Juan Cole Steps Into Rebel HQ -- How Will Gaza Conflict End?

[akamal1113]

The zionist israel repay its love to America by cursing Jesus & proudly say they kill Jesus.

[gazzalli]

eirefrance your right  muslims especially shouldnt go down to israeli standards(collective punishment)muslims and jews were freinds before the anti-torah zionist state.

[oldhacks]

"Is Israel being too compassionate in GAZA?"

'TruthLogic'...

"IDF War Crimes Update, Gaza 08-09: 1...2...3...4". Sure. Lol

'Truth & Logic': recently granted powers of summary conviction in international law.

Run along, son...it's time for your injection.

Jews do not have another country to go to, Muslims do.

Of course the Muslim countries will say no, but the pressure needs to come from the Western countries, until they realize that that it is the only real solution to the conflict.

[dvliv]

Say what? The Jews lived in many countries across the world for almost 2000 years. They had the option to move into a sparsely populated area after WWII. The Palestinians do not have another country to go to, except Palestine.

[18bites]

saying muslims have other countries to go to is like saying jews can go to new york, california or florida and leave the palestinians alone.

[italo43]

umm there are many places jews can go i mean they could come to canada or the u.s they dont need to kill and conquer a country to find refuge, neither do they have to kill so many innocent

[theyear10000]

Muslims Countries = 56

Jewish Country = 1

Muslims world wide = 1.4 billion

Jews world wide = 14 million

All the Muslim countries could 'pitch-in' and take their "Muslim brothers" into their countries, just like Israel is doing with Jews around the world.

[simply2ghetto]

Funny how zionists use "Jewish" as a race and a religious minority.

Why don't you zionist go ethnically cleanse wales and then go live there?

[theyear10000]

Please look at the numbers.

The 56 Muslim countries occupy 1/3 of planet earths land, with approximately 1.4 billion Muslims world wide!

Israel is approximately the size of New Jersey with about 6 millions Jews.

[nmbypmby34]

JUDAISM IS NOT ZIONISM!! What kind of man would you grow up to be if at 16 months old you were clinging to your dead mother for 4days?????!!!!!!!

[emctreeherder]

Is the Gaza strip really a ghetto not unlike the Warsaw Ghetto of W.W.2 I think so. Is the collective punishment now being forced on the Palestinian people the same as the treatment of the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto by the Nazi's I think so. Are the Zionist in control of Israel much different than the Nazi's I think not.

[devo071]

children... they are killing children!!!!

[geezzerboy]

Hands up those who believe that there are no Mossad Agents in Hamas. Or Fatah? Anyone who believes that, also believes that Mossad Agents never never act as Agent Provocateurs. Read some approved histories of Mossad, the things they admit to, or have been caught at, will make your hair curl.

[pplayer666]

I think "zionists" is who he referred to in his previous statement. Its merely logical that there is no reason to call anti-genocide jews as an arrogant ones..

[gefan3]

What does it say that one is struck by Juan Cole's courage in even saying these things?

[xdir]

The existance of Israel is anti-jewish, according to jewish law, the jews made a covenant with God in which they would worship in exchange for land. They broke the covenant and were cursed to be stateless until the return of the messiah. There are Jews who are anti-israel.

[fandingo]

An excellent and informative interview. All the better for having the time to go beyond the sound bites.

I'd like to see a similar piece with a supporter of the Israeli action (I'm sure Cenk would too, and fingers crossed that TYT will get one to agree to come on) because what I've heard in the shorter "MSM" pieces by Mark Regev and co screams out for follow-up questions, or at least something more than a cutaway shot of Wolf Blitzer nodding.

[Encyclopeteia]

Excellent interview, 5 stars!

[Xenu]

Please have Prof. Cole more often on your program! He is an excellent guest and very well informed.

[PaxBrittanica]

lol captured their govt. They're insane.

[LPGfan]

The militant Israelis are not stupid: they are desperate and willing to use techniques to manipulate public opinion in Gaza, Israel, and the U.S. to get what they want. Their choice of violence to get their objective and their choice to control lands that they stole set the process in motion.

The current action might reduce the chance of Hamas being reelected, & might precipitate a response that can be blamed on Iran so Israel can bomb Iran now instead of waiting until Iran is better armed.

[Mathesonguy]

The two state solution will be a reality within 20 years.

This guy is ridiculously one sided, making up what he thinks isreal is trying to achive, and cenk has no objectivity on this.

They dont need to "collapse" hamas, only to humiliate them; and they may yet achieve this goal.

Is it "insanely obstanant" for hamas supporters to contiue firing ineffective rockets, while the people around them pay the price?

[mcalien24]

you mean cenk has no neutrality on this...cuz he certainly is objective

neutrality is different than objectivity. real objectivity seeks truth regardless of any other circumstances. neutrality merely seeks the equal conditions neccessary to present opposing view points.

in neutrality, you dont take sides. in objectivity, you take the side of truth.

so you subscribe to the notion that hamas has left israel no choice but to bomb palestinian civilians?

[moroccangirlie]

Hitler would be so proud of the jews nowadays.

And the US does nothing about it? No, 'cause Iraq was such a big treat.

[mrbadguysan]

This has got nothing to do with being antisemitic or not; why do we in the US support these arrogant Jews?

[eirefrance]

Talk like that borders on racism. I don't care if every single Jew in the world supports every action done by Israel, remember they're humans first and ethnic/racial identities are mostly invented anyway.

[mrbadguysan]

I didn't say "Every single Jew on planet Earth is arrogant." Nor by any means am I insinuating that all Jewish people on planet earth are in agreement, they're not.

The Israelis, who are presumably Jews, alternate between treating Gaza like a foreign country and a backyard when convenient. That's arrogant.

I find it ironic that you bring up the equality and bond between all humans, the Israelis in power don't seem to agree with you on that point.

What I'm asking is, why do we support it?

[bubygtf]

I really think this is a bad interview and the worst part of that is that I'm on your side. Name calling, laughing and feeding questions to someone is more of a FOX thing so please leave it to them because I usually agree with you.

[tommy99addams]

Well, its bout time we just wipe both isreal and pelestine off the map. Its never ending till the end of time.

[FrostbiteQc]

rocquet VS white phosphorus...what is more dangerous?????

[KamMetalComplex]

big fan cenk, keep up the kick-ass reports.

[saadasim]

Israel starves the Gazans and denies them medicine and their money. Gazans throw bottle rockets over the fence which was built on their land. Israel drops 500,000 pounds of bombs on Gaza.

[thedelta88]

i want that suit.

[sonyavsystem]

Israel broke the ceasfire by attacking Palestinian positions near the Gaza-Egypt border. There is no denying this.

[mckennydarryl]

keep up the great job
