Couple of e-mails and pics I've received from folks in Gaza have "israeli" soldiers dressed as Hamas fighters luring people from their houses promising safe haven, and then killing them in cold blood. Bulldozers have been recorded pushing hundreds of dead Palestinians into mass graves. Men and boys captured by IOF personnel are being summarily executed in violation of the Geneva Convention, as they seem to have been thrown by the wayside by the plunderers. The official number for casualties doesn't include boys over 15 and men. So do the math. Ah! "israeli" Genocide in Gaza! Ain't it grand?

"israeli" forces advance, for the purpose of stealing land, like they always do. "At least with the '67 borders there's a chance at peace." Peace is not "israel´s" goal. It is complete domination of a land free of Palestinians. Simple as that. Armed robbery and murder writ large.

Want a peace process? Answer your own question improved: "Does everyone think "israel" should hand back the land it stole, stop committing genocide, stop developing and using nuclear and other illegal weapons, join the NNPT, accept IAEA monitors, respect the Palestinians' Right of Return and stop attacking Lebanon, Syria and other countries in exchange for international acceptance as an entity of state in the community of civilized nations?" And check out your heroes' comments before you do.

Well, when American interests stop bombing the bejeepers out of Somalia (Ooops, that's a secret isn't it?) to steal their resources, maybe the pirates won't have any reason to Jack Sparrow the tankers!

The key issue, apart from "Who's wiping who off the map?" is of disproportionality of response.

Toyota mantra: Take the long term view. Workers will follow as they´ll still have jobs and improved skills when the smoke clears, literally, and they make more efficient green cars. While they also eat the big3´s lunch.

Well, folks, the people who are claiming that Iraq had WMD are the same ones lying to try and link Iran to the obvious genocide occuring in Gaza today.
If I'm a shill (correct spelling) it is for the truth. Just stop the killing. Everyone!

Obama's team should get in a 4-year supply of extra strength Pepto-Bismol. They're going to need it with all the stomach acid this economy is going generate for them. Amazing: Clinton leaves a surplus and peace. Bush leaves debt, death, destruction and a depression. We ALL need some Pepto-Bismol too!

Israeli numbers on civilians killed in Gaza do not count males aged 15-55 who they consider to be military targets. So, double the numbers to 1,400 slaughtered in Gaza. 10 killed, most by friendly fire, in Israel. THIS is what divides the (whole?) Arab world, S L A U G T H E R of innocents.

Iran lurks nowhere. Israel's "booga-booga" fearmongering (L I E S!) is trying to make everyone think that Iran is the enemy. Not only did their President never say he wanted to wipe Israel off the map, Iran hasn't attacked anyone, anywhere in the past few centuries, except Saddam, and even then, only in self-defense. You want to see "wiping off the face of the earth?" Look no further than Gaza. Then see who's "lurking" in the shadows slaughtering children with American supplied and paid for banned weapons of mass destruction. As I type, the body count reader shows: Gaza 700 & Israel 10.

Why Israel is Attacking Gaza Now: “They Want It To Be Over Before The Next Administration Comes In” Sources in the defense establishment said Defense Minister Ehud Barak instructed the Israel Defense Forces to prepare for the operation over six months ago, even as Israel was beginning to negotiate a ceasefire agreement with Hamas. According to the sources, Barak maintained that although the lull would allow Hamas to prepare for a showdown with Israel, the Israeli army needed time to prepare, as well.
Therefore, it is certain that Israel's massacre in Gaza is not related to any specific recent rocket attacks by Hamas.
So why did Israel choose this moment to attack Gaza? Well, the Bush administration will be out in mere weeks. And while Obama has made nice with AIPAC and Israeli interests, Israel isn't sure that he will be as acommodating as the current administration. The Israeli decision to launch the attacks on Gaza was a political, not security, decision. Just a day or two before the airstrikes, it was Israel that rejected Hamas’s diplomatic initiative aimed at extending the six-month-long ceasefire that had frayed but largely stayed together since June, and that expired 26 December. Hamas officials, working through Egyptian mediators, had urged Israel to lift the siege of Gaza as the basis for continuing an extended ceasefire. Israel, including Foreign Minister Tsipi Livni, of the “centrist” (in the Israeli context) Kadima Party, rejected the proposal. Livni, who went to Egypt but refused to seriously consider the Hamas offer, is running in a tight race for prime minister; her top opponent is the further-right Benyamin Netanyahu of the officially hawkish Likud party, who has campaigned against Livni and the Kadima government for their alleged “soft” approach to the Palestinians. With elections looming in February, no candidate can afford to appear anything but super-militaristic. Further, it is certain that the Israeli government was eager to move militarily while Bush was still in office. The Washington Post quoted a Bush administration official saying that Israel struck in Gaza “because they want it to be over before the next administration comes in. They can’t predict how the next administration will handle it. And this is not the way they want to start with the new administration.”

"If all the members of Hamas were to drop dead tomorrow of Heart attacks, Gaza would suddenly become peaceful. Israel would have no reason to attack them, they would re-open the borders etc." God bless your innocence and naivete, Molenir. You have missed one key piece of the puzzle here. "israel" is literally hell-bent on destroying every single man, woman and child who would dare to lay claim to even one square centimetre of what they consider to be 'their' land. All of the people who claim Palestinian ancestry will have to die, preferably violent deaths at "israeli" hands to bring "israeli" aggression to a halt. Then, they'd find another group to kill. That is the nature of the "israeli b6e6a6st"

And apparently, they'll have some surprises awaiting them, according to a Hamas text message sent yesterday to the IOF troops amassed. See the text here: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3648799,00.html
