  • funny does mr. ellison speak out about violence in middle east and africa against christians and the hundreds of thousands that have been slaughtered

  • thankfully there were only 4 victims on the Israeli side. its equivalent to saying that for Israel butchering 250 palestinians is a justified bloodbath in avenging each civilian victim. For journalists who support the refrain that hamas is the reason for this genocide i would like to remind them of Richard Falk, special rapporteur for human rights at the UN, who states that it was in fact Israel that broke the ceasefire in nov when no israeli victims had been recorded 2 months before or after

  • God he is such a fucking moron 

  • @joelomite No, I'm RIGHT and you are LEFT with your lies and shit logic that we / IzraHell are entitled to ethnic cleansing, murder and pure filth based on our "contribution to the world" as you eloquently vomited.

  • I'm sick of morons like Keith Ellison trying to be "equal-sided" who totally ignore the fact that Palestinians voted in Hamas. They KNEW who they were voting in, so it's their fault they got bombed when Israel RETALIATES for shitbag Hamas parasites.

    Piss off Mr. Ellison, as well as you other Palestinian Leg Humpers.

  • @Joelomite oh yeah dipshit? what about the israelis who voted in the israeli gov officials who started bombing the palestinians before hamas was even created? so israelis get to have a democracy and its all good, but when palestinians havea democracy, oh they voted for the "wrong party", well im sick of people like you who are completely biased, even tho hamas policies are horrible, israels policies are even worst, what kinda retaliation is bombing hospitals and schools?

  • @EnterTheTruth Have you forgotten the MANY times Israel gave up land? Remember giving up Gaza, S. Lebanon, Sinai desert, West Bank. But they get no thanks, only rocket attacks and "Death to Israel" chants. Palestinians INSTIGATE attacks, Israel RETALIATES to them.

    If Palestinians drop their weapons, there will be no war. If Israel drops their weapons, there is no more Israel. Palestinians need to stop blaming Israel for their ills. It will make things better for them.

  • @Joelomite yeah sure, the palestinians should thank israel for leaving them Gaza & the West bank hahaha thats hilarious dude you have no heart seriously, like 18 people a year die from Hamas rockets & like 2000 palestinians die from Israels senseless bombing, including a huge amount of children, but you dont care about those palestinians women and children, whether you know it or not, you believe that the blood of an Israeli is more valuable than the one of a palestinian, these are all humans!

  • @EnterTheTruth shut up with your ass backwards logic. The REASON so many Palestinians die is because they're used AS HUMAN SHIELDS by the Hamas dogs. Israelis build shelters for their people, that's why few of them die. Don't you DARE tell me I have no heart when Palestinians cry "death to Israel" and they cherish death more than life, you damn hypocrite. Palestinians have proved time and again that they HATE ISRAEL and will do WHATEVER they can do murder Israelis. Piss off already!!!

  • @Joelomite From the Diary (p.72) of Italian activist V. Arrigoni who lived in Gaza: "the settlers sitting in the lounges of armchair politics harpnon about military strategies against Hamas. Meanwhile we are being literally massacred out here, they bomb hospitals yet some still champion Israels right to self defense. In any civilized country, self defense is proportionate to the attack, in 20 days we counted 1075 dead palestinians, 85% of whom were civilians. 303 children atrociously massacred"

  • @EnterTheTruth I don't trust Arrigoni. He himself was killed by the people he tried to defend. He was just a pawn like the rest of the Palestinians and defended the wrong side. You're smarter than this....

  • @Joelomite LoL Arrigoni was killed by peice of shit lunatic fanatics that were hunted down and killed by Hamas (or atleast the suspects), he defended the palestinian people, not religious fanatics as he was always against. the only reason u wouldnt trust him is that his story (as well as the story of many others) contradicts your story about Israel being a peaceful nation who loves everybody and only wants to "defend itself against terrorists", yeah sure by bombing families, schools, hospitals

  • @EnterTheTruth I'll compare the situation to a marriage. Husband and wife don't always get along, but it's better to TRY to talk things out, instead of throwing things at eachother. Although one party may rightfully be angry, their side doesn't matter if he/she solves the problem by firing a shotgun in the other one's head. Maybe it's a crazy comparison, but it's similar. Hopefully this strange "marriage" will be less violent, and both sides can laugh about this one day :-)

  • America needs to stop sucking its masters' cocks and gulping down their shit from tel aviv!! I can't believe america is getting flushed down the toilet for a fuck little terrorist state called IzraHell by its double agent Kikeroaches on the hill!!

  • @ameshabyebye you're wrong. It is the giant Arab cocks that Obama must remove from his gaping mouth. It is Pig-Swine Palestine and the Scuz-lim jihad bastards that he is bowing down to. Israel has contributed to the world in military, science, agricultural and other areas. What have the Palestinians contributed? JACK SHIT. Oh wait, they have contributed, lies, yelling, screaming, murder, bloodshed and sheer hypocrisy..

  • he cries for everyone BUT the people his religon have murdered

  • Only a fucked up state like Minnesota could have such a cavalcade of turds like this asshole and Al Franken. What are you people trying to prove up there?

  • He said absolutely nothing

  • @chavruta2000 send this nigger back to shitlam Bukhari:V4B52N220 "Allah's Apostle said, 'I have been made victorious with terror.'"

    Qur'an:8:12 "I shall terrorize the infidels. So wound their bodies and incapacitate them because they oppose Allah and His Apostle."

  • @chavruta2000 hes a fucking muslim fuck islam -Qur'an:8:57 "If you gain mastery over them in battle, inflict such a defeat as would terrorize them, so that they would learn a lesson and be warned."

    Ishaq:326 "If you come upon them, deal so forcibly as to terrify those who would follow, that they may be warned. Make a severe example of them by terrorizing Allah's enemies."

  • Did anyone notice how, when speaking about Gaza, he uses the term "WE". This American Congressman represents American? I say not...ship his ass to some other country, preferably an Islamic one where he is slaughtered for being a HOMO peice of shit PIG!! And maybe they will stone his transvestite wife to death!

  • @militiamommy lol you are pathetic. go away.

  • Barb Davis White is challenging Keith Ellison in Democratic primary on Aug 10th. That would be awsome because anyone can vote in a primary in MN regardless of party affiliation. All you need to do is go to your polling place and say:

    "I'm here to vote in the Democrat primary" and they give you the ballot, Wow!

  • The Truth hurts ! What we all want to see justice !

  • @michiganrag as much as I would LOVE to see this happen, the demographic realities of minneapolis is that it's not gonna. The only way to ever get this nutcase out of office would be through a primary challenge within the Democratic party with a strong emphasis on national security and his insane votes on this issue.

  • When the Palestinians learn to Love their Children more than they Hate the Jews, there will be Peace!

  • Israeli politicians don't are what Palestinians feel. That's a ridiculious point to claim

  • Again, when the Palestinians learn to love their children more than they hate the Jews, there will be Peace!

  • When the Israelis stop teaching their children that Arabs are inferior to the Jews, there will be peace.

  • @mingalabaa When the Arabs stop teaching their children that the jews are pigs and monkeys, maybe there will be peace, but I doubt it. Islam is a totalitarian ideology and we all know what their agenda is.

  • اللعنه على الكيان المسمى باسرائيل .....

  • Hamas are no choir boys, they are repressive, and i have seen vids where they are shooting their own ppl, i dont like arab fascists. i dont like any fascists, But it also seems that Israel doesnt want a palaestinian state, Lets be truthful,

  • @zl1vette427. My Friend, please wake up. Israel cannot forever occupy and terrorize the Palestinians. Israel better go back to 67 border otherwise it will cease to exist. If the IDF is SO brave, so tough, tell them to attack Iran...not these poor, defenseless Palestinians whos most advanced weapons are rockets made from traffic lamp posts. Watch! Iran will emerge as a new regional Super Power.

  • Israel may well eventually need to stop Iran. But whatever weapons the Palestinians have, whatever they're made of, they are aimed at Israeli CIVILIANS, and thus, THEY are the ones doing the "terrorizing." The MOMENT they stop the rocket fire and genocide attempts, they'll NEVER have anything to fear from Israel. Israel will be only too happy to go back to '67 borders when they know these territories won't simply be used as bases from which to launch further genocide quests.

  • Adeal you are correct and the terrorists hide behind civilians and then wonder why they are killed. The palestinians urge other muslims to join the fight over this issue that has gone on for far too long. Can you imagine if the rest of the world never got past losses. If the rest of the world viewed things the way the palestinians did we would all still be at war they need to put it behind them. We don't need senators with muslim motives involved because israel has been pounded for years.

  • the world should not be behaving like that?. They would'nt have got away with it if there's Internet. Now, with the Internet, oeople r understanding what the true face of Israel look like. If Israel doesn't pursue a peace process genuinely, .... See Finklestein's "The Coming Break up of American Zionism".

  • @mingalabaa Oh and the palistinians are peaceful and wonderful people? the facts are that Israel was given the land and it was understood and accepted by the rest of the world but the muslims decided they needed another cause to fight about.

  • @ach5330

    Why should they? They have the land as a spoil of a war that was waged on them in a surprise attack on their Holliest Holiday.

    If the Jews had attacked the palestinians while they celebrated Ramadan or the Eid, there would have been a brutal outcry and massive hate rallies and followup attacks.

    Hypocrites like Ellison need to stop the Propaganda!

  • We are aware of the situation in Gaza, Mr. Ellison. Hamas insists on putting rockets and military armaments in schools, hospitals, etc. HAMAS and the Palestinian people bear direct responsibility for bringing Operation Cast Lead to Gaza. Stop the attacks, negotiate for peace, and start compromising. You're not getting the 1967 borders -- you had 20+ years to get them and you declined. That ship has sailed. Ditto reparations, the Right of Return, and other demands.

  • Not to mention that they had the chance in '47 to get a LOT more than the pre-67 borders. Israel was only too happy to accept the shortchanging of three disjointed slivers of desert land they were being offered in the '47 plan, but even that wasn't small enough for the Palestinians. Decisions have consequences, and it's time they learned as much.

  • Ellison is a disciple of Louis Farrakhan and other Islamic extremists. He is a definite 5th columnist and could not get security clearances based on his past and previous associations. HUAC should be investigating him. Mr. Ellison fails to understand that LOSING WARS HAS CONSQUENCES and his size lose repeatedly. Israel is not going back to the 'Auschwitz Borders' of pre-1967. If Mr. Ellison doesn't like that, he leave the U.S. and move to the Middle East. God Bless Operation Cast Lead.

  • Ok. Mr. Ellison. Yes. The deaths of any person is a tragedy. All human life is precious, no matter what race they are.

    Having said that, there was no need for any of this bloodshed or suffering to occur, on either side. The Arabs should have respected the rights of the Jews to their state in 1947. If they would have simply done this, there wouldn't have been any wars.

    P.S. Kucinich is a whack job on foreign policy

    But most Muslims are extremely, anti-Semitic and racist. That is the problem.

  • Indeed. And by the way, Kucinich and his ilk aren't just whack jobs on foreign policy, but also on domestic anti-terror measures such as intelligence reforms. I could support a more non-interventionist foreign policy if we still had the tools in place that allow us to uncover terror plots in the works in time to stop them in their tracks, but generally opposing military action goes hand-in-hand with opposing intelligence reforms and common sense (read about the John Doe protection for example)

  • Has Ellison ever publicly commented on the Somali muslims from Minnesota "disappearing" and showing up fighting with muslim terrorists in Africa?

  • I've met the man, as I have the misfortune of being represented by this fool (through no fault of my own, I assure you), and I asked him abou that--he just denies up the wazoo any possible connection between the Minneapolis mosque that they found those men associated with and the terror networks in Africa and has rejected outright any investigation into this. He is the biggest obstructionist in Congress with regards to the War on Terror--worse than Kucinich, and he needs to be exposed.

  • Israel then made the unsubstantiated claim that someone was shooting from near the UN school so we were justifed in blowing it up -- as if, even were that true, it would justify killing all those kids.

    They then throw out their classics, hamas is using human shields, almost all of those killed were terrorists, etc. None of which are ever substantiated.

    Why do you believe Israeli claims about the dead being terrorists? About Hamas human shields? No evidence to support and a pattern of lies.

  • Actually that claim was 100% true and fitting perfectly with Hamas's patented tactics. Again, even media outlets that don't distinguish between terrorist and civilian casualties acknowledged that fact. They're "classics" because they 100% true. And I believe them because they are FAR more than just "Israeli claims"--they have been substantiated by NUMEROUS other sources--unlike your Al-Jazeera terror applauding propaganda. I notice you fail to provide me with an outside corroborating source

  • 100% true in your mind -- no proof or even evidence ot the truthfulness of Israeli claims in the real world.

    Do U even see the difference?

  • nope, not my mind, everyone who's examined it other than the terrorist cheerleading propagandists at Al-Jazeera. Plenty of evidence if you look anywhere other than where you're looking.

  • If Hamas isn't using human shields, then why were those neighborhoods still full of civilians when they had been warned repeatedly to leave?? It's either that, or they chose to die to make themselves "martyrs" in a fight to destroy Israel, which I suppose is possible as well. But the fact that Israel is the only army in the world that gives civilians the opportunity to evacuate targeted areas before any anti-terror operations are taken is well documented and irrefutable.

  • God bless him

  • Shihab talks like Prince Charles (of Britain). He pulls his mouth in some funny shapes. Euuuugh.

  • Okay...so it is completely acceptible for innocent people in Israel to be terrorized by rockets from PLA and the world stays strangely quite, but just let Israel say enough is enough and the world that way strangley quite suddenly speaks up?

    This guy is so clueless...as a muslim why don't he move his ass over to 'Hamas town' Palestine and change their government. It's a game...a war of attrition. Islam is wearing the world down with all their savagery and we just keep negotiating. Insane.

  • You are an ignorant ASSHOLE.

    Go SHIT on yourself you "Ingachode".

  • LOL... Your off the wall response to my post shows just who the ignorant A-hole truely is. I am sorry for you that your heart is filled with somuch hate and vileness.

  • Why don't you get your Israeli loyalist butt out of the USA? And tell your nation to get it's hands off the US congress and mass media? You are a disloyal traitor to the uSA

  • I don't know if that statement was directed at me, but I have no disloyalty to the USA--I simply recognize that it's pretty damn smart for the U.S. and Israel to stand together in this fight, because our enemies are one and the same. Everyone who wants us destroyed also wants them destroyed, and vice versa. That's called pragmatism, for two nations under threat from the same enemies to work together to fight them.

  • USA gets no benefit from its relationship with Israel.  Their hand is deep into our pockets and they have gone well beyond interfering with out politicos and media. They create millions of enemies for us and spill our blood in their imperialist wars.

    You are indeed a traitor to the USA

  • You better believe we do. We get a second front of military power to fight the same enemies who desire us BOTH to be wiped off the map. Might want to look up the definition of "imperialist" again, because that sure as shit doesn't describe Israel. They have NO desire to colonize ANYONE, nor add to their already limited territories. Just to stop the CONTINUOUS BARRAGE of civilian-aimed rockets they've been hit with ever since they (unilaterally, by the way) left Gaza. Learn the FACTS buddy

  • When the USA finally passes the parasite Israel from it system (hopefully before we are fully ruined), then we will see how powerful and arrogant Israel is.

  • Israel's plenty powerful, but not at all arrogant. Nothing arrogant about not tolerating ROCKETS AIMED AT YOUR CIVILIANS!!!!! Nor are they ANY "parasite"--for reasons I've explained over and over again--you can't deal with those facts, that's not my problem. And this country and Israel will NEVER abandon each other, because that would be called GIVING IN TO TERRORISTS--something neither we nor them will EVER deem acceptable.

  • Israel is weak as a puppy when their host, the UA, gets well and rids itself of the parasite

  • You want to go on believing that, fine, but neither the basis for your comment (the parasite bullshit) nor your contention of Israel's "weakness" have ANY basis in reality. So Israel has gotten financial support from the U.S. (So have the Palestinians, by the way, plus even more from Europe)--difference is, Israel used their money to build a legitimate army and a thriving infrastructure.  The Palestinians used THEIR money with which they could have done the same things to FUND TERRORISM!!!!!

  • Israel's Lobby has US congress by the balls and, while most won't say it in public, everyone in DC knows it to be true.

    The good news is that the media is beginning to acknowledge this and the american people are becoming aware.

    For a US senator to not support whatever Israel does is currently the end of his career. The day is not far off when support for Israel will be the end of one's career. When Israel loses the US, it's over. The arabs will treat the Jews much better than they deserve

  • No need for anyone to have anyone by the balls because we SHOULD be supporting Israel, because they're the ones who try NOT to kill civilians in their operations, unlike the Palestinians, who try to kill as many as possible. Keep on living in your fantasy world where we will abandon our much deserving ally. You'll be waiting a LOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNG time buster

  • Sorry. I go back the facts and the stats and do not buy into the ludicrous spin that israel puts on everything.

    let me ask you this.

    How does continuing to expand the illegal W bank settlements (illegal per the UN and international law) fit into the whole Israel is defending itself narrative?

  • Yeah, the "facts" you got from the pro-terror propagandists at Al-Jazeera. The real FACTS are not spun by Israel in any way, in fact these days, most of our media is closer to Al-Jazeera than anything. You uninformed freak, Israel has committed to DISMANTLE all illegal settlements. Even so, the Palestinians were trying to destroy Israel LONG before there was a SINGLE SETTLER in any of those territories. Get with the fucking program!!!!

  • You seem to forget that Israel drove 700,000 Palis out of their homes as soon as they became a state and that they also expanded their original territory immediately

    Israel has not only not commited to take down any settlements (and they are ALL illegal per everyone in the international community -- even the puppet US) they have vosed to continue to build new ones (as they are doing this very minute)

  • No sir, what YOU seem to forget is all the people who were driven from their homes were driven out by a WAR that the ARAB NATIONS STARTED!!!! the MOMENT Israel was declared a nation by the UN. That territory was seized as a war prize--a practice that is as old as time. They don't try to prevent Israel from ever existing in the first place, they don't have ANY of these problems. Their plight is ENTIRELY self-inflicted! And they most certainly have committed to take down any illegal settlements

  • It was also ILLEGAL per everyone in the international community to ATTACK THE NEW NATION AS SOON AS ITS EXISTENCE IS DECLARED BY THE UN!!! They made their own bed, now they have to sleep in it. Maybe this time they'll choose statehood over Jew slaughter, now that Israel has once again done backflips to accomodate them yet again by promising statehood the MOMENT they RENOUNCE TERROR AND RECOGNIZE ISRAEL'S RIGHT TO EXIST!!!!!!!

  • hi adeal416, no oj5's statement wasn't directed at you it was directed at me. I do see that you already responded to him beautifully...couldn't have said it any better myself. Thanks

  • Thank YOU. I'm more than happy to put anyone in their place who speaks about the situation as ignorantly as this joke has been doing

  • it belongs to palestinians ,the jews that came there in 1948 were from europe,80 percent of them

  • No, actually it belonged to the British since World War I, and Jews had been there for centuries, some trickled in during WWII and after, but the U.N. plan of '47 would have given both sides their fair share. The Jews accepted their fair share, but the Arabs chose Jew slaughtering over statehood--when you make that choice, you suffer the consequences. Because you don't get both. When the Palestinians renounce the former, they just might get the latter.

  • uncle bam hasnt talked about Gaza at all! Uncle bam licks and cleans more jew ass than kosher toilet paper

  • Because most of the American public (rightly) supports Israel's right to defend itself, so even if Obama actually is anti-Israel (which I don't think he is, just a little naive about what it takes to fight terror) he could never get elected talking like the terror apologists like those on this board.

  • How are expanded illegal settlements and apartheid walls self defense?

  • Because they aren't 'apartheid walls' you sick, uninformed fool. They're SECURITY WALLS!!!! designed for ONE PURPOSE ONLY. STOPPING WEAPON SMUGGLING!!!!!!! The second that stops, those walls come down. Nothing 'apartheid' about that. As to settlements, they were trying to destroy Israel many years before there was a single settler in those territories. So how about they stop their terrorism, and THEN we'll deal with settlements. FAIR ENOUGH!!!!

  • What weapons? The only weapons evident in israel's murderous onslaught in Gaza were those being used by Israel on the defenseless Gazans. Quite apparent gaza has no real weapons.

  • Uhhh, that would be the ROCKETS and SUICIDE BOMBERS' weapons who use it with the DELIBERATE purpose of slaughtering as many civilians as possible. Israel, on the other hand, attempts to get defenseless civilians OUT of any areas where Hamas terror strongholds are using them as human shields before they take ANY military action against them. Funny thing about something being "murderous" is it requires a little thing we who know the LAW call INTENT to kill civilians--something Israel doesn't have

  • Phrased another way, so maybe your thick-headed skull can grasp it, you call the Gazans "defenseless"--well they wouldn't NEED any source of "defense" if they would knock the fuck off with their OFFENSE!!! The moment they stop THEIR (and THIS is the proper usage of this term) MURDEROUS (a.k.a. civilian TARGETING) campaign of terror, ALL violence stops. The moment ISRAEL stops fighting that terror, THEY would CEASE TO EXIST!!!!!

  • When Hamas did in fact stop their pathetic "offense in the summer and fakll of 2008, Israel used the break to plan and launch a massive murderous attack on Gaza

  • They never DID break their civilian targeting offensive. They were continuing to barrage Israel EVERY SINGLE DAY with those rockets. Once again, you fail to understand the definition of "murderous"--if you're not TARGETING civilians (which anyone telling themselves the truth recognizes that Israel most certainly is not) it's not "murderous."

  • You really don't know the facts, do you?

  • I think we Israle can kill over 1,400 people whlie losing only 12, 6 of whom were felled by Israeli friendly fire, the term defenseless to describe the Gazans does not need sarcastic quotations around it

  • Well over half of those deaths being members of a group of monsters known as HAMAS!!! Nice little fact you inconveniently left out--another one being those who were not Hamas members were 1. NOT THE TARGETS and 2. GIVEN AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO EVACUATE, thus pinning their deaths SQUARELY on the monsters who trapped them in their neighborhoods so they could use them as human shields an blame their deaths on Israel and get gullible fools like you to buy into it. Fortunately most of us don't buy it.

  • The "sarcastic" quotations were to make the point that they WOULDN'T NEED ANY DEFENSE IF THEY WOULD KNOCK THE FUCK OFF THEIR OFFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I'll give you still another example so simple that even your challenged brain might be able to absorb it. Say on 9/11 our military had shot down the planes before they reached their targets. (I can understand why they wanted to give those poor souls on those planes EVERY opportunity to overpower the hijackers) but let's say they did. Would our air force have been the "murderers?" NO!!!! THE PEOPLE WHO HIJACKED THE PLANES WOULD BE!!

  • So your argument is what? The IDF is not responsible for all the people they kill because why? It is the people's fault -- because they are alive?

  • Your reading comprehension skills are even worse than your sense of logic. NO, that is NOT what I said. I said those deaths are HAMAS'S fault for preventing the civilians from leaving the area when they were warned to do so by the Israelis long before any military operation began. I said they are no more responsible for the deaths of people being held hostage by terrorists than our air force would have been had they shot down the hijacked planes on 9/11. Hamas had hijacked those neighborhoods

  • Same with Israel. When they give the innocents in the areas the terrorists are hiding and using to launch their rockets ample chance to evacuate before they start any military campaign, but those terrorists prevent the civilians from leaving by trapping them inside, THEY then assume responsibility for ANY deaths that occur after reasonable time has passed since the warnings to evacuate were given.

  • Yeah right. A long planned sneak attack on Gaza timed to ensure maximum deaths of kids by launching it at the time the kids are on the streets coming home from school. Is that what you mean by ample time?

  • "SNEAK ATTACK"?????!!!!!! What are you smoking, you ignoramus??? They warned the population for days beforehand, thus planning it at a time when as long as Hamas didn't trap them inside for use as human shields, the areas they targeted should have been EMPTY of civilians. THAT is what I mean by ample time.

  • Ample time? To do what? Seek shelter in a UN school so the IDF can blow that up?

  • TO LEAVE THE NEIGHBORHOODS THE MONSTERS FROM HAMAS ARE HIDING AND USING AS ROCKET-LAUNCHING BASES FOR CIVILIAN TARGETED ATTACKS!! 1. that school was not the target. 2. it was still much closer to the neighborhoods Hamas was launching its rockets to be a legitimate shelter. They had to go farther from those neighborhoods, and Israel tried to faciliate this. It was HAMAS who prevented it. SO yes, I do know the facts. YOU'RE the one poisoned by terror-sympathizing Al-Jazeera propaganda

  • The true monsters were the one dropping white phosphorous and cluster bombs on the people of Gaza and then blaming it on Hamas or, in many cases, the people of gaza themselves for not voting the way Israel wanted them to

  • Except that it WAS HAMAS'S FAULT because those areas were supposed to be EMPTY TO CIVILIANS BY THE TIME ANY OF THOSE WEAPONS WERE USED AND WOULD HAVE BEEN IF THE MONSTERS FROM HAMAS HADN'T TRAPPED THEM IN THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS!!!!! What part of that concept is too difficult for you to grasp?? And nice way to put that, "not voting the way Israel wanted them too"--yeah, and voting in a government whose unabashed SOLE RAISON D'ETRE is the DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL!!!! That's not a legitimate "government"

  • Hamas had no weapons to speak of. that is quite clear. Israel was in there killing people in droves and nobody fought back. the only IDF deaths were at the hands of friendly fire.

    Apply a little common sense. Israel kills thousands of civilians and hamas kills less than half a dozen -- and you conclude Hamas is the one trying to kill civilians. israel has the most modern weapons the USA can give them with remarkable guidance systems, yet they continue to "accidentally" kill thousands?

  • Yeah, thousands of rockets are "no weapons to speak of"--you are fucking pathetic. You STILL apparently don't get that the only reason those "droves" of people were still in those areas in the first place was because HAMAS TRAPPED THEM INSIDE AFTER ISRAEL WARNED THEM TO EVACUATE!!!! Yes, when civilians are being held hostage by terrorists, there isn't much those modern weapons and guidance systems can do. Hamas is UNABASHED about their desired to kill as many civilians as possible.

  • There are no rockets.

    There are some amateurish projectiles without guidance systems or warheads that have killed less Israelis in the past 8+ years than have bee stings.

  • Those are still ROCKETS you son of a bitch. It doesn't matter how poor the terrorists' AIM is. And those figures are bullshit, and the threat is EVER PRESENT from them even if they miss most of the time. Not to mention Hamas's still unabashed goal to DESTROY THE ENTIRE NATION!!!!! Those who voted for Hamas knew that. They were voting for Israel's destruction, so they become fair game, and yet Israel STILL does its utmost to give ANY non-Hamas individuals in those areas ample time to get out.

  • "Ever present"? The firecrackers Hamas shoots into Israel can reach < 5% of the population, fall harmlessly to the ground over 99% of the time, and have killed less Israelis (18) in the past 8 plus years than have bee stings.

    Israeli citizens are clearly fair game if Gazans are. They voted for Netanyahu and Lieberman and overwhelmingly support assaults on Gaza and are pushing for an Iran war. Zionist supporters have made themselves fair game if the Gazans are

  • The poor aim of the terrorists does not change what they're shooting. THEY'RE NOT "FIRECRACKERS"--THEY'RE ROCKETS!!!!! and ANY percentage of their citizens being in danger is not acceptable. You raving lunatic, Netanyahu and Lieberman have NEVER called for the DESTRUCTION of "Palestine" or of Iran. They may call for attacks on HAMAS and possibly for taking out Iran's nuclear facilities, but NEVER for the destruction of the nations. HAMAS'S VERY CHARTER CALLS FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL!!!!!

  • Cut the nonsense. 18 fatalities in 8 plus years in a nation of millions is inconsequential.  Israel peridiodically goes on month long killing spress where it kills thousands

  • Number one it's FAR more than that--it isn't just the rockets either. REMEMBER THE NAIL STUDDED BOMBS DETONATED ON CITY BUSES, YOU FREAK??!!! Israel's "killing sprees" are aimed ONLY at HAMAS!!!!!! and ANY civilians killed are the responsibility of the MONSTERS who held them hostage for use as HUMAN SHIELDS after Israel did EVERYTHING they could to give them EVERY opportunity to evacuate to safety BEFORE they start cleansing those neighborhoods of the terrorist monsters seeking shelter there

  • A "Zionist" is simply one who recognizes Israel's right to exist. They have no desire to deny that to the Palestinians either. The Gazans who voted for Hamas, on the other hand, blatantly voted for Israel's destruction--Hamas makes no attempt to conceal its reason for existing.

  • No other nation on the planet demands that its neighbors recognize its right to exist. This is just more BS from Israel to excuse its horrific behavior.

    Israel demands that it be known as a Jewish State. No other nation demands it be known as a ''fill in the blank-- state. Israel does this to eliminate any Palestinian right of return to the land they were driven off and to make all non Jews into 2nd class citizens.

    What a sick, racist, nation. Israel is a failed experiment. Let's end it

  • Because no other nation is the world HAS neighbors who REPEATEDLY CALL FOR ITS DESTRUCTION!!!!! You are a sick, racist bastard. They do it to ENSURE THEIR SURVIVAL, YOU SICK FUCK!!!!! Arabs have more rights in Israel than they have in their OWN home nations!!!!! THEY WERE DRIVEN OFF THAT LAND BY A WAR THEY STARTED!!! READ A GODDAMN HISTORY BOOK NOT PUBLISHED BY AL-JAZEERA!!!!!!!!

  • You may claim that others call for the destruction of Israel, but it is Israel that is the player doing all of the destruction.

  • I don't "claim" that--that is FACT!!! Israel aims ONLY to destroy the TERRORISTS WHO TRY TO DESTROY IT!!!!! Any further destruction is on the responsibility of HAMAS--the ones who trap the innocents where they are so they can use them as HUMAN SHIELDS AND THEN BLAME THEIR DEATHS ON ISRAEL!!! Just like our military would have been the ones doing the "destruction" if they had shot down the hijacked 9/11 planes.

  • Talk is cheap.

    Actions speaks volumes.

    And the action says Israel is a sick, violent, twisted, manipulative, paranoid, destructive, imperialistic, militarist state.

    Human shields? How do you use a humans shield against massive bombing campaigns, white phosphorous? You can't.

    Do you guys even think for one second before repeating the nonsensical Zionist propaganda?

  • What "talk"? I'm talking PRECISELY about actions. And Israel's actions are doing EVERYTHING they POSSIBLY can to give innocent people caught in the middle EVERY opportunity to get out of the areas being taken over by the terrorist monsters who use the areas as bases for their civilian targeting rocket launches. So sure, they're violent and destructive against TERRORISTS, but there's NOTHING "paranoid" about responding to CONTINUOUS calls for your DESTRUCTION from every direction around you!!

  • Better look up "imperialist" again. Because defending youself against a constant barrage of rockets doesn't fit that definition. And I've answered your question about how you use human shields about a thousand times, it's just apparently gone in one ear and out the other. You prevent the civilians from leaving when they have been warned repeatedly to do so. The targeted areas were supposed to be EMPTY OF CIVILIANS before ANY weapons, let alone white phosphorus, were used. HAMAS TRAPS THEM IN

  • Nothing "nonsensical" about Israel's right to exist, and that's all "Zionist" means. So yes, those of us who acknowledge this and insist that others do as well do much more than "think"--we also FACT CHECK WITH SOURCES THAT AREN'T TERROR SYMPATHIZING PROPAGANDISTS LIKE AL-JAZEERA!!!!! THEY'RE the ones spouting nonsensical propaganda. What I'm trying to enlighten you with is the VERIFIABLE FACTS AND HISTORICAL BASIS IN REALITY!!!!!!

  • You name me ONE other army is the world who WARNS of impending attacks, dropping leaflets to the civilians, advising them to evacuate the areas that will be targeted by military operations. NAME ONE!!!! NAME ONE!!!! COME ON YOU SICK COWARD, NAME ONE??? Huh, cat got your tongue?? The fact is THERE ARE NO OTHERS!!!! NO army in the world does more to avoid killing civilians than Israel. But when you've got monsters using human shields, sometimes even that will not prevent all civilian deaths

  • Nobody warned nothing.

    It was a sneak attack timed to hit the kids who were in the street returning from school.

    The only evidence of use of humans shields shows the IDF using Plais kids as shields as they do their rounds.

  • Yet another piece of Al-Jazeera propaganda. If you were watching a non-terror cheerleading station, you would have SEEN the flyers that were dropped several days before ANY military operation took place, AND THE FOOTAGE OF THE PLANES DROPPING THEM. They had warned the residents again and again and again to get out. Nothing "sneak" about that!!! And where the FUCK do you get this bullshit about the IDF???? using the human shields, you sick freakazoid??? That practice is WELL-KNOWN by HAMAS!!!

  • There's nothing else I can do or say for someone who hasn no interest in the FACTS, only in listening to terrorist-cheerleading propagandists who back up whatever you need to justify your sickening anti-Semitism. And no, this is not what I call anyone who criticizes anything Israel does, but anyone who claims Israel has no right to exist, as you have done here, can be nothing else. You are truly PATHETIC!!!! I feel sorry for you

  • You really will accept anything Israel says, won't you. Despite the fact any reasonable analyis immediately sees it as bogus.

  • Nope, not accepting "anything Israel says"--what ANY OBJECTIVE non-terrorist applauding media like Al-Jazeera says. YOU show ME a source other than Al-Jazeera to corroborate YOUR bullshit. What Israel says has been corroborated by NUMEROUS sources--even those who don't bother to distinguish between civilian deaths and HAMAS deaths, just clump them all together as "Palestinian deaths" even they STILL acknowledge that the civilians were warned repeatedly to evacuate. NO OTHER ARMY does this

  • Come on, A. Face facts.

    We know as a fact that Israel miltary launched a three plus week assault on Lebanon in 2006 and Gaza in 2008-09, killing over a thousand peopl in each case. This is fact.

    Israel made claims denying the use of cluster bombs and white phosphorous that it had to later retract due to massive evidence to the contrary. They also initially denied hitting the UN building in lebanon and the UN school in Gaza -- both of which they had to retract. These are facts.

  • I know those facts. And the Lebanon operation was TERRIBLY managed and that's why Barak replaced whoever was in place before as Defense Minister. Ok, so I've faced those facts. Now it's time for YOU to face facts. Even in that bungled Lebanon operation they STILL dropped leaflets warning the civilian population to evacuate, once again doing EVERYTHING they POSSIBLY CAN to avoid killing civilians. Yet one more time, if you watched anyone other than Al-Jazeera, you'd SEE the ACTUAL LEAFLETS!!

  • A million cluster bombs and you think israel did everything it could to save civilians?

    Bombing the crap out of central and northern Lebanon when Hezzbolla is solely in the south -- and Israel is trying to protect civilians?

    Let the blinders fall, See the obvious truth. Israel is a sick, sick state and has been since birth. It needs to be put down

  • Quite clearly Hezbollah is NOT solely in the south because ISRAEL DOESNOT TARGET CIVILIANS!!!!! In this kind of warfare, there isn't much more you CAN do to protect civilians once you repeatedly warn them to leave the targeted areas, something Israel ALWAYS does. YOU'RE the one who has to take his blinders off to those facts. Those clustet bombs were used on areas that were supposed to be EMPTY OF CIVILIANS, and there's only two possible reasons they weren't............

  • Either they were trapped where they were by Hamas and Hezbollah for use as human shields, or they intentionally "martyred" themselves (and their children, by the way--the sick bastards) as propaganda against Israel. When I see interviews with mothers holding their newborns and say they dream of their children growing up to become SUICIDE BOMBERS, nothing would surprise me. But whichever one it is doesn't change that fact that Israel tried to facilitate their evacuation before ANY war started

  • Of course. Massive Israeli bombings didn't kill thousands of gazans and lebanese, someone else is to blame.

    What a reasonable and mature stance. Israel is never at fault for what it does. Either it is someone else's fault, or someone else, somewhere else, at some othef time did something equally bad so what are we picking on israel?

    What is Israel, a five year old spoiled brat?

  • When Israel tried to get all the civilians out before they started any bombings, then yes someone else is to blame. One more time, no different than if our military had shot down the 9/11 planes to prevent them from reaching their targets. Technically "the U.S. military" would have "killed its OWN civilians." But the ACTUAL RESPONSIBILITY WOULD HAVE RESTED WITH THE HIJACKERS!!!! Same here. When Israel gives the chance to evacuate targeted areas they are no longer responsible for any deaths

  • Except that israel, of course, did no such thing.

  • Except that they most certainly did, and this is acknowledged by EVERYONE other than your terrorist cheerleading, bully-pulpit offering to bin Laden, genocidal maniacs at your darling gospel truthers at AL-JAZEERA!!! One more time, find me a confirmation that Israel didn't drop those leaflets from ANY source other than that!!!! Otherwise SHUT YOUR FILTHY, GENOCIDE APPLAUDING MOUTH!!!!!!!

  • No.

    Israel launched a sneak attack -- that was the whole point.

    Interestingly, you can view a youtube of a Livni TV broadcast in which she states that it was both a surprise attack and that Israel had warned folks in advance -- all within one sentence!

  • There's nothing "sneak" about an attack in which THE CIVILIANS WERE WARNED TO EVACUATE BEFOREHAND!!! The point being, the leaflets did NOT go to any HAMAS LEADERS OR HEADQUARTERS!!! HAMAS was not warned--THE CIVILIANS WERE!!!!

  • Except that (1) They were not warned and (2) There was nowhere safe to hide was we watched tthe IDF attack mosques, houses, schools, police stations, roads filled with kids coming home from school

  • Not according to your own darlings at Al-Jazeera. Even they acknowledge that they were warned to leave. And yes, any area out of the range of the rockets WAS safe to hide. All of these mosques, houses, schools, or police stations were in areas that HAD BEEN WARNED TO EVACUATE!!!! And parents who kept their kids in these danger zones are THEMSELVES responsible for martyring their OWN children, when they could have saved them!!!!

  • Since you probably won't read it again, guess I'll have to spoonfeed it to you:

    "Al Jazeera's Zeina Awad reporting from southern Israel said: "The leaflets are telling people not to associate themselves with Hamas. They're not an order to evacuate like previous ones"

  • let me make it simpele for you.

    This was an article written during the third week of the mass murder spree.

    Where does it say that "the previous ones" were issued before the onslaught began. In your message to me you noted that it did, but it turns out you had added those words yourslef, they were not part of the article

  • That was the CLEAR implication for ANYONE who isn't a terror sympathizing genocidal pig like you. And you can find COUNTLESS other references to the earlier leaflets in ANY unbiased media outlet you look in. The only "mass murders" being committed were against TERRORISTS, which isn't "murder" at all. The civilians killed in this operation were no more "murdered" by Israel than the passengers on the hijacked 9/11 planes would have been "murdered" by our air force if they had shot them down

  • Nope. A reference to "earlier pamphlets" in an article written three weeks into the mass murder spree does not clearly imply they were issued more than three weeks earlier.  If that implication was clear, you would not have to had added your own language to the article quote to make it seem as if it was clear.

    I dunno, Hundreds of women and babies blown to pieces by isfrael seems like murder to me

  • ...you're retarded if you actually believe that shit. You're stupid, and I hope your stupidity causes you to shoot yourself by accident. Go to Gaza and explain to some of those children that they were meant to evacuate, despite the fact that most of them were wounded, and there's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide from Israel.

  • I believe it because it's true. There's plenty of places to run. It was only the neighborhoods close enough to the boarder with Israel to use as bases for Hamas's blatantly civilian targeting rocket firings that were being targeted. They could escape to any other part of Gaza if their parents didn't choose to martyr their own children as propaganda, or the monsters of Hamas trapped them where they were. SO how about YOU show those children to HAMAS to show what their rocket strikes caused.

  • Wah, wah. 12 Israelis killed last year, that doesn't count as shit. There's more murders in Dublin(which is very small).

  • It doesn't matter how bad the terrorists' aim is--what matters is they are going after civilians in an attempt to completely DESTROY Israel, and Israel is supposed to stand for that?? Give me a fucking break!!! If the Palestinians heeded Israel's AMPLE advance warning to evacuate neighborhoods long before they were to be cleaned out of the terrorists hiding there, the number of Palestinian civilain deaths would have been ZERO!!! Israel's the only army in the world that tries to facilitate this

  • You've got a goddamn freeway sniper who waits in ambush at the oncoming traffic and shoots at hundreds of cars every day, but his aim is so pathetically bad, that he's "only" killed 12 people so far. Yeah, no biggie, you can't do anything about him, just leave the psycho be. Listen to yourself, you sick freak. You're sicker than said sniper--you're the one telling a soveriegn nation that's under attack to let the attacks continue because their attackers have terrible aim.

  • Um... yeah, you need to do something(If you were Israels place, I praise him), but you don't need to fucking bomb the shit out of the place, just send in a squad to get him.

  • I don't know what the fuck you mean by "if you were in Israel's place, I praise him), but whatever the case, the only people they were intending to "bomb the shit out of" was HAMAS!! And in this case there's more than one you could "send in a squad to get"), there are hundreds, if not thousands. The best they can do is give civilians ample opportunity to evacuate before they start any anti-terror action, which they ALWAYS do. Once they do this, what happens to civilians is out of their hands.

  • O... kay so they went out to get Hamas and killed at least 40 kids under 14? and they killed about 1500 but only 900 were counted as Hamas? I praise Hamas for their work, but their ends don't justify the means. But I will celebrate the day israel is destroyed.

  • Well, you've just shown your true colors, making a blatant call for genocide. Congratulations, you've lost ANY shred of credibility you might otherwise have had. And what part of "Israel gave the innocents in those towns the chance to evacuate" don't you understand?? Those kids should not have been there in the first place--they were warned to evacuate with AMPLE time to do so. You voluntarily stay in a war zone when you have the chance to leave, you do so at your own risk.

  • FFS THEY WERE NOT WARNED! Israel will always say they warned the people. But if they warned the civillians, tthen Hamas would know anyway. So that makes perfect sense. And yes, Israel should be wiped off the map. Every man woman and child who chooses to live in Israel is guilty of supporting an apartheid state, that commits mass murder every day.

  • They most certainly were warned and that's known not just because "Israel says so"--this has been corroborated many times over--footage has been shown of Israel dropping those leaflets. The only "mass murder" Israel commits is against TERRORISTS--which is not "murder"--murder requires the element of INTENT to harm civilians--something Israel has NONE!!!!! Nice try anyway, Mr. Genocide Applauder Hitler reincarnate

  • LOL You're comparing me to Hitler? What about those ghettos you keep the Arabs in. Fucking Jew filth. There was a time when I make the distinction between Jews and Zionists, but you play the race card too much so fuckit. Fuck the Jews, Hitler had the right Idea.

  • Yes, indeed I am--you're the one calling for genocide against the Jews. Sounds pretty damn similar to Hitler to me. And every Jew is a "Zionist"--all that means is one who recognizes Israel's right to exist--something I don't know any Jew who doesn't (or any other sane non-Jew either). The Arabs keep themselves in those "ghettos." They've had AMPLE opportunity to improve their own lives, but they've chosen further genocide quests every time. They made their bed, now they have to sleep in it

  • Shut up Jew Filth, you're a Jew, lower then the maggots that eat the carcass of rats. You will soon be destroyed.

  • Wow, you are one hateful scumbag. Might want to do some research on where our society would be without the Jews, buddy.  Go on, keep spewing your filth, you've been marginalized by society long ago. Enjoy your life in the middle ages. But I assure you, we will NEVER be destroyed. Many have tried, and an equal number have FAILED!!!! Too bad for you, you hateful, filth-spewing, genocidal, Hitler reincarnation. Go ahead, start plotting the next Holocaust--you'll fail too. FUCK OFF!!!!

  • Okey, that outburst was uncalled for. I really don't hate the Jews. Just the Zionists. But it is extremely hard to keep the distinction in this day and age. Just replace Jew with Zionist in the last comment.

  • One more time, Hitler, a "Zionist" is nothing more than one who recognizes Israel's right to exist, which every Jew and every sane non-Jew does. So there really IS no "distiniction" because "Zionist" is not a perjorative term.

  • Um... no, a Zionist is the Jewish equivalent of a white supremacist. Go pick up a dictionary some time. And stop referring to anyone who criticizes Israel as "Hitler", the ghettos and Arab curfews are exactly what Hitler did with the Jews. How you can do this shit after what happened to your grandparents is a mystery to me. Go fuck yourself. And I stand by what I said about wiping Israel off the map.

  • There IS no "Jewish equivalent of a white supremecist." No Zionist thinks in ANY way like a white supremecist. Simply recognize Israel's right to exist, so yes, in that way, all Jews and all sane non-Jews are Zionists. BIG difference between Hitler and what Israel does in terms of "ghettos" and "curfews"--the Jews posed no threat to Hitler--unlike the Palesintians to Israel. They "do this shit" to prevent Holocaust, round II. The MOMENT they give up that quest, the restrictions will be ended

  • So true, so true.

    If only the Muslims could grasp these principles, there would be peace.

    But until that point, praise G-d and hand over the ammunition.

  • You fucking genocidal maniac, it is not "criticism of Israel" that earns you the title of Hitler, it is your genocide calls.

  • Genocide would be if I said death to Jews(which I did earlier, but then took it back), but this is Death to Israel. By that logic, you have admitted that Israel is guilty of genocide. And don't play the race card again.

  • I have "admitted" nothing, because, one more time, "GENOCIDE" requires INTENT TO KILL CIVILIANS, which ISRAEL DOES NOT HAVE!!!! You, on the other hand, do. The only way to bring "death to Israel" is to kill everyone who lives there, so yes, you have called for blatant genocide, so yes, you have earned the title of Hitler. Nothing "race card playing" about that. And I (and Israel and its supporters) never said "death to the Palestinians"--only "DEATH TO HAMAS!!!!!!!!!"

  • Ahuh, but you still kill a hell of alot of civilians. And there is huge support for destruction of all Palestinians in Israel. I'm going now, but I'll leave you with this. Your country is sick, and you shouldn't have ever created a country there, it was not your land.

  • That would be because said civilians either CHOSE not to evacuate when given the chance, or were trapped by HAMAS, making THEM responsible for the civilian deaths. I have NEVER heard an Israeli (and certainly not anyone in their government) call for the destruction of all Palestinians--only of HAMAS!!!) If you can show me one (you can't) good luck. "We" didn't create that country--the U.N. did--out of territory under British control. So it was THEIR land-they could do what they wanted with it

  • @ADEAL416 Mr Hypocrite! "We" didn't create that country--the U.N. did--out of territory under British control. So it was THEIR land-they could do what they wanted with it." Really? You honestly believe these lies. You honestly think the Brits gave the land to Israel without some Rich Jew bankers setting the foundation. Plus do you really think Europe wanted Jews in their lands. The Brits didnt want them and they found a home for them plus got rich in the process.

  • @yonisfarah It isn't about whether Europe "wanted Jews in their lands." It was about the fact that the Jews had a legitimate historical right to be established in the land that became the new state of Israel. I'm well aware that the UN created Israel. Whoever the Brits worked with to set the foundation, they had taken control of that land after the fall of the Ottoman Empire at the end of WWI. There was no nation of Palestine, and the territory was British controlled
