I am glad that Hamas has rockets that can hit Tel Aviv. Hopefully the next time Israel decide to invade they will use them. Israel know that time is running out on the “Holocust(?)guilt”,that seems to exist. US is getting less white and more “browner”. There were a lot of blacks and Latinos that were the side of the Palestinians during the invasion of Gaza. The “Holocust card” doesn’t mean nothing to us.

Think of it, Hamas rockets now can reach Cairo as well as Tel Aviv. Egyptian security forces captured Hizbullah operatives at their Gaza border plotting against Egypt. And the Fool’sGoldstone will be asked to write another report blaming Israel for inciting islamofascists to war.
Shame on you United Nations.

Sure enough, Hezbollah denied the arms were for them, and sure enough the charge of piracy is being levelled by you-know-who’s again.

Oh,and here am I, who was born in a German DP camp, being accused of Nazism by someone who I bet is very sympathetic to their cause. Anyhow, Judah and Samaria is Jewish land, but if the Arabs want a 22nd state there, they will have to sit down and negotiate with the Jewish state without preconditions. Otherwise, I say, settle on, ISrael, settle on! Onto the Jordan river!

jgarbuz (who needs a life and just wants to dominate the “converssation”) says: “Israel should start moving more settlers INTO Judah and Samaria, and back into Gaza! It should cut off all talks with the so-called “Palestinians” and stop wasting time with them. They never wanted peace, but only to drive the JEws out. It’s time they be driven out instead.”

Change the names of the people and places and Hitler and the Aryan supremacists could not have said it better regarding their plans. You sir, are a straight up racist.

Just prior to the capture of the Iranian vessel carrying 300 tons worth of arms for Hizbullah, the UN Secretary had just declared that there was no evidence of Hizbullah being re-armed by Iran.

J W Muirhead Says:

After what has recently been endured by the people of Gaza it cannot be surprising that they would seek to arm themselves in order to exact a higher price for Israeli agression. It does little to advance an agenda that would bring meaningful improvement to the lives of the citizens of Gaza, however, and increases the chances for another oversized reaction from the famously paranoid Zionist state. Perhaps it’s another lie to justify more Israeli barbarity. As an American taxpayer I’m weary of my conscripted complicity in the whole fiasco.

This story is an Israely ploy to smear and get support to invade Iran, this jewish state is a trouble maker and I’m afraid will trigger a devastating war in the middle east dragging in the western world. This ploy was tried with Iraq but backfired, the Europeans soon realised the “BIG LIE” of WMD’s so pulled their troops out in time. I think we all know who was responsible for that lie.

The people of Palestine have every right to defend themselves! Just like Israel does, don’t they? How is it Israel has the right to kill 1400 people in about three weeks (66 people a day) in the so called name of their self-defence? 13 Israelis killed 10 soliders. Talking about one-sided. I guess that’s the problem with the Goldstone Report. It was unblanced but the conflict is? GTFOOH!!!! No way will this injustice stand!! How should Israel respond? And outragous question to begin with! They should repond in the international criminal courts for war crimes and crimes againts humanity! And no amount of lobbing will change this reality! No matter how the House and Congress votes! It’s a crying shame…

Aleem Aziz Says:

I cannot in good conscience support Iran or Hamas on this or give any excuses for them. Israel would be well within its rights to destroy (once again) all Hamas installations though I would not want to see the kinds of wanton killing of civilians that happened almost a year ago.

I cannot support anything that would kill, injure, or frighten innocent civilians. Not only is it inhumane, it won’t work and will lead to even more suffering.

Don Straub Says:

Hamas can now potentially strike Tel-Aviv with long-range rockets. Certainly, for Israelis, this must be very disconcerting. Israel has for some time now been developing a missile shield, but it hasn’t been perfected. Hopefully when Hamas does strike, Israel will be ready. I believe that Israel will not tolerate missiles falling upon its population centers. It will hit Gaza hard and once again risk international condemnation. But, in this matter, Israel will have no choice. A nation’s government must protect its citizens at all costs.

Paul Marion Says:

Having lived extensively in the Middle East, I was at the time new to the situation. I could not tell Jew from Arab. After living closely with both people I can wholeheartedly support Israel.

I have experienced Palestinian betrayal of both their Jordanian and Lebanon partners who were helping them, allowing them to live within their land. The Jordanians killed 15,000 Palestinians on Black September in the 70’s and Beirut suffered a long civil war propabated by Palestinian terrorists who desired to rob the central banks of Beirut of all their cash. Palestinians were all kicked out of Kuwait when the Palestinian workers betrayed their Kuwaiti hosts for Saddam Hussein in Saddam Hussein’s attempt to steal conquer Kuwait. Eygyptians despise the Palestinians for all that they have caused in their country and they have a steel border hemming in the Palestinians on the Gaza strip isolating them from Egyptian Sinai. Yes, the more you experience the Palestinians the more you understand why they will always lose, they beg to lose. With the new rockets, Israel will be handed the rights to slaughter Palestinians with wholesale bombing of Gaza. Yes, Palestinians are born to lose as lawless brutes.

To #31: You evidently don’t know that there were always large Jewish communities living in the Holy Land.

Nor that the majority of Israelis are descended from Jewish refugees from Arab lands.

After the Arabs failed to destroy Israel in 1948, they kicked out their own Jews - who anyway had a miserable existence.

It does not take a political pundit to realize that after decades of conflict this was inevitable.

Israel was created by the west because of their guilt over Hitlers actions that they helped to let happen. They have been murdering the palestinians ever sence then. They haave at least 200 nukes, jets ,ships, tanks,etc. and the palestinians have hand held guns. Let us pray for the fall of the state of Israel and the rights of the palestinians to THERE LAND!

So who cares about the Palestinians getting revenge upon their persecutors in Tel Aviv? If there was any justice in this world, the USA’s military would crater all the airport runways in Israel with missiles in retaliation for the Lavon Affair, the NUMEC affair, Jonathan Jay Pollard, and above all, the premeditated attack on the USS Liberty. I used to support Israel—no more. Israel can go to hell–the sooner the better. The entire globe, not just the Mideast, would be safer and better off if the USA told the Jews (Israel is promoted in the public relations world as the “Jewish State”) to bugger off–no ifs, ands, or buts.

Both are corrupt power hungry factions. The only common goal they share is their aim of destroying Israel, though by different means.

Selly Love Says:

Jordan is 78% of Palestine. It is five times the size of Israel. Jordan’s residents are mostly Palestinian. It should be the Palestinian state, perhaps in confederation with part of the West Bank.

As to #13: Israel has bent over backwards and sideways to the Palestinians and the Arab world.

It handed over Gaza, and got Hamas and rockets in return. It withdrew from South lebanon, and got Hezbollah rockets in exchange.

The bottom line remains Arab refusal to accept Jewish self determination, no matter how small the Jewish state..

11/03/2009 :: 08:00:27 PM
Dorn L Says:

Israel has very few options. If it defends itself, its gets hammered by the UN, which is dominated by the Arab block. These days, even the Obama administration criticizes it, while giving he Arabs a free ride.

If Israel lets the missiles rain in, the news media hardly reports them, and when the media does, it rationalizes Arab attacks.

World Focus is not reporting the rockets that continue to hit Israel from Gaza.

First of all, the IDF is not to be believed without verification. Second, while I fully support Palestinians and condemn Israel’s ongoing killings and unwillingness to negotiate, it is a mistake for them to try to out-fight Israel, I think. Although they are in extremely dire straits while the partying continues in Tel Aviv.

The Palestinians have mostly been abandoned, primarily by the US which is the key country here due to the $$$, and they are defenseless and impoverished. So I don’t know what they should do. And it seems they have turned to fundamentalist religion to soothe the despair (some God!).

Secretary of State Hilary Clinton

Washington, DC

Subject: Palestinian and Israeli relationship to Afghanistan and Pakistan – Look at the BIG PICTURE

Dear Secretary Clinton:

I would like to point out the relationship between the above parties. Osama Bin Laden has referred to treatment of Palestinians as his reason for attacking US interests. Please consider the possibility that he was talking plain.

Although all these are extremely difficult situations, I admire the efforts you are making to get closer to non-military solutions. Wouldn’t it be great if terrorists were having conversations?

I believe the US should encourage Israel to conduct non-military investigation into its actions during the last response to Palestinian rocket fire. Since Israel was found to have the most violations by the International Humanitarian Investigation, it would encourage the Palestinians to do the same if Israel’s leader would stop the simplistic claim that they were defending their territory and address the damage to agricultural non-military targets (found to not be hiding enemies). It is time to follow up on the non-partisan investigation already done.

Keep insisting that settlements be frozen and some dismantled. Extremists in Israel are taking even private property on which to build settlements.

My comments are based on interviews mostly on Public Television. Hopefully you can look at the Big Picture and decide what to recommend in Afghanistan and Pakistan. I believe that progress in the other countries will be recognized by extremists and start the tide changing. You know best how to translate my comments into action.

Sincerely,

11/03/2009 :: 05:16:41 PM
Don White Says:

Israel is playing a bad hand where bluff has about run out. When the only tool in your repertoire is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Indeed, before Israel makes a big deal of what Hamas can do and can’t do, how about complying with UN resolutions regarding territorial rights of Palestinians?
Why does Israel or for that matter any other country expect other forces to behave when it itself disregards international laws? When will this policy of double standards end? As long as powerful countries ignore international laws they cannot expect other forces to behave any differently.
