FEARS TO DEATH, do not want to leave their rooms.. for days and night.. and actually - aren`t able to do so!!! So, better you `ll know all the information, Mam..

    Personally - I wish we could live together. But as long as bad people control Gaza`s citizens ...

  • Israel is trying to ETHNICALLY CLEANSE the area it regards as its own.

    Zionist Israel WILL KILL anyone that stands in its way.

    Why is there no WAR CRIMES TRIBUNAL.

    Why is Europe SILENT?

    There are more than two countrie involved.

    I DON'T CARE HOW BIG AMERICA IS.

    EUROPE SHOULD STAND AGAINST THIS INHUMANE ISRAEL\AMERICA PACT.

    Remove America's veto at the UN now!

  • e uma barbaridade que um povo que se diz vitima como os judeus massacrem da mesma forma q denuncian. o que serve de injustiça e vergonha a este povo n serve a qualquer outro/

  • Annie Lennonx for prime minister.

  • Shame Annie supports the Palestinian fashist pigs, Annie like fashists kiling innocent native Jewish children. Will she like it if they also began butchering Londoners and colonizing the place. The Palestinain butchers should go back to their own country and leave Gaza an ancient Jewish city alone. She is a fine musician but supporting Arab Nazism ?

  • @MrAugustus88 That "ancient Jewish city" of yours truly belongs to Palestinians, jsyk.

    God luck in life.

  • We love you Annie Lennox!! Greetings from the Islamic & Arab World!!

    Greetings from states of Peace "the arab world"

  • @salaam123456 The obsession of the Arab countries with Israel, a small chunk of land on the Mediterranean coast, is pathetic! Who would you blame all of your problems & failures on if you actually DID destroy Israel? I guess there's always America, “The Great Satan”, to blame everything on. P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C!

  • Go Annie!! Long Live Palestine!!!

  • it's sad to see that people who once were victims turned into oppressors themselves!

    o p e n y o u r e y e s !!

  • The world knows well about Hamas terror. But it also knows about Israeli oppression as well.

    Israeli public has unlearned to be open for criticism! Also THIS is unfair to the world!

  • Why doesn't she denounce murders made by terrorists FROM Gaza? Very, very unfair speech.

  • Israeli's overwhelming military dominance in the region, combined with under critical support from the US, has given them the ability to kill and oppress the Palestinians with virtual impunity. Watching events in the occupied territories is like watching a little kid being held down by an adult (the US) while a big kid (Israel) endlessly punches the little kid in the face.

  • Thanks Annie for all your help, dont ever give up, we need you.

  • a few ders arrfter? where are we? plymouth in 1791? splice the main brace an' shit.

  • Not only did Israel steal land from Palestinians, they took represtative government from Americans through massive political bribes. Watch my video on KOSHER TAX to see how the zionist war machine steals from YOU every day.

  • Israel is illegally building settlements on stolen Palestinian land. Everyone knows if it wasnt for the billions funded by the USA , Israel wouldnt be able to do what its done in the past and now.

  • Annie! I loooove youu! : D

  • she's not taking sides she's simply denouncing ANYONE who kills innocent civilians. surely that's a cause worth fighting for. people just seem obsessed with having a go at celebrities. she's standing up for a cause she clearly believes in because she hopes it might make a difference. i really don't think that has anything to do with bandwagons or the such. she just cares. which more people should do.

  • @nf00523 If she really cared, she would have made the speech in Gaza, or Syria, or Iran. Oh, but wait, the regimes there would not have allowed it. And why is she not denouncing Hezbollah, Iran, Syria, etc. They are the terrorists. They are the ones who have been killing innocent women and children for decades. 

  • So all you Annie haters, have you seen the news today where Israeli soldiers have admitted the abuses they did during this conflict ? It seems Annie was right - maybe because she educated herself on the facts instead of just reacting emotionally. It's time more people looked at the facts !

  • neo nazis are the israelites financed by the USA

  • Comment removed

  • hamas is not a terrorist movement!!! it's the palestinian resistance!!! they defend the rests of their stolen land!!!!!! and israel is the bigest terrorist ever!!! even hitler was an angel compare to israhell cause he didn't play the victim role!!!!! at least he was frank!!!!

  • Terrorists hide behind innocent children like on Kosovo. Always suffer the innocent people.

  • LOL. She isn't standing up for Hamas. You really are incaple of seeing the true victims of war, aren't you? Only the two sides fighting. Listen to what she actually says. Fine if you're done with her, but let it be for a reason that's true.

  • Satanists love death. The Rothschilds are Satanists. They worship hell, death, and the "harvest" of human sacrifice, mass human sacrifice, they especially enjoy killing children as this gets their rocks off big time. Israel is there, from the beginning, to start world war three. But we are too smart for that. We love each other, all of us, and we are know start to feeling intrinsically that the governments and establishments are our enemies, not each other. Love the Peace Love Makes.

  • dbrowdie ,

    Is that why you think it's okay to commit genocide? She's not ,and I'm not anti american or anti jewish ,we're not insane .You like to see children burn to death ? who's sane , you!!!!????

  • Everyone are your enemies, who spoke the truth about Israel ?

    But what's your problem about that? Are you Jew, and the truth is hurt for you? Or are you a typical stupid american common people, whos brain is washed out by the zionist american media?

    A fact is fact. Israel is a terror state, and IDF is the REAL terrorist organization.

  • what's IDF?

  • Whose NOT anti american these days. I mean, come on. I love Americans, all of them, but I don't like many of the more stupid ones. It's the government however that is the real problem. What's to like about the government? It's just a government. Why are we loyal to governments anyway? They are rubbish corrupt criminal houses where criminals go to espouse their holiness and steal. Love your land, your neighbours, your country. The government is your enemy, love it in a different way.

  • annie, where were you when rockets were falling on sderot?

  • how many people die in sderot by the palestinians attacks in the last 10 years ? (less than 20)

    how many people die in gaza in the last 1 month ? (more than 1000)

    so take back your weak arguments

  • sorry, I'm wrong

    less than 20 jewish victim AROUND gaza (not only in sdreot) in the last 10 years

  • Jesus said : " Let the children come unto me !"

    Israel says : " Let´s go to where the children are - and bomb them to pieces "

    THAT´S the difference between Israel and Jesus : Israel is now a satanic state functioning as the agent of the anti christ - and THAT ain´t no joke, folks !

  • Thanks Annie - you speak from my heart...

  • Well done you Zionists you've just created one billion HITLERS ...............Good luck

  • Dear codyhd717 I just want to tell you that you should go look at the mirror and ask yourself if you are a human or not I really dont think you deserve even to be an animal because animals have feeling and empathy and care about each other.....if you dont know the truth use your brain and find it if you have one..

  • if you are human - you would know that casanova treated women like sheer objects , like absolute shit

    so what other naive, misinformed, premature views do you hold?

  • What about the 10,000+ rockets fired from gaza into Sderot, Israel in the last 8 years?

  • and how many were killed from those rockets? nothing compared to the many killed in Gaza. Since the cease fire between hamas and israel, there have been ZERO suicide bombings and any other violence from the hamas part. there is just no excuse for this unproportional war on a defenseless people.

  • Remember that the rockets are horrible, but you forget that in that 8 year period, I read only one person died, and in the same period 2,700 Gazans died. Now, put that in perspective. I don't think massacres are the response to the situation. Of course, Hamas is horrible, but who helped create them?

  • watch?v=0Il3907pg60

  • the real nazis

    watch?v=IBFBvceJvIU&feature=re lated

  • Why UN fail to stop genocide of Palestinian in Gaza? What UN will do with those criminals and killers will they bring to international criminal court who are behind Gaza mascara. Will this world do justice with the innocent citizen of Gaza? Why the UN Security Council was did so much delay in taking action Gaza? R all UN member took bribes by Zionist to keep silent or to give a long period just in time passing so that ISRAEL could get its goal. Can the people and nation of world trust on UN?

  • i hope for peace and prosperity in that area

  • what happened to palestine 60 yrs ago is alot like the indian removal act of 1830 im part native amercian and my heart goes out to the palestinan people

  • she should shake hands with Vanessa Redgrave

  • prays for Palestinians.....from Paksitan

    Free Palestine

  • Hey ICYWAR havent you ever heard the expression.."Dont strike me with impunity!" Roughly translate means "If you slap my face I will beat the shit out of you" Thats the way to deal with terrorists, then I would bury them in pig entrails just for good measure.

  • Sure, but who are the terrorists?

  • Sure i will answer you

    ISRAELI

  • Well if they are stuck in gaza....send them suitcases and tell them to fucking MOVE!

  • That's some real fucking nerve to tell people to move off the land that's theirs. Get a life.

  • This was a response to: mullahfuqa's comment

  • as a fellow scot like annie, we know what mistreatment is. so if a scot tells you someone is being mistreated, i suggest people listen.

  • The argument that the land of Palestine belongs to the Jewish people seems illogical. If the argument is to be accepted by the western world, then return Australia to its rightful owners - the Aboriginal and Torres Straight Island people. Give back the United States to the Native Americans. The British were experts in bringing in immigrants and systematically displacing the locals (as in the case of Israel) and this is irreversible. So try to live in peace with your neighbors.

  • I fact even this doesn't capture the true irrationality of the argument - the equivalent would be to give Australia to ONE aboriginal tribe whilst expelling the others, the USA to ONE native American Tribe whilst expelling the others. And Aboriginal is an ethnic description, whereas Jewish could mean someone from the Ukraine or New York who has no more connection with Palestine than has a Christian.

  • @bitkois Yes, the Jewish people have played that "o poor me" banner for too long. Playing the victim does not justify getting away with being the bully. Sore losers seems to be the case. Mexicans have still not recovered materially or spiritually from the Spanish/Catholic invasion, but they've dealt with it and are learning to live with it. It is part of how civilizations merge and grow. One must use the past to construct, not obstruct progress.

  • I love you Annie.. I only thought that your songs are been great.. but now i see that your Personality is greater than your songs. Thank you so much and I hope many others will follow you.

    I wish I could bring all these poor Kids a toy to forget the War and Bombs for few minutes :((

    Greetings from Turkey and long Live Palestine.

  • PSYJCHO DELIK SYSTEM NAZI biochip JEWS ANTYCHRIST aka Camden shit

  • ok so ? even if Hamas rockets were bombed in Israel was anyone INjured?? hmm well the media says about 11 to 15 Deaths in Israel ..hmmm wat a diffrence in GAZA by thousands

  • shut the fuck up you traitor

  • Germans who defied Hitler were called traitors too- NAZI!

  • c'est israel qui a rompu la treve en commettant des assasinats ciblés de membres du hamas et en ne respectant pas son engagement de levée du blocus. de toute facon ,plus personne n'est dupe ,le monde entier a compris que la nature d'israel est expantioniste et aussi longtemps que le rapport des forces lui sera avantageux il continuera a s'aggrandir au detriment des palestiniens .modialisation et etats-nations de petites tailles ne sont pas compatibles

  • Why did these people not protest when the hamas was firing rockets at women and children in Israel?

  • A message to all Jewish .. (You are cowards. You stupid. .. You kill children is not the place for you in Palestine is not the place for you in the Gaza Strip. Get out of Palestine. Go to hell, this is your land)

  • I used to love Annie Lennox, now I won't listen to her music anymore, she's nothing but an ignorant bitch!!!

  • shut the fuck up! like she gives a fuck if an ignoramus facist jew is buying her CDs

  • (UN) The United Nation Is Not Fit For Purpose! Our Puppet Government's ( The West / East / North / And South ) Are Not Fit For Purpose! All Are Owned ! (Sold Out) By The Bankster Rothschild Family (Jewish) Fact !.....Ps Kill The Bank's And Free The Sheeple! From Slave Taxes And Debt = Usury Economic's!......The Merchant's Of Babylon The Killer's Of The Just! The Workers Of The AntiChrist The Way's Of The Anti-Life! And The Killers Of Christ!...

  • Sarfried123 - Anti-semitist? Is that a word?

    Apart from that the intelligence of your comment is astounding!!!! -- NOT.

  • I've always loved Annie Lennox, now even more.

  • Me to,"Sweet Dream." Bravo Annie

  • Man, you are a twit. If you think that anyone is advocating foreign policy based on stripes on a flag, you're an idiot. What you say defies common sense. We don't need to give justification to you for our existance. To someone as sick as you, no justification will ever suffice.

  • "israel has never had a stated goal of destroying any member UN state"

    The meaning of the Israeli flag: Two blue stripes representing the rivers Nile and Euphrates, with star of David (Kingdom of David) in between.

    "From the Nile to the Euphrates" it is there on you flag. Its your Zionist ethos, and you go crying to the world, we want peace. You dont want peace, you just started.

    NOTHING you ppl say is true

  • hey dude, its not us saying those things. we are quoting them. israel has never had a stated goal of destroying any member UN state. that ignominius honor goes to your arab nazi friends. btw, are you a nazi or islamo-fascist too?

  • hey sootykettel - do you have any skin in the game? if not, your comments aren't worth a whole lot.

  • Israel: Why no one believes you

    Its not just that you have lied your way into nationhood at the expense of the indigenous population

    Its not just that you terrorised unarmed peasants, who earlier welcomed you

    Its not just that you drove ppl from their homes and farms at gun point

    Its not just that you have shatred and destroyed families

    Its not just that you bombed Jewish businesses and blamed it on Arabs in the 30s and 40s

  • Its no just that you have razed entire villages to the ground

    Its not just that you have created millions of refugees all over the world

    Its not just the massacares in Palestinian villages

    Its not just Dier Yaseen, Beirut, Sabra and Shatilah

    Its not just the hundreds of thousands who died in your countless wars

    Its not just cluster bombs and children with blown up limbs

  • Its not just because millions have lived in poverty in concentration camps for 60 yrs

    Its not just the tens of thousands young men and women languishing in your jails

    Its not just the endless hate mongering between Christians and Muslims

    Its not just that you have dirven a global hate campaign towards Arabs based on lies and misinformation, for over half a century

    Its not just the demolition of homes and thousand year olive trees

    Its not just the checkpoints and the humiliation

  • Its not just the illegal settelments, land confisication and the apartheid wall

    Its not just your nasty online misinformation networks and hate bloggers

    Its not just the turning of Gaza into the worlds larges prison and starving and bombing its ppl

    Its not just because of you created the phony war on terror

    Its not just that you've undermined the democratic system of the USA to your advantage

    But that you still convince yoursleves that YOU are the victims that I find offensive.

  • you really should take a look at a map so you can realize that the 'millions' of arabs you speak of could have had homes in any of the region's arab states. but no - israel, the postage stamp of land MUST go. you really are sick and twisted. Israel managed to absorb refugees kicked out of the arab lands when the country was founded. but oh yeah, the 'palestinians' were such a pain in the tush that Jordan didn't even want them.

  • These Arabs are called Palestinians you wanker. You go crying to America begging for money and stealing technology, saying "they want to throw us in the sea" , "they dont recognise Israel" yet you dont recognise these peoples ethnicity.

    Do you see why no one in the world likes you or believes you

  • There has never been a nation of 'palestine'. Palestine was the name given to the region by the romans when they exiled us from the land. it is take from the name of our old enemies, the philistines.

  • sootykettel:

    Why don't you drag your butt over here to sderot where i can shove a katyusha up your arse. maybe then you'll 'get it'. Moron.

  • Annie Lennox - 4th January 08;

    "I want to make my position crystal clear.

    I am making a plea on behalf of innocent civilians. ALL innocent civilians on BOTH sides.

    Now that Israeli ground forces have entered Gaza, there is only one guarantee.. ABSOLUTE CARNAGE.

    How can this strategy ever contribute to the creation of lasting peace, security and stability for Israeli citizens, Palestinian citizens, or citizens of the world??? "

  • funny how she never protested kassams fired into israel everyday.People losing their lives and limbs .Israel left gaza in 2005 we did not occupy them now.

  • f you want to help stop the Israeli attacks in Gaza please Google ' EU sanctions against Israel '. Sign the petition and ask your friends to do the same.

    You can also help by boycotting any Israeli goods which are presently on sale eg. Jaffa oranges, product bar codes beginning with numbers 729 etc

  • If you want to be on the terrorist's mailing list-sign on the EU sanctions against Israel.

  • You'd better throw out yr computer and not buy another one, cause many of its components are made in Israel. Same goes for a lot of the software you buy. Also, when you need to be hospitalized, don't let them use many of the lasers and other medical equipment-all Israel. Your mobile phone-sorry but a lot of the parts are also made in Israel. If you what to be on the safe side-go live in Afghanistan, and drink oil, that way you'll be safe not to buy Israeli products.

  • oranges ehh? That about sums up yr knowlege of Israel and the Middle East conflict.

  • Oh damn, did I get the fruit wrong. Does anyone know of any genuine ex Palestinian fruit for our friend here ;)

  • The "nation" of Palestine-sorry , I can't find that one in the history books.

  • You're obviously not here to discuss, so I'll keep this short.

    Perhaps when you visit our lovely London, you may want to drag your Zionist arse to our houses of parliament where you'll find a 400 year old mural depicting the crusades of 1190. the caption reads: Kijng Richard The Lionheart sets forth for Palestine...Not Israel!

    There has never been an Israel except for the ever changing political mythology you creeps call 'history'

  • 1190 is modern Jewish history. Try the bible it's 3500 years old and mentions the Jewish nation many times. Even king Richard has read it! No mention of Jolly England in it though!!

    (what a pity)

  • It used be 3000 years? no matter. For 60 years you excavated in 'Israel' and you never found a Tshirt saying "King David Wuz ere". Nothing, Except for some inscription on a rock that was later proved to be forgery, like most of your 'history'

  • What do you suppose that big wall on the temple mount is?  Leftovers from the old MG factory?

  • Wrong again sooty-the discoveries are endless from the Western wall to the Dead Sea scrolls,they've even found the seal of Joseph (not to mention the tombs of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) when he was viceroy to the Pharoah of Egypt-The Reed sea,ancient writings/art works on walls in Egypt that depict the ten plagues and the fall of the Egyptian army in the Reed sea,coins and artwork from the second temple -the discoveries are too numerous to list-but the Muslems don't want you to know that!

  • By the way -I was born in your lovely London!!!

  • ok your meddle is in the post

  • Calling Hamas terrorists & collaborators innocent civillians is like calling al Quieda scum "passenger fatalities" on 9/11.

    Everything I needed to know about the Palistinians & Arabs I learned on 9/11.

  • Bliksem6845

    Why were these people not protesting when the hamas was shooting rockets at women and children in Israel?

    --

    BECAUSE LENNOX AND THE REST OF THESE LEFTYS are anti-semitic haters with israel the excuse for them to come out of the woodwork again. this is what her and the other's 2iq'd daddy and mummy taught them.

  • Why were these people not protesting when the hamas was shooting rockets at women and children in Israel?

  • What about the Israelis living under daily bombs fired by Hamas. Hamas conductes their attempted anti semitic genocide daily from positions beside cililians. What do you suggest they do? The palestinian elected govenrment Hamas want to kill every jew they can. Ms. Lennox, if someone lobbed bombs at your house daily would you not respond?

  • Actually no, there has been very little conflict between Hamas and Israel from their election apart from some minor things until Israel decided to increase sanctions on the Gaza string to the point where if u poke someone enough they will snap.

    Israel has bombed UN buildings, schools and other citizen buildings and made no international reason for this let alone the fact they are breaking the law of the geneva convention.

  • i think fellas like ya should go thru a briefing on history, and tell annie lennox to shut up!

  • Mrs. Eurythmics - where was your protest when the Hamas religious racist murderers were shooting Fatah members in the streets and were launching rockets that exploded into Israeli homes. When the fellow LEFT wingers like you, the National Socialist Workers' Peoples' Party of Germany in the 1940s dropped bombs onto houses where English men, women and children lived, did England not respond and wipe out the Nazis in Germany? You olde left-wing airhead. Your best days are far behind you now.

  • I still have yet to hear of any Israeli's offering to allow passage to the Palestinians from work to their homes -ALLOW passage ON THEIR OWN LAND - not in ISREAL (which is their land too really.) When are you going to move out of the Settlements - and WHY would move into the Paletinian land and create illegal communities.Then when they get upset about it?-U turn off the water/electricity? Really??? U think that's okay??

    So just-No Change4Israel&acceptance of lack of Human right 4 the other guy?

  • God made a plan before the creation of the world;

    God saved, is saving and will always save His people - Israel and Jewish people will be always protected and those who will try to eliminate them will be s u f f e r !

    I pray for my people to be strong and not give-in to the Evil that surrounding us all over the pages of history...

    Sending my Love and Hope to The good that still exist in this world- I know it is out there, don't you ever stop to believe!!!!

    B E L I E V E !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • you sick, you need new pill.

    God made a plan?? What God??

    ISRAEL - IS for Isis, RA for Amon RA and EL for Elohim! so which god you talking about - worshipper of Saturn??

    Stalin had a good plan for you - Siberia

  • Mr.sariblik: Where was your god's plan when the ovens in treblinka and auswitz were burning millions of jews? There is no god.

    Abraham's god is, we are told:

    1 All knowing

    2 All powerful

    3 All compassionate

    This clearly cannot be true. He knows the suffering(1), he has power to end it(2), but he doesn't(3)?

    I'll let you deduce in which of those three qualities he fails miserably. In which is he deficient? No decent human being would be so callous as your god.

    Your god is a lie.

  • Annie Lennox, you are invited to come to Sderot and understand the Israeli retaliation in Gaza is all about, you should know it, you have families in Israel.

  • Nothing justifies the murder of 700 people! murder is murder!! what happened to an eye for an eye??

  • Barrano, I'm sick of that comment "nothing justifies the murder of 700 people," what about Hamas murdering people in South Israel by their rockets, what about that huh? Have you experienced rocket falling on your house while your children sleep at night? I did, so stop this murder of innocent thing, Gaza people voted for Hamas to be their leader, Hamas should have protected its citizens in Gaza and not use them as human shields.

  • Well i'll change the comment for you,"Nothing justifies the murder if 800 people" Being from Northern ireland i have actually experience of terrorism and murder having lost family members so you cant throw that at me! Israel won't achieve peace and until they wake up and realise like the British government did in Northern Ireland that talks and communication is the only way to end conflict and achieve a lasting peace! is an israel child worth more than a Palestinian one??

  • That only works if both sides are actually willing to talk. Apparently Palestinian children are worth whatever it costs to starp a bomb on them. They don't want a lasting peace with Israel, they want a non-existant Israel. You can't negotiate with someone like that. You talk and they merely laugh at you and see it as a weakness. Until the Palestinian people themelves rise up and ask for a lasting peace and co-existance with Israel. Until then this will go on like two scorpions in a bottle.

  • Hamas whether we like it or not were democratically elected, and it has been the American and Israeli governments who have refused to recognise this. extremist groups are only elected in times of hardship! Building a wall around gaza and creating a massive prison might create such hardship?? What's the alternative to talking? More violence, more death? More wars Israel is forced to walk into? Shouldn't we learn from past conflicts? People said you couldnt talk to the IRA!

  • The reason why Hamas was elected was because people in Gaza were generally tired of a corrupt PA,and saw a social agenda in Hamas.A "social agenda" turned into terror. Never before has a democractically elected regime spewed hate and rockets on a neighboring country. Hamas dsn't recognize Israel's right to exist and only offers HATE and death to the Palestinian people.The Palestinian people need to stop teaching their children hate,and start learning how to help themselves.

  • But is Gaza a country? Is Palestine a country? Surely if it was they would control their own land, airspace, costal waters borders?I'm not here to defend hamas or terrorism but lets not be so narrow minded as to assume that Hamas has no reason for existance!The conditions in which the palestinians live and are kept by israel are to be generous disgraceful, thus breeding this hate that hamas uses to it's advantage! Until a settlement is sought that both peoples can live with the hate will remain!

  • The Israelis have a blockade on Palestine to ensure that no weapons are allowed in to support terror. Every COUNTRY has a duty to defend it's citizens to the max. Although Gaza is not a country, what measures has it taken to better the conditions of it's citizens? Buying bombs instead of medicines, hospitals and air raid shelters?

    I have NO DOUBT, that if the Palestinians were only interested in peaceful tasks, Gaza would be a Haven !! Israel would be the first to invest and develop it!

  • Let's not forget that Israel has a stockpile of illegally held NUCLEAR WEAPONS!!! So it's difficult for israelis to lecture on palestinian primitive (by comparison) weapons.

    Considering that a massive proportion of Gaza are reliant on foreign aid to survive i'm not sure how much they actually have to spend on weapons, obviously i agree that they'd be better spend their money elsewhere. But the economic blockade has failed and more than that caused the death of the innocent not the terrorists.

  • Israel has a stockpile of NUCLEAR WEAPONS exactly.They have had this stockpile for years-they have not used them,nor have they threatened to use them!! They need them for a retalitory strike against Muslim regimes that hold power intact by preaching hatred toward Israel threatening to blow Israel off the map

    before even having the weapons! As Israel waited and allowed Hamas to smuggle in millions upon millions of dollars in arms, their citizens were left to beg for foreign aid.

  • There is an ancient Jewish expression, "If I am not for myself, then who shall be for me?" What does that say when about a society that exhausts all it's own money/resources on guns to kill and then asks outsiders for food? Is this a society that has a future? Is this a society that one can seek peace with?

  • There is also the well known adage "if Hamas were to drop its weapons tomorrow, there would be peace. If Israel were to drop its weapons, they'd be genocide."

  • I think that by the fact Israel has nuclear weapons and has refused to sign the non-proliferation treaty is threatening in itself! I understand that Israel is surrounded by hostile states but it's your policy towards the palestinians that is exacerbating this! You can quote your ancient phrases at me but the reality is, whether you want to accept it or not, Israel will NEVER be at peace until a lasting solution is sought. NOT by military means but by a peace process...

  • What gives you the right to determine what peoples or society have a future? for years bombs, guns explosives and god knows how much else were smuggled into Northern ireland and had devastating consequences! but are we a society that has a future?? the answer is yes, not because of military strenght but through a peace process!

  • It's not a question of what gives me the right, it's a question of looking reality straight in the face. The Irish always identified and accepted the Protestant's right to exist, they wanted the British to respect and aknowlege them. They had to stop the cycle of hatred, but the foundations of mutual respect existed. The Muslems do not accept non Muslims in the Middle East, and want to convert Europe. There is no foundation for a dialogue. It is a religious dogma det. to destroy Israel.

  • I understand the situations are not identical but lessons learned here can surely be transfered to your conflict! I agree, but israel has to show respect to receive respect! I really don't think this war with the death of 800+ people does anything to change the muslim view that Israel belongs... The biggest recruitment into the IRA was always after atrocities by the British like on bloody sunday. Israel's case isnt furthered by creating islamic extremists, many more born by this recent violence.

  • I agree that to receive respect u must show respect. Where do we start though? How can I show the Palestinian respect when all he wants to do is kill me? I'd really sincerely like to know!?!?

  • Israel as a going concern is not sustainable, given its out lay on weapons, military technology, settlement building etc, on one hand, and taking into consideration its natural resources, the enmity of its neighbors and demographic, on the other.

    Israel is simply not sustainable on its own, never was never will be. It doesn't need Muslims to destroy it, and no doubt they want to now, but it needs constant conflict in order to garner support and political sympathy from 'The West'.

  • Is this yr wishful thinking? Israel, as much as it hurts u to know, is a highly stable democracy with very solid economic growth. This is mainly due to it's technological knowhow which is second to only the US, and indespensible, not only to the free world, but to arab regimes as well!

  • Arab regimes? Hamas was democratically elected and the only reason why you call it unstable is that "Israel" wouldnt allow Palestine their electoral mandate. Therefore as Avi Shlaim, Oxford Politics professor and Israeli put it, Hamas turned to the weapon of the weak - terror. Which if im not mistaken, the right to resist your occupier is a UN acknowledged right. Not that anyone (Israel and US) gives a damn. free palestine.

  • They're a bunch of low life terrorist thugs that sit around all day and think of new ways to hate and kill -awesome people!

  • whatevs tubs ;)

  • I don't think you quite understand-this is nothing compared to what the Jews have survived. The Palestinians, before we can even discuss peace with them , must educate their children to love -as the Jews are educated-not HATE and MURDER. No -we won't drop dead, although you'd like us to. We thrive on life!! The Arabs will remain in the sewage they ran into in 1947. No nation can grow on hate . And this hate exiseted lllonngg before the Israelis bombed them.

  • i am muslim no hate towards jews but i will hate israel and will never forget

    eye for eye

  • Thank you Annie for standing up for what is right and going with your conscience. I'm a fan (again)

  • Those 1.5 million that are stuck in Gaza voted for Hamas to lead them to WAR! Gazans have supported Hamas's arming itself and supported the thousands of attacks against Israeli civilians. So when you say that Israel should cease fire this means to Israel should allow Hamas to fire thousands of rockets at its citizens and do nothing. Sorry you should be placing the blame for this exactly where it belongs on Hamas and its supporters. Until then Annie you are part of the problem not the solution.

  • does that justify the attack on civilians , women and children , do you not realised that Israel has broken how many U.N resolution , if you are a Jew and you truly believe in god , you can never justify the death of innocent people regardless of creed or religion , these people are not the goo yen and BTW you are not the chosen people.

  • What about the hamas rockets being fired at women, children and old people! Mmmmmmhhh, we live in a weird world!!! VIVA ISRAEL!!!!

  • Bilksem could not agree more with ya .these muslim cuntz where shooting there ak47s in the air when london was bombed so now the chickens are coming home to roost

  • Bliksem you have no idea what you are talking about you ignorant twat. I would love to see an Israeli tank bulldoze your house and kick you out of your comfortable German neighbourhood, then watch you live off sewage water and be nationless. For a proud nation like the Germans, nationhood is everything! Palestinians have no nation.

    Du bist sehr NAIVE and IGNORANT.

  • From Germany: VIVA GERMANY!!!

  • THANK YOU,ANNIE!

  • For what?

  • What a tramp she is. Let her catch the rockets Hamas fires at Israeli civilians.

  • From Hamas Charter , article 7 , quote :

    "The Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews , when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees ,the stones and trees will say : "O Muslims, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him". Only the Gharkad tree, would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews."

  • From Germany: We are praying for Israel.

  • me me me me me I I I I I all its all about Annie. She thinks she is a female Jesus. Who gave her the microphone. Give her a banner and a whislte and she'll protest against anything

  • 18bites.....the other day, an israeli aircraft hit a UN school in Gaza - the UN stated that no militant was inside the building!! u do the math?!?! the israelis are cold-blooded, the militants are not hiding, israel dont care eho they kill!!

  • parker...thats alot of lying in one comment.

  • Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmad Aboul Gheit blamed Hamas:

    "Hamas are more interested in having the injured serve as pawns in their propaganda war on Western TV networks rather than allowing them to be treated."

    Leading Saudi newspaper Asharq Al Awsat:

    ..leniency with Hamas made the Arab world a partner in the suffering of the Palestinians.

    ..Arab states should call a spade a spade..let Hamas bear the responsibility if only once.
