The peopl like VOR or YuriOtani don't know the real facts and can't see what is happening in front of them. They are blind although their eyes are wide opened.

I suspect they know very well what is happening. They are covering for their friends.

Does anyone else know how to solve Gaza palestine woes and Israel woes,please suggest any solutions?

For starters, I suggest Israel respect UN resolutions. That would certainly help. Even better would be for all Israelis to return to their respective homelands and stop taking US taxpayers' money to move into Palestinian land.

Foe starters, I suggest Hamas and the Palestinians supporting them stop firing rockets and mortars at Israel. That would certainly help. Even better would be for all troublemakers in Gaza to get with the program and stop making life miserable for so many.

I think what should happen, is that Israel should take the gloves off. Start doing what Hamas does. Everytime Hamas fires off a rocket, Israel should fire off one as well. Everytime Hamas sends another bomber to blow themselves up in a market, Israel should fire a rocket at a crowded Gaza market too. You people that want to accuse Israel of doing all these horrible things, lets have Israel retaliate the same way Hamas does. Sure a lot of innocent civilians would be killed, but then, you all seem to be fine with that anyway. Guess it doesn't matter, as long as they're Jews.

UN should step in to stop this barbaric Israeli aggression towards civilians, terrorism is not a problem that demands an overthetop military solution. This invasion is pure evil.

Crucs, neither the UN nor the USA have the power to 'step in and stop' Israel.

It will take time and pressure.

Just as Iran cannot now stop Hamas right away.

Political and economical sanctions would be a good start, if anything would get Israel in touch with reality would be the prospect of them losing their US backers, and left completely isolated in the middle east.

The problem here is their constant persecution of the palestinian civilian population. These rockets arent launched from city blocks, so why is there such widespread death and destruction?

The irony is Israel is acting exactly the same as the Nazis used too. Somebody has to do something.

Crusades - Actually the UN should step in to stop the barbaric Hamas attacks upon Israel. The evil here is that if Hamas wishes to fight Israel, they should come out and do so rather then hiding like rats among civilians, forcing their people to be human shields. No, stop Hamas, and the invasion goes away. End Hamas evil reign of terror!

Here's an idea... carpet bomb the place. Then BOOM. No more rockets into Israel.

Problem solved. Or, they could simply STOP lobbing rockets into Israel to begin with and avoid the military action. Nahh, they won't do that.

They're all mental. Someone drops a bomb, someone retaliates, someone retaliates, someone retaliates.... It's a never-ending cycle. I know I'm MASSIVELY generalising but so many atrocities have been committed by both sides over the years that it's impossible to place the blame on either. They're both as bad as each other.

I don't think this is a situation that will be resolved by fighting or talking. If they can hold back on the fighting for a generation or two the hatred between them would be lessened and neutralised.

Every post argues one way or the other. I'm sat here thinking "Palestinian sympathy, must be a Muslim/ Isreali sympathy, must be a Jew". This whole conflict is the only proof you need of the damaging power of religion.

molenir "guess it doesnt matter as long as they are jews"..which religion are you jewish,christian,islamic or just plain moronic..all human lives are precious..soldiers too.
Molenir at 06:41 AM JST - 8th January

Yeah, thats my point too. It shouldn't matter, but to some it obviously does. To some posting here, it seems that the lives of Jews are much less important then the lives of others.

AS a neutral i find Israels attacks on innocent women and children beyond belief. World opinion is totally against Israel , except from the USA, the Israeli paymaster, weapons supplier, and no1 fan.

Now prominent Jews in Europe are being warned of revenge attacks, and all because the state of Israel decided to destroy the people and property of the Gaza residents, innocent or not. An absolute disgrace.

So, as a neutral, how do you find their attacks on Hamas? Hamas is hiding behind the skirts of their women, but Israel is shooting at them, not the women and children who shelter them. Thats what I find truly disgraceful.

The BBC just showed proof thatbthe Israelis knew ther were no gunmen in the UN school, came from Israeli military, for you doubters.

Cna anyone on either side now seriously doubt that Israel is comitting genocide?

This is like the Warsaw ghetto, very, very sad indeed.
Shichiman at 03:17 PM JST - 8th January

Molenir, I really don't see how you can sympathise with Israel? This is an atrocity. It's a moral disgrace. If Iehovah actually existed surely this would be punishable with eternal damnation.

The Palestinians are just as bad. They have mercilessly maimed and killed thousands of innocent Jews AND Muslims over the years. They're still using dirty tactics to cause as much damage as possible. If Allah actually existed surely this would be punishable with eternal damnation.

How anyone can think their sympathetic comments are valid and without bias on this topic is beyond belief. Christians and Jews ("the West") will GENERALLY sympathise with Israel, Muslims will generally sympathise with the Palestines.

I would love to hear comments from a Muslim who sympathises with Israel and vice-versa.
