Looking at the images of the young children and the grief and pain expressed by the men carrying their siblings either to the emergency room or to the morgue is heart breaking,
Zionism is once again clearly exposed to the entire world and there should not b e any doubt in anyone's mind any longer what this facist State and occupier of P alestinian Arab land is all about.
Any Arab or none Arab politician who dares to shake the hand of a low life Zioni st criminal is equal if not worse.This goes for Abbas and Mubarak as well.

To disgusted, and others, two wrongs don't make a right. Many can argue that Ham as is justified in firing rockets into Israel. Many argue this is only terrorism and has absolutely no justification.
Israel is scared of the future, this much is fact. They see the situation as onl y getting worse and feel they must do something, anything. If children die that is regrettable..after all the rockets are getting closer to Tel Aviv, and then m aybe some Israelis will be killed.
In one day the Israelis have killed more children than all Israeli deaths combin ed in all rocket attacks. This is wrong, this is terrorism, what other purpose d oes killing children achieve then creating terror
I have no answer, but most should see that these actions are not the correct res ponse. Israel has not shown good faith in their dealings with Palestine, the set tlements and destruction of the olive groves are proof enough of this. How else do they think a people will respond to naked aggression? However Hamas has state d that Israel should not exist, how do they think Israel would respond?
Regardless, this situation has progressed much further than philosophies can fix . An immediate cease fire, complete withdrawal of all forces, immediate cessatio n of rockets, open Gaza, no more attacks on the Palestinian farmers, and honorin g all accords regarding the settlements seems to be the only answers. of course, this will never happen, the Zionists will make certain of this. This will play out, and generations will continue to hate and fight. The Palestinians cannot be wiped out, and the Zionists will never stop....

So long as the world fails to remember that the Jews did not just instal themsel ves into Isreal we shall remain confused. The right to set these borders came di rectly from settlement of WW2. The Allies set these borders as is the war derive d right of the victors. All efforts to resist the borders of Isreal, or any othe r nation whose borders were established at the end of WW2 must deal with the genuine source of responsibility... the Allies. I have read the letter from a king who wanted us to understand the Jews had no place because they weren't wanted by the population of arabs there before. Wrong answer! You are Nazi symp. You lost and your people were out and out nazi symp. You will not be inquired of as to what is or is not the border of conquered land. You are still nazi symp as best as I can tell. This situation can get worse if your people insist on reseting the borders. Please work harder to get along!

I can't begin to tell you how ashamed I am of my country(US). As a Vietnam vete ran I thought we had learned a lesson from war. To see these people, especially the children, breaks my heart. I pray for you. The US has been largely isolate d from world events. I think this empire is in it's last days,or at least I hop e. We are being judged for what we have done. Only God can save us now.

Act such as this can only be defined as a power in a desperate and declining sta te,aiming and shooting with WMD on places where womens seeking shelters and prot ecting their babys and childerens from this inhuman bombardement is clearly an a ct of cowardice and desperation.

To "disgusted" on his defence of the Israeli soliders:
This is murder and ethnic cleansing-nothing more. The bottle rockets being toss ed at Israel are nothing compared to an army armed by the US.
Israel has been starving and oppressing these people in a Ghetto similar to the Nazi efforts in WWII. Are you blinded by your own hate when you see a young chi ld with 2 bullet holes in his chest? Where does reason and compassion stop and such hatred and insanity begin.
I suggest you find the film "The Iron Wall" and learn the truth of Palestine.

This is madness. Israel is bombing the world's largest concentration camp and the US sits back and supports them in the UN and with military weapons.
the horrible fate the jews suffered at the hands of the nazis does not excuse th em for what they are now doing to the palestinian people. no food no hope, fenc ed in and bombed. how can we as human beings allow shit like this to happen?

****
There are no rockets fired from Gaza by anyone onto southern Israel. This is ent irely Israeli propaganda. Look carefully at the TV `news` when they show the `su ffering` women of Sderot; they can barely keep themselves from laughing - at us !
They cringe, they cower, they huddle together, they wail as a jet engine sound c omes and goes, supposedly a deadly Hamas rocket flying over, but no terminating explosion is heard, just a fading away.
And not a spot, or a smudge, even of tomato sauce on any of them ! Hair nicely m ade up for the camera too, as well as clothing neat and fresh and pressed.
Another piece of million dollar evidence is a pic of Sderot residents, maybe 5 o f them, looking southwards at the action over the border in Gaza, with the sort of expression on their faces as if watching race horses run on which they have s ome money.
When they show them, notice the rocket remnants near some alleged point of impac t ? Or notice rusty junkyard scrap cobbled together at a welder's shop for those ritualistic photo ops, with the variant of the rocket tail sticking out of some sand ?
All this is proof that because the Israelis have not resumed sacrificing the occ asional one of their own to blame an Arab, they are stuck with having to do some pretty raw and basic psyops which is very easily exposed.
So, any doubters reading this have some focussed attention time ahead of you.

there is only a God ,he is the same for the israelians ,for the palestinians e f or all the world. This Father will take with him those angels that gave to us an d we did'nt love . I say to the palestinians and israelians : we ,all together,p ray our Father that gives the peace for all the world and helps us to forgive al l the men that made this. It's very hard but it's only way.

There are 1.3 million Arabs within Israel, and nobody is killing them. Why? Beca use they do not fire rockets at civilians. Therefore, have Hamas stop with the m issiles and any other form of terrorism, and your children will be safe and soun d.

There's something fishy with these pics: why only boys? Where're the girls kille d or wounded? I didn't see a single girl. Are you telling me that the Israelis a re targeting only boys, and the shells can tell the victim's gender?
Or maybe girls don't matter in the media warfare...

Well Hamas look what you brought upon us. Perhaps now you will stop your unprovo ked attacks on Israel, and build up our state as the jews did theirs. Hamas you are responsible for this what would you have done if israel kept sending rockets into you. They are "Firing" to get an end to you not to balance the books. Alla h Akbar.

Hi gies,
As you know our people are suffering all types and forms of suffering in order t o build our own country and to break this illegal siege. Israeli F-16 bombing Pa lestinian population centers. While Israel has promised to end all "military act ivity " against Palestinian. The Government and people of Palestine are facing A pache helicopters with their bare hands. The other side(Israel) is killing our innocent people in a savage way. Furthermore, they stole our land, burnt our olive trees, destroyed our house, took our water and bombed our country. Now My question seems simple enough who is a terrorist? My massage is so clear stop killing our people.

I am a full original American who was brought up Chridtian, and I am telling you that Jews are the one who killed Jesus so for all of you dick head christians(l ike Fucker Bush and Dickhead Cheney) you are idiots to believe that Jews are vic tims of anything. They were son of bitches 2000 years ago and that is why God k icked them out the promised land, and they are still sons of bitches today. They have stolen a country with the help of our fucking US govt and fucker british govt. They should have given their own land to jews in 48, not steal from others anf give to jews. All Americans who support the jewish bastards will burn in hell with them and then we will se who is right. Us Americans are so fucking brain dead that we are easily led by the kuklux klan led FOX news and other biased news stations in US. Those were innocent civilians murdered by bastard jews with military support of DICK cheney and Fucker Bush to murder innocent women children and civilians. i am disgusted at my government for supporting a terrorist group of fuckers like the jews. How many jewish children have been killed by arabs????? Arabs are losing their lives, their children, their homes and the hope, and i am sure i would do worse than dropping a homemade bomb in a field 20 miles from any jews if jews had stolen my land, killed myfamily, subjegated me, stole my land, and took my freedom. Anyone of us would, add that with the atrocities in Plaestine, and Lebanon?? One day they will get exactly what they deserve, and all the time when they are blamed, they cry halocaust/The fucker jews alive today never suffered under the halocaust. And the ones that did would never support what those fuckers are doing now to murder children, and old people in their homes. One day all you lilly livered country men of mine with no brain cells to believe everything bush and fox news told you will be the ones burning in hell with those fucker jews, bush, cheney, saddam, and bin laden. all are equal mother fuckers. That is why i am proud to be on a blacklist in America.
