An Endgame for Israel

[JuicyRight]

All they're doing is pissing the Lord off. Getting God mad.

[hirschjoe]

The word "Fatah" means to open; that is what Western press fails to understand that this organization was established to "open" up the Land of Israel to the Arabs only!

[peretz48]

I'm sure that the IDF has considered Stephens' scenario, but it's easier said than done.

[danfak1985]

You must be high to believe that Britian and America have not been feeding israel since winston churchill placed them in the middle east. The jews had three options, ethiopia, canada, or the middle east. your probably one of the fox news watchers who believes that colombus was the first to discover america, not the indians who were already settled here. God forgive you

[danfak1985]

as soon as america stops feeding israel with a baby spoon, israel is done.

[c9dw2rm8]

Well before the 80's

USA didn't give israel any aid ,

And back then israel survive 4 wars against barbarian sea of arabs

[NaBjE11]

menn these stupid ameicans

[RobGnorts]

Dr. Walid Khalidi articulated the Palestinians position as follows:

"The native people of Palestine, like the native people of every other country in the Arab world, Asia, Africa and Europe, refused to divide the land with a settler community."

[RobGnorts]

A declared state should have a sovereign government. What existed in the so-called Jewish state in 1948 were three Zionist terrorist organisations: the Irgun, the Hagana and the Stern gang. They could not be considered a government. They were criminals who violated the integrity of the state of Palestine and expelled hundreds of thousands of its indigenous people.

Notice any similarity with the policy of the present day bunch of Israeli leaders!

[RobGnorts]

International Law Digest defines a state as a people permanently occupying a fixed territory, bound together by common law, habits, and customs into one body politic.

The United Kingdom did not own Palestine and had no relation whatsoever with it in 1916 when it agreed with Zionist leaders to issue the Balfour Declaration a year later. This Declaration remains illegal and invalid even though it was injected into the Mandate for Palestine through power politics.

[StewartLucrative]

the endgame of israel is the endgame of religion, which is sadly, impossible.

[senglord]

You mean that Israel is going to make the Gaza Strip into an indefinite colony?

Isn't this exactly what happened with Lebanon in 1982?

Oh yes, there are going to be U.N./N.A.T.O. peacekeepers.

Just like 1982.

Only there is no way that the American people are going to put our hands into another Mideast hornets nest.

[puresrtrash]

I guess you forgot the part where Palestinian witnesses said they saw masked militants launch mortars from the UN compound?

[worldwanderer91]

We the people of the world that condemn the unjust Israeli aggression against Palestinians must do more than just demand a ceassfire, hold protests, and shame Israel. We must demand that military action must also be an option if Israel refuses to back down. We must put pressure on nations that supports Israel, particularly the US. We must demand that our tax money isn't funding this genocide. WE MUST demand the UN to intervene militarly if there is no end in sight and if peace talks fail

[lastinline99]

Worldwanderer91,

How deprived you are. You defend a terrorist organization that openly states it wants to annihilate Israel. You defend those that hide behind civilians, instead of standing infront of them. It is people like you that make me ashamed to be human. Plus, you say nothing of the rockets flying into Israel. Certainly no "polarizing" here. NO sir.

[worldwanderer91]

lastinline99, I never defended Hamas in anyway. That's you drunk talking. Hamas should be ashamed of itself for cowardly tatics involving the Palestinians in it's proxy war against Israel. They know damn well rocket attacks would incur the wrath of Israel. But Israel isn't innocent either. The death toll is 700+ Palestinians to 13 Israelis died. The Palestinian people are the real victims here; they are being used as pawns in someone else's war.

[lastinline99]

Yes, but the death toll is Hamas' fault. It is they that hide behind their civilians. I feel for them, trust me I do, but Hamas is really to blame.

[NaBjE11]

@lastinline99 no thats not true israel is hiding bihind palestian civilians,hamas never did so,but nice try

[worldwanderer91]

I dare anyone who blindly supports Israel to try telling the Palestinians that this war and this many of their own dead in this war was justified. I dare all of you to just try telling that to a mother weeping for her dead child, to an orphan who lost his parents to the shells, to the surviving families in Gaza who lost their relatives & friends. Just try that! Remember, in every war there two views: the view of paries involved in it, and the view of innocent civilians caught in the croosfire.

[Georgehoefer]

yes hamas is a terrorist organization with a doubt but it gives Israel no right to act like one in return

[lastinline99]

Does a terrorist organization warn its enemy's civilians to stay away from possible targets? NO. Israel has done all it could to minimize civilian casualties, not increase them.

[barnettrs]

I'm in colmplete agreement with you lasinline99. There isn't any civil nation in this world that would put up with continual shellings from a terrorist group without some kind of retribution. Israel has gone beyond measure to warn Palestinian civilians to stay away from targeted areas. It is Hamas who has shed and still sheds the innocent blood of the Gaza citizens. Hamas should chanel it's hatred into positive actions...but wait....that's not the terrorists way!

[worldwanderer91]

The latest news has indicated that Israel has shelled a UN compound storing food for Palestinian refugees and are targeting journalists. Attacking a UN compound is a grave offense and defiance to the UN. The UN must impose sanctions on Israel, shun it and demand that all nations stop funding Israel. Also the UN must put Israel on trial for war crimes. The world must stand up and do more for the Palestinians who are the true victims of this war, not Israelis.

[alqutami85]

their has not been ONE proof that Their using them as shields, and even if they were israel has the best technology in the world, they can target an ANT, shame on you using that excuse to kill kids....

[alqutami85]

Israel is on the attack not the defense. And your tax money is paing it. They might get away with it now but what are you going to say on judgement day??? Have a heart, children are children and blood is blood whether ur muslim christian or jewish.

[alqutami85]

Israel is using weapons that no only kills people but the ones that live get diformed and it passes on to their kids so they can be deformed and handicapped. Thats inhumain man. DOnt sit and tell me Israel is defending it self when they killed over 600 children and women and injured almost 5000 in TWO weeks.

[vision4wisdom]

The agenda requires conflict & terrorism.

A defense contractors wet dream fulfilled.

Global death pulls the strings , Puppets.

[6fatchix]

How can you defeat an idea?

[5x5s]

WW2 was not fought so Jewish people could put Palestinians in concentration camps. We watch Palestinians wither away in death camps, people piled upon people, filth, disease and death everywhere. The children will battle Goliath. A Palestinians future is to fight honorably, defend and free their people from Israeli persecution. Dozens of movies and documentaries are churned out using WW2 Concentration camp pictures and films - Never Again! Tell that to the Palestinians; Shame on the WW2 Allies.

[yodade37]

Palestinians (women and children) are being killed because of Hamas.They fire rockets into civilian Israel for years and make the statement "Israel does not have the right to exist". Israel finally fights back and the media jumps all over it. Then we get "shame on you" from people posting on Youtube??

Have a good evening!

[alqutami85]

isreal has been OCCUPYING palestine for more then 60 years. Look at the ILLEGAL settelments. Look at the number of palestinians killed comared to the Israelis. Look at the percentage of civilians killed on both sides. Stop beeing soo BLIND and open your eyes.

[yodade37]

Israel goes out of it's way to protect it's civilians. Hamas hides among theirs and uses them as shields. That is ONE of the reasons there are more Palestinian civilian deaths.

[thoughtcrimer]

I think the rest of the world (including the U.S.) needs to stop all support of Israel in every way, and let them fend for themselves in the region.

[peacehonesty]

When will the World Comunity, and U.N. respond to Isreali War Crimes, and Defiance of the United Nations?

Under the definition of "Rouge Nation", Isreal commits War Crimes, Defies the U.N., Agresivly contnues Human Rights Violations, and Threatens with WMD's.

Rouge Nation = Pre-Emptive Strikes.

The World Comunity needs to Stop the ongoing Agression of Isreal. Niegboring Countries Respond to Agression. Is it not Pre-Emptive Strikes from Hezbolla, Hammas, Islamic Jihad and the former PLO?

[peacehonesty]

Isreal is a refugee camp that, with the support of the U.S. and U.K. Isreal has continually oversteped its boundaries.

Isreal problems are Land Theft, Raceist Policies, Opression, War Crimes, and a Slow Genocide of the Palistinian Race.

So the Nieghboring Countries respond to Isreali Agression.

Due to American Political Corruption from Isreals AIPAC, the U.S. Government will not respond against Isreali Human Atrocities, Human Rights Violations and War Crimes.

Isreal is a Rouge Nation.

[wizzzer1337]

Im Israeli, and what i can say is that i dont believe in a military solution for the Palestinian issue. the problem is that Hamas is rocketing civilians primeraly, so in the end the IDF will have to retaliate. there will be casualties. and than the world points its hypocrit finger toward Israel.

im not saying we are innocent, i know very well what horrors we created.

there would be no Hamas without Israel. every Israeli is not very proud to know this.

and...the only real solution is peace.

[1voceunica]

The US (& all other democracies) is right to protect democracy in Israel. Did not Arafat reject an offer to regain parts of Israel? Hamas plants its headquarters under its own hospitals & schools then shoots at Israel & knows if she defends herself the world's media looks on in horror. Hamas has shot over 5,000 rockets into Israel in the last 2 yrs. At what point is it okay for Israel to fight back? Hamas doesn't care if their own people perish; they think they'll go to heaven.

[c9dw2rm8]

You are not israeli , You are an arab israeli or just ARAB- and your place is in ARABIA

JEWS TO JUDEA , ARABS TO ARABIA

[wizzzer1337]

never heard of Arabia, and i am Jewish Israeli. i dont even speak arab, but i speak the truth. and if the solution, the final solution (a harsh phrase for a jew) is not peace, than what is? total anihhilation?

i can see that you are a belgian jew, and i can also see how naive your view on the middle east can be.

[c9dw2rm8]

Jewish family name don't make you Jewish!!

This is probably your only connection to judaism

And Arabia - is where the Arabs should live - The Arab peninsula - Geography lessons in 3 grade

[wizzzer1337]

you know what? fuck you, i live in Israel, i am jewish i fought for it. you go jack yourself in belgium, you are the type of jews with a very narrow minded point of view. and your twisted view on arabs is nothing but danger to Israel. why wont you come over and start a settlement like any other haisty outsider jew, which we BTW are sending troops to protect. risking our lives for this nonesential expensionism.

i hate jews like you, far right jews that are narrow minded. FUCK YOU.

[WhoRonPaul]

These are not issues relevant to Americans. In other words, don't try and bring your stupid wars here.

[barak1344]

lol danfak, do you realize u just called me a retard and havent even wrote ONE thing regarding my comment?

ppl like you are the reason we face humanitarian crisis in the mid east every few years.

Dirty mouth! BE QUIET!

[danfak1985]

barak1344 is a retard. the arab nations would be living more peacefully if our country wasn't addicted to oil. WHen we americans stop being sheep and start standing up for what is morally right and wrong, and stop worrying about the latest iphone, we can really start being respected in the eyes of the world. dumb retarted sheep!!!

[orcishgod]

fucking idiot tool. fighting hamas in a smart way? genocide against all palestinians? even if you dont consider it genocide, the way that israel is ending up with a thousand casualties is no such "smart way"

[barak1344]

ofcourse they got elected democraticly by palestinians, but not before hamas killed and tortured thousands of fatah activists!

please... read history!

[yodade37]

Agree with you Barak. It's refreshing to see an educated response from time to time.

[k1a1t1h1y1]

bullshit, lies, Hamas was a majority elected government by the palestinians.

[c9dw2rm8]

So was hitler !!

[gregoryfunicello]

zionist propaganda

[mymagen]

Hey Islamic terrorists,

If Israel wanted to kill Arabs, deliberately, there would be 250,000 dead Arabs in Gaza right now. They have enough fire-power to sink Gaza into the Mediterranean.

Give us a break!

[tiecuando]

I'd poison their water then.

[xyzjohnwesley]

Doesnt matter, Israel still has no moral right to be in Palestine. Not in Gaza, not in any place around it. Problem is not with Israel having enough fire-power, its about not having the moral high ground to fight the war.

There are no brave Thugs.

[jakeupstudios]

no moral right?

oh wait i remember when someone bombs/rockets/and kills your people for at least 3 years your not supposed to do anything

[danfak1985]

if anyone of you follow the news past a day, you will hear the news stations apologizing for their errors. cnn had a report 2 days ago stating that israel broke the cease fire by hitting civilian targets in two cities. Hamas therfore responded with rocket attacks. And any rascist who believes that 1000 palestinien is equal to 10 israeli lives should do some seriouos sole searching!

[barak1344]

Its amusing that when u look at comments in youtube people change history as easy as they change opinions, i call to all palestinians supporters, STOP LYING AND DECIVING! MAYBE ISRAELIS PUSH THE BOTTONS, BUT HAMAS AND OTHER TERRORISTS ORGANIZATIONS ENCOURAGED THIS REACTION!

Now if any of you want to show his love and appreciation to palestinians start by helping israel destroy the illegitimate rule of hamas over gaza!

[k1a1t1h1y1]

illegitimate rule?

they were elected by the Palestinians, weren't they? Someone has to stand up for Palestine.

[worldwanderer91]

Put Israel on trial for war crimes. 700+ Palestinians compared to a couple of dead Israeli is ridiculus. The world demands a ceassfire and it must happen now. Israel is reckless; it kills innocent Palestinians as they hunt for Hamas. They should be put on trial for charges of delibrate targeting of civillians, delying and obstructing internation aid to the Palestinians, and genocide. Their actions in Gaza has all the elements of war crimes.

[patriot15joe]

so what do you call what hamas does?

[worldwanderer91]

I don't know what to call of Hamas' actions. But I know that they baited Israel and the Israelis played into their hands. If Israel wants support of the international community they can't just target Palestinians as Hamas target Israelis. If they do that, just how different are they from Hamas? Israel & its supporters also has no right to claim the moral high ground since Israel has bloodied its hands with the blood of 700+ innocent Palestinians civillians who had nothing to do with Hamas.

[OwlGoon]

The world demands a cease-fire but Hamass is completely against it

[1785Dawg]

This is so ludicrus a statemetn as to border on the insane. Isreal wants peace. They want to co-exist in peace. The Arabs do not want peace, but want Isreal pushed off the face of the earth. One side wants to live in peace and harmony. The other side wants genocide of an entire nation. How do you negotiate with that. Isreal is responding to Hamas threats and attacks. Hamas, who states their goal is the destruction of Isreal.

[manu4ever6]

exactly! ever since its conception, hamas and its 'parent' and related groups have constantly and unwaveringly stated that they wil and are going to attempt to obliterate Israel. There is not even a remote possibility of being able to communicate witha body with that kind of general mindset. people are criticizing Israel for this attack, but what would you do if a nation sent 4,000 odd rockets into your country annually, with no end in sight?

[Kimikimer]

@1785Dawg AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA.

Israefuck pushed Palestine off the map. It created the largest amount of refugees. Israel is a illegitimate government.

[NaBjE11]

@1785Dawg menn the propaganda stop it already thats not true israel is the big problem for not having peace.

[Soccer7SG]

Israeli war criminals need to be stopped immediately! America would not take this from their neighbors. It goes both way people! Read the history before you run your mouths. Look up stories from former Israeli army members who regret the "war crimes" they did and the "intentional killing of innocent civilians" as they put it. They are ordered to kill Arabs and Muslims. Read. Watch videos from Israeli soldiers protesting while they fear for their own lives from their government and people for it/

[danfak1985]

israel will continue to lose all support from the world, and all their enemies will close in as they gain more and more support. it will be a great day when that happens

[termansan]

If Israel is defeated in either a conventional or WMD attack, the last thing it will do will be to unleash a nuclear nightmare on it's enemies. Think of this next time you decide to spew your thoughtless predictions. Israel wants peace, but is ALWAYS ready for war.

[tiecuando]

All the more reason they must be ended sooner than they can possibly react.

[barnettrs]

Bret Stephens is right...Hamas is both an illegitimate govt. and a terrorist group. Why should Israel continue to allow Hamas to shell them without some type of retribution? When you get piss ants in your house, you can't allow them to continue to tunnel unless you want to live in a mess. Yeah..exterminate the piss ants..whether it be the multi-legged kind or Hamas.

[freeamerica365]

WSJ , you sick fucks are traitors to this great nation that our founders gave us..your part of the elite you sickos. fuck you and Israel. Israel is guilty of war crimes , and companys like you being part of the new world order will have your day in court. by us the PATRIOTS. not your courts...ours.

doc

[bigred997]

hamas is getting what it deserves, as the guy in this video spoke.

it has no interest in living peacably with anyone who is not islamic and uses it own people as pawns.

that's another reason no tears are being shed in saudi arabia, jordan and turkey even if they don't care much for israel there.

[azizmohaisen]

it's not true that there is no tears shed on what is going in Gaza in these countries. turkey itself is a different story -- and if your their prime ministers speech it's all about support to Gaza -- but the corrupted governing ``families'' in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt don't have interest in having Hamas governing in Gaza. in fact the want Hamas to go to hell on one way ticket because it's being successful in Gaza -- for the time they governed -- threaten their agendas and thorns.

[barnettrs]

Well spoken! Hamas doesn't have any intention for peace...not with Israel or anyone else who isn't in agreement with radical Islam.

[LokiClock]

I feel like throwing up after the first 45 seconds.

[swordofisis]

Northern Israel.... North! Buy war bonds! lol!

[Norskmazmx5]

Israel > Hezbollah, Hamas, Al Quaeda, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon

Israel will NEVER be defeated

[azizmohaisen]

are you insane? since when Egypt is against Israel? Don't you have TV? or they don't show these things on your TV?

[kashmiriguycali4nia]

haha, my friend tv is the worst way to retrieve political information!

[azizmohaisen]

ok. take it from me, for the past 36 years, egypt never entered a war against israel and will not go for a war forever. anyway, my comment intended for that he didn't even try to find any information about that thing; even via the worst way which is the tv.

[Norskmazmx5]

referring to the six day war, where egypt got their ass kicked

[tonnaire]

Good luck my dear friend. Big time miscalculation, worse results than 2006. Competitions to win the incoming general elections and this is making Hamas look like a big hero. Israel created Hamas to compete with Fatah, see the result. Also another miscalculation.

[blktern]

zionist holocaust on palestenian people.

[swordofisis]

Hooray for Zion!

[therealcaptobvious]

Preventing halocaust doesn't include shooting missles at the said group. Doh!

You don't feed the tigers if you don't want your hand bitten off either.

[Cage71]

wall street bullshit cheap jewish propaganda

[Cage71]

agoloshawait until iran get nuclear weapons

[shazyagha]

Death to Israel

[voyeurdug]

For Hamas, "cease fire" means, "reload."

[neotoy]

It doesn't matter if they "win" Israel has ruined its international image, and it will be decades before they can disassociate themselves from the blatant human rights violations that they perpetrated during this conflict. Blowing up schools, blowing up aid shipments, killing hundreds of Palestinian children.. This war is already over, and Israel lost.

[swordofisis]

nah~! if you kill everyone whose been "violated" then whos left to carry the torch? Just ask some native americans, if you can find one!

[neotoy]

The Indians didn't have the internet, cell-phones with cameras, or access to global news networks. If they had, things would have gone a bit differently. Information doesn't just 'go away' like it used to. That was then, this is now.

[swordofisis]

Thats funny, youre funny. Yeah... Governments cant do anything about what goes on on the internet! people are still more interested in music videos and paris hilton and living in their own little world than whats going on in the rest of the world anyway. The Superbowl will get more ratings than Gaza! And like I said, if the people "go away" then the "problem" quickly follows!

[neotoy]

Glad you think I'm funny. The whole world is watching Gaza, but I don't think that many other people are laughing at the crimes against humanity that are taking place there. Crimes that are being immortalized by modern technology and will live on long after the victims have been buried.

[swordofisis]

People from all over the world, not really the whole world. And all their immortalized video footage will be drowned out by the box office, the superbowl, the emmies, the oscars, sitcoms, sci-fi, schoolwork, ect...

[swordofisis]

The remaining Indians own Casinos, how much do you think they spend on cultural awareness?
