As you and I and everyone in the world knows skipthesong. Israel was created by killing and terrorising the majority of Palestinians and destroying 100s of Palestinian towns and villages. Israel is and will always be the aggressors.

People who are ingorant about this conflict namely the people who watch this conflict through North American media will think this is a war against Hamas where as no one in Palestine and people who watch this conflict through local Palestinian media or Arab media believes in this lie. All the Palestinian factions are now united in fighting the Zionist aggressors. This war is between the IOF and the Palestinian people.
Hamas has time after time proposed a long-term truce provided that the Israelis prove their willingness to withdraw, in accordance with international law, from all the territories occupied in the aftermath of their 1967 incursions. Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank, including East Jerusalem; the dismantling of all Israeli settlements behind the 4 June 1967 lines.
Hamas's claims are in line with UN resolutions and international law. It is Israel who does not comply with international law. Israel is the terrorists not the Palestinians.
Nonetheless, in the face of the current barrage of bombs and tanks, the Palestinian people reserve the right to enforce United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2649.
Passed by the international community, the resolution "affirms the legitimacy of the struggle of people under colonial and alien domination recognized as being entitled to the right of self-determination to restore to themselves that right by any means at their disposal.

Israel is carrying out genocidal massacres throughout Gaza for the purpose of subjugating and humiliating its people and imposing surrender on the Palestinian people. But the steadfastness of the Palestinian will is impossible to break and as soon as the genocidal massare is over it will be a turning point leading up to dignity and freedom for the Palestinians.Palestinians are confronting the Israeli holocaust on two fronts. First, the diplomatic front, aimed at stopping the Israeli blitzkrieg. Second, steadfastness in the face of the aggression. The Palestinian freedom fighters have displayed heroism and will keep up the resistance until victory. Apart from killing children Israel is no longer able to achieve its political goals in Gaza. Hamas wants a genuine peace deal including open borders where as Israel wants unconditional surrender in order to keep the occupation and oppression on going. When the massacre is over Hamas and the Palestinian people will have merged vicotrious.

Israeli atrocities committed against the Palestinian people is not going to change their stance. As pictures of dead children is being sent on TV the support for war in US will decrease and alianate it´s allies. The further Israel is in Gaza the further Israel will sink in mud. Israel say they will now go to a new phase of war. All these phases of war but what is it that they have achieved politically? Israel does not want to get into street battles in the refugee camps, but will probably rather shoot at the areas from a distance. Barak, may well be satisfied with the death of an estimated 1000 Palestinians and pull it´s troops out or maybe he wants to go out in a big bang. Both Israeli leaders and Palestinian leaders will need to use brokers and come with a peace deal. Israel needs to stop aggression, withdrawal from Gaza, deployment of international forces, opening borders. Israeli leaders should be prosecuted in international war crimes tribunals for using WP on civilians.

Thanks for the nice feedback adaydream . I think the latest attack on Gaza from Israel has to do with various reasons. One is trying to end Hamas rule in Gaza but here I think Israel is not suceeding so what they now do is bomb and kill civilians in making them scared in not voting for Hamas in the next election. The reason why Israel does this is because not because of Hamas ideology but because Hamas is the most popular political party in Palestine. Before Hamas, Israel was doing the exact same thing to PLO as they do now to Hamas. The other reason is for political gains. Politicians bomb Gaza right before the electionsto boost the popularity of Barak and Livni. They are so-called moderates who do not want to lose votes to Nethanyahu.

adaydream . Hamas is is the political party governing Gaza who won the elections in 2006. Hamas is not the military arm of Gaza there are military arms within Hamas but that is not the same as saying Hamas is the military arm of Gaza. Other Palestinian factions are fighting IOF in Gaza now. The correct terminology would be IOF is fighting Palestinian fighters in Gaza. It is not Hamas who are firing rockets into Israel it is various people within various brigades who do. Technically speaking it could be Fatah firing rockts or Islamic Jihad but Hamas gets the blame for the rockets because the govern Gaza and since they are not able to stop the rocket firings. Hamas does not want to stop the rockets though because Israel does life the blockade.
It is wrong to label Hamas a terrorist organization. It is retarded. If Hamas is a terrorist organization then Israel is too.

What is wrong with Hamas? They are democratic and is only demanding their rights according to international law. Besides this is not a war on Hamas but all Palestiians as all the Palestinian factions are united on Gaza from Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Islamic Jihad, Fatah, Hamas. Palestinian fighters are giving stiff resistance to the biliion Dollar Israeli war machine but they are not being able to reach their objectives.
The fighters enjoy lots of support among it´s citizens. Palestinians have every right to defend themselves. Resistance is not terrorism. Occupation is.

Hamas is willing to work with the elected Palestinian government and the international community to avoid regional instability and bring renewed hope to our people.
Looks as if it is not Hamas who is disresepcting international laws and agreements.

This is not a war on Hamas. That is propaganda. All the various politicla factions in Palestine is currently united fighting IOF. Ayman Juda Brigades,Al-Aqsa Brigades,Abu Ali Mustafa brigades,PFLP,Ayman Juda, An-Nasser and NRB together with Fatah and Hamas.
The Palestinian fighters enjoy bug support from the Palestinian people unlike the IOF who now are dressing up like Palestinin fighters raiding civilian homes.

Israel cannot expect security for its people as long as it occupies Palestinian lands and continues its attempt to impose a permanent military rule over the Palestinians by force. Israel must end its aggression ASAP and go into genuine political negotiations with a united Palestinian leadership. Both Hamas and Abbas.

Palestinians do not accept the confiscation of the Palestinian people's right to resist occupation because wherever there is occupation, there is resistance,the issue is not only humanitarian, but there is occupation which must end.
israel must completely withdrawal all of their IOF troops from the Gaza, ending the siege and opening the crossings especially the Rafah border crossing.
Hamas claims are in line with international law and agreements.

What Israel are you talking about? Hamas has agreed to make a state of the 67 borders why is it that Israel will not define it's borders? UN votes show how isolated the US and Israel really are. It will not be long before Israel runs out of money, since their main patron, the United States, is bankrupt. At that point Israel will have no choice but to shed its paranoid fortress mentality and accept a peace agreement based on the 1967 UN resolution and the people guilty of committing war crimes should be convicted for their crimes by the International Court.

There are two bodies of law that deal with international relations in this world, International Law and the Law of the Jungle. Until today, Israel refuse to accept the global consensus that the Gaza Strip and West Bank, and East Jerusalem, are all militarily occupied territory. The occupying power is Israel. By ignoring this fact that Israel is an occupying power, Israel have created an environment that can only be described as the “Law of the Jungle,” where might is right and where, as we see in Gaza now, anything goes. Israel could have accepted international humanitarian law, as stipulated in the Fourth Geneva Conventions regulating occupations, and avoided many of the seemingly impossible positions Israel find themselves in today: from the settlement to the reality of missile attacks from the Gaza Strip.
Israel could have avoided dealing with the natural reaction of any occupied people to resist their occupation, by allowing international players to get involved and serve as a sort of referee between Palestinians and the occupying military.
Israel's main goal is maxium geopgraphy with minimum demography.
