For me Miko is a Palestinian leader. He has the same right in Palestine as me. I would like to buy few copies of his book. It will be good gift to my non Arabic speaker friends

[Tali Bradley]

Yes, we are all human beings and need to remember that above all politics.

[Haneefah Gililland]

Yeah, I'm sure you know better than Miko wants going on in Israel. You don't know anything!!! Many Jews have been inside Palestine and one American Jewish lady lived in the West Bank for 5 months! Anna Baltzer. Look at one of her videos here on youtube.

When truly non-involved Palestinian civilians are killed by Israeli munitions, it's by accident, unavoidable--or because Palestinian terrorists purposely hide under the aprons of those civilians. Never by design.

Yet decades of hundreds of dead Israeli schoolchildren prove that the Palestinians behave like starved jackals. They believe that any killing will feed their cause.

The many, many sane Palestinians should distance themselves from the psychotics and expose them wherever they are.

"If you were an Israeli who had seen your daughter blown to bloody shreds in a school bus explosion, might you also be over-zealous in your response?"

Try saying that about Palestinians who have lost their families, farms, lands, country. Might you also be over-zealous in your response?

If you say that for Israel, say it for the Palestinians!

[the81kid]

Because he's the son of a famous, decorated Israeli general? Maybe also because he was a soldier in the IDF?

Israel even barred Noam Chomsky from entering Israel! But I suppose even for Israel the tables will turn eventually.

[the81kid]

"Why must Palestinians & Muslim fundamentalists use death as their negotiating tool?"

How many Palestinians (families, children, babies, women, civilians) has Israel killed?

How many Israelis have the Palestinians killed?

Answer the questions. With numbers.

Israel is a criminal nation as it is. And for you to point fingers at the indigenous population is disgusting.

[MongoMetrix]

That low level of response--on any topic of discussion--is typical of those who don't want to answer difficult questions.

Pax Vobiscum 

[NaseDaGreat]

Hahaha are you serious??? So you're classing Palestinians & Muslim fundamentalists as the same???? Its people like you and your comments on a subject that is so far out of your reach of knowledge that knock me sick!! Please go and either crawl under the rock you came from or do some research (real independant research) on the subjects you feel compelled on commenting on!!

[besamemucho5]

if it is so easy for Israel to silence so many people in Gaza why is miko peled allowed to publicly criticize them without any repercussions?

[MongoMetrix]

Why must Palestinians & Muslim fundamentalists use death as their negotiating tool?

Let them seek redress by peaceful MODERN means that don't alienate humanitarians everywhere:

- DOCUMENT charges with photos--not rhetoric

- Peaceful marches & sit-ins w/o "Death to..." signs

- Exposing firebrands on both sides who foment death & retaliation.

If you were an Israeli who had seen your daughter blown to bloody shreds in a school bus explosion, might you also be over-zealous in your response?
