Binfalistin,

" the truth is Israel evacuated the Jews from Gaza and closed the doors of Gaza to let the Palestinians die there slowly , that is the real intention ,. It is adelibrate murder , "

Get your facts straight. The Jews imposed a blockade on the Gazah crossings, after Hamas came to power and declared to destroy Israel. However, they they are still letting humanitarian aid through, even under rocket fire from Hamas, and even today.

I think the situation that a country is actually sending aid to a hostile neighbour while getting rocket fire in return is quite unique.

I am hoping that they should take some time to celebrate New Year and that they should quit maiming each others, shake hands and show some humane efforts. Killing does not bring happiness at all. happy New Year to all.

You get your facts straight. And stop sounding like an ignorant. The indegenous Palestinains were dying of starvation in Gaza.

itcher74 - You get your facts straight. Hamas is a terrorist organization that needs to to be wiped out.

Sarge your the last person to be pointing out facts. Do you even know how Hamas came about, what its purpose is, OR the fact that even after the last assalt from Isreal they cared and compensated their people.

Funny you can never see the other side of anything.

By allowing Hamas to rule, the Palestinians have sealed their fate. Arabs like to say that in the end they will win, but history isn't on their side. Israel is doing what it has to. To be honest, Hamas gets more money when more Palestinians die, so who really benefits?

Yes it's a horrible situation when innocent people and children are killed while the brave Hamas hide amongst them. How long did they expect to Isreal to continue being attacked and not retaliate. I'm sure by now we have all seen the footage of Hamas rockets firing from apartment buildings. A more meaningful protest would be directed at this terrible organization of terrorists. where were the protesters when innocent Israeli children were being target on purpose?

Strewth, most people are against Israel and support the demonstrators because the Israelis are being callous bleeders.

DXXP - Yeah, I know how Hamas came about ( it was created in 1987 by the terrorist Sheikh Ahmed Yassin ), and I know what its purpose is ( the destruction of Israel ).

Another sad chapter in the israeli attempt at genocide of the palestinians. Attacking an totally and illegally occupied starved defenseless demoralized people is really noble of the nuclear armed Israel.

Zurcronium, you're mis-usin' the word "genocide".

Hamas doesn't agree with you that they're defenseless. Within the past ten hours, they've told the world throught their leadership - leadership hidin' in Syria and not present in Gaza - that they're ready to take the Israelis on.
zurcronium at 05:01 PM JST - 3rd January

genocide is the right word. along with apartheid. You would think that nuclear powered israeli would recall its own history and before that what happened in WW2 but no, they act just like the those that oppressed them years and years ago. That is simply amazing and so sad to see.

Only the retread restoration wingers would support the murder that is going on now in the West Bank. This is the Iraq invasion story all over again. Lies on top of lies and then outright murder of kids and others in a shock and awe display of horrific terror by a state government.

Moderator: Expressions like "retread restoration wingers" are meaningless, lower the level of discussion and reflect badly on yourself. Please lift the level of your contributions.

Zurcronium, if "genocide" were the correct word then ethnic-Palestinians would not be living peaceably within the State of Israel.

If "genocide" were the correct word ethic-Palestinians would be elected to the Knesset, Israel's governin' body.

I don't think you know what the "shock and awe" strategy is either in view of the context you're usin' here.

Hamas could always stop their mischief, Zurcronium. Feelin' as you do about Hamas, it's then fortunate for Hamas that the Israelis haven't gone to war yet.

"wouldn't be elected" (which they are)
zurcronium at 05:27 PM JST - 3rd January

The Arabs in Palestine are just as dead or dying due to the genocidal policies of Israel even if the apologists deny reality. The nuclear armed Israel is using its power out of proportion to any moral standard, just as bush did in shock and awe. Its failure policies, doomed to repeat endlessly until sane people take over power. Which fortunately has happened in the US.

If you think the Arabs living in Israel are not semi-slaves you are totally out of touch. Why dont you suggest that Israeli let the West Bank Arabs flock to Israel . . .that would solve everything then according to your statement. Sure that will happen, right.

Read the facts on what is happening in the West Bank and then you will know its genocide, pure and simple.
