. As much as the Egyptians dislike Israel, they can trade and negociate with them, and they have. There's a reason the border with Gaza and Egypt is closed and is always very closely watched. Think about it.

[pertolongan]

Yes i agree that Hamas fired 7000 rockets within 8 years which killed 11 civilians but can i ask the Americans what would they do if the Russians invades America and relocate the population in a concentrating camp,and they become the authority, what would the Americans do? the answer to that is simple, Hiroshima,Vietnam,Iraq,Afghani stan perhaps?

[mcalien24]

supporters of israel always talk about the threat israel is under. "peoples lives are at risk"

this rhetoric still continues even as israel blockaded gaza, bombed gaza, and ready to re-invade.

[triumphelf]

The Koran teache's Hate toward's the Jew's,If Isreal don't stnd up Toward's Hamas ..Who Will!Hamas broke the Peace Treaty!Not Isreal.

[jpbalkenende]

Israel broke the reaty. They bombed some tunnels. Hamas started firing rockets after the treaty expired (which had already been broken by Israel). At least this is what I have gathered from official sources at hand.

Still Israel is killing more civilians than Hamas. And that is what matters at the end of the day, 'intentions' be damned. Imagine that a democratic government is killing more civilians than a terroristic organization. That is pathetic and inexcusable.

[benlavan]

then you've gathered wrong, as all major news organizations have confirmed that is was hamas that broke the cease-fire and Israel that is responding. The issue for most of the international community isn't whether the response is justified, but rather that it is too strong. The relative numbers of people being killed does not tell you who is right, merely who is more effective. If terrorists hide amongst civilians, any response against them will have collateral damage, a sad but inevitable fate.

[jpbalkenende]

Poor Israeli's forced to throw bombs among civilians, so inevitable... You sir are pathetic.

[benlavan]

Actually, yes. The choices are do nothing, therefore allowing an implacable enemy to continue tossing tens or hundreds of rockets a day willy-nilly into your cities, or respond. Any response will cause a humanitarian crisis, especially when Hamas' armed forces literally work from within civilian populations--this is not a debatable fact. The idea that war or violent conflict is a pipe dream. The idea that terrorism is an acceptable means of protest is also a dangerous belief.

[jpbalkenende]

Taliban probably didn't intend for Al Qeada to bring down the twin towers. In the same vein I don't give a damn if Israel says it doesn't intent to kill innocent civilians. It kills truckloads of them, fuck Israel. I hope the EU (their biggest trading partner) soon boycots these pieces of shit. Until they stop this excessive killing anyway. If they want to kill Hamas leaders they can do it the cleaner way like Mosad did after Munich.

[inforevolution]

We support you Israel

[iashry]

no no no only you....

[Shmilfke]

I think we can all agree on at least one thing:

The CNN anchor is a moron. Gosh, some of her questions are beyond stupid. Made it easy for Bloomberg.

[zoubiklawi]

Amazing vid...this guy is so smart and clear....

[cleaningservices]

Bloomberg should be a President!!!

[jennych770]

what I have to say to all you Jew hatters out there is SCREW YOU AND DROP DEAD. Because for the first time in many years I am actually proud of Israel and what they are doing, and to them I say, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BECAUSE ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!!

[jennych770]

For the past few months, day after day, rockets continuously land in Jewish towns; on schools, nurseries, prayer halls and many other such "military locations". Yet for some reason the U.N., E.U. or any other international committee haven't even had a thought about mentioning the rockets, forget about condemning them.

[innsbronx]

Bloomberg is a great politician! I wish there were more political leaders like him, who are not afraid to speak out the truth!

[ermias619]

Where is the New York Muslim community outrage, representing them talking on the behalf of them about the massacre of Palestine? I think need to organize and protest until he resigns. He has no foreign policy role in his office, for him to blab his opinion. What a f**N moron.

[innsbronx]

there is no "massacre of Palestine". Oh wait there is, a product of your hallucinations I guess?

[ermias619]

Where is the Muslim public Outraged,the mayor representing them talking on the behalf of them for the massacre of Palestine. I think should organize and protest until he resigns. He has no foreign policy role in his office, for him to blab his opinion. What a f**N moron. Where are the real Muslem MEN??

[biped19]

If it is about terrorism he should support the Palestinians. Bloomberg is another traitor to America that supports the murderous policies of the Zionist regime. what is sad are the fake American sheeple below me who think Israel is the victim with its F-16 fighter bombers (made in the USA), bombing civilians who have been jailed into a little piece of land called Gaza. Bloomberg is a shitty Praetorian major who raises taxes and takes unjust credit for low crime rates.

[YacartDotcom]

Such clarity! He should run for federal politics.

[lcecmmkp]

Awesome!!! Mayor Bloomberg should be Mayor for life.
