Hamas was created by israeli mossad you idiots !!!! so that they could have a reason to murder palestinians Its just the same tactics like the usa war on terror with Al Quaida that was created by the usa in the first place. THE GOVERNMENTS create THEIR OWN TERROR ORGANIZATIONS that THEY control. then they use those to stage "terror attacs" to have a "reason" to go to war, murder, invade, take the rights of each one of you. WAKE THE FUCK UP !!!!!!!!! WAKE THE FUCK UP !!!!

this would not had happened if Hamas and the islamists are not crazy like Hitler, your cause is like Hitler's idiology. nothing more nothing less but much barbaric

Is it really impossible for Jewish people who suffered so cruelly themselves -- more cruelly perhaps than any other people in history -- to understand the vulnerability and the yearning of those whom they have displaced? Does extreme suffering always kindle cruelty?(Arundhati Roy,Booker prize winner and social activist,India)

The point is Muslims are flooding into Western Europe and many many natives don't like it any more than the Palestinians like having Jewish immigrants move into their native land. But the Muslims are OK with themselves going into Europe and driven to murderous rages about the Jewish immigrants. If that's not a racist double standard, then what is it exactly? If you think the Euros are happy about Muslim immigration, you need to get that crap out of your head.

Not true. I and most of the rest of the world are just tired of the globalization of a local conflict. Do the Palestinian people have rights? Yes. Do the Israelis? Yes. sele brought up depleted uranium, and warcrimes, I simply stated that Hamas is equally culpable. Check my comments on all the related stories. I'm not against the Palestinian people, I'm against Hamas. They have no mandate in Gaza, they took it by force from the Palestinian people, and have used it as a forward base for Jihad.

you need to get that crap out of your head, there are countless muslim doctors and engineers etc invited to work in the western countries due to the 'skills shortage' they're experiencing!

also, the zionist jewish government firmly believe they're the "choosen people" and that the "holy land" was promised to them by God! thats their claim to the land of palestine and the cause of the formation of their army, to forcefully takeover another sovereign country and ethnically clense its citizens
